Rurouni Demon
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin!
K.K.: My first Rurouni Kenshin fanfic! Hurray for me! This is going to be a weird fan fiction & even I don't have the slightest idea of how it's going to turn out as of now. ^^* *pokes her notebook* I've been writing the "Kurama's Plight" fanfic & now this "Rurouni Demon" fanfic in there. This is probably my dumbest fic yet! Hurray for me!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kenshin, it looks like you need to make another tofu run. 'Little Yahiko' ate all of the tofu that we were supposed to have tonight for dinner," Kaoru says.
Kenshin smiles, "That's alright, Yahiko's still a growing boy, that he is."
Yahiko bit his tongue, and hard too so he wouldn't chew Kaoru's head off. Instead, he glares daggers into her & imagines all sorts of mishaps that could happen to her (or rather not) such as a cow falling on her from the sky, or other large objects.
Kenshin glances down at the two little girls hanging onto his pants leg, smiling warmly, "I take it that you two want to go as well?"
They grin childish grins & nod ecstatically, "Yes Uncle Ken! Please can we go???"
He chuckles & nods, "I don't see why not."
They cheer & run around him in circles. Before he is able to get dizzy, Kenshin picks up Suzumi & sits her on one of his shoulders. He makes sure to secure her with one hand while the other hand is held onto by the other girl, Ayame.
They begin their walk towards town with Kenshin playing with the two girls & tickling them. It was easy to tell how much he loved them & would do anything for them. A mysterious man realizes this from his location on a branch of a nearby tree & grins wickedly from underneath his hood.
He leaps down off of the branch, "Batousai!"
Kenshin immediately stops & turns to face the man.
He sets down Suzumi & stands in front of the two girls protectively, "I'm no longer the man-slayer, batousai. I've become a wanderer who uses his sword to protect people, not for bloodshed. Who might you be?"
The stranger smirks, "That's not really important as of now, but my name's Keran. I've heard of your skills in battle & want you to be the leader of our little organization."
Kenshin narrows his eyes, "I decline."
Keran continues to smirk, "Then you must suffer greatly."
He holds out his hand towards Kenshin & begins chanting something under his breath. Kenshin can feel his body tingling at first, but then it slowly turns into pain. He falls onto his hands & knees as the pain becomes unbearable. Light begins to encircle the red-haired rurouni ((Heh, try saying that 5 times fast.)) and both Ayame & Suzumi watch their Uncle Ken in horror. The light breaks away & what the girls see isn't even close to what they were expecting. It was Kenshin, but with amber eyes, claws, and ears that appeared to be a fox's planted on top of his head. To top it all off, he now had a slender tail to match the ears.
Kenshin pants heavily from exhaustion, not noticing his transformation, "What'd you do to me? What kind of sorcery was that?"
Keran doesn't reply & the girls begin running towards Kenshin, "Uncle Ken!"
Keran smirks, disappears, and reappears behind Ayame & Suzumi. He scoops one up in each arm & leaps back a few yards.
They begin crying & reaching out towards their adopted uncle, "Uncle Ken!"
Kenshin's eyes widen out of fear, "Ayame! Suzumi!"
Keran laughs, "I can't believe that you still have feelings as a demon!" Kenshin blinks, "A... demon...?"
"Uncle Ken!" the girls shouted again, sobbing.
Kenshin's eyes narrow & he bares his teeth, revealing his newly grown demonic fangs, "You had better let them go, they haven't done anything to you!"
He draws his reverse-blade sword, but Keran continues to smirk smugly, "Go ahead, but you might accidentally hurt these children."
Kenshin growls & re-sheathes his sword, "Coward, hiding behind children..."
The man shakes his head, "I'm not a coward, these children are more like insurance that you'll fight me."
"Take this!" someone shouts a split second before they strike Keran's head from behind.
He lets Ayame & Suzumi go out of shock & they run towards Kenshin.
Kenshin kneels down & greets them with open arms, taking them into a hug, "Thank goodness you two are safe..." He looks back up to see who had struck the evil sorceror Keran & sees a young black haired boy with his wooden sword drawn, "Yahiko."
The man turns to face Yahiko, "You dare strike me runt?"
Yahiko cocks an eyebrow, "Runt? And how dare you shield yourself with two little girls?" He narrows his eyes & seethes, "You will pay!"
He begins running at the sorceror with his sword held above him. Keran mutters an incantation as the arrogant boy speeds towards him. Yahiko jumps up high into the air & is about to slam his sword down on Keran's head when he becomes frozen in midair. His limbs snap out straight & he loses grip on his sword.
Keran clicks his tongue disapprovingly & slowly shakes his head, "Foolish boy, why did you have to interfere?"
He holds out his hands towards the helpless Yahiko & mutters another spell. Electricity begins coursing through his fingers. He fires off small bolts of electricity, one at a time, at Yahiko. Yahiko winces as each one hits & blood drips from the wounds created.
Kenshin's eyes widen, "Yahiko!"
The sorceror grins wickedly & stops. With a flick of his wrist & one word, he sends Yahiko flying at a tremendous speed. Yahiko yells & crashes into a tree, causing the tree's trunk to splinter from the force. He falls & hits the ground with a sickening thud.
Kenshin gasps, "YAHIKO!!!"
He glances over to see Keran smiling before he (Keran) slowly unsheathes the sword at his waist. He walks over towards Yahiko's motionless body & Kenshin's anger sky-rockets.
He looks down at Ayame & Suzumi, "Stay here."
They nod & he stands up fully, facing Keran.
Kenshin growls & dashes towards Keran, unsheathing his reverse-blade sword. Keran raises up his sword & brings it down towards Yahiko. Kenshin quickly gets in the way & blocks with his sword. He snarls & is able to slowly lift his & Keran's sword up due to his demon strength with anger to boot. He suddenly cuts upward in one quick motion & sends the man's sword flying. Keran takes a step back, but Kenshin's anger takes full control of him. His eyes show immense hatred towards the dark sorceror, and Kenshin, himself, begins to look evil.
He snarls, "Say goodbye!"
He slashes his sword down, using the sharp side, and nearly slices the man in two halves. The sorceror falls & forms a pool of blood below him. Kenshin pants heavily with his sword still drawn & glares at Keran's dead body.
At this moment, he realizes what he's done & he gasps. His legs give out & he falls to his hands & knees.
"I took another life..." he whispers.
He looks over at his sword & grimaces when he sees blood on the actual blade.
Ayame & Suzumi run over to him, "Uncle Ken!"
His fox ears twitch when he hears his name & he raises his head to see Ayame & Suzumi running towards him.
Tears begin welling up in his eyes, "Ayame... Suzumi...."
They finally make it to him & stand on opposite sides of him, each with a comforting hand on his back.
Ayame kneels next to him with her hand still on his back & looks over at him, "Are you alright Uncle Ken?"
He gets up on his knees & sits down on his feet.
He trembles as he looks from Ayame to his hands & sharp claws, "What have I become...?"
Ayame blinks, "Didn't that bad man say something about a demon?"
He slowly nods & sighs, "Unfortunately, he did. Demons aren't exactly loved by everyone to say the least, though, neither was the batousai..."
Ayame & her sister both hug him tightly.
Ayame looks up at him, smiling, "We still love you even after you became a demon & killed that man."
Suzumi nods, "Yeah Uncle Ken! You were really scary, but I still loved you anyway!"
Kenshin had smiled at Ayame's comment, but his smile seemed to falter slightly at Suzumi's.
He returns the hug, "Thanks for still accepting me after all I've done."
He glances back at Yahiko, "We need to get him back, he's been hurt very badly, that he has."
He stands up, walks over to Yahiko, and picks him up in both arms with the utmost carefulness. The three of them walk back along the road & Kenshin bows his head everytime someone would pass by.
Ayame & Suzumi stayed close to him, hoping that maybe people wouldn't be as afraid of Kenshin if he had two children clinging to him.
Kenshin walks silently, trying to get used to his heightened senses. He could smell Yahiko's blood seeping from his wounds & hear his heartbeat, even without lowering his head down & putting an ear to his chest. This proved to be a valuable gift since he would immediately know if Yahiko stopped breathing, or in rarer cases, if his heart stopped beating.
Kenshin smiles gently as he looks down upon Yahiko's face, ~Yahiko saved us, that he did. But I can't help wondering how he found us, and with good timing at that.~
Suzumi looks up at Kenshin, "Is Yahiko going to be alright Uncle Ken?"
Kenshin looks down at her, still smiling, "If we get him back home quickly, then he should be fine I think."
"Then let's go!" she shouts, running along the path.
Ayame & Kenshin take off after her, "Wait up Suzumi!"

K.K.: "Told ya this fanfic was pretty stupid, or at least I think so. But I can just imagine what Kenshin would look like as a fox demon!" *huggles her Hiei, Youkai Kurama, and now Youkai Kenshin plushie* "Whee!" ^o^
Kurama & Hiei: "Stupid obsessive writers & their 'huggle plushie syndrome'..."
Kenshin: "Heheh... weird. Talking plushies!" ^_^*
Kurama & Hiei: *glance at Kenshin* ¬_¬* "Moron..."
Hiei: "Stupid obsessive writer..."
K.K.: *begins knawing on Hiei's arm like one of Kat's rabid bunnies (with French Onions)* ((I would like to thank my friend Kat for this rabid bunnies with french onions idea.))
Hiei: X.x*
Kurama & Kenshin: O.O* "Rabid writer chick! Run away!" *they run as fast as their little plushie legs will carry them*
