Title: The Revolving Door
Authors: originally my friend who wishes to remain nameless (who btw writes all this great stuff), and me; the amazingly sexy stina-chan *grinz* (the lowly beta-er)
Rating: R for some er stuff....
Disclaimer: We in no way claim to own Rurouni Kenshin, please don't hurt us *covers head with hands then looks up warily* *grinz* also I don't own Shell, Inu Yasha, Dragon ball Z, Trigun, or Final Fantasy 7...well I do own the FF7 game but I think that's not quite the same is it? *shrug*
~C-O-U-R-A-G-E~
"Sanosuke, did you find anything at the Akabeko?" Kenshin asked.
"No, no one there has heard of him, knows anyone by his description, or knows how he got on the roof." Sano collapsed on a nearby pillow with a sigh, "It's as if he appeared out of thin air..."
Kaoru looked at Kenshin thoughtfully for a moment before starting in her usually bossy tone, "We shouldn't give up just yet. Sano, tomorrow afternoon I want you to go to peoples houses, and ask around some more."
"What do you mean, some more? We've asked around everywhere, no one even knows someone who looks like him! Let alone knows who he is."
Kaoru's right eyebrow twitched involuntarily. "You aren't telling me you're not going to go look are you?" She secretly grabbed the hilt of her wooden sword.
"What if I am?" He replied.
"Sano, don't you think you're being a little silly? It's just a little walk!" Kenshin said in a laughing tone, his hand plastered to the back of his head.
His advice came a little too late... Several thunks were then heard. Sanosuke frowned rubbing his orange sized bump.
"I'd think you would have learned by now Sano." Kenshin gave him a big goofy grin.
"I'm going to go check on our guest." Sanosuke walked off mumbling.
"I'll go retrieve Ms. Megumi." Kaoru left, leaving Kenshin alone. Looking around he said to himself, "Maybe I'll go take a bath..." He then trotted off.
Sanosuke slowly slid the door to Yahiko's room open. He didn't want to wake them. Well more honestly, he wanted to wake Yahiko in an extremely rude fashion, but the boy named Vincent was still there and still very much injured. Sanosuke peered in cautiously. 'Everything looks normal. They're both sleeping peacefully.' He thought. As he was about to leave, he noticed something a bit odd about their sleeping position.
Yahiko was asleep on his pillow, ...with Vincent's head resting on his chest. Yahiko's hand was tangled in Vincent's short brown hair.
'Is this for real!?' He almost laughed out loud. 'I never thought Yahiko was gay. He was ogling all over Tsubame.' Sanosuke had a large grin on his face. He slowly slid the door back into its original position. Leaving them unnoticed.
Yahiko slowly opened his eyes. He looked down and saw Vincent resting peacefully on his chest. Smiling for a moment, his eyes traced the thin slightly muscular chest wrapped in bandages. He followed the muscle lines to Vincent's arm. The small muscles made Vincent look weak. Suddenly Yahiko's eyes stopped in horror. On Vincent's right shoulder was a thick scar that traveled down the back of his arm and ended at his wrist. Yahiko looked on with shock and pity. No one should ever have a scar that large. The scar itself was barely visible from the front but as it traveled down the back of his arm it became very thick. Maybe 2 inches tops. The scar tissue had grown back noticeably sunken making it into a sort of trench in Vincent's arm.
Slightly worried Yahiko gently pulled the blanket off of Vincent. He then slowly undid the bandages covering Vincent's waist. Luckily the wounds had scabbed over. But as he examined the boys' stomach, he came across yet another scar. Not as big as the first, but it would kill anyone who was inflicted such a wound. The scar slithered its way from the upper left abs of his stomach, to his lower right pelvis. This one was also significantly thinner.
Yahiko was stunned. He had never encountered such a thing on anyone. Kenshin had a scar on his cheek but this made that seem like a scratch. He pulled the covers back over Vincent. He brought his other arm over the other boy's chest. Yahiko held the other boy close to him almost instinctively, feeling sadness and pity for whatever the other boy had gone through to deserve these.
'Well, maybe he got these from some previous accident?' Yahiko tried to cheer himself up. 'Yeah I bet that's it, he fell off of something.' He lied to himself; he knew very well these wounds would be very difficult to get by any accidental means. No matter what he told himself he still held Vincent close to him. Trying hard not to hurt him.

~~*End Intermission*~~
Sanosuke walked into the padded dojo area of the Kamiya dojo. He still had a big grin plastered onto his face. Sitting down he watched Kaoru swinging her bokken furiously.
"Tense?" Sanosuke asked slyly.
"Yes, neither Kenshin, that devil women or I could find anyone who knows Vincent."
Sanosuke grinned. "Remember when I said that you wouldn't find anyone who knew him?"
Kaoru started to swing harder. "Remember when I told you to take the other part of the city? Did you!?"
Sanosuke's grin left. "No, I already knew I wouldn't find anything."
Kaoru was on him in an instant, attacking him with her bokken like a madwoman. "THATS NOT THE POINT!! WHEN A PRETTY LADY SUCH AS I TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING, YOU DO IT! UNDERSTAND!?" She continued to make his head flatter. She stopped after about 31 strikes.
Sanosuke grumbling, rubbing his forehead. 'Man, what a bitch...'
Kaoru sat down next to Sanosuke. "I just don't know what to do. He comes from no where, doesn't speak Japanese, and he's hurt!" Kaoru's eyes lit up. "Hey! Maybe he'd like to become my second student! I've had Yahiko for 4 years, maybe it's time to get myself another pupil! I mean, who doesn't want to learn Kamiya Kashim style?"
"Me." Sanosuke mumbled under his breath. Unfortunately Kaoru heard it. She looked at him with flames in her eyes. "YOU DON'T COUNT!"
"Say where is Kenshin?" Sanosuke asked.
"I believe he is still looking for anyone who might know our guest." Just as Kaoru finished that sentence an orange haired man wearing a purple kimono walked into the dojo looking somewhat unhappy.
"No luck?" Sanosuke stood up.
"No, maybe he's an orphan who snuck onto a ship, then bumped his head. That story about the future was quite convincing though, that it was." Kenshin said with a perky tone.
"I believe him," Sanosuke stated, "did either of you notice what he was wearing?"
"Come to think of it no, I was too busy worrying about his wounds to notice his clothing." Kaoru scratched her head.
"I did." Sanosuke held up a clean shirt, not only was the cloth extremely comfortable, but also the seams were hard to find and well placed. There seemed to be no errors in the construction of the shirt. The dye, which happened to be dark blue, had no discolorations, and there were black letters sewn into the front, C-O-U-R-A-G-E.
"I washed that the other day." Kenshin said.
"I've never seen or felt anything this soft or perfectly made. And god knows what this lettering is." Sanosuke stated, "And look at this." Sanosuke held up a small leather contraption, two straps and a large round glass-flattened circle in the middle.
"What is it?" Kaoru grabbed it and inspected it in her hand.
"I have no idea, I took it off of his wrist."
"That wasn't very nice!" Kenshin gave Sanosuke his you-did-a-bad-thing look.
"There are little lights on the inside moving, changing, and blinking. Look at this Kenshin its quite amazing!" Kaoru grabbed Kenshin forcefully.
"And these." Sanosuke held up a pair of shoes. Not sandals, but shoes. They were white with dark stripes on then. The word R-E-E-B-O-K was also sewn into them.
"Their soft and made out of what I think is leather. I've never even heard of these!" Kaoru left Kenshin to the leather wrist item while she inspected Vincent's footwear.
"Maybe he really is from the future..." Kaoru muttered.
"Then why did he agree with Ms. Megumi earlier?" Sanosuke stated suspiciously.
"Think about it, Sanosuke. You wake up in a place you don't recognize, you are hurt, and don't know what has happened to you. You tell your side of the story, and are surrounded by things that prove you wrong. If I was that boy I would have agreed with Ms. Megumi too." Kenshin tried to explain.
"Nice to know Sir Ken agrees with me!" Ms Megumi said as she cheerfully came into the dojo.
'Oh-no, why now?' Kaoru mocked her, in her head.
