S+R: I finally updated.

Swords of the man Slayers.

CH 4 Unfair fight

The market place was very crowded, with people running around, buying stuff, selling stuff. Most of what was sold was rice or other foods, which caused a clash of many different smells.

Demon Eyes Kyo, Yuya, and the Red Tiger walked around, looking for any sign of the great Hitokiri Battosai. The only problem was that they couldn't any trace of the famed man slayer.

Yuya not paying any attention to where she was going, accidentally walked into a young looking man. The man was fitting the description Battosai, but to Yuya the man looked was to weak. He looked more like a woman, with his long red hair. The other problem with the picture was that he was carrying to barrels of rice for a young girl.

Once the teenage looking guy got up, he helped Yuya up. "Sorry that I am." He glanced around before continuing. "I wasn't looking."

"You better be sorry Kenshin." The young lady answered. "That was our dinner for a while." With that said she pounded him on the head.

So now the woman looking man had a name, true it was an interesting name, but a name none the less. No one could confuse a name like Kenshin, with a name like Battosai.

Another younger boy came up to the other two. He looked atleast five years younger then Kenshin. Hung over his back was what looked like a wooden sword. "Hey ugly, what happened?"

"What did you just call me Yahiko?" The girl shouted.

"What do you think," the newly named boy stated, as he stuck his tongue out.

Kyo watched in amusement. I like this kid already. Too bad I'll have to kill him along with his friend the Battosai. The purple eyed man broke Kyo's thoughts. "What?"

"You look confused that you do." Kenshin remarked, "do you require help?"

"None of your damn business," Kyo replied.

"Very well," thet huge smile never left his face. He grabbed what was left of the rice, and started to walk back towards the dojo.

Yuya walked up next to Kyo once the strangers were gone. "So what do you think, is he the real Battosai?"

Kyo completely ignored her. His red eyes followed the red haired man and his friends. Some how he knew that he was the real Battosai. Soon I'll kill you. He promised in his head. Once the the Battosai was sure he wasn't being followed he started to follow him.

"Again he walks away," Yuya commented. "The only reason I follow him is to get the money, but with him just walking off like this, I'll never get the reward." She sighed.

The farther the trio got from the market the less busy. Perfect. Kyo thought to himself. Kenshin and his friends were still in the samurai's sight.

Now! Kyo told himself as he drew his sword, and lunged at the the long red head. "Die."

Kenshin seemed to sense the on coming attack, and jumped up into the air, dropping the barrels of rice in the process. With his right hand he grabbed for the his sword, only to remember that today he wasn't carrying one.

Yahiko and Kaoru didn't realize they had been attacked until he was standing in front of them, with his sword stuck in a tree. Kyo pulled his sword out, as if the tree was cloth.

"That wasn't what i had expected." Kyo smiled a devilish smile, "Your the first to dodge that attack. Do you think you could do it again, Battosai?" The smile turned into an annoying laugh.

Kenshin only looked at him, and sighed, "you are fast that you are, but you attack an unarmed opponent."

"Like I really care," Kyo taunted back.

He looked striaght into Kyo's eyes, and somehow knew that he meant business. "Then perhaps a word of warning," Kyo only looked at him, "you can't defeat this one using the same technique that Saito uses."

"That who uses?" Kyo didn't wait for an answer, before attacking again.

Yahiko and Kaoru knew they had to find help, and started to walk silently toward the dojo. Until Yuya and the Red Tiger stopped them. We have to help Kenshin. The thought crossed Yahiko's head as he ran up and hit the guy holding the spear on the head.

As quickly as he could he ran towards the dojo.

"Get back here you little..." he shouted after him.

"Stop," Yuya ordered. "We'll catch him later."

Just as before Kyo tried to rush kenshin, again failing. His time was running out, Kyo had ten minutes to finish the Battosai off, or... Kyo forced himself not to think about the time limit, and focus on just killing the Battosai. "Would you stop moving, it would hurt less that way."

Meanwhile

Yahiko ran up to the doors of the dojo, where Sagara Sanosuke stood. He was looking over the damage caused by the intruders. Who did this I haven't seen anything like this since the whole incident with Saito. Sano thought silently. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Yahiko, "Why are you so tired?"

"Kenshin's in trouble," he replied modestly.

"What," Sano shouted, "where and by who?"

"A weird samurai," the boy screamed, "kenshin doesn't have his sword."

S+R: yeah I know it's kinda a weird spot to stop. Oh AND PLEASE REVEIW...
