AN: sorry looks like I accidentally posted the wrong chapter to the wrong story please forgive me! READ ON!
Everyone was enjoying the morning breeze the next day, while watching Kaoru juggle to entertain Ayame and Suzume. Excited that she still was able to juggle, Kaoru twirled about her feet, but was tripped by an unexpected foot from her prize pupil. Laughing and pointing at her misfortune, Yahiko soon realized he better run or he was going to be in a lot of pain. All the ruckus awoke the slumbering bunny, who was not used to rising early. Everyone had thought she needed her rest and left it at that. She stepped out onto the porch and watched the two banter with a small smile on her face. 'Reminds me of Rei and myself.' She thought sadly. Kenshin had been watching her from the side and noted the sadness seeping back into her eyes. 'She reminds me a lot of myself. Secrets and hidden pain. She's trying so hard to hide the hurt.' He thought before asking her if she wanted breakfast.
At the mention of more food, Yahiko stopped running and smiled at Kenshin and Usagi.
"It's almost lunch time Kenshin. I wish we could go to the Akebeko today." He said wistfully. Kaoru had stopped in chasing Yahiko once she saw Usagi. Upon hearing Yahiko's statement she almost went off about how he lives at the dojo for free, but thought perhaps he deserved a good lunch for all the hard work he had done in training that week.
"Hold on a second, I have an idea." She ran to the near by storage shed and bouts of clatter was heard and dust was slinking out the open door. She soon appeared with a rolled up parchment for all to see. "Tada! It's an ink painting done by my grandfather, we can sell it and use the money for lunch. I'm sure Usagi would appreciate a good meal!" Kaoru exclaimed happy at the thought of beef stew and her friends.
Ayame and Suzume were ecstatic, jumping up and down and cheering. Usagi just smiled politely and nodded her head. "Come on Usagi, I'll let you borrow one of my kimonos." Kaoru dragged Usagi off to get her dressed, while Kenshin and Yahiko played with the girls.
"Thank you for being so kind and allowing me to stay in your home." Usagi spoke to Kaoru softly.
"You're welcome. I'm just glad to have another female around the dojo. If you'd like I could teach you the sword technique of my family. Well…that is when you get your strength back." Kaoru replied.
"That's a wonderful offer, but I sort of have my own fighting style. But I would love to sit and watch you teach." Usagi answered politely, trying not to give away too much of herself and past.
"What kind of fighting style do you use?" Kaoru asked curious.
"It is the technique of my family as well. We have used if for thousands of years. Perhaps one day I will show you." Usagi offered.
"That would be wonderful! I can't wait to see it. Yahiko told me you saved him from those swordsmen, but he was really vague on the details."
Usagi just smiled in return and asked for help with the obi. 'I don't know if I can get used to all this clothing.' She thought as Kaoru helped her with her hair as well.
Kaoru emerged from the doorway first and got everyone's attention. "May I present the new and improved; beautiful Rabbit of the Moon….Usagi!" She exclaimed while clapping and allowing Usagi to step through.
Usagi had stood shocked for just a moment when Kaoru had said Rabbit of the Moon, but soon stepped through the entryway. Everyone was applauding, causing a blush to rise to her cheeks.
Kenshin could not take his eyes off of her. Her hair had been put in two buns on the top sides of her head with intricate braids. A few wisps of hair framed the delicate features of her face. The kimono was of a sky blue, which brought out the blue flecks in her silver eyes. She was stunning. He smiled gently at her and helped her down the stairs. "Are you sure you want to make the journey to town?" He asked worried about her recovery.
"Of course, I'm fine. I heal quickly so don't worry about me. Let's go have a great lunch." She said smiling to reassure Kenshin as she picked up Suzume. "Lead the way." She said to Yahiko who looked so proud of her strength and beauty.
At the Akebeko, Yahiko and Usagi were both inhaling the rice and beef stew causing the others to stare and laugh at their antics. As they slowed down on Kaoru's request everyone was contently eating. The peaceful silence was soon shattered by three men arguing right across from them about democracy. The men were obviously drunk and starting to get violent. Kenshin sensed an object thrown in their direction, yet did not move his head. Before the bowl made contact with the back of his head a hand to his left reached out and caught the bowl and set it on the table. Kenshin turned his head to look at Usagi who continued to eat like nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Yahiko who had seen the whole ordeal got up and told the drunks to quiet down.
"Boy we are on a crusade for democracy, something you know nothing about!" The slurred speech came out from the frothing mouth of one of the men.
"Please sir, we don't like any trouble." Tae began but was backhanded and flung aside only to be caught by a fierce looking man. His brown eyes cold and calculating.
"Now that's no way to treat a lady." He drawled as the men began their tirade about democracy. "All I see is you three abusing your freedom to get drunk." The stranger replied.
The men were not going to tolerate being insulted and began to taunt the stranger who took no heed. Only asking if Tae was alright. Only upon hearing the three drunks wanting to fight him did he respond, "I guess I wouldn't mind picking a fight for a change." He drawled and walked outside waiting for his opponents.
"Show me what you got." He motioned for the first man. Everyone had filed outside to see the outcome of the fight. As the drunk man charged at the spiky haired stranger, Kaoru saw the hidden dagger and gasped. But to no avail the man fell at the hand of the stranger clad in white.
"Is that all you got? Fine, I'll fight you with one finger." And with that statement flicked the poor man on the forehead and that was the end of the brawl. "What a boring fight. Is there anyone in this town worth fighting?" The stranger stepped over the fallen man's body and sauntered over to the group of people, namely Kenshin whom he had seen keep one of the other men from interfering.
"You seem like a worthy opponent, wanna have a go round?" He asked the red headed rurouni.
"No thank you." Kenshin replied in kind.
"Well if you ever do I'll be down on Ruffian Row. And you lil missy got some eye." He said with a wink to Usagi as he began his trek down the road in hopes for a good fight.
"Man that guy was strong." Yahiko stated the obvious.
"Oh dear, he forgot to pay his bill." Tae stated.
Usagi was preoccupied with an evil presence she felt coming from across the way. But it soon disappeared and she let herself relax just a little as Suzume took her hand.
Later that evening, everyone was relaxing and lounging about the dojo. Usagi's head snapped up and looked to the door as Kenshin seeing her discomfort and that of his own got up to see who the visitor was. Once outside he saw the stranger from earlier.
"I've come to fight Kenshin Himura also known as Battousai the Manslayer. I Zanza, fighter for hire will defeat the strongest Imperialist." He stated
"I told you before I will not fight you." Kenshin said in regards to Zanza's statement.
"You have no choice in the matter." Zanza said as he raised the zanbatou. The winds started howling and the trees bent at their will. As suddenly as it had started it stopped and the fight began with Zanza taking the first swing. All too soon both were at a stand point, just glaring and waiting for the next move. Before any action was taken, the tiny voices of Ayame and Suzume were heard calling out for Kenshin.
"Uncle Kenny! Where are you?" The children chided coming out into the courtyard.
Everyone turned frightened for the small girls; and Usagi, Karou, and Yahiko ran over to protect them if needed.
"I don't believe women or children should bare witness to times such as these. But I've never let my mark escape, I'll be back to finish this fight." And with that last statement the fighter for hire was swaggering down the path and out the dojo gates.
Kenshin approached the crowd around the children, but Usagi met him halfway.
"I sense an evil presence." She whispered as a large limb from a tree injured in the battle fell on the unsuspecting head of the man hiding in the shadows.
The next day began as any other. Kenshin doing the laundry and Yahiko and Karou training. Ayame and Suzume were playing with Usagi on the side of the dojo, their laughter could be heard in the crisp morning air. The air shifted and Usagi knew the fighter for hire was back. She sent the girls in with their grandfather so no harm could come to them. She peered around the corner and saw Kenshin following Zanza, she made haste to follow as well.
They stopped on some rocks by the river, away from the people of the bustling town. Usagi could tell this fight was inevitable, but was not her own. So she laid in wait until she might be needed, hoping when the time came that her powers would obey.
Zanza had taken many hits when Yahiko and Karou had arrived out of breath, but he was still standing and fighting with all he was worth. He seemed adamant about loosing to an imperialist.
"We'll settle this Battousai!!! I will destroy the strongest of the imperialists!" Zanza cried as he brought his sword down.
"Such ill spirited strength cannot destroy me." Kenshin said calmly as his sakabatou met Zanza's sword.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryuu Ryuutsuisen!" Kenshin raised the attack, and yet Zanza remained standing.
"Strong, as I thought. You're the first to have taken the Ryuutsuisen and not been destroyed. But you must be using all your strength to keep to your feet. Now, wait here while I call a doctor." Kenshin said as he turned to walk away.
"In the name of Sagara and the Sekihoutai, I won't lose to an Ishin Shishi even if it means my death!" Zanza shouted to Kenshin's retreating form.
Kenshin stops mid stride and returns to the fray only to calmly punch Zanza, hoping to knock some sense into him.
"Did the Sekihoutai teach you to destroy the Ishin Shishi? Or to bring in the new era?" Kenshin took a deep breath before he continued. "Zanza, the new era isn't finished. Certainly the shape of the new age was formed ten years ago. But those who are truly in need of happiness are still in the old era where the weak are oppressed. And so in my own small way, to bring such people power, I wield this blade." He holds out the reverse blade sword for the fighter for hire to see. "For a year, or ten years, or what if the new age is eternally unfinished? I don't know, but I think this will make amends for the victims of the new age. I think it will make amends for the people Hitokiri Battousai killed." Kenshin finished sadly and turned to walk away once again.
And with that the fight left Zanza the fighter for hire and he fell to the ground in exhaustion.
"Looks like I need to take care of this myself." Gohei grumbled under his breath as he stepped from his hiding place. The unsuspecting witnesses who had rushed to see if Kenshin was alright and if the fighter for hire was down for the count and would live turned as the first shot rang out heading straight for Kenshin's heart. Kenshin didn't have time to even raise his sword and he closed his eyes expecting the impact and pain, but it never came. There was a cry from Karou.
"Usagi!" She tried to get the girls aide, who was bleeding profusely from the wound through her shoulder.
Kenshin was in shock. 'She took the bullet for me?' Bending down to check on her crumpled form, but another cry for help was heard as Gohei captured Karou and Yahiko in his unrelenting arms.
"I will kill them Battousai, because I know it will haunt your ever waking moment watching their deaths." Gohei seethed.
"Not while I'm around." Came a cold calculating voice.
Kenshin stared as Usagi rose, blood pouring out of her wound. Her eyes glinted of steel as she met Gohei's eyes. Her crescent moon shown brightly blinding him, causing him to let go of his victims. She apperated a sword that glistened in the sunlight and raised the tip to his neck.
"No one hurts my friends." She grit out between her teeth. "In the name of the Moon I will punish you." She said as a cold wind ascended on all present. The sword disappeared as she said "Love me chain encircle!" Pointing a finger at the man and wrapping the glistening chain of hearts around his arms and legs to restrain him.
"It is against everything that I am to kill another human being. But justice will be served, make no mistake about that." Her voice like ice. Gohei's struggled ceased as it was evident he was in no position to fight back and his plan had gone awry. Usagi turned towards the group and walked towards the fallen fighter for hire. He moaned as he saw the powerful woman coming towards him and attempted to get up. He wasn't going down without a fight.
"Let me help you." She stated softly catching his eyes that had widened in shock.
She moved closer and wrapped the bloody and bruised man in her own bloodied arms.
"It will be okay. I can feel your pain, and I want to help. If you will let me." She whispered as the Kenshin-gumi all stood by watching with interest. They had no idea who she was or where she came from.
Sanosuke Sagara stared into the tear filled pools she called eyes and saw the sincerity of her words, but he also saw pain behind her strong will to help others. He let himself succumb to her will and closed his eyes as she kissed his forehead. Her birthright shined once again and she saw his pain and she understood. As the glow died down a solitary tear made it's way down her cheek and onto his chest where his heart lay, and in that instant all his wounds had healed and he felt like a new person. His mind, body, and soul were filled with a warmth he had never experienced in his life. He wrapped his arms tightly around her small frame and hugged her back for all it was worth. She looked up and smiled at him and he smiled back. He looked over at Kenshin who held a smile on his face as well. Soon Kenshin was helping the two stand. Usagi was weak from the blood loss and the use of her powers. She looked into Kenshin's violet orbs and made a request. "Put me in the moonlight." As she lost consciousness falling into his waiting arms.
if stuff is spell wrong forgive me! I'm too lazy to look it up.
