'Da claimer of 'da diss: not mine

It was a dark, quiet night. The hour was late and the city of Kyoto was asleep. All asleep, it seemed, except for one lone figure perched on the rooftop. The full moon cast his shadow down onto a dark alley. His dark form was unmoving, a gargoyle waiting to spring to life at the call of his master.

Henya crouched, wrapped in his dark cloak, on one of the rooftops of Kyoto (Assume this is before he dies or goes to jail or whatever). He was 'Soaring Henya', working under Makoto Shishio, and he had an important job to do this night. He began scanning the alleys for his victim.

[The final battle of the Shimabara arc, Kenshin versus The Son Of God Dude (whatever his name was)] [I don't remember the exact dialogue so I'll wing it, please forgive my lack of memorizing every single episode]

After a long, hard battle, both men were worn out, bleeding profusely. Kenshin had been knocked around by so many attacks that he should have, technically, died, but this is anime, so screw the laws of medicine!

Kenshin straightened himself up and proceeded to look very cool–with his shirt hanging open, of course. [Meanwhile, hundreds of fangirls were electrocuted. The police would never figure out why they found so many girls lying dead near a fried TV-set, and, when the autopsy was preformed, the electric shock seemed to have entered through their tongues.] Back to Kenshin. He declared, "Only our Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki will decide this battle, and who is really the strongest."

"My Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki will defeat you, and my people will be able to practice Christianity in the Land of God, and they will be free to wear such hideously uncoordinated outfits as the one I am currently displaying."

On the sidelines, Yahiko whispered to Kaoru, "Do ya think their gonna use the Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki?"

Kaoru whacked him upside the head and replied, "Queit, Yahiko! I want to see Kenshin use his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki!"

"You want to see down Kenshin's shirt as he uses his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki, more like," drawled Saitou, who had just appeared randomly.

"Oh Saitou! What are you doing here? Kenshin's just about to use his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki!" Kaoru said, surprised.

"Yes, we have already repeatedly established the fact that Kenshin's about to use his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki, and I have come to see his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki, and determine whether his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki or my Gattoutsu would win in a contest of swordsmanship," Saitou said, all in one breath, so that he doubled over and began gasping. "Damn, I hope being doubled over and gasping doesn't mean that I have to miss his Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki."

Yahiko, unable to hold onto the premise of being stupid and little anymore, declared sarcastically, "I sure do love the dramatic buildup to important moves such as the—No! I must fight the urge...can't...hold on...urghh... Amakakeru ryuu no Hirameki!"

Finally, Kenshin and The Son of God Dude charged each other and began to yell, in unison, "Hiten Mitsurugi style...Amakakeru ryuu no ugh!"

"Ryuu no ugh?" asked Yahiko bewilderedly.

As the dust cleared, the onlookers saw Kenshin and T.S.O.G.D jumbled in a heap. Everyone was silent for a beat, and then there came a sound so foreign to this earth that many had to cover theirs ears and the ears of the small children, for fear that they would be traumatized for life. Saitou was laughing, for the second time in this story.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! YOU SEE NOW THE TRUE WEAKNESS OF THE HITEN MITSURUGI STYLE NOW!!! THEIR MOVE NAMES ARE SO LONG, THEY CAN'T GET TO THE ATTACK SOON ENOUGH BEFORE THEY RUN INTO EACHOTHER!!!!

The jumble of bodies made a noise that sounded distinctly like an oro.

The angry mews of an alley cat that alerted Henya that he had finally found his victim. He had searched for many year to find the one who would fight by his side loyally, and together they would rule Gotham City! ...I mean Kyoto.

He spread his wings wide an swooped into the alley, plucking the cat from the street and landing back on the rooftop in one soaring motion.

"I dub thee Robin, protector of Gotham City and sidekick to Batman, the Dark Knight!" He spread his wings wide, exposing the bat symbol on his chest. "It is time for your first test!"

Yahiko was walking Tsubame home from the Akabeko, because he didn't want her on the streets alone at this hour. It was the full moon. Again. They had a full moon at least twice a week, because it was the most dramatic for battles and love scenes. They had been silent for the entire time, and he was quite surprised when Tsubame said his name in her quiet voice.

"...Yahiko? Can I ask you something?"

"...Sure, Tsubame, anything you'd like." He steadied himself for a confession of undying love, and began planning his equally passionate response.

"...Yahiko, why...why is the moon green?"

Yahiko did a magnificent face fall, anime-style.

"...Yahiko?"

A few moments later, the cat was clothed in a ridiculous spandex outfit, including a green face mask. The cat had squirmed and howled and clawed, but Henya had still put it in the outfit, and was preparing the first test.

"And now, your first test. Robin, the feline wonder, my sidekick, can fly. With your magical cape, you will soar through the skies like no animal of your species has before. Fly now, my friend, show me the power of the bat! Be free! FLY!" He grabbed the cat and pitched it off the roof of the building.

[After the Shishio arc, when they have returned to Kyoto.]

"Kenshin, what's wrong? You've barely eaten since we got back from Kyoto." It was dinnertime at the Dojo, and Kaoru was getting worried. Megumi said Kenshin was fine, and he would get his strength back soon. Was there some internal injury that Megumi had not found? "You need to eat to get your strength back! Are you still hurt?"

"No, that is not what is bothering Sessha, that it is not."

"Well, what is it then? MY COOKING?"

"No Miss Kaoru, your cooking is very nice, that it is."

"WELL THEN WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?"

Kenshin figured now was the time to tell her. Sano and Yahiko had eaten at light speed, then left to continue with whatever it was that they did in their spare time. "Well...you see Miss Kaoru...Sessha went to pay a visit to master Hiko before we left Kyoto..."

"...AND?"

"When Sessha got there...Shishou was...well...he was busy."

"What's so bad about that?"

"Sessha doesn't mean that he was busy, Sessha means the he was BUSY."

"Huh?"

"Shishou was uh...doing...you-know-what."

"Oh," Thinking about it for a moment, Kaoru came up with something much more dramatic. "OH MY GOD YOU MUST SEE THAT EVERY TIME YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES!!! YOU POOR GUY!!" She gave him a very unexpected hug.

After a few moments of comfort in Kaoru's arms, Kenshin whispered "...And that's not even the worst part."

"...Kenshin?"

"...He didn't even take off his cape."

"OH MY GOD!! Hold me Kenshin!"

SPLAT.

Damn. Another Robin had fallen to his doom tonight.

"...Looks like I'm gonna have to wash that costume..."

No kitties were harmed in the making of this Fanfic.
