The Restoration

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenshin woke up a week later. His bright amethyst eyes smoldered in the crimson twilight. It was morning; Sano had slept over that night. He still laid in his sleeping bag next to the bed, only russet hair sticking out from the top. Kenshin smiled, "Sano, Sano." He whispered. Sano then rolled round in his sleeping bag. "Sano get up." Kenshin said loudly. Both Kenshin and Sano sat up, feeling the morning breeze sway into the window. Kenshin quickly jumped out of bed and quickly put on black shorts and threw on a black shirt, tying his fiery hair back into a ponytail. Sano did the same, putting on a pair of red shorts and his white sweatshirt.

"Did you hear about the new kid, I think he's 20 something.." Sano said with a smirk, "Lets go hang with him today."

Kenshin smiled. "Sounds like a good plan."

Sano and Kenshin walked out of Kenshin's room and jumped over the same trinkets and piles of clothes he had the weeks before. Jumping down a flight of stairs he saw a repair guy working on the computer. "It's about time." Kenshin thought to himself.

They hopped into Sano's mustang; it was red and had a leather interior. Driving down Sakura Tr. they stopped at a Japanese styled house at the far end of the neighborhood to see a male about 20 years old lounging outside.

Kenshin and Sano rolled down the windows. "Hey new dude, wanna come hang with us?!" Sano yelled. The man lowered the volume of his c.d. player and sat up. "Sure, why not." He said walking to the car. "Murakotou I'm gunna hang with some friends." He yelled before jumping into the car.

Once getting the car started and hearing the purr of the engine they were off and headed to the local bar. "So what's your name?" Kenshin asked. "The names Saitou, Hajime Saitou." He said. Saitou has slick black hair and a narrow face, with a pair of intense course flaxen eyes. He wore a dark blue shirt over a black tight tank top to show off his toned body. Navy blue shorts and vans sneakers, the kind of guy everyone would like to hang out with right? Yeah.

"I heard stories of some kid named Hitokiri Battousai, you guys know him?" Saitou asked.

"Your looking at him." Kenshin said and turned around with a smile, "That was my nickname when I was younger, I did some pretty stupid things.."

Saitou smirked. "Glad to meet you Battousai, but could I get your real name?"

"Kenshin, Kenshin Himura."

"I think I like Battousai better, and you?"

"Sanosuke Sagara, but you can call me Sano."

"You remind me of a rooster..."

"Hey--"

"I think I will call you Rooster head from now on."

"You just shut up."

"Now Sano, don't be rude."

"But Kenshin--"

"Now that I look at it you do remind me of a rooster Sano."

"Ugh, not you to..."

The car was filled with laughter. All but Sano, our rooster head, that is.

"And what about this Aoshi Shinomouri character? I heard that he burned a kid named Shishihou, but then they found that that they were related."

Suddenly the car fell dead silent.

"They both disappeared; about a week ago...Aoshi said that he had some business to take care of... I don't believe him..." Kenshin said sorely.

"We don't really talk about them anymore." Sano said.

Saitou then dropped his head, but an evil glow seemed to fill his body. Kenshin turned around, he suddenly began to feel very nervous, his palm began to sweat. "Who is this guy?" Kenshin thought to himself. "Does he have anything to do with Aoshi?"

Kenshin Himura, Sanosuke Sagara, and Hajime Saitou continued to drive, but something was diffidently going wrong...
