A/N: I thought I would break from what is happening to our main characters on 'Oh Brother' and get into what was happening back at the dojo while everyone is away.
When I started this story I realized that I had forgotten something and well I figured out that it was Yutarou! So you know me I couldn't help but put him in here somewhere. And this does tie into the main story who knows it may become important to the sequel, but I haven't decided yet...
EXTRA SPECIAL SHORT STORY!!
MEANWHILE (featuring Yutarou and Saitou ):
It had surprised Yutarou when he arrived for his lesson the Kamiya Dojo was deserted. It wasn't like Kaoru to not be there for practice, or Yahiko to not be there to greet him with his usual 'I'm still better than you are.' attitude
"Where could they have gone?" he said aloud as he wandered around the abandon training hall and then to the main house, "I know they couldn't have forgotten about me, I am the only other student besides Yahiko, so where can they be?" Yutarou sighed and went into town, 'maybe they are out shopping...' he thought to himself. He searched the streets of Tokyo for nearly an hour when he decided that maybe the people at the Akabeko would know where they were.
"Good morning Mr. Yutarou," Tae said sweetly as he entered the restaurant "You look troubled can I help you?"
"Do you know where Kenshin or Kaoru is? They aren't at the dojo."
"Oh dear you don't know do you?"
"Know what?" He asked curiously, he didn't like Tae's worried tone.
"Some man took Miss Kaoru, now Kenshin, Yahiko and Kaoru's brother are out to look for her." Tae said knowledgably. The only reason she knew was because Yahiko had talked to Tsubame and told her what happened, and that Kenshin was going to get Kaoru back.
"Kaoru has a brother?" Yutarou was completely confused 'this is what I get for not being around often enough.' But it wasn't Yutarou's fault he had been ill the last week, you just can't help those kind of things.
Tae explained all that she knew to him. She then suggested that since he was already there that he have some lunch. It was hard to say no to her she had a flamboyancy about her. "You're such a good business woman Miss Tae." He laughed as she brought him some beef stew.
She smiled at him. "Awe thank you Mr. Yutarou."
Yutarou decided it would be best if he stayed at the Dojo and watched over it. He didn't know how long they would be gone but he decided that he would wait for them. And so he waited day turned into night and night into day. It turned as such for three more days before there where any signs of anyone to come to the dojo, but for Yutarou to bad it was his misfortune, for it not to be the people he was expecting.
"Excuse me sir?" said a tall and lanky man who seemed to be battered with dust from traveling.
"Yes." Yutarou said as he got up, he had been lying on the steps in front of the gate.
"Is this the Kamiya Dojo?" the man's seemingly gaunt face was almost hidden by the hat had been wearing
"Depends on who wants to know." He said suspiciously.
"My name is Noriama Daisuke. And I am here looking for Kamiya Kaoru's students."
"Why?" Now this really was getting suspicious.
"I have been ordered to kill them, are you one of them?" The man said bluntly.
"What did you say?" Needles to say Yutarou was a little shocked this man seemed so bold as to say that so calmly, not to mention that he did not hesitate to hide his motives from him. 'What kind of person is he?'
"I think you heard me the first time I said it, and I hate to repeat myself."
"And I hate to say that you're not going to kill me." He said grabbing his shinai.
"Ooo a little brat who thinks that he can match me, its hopeless kid give up now and I'll make it quick." The man drew his sword and charged forward.
Yutarou fell on his back and kicked Daisuke straight in the groin. The man toppled over. 'Thank you Yahiko.'
"that- isn't fair!" he cried through gritted teeth.
"Life isn't fair loser." Yutarou said as he ran off. 'Well what am I gonna do now?' he wondered just before running into our favorite officer of the law Fujita Gurou, also known as Saitou Hajime.
"What's your rush?" Saitou said gruffly looking at the confused boy.
Yutarou noticed the officer's uniform Saitou was wearing, "There's a man at the Dojo, Kaoru and Kenshin...everybody left and this man wants to kill the students." He said out of breath from running.
"I see, and the Battousai is nowhere where we can get a hold of him?" Saitou wasn't surprised at this he expected as much.
Yutarou looked at him, not expecting him to call Kenshin 'The Battousai.'
"Hmm..." Saitou looked at the boy, "Go to the station and wait there." He walked off down the road not giving Yutarou another look.
Saitou lit a cigarette and inhaled from the smoldering stick. 'So it is true, the reason I came here, that man Subaru has come from the bowels of the earth to bad for you, that you have to meet him like this, to bad indeed.' He smirked and threw his cigarette on the ground and sighed, 'a waist of my time this man is no longer here.' He turned around and walked away.
By the time Yutarou was down at the Station Saitou was already behind him. "Whoever was there is no longer around anymore." He said to the young boy as he entered the Station.
"Are you sure?" Yutarou asked following him in.
"Yes." He looked at the boy, "You should go back to your home don't worry about the Kamiya Dojo I have taken care of it."
"If it is all the same I will stay there, it is my friend's home and I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't watch over their home."
"I can't stop you." Saitou responded as the boy left the station. 'Well Battousai looks like you have another loyal follower; hopefully this one will not get himself killed for something so fruitless...'
Yutarou was back at the dojo and had made himself comfortable as he sat in the corner of the training hall, 'I will not fall asleep, not here.' Yutarou stayed looking at the shoji trying not to keep his eyes open. But still being the child that he was his eyelids became heavy and he started to drift until a loud snap brought him out of his stupor. Yutarou looked around to see what it was that had woken him up. He almost jumped up when he noticed that he was being watched.
"Not much of a warrior falling asleep on his night watch." It was that man Noriama Daisuke.
Yutarou grabbed his shinai that had been lying next to him. "I won't let you kill me, or destroy this school." He said breathing hard, the adrenalin rushing to his head.
"Do you think you can stop me child?" the man said darkly.
"No, but I can still try." He could feel his palms get sweaty 'I caught him off guard once before...'
"Try all you might child, but your fight will be futile." The man seemed to disappear and then reappear right in front of Yutarou and he smashed the hilt of his sword into Yutarou's face sending him backwards into the dojo wall.
Yutarou slumped to the ground and wiped the blood from his nose. 'Now that hurt...' he thought to himself. "So I guess your not going to kill me right off are you? You're going to play first." The last was more of a statement rather than an inquiry.
"Well I will say this you aren't completely stupid. No I won't kill you right off I thought I would let you bleed for a while before I set this Dojo and you on fire." The man smirked.
"I won't let you do either," Yutarou got to his feet and readied himself for more of Daisuke's blows. 'I know I can't win but if I fight him like this until someone shows up.' The thought of what Saitou had said to him 'Don't worry about the Kamiya Dojo I have taken care of it.' Yutarou charged forward, 'I hope you come soon...'
POLICE STATION(a little earlier):
"Where are you going Inspector Fujita?" asked one of the officers as Saitou walked out the door.
"I have some business to attend to." He said darkly as he put on his hat and walked on down the road. 'What a foolish man to attack while I am in town.'
Yutarou charged at the man and nearly made contact when the man retaliated and hit Yutarou in the arm. 'Damn it,' He thought 'Why is it always my arm?'
"Child you bore me" Daisuke looked down at Yutarou who was clutching his arm. Daisuke raised his sword and swung down but stopped at the nap of Yutarou's Neck. "Some one who is worthy..." He looked down at the child "I will give you some time to prepare yourself for your inevitable death."
Daisuke walked out of the Dojo and through the back and into the woods. "I know you're there, might as well come out of your hiding."
"Who said I was hiding?" Saitou said leaning against a tree behind him, "You are the one who blindly walked past me."
Daisuke looked at him and smirked, "An officer, what kind of officer has a swordsman spirit like yours?"
Saitou didn't respond. "You work for Subaru. So tell me what does your master have up his sleeves?"
"Master Subaru has said nothing-"
"Is that what he told you to say?" Saitou interrupted seeing straight through the mans deception. "I have heard something much different."
"Have you now. Who are you really? You can not be an officer of the law, no officer I know is at all like you."
"You may be right. Just tell me what your master is up to." Saitou was feeling impatient.
"Master Subaru is creating a new order and there are certain things that stand in his way... weakness, and we can't let them survive!" The man acted as though he were strong, but Saitou saw through this he was crippled by his false bravado and his corrupt ways.
"You sound like someone I once knew..." Saitou thought idly of Makoto Shishio. (A/N: does Saitou even think idly?) "So the strong survive, and the weak are food for the strong are they?"
Daisuke laughed insanely "The strong will survive and the weak shall parish!"
"Is that your motto?" Saitou drew his sword. "Do you know what mine is? Ack. Soh. San." (A/N: I know I am misspelling this so if you know the proper spelling please, please, please tell me!)
"Kill. Evil. Instantly..." the mans eyes widened in fear what kind of fool had he been. "Saitou Hajime..." but it was too late Saitou had already cut the man down.
"If there is one other thing I hate it is ignorance..." He said as he walked off into the darkness of the forest.
Yutarou sat on the ground, 'I can't let him kill me.' Yutarou stood up still clutching the shallow cut in his upper arm. 'I guess I was lucky...'
"Kid," said a dark voice from the other side of the shoji.
"The officer..." Yutarou said out loud as he walked towards the shoji.
"That man will not give you or this dojo any trouble anymore so go to the clinic and get cleaned up." Saitou turned around to walk off.
"Thank you sir..."
"Don't thank me yet. Tell the Battousai if you see him, that I know..." Saitou stomped out his cigarette on the ground and left the dojo. 'I don't even like you why is it that I am always saving your hide Himura?'
When Saitou arrived at the police station he looked at the slumbering officer. "Ahem..." he coughed, the officer looked lazily up at him, "Tell them it's time."
"Right..."
Yutarou did what Saitou had said and he went down to the clinic and let Dr. Gensai patch him up.
"You were lucky, any deeper and you would have lost use of your arm again."
"Did you have to say again?" Yutarou said. 'I wonder what that man meant when he said he knew, knew what?' Yutarou's face turned red and he couldn't hold it in any longer and he screamed at the top of his lungs "I hate being left behind!!"
THE END
For those who don't remember or know Yahiko 'invented' the 'kamiya kasshin ryu dodge knee into groin attack' (or something like that) in one of the episodes, and that is what Yutarou learned from him and used it on this man.
A/N: well that is the end of meanwhile, next we will find out what is happening with Kenshin and Kaoru, not to mention Yahiko and Kenji what is gonna happen with them? snicker snicker
Battosaichick: Ya know I almost didn't add Saitou into this story...
Saitou: And why not?
BC: because I thought it wouldn't fit. But it turns out it fit much better than having chief Umamara in there.
Saitou: Yeah who would want a stiff like him it the story?
BC: Look who's talking...
Saitou: ...
BC: ; well until next time waves
