Chapter 3: Indians in Japan?
"They kidnapped your friend Katsu because they mistakenly took him as the Battousai?" Kaoru asked. Sano nodded. "Oh that's horrible! You must be worried about him."
"Don't worry, Sano. We'll help you get him back." Yahiko jumped down from the rafters holding a bamboo stick.
"And just how long have you been up there listening to our conversation?" Kaoru said annoyed pushing his head down. "You were supposed to be mopping the floor."
"Hey I can help too!" Yahiko complained. They glared at each other and then noticed Kenshin sitting quietly in thought.
Cowboy music played as he stood up, his sword by his side. "Well if it's me that they want, then it is me they will get." He announced. "I'm sorry Katsu had to get involved in this." Kenshin apologized to Sanosuke.
"So you're going after them?" Kaoru said worried with goggly eyes. He looked at her and nodded seriously.
More Western cowboy music played.
"I shall come with you." Kaoru decided.
"Me too!" Yahiko chimed in.
More music.
"I don't know who these 'Ruffians' are..." Kenshin began seriously.
"Oh, don't worry about that." Sano interrupted.
"What do you mean?"
More of that music.
Sano went outside and dragged in the same man he had met at Katsu's house. He held him by the back of the shirt. "All right everybody." Sano began haughtily. "Meet Herb. He's gonna tell us all we need to know about the Ruffians and be our tour guide through Moesville, which just happens to be the Ruffian's headquarters. Say hello, Herb."
"Hi guys." The man waved sheepishly.
They all fell backwards for the sake of a dramatic moment. "Well then, let's go." Kaoru said happily.
"Uh..." Sano said.
More cowboy music.
"Yes?"
"Uh..."
"What is it?"
Cowboy music.
"What's up with that music?" He asked and they opened the back door to se a bunch of Native Americans sitting around a campfire with a tipi behind them. Blinking, they closed the door and the music stopped. Opening it again, they saw that the strangers had disappeared.
Scratching his head, Sano said, "That was strange."
"Oro?" Kenshin oroed.
"Huh?" Yahiko said following Sano's example of scratching his head.
Shrugging Kaoru put her hands up. "Well we might as well go save your friend, Sano."
"Uh... one problem." Sano mentioned.
"Yeah and what's that?" Yahiko asked.
"Uh, well, you see..." He trailed.
"Yes?" Kaoru prodded.
"Uh, well there's this..."
"What is it?" Kenshin asked.
"I... uh..."
"Just blurt it out already!" Yahiko said aggravated.
"Well in order to get to where Katsu is, we have to..."
"Have to what?"
"Well, we have to..."
"WHAT!" They all yelled surrounding Sano.
He fell over again in shock, foaming at the mouth. The only words they got out of him were something about ghosts, sewers, souls, and magic.
"Uh oh." Kaoru realized.
"What is it?" Kenshin asked.
"We have to ride the train."
"Not that again!" Yahiko blurbed. "You're not still scared of steam engines are you?" He said shaking the swirly eyed Sano.
"Oro?" He said with his eyes all in spirals.
"Hey, that's my line." Kenshin mentioned.
"Eh heh heh heh." Sano laughed nervously still being shook by Yahiko.
"Come on, Sanosuke." Kaoru said dragging him by the shirt.
"Snap out of it!" Yahiko said slapping Sano across the face.
"Now, now..." Kenshin said wagging his hands around.
Sano said nothing but, "Uh...."
