I don't own Rurouni Kenshin. Ohkami is a friend of mine, ohkamimajin. This is based on an RP that Ohkami, I, and a few other people did a few years ago. In this fic, Saito is not married. Thank you to FairyMage, Imalefty and ohkamimajin for reviewing! Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores! A double line means flash back. Broken line means scene change.

"Can't I have more beer?" Ohkami asked me, her eyes brimming with tears.

It's been a month since Nagakura took Hajime and Sano hostage. Things have slowly returned to normal, well, at least as normal as life with Ohkami could be. She'd convinced me to go to a bar yet again. Sanosuke and Jime had decided to join us.

"No Ohkami." A small smile came over my face. "If you have any more beer you'll be out until next week."

"Oh please Izzy." Ohkami had started swaying.

"Ohkami." I sighed; she only called me Izzy when she was really drunk. "No."

Just then, something whizzed past my ear. Spinning around, I saw a dagger embedded in the bar. My heart stopped.

"Oh look." Ohkami smiled, pulling the dagger from the wood. "A plastic dagger."

With that, she hurled it toward the door, people jumped out of the way and glared at Ohkami. She just laughed.

"Dämon-Gruppe." I whispered. "We need to get out of here Ohkami."

"Huh?" Ohkami looked at me, confusion evident on her face.

"Just follow me." I said, grabbing Sano by the collar and dragging him out.

When I finally got outside, I sighed. There was some banging behind me as Ohkami emerged from the bar. Jime came out right after her.

"Hey, hic, where are we, hic, going?" Ohkami matched stride with me, but seemed to wobble.

"Mt. Hiei." I glanced over at her.

"Why are we going there?" Sano looked up at me.

"You are going home."

"What?" Ohkami stopped and Sano stared at me.

"I don't want you involved in this Sano." I told him, and then I glanced at Jime. "Neither of you."

"What are you involved in?" Hajime asked. "Roster Head and I might be able to help."

"No." I sighed, letting go of Sano. "Please, I don't want either of you to get hurt."

"Heehee, Hiei! Umm why? Hic." Ohkami was starting to sway.

"Our old friends, Dämon-Gruppe."

"Really? Wow, it's been awhile. Um, who are we talking about again?"

"Just follow me." I sighed. "Sanosuke, Jime, please stay here in Kyoto."

I headed toward the road that led to the mountain. Behind me, I could hear Ohkami as she tried to stay upright. Damn it, why the hell are those bastards coming after us now? Sighing, I looked up toward the mountain.

We walked for what seemed like hours, Ohkami finally matching strides with me. As the sun started to fall behind Ohkami finally spoke.

"Damn. My head hurts. Hey where're we going? And where's the kid and Saito?" Apparently she was finally starting to come out of her drunken stupor.

"Dämon-Gruppe is back, we're going to Mt. Hiei and it wouldn't have been safe if Sano and Hajime had come with us."

"Why? They can take care of themselves."

"Don't you remember what they did to those people in the village?"

"What village?"

"You're hopeless." I sighed, a small smile crossing my face. "Come on, we need to get there before dark."

"Okay." Ohkami smiled and started skipping up the path.

I laughed, but stopped when I saw something fly at Ohkami. Before I could get the words out, an arrow embedded itself in front of her. Ohkami stopped mid skip and stared at the arrow.

"They tried to hit me." She said, looking up at the mountain's summit. "We should go up there and kick their sorry asses!"

With that, she broke into a run. I tried to grab her but her demon speed kept her out of my reach. Inwardly I sighed as I ran, Ohkami never thinks thing through. Just then, I noticed another arrow heading toward her. She slashed through it with her claws and kept running.

I followed her when suddenly something hit my shoulder. Blood started to soak my shirt. An arrow had managed to hit my shoulder. Up ahead I could see Ohkami stop and turn around. She must have smelt my blood.

"Those bastards! I'll kill them! But first, we should probably do something about your shoulder..." She growled before doing a healing spell on my shoulder.

Looking back at the mountain she bounded off again. It was about then that I noticed an opening in the mountain. Apparently Ohkami had been really preoccupied with killing them because she ran right past it.

"Uh, Ohkami, you missed it."

"Will you look at that." Ohkami turned around and saw that entrance.

A small smile crossed my face and I shook my head as I reached the entrance. Inside I saw Ohkami standing over the bodies of security guards. One had claw marks on his chest and another had a boot mark on his face. Others had injuries that made Izumi queasy. Ohkami giggled.

"Security here sucks." She smiled.

"Next time wait for me. Besides, you're injured." I pointed to her shoulder.

"What this? Oh come on, I'm a demon remember? I can handle a little cut like this easy..."

With that, she headed down a random tunnel at the other side of the room. I shook my head again. Ohkami, you are going to be the death of me. I followed her down the tunnel. We hadn't even gotten ten steps when about ten men attacked us. Grimacing, I pulled out my sword and started to fend them off.

Ohkami put her hands together and shot out a huge burst of energy. It decapitated five of them. She smiled and kicked another one between the legs.

"I'll leave the rest for you Izumi, don't want to steal all of the fun." She smiled.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically, sending the last man to the ground. "Let's go."

I headed down the corridor and came to a metal door. When I pulled it open I almost passed out. Ohkami must have noticed me go white.

"What's wrong?" She asked, coming closer.

Inside was about a thousand headless corpses, all of which were covered in blood. I've seen bloodshed on battlefields, but nothing like this. I was speechless as I walked inside.

"Oh shit." I heard Ohkami say as she walked in behind me.

I turned around to see her holding her head. Her skin was a pale white and her normally blue eyes had a hint of red in them now.

"You alright?" I questioned, taking a step towards her.

"I'm fine." She let go of her head. "Just…really…hungry."

"Let's keep moving." I motioned to a door on the other side of the room.

Thankfully, there were no more corpses in this room. As I walked in, I tried to find an exit. Then I heard the door slam shut and the smell of blood filled the room.

"There must be some sort of trap door or false wall." I said, trying to find one.

Behind me Ohkami fell to her knees and grabbed her head. I could see her eyes tint with red and her hair started to change from silver and black to bright red.

"We've got to do something quick or I'm gonna totally lose it..." She whispered.

"There's no way out."

Suddenly Ohkami stood up and a beam of light shot out of her hands. The door was destroyed and there was a hole for us to get through. Both of us climbed out as fast as we could. I looked down the corridor when I spotted something. There was another door at the end of the hall.

"I wonder why we didn't see that one." I mused as I headed toward it.

Ohkami opened it and we both walked in. The room had an eerie feel to it. Something wasn't right.

"Welcome ladies." A man's voice came from the other side of the room.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"To get revenge. You two destroyed Dämon-Gruppe and now you must pay. Get them."

Twenty men appeared out of nowhere. I pulled my sword from its sheath and started to block blows. Ohkami was fighting behind me, and from the sound of it, she was really pissed. It took us only seconds to dispatch all of the men. The leader shrank back toward the back wall.

"Ok, how bout this. I'll split him in half, then you can take the top half and I'll have the bottom..." Ohkami smiled, taking a step towards the trembling figure.

"Fine by me." I smirked, watching him squirm.

"Wait, please, don't kill me. I only wanted to test you, to see if the two of you were good enough to join the Yami group." He said desperately.

"Oh really?" I asked sarcastically.

"I think we passed." Ohkami smirked.

"I would like you two to join us. We can rebuild Dämon-Gruppe, the three of us can rule the world." He looked at them hopefully.

"If we really wanted to take over the world, we wouldn't need your help. So you wanted to kill half of him, right?" Ohkami laughed.

"Of course."

Suddenly, a strong feeling came over me, a feeling I hadn't felt in years. I wanted to kill this man, to paint the streets with his blood. Closing my eyes, I leaned against a wall, trying to repress the feeling. After a few seconds I opened my eyes back up. Ohkami was standing over the leader, claws ready. Her eyes were filled with delight.

"Ohkami." I sighed. "Don't kill him. We'll take him back to Kyoto. Hajime can take him to the station."

"What? Why not?" Ohkami turned to look at me, her eyes filled with confusion.

"If we kill him, we're just letting him get off." I looked at him. "Let him answer for his crimes in the courts."

"Oh fine…" Her ears drooped as she picked him up by the collar.

"Once we get back to Kyoto and this bastard is behind bars, I'll buy you a drink kid." I let a faint smile cross my face.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" She said with the biggest smile on her face.

The smile didn't fade as they made their way down the mountain. I was starting to regret my decision when we got to the bar. Ohkami ordered a keg of beer and drank it all in less than a minute. She gave me the puppy dogface but I managed to resist. Unfortunately, the bartender couldn't and she was thoroughly drunk by the time that we got out of there.

Sighing, I plopped down on my bed. I'd just dropped Ohkami off with Sano, though I doubt that it was a wise idea. Then again, I really didn't care. Lately, I've been getting urges to kill just about every other day. It was starting to scare me.

With one last look around the room, I closed my eyes and entered the land of dreams.

There was a glint in his eyes as he looked at me. His eyes were filled with hatred, why, I didn't know. I didn't even know who this man was, hell I didn't care. He had drawn his sword, which was enough.

His breathing was labored, we hadn't even started fighting but by the looks of his clothes, he had just escaped another battle. He looked like a rebel. Good, maybe now I could figure out how well the side I'm fighting for really is.

"Who are you?" He gasped, trying to catch his breath.

"Why would a man who is about to die want to know the name of his killer?" I growled, letting a smirk come over my face.

He paled considerably. Something inside me snapped. I could feel warmth growing inside me. It made me want to spill his blood, to take his life. Without even realizing it, I killed him. His body lay on the ground, blood pouring out. For a second, I was in ecstasy but then it faded. I was left feeling even emptier than when I'd begun.

"Good, you killed him." A familiar voice said behind me.

"Of course Captain." I replied, looking behind me.

"A message came for you. Apparently your mother is ill again." Saitou told me, standing next to me.

"Well, it appears that I will have to go back to her." I sighed. "With your permission, of course."

"Of course. We are going to miss you here Michi, you are one of our best."
"Thank you sir. Hopefully my mother will be better soon."

"Let us all hope."

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Yoshi Shindo yelled, pounding his fist on the table.

"My job." I replied, not paying any attention to him.

"Your job is to spy on the Shinsengumi and tell us of their plans, not kill our people." His voice was filled with anger.

"If they get in my way I will not hesitate to kill them." I growled; my patience was growing thin.

"Get out of my sight."

"Gladly."

I stormed out of the room, and into the cool outside air. The wind made me shiver a bit, but I ignored it. Behind me I could hear someone walk up and stop behind me. For some reason, I knew who it was.

"What the hell do you want Sagara?" My voice was dripping with rage.

"I could ask you the same question." His voice was the opposite of mine, calm and collected, it annoyed the hell out of me.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I whirled around, and glared at him.

"What the hell has gotten into you Izumi? You knew that Tori was one of our men and you killed him just the same."

"And I enjoyed it too. The bastard had it coming."

"No he didn't." Finally I was getting some emotion out of the heartless bastard.

"Who cares?"

"I do Izumi."

"Go to hell Sagara." I turned to walk away, but he caught my wrist and turned me back to him.

"Why are you doing this Izumi?" His voice had returned to normal.

"Why do you care?"

"Izumi…" He brought his hand up to touch my cheek.

"Don't touch me." I hit his hand away, glaring at him. My voice was like ice. "Get someone else to be your whore Sagara, because I won't."

"Izumi…"

I turned and strode off, not listening to him. The wind was cold and it went right through my clothes. Shivering, I made my way back to my room. Inside, I sighed and tore off my clothes and lay on the mat. Pulling the covers all the way up to my chin, I closed my eyes and slept.

"Izumi…" Someone's voice pulled me from sleep. "Izumi."

"Hmm?" I rubbed my eyes and blinked.

Hajime was sitting behind me, and I was leaned up against him. His hand was gently playing with my hair. A small smile came over his face when he saw that I was awake. I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Good morning." I whispered.

"Good morning." He kissed the top of my head.

"When did you get here?"

"Not long ago."

"I'd get up but I'm too tired."

"Then don't, we have all day."

Suddenly, there was a bang from the other side of the house and the sound of someone running followed it. Instinctively, I grabbed my sword and Hajime stood up. Ohkami threw open my bedroom door.

"Guess whose back." She panted. "Lord Stick-up-his-ass."

"Lord Toshi?" I got up out of bed.

"Yup, and the talking dragon too."

Ohkami led me outside and there was Lord Toshi and the dragon. His face changed drastically when he saw me, as if he was dreading what was going to happen.

"There is no need to bring humans into this." Lord Toshi glared at Ohkami. "Especially not weak women."

"Just tell her what you told me." Ohkami growled.

"Fine." He sighed and mumbled something.

"What did you say?" Ohkami looked like she was going to eat him.

"Nothing Your Majesty. Anyway, a portal has opened up and demons are now able to get into the human world."

"Wasn't there a portal open anyway?" I questioned.

"Yes, however the Royal Court controlled the portal. Now one has opened up at the far end of Demon World. The Royal Court does not regulate this one and many demons are escaping into this world."

"Why don't you just close the portal?"

"We cannot, there is an army of demons guarding it. None of our warriors are strong enough to defeat it."

"So you want us to defeat them?"

"There is more to it. Stupid human." He mumbled.

"What did you say you little asshole?" Ohkami's voice was threatening, even to me.

"Nothing." He bowed his head. "Anyway, there is a man controlling the portal, he goes by the name Denique Nex. He said that he would not surrender to anyone. Also, he said that he wanted to find the one of the demons of the revolution, Kitsune Majin."

"What?"

"He told the messengers that the Kitsune Majin was a master killer, with a thirst for blood equaling his own. We must find this Kitsune Majin, and prevent them from joining him."

"Yes we must." I whispered.

"Have you heard of this person?" The dragon asked me.

"Long ago, I knew the Kitsune Majin."

"Well then you will probably be able to help us find him." Lord Toshi said. "And stop him from joining Denique Nex."

"The Kitsune Majin died a long time ago."

"Then his search is in vain."

"No, it isn't."

"But you just said that this fellow was dead."

"Sometimes the dead grow restless." I whispered, looking over the horizon towards the city.

Why does fate seem to take pleasure in making me suffer? I thought as I tried to fight back the urge of a manslayer.

A/N: I hope that makes up for not posting in lets see…over 2 months… (cringes) Sorry about that. I've kind of been on an original story-writing spree. Anyway, I wanted to clear something up, last chapter I said that Okita was killed during the Ikeda-ya Affair and I forgot to mention that I messed with history a little bit. Okita actually died of tuberculosis during the first year of the Meiji, at least according to my sources. So, yeah, now that's off my chest. I hope you enjoyed Chapter 13 of Kitsune Majin!
