I come home from my senior trip in New York City and found that Atlen
proofread my story for me!!!! (sob!) Thank you so much! (feels loved) So
that means I can post all the way up to chapter 9! YAH!!!!! Just one more
thing that I want to say if you don't care about me and just want to read
the story skip this: During the trip I think I was going through a writers
withdraw. In a window reflection on Times Square I thought I saw Suiso then
I thought I saw Kenshin walking around in the crowd, but I didn't. (sob)
I'm so glad to be able to write again.
Of course reviewers!!! Ms. Zeal – The gi Senko gave to Kenshin was maroon. Yeah, Kaoru is defiantly not my favorite character but she not all bad. (If she can make Kenshin happy again then I like her... sort of.) But I never really saw her as being very "bright" so that's how I portray her. (Remembers Saito part) Heh. I had forgotten about that! Of course now that I said that I've probably lost all my Kaoru lover readers. Oh well! That's how I feel!
Hitokiri-san – Yeah! Your story just keeps getting better and better!!! Hope all goes well with your tests! I'm glad you like it so far and I hope I make it as good as the last one for you.
Atlen – (bows) THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only do you help me with the proofreading which I could never get anyone else to do you review too! (Cries) What would I do with out you??????!!!!!!
Chapter 5 – The Man Who Smiles
Suiso gave a wide smile. "I'm glad you remember me Battòsai." His smile vanished. "Because if you didn't I would be very upset that you forgot your dear captain!"
Kenshin stepped protectively in front of Senko and Unmei stepped in front of Maki. Kaoru was left protecting Taku as they slowly backed away from Suiso. Senko's father was the first to speak. "So you're the man who took my kids from me!"
Suiso's smile returned. "And you're the man who foolishly gave me ransom money when I had no intention of returning your children."
Senko's father's hands went into fists. Before he could do something rash Kenshin spoke. "What do you want Suiso!" Kenshin took a quick glance to Kaoru trying to think of the best way to get to her without Suiso making her a target.
Suiso still wore that royal blue buttoned shirt with each button being made from gold; his buttons shown brightly as they reflected in the morning light. "What do I want?" He let out a small laugh. "I want the same thing I have always wanted Kenshin. I want to be a legend. I was so close until you stole it from me!" Suiso's cool demeanor vanished. "You set my ship on fire and you survived. Not only survived you saved that stupid girl as well!" He took a deep breath and calmed down. The smile once again on his face. "I thought my legend had burned with my ship, my power, but then" he pulled something out of his pocket. "I found this!" He held it up. It appeared to be a burnt part of his ship. "As long as I have this." He lovingly tucked it back into his pocket. "Now I can start my legend over again! I'll do it right this time. I'll break you this time!"
Kenshin's muscles tensed. He didn't want to believe that Suiso could have his power over the wind back simply by having a piece of drift wood, but he didn't doubt it. Suiso was a very cunning and dangerous man. Kaoru didn't know what to make of the whole situation but she knew enough that she had done a terrible thing bringing that man here.
"Are you ready Battòsai?" Suiso asked with a smile as he began his chant. "ï¹ï²ï´ï«ï¹ï²ï¢ï¡" Kenshin's hands and feet burned as he remembered what Suiso had told him all those years ago. "I've marked your hands and feet with special symbols that I can activate whenever, wherever I want. It takes a long time for those symbols to disappear."
Yah... another short chapter. This is another "recap" chapter I think there won't be anymore of these after this!
