The Journey Begins
"It doesn't look to good Yahiko," Megumi told him as she squeezed the warm water from the cloth that was on Kaoru's head. She was still unconscious from the poison and breathing in gasps. The only thing that was worse were lite moans of pain and her gripping hard onto Megumi's hand when she grabbed it.
"What's going on now?" Yahiko saw Kaoru's face it was full of pain and sweat. She would grip anything she could hold onto and she would moan names and other things once in a while. "She's in so much pain." For once, Yahiko showed his emotion for Kaoru on his face. He cared about her and hated seeing her like this. She was the one who got him out of that stupid pick-pocketing job and took him into her dojo and began teaching him swordsmanship. With some of Kenshin's help too.
"It's not going to get any better for her. That poison is paralyzing her internal organs one by one. She's in so much pain its hard to believe. This young girl, she doesn't... deserve this." Megumi felt the tears flow. Even though she had always tormented Kaoru, she was a friend that helped her out of the opium making situation. Also with some of Kenshin's help.
"Yahiko, will you change the water please, its gotten too warm." Megumi handed the small bucket to him and placed a hand on Kaoru's forehead. 'Please, Sir Ken, Sanosuke, hurry up and bring back that cure.'
Yahiko walked out of the dojo and to the well. He poured out the water and dropped the bucket into the well. He refilled the water and looked up into the sky. "Hurry Kenshin and Sanosuke."
Kaoru stopped her gasps and moans and opened her eyes half way.
Megumi grabbed Kaoru's hand and looked at her. She could feel Kaoru gripping her hand little by little. "Kaoru, Kaoru, are you okay?" Kaoru didn't look at her. She seemed to be in a trance and only stared upward. "Ka... Kaoru?"
Kaoru gripped Megumi's hand really tight and whispered in a gasp, "Kenshin..." She then closed her eyes and her condition came back.
Yahiko walked in on this. He saw the way Megumi rubbed Kaoru's hand to her cheek and she cried. And for once, Yahiko cried for her too.
~*~
Kenshin looked up into the sky and stared. Soon an image of Kaoru appeared, she was smiling and happy, not in pain and hurt. Her soothing voice ran around in his head, her saying his name, "Kenshin, Kenshin, Kenshin..."
"Kenshin? Kenshin? KENSHIN?!" Sanosuke got annoyed, he then hit Kenshin on top of his head to wake him up.
"Ooooorooooo!" Kenshin moaned as he rubbed the large bump on the top of his head. "Sano? What was that for?" Kenshin asked as the bump grew in size.
"You were staring blankly up at the sky when we're suppose to be walking to Kyoto to save Missy." Sanosuke yelled at him.
Kenshin narrowed his eyes, "You're right Sano. Even though I'm thinking about Kaoru, I should be thinking more about saving her." Kenshin grabbed his small sack of things and tossed it over his shoulder.
"C'mon, It's already been 5 days and we're alomost to Kyoto. If we keep up this pace then we'll be able to get back in time to save Missy." Sano explained.
"No, we can't calculate the time, we have to go up agaisnt apponents that Hakaisha might put against us. We never might know when a new apponent is ready for us." Kenshin told Sano as he felt a presence approaching.
"I think we might have company," Sanosuke told Kenshin who already was walking towards the men who were approaching.
After a little while of walking the men came face to face with Kenshin and Sanosuke. The men unsheathed their swords and held them infront of them.
One of the men who seemed to be the leader yelled, "We are loyal men of Lord Hakaisha, now we take your lives! Charge!" He yelled to his men and they all ran towards the two.
Sanosuke cracked his knuckles, "I think this would be a good time to practice my Futaenokiwami." He smirked and looked at Kenshin. He mearly nodded and unsheathed his sword.
Sanosuke took on the ones attacking closer to him. They were 3rd rate swordsmen. Not as good as Kenshin. They were fast but not too good with a sword. Sanosuke had no trouble with them. He didn't even need to use his Futaenokiwami but he felt like it anyway. When Sano was through, the ones left for Kenshin shook in fear as their comrades fell.
The leader was also frightened but was determined to carry out his Lords orders. "Now men, attack the one with the cross shaped scar!" The men regained their courage and charged.
Kenshin jumped high into the air and decided to use his Ryu Sien on all of them. "Hiten Mitsuruge style, Ryu Sien!" With his one attack he took care off all the remaining men. He landed and sheathed his sword. "This was too easy, Hakaisha didn't want these men to attack us. They are way weak to kill us. They must be here for another reason."
"Well, only one way to find out." Sanosuke walked over the pile of men he had beaten and picked up one that seemed to be conscious enough to speak.
"Please, no more. Lemme go!" He screamed as Sanosuke picked him up by the throat.
"Now, what was Hakaisha's real use for you guys?" Sano asked the guy squirming around in his grasp.
"I won't tell you!" He struggled to get free from his strong grip.
Sanosuke smirked over to Kenshin and Kenshin gave him an embarrased smile. "Go ahead Sano." Kenshin said as he rubbed the bump on the top of his head.
"Alright!" Sano looked at the squirming man in his grasp and raised his right fist. "I know you already had a taste of my Futaenokiwami, but I was holding back a little. I can show you the real power of it if you refuse to answer again." Sanosuke slamed his fist into a tree besides him and the tree fell to dust. The man yelled and tried to get away. "Now I'll ask you again!" He brought his fist back again. "What was Hakaisha's real plan?!"
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you. Lord Hakaisha wanted us to find out your wearabouts and strenghts. He said that we should attack you and find out what you could do. And when we were beaten then we could report it back to him." The man used his hands to cover his face from an attack.
"So that's what that bastard wanted to do." Sanosuke brought his fist to his face and hit him anyway, but he didn't use the Futaenokiwami. Sanosuke dropped him a told him. "Go to your 'Lord' that we can take anything he throws at us!" Sanosuke kicked him away and the man with a couple of other moble ones ran away.
Sanosuke smirked at Kenshin but Kenshin's face was serious. "Wha? What did I do?" he asked.
Kenshin sighed and walked up to him, "Sano, didn't you hear what Hakaisha's plan was?"
Sano looked at him and thought back, "Um, yeah, so?"
He sighed again and told him, "He wanted to see what are moves were so he could study them and locate us. You just let them get away with all that information to report back to him."
Sano fell, he just noticed that he did something completely stupid and was acting all mighty not knowing it. He got up and rubbed the back of his head, "I'm sorry Kenshin, it slipped my mind. You want me to go get them?"
"No, it's fine, all they saw was one attack from both of us. If Hakaisha does study are moves then that all he'll get and when we fight him he'll only know how to block that attack. As for our location, we're just going to have to stay off the path for and while and stay in the forest so we wont be spotted." Kenshin explained.
"Well that's easy enough, and plus, I doubt he'll find anything on the Futaenokiwami because Anji is the only one who mastered it and he's stopped destroying."
"That's true, but for me, if he finds out some of the secrets of Battoujutsu (sp?) then I might have a harder time. And if the time calls for it, I'll use to Amakaeru Ryu No Hitomeki (sp?)."
"Not even Shishio could defeat that." Sanosuke patted Kenshin's back. "Well, lets get going, we better get moving. If we keep up the pace then we might make it to the Aoiya by tomorrow night." Their plan was to go to the Aoiya and get shelter and maybe get help from the Kyoto Oniwaban group. Plus they get to see Misao and Aoshi again.
"Remember Hakaisha can attack at anytime."
"Stop worrying about it, lets just concentrate on getting to Kyoto so we can beat him and save Missy."
"You're right"
^.~
Meanwhile the men who attack Kenshin and Sano were back at their camp reporting to their general of the news about fight. The general ran into a fort and started writing the infromation to Hakaisha. Once he finished he sent it on messenger pigeon.
^.~
After a few hours a bird landed on a window of a temple. A man opened the window and removed the letter from his leg.
"So I have a report on the Batousai." Hakaisha opened to letter and began to read. Once he finished the letter he smirked and walked back to his chair.
"So he only used his Ryu Sien, his favorite attack. I need more information than that. I know a lot about his Battoujutsu. I need to find out more about his Hiten Mitsuruge style." Hakaisha looked back at the letter and stared at the other attack from a different man with the Battousai. "Futeanokiwami huh, just another loser attack from a loser.
^.~
"Haachewww!" Sanosuke sneezed. "Must be the trees."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thats it. I know, it's kinda boring but it will all add up to the climax. Next chapter will be better.
I know I have some spelling errors on some japanese words but i'll get them better.
Next chapter, Kenshin and Sanosuke make it to the Aoiya and meet some old friends. They might get a little help fighting on Kakushibyou Temple. But first they might have a little interference from a strong fighter from Hakaisha.
