Another baka?!!

Xien executed a perfect Dou Ryu Sen.
"See Seijuro!! I can too perform a perfect Dou Ryu Sen!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Take that!!"
"Hmph. Just because you can fling rocks through the air doesn't mean that you're done with your training. You're just another baka." Hiko replied.
Both Xien and Hiko were sitting on a hill overlooking Tokyo. It was peaceful under the sakura tree, and Hiko didn't want to leave quite yet.
Meanwhile, the 10 yr. old's face was turning a bright red as her hair as she let her legendary temper build up.
Then quietly she said, "I'll take your sake."
"What did you say?"
"I'LL TAKE YOUR DANG SAKE!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled, jumping up and grabbing his jug of sake.
His eyes snapped open and he just missed grabbing her as she raced down the hill.
The murderous look in Hiko's eyes couldn't be mistaken for any other emotion as he strode down the hill after her.

**..**..

So this is Tokyo. I'm sure Hiko won't be able to find me for at least a little while. Jeez, he's too slow for my liking. Besides, my after images should give me more time to look for the Battosai.
After a little while of walking and doubling back and walking forward again to confuse her master even more, Xien found herself at the dojo. Peeping inside, she saw a full size class being held before her. Every movement was synchronized. A woman with black hair, pale skin, and Safire blue eyes led the class.
Stepping inside, she moved so that she next found herself in the yard, though well in the shadows. She drew her shinai, and let the rhythm take her.

Kenshin looked over to where the little girl was. She'd been there practically the whole class. He smiled, thinking. She's probably lost and has never had a sword lesson in her life. His eyes widened when she drew a shinai and started copying Kaoru's every move.
"Kenshin, what's wrong?" Yahiko asked as he came up.
"Look in the shadows, Yahiko." Kenshin's eyes never left the girl who performed the whole exercise perfectly

"Good work everybody, you're excused!" Kaoru called out to her class as they packed up for the day. She turned to find a girl behind her, still looking at her. Suddenly realizing that she was caught, she stepped out into the light. Just then a form that we all know all too well stepped and caught her by the scruff of the neck.
"Finally caught you. Did you really think I'd fall for those after images for long, my baka?" Hiko asked as he held her by the neck of her shirt facing him at eye level.
She crossed her arms. "I don't care if I'm a baka or not, but it took you longer than I anticipated. You must be losing your touch old man. Or are you the baka in this situation?"
Kenshin got up. He'd better save this little girl from sure death. He came up to Kaoru's side just as the fight began again.
Hiko's jaws clenched and you could tell that he was straining to not blow up. Xien just smirked.
"One more score for me. And by the way Seijuro, your sake was by the door the whole time. I know you would ask me so I just left it by the door to the dojo."
Kenshin's mind reeled. She doesn't call him Shishou, she called him a baka, and she stole his sake? She must have a death wish a mile long, that she does.
"Besides, I found the Battousai a heck of a lot quicker than you did! So there!!

**..**

Kenshin looked at the little battered bundle beside him. Xien was helping him make supper. Hiko was being merciful. He mused.
"Could you please pass me the frying pan?"
She handed him the pan without a fuss.
"So, how did you come to live with Hiko?"
"I don't know exactly. He says he found me as a baby. I've been with him all my life. He adopted me as his student, so I'm forced to learn the Hitten Mitsorugi Ryu from him. Sometimes he says at least I didn't wet the bed most of the time." She looked at Kenshin through her bangs.
Kenshin pretended to be extremely interested with a spot on the frying pan.
Xien sighed. "But at least that person's really brave, has a family, defeated Shishio Makoto and is the hero of all Japan."
Kenshin smiled. "They've all forgotten about that but you and I. And let's keep it that way. Your time will come little one."
Xien smiled back. "That it will!!"

**..**..

"Here it comes!! And brought out by a mini Kenshin!! Yum!" Sano did a double take. "A mini Kenshin?"
"That's my new baka." Hiko replied to no one in particular.
Kenshin took his seat. "That's right Sano. And she was kind enough to help me make dinner so be nice."
"By the way Kenshin, where's Kenji?" Kaoru asked when Xien was seated next to her and Hiko.
"He's over at Yahiko and Tusambe's house. He'll be back in the morning."
"I wish this baka would be that pertinant." Hiko said again to no one in particular.
In one swift movement, Hiko's face collided with a frying pan.
"XIEN!!!!!!!!"
Xien looked up meekly from her tea.
"Yes Seijuro?"
