The Secret Kept from Yahiko
Chapter Three
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
From last time:
"How much more do I owe you guys?" I panted out.
"I don't know Yahiko, ten years, twenty years, but you're going to pay it all back with these fingers of yours." I could feel him nod to the other members as he let go of my hand. I involuntarily prepared myself for the beating I knew I was about to receive. Sure enough, blows rained down upon me numbering so many that I lost count very quickly. It was after I tasted blood that the world around me went black.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Yahiko POV
I awoke feeling like a deflated balloon. My energy was drained, I was sore all over, I had a pounding headache, and I knew that the worst was yet to come. I moaned and tried to roll over only to discover that my hands were chained to the wall above my head by my wrists.
(A/N: All right people. This is where the story makes a complete change from episode two- Kid Samurai. I'm a total drama queen and love to torture my favorite characters so that is what I am doing^^)
"Hey Boss! I think he woke up!" 'Kyo never will learn that everyone already knew that.'
I heard heavy footfalls approach me and I knew without looking that Gasuke was standing right above me. I glared up at him defiantly- I guess I did have some pride and some Yakuza jerk was not going to take that away as he had already done to anything or anyone that I cared about.
"Well Yahiko, what do you have to say for yourself?"
I replied, "Since I didn't get a chance to say it earlier - here I shifted my gaze and glared at Kyo and Honya - I quit my ties with you guys in the pick pocketing business as of now. Pick pocketing is a bad thing to do and you will not earn money from me by having me do your dirty work. I will not lose my pride or my family's pride to your greedy little hands. Whatever I do owe you I will pay back - but it will be through doing honest work."
I got that feeling you get when you know you have just said the wrong thing. As usual, my hunch was correct and I received a very hard backhand to the side of my face from Gasuke.
Gasuke jeered. "To tell you the truth punk, we have been keeping a little secret from you for the last five years. You want to know what it is? All right I'll tell you. There was never a debt to begin with!" Gasuke laughed evilly and the rest of the gang joined in; probably because I knew that I had a stricken and disbelieving face because I could feel my mouth falling open in shock.
"Yes Brat, it is true. We were going to have you be our dog for a long time to come, but since you seemed to have found out the truth your worthfullness is over. And since you are now no use to us you will die Myojin Yahiko!!!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Author's Notes:
Nice cliffie for me to leave you guys on huh? I couldn't continue; it was a perfect moment.
Guess what?! Everything is going really well for me at the moment! There was a new Yu-Gi-Oh on this morning! Joey did look evil for a few seconds... scary!
I want to apologize for both the long wait and if the spacing shows up weird like it did for the other chapters. My computer is ancient and weird but I should be getting my own soon!

* * * IcyPanther * * * Well Icy, you did help with Chapter Two, but Chapter Three is all mine! ^^ I think I'm getting a lot better ^^
* * * HalownKougra * * * Hey! Great to see you review! Shogunate is the group that Yahiko's father belonged to, like how Kenshin was with the Imperialists and Sanosuke was with the Sekihoutai. Did you figure out who Gasuke was? This isn't really following episodes 1-4 more like just number two and then branching off into my own little world! ^^
* * * tocole * * * Hey Yahiko-lover! ^^ Glad your computer is back up, I hate it when they are down! I feel special ^^ I guess I am the first one to do a take on episode two ^^ That's where I fell for him too ^^ * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
