Author's note: Hoo boy, I am now I got way off of my goal. Though my excuse will always be school. Though I am lazy as well. Oh well. Um, this chapter will be shorter than the others just because I'm having a major writers block at this time. Though I will try to make some things better in the other chapters.

Chapter 9"Kenshin may very well be Battousai."
As if on hearing his voice, Kenshin turned and looked at Yugi. Yugi flinched back thinking of how tough this man really could be. "What?" Kenshin asked after seeing Yugi flinch. "Well, whatever it is, it's time we leave. Any longer here and he'll sense us. Let's go," Kenshin said and ran off in the direction they came from.
Yugi watched him run off not sure if he should follow. If this man really was Battousai he could be killed in an instant, by guess. 'What are you doing?' Yami's voice rang throughout his head.
'I don't know what to do. You think he's Battousai and…'
'Look, he might be that guy but if you stay here you'll surely get killed. It's best if you follow Kenshin.'
'Right,' Yugi said and took off. He ran into Kenshin after only a few seconds of running. "What the?" he asked rubbing his head, "Oh, Kenshin, I thought you ran ahead."
"You, but then I didn't see you and I came to find you. Now come on."
The two of them ran off side by side. 'See, how bad can he be if he was coming back for you?'
'Guess you're right.' They kept running for a while. Kenshin stopped at the place where they last stopped. Kenshin looked around. "Are we safe?" Yugi asked out of concern.
"For now we are. We'll stay here for a while and if I sense any ki coming this way then we should leave." Kenshin took a next to a tree and closed his eyes as if out of exhaustion.
Yugi sighed and looked over at Kenshin. "Um, Kenshin?" Yugi asked. Kenshin grunted saying that he heard. "Um, are you…Battousai?"
At that question, Kenshin shot up and looked over to Yugi with a glare upon his face. "Who told you that? What makes you think that I'm that man?"
'Yugi, I'll take over from here,' Yami said. He sensed some danger and only wished to protect Yugi. Once out of the body Yami rose his hands and said, "Now, now Battousai, no need to be rough," thinking that Battousai was his real name and Kenshin was the alias.
"So, you're the one grinding this stuff into Yugi's head, Yami," Kenshin said as he walked slowly over to him.
"What are you talking about? I've just heard some things and I thought it would be best to tell Yugi," Yami said while backing away.
"Where did you hear these things?"
"I overheard that Saitou guy talking once. He mentioned your name a few time, that is, if Battousai is your real name."
"It's not!"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"My name is not Battousai, it's Kenshin."
"How am I to trust you? You look as if you're about to slice my head off."
Kenshin sighed and sat himself down once more. That seemed to calm Yami down a little bit. He then turned and looked at Yami. "Look, I'm sorry. I shall tell you who this Battousai that you're hearing about is. You seem to want to know at least that much."
"What? You're not Battousai?" Yami asked as Yugi was thinking the same exact thing.
Kenshin only smiled. "You are probably wondering who this Battousai is and what he is like. Well, I am now here to tell you that. First, Battousai is said to be a man of great power. Though with that power he does cruel and stupid things. He is a murderer and kills all that crosses his path. Battousai is a monster and is a man that should not be trusted."
"Huh? Have you met this Battousai?"
"Yes, that I have. He truly is a deadly man. Only Saitou would enjoy a man like that. Saitou only wishes to battle the Battousai and prove that he and the Shinsengumi are the stronger and to bring victory to their side of the war. That is why he burned our house down. He was searching for Battousai to secure his victory."
"Oh, I see now," Yami said trying to understand.
"Yes, well, it's getting late. We should be heading off to bed now," Kenshin said and walked over to the tree to sit himself underneath it. "Good night, Yami and Yugi."
"Good night Kenshin," Yugi said as he once again took control of the body. Then the two of them drifted off to sleep.
Author's note: Oh man, and now comes the pounding of the comments. Dang, I'm really sorry for not being able to keep my goal. I know what all of you are thinking right now. You're all saying, "Sheby! How could you make us wait this long and then give us this short of a chapter?" Well, um, I didn't mean to alright? Personally, I probably won't be able to get my chapters up in a week from now on. It's just all of the work that I'm getting at school and all. Then because this chapter is so short is because of my major writers block. This chapter was to show you what Kenshin really thinks of himself when he thinks of the Battousai self. I hope I didn't disappoint you guys too much. Well, as always, read and review. Please don't hate me….
