Dilemma

Chapter two

---------------

He was pissed beyond belief. He was sent on a simple mission to kill some demons and he ended up in the past in some dojo. He took out his katana and started to practice. He was so concentrated on his thoughts he hadn't sensed the group of people watching him practice. Hiei finished the move he was doing with a stab of the katana. The people watching him, Yusuke, Kaoru, Yahiko, Sano, and Kenshin, clapped, well except Yusuke.

"Wow, where'd you learn to do that?" Yahiko asked in awe.

"Hn."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Look kid, he's not very talkative." Yusuke stated.

"So, what does 'hn' mean?"

"Dunno." And with that Yusuke walked away.

"Well, he truly is a good swordsman."

"Yeah."

---------------

He wanted to get away from everybody. He just needed to be alone; well he had been alone until Hiei came landing in front of him.

"Where are you going, detective?"

"Away from people, I just need to alone."

"How are we supposed to get out?"

"I don't know, Hiei, I just don't know. We'll figure it out eventually though."

"Hn." He jumped away and Yusuke continued walking until he reached a clearing.

It was a small clearing, just a small area of grass in the middle of a bunch of trees. Yusuke plopped in front of one of the trees and just sat there. He was wondering how they were going to get back. He wondered why they were even here, had it been Fate? Yusuke continued to ponder the situation until his stomach growled.

Yusuke got up, having formed a new plan: Get food, and soon. So he started walking to the Kamiya Dojo where he found Kenshin making dinner.

"Oh, hello Yusuke."

"Yo. Whatcha making?"

"Dangojiru (1)."

"Ooh, when's it gonna be done?"

"Soon Yusuke, soon."

Yusuke sat down with all of his natural grace (which is 0) to watch Kenshin cook. Soon everyone was inside smelling Kenshin's meal. It was completely silent, not an awkward silence, just a companionable one. So, when Kenshin shouted out, practically everyone jumped.

"Done!"

Everyone dug in complimenting Kenshin on a work well done. When all was finished, no one wanted any more (for they were quite full) and just wanted a nice bed to sleep in that night. And that's exactly what they did, except one lone demon…

Hiei sat outside in a tree wondering why they were pulled into this world. Maybe, as Yusuke had thought, it was Fate. Could this somehow be related to anything that will happen in the future? Was thee going to be a major life changing moment in this era? Hiei didn't know, and that pissed him off to no extent. He waned to know why he was there; he needed to know why he was there, but no one could give him his answers.

Er, I said I was going to post this earlier… Ahem, mah bad. Until next chapter!
