(Random title, I start with Kenshin, switch to Sanosuke, then back to Kenshin, then to Beshimi, and then back to Kenshin, then to Megumi, then to Kaoru…? I think? I hope the view changes aren't too confusing… Heh)
Hey Insaneningen14… YOU UPDATED! (Everyone… read her stories, it is beyond my understanding but she has managed to write three AMAZING almost 20chpt stories… so far!)
Yo Accolay! I am actually in love with your screen name and keep referring to you as that even in real life with my brother and so on… it's so catchy! And I don't care if it's some other person, even an amazing French composer (or something like that)
Would also like to thank people I don't know in real life before I start, that's right plutobaby494. And sailer-earth13, I'm super happy you didn't pass up my story (by the way, me and my BROTHER, yes male, used to watch sailor moon together… I liked the cat, forget its name), hey charmed sword… you just rock! Thanks for reviewing, being interested, and putting me on your alert list, you REALLY MADE MY DAY YOU GUYS! THANKS!
Last time:
"And what's this Megumi-san…? Could it be… OPIUM! LIKE THE STUFF YOU MADE THAT KILLED MY FRIEND!"
Kenshin's eyes sprang open.
Was that-?
Hitokiri and the World He Lives In
Sanosuke?
And did he say… OPIUM?
No.
He had chosen a side… again.
"Whichever side you choose, the one with Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu's aid will always triumph. You must stay in between and never pledge your loyalty, to keep the forces balanced."
His master's words drifted back to him. (A/N: don't remember quote, I think it's in the 11th book if anyone wants to check)
He had chosen a side… and he had chosen wrong.
Opium, no, it-it couldn't be…
The rock hard statue of the red head's face lifted slowly as his eyes began to glimmer.
He, he could not go on. He did not deserve to live but… he couldn't abandon life-
BAM!
The Sanosuke's fist connected with his cheek… as the dust cleared, Kenshin's face was revealed.
Hard
Cold
"I'm glad your punch has not dulled… Sagara Sanosuke"
Sagara Sanosuke!…
Kenshin… Kenshin had not called him that in a long time, not since they first met, when he had he zanbatou.
The eyes
He turned his attention to the slit like eyes which belonged to Battousai.
This was not his friend, this was not the wanderer he had once met and fought- this was the man who had killed hundreds of thousands, who had left the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu Dojo, who had abandoned Yahiko and nearly killed the little miss.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Doryusan, Dragon's Nest Strike!" (A/N: Kenshin used this in the second book… don't know who he used it on, some man with a gun who was paying Sanosuke… anyway)
"What?"
Rocks were flying at him, past him, around him, into him.
He drew in a short breath as a sharp rock slashed into a point by Kenshin's sword glided into his shoulder.
Kenshin looked up.
"Which way you facing squinty eyes, I may be wounded, but you need to be taught a lesson. This fight is just starting!"
Blocking Sanosuke's oncoming punch, Kenshin grabbed the man's arm and face to force the his head into the ground
"Time to sleep"
The man was unconscious.
He looked down
My own friend. And yet how strange, no remorse
He turned away. (A/N: I know I did it badly but know that this is supposed to be a copy of the fight between Sanosuke and Saito from book seven except that… it's Kenshin… yeah)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This-this guy just-!
First Kanryu's soldier, then that… what's his name, Sanosuke! That man just beat Hyottoko and now this red headed nobody comes out of nowhere and practically kills the man
Beshimi looked down at the receding red head
Just look how much trouble he's caused! Aoshi is already wants me dead for letting that lady get away, and now this?
You can't disgrace me! You won't disgrace me! I won't let you!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
He had already made it to the market. (AN: Back to Kenshin)
Flick! WZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The sounds where heard clearly although softer than a whisper heard one hundred feet away.
He flipped up the mat sitting on the ground just on time to stop the small spiral poison dart from hurtling into his heart from behind.
His eyes shrank again in size as they trained in on the hidden location of the unseen enemy he knew to be lurking there.
Beshimi shivered.
Who was this man?
The dark man turned and walked back towards him, his face covered in shadow, only the flicker of a golden eye showing through the thick blood red hair (A/N: I know it's more orange but what ever)
The final blow.
Sword raised above his head, ready for its next victim.
Ka-chiiiiiiiiiing!
His sword his, but it did not hit the coward Beshimi, it did not slice through the human flesh it had so longed for, instead, it had been deflected by the hand of what appeared to be a very a skilled martial artist.
His presence had not been detected.
Kenshin's eyes narrowed.
That was my meat…
In a flash the spy with gaudy black and white stripe had gone carrying with him the small unconscious man, Beshimi, and a huge ogre like creature with a barrel on his back.
"Hmph."
He sheathed his sword and walked on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She had found his home.
He was unconscious but at least alive.
Drip
The hot tear splashed down into the unconscious man's chest.
How could she have been so stupid? How could she have followed Kanryu? How could she have taken so many innocent lives?
Such as the friends, of this man lying here...
I have saved one life, but how many others must I take before Kanryu is satisfied?
Drip
Mother
Drip
Father
Drip
My entire family was made up of respectable doctors… just look where I am now...
----------
Kaoru stood at the door. The woman was crying now, leaning against the near dead man's body.
She put on the usual expression, a fake smile with a hint of sad depression, and made her presence known to Megumi before entering the room in order to give her some time to dry her tears
"Megumi-san, why don't you take a bath, I can watch him"
"… Yes. I think… I think I'll do that"
To be continued…
Idiot: ha! I didn't think I'd update during thanksgiving break since… well I have to visit both halves of my family and stay in Georgia (dad's side) for 4 days…
GUESS WHAT!
Wasabi: …what?
Idiot: I saw that Harry potter movie yesterday… the forth one smirks stupidly
Wasabi: … twitch … SUPER TWICH … SPAZ!
Idiot: ok, so I didn't really think it was that good. Don't kill me but you have to agree, although some of it was defiantly funny, it wasn't half as good as the first ones… I like Ron's haircut… yeah
Editor: Personally, it sucked ass. Everyone stayed up till midnight to go out and watch it, and they come back to school screaming the next day about how hot Cedric is. Bleah…
Wasabi: I'm better now… you know, she said she would update consistently but she almost trashed the story yesterday… don't worry, she really will update, maybe once every week, if not once every two weeks, no less then that
Idiot: SO REVIEW!
Wasabi: and HAPPY THANKSGIVING (I love turkey and CRANBERRY SAUCE… mmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Editor: sigh… reviews, please.
