Disclaimer: Why do we even need to write these? I think it's pretty obvious
the only thing I own in this Fan fiction is Kujiro and Ajisai and the plot
line...
Author's-blabber-of-nothing-important: I am gonna shorten this story a lot. I have lost most interest in this and want to go on and start writing the other fan fic ideas that I have, but I fully intend on finishing this! I'm just going to make it a romance instead of an action romance. There was going to be a lot more to this story than what's going to happen but I can't bring myself to write all that, since I have writer's block on what I have already planned out! So, on with the chapter!

*****Chapter 9 ~ Well deserved rest*****
Souzou had no clue what happened. He was in his room at Nagasaki's dojo and with a blur of colors and howl of wind in his ears he was lying in the forest. At the corner of his eyes he saw a figure, a women most likely, waver and fall to the ground with a red liquid around it.
'Blood.'
Kujiro saw that his eyes were open and rejoiced, but that was the straw. Her rejoicing took to much energy for her weakened body; she tried to straighten herself when she felt herself start to fall, but she couldn't. She gave in and let her body fall.
Ajisai heard a 'thud' and knew immediately it was Kujiro. 'She needs medical attention, where the hell is the doctor?!'
As if hearing Ajisai's mental call Megumi who was brought by the group, walked over to the two laying forms and saw that the man had his eyes open glazed over with confusion and worry.
He tried to get up but Megumi refused to let him, "Please, sir, don't waste your energy and stay. I need to attend to her, just lay down."
Souzou tried to comprehend but he wanted to know what was happening. He never saw her in Nochinoyo and he could have swore he saw her with Sanosuke, but how could she see him?!
Megumi took out various paraphernalia, lotions, and bandages.
"I need to get her to the clinic, or she will bleed to death."
Ajisai volunteered since she could see Sano wanted to talk with Souzou. She took Kujiro's arm and wasn't a bit surprise when Kujiro tried to push away, to weak to attempt sensing who it was.
"Kujiro no baka! Stop squirming! If you want to die of blood loss then keep squirming!"
Only one person talked to her like that, in that annoyed and sarcastic tone, "Whatever Ajisai..."
Souzou saw Sanosuke, "Sanosuke? What are you doing here?"
"No time now captain, we gotta get you to kitsune's clinic so she can give you a check up... but it's great to have you back Captain."
'Have me back? What was Sanosuke talking about?! I'm dead... but if I'm dead why can they talk to me? Kami-sama this is confusing.'
Kenshin looked at Kaoru and Yahiko. They were the only ones left in the clearing. Kenshin sheepishly smiled and said, "We should go to the clinic, ne?"
Yahiko was still awed at the power Kujiro seemed to show, and Kaoru was thinking along those same lines as well.
~*~
Megumi was working as fast as possible, without making any careless mistakes. She was absorbed in wrapping Kujiro's wounds. Her gi was tattered and was cut off long ago. She had bruises on her sides as if she was being crushed, and bruises on her upper chest. There was scratch marks half a foot long across her stomach, cutting through the bandages she had originally around her stomach. 'Kami-sama, who knows how deep these cuts would be if there wasn't bandaging...'
The more time pasted the more bruises appeared. She couldn't apply any lotions on them until she bandaged up all of the deep cuts along her abdomen. She took one hell of a beating.
When she was done she walked out of the room to the room containing Souzou, and started to attend to him, he didn't really need any thing. Just an explanation and rest.
"So how hurt is she," he asked.
"She was beat up pretty bad Souzou-san, I don't know when she will wake up, but she will survive. She lost a lot of blood and acquired some nasty bruises."
"But why do that for me? She must have known I was content being dead. A little disappointed on being betrayed, but..."
"You should ask Ken-san that question or Tori-atama."
"Tori-atama?!"
"Oh, Sanosuke... the baka Tori. Now get some rest, I will not allow any of my patients to collapse of sleepiness!"
~*~
She sensed someone ki, too tired to actually bother going into it anymore than that she kept her eyes closed hoping they would go away if they thought she was still asleep.
The shoji door slid open and shut with a dull scraping noise... 'They didn't even bother to knock?! Maybe they think I'm still asleep... wait... every one thinks that in the first place no baka!'
She heard the clunk of a tray being put on the floor, and the subtle sound of clothes rustling.
'Are they going to feed me? Maybe I should let them know I'm awake. Kami-sama it would be awkward for me otherwise.'
She felt the eyes starring at her... and sense her master stressed to teach her, since she was a girl, it was more important to be aware of her surroundings, since some people had hentai minds.
i "Deshi, remember this. You have great potential, I will not lie. But never let the line between arrogance and confidence break. If you are arrogant, when you fall you will fall harder. Hai, everyone falls at one point. Also, you are becoming a young women. "You must be constantly aware of your surroundings in seedy and dilapidated areas. Not all men are gentle men." /i
Suddenly her jaw was open, the only way she could tell was by her moving it slightly to find it open... but, she hadn't opened it, and she didn't feel the person's touch. Was she paralyzed?! She very well could be she hadn't bothered to try to move.
She wasn't sure how much time had passed but she wasn't keeping her eyes closed any longer. She opened them and saw a black haired man, his bangs covering half his face leaning over her about to out rice in her mouth.
'Wait! This isn't right! He must have been putting that stuff in my mouth for a while! CCRRAAAPP! I think I'm paralyzed!'
The man starred over at her, unsure of what to do now that she was up. Tell Megumi? Or ask her the questions that had been bothering him greatly?
Kujiro finally recognized the man as Souzou... 'YAY! It worked!'
Instead of that coming out of her mouth, "Tell me, am I paralyzed?!"
Souzou looked at her puzzled and chuckled a little, "Why would you be paralyzed? Megumi never told me that."
"Are you serious?!" Kujiro was finally allowing her body to relax after tensing up thinking she was paralyzed...
'Kami-sama! I can be such an idiot sometimes! If I had control over my muscles, then of course I'm not paralyzed!'
Kujiro looked as if she could have smacked herself, just the pure annoyance written over her face seemingly directed at her self.
"Ano, Kujiro-san, what's wrong?"
"First of all Souzou-san, my name is Kujiro, not Kujiro-san, and I was just thinking about certain stuff."
"Aa."
Kujiro couldn't stand laying down any more, she had to move; the thought of being paralyzed still in her mind.
She rose a little too quickly as the sheet that was up to her chin dropped down to her waist as she shot up from her old position. She didn't see that she was so bruised that night. She had a patch across her stomach covering up a cut, and she had binding on her breasts, but other than that, her stomach was viewable to all.
Kujiro felt incredibly embarrased and smacked herself in the forehead. She threw her body back on the bed and let her hair cover her flushed face.
"Arigatou Souzou-san, but I'm not hungry anymore."
Souzou was a little put of track... he couldn't get the image out of his mind, eventually shutting it out and replied, "My name is Souzou, not Souzou-san. Good day Kujiro."
Souzou walked out, still a little weirded out. Yes, he had seen many horrible injuries in the war, but seeing a few bruises on her made him feel... bad maybe?
'AH! I forgot to ask her that question!'
"Souzou-san? Anything change with Kujiro-san's condition?"
Megumi's voice rang clear through his mind, "Oh, yes, she woke up while I was feeding her."
"Great. I'll go check on her, are you sure your alright Souzou-san?"
"Hai."
He walked away, to go and talk to Sano, especially since Katsu was going to be there.
'Ten years... They always fought as though they were brothers.' A small chuckle escaped him recalling all the times the argued over the smallest things. Loosing fish, being an idiot or a gerk...
~*~
Kujiro lay there know there must be a huge blush on her face, hopefully it would have disappeared by now since she could sense Megumi? Probably Megumi, she learned her ki after the alley way.
"Whats up Megumi," She asked before Megumi could utter a word.
"Kujiro-san, I need to give you a check up, we can have some small talk afterwards."
"Pfft. Sure, I'm sure I'm fine."
"You never know Kujiro-san."
"Kami-sama! Stop calling me –san! You make me feel like an old hag!"
Megumi smiled softly at her comment and started her check up on Kujiro.
Author's-blabber-of-nothing-important: Well, there is another chapter... hopefully there wont be many more... maybe 5 or 6. But, I saw the last RK movie yesterday! I won't say anything but I liked the end... it fit! I will probably will take a while when I update now since I have track everyday until 5:00. Sometimes I wonder why I joined.
