A/N: Hi everyone! Well I've decided to get this story moving along for a couple of reasons. ONE! This was starting to get annoying to write… I really get bored sometimes writing fight scenes. TWO! I'm guessing fight scenes get pretty boring to read after awhile. THREE! I don't think this is one of my best stories. I liked the idea… I just wrote it really bad. FOUR! Mom has found out I've been working on fanfics instead of my own stories and is getting on my case to stop writing them. FIVE! I want to get it done before it gets too long!
Just one more note! Remember when Senko and Maki talk in Gaelic (did I spell that right? Oh well it's the Irish langue) their speech is in insert text here.

Chapter 10 - Enter Chou
Chou watched Kenshin fight in a couple more fights and let his men fall into their positions around the building. The fights were really short; it was obvious Kenshin was out of everyone's league. After Kenshin had knocked yet another man out of the ring Chou prepared himself to start the signal.
The announcer ran up to Kenshin and once more rose his arm in victory. "Who can stop the unstoppable Himshin Kenura? Are there anymore challengers brave enough to take him on?"
"I am." A cocky, pleased sounding voice echoed out. Kenshin turned to see who the familiar sounding voice belonged to and felt himself surprised to see Chou standing there. "But I'm not just challenging him." Chou gave a smirk. "I'm challenging everyone in here." A uproar begin as angry shouts were shot up at Chou. "Good luck getting out of this one Himura." Chou took a whistle that hung around his neck and blew into it in three quick bursts. Suddenly from all directions police emerged through the doors.
"DAMN YOU BROOM HEAD!" Sano called up through the panicked mob that had instantly formed. "Why'd ya have to go and do that!?"
Chou merely laughed. "I'll tell you why after you've moved into your cell Rosterman!"
"WHY YOU!" Sano moved to pound Chou but Kenshin grabbed his arm.
"Not now Sano we have to get out of here!" He looked around for Kaoru and Yahiko but he couldn't find them. He grabbed both of Sanosuke's arms. "Where's Miss Kaoru and Yahiko?" Sanosuke scanned the crowd and spotted them.
"Over there! Oh man! They're going to be arrested!" He yelled as he saw a police officer running towards their friends. Together the two ran off to help their friends.
"Hold it right there!" The officer yelled to Kaoru and Yahiko. Yahiko grabbed his shinai and rushed at the officer with a yell. Yahiko landed a hit to the officer's stomach and the man began to cough. Yahiko quickly positioned himself behind the man and landed a hard blow to the back of his head. The man fell to the ground just as Kenshin and Sano were able to push themselves threw the crowd to their friends.
"Are you alright?" Kenshin asked.
Yahiko stuck out his chest. "Of course we are! I'm hear after all."
Sanosuke opened his mouth to send out an insult when Kenshin stopped him. "Where's Maki and Senko?"
Everyone looked around them as the ruckus grew louder and louder and the crowd became more pussy. "I don't see them anywhere!" Kaoru yelled over the noise.
"Do you think they got arrested?" Sano asked as he was elbowed hard in the back. "HEY WATCH IT!" He yelled turning to the man that had hit him and hitting him back. As the man fell back into more people Sano addressed his friends. "We have to get out of here!"
Yahiko was pushed. "How!" He pushed back. "Everyone is going crazy!" All four were being pushed around and moving proved to be difficult.
"That's it! I'm making us a path!" Sano yelled angrily as he began to push people out of his way. "Where's the doors."
"They will be block!" Kenshin shouted over the noise. Just then someone tugged on his hair. "OW!" Kenshin yelled his eye's watering. Another person stepped on Kaoru's foot making her cry out. Yahiko got an elbow to the back of his head. Someone got shoved into Sanosuke. Everyone was very upset when a yell echoed through the building.
"BATTOSAI!" Everyone's eyes moved up and there standing on a window sill was Maki. In her hand was a rope which she threw down to the small group. Kaoru grabbed the rope first and was pulled up. Next was Yahiko. As Maki lowered the rope once more an officer finally spotted them in their escape.
"HEY! YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!" He yelled as he tried to push his way toward Sanosuke and Kenshin.
"Get going Sano!" Kenshin yelled as Maki tried to pull him up.
"What about you?" He shouted back as he began to climb the rope to save Maki the trouble of trying to pull it.
"This one will be fine." Kenshin answered confidently.
"Just don't do anything stupid." Sano called back as he quickly climbed the rope and jumped from the window.
"Here Himura!" Maki yelled down as she began to lower the rope but it wasn't necessary. Just as the officer reached Kenshin he jumped high into the air and gracefully landed next to Maki on the window sill. The officer's mouth dropped and Maki stared wide-eyed. "Never mind then…" She said climbing down the latter propped up against the wall and down to the ground where the others were waiting. Once everyone's feet were on the ground the group ran far from the battle.
After they felt they were far enough away they slowed their pace and Kenshin finally got to asked the question he had been wanting to ask. "How did you know I was the Battòsai?"
Maki giggled a little. "It wasn't that hard to tell. You had red hair, a cross shaped scar on your left check, used the Hiten Mitsurugi, and your name! Who came up with that one!" Maki burst out laughing as Kenshin gave Sanosuke a death glare.
"So you knew the whole time?" Kaoru asked once Maki had gained a little more control over herself.
"Yes, but I figured you had a good reason for not wanting everyone to know who you where. So I just played along." She looked over to Kenshin. "If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be able to walk around with out our cloaks. Thank-you so much."
"Yes thank-you." Senko added.
"This one did nothing that is worth thanking." Kenshin said casting his eyes to the ground.
Maki's hand went up and she back-handed Kenshin's head. "BAKA!" She yelled as Kenshin fell to the ground. (A/N: Baka means idiot. I try to keep my stories mostly English but sometimes I can't help myself)
Kaoru ran and tried to shake Kenshin out of his stupor. "Kenshin!"
"My name is Himshin, Kenura; that it is." Kenshin mumbled as his eyes continued to swirl.
# # #
Chou looked over the men that they had arrested looking for Kaoru, Sanosuke, Kenshin, and Yahiko. "Where are they?" He mumbled going from cell to cell. He sighed knowing that they must have gotten out. "Oh well. Old shit-face should be happy with this anyway." He walked off to fill out the rest of the reports. The boring old reports.
# # #
"So where are you going?" Senko asked after the group had started to walk again.
"Tokyo. But this one doesn't think we have all the funds we need to make it to Tokyo." Kenshin sighed out sadly.
"What do you mean?" Maki said confusion clearly written on her face. Kenshin just stared blankly at her. "You fought in so many matches. You should have had enough money to get back to Tokyo before you fought me. Ya might even have enough now to go to Tokyo and back three times!" Maki explained.
"Sano." Kenshin grumbled noticing him trying to sneak off. "Is that true?"
"Well I just figured… well you know… we… uh…" Sano looked up to the sky as he stumbled on his words. "We can travel it style this way!"
"How much money did we win!" Yahiko asked practically jumping up and down.
Kenshin stuck out his hand. "I would like the money I earned." He said losing his clam and friendly manner. Sano sighed but reached into his pocket and pulled out a purse of money. He placed it in Kenshin's hand and Kenshin noticed it was FAR to light for something that was suppose to be holding enough money for three trips to Tokyo. "All of it." Again Sano sighed and gave Kenshin the rest of his money.
"I can't believe you used Kenshin liked that!" Kaoru yelled at Sanosuke.
"What did you think I was going to do with it? Gamble it away?" Sanosuke said as a joke.
"YES!" Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko yelled at the top of their lungs.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE SO SELFISH!" Kaoru yelled failing her fists at Sano.
"Now, now Miss Kaoru." Kenshin said lowing her fists. "I will forgive Sano if he promises to do a favor when we get back to Tokyo."
Sanosuke's face brightened. "Sure I would!"
"No matter what this one asks?" Kenshin said already knowing what it was.
"Yup."
"Kenshin! I can't believe you're going to let him off that easy!" Kaoru complained but Kenshin simply laughed at some joke only he knew.
Sister, do you think they are ALWAYS like this? Senko asked Maki.
Maki was trying to stifle a laugh. I don't know. But they are funny aint they?
Aye. Senko watched a few more moments as Kaoru and Yahiko began to fight over something. Ye don't suppose they'll kill themselves do ye?
Maki broke out in laughter. Let's hope not.
Just one more note! Remember when Senko and Maki talk in Gaelic (did I spell that right? Oh well it's the Irish langue) their speech is in insert text here.
