Esano: yes... wait a minute, I'm not in this anymore!
Lina: Nope, but someone else will be! (Do not own this character either...wish I did though! Hehe)
Aoshi: I wonder who...
Lina: Find out and see! (manga almost killed me in the beginning! wow...)
The Ultra Long Kenshin Fic Chapter 13: Introduction
It was a dreary afternoon. Kenshin was moping about the dojo, thinking about what had happened a week before. It had been seven days since Esano disappeared, why can't he get over this? It was like his past, he was always reliving it in his mind over and over again. He wondered why? Why can't he just enjoy the moment that he was having now? Well, Karou had caught a cold for one thing, so he could not be around her that much, just to check up on her, and he still felt a little anger towards her.
Yahiko came rushing in through the door of the room where Kenshin was pacing in and almost ran into him.
"Kenshin! Come quick! There's someone... who says he knows you! And he's from the Shinsengumi!" Yahiko said, panting. Kenshin followed the frantic Yahiko out into the courtyard. He saw a tall figure with his back turned to him, black hair pulled back into a ponytail. The man was also wearing a black kimono, he turned around to see Kenshin and Yahiko standing there.
"Well, hello there Battousai," the man said, in a deep rusty voice. He was as big as Aoshi and had a sword attached to his belt.
"It's been a long time, Hijikata Touzou," Kenshin replied, smiling. Touzou also smiled.
"You haven't changed a bit. I wish I still was as good looking as I always was, not that you are," he stated, laughing a bit. Kenshin also laughed. Yahiko was confused, noticing how friendly the two were acting.
"What's going on?" Kaoru asked, coughing a bit. She was standing outside of her room, leaning against a pole.
"You should be in bed resting," Kenshin stated.
"And who is this, your wife?" Touzou asked. Kenshin and Kaoru both grew red, Kaoru more red than she already was from her cold. She hid the hand with the ring on it.
"No! Not yet anyways..." Kenshin mumbled. Touzou laughed.
"Well, why don't we get down to business?" He asked, drawing his sword. Kenshin nodded, drawing his own sword.
"Wait a minute... I'm totally confused now," Yahiko stated. Kenshin and Touzou were still smiling. Sano walked through the gate right when the two started to fight.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked, even more confused than Yahiko. The two kept clashing swords, making Kaoru sit down, covering her ears. Sano went over to her, avoiding the fight. Touzou scratched Kenshin's arm, which made them stop for a bit.
"You've gotten rusty, haven't you?" Touzou asked. Kenshin laughed.
"So have you," he stated, just then Touzou's kimono ripped at his knees and elbows. He did not fall on his knees though, but wiped his sword off with his sleeve and put it back in its sheath. Kenshin did the same, and then went over to see how Kaoru was, who was confused as well.
"We were friends, before the war. He never told any of you about me?" Touzou asked. Yahiko shook his head.
"He doesn't... talk about his past much," he said, sadly. After introductions were given, the group sat down for tea, and it started to rain. Megumi came by to see Sano, and was also introduced to Touzou, who liked her a little too much.
Lina: Mwuhahahaha! If you have seen Peacemaker, you know who he is! Hehe. He is so fun. I will have a thing about the Haiku's in there, don't worry. lol
Touzou: Meany!
Lina: I know... well, hope u liked. Only two more chapters to go! There might be a death, but you will have to find out! So, review please and be nice, or I won't update anymore, j/k. Hehe
