*Sniff * *Sniff *
IM SO SORRY! I haven't updated in God knows how long my dam- *bleep * computer wont fu-* bleep* work! Screw this thing! It hasn't been working right since like the beginning of January. Technology, you know? It's only useful when it WORKS! Which is hardly EVER might I add!

*I wonder if Tsubame's still up? I don't want to have to bash Mushu's face in front of her. * Yahiko had been walking for 15 minutes wearing the same expression. Anger. Anger at Mushu. Anger at Mushu for hitting Kenji. Angry with Mushu for saving Tsubame when it was supposed to be Yahiko instead. He didn't know why, but Mushu had been eating away at his soul ever since he gave Tsubame that stare.
"I hope Tsubame stopped working and went to bed," Yahiko said aloud, glaring up at the unclouded sky. It was dark without a star in sight but the moon shown fully. He looked at it, akari filling the sky. Yahiko began to think what might happen if he was with Tsubame when the night looked the way it did.
Shaking his head, Yahiko continued his stroll towards the Akebeko, his big brown eyes narrowed into a menacing glare. *I'll get you Mushu! * (A/N And your little dog too! MWUHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I had a little moment there.)
-
"Chotto matte!" Tsubame cried, pushing Mushu away. He was quite surprised by this reaction but knew that he was also violating her personal space. He backed away and smiled softly.
"I'm sorry Tsubame. I didn't mean to-" Mushu began but was cut off by the abrupt shaking of Tsubame's head.
"It's alright. Really," she assured Mushu, smiling. Mushu nodded his head and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Tsubame, are you all right? You seem a little . . . distant," asked Mushu with worry.
*Distant? * Tsubame looked at him with big, round, brown eyes then returned her gaze to the floor. She shook her head. *If I told him why, he might get angry . . . *
"Tsubame?"
Both of them looked at the door seeing Yahiko leaning against the wall. He pushed himself off the wall and took long strides toward Mushu, his eyes becoming into tinier slits with each step he took. Tsubame blinked, wondering if her saw Mushu kiss her.
" . . .Bastard," he muttered, clenching his fists.
Mushu narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Nani?"
"You heard me . . ." he grunted, his fists clenched so hard that he could feel his nails slicing through his skin. Tsubame gasped seeing blood run through the cracks of Yahiko's tan fingers.
"Yahiko-" she began, but when his eyes fell on her, she felt weak, as if she couldn't stand on her own anymore. *His swordsman's spirit! Kaoru once told me of this! *
Yahiko stopped in front of Mushu, stopped so close their breath could felt upon each other's cheek. "You hit him," Yahiko strained out. *I HAVE to calm down! I can't beat him yet! I have to make him admit it first! * He told himself, but it wasn't helping any.
"Hit who?" he demanded, crossing his arms defiantly across his chest. Yahiko couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed Mushu by his collar and gritted his teeth.
"KENJI YOU AHOU! WHO ELSE!?!" Yahiko yelled with anger. Mushu sneered.
"I did no such thing. The little red heads a liar," he defended.
"YOU SHUT UP! I HATE you!" Yahiko yelled he pushed Mushu against the wall and drew back his fist. "You WILL pay!"
"Mou ii!" Tsubame cried out stepping between the two. She looked at Yahiko with tears in her eyes, bottom jaw trembling. (A/N I'll tell yall what these Japanese words mean at the end in case you don't know.)
His eyes softened but still didn't loose their narrowed form. Slowly he brought his fist down and released Mushu. Mushu began straightening out his blood stained gi, not daring to take his eyes off Yahiko.
Tsubame began to shake her head. "Mushu could never have hit Kenji. How could you even think such a thing Yahiko?"
"I'm not thinking anything! What, you think I made it up?" Yahiko said with fury. Mushu put his arm protectively in front of Tsubame.
"I told you before, Yahiko!" Mushu grunted, " I did NOT hit Kenji!" Yahiko stepped past Tsubame ready to slice and dice him into REAL Mushu.
"You little liar! You're not getting away with this!" he yelled, ready to punch Mushu if he said one more word.
"YOU LYING SON OF BITCH!" he cried.
"BRING IT ON! I COULD WHIP YOU ANY DAY!" Mushu challenged, breathing hard with the anticipation of a fight.
"Yahiko!" Tsubame cried. It was too late. Mushu had already lunged at Yahiko, dragging him to ground. Yahiko gritted his teeth, glaring at Mushu. Mushu took a swing and missed. Quickly switching positions so Mushu was on the ground, Yahiko grabbed Mushu into a headlock, squeezing hard enough so it almost choked off his air supply. Mushu gasped for air and tried to struggle out of Yahiko's grip but he refused to let go. Desperately looking around for something that he could use for a weapon, he spotted the rag Tsubame had been using to wipe down the tables. Reaching up, he clutched the tight rag and felt the soap run down his palm.
*Perfect! * He thought. Mushu gave Yahiko a right hook, causing his arm to let go. Mushu acted quickly and through the rag in Yahiko's eyes.
"Arg!" cried Yahiko, stumbling around the room trying to see. He opened his eyes to see a blurry object slam him in the head. He fell to the ground, grunting in pain. Mushu had cracked him over the head with a plate so hard; it shattered before it had hit his opponent.
He stood defiantly over Yahiko, glaring at him. "Bouzu," he said. Yahiko stood up, furious. *I will not loose to this gaijin! * With renounced energy, Yahiko charged Mushu with fervor. Mushu was surprised as he was hit hard. Tsubame screamed but Yahiko didn't hear her. He grabbed Mushu by the collar and began banging his head repeatedly against the floor. Blood began to pour from his nose but Yahiko didn't care. He was to mad, to upset. He didn't even know what mercy meant. All he could think about was Kenji bruised face and watery eyes. Yahiko couldn't for anyone to hit him.
"THAT is enough!" Tae yelled running down the stairs. She grabbed Yahiko by the collar. Mushu smirked and began to stand up but Tae wasn't about to let him get away either.
"What is the meaning of all this?" Tae demanded to know, tapping her foot.
"That stupid gaijin hit Kenji! C'MERE!" Yahiko began to struggle relentlessly out of her grip, but she was firm.
"I told you before, I did no such thing!" retorted Mushu. Tae narrowed her eyes at Yahiko.
"Yahiko, why would you think that Mushu ever did such a thing?" asked a puzzled Tae. Yahiko's eyes went wide with surprise but regained their angry form again.
"How many times do I have to tell you people, I didn't THINK anything! Kenji told me and Kenji's never been known to lie! I don't care what you do to me but no matter what, you're going down!" he threatened. Yahiko had stopped struggling and had just had to rest with insults instead.
Tae heaved a heavy sigh. "Yahiko I think it would be best for you to return to the dojo for the time being." Yahiko was released but he didn't immediately leave. He gave Mushu a deadly glare before marching out the door.
"Tae-dono," Mushu asked, turning up at the restaurant owner, " why does Yahiko hate me?"
She simply shook her head. "Maybe something's going on at the dojo. I'll check on Kenshin and Kaoru to see what's going on there. Yahiko usually doesn't act like that."
The whole time the two had been talking, Tsubame had been looking out the door at Yahiko's retreating form. When he was no longer in sight, she turned to Tae. "I'm going o bed now," she said in a quiet voice. Tae looked at Tsubame and nodded her head.
Turning back to Mushu, she said, "You should be getting home, too."
Mushu smiled and waved. "Saa, I should be. My parents may be worried. Abayo!"
Tae waved back and started picking up the dishes Mushu and Tsubame never got to.
He nodded and began his trek home. *Stupid red head * he thought angrily. With every step he took, it slowly began to turn into a stomp. *I think I'll be going with you Tae. After all, I ALWAYS keep my word. *

Again, I'm sorry. My computer isn't working right and I'm not sure when it'll be fixed. It won't download chapters right so that's why it hasn't been updated in about a month. Anyway, here are all the words I used.
Aa, ee, un, saa = yes (informal)
Ahou = moron
Bouzu = kid (often used as an insult)
Chotto matte = "wait a minute!"
Mou ii = a phrase which basically means "no more!" or "that's enough!"
And just for kicks for all you guys who don't know this:
De gozaru = a polite phrase which is very outdated. It is added to the end of sentences. Only Himura Kenshin is known to use this. It's almost like someone coming up to you and saying, " How art thou?" You know what it means but would never use it in regular conversation. Kenshin's just odd ^ ^.
