Author's Note – IDORK (I Do Not Own Rurouni Kenshin)
Chapter Six – Chapter Six
"I swear! People in this town are so darn rude!" exclaimed Nakakaru, throwing her hands up. Tokio sighed, rubbing her temples.
"What happened this time Naka?" asked Tokio exasperatedly.
"Well, I'm at the stall for tofu and this man comes up right behind me and grabs my backside!! So of course I hit him and he gets all offended like he didn't do anything wrong!" Naka collapsed into the seat next to Tokio. "If this doesn't stop soon, then we are going to leave this town!"
Tokio thought about what Nakakaru just said. She wouldn't mind leaving the place. It was too crowded and she hated crowds. Tokio sighed, sliding her hands over the folds of her kimono, killing all of the wrinkles. It had been nearly a month since they left. No word of what happened had reached their ears at all. Not a single piece of gossip.
"I think we should head on. Get further away from here." Said Tokio, standing up.
"Why?" asked Naka.
"Well, for one thing, what is the point of going back to our home town if it has been destroyed. Also, you said we would have adventure!!" said Tokio, walking down the busy street.
"True," said Naka, walking beside her. "But, we don't even know what the next town will be like or how far it is."
"We have been working for money for over a month now. We will have enough money to buy plenty of traveling supplies." Said Tokio, jingling the little money pouch in front of her. However, it didn't stay there for long.
"Hey! Give that back you thug!" yelled Tokio as the little pouch was ripped from her hand. The man looked back but kept running. No! thought Tokio. If he got away they wouldn't have any money to leave. Taking the knife in her obi, she slit the sides of her kimono, giving her more legroom.
"Naka! Wait here!" yelled Tokio, giving chase to the man. The man was large but rather slow. However, with all of the people it was hard to follow him. This is why she hated crowds so much. Tokio saw the man take a small detour into a space between to buildings.
She skidded to a halt and looked down the alley. The man was there, frantically looking for a way out. How pathetic, the guy couldn't even rob properly. Tokio slid closer, her arms out and ready. The thug turned and charged full strength at her, obviously hoping to knock her out with brute force.
Not going to work. Tokio jumped just as he came and used his head for a hand rest, pushing off with her hand sending the man barreling into a pile of garbage. Tokio turned and walked over to the pile of rubbish, plucking the bag of cash out of the now unconscious man's hand.
"That'll teach him." Muttered Tokio to herself. She walked out of the alleyway and was making her way back to Naka when Tokio felt the skin on the back of her neck prickle slightly as though she was being watched. Twirling around quickly she looked back but found no one.
'Relax Tokio,' she thought. 'Many people would be looking at you after that little show. Just relax...'
Saitou's POV
'There she is...' Saitou stayed still in his crouched position, his eyes glinting as he watched the young woman walk back to her friend. He had no idea why he was so infatuated with her but something just kept him watching.
The two women started to walk away, finally getting lost in the crowd of people before Saitou moved to get up.
"So, who's the lucky lady?" said a voice behind him, Saitou snorted, not even bothering to turn around.
"I have no idea what you are talking about Okita." Okita smiled and sat down beside Saitou.
"Don't lie Hajime-kun. I know you all too well. Tell me though... is she pretty?" Saitou stood up and turned, leaving Okita to sit and smile.
'He's finally found someone.' Okita thought.
'Finally.'
