On w/ the fic!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" screamed Kaoru. "Just tell us where Sakura is and we'll let you go." said Jinrai. "Over...by...the...river." Gasped Kaoru. Jinrai snapped his fingers, the men released Kaoru. "Jinrai! What are you doing here?" "Hmph, I should be asking the same Tsukishiro-sama. And" Jinrai is cut off when he notices who's standing in front of him. "The...the Battousai!" he yells. Sakura became very confused at her guard's statement.

"I will be taking Tsukishiro-sama back to Kyoto where she is greatly needed thank you."

"Why should I?" Sakura asked.

"Because...it's none of your business...as your guard"
"As my guard, I order you to tell me why." finished Sakura.

"Very well, the man next to you is the Battousai."

"So? I need some answers out of him then. I won't go."

"Very well. Do what you want to the others. But spare Tsukishiro-sama."

Jinrai's followers charged at the Ken-gumi, drawing their once-concealed swords. Kaoru and Yahiko ran back into the dojo, only to emerge moments later with shinai/ bokken in hand. They charged at the men. Yahiko leaped up and did a pseudo ryu tsui sen. slamming one of the men on the head. Kenshin managed to get past the attackers and get to Jinrai. Drawing his sakabatou, Kenshin waited for Jinrai to attack. Sakura drew her sakabatou and fought back Jinrai's "company" by using a series of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu attacks.

"Why do you want Sakura-dono?" asked Kenshin while locked in fierce combat with Jinrai.

"None of your business, Battousai," retorted Jinrai," But I shall delight in defeating you. Now DIE!" Jinrai charged at Kenshin who easily blocked him. Sakura got past the people and joined Kenshin in the fight against Jinrai.

How was it? Reviews are welcomed (though no flames please).

Gomennasai for it being so short.
