The Mysterious Fighters
Chapter 3
More Fighters?


It's been about a week since the paint job. Kaoru is still getting use to it. Her dojo was blue-green.

"Maybe this will bring more students," Kaoru thought to herself. The color sure was interesting then the other dojos in town.

"Kaoru? Are you still made about the dojo?" asked Koteni, peeking in the dojo.

"It's all right Koteni. It can possibility get moor students to come now."

"Are... are you sure? I know I like it better." Koteni worried look changed to a cheery look. "Goulash!!"

"What the? What's that and were did that come from?" Asked Kaoru.

Not paying attention Koteni left the dojo. Looking behind her she then runs into Sano. She looks up and they both see eye to eye.

"Aaaaaah?" Sano then ran away.

"Bye, bye," Koteni waves to Sano who ran out of sight.

"What was that all about?" Asked Neko coming around the corner. Koteni then looks at Neko and grins. "Are you scaring poor Sano again?" She then posed for a minute. "Your having too much fun Sis. Lets go train shell we."

"Hai?" Koteni starts skipping to the room.

Latter that day Neko was waiting out side the dojo. She seemed to be waiting for something.

"They're not here yet? It's about time isn't is? I was having too much fan and almost forgot about them," said Koteni. About five minutes after, Koteni and Neko suddenly see two shadows coming towards them.

"Oro, Not more," said Kanshin coming out of the dojo seeing the same thing. Neko stood up and walked to the shadows. They slowly came in view to Neko.

"Aiko, Jessie! I'm glad to see you." Neko ran to both of them and gave them hugs.

"I haven't seen Neko like this not sense... Back then," Kenshin thought to himself while watching Neko. Neko was so happy to see those two. Jessie is a swordsman and Aiko a ninja same as Neko and Koteni.

"Your finally here!" Koteni ran up to Aiko and glumped her, after to Jessie.

"Wow! How long has it been now? A month, two?" Asked Neko.

"About three months," answered Jessie.

Aiko Natsume has light brown hair with dark green eyes. Her outfit was similar to Kotenis but yet different. The top was the same but the sleeves were shorter. The skirt went to her knee and looks like a schoolgirl skirt. The color though for Aiko was Black with dark violet for the rims.

Jessie Kaiba has light brown hair that was short, to her shoulders. Her eyes a nice green, brown. Her pants are like Neko but a dark violet. The top on the other hand was more like Yahikos, but instead a solid dark lavender. Just the same as Neko and Koteni, they travel together. With out any exact destination.

"Hay, Aiko, lets duel." Koteni said while getting into a fighting stance.

"All right."

Aiko and Koteni then start to fight. Koteni suddenly disappear. Then you see Aiko bending down with a sweep, knocking Koteni down. Yet it wasn't for long, she jumps back up to her feet. Aiko then seen from the air, Koteni steps to the side. The battle went on like this for about a half of an hour. Everyone watching very entertain.

"Hum, were did Neko go?" Asked Yahiko.

"Great, she's going to do it again," Mentioned Jessie.

"Do what?" Asked Kaoru.

"You'll see," answered Jessie

All of the sudden you see Neko with a big grin on her face. Holding above her head was a table.

CRAK! Neko knocked the table over Aiko head. The table is now broken in two.

"Hehe, Now how many times has it been now," said Neko.

"Oh rats, I gees you got me again."

"Hay Kaoru, Is it all right if these two stay with us?" asked Neko

"Sure why not. I'm going to get dinner ready."

"Oh man why can't Kenshin cook?" complained Yahiko.

"I would but I'm going to town to get some more rice, that I am," said Kenshin putting his hand on Yahinko's shoulder.

"Then I'll come!"

"No you stay here Yahiko and help Miss. Kaoru. Besides I need time to think." Kenshin then left.

"Miss Kaoru, this is Jessie Kaiba and Aiko Natsume..."

Interrupting Koteni, Neko asks, "May we use you dojo to train?"

"Why not, go a head," answered Kaoru.

"Thank you!" All four of them said at once.

Kaoru heads to the kitchen to cook. Sano went to the clinic to see Megumi. Yahiko outside playing with Ayame and Suzume. The four fighters were in the dojo. Kenshin is in town getting some rice. Latter Kenshin gets back.

"Uncle Ken! Uncle Ken!" Ayame and Suzume run up to Kenshin.

"Hay, you two. How about you go tell Miss Kaoru I'm back along with Yahiko, will you."

"Okay! Yahiko lets go tell Aunt Kaoru that Uncle Ken's back." The two little girls dragging Yahiko to he Kitchen. "This why!"

"I'm coming," said Yahiko stopping the two girls from dragging him.

"Uncle Ken's back!"

"Great, did he have the rice?" asked Kaoru.

"Right here, that it is."

"Kenshin! Will you tell everyone that dinner is almost ready." Asked Kaoru

"Did I hear that dinner is ready?" Sano said after just getting back from the clinic with Megumi. "Oh the fax is here as well."
"Well there should be enough for Megumi also."

Kenshin already left to tell everyone. Arriving at the dojo, he watched until the bout was finish.

"Dinner is almost ready, that it is."

"All right, Great! I'm starving," said Koteni to what Kenshin just said.

"Your always starving after training," mentioned Aiko.

"Well that's true," said Jessie laughing slightly.

Kenshin then went to get some water ready for the laundry and for washing up before they eat. Neko went to the room before every one else. She sees a rose with a note. It was address to her.

To Neko: A Red Rose For the Dragon.

"Hum, sweet smell," said Neko under her breath. Everyone is now just getting in.

"A rose ha?" said Aiko giving Neko a huge.

"Yap."

They then all head out to wash up after changing. Everyone is now gathered around the table to eat.

"To worn you Kaoru cooking is really bad."

"Yahiko it's not! It's highly delicious."

"While thank you Koteni."

"Your welcome Kaoru," Koteni then start scuffing down some riceballs.

"You look nice miss," said Sanosuke to Jessie who was wearing a red kimono.

"Thank you, but this isn't mine its Neko's. I need to go shopping."

Jessie was wearing one of Neko's kimonos and Aiko was wearing a yellow kimono of Koteni's.

"Oh Kaoru, Caption Sagara supposed to be here tomorrow. I want you to meet him, You too Kenshin."

"Sounds fine to me, that it does," Kenshin gives Sano a friendly smile.

After dinner Sano and Megumi went home taking the girls home. (Ayame and Suzume) Kenshin took the dishes to wash them. Yahiko and Kaoru went to bed. The four girls went to the room they were staying in.

"What was that all about?" asked Megumi to Sano after dropping the girls home.

"What?" responded Sanosuke

"Back at dinner. "You look nice" to that girl."

"I didn't mean anything about it. It was just a compliment."

"Just a compliment. You never give me a compliment."

"How about you stay at my place to night."

"Well ... I'm not sure?"

"How about yes," Sano than grabbed Megumi and kissed her.

The seen goes back to Neko and the others

"So what did you find out?" asked Neko.

"Well that its hidden deep in this forest here," Jessie pulled out a map and pointed to a forest near Mount. Fuji. "Now here is the easiest route we found." She then points to a path leading in to the forest.

"But unfortunately there is no known path once we get in the forest," added Aiko. "But we do have some hints to were it lies. The rest we have to do on our own."

"That forest right?" asked Neko pointing to the forest.

"Yes," answered Aiko.

"Isn't that the one forest sissy?"

"Yes Koteni, it is," said Neko answering Kotenis question.

"What about it?" Asked Aiko.

"That forest is the forest known for traps," said Neko. "They say once someone goes in they are never seen again. We should get some help with us."

"Kenshin and the others might help," mentioned Koteni.

"Yes we can also get the Obewamba group to help also." Koteni gibes Neko an evil glare for saying that. "Well its getting late so lets us get some rest. There's going to be long days ahead of us."

"Right," said Aiko and Jessie. Everyone hens went to sleep except Neko. Few minute latter Koteni notices that Neko was still up.

"What's up sissy?"

"Oh Koteni, Just thinking," Neko was trolling the rose.

"About the note and rose?"

"Yes but also about what's coming up"

"Oh, well get some sleep okay. Oyasami."

"Oyasami, I'm going to go to bed in a few more minutes." Neko then pulls out some paper and a pen. She started to right a note to the Obewamba Group in Kyoto. Then she blows the candle out and went to sleep.
