To Draw A Sword

Disclaimer: I STILL do not own Rurouni Kenshin, but I'm STILL a big fan of it! I don't own anything I didn't make up.
Kenshin Rules! Kenshin Rules!
Who has seisouhen clips? I haven't able to watch them yet…
Anyway, let's get on with the story...
(By the way, this is my 1st RK fic...)
Chapter 9: The Police? Really?
"HA! This is such a treat!"
Groan…
"And I thought I had to wait until tomorrow to have a turn in beating the heck out of you-"
"Shut- Shut up-"
"I just came from the movies after dumping my girlfriend- and then suddenly- I find you! Of all people!"
"Shut up!"
"Ooh… what's the matter? Sano beat you up too much? Feh-"
"I said- Shut up already!"
Yahiko tried to drag himself to his feet as a tall guy in a long coat glared coldly at him. He raised a brow at him and frowned.
"Jeeze… I just gave you a punch! I haven't really done anything to you- Jeeze… you're a looser!"
"I AM NOT!" Yahiko exclaimed angrily as the guy before him just smirked.
"So? Where's your little stick?" he asked as Yahiko just glared daggers at him, "You're fighting me unarmed? That's a waste-"
"Damn you Shinomori-"
"Here-" Aoshi sneered, throwing him what looked like a kodachi, "I want a worthy opponent- not some weakling-"
"B-But- this is a real blade!" Yahiko exclaimed as Aoshi just looked at him coldly.
"So what? Haven't you seen one yourself! You're even weaker than I thought!" Aoshi muttered as Yahiko scowled, "If Kenshin and Sano wasn't able to kick your ass to the max- then prepare yourself-"
Yahiko gulped, positioning the kodachi he has in a battou-jutsu stance.
"I show no mercy."
Aoshi suddenly vanished into thin air- Yahiko's eyes widened in fear.
'Just like the first time-' Yahiko thought as he felt something pierce him on his side. "AAH!"
Yahiko clutched his bleeding side as he staggered towards a telephone post. Aoshi appeared next to Yahiko and punched him on the face.
"Get up slime ball-" Aoshi snapped, pulling Yahiko up by the collar, "I haven't done anything to you yet!"
"Damn-" Yahiko cursed as he tried to swing the kodachi in his hand at Aoshi; But Aoshi just blocked it with his kodachi, letting go of Yahiko.
"Hmm… I guess you really don't know how to use blades- especially my kodachis…" Aoshi jeered as he pushed Yahiko's kodachi out of his hands with his kodachi.
Aoshi brought down his kodachi down on Yahiko's arm, making a huge wide cut. Yahiko screamed in pain as he kicked Yahiko on the stomach.
Yahiko went flying towards the wall and hitting it with a crash. Yahiko groaned as drops of blood came trickling down his forehead.
"Stand up you fool! I'm not done with you yet!" Aoshi exclaimed, kicking Yahiko on the face.
Yahiko went flying over to a bunch of garbage cans toppling every single one of them to the ground. Aoshi walked over to Yahiko's kodachi on the floor and threw it at Yahiko! The kodachi pierced right through a garbage can Yahiko was clinging on- missing Yahiko's head by only an inch!
"I'm- not- done- yet-" Yahiko stammered, trying with all his might to get up.
He staggered backward a bit as he pulled the kodachi out of the garbage can. He groaned, clutching on to his bleeding arm. He shot a death glare at Aoshi who just gave him an icy look.
"Well? What the heck are you standing there for?" Aoshi grumbled as Yahiko staggered limply to one side, "Attack me! Or are you suddenly too chicken to fight me?"
"Shut up you stupid piece of shit." Yahiko growled as he tried to position his kodachi in an attacking position.
All of a sudden, they heard someone screaming Yahiko's name. Aoshi turned around to look as Yahiko charged forward to attack him. But when Yahiko was about to bring down his kodachi on Aoshi's shoulder, Aoshi disappeared from his view!
'What the heck-'
"Too slow." He heard Aoshi say from behind him.
Yahiko howled in pain when something hard hit him on his back with so much force. Yahiko crashed down making him make a slight crater on the cemented street. He coughed out some blood as Aoshi landed with ease next tom him. Aoshi smirked as he took Yahiko's bloody kodachi from the ground.
"Did you really think you can do such an obvious surprise attack at me!" Aoshi spat as he kicked Yahiko's limped body upside down.
Yahiko moaned in pain as he tried to crawl away from Aoshi.
"Oh- so now you're running away!" Aoshi said in disgust as he raised both his kodachi over his head, "I'll just let you die right here-"
"DAME!"
'K-Kaoru… M-Misao…' Yahiko thought as he groaned in pain, 'Get away!'
Aoshi turned around as his eyes widened in delight. There before him were two young ladies; one had her long black hair tied in a high pony, and the other had her hair in a braid. He sheathed the kodachi in his and took out a comb. He began combing his slightly untidy hair and smirked maliciously.
"Well, well, well… what do we have here?"
"Shut up! What the heck did you do to him!" Kaoru exclaimed as Misao brought out a bokken, "You killed him!"
"I did no such thing baby…" Aoshi said, walking over to them, "He's still alive…"
"Don't you dare come near us you jerk!" Misao warned him, gripping her bokken tightly.
"Now now ladies… why don't we talk this over a cup of coffee…" Aoshi said smirking as the Misao tried to swing her bokken at him.
But to her surprise, Aoshi caught the tip of her bokken in between two of his knuckles!
"What the-" Misao said in horror, looking up at Aoshi's cold stare.
Aoshi smirked as he twisted his hand and broke the tip of her bokken.
"Too bad babes- did you really think you could hurt me?" Aoshi sneered as he pulled the bokken out of Misao's hands, "I don't think so-"
Misao turned pale as Aoshi thrusted the hilt of her bokken to her stomach. Misao screamed in pain as she crumpled to the ground. Aoshi sneered as he threw the bokken away to his side.
"Too bad you had to pick a fight with me… you were really pretty…" Aoshi smirked as he turned his attention to the pony-tailed lady, "So- it's just you- me- and the movies tonight baby…"
Kaoru stepped back a bit, positioning herself in a battou-jutsu stance with her bokken. Aoshi just smirked.
"What? You still want to fight me?" Aoshi said, shaking his head in disgust, "Pretty ladies should not be fighting with me… I might accidentally kill them you know… even sexy looking ones as yourself"
Kaoru charged towards Aoshi and tried to swing her bokken at him; But Aoshi just jumped over her and landed behind her. Kaoru twirled around hastily and positioned herself again for another attack.
"I told you baby- you can never defeat me… especially with a just a mere stick!" Aoshi jeered as Kaoru glared at him, "Ooh… c'mon babes… can't we talk this over? I'll allow you to date me tonight… I just broke up with my ex-"
"I'd rather die you moron!" she angrily exclaimed as she charged at Aoshi again, trying to stab him with her bokken.
But Aoshi just smirked and stepped out of the way. Kaoru passed him- hit nothing but the air next to him! At that instance, Aoshi grabbed her by the wrist and hit her at the back with his elbow. Aoshi smirked as she fell to the ground in pain.
"I told you before babes… you can never defeat me…"
At that moment, he felt something hit him on his arm.
"Damn- missed!"
Aoshi looked at his arm and examined it.
"A cut!" he said as he looked up at the person in front of him, "You!"
Misao smirked at him as she pulled out a couple of small daggers.
"Kunai daggers?"
"Yup- just for you!" she exclaimed, throwing the daggers at him; But Aoshi pulled out both his kodachis and blocked them away, "Nani!"
"Hmm… did you really think you'd beat me after one hit to the arm?" Aoshi spat at her as he pointed both kodachis at her, "Please… don't make me laugh-"
All of a sudden, Aoshi spun around and cut a garbage can, flying at him, in half. He looked up and saw a bloody Yahiko on his feet.
"You again!"
"I say you better quit this shit Shinomori-" Yahiko exclaimed, noticing Kaoru trying to get up on her feet, "I called the police- unless you want to get busted out here- I suggest you get out of here-"
Aoshi's eyes blazed in anger. He cursed under his breath as he sheathed both his kodachis.
"If you think that the police can always save you-"
"Just get out of here you moron!" Misao exclaimed angrily, bringing out more of her kunai daggers.
Aoshi cursed again under his breath as he gave the three of them a dirty look. He spat at the ground before he turned his back on them.
"I'll get you next time-" he cursed as he walked away, kicking garbage cans from his path.
The three were silent for a while. Each of them were too tired to say anything.
All of a sudden, Yahiko fell to his knees.
"Yahiko!" the two ladies cried, running to his side as Yahiko coughed up some more blood.
"Ha- sup busu? Itachii?" he smirked as the two ladies hit him on the head, "I-Ite!"
"Hey Misao- do you think you can run over to Yutaro's and ask for an ambulance?" Kaoru asked in a hurry as Misao nodded, "I'll help Yahiko walk over to his place-"
"But what if that guy gets back!" Misao exclaimed in worry as Yahiko coughed up blood again.
"Just run as fast as you can- we'll be fine-"
"H-Hai…" Misao said uneasily as she quickly dashed away.
Kaoru got hold of Yahiko's arm and placed it around her neck. She grumbled as she tried to support Yahiko on his feet.
"You did good…" Kaoru whispered to him as Yahiko chuckled slightly, "Did you really call the cops?"
"Are you crazy? Of course not-" Yahiko said, grinning weakly, "I don't have a cell phone remember? I don't even have enough money to pay my electric bills for crying out loud!"
"So… it was just a trick?" Kaoru asked in awe as she tried to help Yahiko walk.
Yahiko scowled, wincing in pain.
"Well duh- how do you think I could call the cops? I'm a penniless guy!" Yahiko snapped as he staggered towards Kaoru, rubbing some of his blood on her clothes.
"Jeeze… if the cops could easily scare these guys- you should've done that a long time ago…" Kaoru grumbled, when they suddenly heard the roar of an engine from behind them, "Huh?"
To be continued…
