A/N - Okay, just so's you all know, my version of the Kyoto Arc with Jiani
is quite different from what really happened. So, don't ream me about it in
the reviews. In other words, no flames
CHAPTER 3- PURPLE EYES
A short time later, Sanosuke found Kaoru and Yahiko taking up residence with a group of ninjas who were preparing to combat the Juppon Gatana. The Oniwabanshuu was an incredibly talented and skilled group, led by a 16-year- old girl named Misao.
But then, Kenshin showed up, having returned from training with his old master Hiko Seijuro. Everyone was ecstatic to see him, especially Kaoru. But no one mentioned Jiani. Sanosuke had been the one to say that she would confront Kenshin alone and without his knowledge of her being there. And so, the plan to fight Shishio came into discussion.
Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Saitoh would head for the headquarters of the Juppon Gatana, a place on Mount Hiei, Rokutsurane Torii Hokora and face the warriors there. Meanwhile, the others- Kaoru, Yahiko, and the Oniwabanshuu- would stay and defend the Aioya from any trouble. Kenshin had even asked his master to come help them, though it was uncertain if he really would.
The morning of the fight came. Kenshin, Saitoh, and Sanosuke left to face Shishio and his men.
Sanosuke trailed a short distance behind his two comrades, being unusually silent. Kenshin noticed he hadn't said anything for a long while and peered over his shoulder at him. "Sano? Is anything the matter?"
"Shut up, Himura, don't get him started." Saitoh spat. He had been enjoying the silence.
"Eh? Oh nothing, nothing at all." Sanosuke replied quickly.
Kenshin blinked before turning back around to focus on the trail ahead of them. Sanosuke felt uneasy for some reason, rather than excited about the impending battle. His thoughts raced back towards Jiani. It was strange that they hadn't seen each other yet.
He shrugged. Perhaps she planned to meet up with them at the headquarters.
The showdown began.
