Hey, I'm sorry for taking so long to update this for the two readers I have. . . It makes me sad. (TT) R&R (maybe I should advertise . . .)

Chapter 12

Kamon Versus Himoura the Batosai and Zanza, Fighter for Hire

We find our hero in a strange predicament, Yuffie and Mia are fighting over him.

"Hey, um," he tried to say, "Can I just-"

"You stay out of this!" the girls yelled in unison.

"Excuse me," someone said from out of the fray.

"WHAT!" yelled the girls.

They were staring at a samurai about five feet tall with long red hair and a cross shaped scar on his left cheek, he had a seemingly gentle look about him, though he did carry a sword.

"Do you happen to know where I might find a man by the name of Kamon?" asked the samurai.

"That's me!" shouted Kamon, eager to get away from the quarreling girls.

"Pleased to meet you," the man said as he bowed, "I am Kenshin the Wanderer."

Kamon and Kenshin became quick friends.

"I heard you were one of the favorites to win the tournament," Kenshin said to Kamon in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I heard that about you though," said Kamon.

"Well I'm not as strong as you thought," said Kenshin, "I'm surprised I made it this far."

"So, you're Zanza?" said Kamon as he saw a brown haired fighter enter the ring.

"You can't be my opponent, can you?" said a disappointed Zanza.

Zanza is only this fighter's nickname. His real name is Sanosuke. He has received this name for the reputation he holds, which is he always gets the job done. He appears to be an ally, though he does wear the Japanese symbol for "bad" on the back of his shirt.

Kamon drew his sword as Zanza picked up his zanbatou. A zanbatou blade is known for its size and weight, few people have been able to master this weapon to its full potential. A zanbatou is about nine feet long and three feet thick, and made of solid steel.

Kamon stared in awe as Zanza lifted the nine foot sword into the air.

"I'll finish you quickly," yelled Zanza, swinging his sword down at Kamon.

Kamon quickly moved out of the way. He noticed Zanza fought a lot like Cloud, he used power to overwhelm his opponents. Kamon then realized that the sword's hilt was made of wood, meaning it could easily be cut in half.

Kamon swiped at the hilt of Zanza's sword and made sure the sword was not going to be killing him. Zanza was enraged with this new tactic, he threw down the part of his sword he was still holding and began to fist-fight Kamon. He dealt Kamon a devastating blow to the stomach, leaving Kamon on the ground gasping for air.

As Kamon regained his composure, he lifted his shield to keep Zanza from hitting his body. Zanza didn't seem to be afraid to hit the shield, because he kept on hitting the shield. The shield had begun to bend and eventually broke under the force Zanza was putting against it.

Kamon took the now useless shield and threw it at Zanza's head. Zanza was strangely, knocked out by the flying shield.

"I'm proud that you were able to beat Sanosuke," said Kenshin, "the first time I met him, he was very strong."

"You knew him?" said an astounded Kamon.

"Kamon!" Link yelled from a distance, "I have the name of your next opponent. It appears he was once known as a manslayer."

Subchapter 1

Kamon Versus Link

"This is going to be practice for you," said Link as he drew his sword.

Kamon drew his sword and prepared to fight. Link charged at Kamon with tremendous speed. Kamon dodged and used a fire spell, but Link was protected by a blue barrier.

"You're not the only swordsman who can use magic," said Link.

Link pulled out a boomerang and threw it at Kamon. Kamon dodged it but collided with Link's sword.

"Enough!" said Link, "We'll stop before you get killed."

As Kenshin entered the ring, Kamon was very surprised.

"You were known as a manslayer?" said Kamon in awe.

"It is not a past that I am proud of," said Kenshin, "So shall we start this fight?"

Kenshin drew his Reverse Blade sword and prepared to fight, as did Kamon.
