"Speech"
'Thoughts'
Chapter 2 Meetings
After a week here at the dojo, I was convinced everyone here was insane. I walked by Kenshin, scrubbing away at the wash tub. 'That just proves my point! He's the Battosai, why is always doing chores?' Not only that, he was always being beat up by Kaoru. Not that the girl didn't have some real talent, but it wasn't much compared to his.
Yahiko and Sano were just anther story altogether. The kid needs to keep his ego in check constantly, and Sano was just a pathological freeloader. And that doctor, dear lord. 'Stop flirting with Kenshin just to make Kaoru mad!'
"It's obvious who Kenshin really cares about!" I mumbled under my breath.
"Excuse me miss, can Shessa help you with something?"
'Shit!' I whipped around, smile already in place, "Nope I'm good!"
"Alright let me now if you do." He said and went back to his laundry.
"Will do." I said edging away. Ok, so I'm not the poster child for normal behavior either….. But still….
Yahiko's yell broke my train of thought, "Hey Busa what are we having for lunch today?" His remark was promptly followed by a loud whack!
"I told you not to call me that Yahiko-chan!"
"Pease, please let's everyone calm down!" pleaded Kenshin, trying in vain to pry the two apart.
After everybody had calmed down Kenshin said "To answer your question Yahiko, we could have some miso soup."
"Ohhh why can't we go to the Akebeco?" Yahiko whined (AN: That's the restaurant they're always eating at. I just can't spell it…)
"Because we don't have-" Kaoru stopped in mid-sentence.
"Wait a minute!" she said and went into the shed. She dug around for a moment, before she came out with a scroll. She unfolded it and showed it to everyone.
"Not only was my grandfather a master swordsman, he was also a master painter." Everyone stared at her.
"Don't you get it? We can sell this for money!"
She rubbed the scroll to her face "Oh thank you Grandpa." Sweat drop
"Well what are we waiting for then!" shouted an excited Yahiko. They started to leave when they noticed I wasn't following them.
"Aren't you coming miss?" asked Kenshin.
"Nope, I want to finish up my training for the day." I said with the usual smile plastered in place. This was partly true.
"Alright then, don't work yourself to hard." he said giving me a strange look.
"If only all my students were this dedicated." Kaoru said with a wistful sigh, giving Yahiko a look.
"What's that supposed to mean Busa?" yelled an enraged Yahiko.
"Now, now-" started Kenshin as they headed down the road. 'Finally' thought with a sigh of relief. I've had to sneak out at night to do my real training. 'Now I just have to pray the rooster head doesn't show up'. I thought taking out my weapon of choice. (AN: Bet you can't guess what it is ;)
I looked at the steel fan taking in every detail of it. I traced my fingers over the strong dark wood that made up the frame, feeling each and every grain beneath my touch . My eyes moved to the steel sheets, each piece a work of art. Thin to give a sharp edge, but practically unbreakable. To disguise it further as a regular fan, the craftsmen had painted on a branch of pink and white sukara blossoms. I turned it over and read the message on back.
"May this fan slash through its veil of beauty, to reveal its true nature and protect anyone dear to it's wielder" I smiled to myself. 'He always was a something of a poet'. I reread the line and touched the fan's twin, tucked away in my obi. 'I bet he never thought these would end up in my hands' I thought with a small chuckle. My eyes began to cloud over as the waves of nostalgia washed over me.
CRASH!
The explosion was enough to shake me from my memories of the past. Tucking my treasures away, I hurried outside to see what had happened.
I stifled a small gasp a the scene I saw. Sano was on the ground, bleeding and unconscious, with a man standing over him. Hearing the small noise he turned to me and our eyes met.
This time I couldn't even manage to make a noise. The man before me was striking. He had a tall lean fighters body, still taunt from the recent brawl. His face was narrow and angular, but still handsome. But out of everything, it was his eye's that left me breathless. Narrow like the rest of him, and golden as the harvest moon. The blood lust radiating from their molten depths just added to his dangerous beauty.
"So we weren't as alone as we thought" was his reply, barely even more than a growl.
'Wolf' was the only thing that came to mind, and the single word whispered on my lips.
"Be a good girl, and forget every thing you've just seen here" he said and turned to leave.
That was enough to shock me out of my daze.Without thinking, I took out a fan and threw at him,not even bothering toaim. It flew past his head by a few cm and wedged itself into a tree.
"Tsk" was his only response, as he turned around and locked gazes with me again. A smirk was forming on his thin lips.
"Just as stubborn as the last one" he said as he snatched the fan from the trunk and tucked it into his shirt.
"I'll keep this as a souvenir" came his snide remark, as he turned and left. I made a move to go after him, but stopped myself. One thing was for sure, that man was deadly.
"SANO!" came Kaoru's horrified shriek.
I turned to see her and Yahiko rushing to his side. Kenshin was just starring in revulsion at the giant hole in the wall. And all I could do was stand there looking like a idiot. The memory of that man still burning in my mind.
Well I hope this was longer than the last chapter. And not at all sucky, in my opinion…. mumbles something about jerks who leave anonyms reviews And thank you ShadowVixen, your review made my day ;) Anyways please read and review.
Sincerely,
Silver-Kitsune223
