Disclaimer: Not mine, well.Alain and Alaina are

A/N: You lucky, lucky people you. I am so proud of myself for inventing Alain, and so obsessed with French that I have decided to grace all of you with yet ANOTHER chapter. *cheering is heard in background* Yes, Yes, you are all so lucky! Apostrophe's will surround the French.

Chapter 5: Friend...or Foe?

Kaoru looked uneasily from Kenshin to Alain.

Alain blinked a couple times, before looking up to see Kenshin's hard face, and his golden eyes. "Ah, 'Guerrier' Kenshin, it is 'Magnifique' to see you again. Even, though I see, you are troubling from the 'maladie' that you went to my 'soeur' for. It is then understandable that you should not remember me."

Kaoru was very confused, she glanced from Kenshin to Alain and back again, a look of puzzlement on her face.

They heard a noise from the gate, as one they all turned to look. A woman was walking up the path, she had ¾ length blue sleeves, and full blue skirts, she looked exactly like Alain.

" 'Alain, où êtes-vous'?" She called, she hesitated when she saw the scene, but instead stepped inside and walked until she was even with Kaoru. " 'Mademoiselle, pourquoi fait le menacer mon frère'?

Kaoru just blinked. "Umm, I'm sorry I don't speak French"

Alaina, looked slightly confused until Alain jumped in. " 'Alaina, elle ne parle pas Français'"

Alaina flushed slightly. "I am so sorry 'mademoiselle' I do not like to speak English, it gives me a 'Mal de tête,' What is going on Alain?"

"Alaina, you remember 'Guerrier' Kenshin?"

" 'Oui' " Alaina replied.

"This is him" Alain responded blandly

"Oh, 'certainement' I do remember him."

Kenshin growled softly in his throat. Kaoru shivered. "Alain, I challenge you.again. And this time.you cannot refuse! Or I will kill your sister." " 'Oui', I accept your 'défi' " Alain replied.
