After Kenshin and company had met up with Kaitou, the team decided to rest it off. "Ok, so do you know why you of all of us were attacked?" Kenshin asked, pouring some beef stew in a bowl for them. "Well... I have a reason to think that I was attacked, and I have the feeling my sisters are in trouble as well." Sanosuke got up and nodded. "Well ... what are you sisters?"
"Their Espers as well... Kaori is a magician, Ayame is a thief, and Kaze is a martial artist... Kaori is the youngest, and Ayame is the oldest..." Kaitou said, taking his bowl. "Hm ... there is a magic shop just ahead in the village, we might be able to at least find a little of your sister Kaori..." Yahiko said. Kaoru got up and nodded. "Yahiko and I will go with you. There's no sense in staying here... I'll close up the dojo too." Kenshin nodded.
The team made their way into the village. Many people stared at Kenshin for carrying a sword in sight. "So I guess the No-Sword law was really in place?" Asked Kaitou. "Yeah ... and we like kicked a whole bunch of butts of those waked out cops!" Yahiko said, clenching his fists. "Heh, just believe in yourself and you'll be able to go up against any challenge." Kaitou said.
"The words of a god. So you must know its true." Kaoru said. "So where is this magic store?" Kaitou asked. "Just right over there. Kenshin and I go with you, what about you two children?" Sanosuke asked, sweat-dropping at the two fighting, and pulling at each others hair. "Whatever ... forget I asked..." Sanosuke just sighed and went with Kenshin and Kaitou.
When they arrived in the magic shop, they were greeted by the store owner. "Welcome! In here you will find a whole bunch of things, from magic items, to great spells!" He owner said happily. "Anything here about the Sacred Arts of Hinboshin?" The storeowner just stepped back. "H-Hinboshin? Where did you hear of the Sacred Arts?"
"Well... my sister practices the Sacred Arts. She has pretty much mastered them too... and I was looking for her and so I figured that she would be here in a magic store..." Kaitou said. "Whats your name young man...?" The owner asked. "I-it's Kaitou sir..." He bowed. "Kaitou? Is that really Kaitou?! IIIIIEEEE!" A young woman came running from the back part of the store, dropped her staff and hugged Kaitou. "H-hey! Who are you?" He asked.
The girl made a sad puppy face. "You don't even remember your own sister?!?!!?!?!? It's me! Kaori!!" Kaitou just smiled and got up from the floor. "It's nice to see you again Kaori. We were looking for you so I figured you would be here at a magic shop, and I asked the store owner here about the Sacred Arts and he just freaked out..." Kaitou said. "Oh? Who are these people?" Kaori asked.
"These are my friends I met not too long ago. This is Kenshin, Kaoru, Sanosuke, and Yahiko. Guys this is my sister Kaori, the mystic magician." Kenshin bowed. "Hello," as well as Sanosuke. "Nice to meet you" Followed by Yahiko. "Hey there chick..." Then lastly Kaoru. "You have to excuse Yahiko here, he doesn't have any manners ... It's nice to meet you too..." Kaori just giggled. "I like it when I'm called 'mystic magician' it makes me feel so strong!"
"Magicians rely mostly on their ability to cast magic right?" Sanosuke asked. "Yeah, we magicians aren't very strong in physical strength but are very powerful in magic casting." Kaori responded, picking her staff back up. "So what are you doing here Kaori?" Kaitou asked. "Well, I was sleeping back at home and I woke up here ... it's really bizarre..." She said. "You don't say ... I was sitting under the Ancient Sakura Blossoms and just boom, I fell here in the village ... and I literally fell ... but Sanosuke here spotted me and took me home." Kaitou smiled.
"So you just appeared here too didn't you... I wonder if the same thing happened to Ayame, and Kaze..." Kenshin looked outside. "...? What's going on there?" The group walked out to where the crowd was surrounding the near by diner. "I hear there is a robbery in process..." Said a nearby lady. "Wha?!!?!?!!?" Kaori screamed. "What whats wrong?" Kenshin asked. "Hu?" Apparently Kaori was startled by the shadow that just took off in front of her.
"Someone please help! You! You guys look like warriors! Can you please catch that thief? Please I'm begging you!!" The chef asked. "Alright, I don't see why we can't." They all nodded and followed the shadow into the woods.

When they arrived Sanosuke just sighed. "Man ... this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack..." Kaori just smiled. "Not with my magic..." Kaori lifted her staff up in the air and shouted. "Grid Lock!!" Soon after the spell was cast, a grid appeared around the forest. "Now, this grid should close in on us any minute now, but only the thief will be closed in, we will not be effected by it in any way..."
Birds started to fly out of the forest as the grid started to close in on them. Sooner or later the grid closed completely. "The hell is this!? Who the hell are you!?" The thief said, falling to the ground. "I will have you know that you will return the items you stole from the chef, that you will..." Kenshin said. "Oh yeah? What if I refuse?" The thief said, getting up.
"Heh, or you'll have to get a whoopin..." Sanosuke said, holding up his Zanbatou. "And we have two of the four Espers here to kick your ass too!" Yahiko said. "The Esper gods? I thought they were myths ... anyway who cares! I'll take you all on!" The thief got up and pulled out a handful of daggers. "Is he nuts or what?" Kaoru said, pulling out her sword.
"We'll wait Kaori..." Kaitou said calmly, his body starting to glow blue already, with the aura of the Dragon. "Yes, were way out of his league..." Kaori replied, her body glowing red, with the aura of the Phoenix. It wasn't long before the thief and Kenshin, Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Kouru began combat.
Kaouru had the first hit, a hard smack in the side sent the thief across the field as Yahiko hit him down on the ground with a mid-air attack. When the thief got up Kenshin and Sanosuke got up and walked up to him. "Give back the items or you'll have to see the end of your life, that you will..." Kenshin said.
"Never! I won't ever give these items up!" Sanosuke slammed the Zanbatou to the floor, creating a ton of dust around the surrounding area. The thief smiled and started to run. "Kaori ..." Kaitou said smiling... "Yes brother ..." Kaori held up her staff and shouted "Grid Lock!" As the grid barrier surround them again, trapping the runaway thief.
"It's our turn now ..." Kaitou held his hands in an offensive position as a blue figure started to appear in his hands, with a flash, the Kiyomori appeared. "I've been waiting for this..." The thief got up from the ground, looking at the two Espers in amazement. "So they do exist ... It's because of you, that my daughter was killed in the Esper War!!" The thief charged angrily at them, with rage and fury.
"Phoenix Brushfire Storm!!" Kaori echoed, as large black clouds formed in the sky. Red lightning stuck down at the ground as large fireballs began to hurl and crash down at the thief, burning and scorching his clothes. "Nyahhh!" The thief fell back, and after a few minutes, he regained his footing again, standing up. "You don't get it do you ... While you were fighting, I have been charging energy all this time. Now ... you have two choices ... either you give the items up and give them back to the chef, or you die in vain... Because I could strike any minute, you would die either way. A single slash with my sword would cut you down, but just imagine on what a charged attack could do? I could even kill one of my sisters with this..."
The thief got up. "... I'll give them back just don't kill me!!" Kaitou put down his sword as the blue flames died down a bit. "Then do it..." The thief did as he was told, they followed him back to the chef and watched him give the items back. For punishment, the chef had him cook, wash, and clean for him for a year...
"I guess stealing items doesn't pay off does it...?" Kaori said.
When they made their way back to the Kamiya Dojo, the children automatically greeted Kenshin as he made his way around to play with them. Kaoru and Yahiko went inside to train some more as Sanosuke just went for a walk.
"So ... Ayame and Kaze are still yet to be found right?" Kaori asked. "Yeah, but I have the strongest feeling that we'll meet up with Kaze very soon..." Kaori nodded. "Your right brother, either we'll find Kaze, or she'll find us..." Kaori and Kaitou laughed.
