Hitokiri of the Bloodless Moon: Okay, so I hope you guys like this ficci. I don't usually write something revolving around Yahiko and Tsabuma but I thought that I could give it a try. I am only writing this as a trial ficci, so I will need at least 2-3 reviews in order to continue this.

Summary: Yahiko saves the Akabeko from a member of a member of the local Tokyo Yakuuza group. But what happens when the group wants revenge? What if Yahiko suddenly realizes his feelings for Tsabuma?

TOKYO SAMURAI

Chapter 1: Trouble at the Akabeko




Yahiko whistled as he sunk his hands into the soupy water that he washing dishes in. There was a pile of dirty dishes as the patrons of the Akabeko kept ordering whatever they wished from the menu. Currently, Tsabuma and Tea were running around and attending to their demands.

Tsabuma then came into the kitchen, she shyly looked over to where Yahiko stood before the very wide bucket that was used as a wash bucket. Yahiko smiled at her as she moved through the kitchen.

"HAY, MORE SAKE OVER HERE!" someone yelled. Tsabuma quickly gathered the needed jugs and dishes with the food and went back to the main dinning room. Yahiko turned back to the dishes; he then heard a blood curdling scream from the dinning room. Yahiko quickly grabbed his bakken before running out to the living room to see what had happened.

When Yahiko got to the dinning room he noticed a particularly seedy man yelling at the owner of the Akabeko, Tea; he wanted the money that she had collected that morning. He was a tall man, with dark black hair and ugly brown eyes, he also had a full beard that looked like it hadn't been washed in ages.

"Hay you! Leave Tae-san alone!" Yahiko yelled as he held his bakken ready and his feet in a battle ready stance. The man did not seem at all deterred, he laughed at Yahiko as he swung the knife he was holding to bare on the boy.

"give me the money woman before the boy gets it," the man said.

"Yeah right, let me show you what Myojin Yahiko the Tokyo Samurai can do!" Yahiko retorted, then he launched himself at the man, the way he had seen Kenshin do it many time before; Yahiko hit the man straight in the shoulder then stuck his leg out and swung it in a wide arc, taking out the mans right leg. The man landed on hid back. Yahiko held his bakken at the ready.

"Now, get out before you feel the real wrath of this Samurai!" Yahiko said dangerously. There was nothing else for the man to do, so he decided to take this chance and leave; but not before he said one last remark.

"I will get you, just wait and see!" the man yelled before running out of the restaurant and down the road. Then, a burst of clapping could be heard, followed by others and soon, the whole restaurant and passer-by's were clapping at the display of power and control the young boy had shown.

Yahiko nervously smiled and scratched the back of his head. Tsabuma came up to him suddenly pecked a this check, which made many of the other men and boys in the restaurant clap even more loudly and whistle shrewdly at the young boy and girl, in which case made both girl and boy blush like no tomorrow.

"Thank you for taking care of that man," Tae said as she walked up to Yahiko.

"Oh, it was nothing," Yahiko said as he scratched his head a little more.

"Thank you for saving the money, Yahiko," Tsabuma said as she shyly looked at the floor.

"Don't worry about it Tsabuma-chan," Yahiko replied.

Yahiko whistled to himself as he walked home after the incident at the Akabeko. Yahiko was very proud of himself for taking on that man; in fact, he hadn't realized that it only had taken two moves to take the man down. That was something new, Yahiko knew that Kenshin could do that with his Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, but Yahiko had been severely surprised that he had taken a man down in almost as many moves in such a different style.

When Yahiko walked into the yard of the dojo, he noticed that everything was extremely normal. Kenshin was washing the laundry, Kaoru was running through some kata that he had yet to learn, and Sano was dozing on the porch of the dojo. Yahiko first started to Kenshin.

"Konnichi wa, how was work to day?" Kenshin asked.

"Oi, I washed dishes, cleaned up some tables, took down some ahou with a knife in two moved," Yahiko replied.

"You did what?" Kaoru asked. Her curiosity picked up at that last.

"Well, remember the shoulder strike that I blended with a leg sweep?" Yahiko asked.

"Hai," Kaoru replied as she jogged up to the boy and man.

"I used it this afternoon on him, he was going to steal the money that Tae-san collected from the morning sales," Yahiko said.

"Good job Yahiko, I knew that you were just perfect for the next apprentice of Kamiya Kasshin," Kaoru said happily.

"Yeah? Well the way I remember it, Kenshin had to push us both into it, Ugly!" Yahiko replied as he stuck his tongue out at the dojo instructor.

"WHY YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Kaoru yelled, she had her shinai in her hand since she had been practicing before, and therefore, started to beat Yahiko over the head with it.

Yahiko retaliated and soon the two were in a mock battle.

"Oro?" Kenshin asked no one in particular before he turned back to the laundry.

Hitokiri of the Bloodless Moon: Okay, I know it lacks details, but, I will work on it. I have never written a fic that revolved around Yahiko so much, I think this is fun and hope you all enjoy this. Now, I need 2-3 reviews in order to update.

Next Chapter: Yahiko and Tsabuma get some time alone. An evil plot is hatched to get back at the 'Tokyo Samurai'.

By the way, I titled this ficci, 'Tokyo Samurai' because it is all about Yahiko, well, the story revolves around him. This fic is also the product of watching a Jet Lee movie. Please review.
