Saitoh watched warily as the Battousai lead the woman and child away. He couldn't understand what had possessed him to end the fight the way he did. Never before had he ever broken out of such a primeval struggle to smash an ant.
Then again, he wasn't expecting to live through it, yet the Battousai halted content to let him finish the job.
Distracted he wiped his sword on the ant's ruined silk suit and sheathed it.
What was it about that woman that called to him? He knew he had never seen her before, or met her rather. He had seen her plenty of times in the court room dressed in simple, yet classy dresses with a flattering amount of makeup on.
She knew who he was also. He could see it in her eyes. On a business level they were mortal enemies, but there had been that flash. One he was sure had been glinting in his own golden orbs. Certain recognition deep down.
If he believed in the mumbo jumbo trash talk of the New Age he would say that they were soul mates. Instead he felt annoyed that she had gotten such a reaction out of him.
They would meet again, he was sure of that.
A/N: Now you guys can dance for joy/ cry your eyes out because that's all folks. As for a sequel *looks around nervously*... yeah... does one and a half chapters count? School tomorrow. First day of school, first day of school! -__- Shoot me now. I'll have to deal with my peers *again*. Damn, and this is going to fall just short of a 100 reviews.
Reviewers:
MissBehavin: He's such a stubborn man ^__^;; Um, I could wonder too... I mean, that's for me to figure out and you to wait for! Self perservation generally runs high in people, I think it just skipped Sano. Kamatari may be flippant and flamboyant, but he's not stupid. Annoying yes. That's usually how I describe something like that ^.~
Fyyrrose: One, just one. It's not my fault that I didn't review in time. You know that I'm not the best at doing things without being distracted. Besides, I was working on BSR, so nah :P. The meeting sounded like it went off well. Don't let your Muse near me ever again @.@;; You're welcome, did you get through most of them? I was going to give you that E/K, but since your net is fixed *shrug* you can hunt it down.
Wistful-Eyes: See, you say already, but fyyrrose says is it done yet? I wrote this in a month, that just shocks me ^^ Megumi should have bitten him harder >:)
eriesalia: Full circle ^__^ I think Saitoh is looking at Aoshi and going -__-' Screentime in my fics is bad! I asked my brother what he wanted Yahiko to do exactly and he thought about it and announced NOTHING, just keep on ignoring him! Aww, no romantic conclusion ^^ There was warning. I was originally intending a full blown sequel to be honest.
