Midori looked around at everyone sleeping peacefully. "They defeated Hoshi
and Kubo, but what about the others? They'll come. I know Kenshin is the
former battousai, but I fear I'll put these people in danger," she thought.
"I feel so guilty, but I do need help." She sighed and got up out of her
futon. "Well, I could just leave, but then my clan would probably die out.
But I can't let them get hurt. So. My clan or my friends?" She shook off
the thought and went to make breakfast, just to help out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshiro walked down the streets of Tokyo, looking rather menacing. He even frightened some of the citizens. He was quite tall and muscular, and he had a very piercing stare. He looked down and read the piece of paper with directions and notes from Hoshi and Kubo. "So, Midori has friends. Well, I'll try to get here while she's alone," he thought as he continued on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone woke up to the smells of food.
"Is it ready yet?" Yahiko asked sleepily. "I'm hungry."
"Well, why don't you come help me if you're so hungry?" Midori asked, getting irritated. "Hmm. I need some help." She grabbed the back of his shirt while he yelled at her. She pretty much demanded that he work, and they just ended up fighting. Kenshin stepped in soon and finished cooking breakfast, leaving Yahiko and Midori rather surprised. After they had breakfast, Midori went for a walk. She was going to the nearby shrine; it didn't take her very long to get there.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sesshiro sat down at a small ramen restaurant. "Some ramen with chicken, please," Sesshiro said rather flatly.
"Hai!" the waiter answered, looking rather nervous. Everyone else seemed to be a little nervous, too.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Midori closed her eyes and silently asked for protection for her new friends. She opened her eyes and looked to the side of her, only to see Sanosuke. "Now Why is he here?" Midori thought, looking at him quizzically. She listened to what he was saying; it was something to do with better luck with gambling. She laughed a little, she found this rather amusing.
"That's on add thing to ask for," Midori said once he was done.
"Well, I really need better luck," he said defensively.
"That's just like you," she said, smirking.
"Oi! That's not very nice!" Sano said, sounding irritated. Midori looked at the fishing pole on his back.
"What's that for?" she asked, squinting at the pole.
"I'm going fishing. I need something to eat for dinner," he said, looking at the squinting girl.
"Oh," she said, She really didn't have much else to do. So she decided just to follow him, anwyas, she liked to be around him as much as possible.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshiro got up and left the ramen restaurant and walked off to the Kamiya dojo, looking all formidable to the people walking on the streets of Tokyo. When he arrived at the dojo, he only saw a girl fighting with a younger boy, and a man with an X-shaped scar on his cheek. That little man was the former battousai? The man looked at Sesshiro peeking through the gate as he swiftly moved.
"What's wrong, Kenshin?" Kaoru asked, looking over at Kenshin who was still staring at the gate seriously.
"There may be someone near. We should be careful, de gozaru," Kenshin said to the surprised-looking Yahiko and Kaoru.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Midori looked over at Sano and blushed a bit. "Damn it, Midori! You're acting like such a baka!" She thought. She was too shy to say anything to Sano, so she just kind of sat there and watched him while he was fishing. But, a bit later, she finally found something to say.
"Sano-san, why don't you bring the fish over to Kaoru's? I'll cook them," Midori said, with a yawn.
"Well, I haven't caught that many, so I don't think they will be enough," He said, looking over at Midori, he then grinned and said;"Especially with how much you guys eat."
"HEY!" Midori yelled, shooting a fierce look at him. Sano smirked, she was such a spazy kid sometimes.
"Anyhow, how are you gonna cook them?" Midori asked.
"Well, I uh." Sano stumbled for words.
"Well, I guess you'll have to share them," Midori said, smiling, seeming proud of her self, so she marched off to the road, walking back towards the dojo.
He sighed and followed her, first collecting his fishing pole and fish. "Looks like it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshiro slumped down against the nearby wall and sighed. "Did Hoshi and Kubo give me the wrong directions? They are bakas, but did they give me the wrong directions?" he thought to himself. He drew his sword half-way out of his sheath, letting it gleam in the sun a bit, but he swiftly put it back in. He looked up to see a girl with purple hair. She was standing next to a rather tall, strong-looking man in a white and black outfit. "That's Midori, isn't it? It is. I suppose that's her friend." he thought, frowning, as he looked at Sano. "Well, I can surely beat that guy anyhow," he thought as he carefully snuck around in the shadows so that they wouldn't expect him.
Sesshiro swiftly moved behind Midori and drew he sword. He placed the tip gently against her back so that it did not stab her but just touched her lightly. Midori gasped a little and swiftly backed away from him before he could move his sword.
"What are you doing?!" she yelled. He moved near her, but she kept her distance from him.
"The scripture, of course. So why don't you just give it up so that we don't have to fight?" Sesshiro said coolly, as his eyes narrowed.
"Don't think so!" she yelled angrily.
"Well, looks like we'll have to fight, then," he said, turning to Sano. "I'm fighting you, right?
Midori looked a little fed up and fairly angry. "Hey, what about me?"She yellled.
Sesshiro walked over to her and threw her against the wall, wchich made her unable to fight.
Sanosuke looked over at Midori, seeming a little worried, he then punched Sesshiro, but it didn't seem to affect him much. "Yes, we are fighting," he said, looking somewhat mad.
"Well, alright then," Sesshiro said. At this, Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko came running out to see what was going on, only to see Midori unable to stand up for the moment and they rushed over to her, only to see Sanosuke fighting with a rather strong looking man.
"Midori, are you alright?" Kenshin asked, beding down next her.
"Yeah, I'm okay," she said, trying to get up. "Man, what a jerk that guy is! Now I can't even fight," Midori thought. Then she looked up to see the very swift man slash Sano's side, him stumbling back a bit and then Sesshito hitting him in the back of the neck, knocking him out. This caused everyone to be in shock, and they were surprised that Sano was beaten to easily.
"Sano-san!" Midori said, sounding very upset, almost yelling, as she and Kenshin-gumi went towards him. Sesshiro walked behind Kenshin.
"Now it's me and you, battousai!" Sesshiro said, smirking.
