Part #2 of:: TA-DAH!!! The Author decided to give this... this... uh...well anyway, its now called... *drum roll*
THE SAMURAI, THE DEMON, AND THE RUFFIAN
AND SO on to part #2
Ryoko: so you are going to tell me NOW what is the real reason came here.
Kenshin: nothing can escape you, Ryoko. Oh, awright. I'll tell you. Two months ago, a bounty hunter by the name of Sanga, came into our village and easily defeated my apprentice and friend Maki and Kaoru.
Sanosuke: not just that, but also after defeating them he knocked them around for a bit, and... well he asked many interesting questions. Kaoru refused to say anything, and he tortured her.
Ryoko: what damage...?
Kenshin: lets just say that she won't be able to teach for a while.
Sanosuke: the more important thing is what are some things he got out of Kaoru.
Ryoko: *tenses up* what kind of questions?
Kenshin: he asked about me, my past, and Sano and his past. The much, much more interesting part was that he mentioned of all people, YOU.
Ryoko: *suspiciously* so...? What does this have to do with me?
Sanosuke: well, *scratches the back of his head* he asked YOUR whereabouts, and about YOUR past also...
Kenshin: Ryoko...
Ryoko: *turns away from them* I told you. I've got a bounty on my head. So it doesn't seem all that strange to me. Besides, you are my old buddies and many people know that. This incident was of a bounty hunter trying to get information about me from my old allies.
Kenshin: that's not all. Maki was given a warning. *Ryoko perks up* something about that if he had trouble finding you, he'd be back.
Ryoko: ...
Sanosuke: so now it all makes sense.
Ryoko: *angrily* did you get a name?
Kenshin: *hangs his head* no. I told you that we weren't there.
Ryoko: and you two idiots happily bounded over here to find me. Right?
Sanosuke: jeez, you didn't have to be so hard...
Ryoko: don't you morons realize that you left Maki UNPROTECTED?!?!?!?
Kenshin: hey, don't forget Kaoru...
Sanosuke: now you worry?
Ryoko: don't you understand that the bounty hunter might have followed you here? I mean I don't care about myself, I'll take him on anyway, but he's got you in a corner now. Bounty hunters tend to play dirty, you know. He's got you by your weakness.
Sanosuke: well I've never thought of it that way...
Ryoko: GAH! You two are complete infidels!!! Now Maki is completely unprotected and you are vulnerable to BLACKMAIL AND MANIPULATON!!!
Kenshin: hey, aren't you in the same situation?? And what about Kaoru?
Ryoko: *hits him on the head* no I'm not. And I could care less about Kaoru.
Sanosuke: hey, now guys... let back up a second. Ryoko, may I ask a personal question?
Ryoko: I don't see why not. Even if I said no, then you'd still ask me. Lay it on me.
Sanosuke: ^_^' why do you have a bounty on your head???
Ryoko tenses up and folds her arms against her chest.
Ryoko: Sano. You know how I hate talking about the past, right? Well, sorry to break it to you, but this falls into the category of my past, you know?
Sanosuke: *eyes glittering* SHE CALLED ME SANO!!!!!
Kenshin: all the same, Ryoko... we're dying to know.
Ryoko: Kenshin? Wow, I'm surprised that you don't know...
Sanosuke: *in a total daydream* SHE CALLED ME SANO!!!!!
Ryoko: *sighs* well, awright. But if you get killed for knowing the truth, it isn't going to be my fault.
*Sanosuke snaps out of his daydream to listen*
Ryoko: many years ago, I was a bloodthirsty and arrogant young demon. It was just about the time you were Battosai the Manslayer, Kenshin. I killed many men. I believed that I was completely invincible, which was partially true. No human could lay a hand on me, once I started fighting. So out came the WANTED posters, and a huge reward was placed on my pretty little head. The problem was, no one could ever get close enough to even touch me. So after a while, I started to get cocky. Time passed, and I went and found my half-human brother. Although he isn't as strong as I am, he is strong enough to defend himself. I admit, he is my weakness. Because of him, I was put into a situation similar to the one today. A traitor captured my little brother, and demanded that I give up. If this had happened a little while before, I would have killed them both. But, although I'm ashamed to admit it, I grew fond of the little kid. So I, for the first time in my life gave myself up, to save him. But of course, I was tricked. As soon as I let the traitor take me, he ordered his hidden men to kill my brother. To say the least, I murdered as many men that night, as I slayed my entire life. After that, I became known as the Fire Demon Beast, and my brother and I chose to live apart. You see that is why I don't do bounty hunters.
Sanosuke: ...
Kenshin: I never knew...
Sanosuke: *with an innocent kid look* *raises his hand* um, Ryoko, who was the traitor?
Ryoko: he was a demon. One that I knew long ago... we used to be allies.
Kenshin: so naturally he knew all about you.
Ryoko: yes. And demons aren't supposed to go against each other to give themselves up to humans.
Sanosuke: so what happened to your brother? Is he alive?
Ryoko: I think it is best if I didn't know.
End of Episode #2
::cheap credits, but a nice ending theme::
Sanosuke: Ah, the end. Now time for Sanosuke's summary of the day. Today, Ryoko called me Sano, again...*sighs dreamily* Oh yeah. And by the way the author gave the story a name. Wow. What a surprise. I'm going to see if I can find my sweetie. Kenshin, take over.
Kenshin: Hi there, my name is Kenshin; I was Battosai the Manslayer right about the time of Ryoko's crazy days. I like tofu, ramen noodles, hot baths in hot springs, and watching the moon at night...
Ryoko: Kenshin! Cut the crap, will you? Its all nice and all, but the people want to hear about the next episode, ya know? Jeez, I gotta start doing these myself. *leaves*
Kenshin: OK, ok... so in the next episode Ryoko tells us who her brother is and *starts whispering* I'm not supposed to tell you this, but Sano sneaks into the bathroom while Ryoko bathes, and he gets his head blown off. *looks around nervously* heh-heh... *Ryoko's voice screaming* EEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! SANOSUKE!!!!!!!!!!! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!
Kenshin: heheh. I told you.
