Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Aku By : Minako Part 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The man watched from outside, almost all of the residents of the dojo had left. The old man, the two children, the Battousai, the onna-sensei and the odd man with the bandanna. Leaving only the kid and the girl. He smiled. Revenge was almost upon him, he'd show the Battousai just what he could do, embarrassing him like that! He deserved punishment. This was it. He unsheathed his katana before silently leaving his hiding spot in the shadows. He began walking toward the Kamiya Dojo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "No Yahiko! You do it like this!!" Kamiya Kaoru demonstrated to her student the way the move should be done. Yahiko immitated her. Kaoru grinned. "Good, do that 200 times and you should have it." Yahiko face faulted. "200 times!!!??" Kaoru nodded. "But... but..." "You'll never learn it if you don't listen to me Yahiko." That look of `I can so do it' came over Yahiko's face. "Maybe I shouldn't be teaching such a child...." Yahiko glowered, his pride hurt. "I was just amazed you were making me do so few." He informed her. Kaoru smiled. "Oh! In that case, 500 should do it." Yahiko face faulted again. "You baka!! You can't put someone through that!!!!" Kaoru grinned. "Of course I can. As your kawaii instructor, I can make you do whatever I see fit to your training." Kaoru opened her mouth to say something else when the door flew open. Kaoru spun around to face the opening. The man turned and looked at Yahiko, who'd just taken up a guard stance, then back at her. He smiled and revealed the weapon he was carrying. Yahiko shifted his stance again when he saw the weapon the man was holding. He knew he'd seen him somewhere he was that guy that.... Yahiko's thought were cut off as the man began to move, Yahiko barely even saw him. He watched Kaoru shift her stance, then move out of the way, losing a bit of her long hair in the process. Yahiko stood his ground. The man leveled his sword at Kaoru. "Die." He said simply. Before he could move, Yahiko hit him with his bokken. The man spun around and slashed at Yahiko, missing, but he followed with a punch that sent Yahiko into the wall. He slumped to the ground unconscious. "Yahiko!!" The man turned back to Kaoru when she yelled. He raised his sword again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Thank you for seeing us here, Kenshin. I'm not the man I used to be, walking around in the dark may not be the wisest of ideas for me anymore." Himura Kenshin smiled at the old man. "No problem, Genzai-Sensei." Megumi glomped onto him from behind. "Ken-San! You must come with me and have some tea!" Kenshin tried to get out of Megumi's choke hold, mainly because he couldn't breathe. "Ano.... I have to get back to the dojo...." Megumi grabbed Kenshin by the hair and began dragging him down the road. "Nonsense, Ken-San, they'll be fine on their own for a little while." "Orooooo...." Genzai-Sensei waved as they disappeared down the street. "Goodbye, thank you." He called. "Bye-bye Ken-ni!" "Bye-bye!" Genzai-Sensei took the two little girls back into the clinic. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaoru dodged an attack, only to have another one come at her. She put up her bokken to block it. The man's real sword cut through her wooden one easily. She took a step back and searched frantically for a weapon, she dismissed the idea of running entirely, not wanting to leave Yahiko behind. She stumbled backwards and away from the man, trying to get another bokken. She tripped over the piece of her old one. The man stood over her. "DIE!!!" He began to bring the sword down. Kaoru did the only thing she could think of. She screamed. "Stop right there!!" The man stopped his sword's descent and spun around. "Who's there!?" He spotted the silloutte of a figure standing in the doorway. "Leave the Jo-Chan alone!! For love and Kenshin, I, Sailor Aku, shall punish you!!" Kaoru stared past the man at the figure in her doorway. All thoughts fled her mind as recognition dawned on her. "Sano!!!???" End Part 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any C&C are welcome. Thanx!
