Kenshin glanced at the letter from earlier that was in his right hand as he scuttled cautiously through the Forbidden Forest. His eyes were narrowed into his " Death Glare", making him look menacing in the darkness of the cool night. He then came to a place in the woods where there were trees knocked down around a clearing like they were dominos.

     " This must be the arena," Kenshin said out loud.

" Correct, Himura."

  Kenshin didn't need to know who was behind him. He already knew. " Do you honestly believe I'll go through with this, Battousai?" He slowly turned his head to look at his younger self, who was clad in blue and white instead of magenta and white. The Battousai smirked. " Well, that is your decision," he said while flicking his head to the side, making his ponytail quiver.

    " What makes you think I will?"

" Because I am you."
" You mean you were." The side of the Battousai's lip twitched slightly. " You will fight me. I wish to know which of us is greater…" He softly chuckled. " Though, it may not be much of a competition at all."

  " If that is what you truly think, then you have already lost." The younger samurai gave Kenshin a toothy grin as he watched a shadow slide though the trees behind Kenshin. " Oh, I believe I have won this battle a long time ago, Kenshin."

   Harry looked out of the window of the common room. He just saw Himura strut into the forest a little while ago, and was debating if he should follow or not. I mean, he was new and maybe didn't know what lied in the Forbidden Forest. Or maybe he was just running an herb errand for Soujiro. 

   Oh, he didn't know! And it was driving him crazy. Something was up and he didn't like it. Especially since was the day before Halloween.  He closed his eyes. What would his godfather do?

    Sanoskue and Yahiko stood outside a restaurant that Kaoru went into. " Who would have thought the Lil' Missy would have found that guy," Sano muttered as they leaned against the wall.  Yahiko nodded.

    " WHERE DID YOU TAKE KENSHIN?!?!?!"

" Uh---I-I can't tell you Ms---!! AH!" They both then heard a loud crash from inside. The screaming was from poor Granter Duluth. Sano and Yahiko looked unaffected by the screams. 

  " I'll bet ya seventy yen he cracks in the next five minutes," Sano bet Yahiko. " You're on, cheapskate!"
