Hey, I've been having a little trouble writing lately so hopefully this helps me come out of my writing slump. This may seem yaoi-ish but it's really not, I just made it that way to tease my yaoi friends =p
I'm fairly knew to the whole sword fighting writing thing so forgive me if it's not all that good. I'm used to writing for energy wielding demon bishounen and such.
So enjoy chapter 1.
---------------------------------
The scene comes into view years later outside the Kamiya Dojo as a handsome short red haired boy stands outside sweeping carefully, he pauses looking up as he notices someone pass by at the end of the entrance of their home, his lavendar eye's widening curiously as he walks closer watching from afar. Stepping back, leaning around the corner as he see's a short figure surrounded by men, a sword in his hand as he lunges at the man easily taking them out. As the man easily takes out the attacking men he pauses looking back to the boy, his light eye's sparkling through the shadow under the large hat covering his features, his long hair blowing as a wind picks up around them. The lavendar eye'd boys eyes widen and he pauses looking over as Kaoru is heard calling out to him.
Kaoru: Shinji! Where are you?
She calls out curiously.
Shinji: I'm right here!
He yells back smiling as his mother runs up to him and looks around the corner curiously her eye's widening as she see's the men collapsed on the ground.
Kaoru: What happened here?!
She yells frantically looking over Kenshin comes out hearing her upset tone.
Shinji: A stranger, some man. He fought them..
He whispers and then slowly walks away, his mind wandering somewhere else.
The scene changes to later that day as Shinji is seen sitting alone in his bedroom leaning against the wall, his eye's closed his head titled up as thoughts of earlier flow through his mind.
Shinji: Those eye's..
He whispers, pausing and looking over as Suzume is seen standing at the door peaking in. Suzume smiles and comes in sitting down beside him.
Suzume: What's wrong, Shinji?
Shinji: I don't know...
Suzume: You don't look so good maybe you should lay down.
Shinji: I'm fine.
He mumbles and then stands up reaching for his sheethed sword on the floor infront of him. Suzume watches curiously as he walks across the room and opens the door leading to outside. Suzume turns looking up as Ayame pokes her head in curiously.
Suzume: Shinji just went outside.
Ayame: Oh.
Suzume: Something is bothering him.
She says as she gets up and goes over to the door, cracking it open and peering out, looking down to Ayame who leans beneath her looking through the whole curiously as Shinji is seen outside striking around with his sword, his skill and speed amazing as he silently attacks the air around him.
Ayame: Maybe it's girl problems.
She says looking up to Suzume who nods, Ayame's eye's widening as she hears a loud noise come up behind her. She screams and jumps falling into the door as Yahiko comes up behind her yelling and grabbing her, the door shattering as both she and Suzume fall out landing face first onto the porch. Yahiko giggles rubbing his head looking at Shinji who pauses and looks back.
Ayame: That wasn't very nice Yahiko.
She says with narrow eye's s she stands up.
Suzume: Not nice at all.
She says as she stands and crosses her arms, Yahiko giggles.
Yahiko: But it was so funny.
Ayame: Hmph.
She says tossing her head away from her as she turns and storms off, Suzume doing the same. Shinji stands there a moment and then turns and begins to walk away, Yahiko stands there a moment looking at him curiously and then shrugs and turns and walks back into the house.
Shinji pauses looking back as his mother calls out to him and then runs up to him.
Kaoru: I need you to go into town for me.
Shinji: Oh?
He asks curiously reaching out and taking a small paper as his mother hands it to him.
Kaoru: Here is the list.
Shinji: Ok..
He says hesitantly looking up as Suzume runs up to him eagerly.
Suzume: I want to go with you!
She says excitedly, Shinji shrugs and turns and begins to walk. Suzume eagerly following after him.
The scene changes as Shinji and Suzume are seen slowly walking through the grass covered area, down the long path. Shinji's eye's widening and he quickly stops reaching his arm out to Suzume who clumsily runs into it and looks up, her eye's widening as she see's a group of men running towards them. He reaches for his sword preparing to strike when they reach slowly pushing Suzume back defensively, and then he jumps back with wide eye's as the mysterious stranger from earlier comes out of nowhere kicking at the men knocking them all to the ground. Shinji stands there watching with wide, mesmerized eye's as the stranger fights easily doding all of their forceful attacks, leaping up into the air kicking them down, his sword flowing gracefully around as he quickly takes out the group of men, pausing and looking back as Suzume screams. Shinji's eye's widen with disbelief as he turns to se eone of the men holding Suzume forcefully, a sword held at her throat.
Shinji: I didn't even notice..
He mumbles with disbelief, his eye's widening as the stranger slowly approaches. The man holding Suzume smiles watching.
Man: I will kill the girl.
He says in a dark tone as he gazes at the stranger who stops, a smile can be seen creeping up beneath the large hat covering the rest of his features.
Man: Give me the sword.
The man says as he tightens his grip on Suzume who screams. Shinji's eye's narrow.
Shinji: You let her go!
He yells angrily as he draws his sword holding it out towards the man, pausing and looking over with wide eye's as he feels a soft touch pushing down his arm. His lavendar eye's widening even more as he can see the sparkling green eye's of the strange beside him gazing at him intensely, slowly he lowers his sword watching as the stranger reaches into a large bag pulling out a sheethed sword, the black sheeth engraged with silver markings.
Man: Show me the sword.
He says to ensure that it is the real thing, the strange nods and grabs the hilt slowly pulling the sword out, tossing the sheeth up into the air as he lunges at the man with amazing speed slamming the side of the sword into the man's neck. The man groans and drops to the ground. The strange pauses and walks over to where he once stood holding up the sword gazing up as the sheeth drops onto the sword. The stranger turns and smiles to Shinji and then drops the sheethed sword back into his bag and turns and walks away without saying a word.
Suzume: Wow..
She says with wide eye's as she watches the strange walk down the path in the direction they had come from. Looking over as she see's Shinji watching as well.
Suzume: It's a good thing he came isn't it Shinji.
She says stepping up to Shinji, waving her hand infront of his face as he doesn't respond. Shinji turns and looks down at her.
Shinji: What? Yeah..
He mumbles, his gaze not leaving the stranger's back as he continues down the path not even looking back towards them.
Suzume: We should hurry it's going to get dark soon..
She says as she gazes up at the sky.
Shinji: Yeah..
He says hesitantly and then turns and continues down the path, Suzume walking beside him stepping over the bodies of the men on the ground.
Suzume: For living in such a peaceful time.. there sure is a lot of slaying.
Shinji: Yeah..
He says hesitantly, thoughts of the stranger still flowing in his mind. Those sparkling light green eye's burned into his thoughts as he continues ahead.
The scene changes to later that evening as every one is seen seated together eating their evening meal. Kaoru looks over concernedly to Shinji who has yet to even touch their food.
Kaoru: Shinji? Are you alright?
Shinji: What? Yeah..
He says looking up to his mother blankly.
Suzume: He is probably thinking about the stranger.
Kaoru: Stranger?
Suzume nods, her eye's widening as Shinji leaps for her putting his hand over her mouth, looking over to Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko and Ayame with a big smile.
Shinji: May Suzume and I be excused?
Kaoru nods slowly watching with wide eye's as Shinji drags Suzume away. Shinji drags her all the way to his room releasing her as they reach it.
Suzume: What did you do that for?!
She yells smacking his hands.
Shinji: If you tell them about that they will worry.
Suzume: Oh..
She says hesitantly.
Suzume: But why don't you want them to know about him?
Shinji: I..
Suzume's eye's widen.
Suzume: Your attracted to him aren't you?
Shinji: What? No no.. I'm not gay.
Suzume smiles and nods.
Suzume: It's alright Shinji, it's not wrong to have feelings for another guy. You can't help who you fall in love with... Shinji.
Shinji: I'm not gay.
He says shaking his head quickly, Suzume shrugs and then turns to leave the room stopping as Shinji reaches out and grabs her by the wrist.
Shinji: Just don't tell any one.
Suzume: I won't. Shinji.
She says with a big smile.
I'm fairly knew to the whole sword fighting writing thing so forgive me if it's not all that good. I'm used to writing for energy wielding demon bishounen and such.
So enjoy chapter 1.
