"Very nice way to put it," the person said. We both drew our swords and I jumped off of the roof.
"Who are you?" Kenshin asked.
"Don't worry about me I wouldn't hurt a fly," the person said, "I am just a messenger. My master Kuinto would like to meet the legendary manslayer if that's not too much trouble."
He pulled out an invitation and set it on the ground.
"Well my mission is done. I'll be off," the person jumped back into the forest.
I sheathed my sword as did Kenshin. He went over and picked up the letter. At breakfast we told Karou and Yahiko about the invitation.
"You're not going to go right?" Karou asked.
"Why shouldn't he?" I asked.
"It could be a trap," Karou replied.
"So? That's the fun of it," I said.
"Let Kenshin make the final say," Yahiko suggested.
"Fine," Karou agreed.
We all looked at him. He looked kind of nervous incase he said the wrong answer (anime sweatdrop).
"Well...umm….I don't see any harm in going," Kenshin said.
"Alright Kenshin, then you go, but don't expect me to come save you," Karou said.
She looked kind of annoyed.
"Yay!" Yahiko and I yelled.
"I don't know what you're celebrating for," Karou said, "You're not going."
"What!" me and Yahiko exclaimed.
"Why not?" I asked.
"It's too dangerous," Karou replied.
"But Karou," Yahiko started.
"No buts about it. That invitation was for Kenshin only," Karou said.
"Aw come on," Yahiko pleaded.
"If it's for Kenshin only that means you're not going either right?" I asked.
Karou blushed, "Of course I'm going. I have every right to. You both are too young. No is my final answer." Yahiko and I groaned.
After we finished eating Kenshin told us to go train. Instead we went outside, climbed on the roof, and listened by the kitchen window.
"You know they're going to follow us anyway," Kenshin said.
"Not if we leave earlier than planned," Karou replied.
"That's kind of disrespectful, don't you think?" Kenshin asked.
Karou shook her head, "They're just kids. We're not disrespecting them we're protecting them."
"But they've been training to fight," Kenshin replied.
He looked out the window to where we usually train. Of course we weren't there.
"Yahiko. Keori. Get out there and train and stop listening to people's conversations," Kenshin said.
We were startled and we tried to run back up the roof but Yahiko slipped and tripped me, so we both fell off the roof.
Kenshin and Karou laughed as they saw us fall by the window. Yahiko got up first and helped me up. We both leaned in the window.
"Come on we have a right into a conversation that includes us," Yahiko said.
"No. Not this one. Go to train," Karou replied.
We groaned and left.
