Chapter 20
Midori nervously stared at Hoshi and Kubo grinning, Kaoru and Yahiko were already running at them, Midori snapped out of her stare , and she ran over to Hoshi and Kubo.
"You two take on Kubo, I'll get Hoshi." Midori said, looking serious.
"But.." Kaoru said, seeming a little worried.
"You guys have already helped me out to much, and I don't wanna put you guys through anymore danger than you're already in." Midori said as she held her sword up against Hoshi's.
"Do you really think a person with as little skill as you could defeat me?" Hoshi said smirking madly as she pushed her sword at Midori's making her stumble backward. Midori looked very angry, and charged at Hoshi, seeming very mad.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenshin stopped walking and turned around with a look of worry in his violet eyes. He was wondering how Yahiko, Midori and Kaoru were doing, he was even a little worried about them, especially Kaoru.
"Oi Kenshin what's wrong?" Sanosuke asked stopping and turning towards Kenshin.
"Well I'm just a little worried about everyone else, de gozaru." Kenshin said looking up at Sanosuke.
"I'm sure they can handle it Kenshin." Sanosuke said Kenshin nodded, but he still looked a little upset.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yahiko and Kaoru only had a few burses and minor cuts from fighting, but they had been fighting for quite a while, so they were all quite tired.
On the other hand, Midori was being quite viscous, this surprised Hoshi, due to her surprise, and she lost concentration, causing her to get a large cut on her arm from Midori
"Damn it!" Hoshi said, looking shocked, and quite angry as she held the wound on her arm. The beat up Midori was breathing hard. "Well that took a lot of effort." Midori thought.
"Are you alright?" Kubo asked seriously while fending off Yahiko and Kaoru.
"Yeah." Hoshi said, resuming her fight with Midori. Hoshi charged at Midori, giving her a rather large wound at her side.
Midori looked down at her side a grasped it, it hurt and was quite deep. She took a deep breath and charged at Hoshi again. Yahiko and Kaoru seemed to be all right, but they were both tired from fighting.
Midori ran swiftly behind Hoshi and she ran up the staircase as she possibly could, she jumped at Hoshi with full force, delivering a blow to Hoshi's back with the blunt side of her sword. Hoshi's eyes widened in shock. "This girl is stronger than I assumed she was..." Hoshi thought as fell to the ground. Hoshi looked up at the ceiling, and everything seemed to spin and swirl a bit. She heard Kubo call out her name.. Her eyes closed, and everything around her seemed to fade away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshiro yawned and sat down, resting his sword down by his side, he had heard Hoshi and Kubo fighting, he had just been on the lower floor a few minutes ago, although he was in a different room at the time. He looked around, his black bangs in front of his eyes. "They should be here soon...the others, they should be easy...unless batousoui is with them." He thought as he groaned. He turned his head he thought he had heard footsteps. He looked up to see a short man with flaming red hair, and a tall man with spiky brown hair, and neither of them looked very happy.
Sesshiro stood up and smirked, he looked like he was ready to fight.
"Kenshin. You go ahead, I'll deal with this guy." Sanosuke said looking over at Kenshin.
"But Sano....last time you couldn't beat him." Kenshin said sounding concerned.
"I'll be alright." Sanosuke said looking over at Sesshiro. "Just make sure you don't get beat up." He said looking down at Kenshin.
"Sano..." Kenshin said quietly.
"Go Kenshin!" Sanosuke said urgently.
"Hai." Kenshin said seriously as he swiftly ran past Sesshiro. Sanosuke looked over at Kenshin running away, hopping he would be alright.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kubo ran over to Hoshi, he shook her and called out her name, Hoshi slowly opened her eyes and said. "I'm okay." Midori, Kaoru and Yahiko carefully crept away as they talked for a while. Hoshi saw them, and she told the rather beat-up Kubo, and he said neither of them were in very good condition, and that they wouldn't be able to get past Sesshiro anyhow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Midori stumbled after they got through the door at the top of the staircase.
"Midori, are you okay?" Kaoru asked , seemingly concerned. Midori simply revealed her wound to them, and they both looked a little shocked and worried.
"I'll be okay for now." Midori said as she pushed her self back up, as she grasped her side again.
"Maitte Midori!" Kaoru said as she ripped some cloth off her sleeve, so Midori could cover up her wound. She handed it to the slightly surprised looking Midori.
"Arigatou, Kaoru-san." Midori said smiling weakly. Kaoru nodded, as Yahiko yelled at them saying they needed to hurry up. They nodded and continued on,.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So I'll be fighting you again?" Sesshiro asked as his eyes narrowed.
"Yeah, I guess so." Sanosuke said, almost grinning at the man. Sesshiro smirked and charged at him, starting a battle that would last quite a while.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Midori, Yahiko and Kaoru caught sight of two figures fighting in the distance...it was Sesshiro and Sanosuke.
"Sesshiro...maitte...didn't he beat Sano-san last time? He did! I hope Sano- san will be alright." Midori thought as her slivery-green eyes glanced over at the man with the white gi-like outfit and brown hair. She sighed, and looked over to Kaoru, who also looked worried. "Are you worried about Kenshin, Kaoru?" She asked.
"Yeah...I don't even know where he is, I really hope he'll be alright." Kaoru said looking down at the ground as she bit her lip.
"He will." Midori said trying to cheer her up at bit.
"Yeah, I hope so." Kaoru said looking off. "I can't imagine losing him... he'll be alright...he just has to be." She thought, sniffling a little. Midori looked at her, she knew how she felt, and she just hoped she could help Sanosuke if her got hurt, even being in the bad condition she was in. Yahiko, Kaoru and Midori looked over to what was going to be a long battle.
Notes: I'VE FINALLY WRITTEN CHAPTER 20! It's been like a month or so since I've written the last one, oh well. I have been busy. So yah, please review. I should have made a little shounen-ai moment with Sano and Kenshin in this chappie, Kaoru and Midori would have been pissed, hahahaha! ::Ahem:: Do review, constructive critism is welcome!
