Chapter 4- A Visitor
Late evening found Tokyo quiet. A lone figure ascended from the depths of the markets and stores, footsteps tapping softly along on the dirt road. It was dark, making the person's appearance difficult to see. She reached into her dark gi and pulled out something, a piece of paper.
Her dark eyes narrowed briefly, studying the writing on it. "Hn." She was going in the right direction after all.
Meanwhile, Sanosuke was sitting outside in the dojo garden, nibbling at his fishbone as always. He gazed up at the crescent moon, a thoughtful look on his face. Night was the time to actually think about things anyway.
He scowled irritably. "Damn you Kenshin." Reaching down, he picked up a small stone and crushed it in his fist. "That's what I'm gonna do to you whenever I find you!"
When he had found out about Kenshin's leaving, he was infuriated. He had told the rurouni specifically to not go anywhere without checking in with him first. Sanosuke growled in his throat. "That moron! He's always got to do things the hard way!"
Just then, something caught his attention. Sanosuke shifted his gaze towards the back gate. "Huh? Did I just hear something?"
There, it came again. They were footsteps, soft and light in the grass. The street fighter jumped to his feet and headed towards the entranceway. All the while, he readied a fist to strike, just in case it was an unwelcome guest. The experience with Saitoh had made him wary.
The door was pushed open, causing a loud creak. That door still needed to be fixed. Sanosuke paused, his eyes bugging out of his head. "It couldn't be."
Kaoru and Yahiko emerged from their rooms and rounded the bend to the garden. "Sano! What is it?" they began, but paused. They saw Sanosuke standing there in the moonlight, face-to-face with..Kenshin??
