OOC: Here we go guys.




Kenshin Himura walked along the dusty mountain road. His legs were tired do to the fact that he had been walking for many hours. The breeze kicked up and tossed his reddish hair about. As he walked on, he thought to himself about the years past. About his old life. About the Hitokiri Battousai. He shuddered at the thought. [I]I will never again be like that, that I won't. [/I] He thought to himself. As he walked on, he came to a small village. "I didn't know there was anything here..." he wondered aloud. "It wouldn't hurt to visit the people."

[Sakura]

Sakura walked out of the inn she had been staying at.
She looked around.It was early in the morning and pretty much the whole town was awake.
She juggled her double ended glaive and gave it a twirl.Then she walked off to find some breakfast.Sakura saw a cafe nearby so she walked over to see what food they offered.She walked up to the counter and looked at the menu.She finally decided to order a hot chocolate and some pancakes.Sakura wasn't very hungry so it was only a small meal.She went to a table and sat down.She set her glaive down on the table and waited for the meal.When the meal came she drank and ate in silence.When Sakura had finished she picked up her glaive and left the cafe and started looking for entertainment.

Miyuki sighed, looking at the frail old lady in front of her, announcing to a crowd of men. "Listen up! If you can beat my Miyuki in a little sword fight, you get a date with this beautiful young lady!" she growled at the old lady, shooting glares at her. [i]What have I got myself into?[/i] she thought, looking at the men lined up to have a one on one fight with her. The old lady clapped her hands together in joy, grabbing Miyuki.

"Hey!" she shouted. "Why do I have to do this?"

The old lady peered at her, "You have to make your money someway. Besides" looking at the men, "anyone of them wouldn't last with you whipping their behind." Miyuki sighed, grabbing on of the lady's trusted swords.

Seeing her first challenger, which happened to be a very huge demeaning man, she untied her ribbon. "Hey there sweetness." the man called to her, "I'm one of the best so I'm gonna go easy on ya." She looked at the man, unsheathing her sword, not saying a word.

[i]Strike![/i] the man was down, his robe cut across in the front. Least to say, he ran home in fright. Miyuki tilted her head a bit, "Next!" she smirked in victory, looking at some of them walking away, their pride still intact.

Kray walked down a narrow path. His last warrior he gurued died to a swordsman. He was ashamed. Even with his great skills, he couldn't help that young warrior. He contiued down the path untill he found a village. He then saw a crowd, surrounding 2 warriors. Then he overheard something about a fight. This was his chance. If he could convince a warrior to train under him and succeeds, then maybe he would be closer to resting in peace. He ran down the hill to meet up to the crowd...

Kenshin walked into the little village. From his original posistion, it had looked like an unactive village. However, upon arrival Kenshin found that to be wrong. Little children ran around playing. Restaurants were busy, and people were all over the shops.

Kenshin weaved amongst the people until he reached a small crowd. In the center, a man and woman were fighting. The woman seemed very skilled as she struck the man down quickly. "What's going on here?" Kenshin asked a man next to him. The man looked at him and replied, "That woman is Miyuki. She's an excellent fighter. Whoever beats her gets a date with her." Kenshin looked over to see another man fall. "Is this best you guys can do?" Miyuki asked impatiently. The man next to Kenshin pushed him forward. "You've got a sword with you, why don't you fight?" he asked, while pushing Kenshin even more. "But I-" Kenshin was cut off by an old woman. "Well, here's our next challenger!" she shouted. Kenshin realized quickly that he was in the ring. "Well, if I have to, then fine." he said, drawing his sword. "You seem very talented, Miyuki. I'll go easy on you, though." "Maybe I shoud go easy on you." Miyuki answered. "I'm not your average girl." "I can see that." Kenshin answered. "But I'm not your average man."

[Sakura]

Sakura had finished her breakfast and went to explore what all the noise was about.She walked over and pushed her way through the crowd.
She finally saw what was happening.There was a girl and a guy in the middle of the group.It looked like they were about to fight.Sakura stayed there intent on watching,someone accidently moved backwards and backed into the end blade of her glaive.The person jumped and rubbed his behind.Then Sakura went back to watching the soon to start battle.

Miyuki drew her sword, holding it in front of her. "No 'ordinary man' huh? Well, as far as I can see it, you're just a [i]man[/i]!" she charged the man, looking directly at him. She blinked her eyes a few times, [i]Where is he?[/i] she thought, turning around, face to face with the blade of his sword.

The man smiled seeing her face. Miyuki ducked and charged him again, the same effect coming into play--he disappeared. Again and again she did this. "Hey! Be still!" she charged him again, smirking. Before she reached him, she stopped and turned around, striking her sword.

"I was wondering when you would figure it out." he chuckled, blocking her strike. Her smirk widened, "No more games!" she yelled, striking him again, ducking under his block. She brought her sword down, to be blocked again by the smiling man. She sighed in anger, sheathing her sword.

"Well, it seems that I've been defeated. You win." she sighed again, walking to the shocked old lady. "I'll go and get ready...show him in, Omisu-san." she nodded, grabbing the man's arm, raising it in victory as the crowd cheered.

Kray: WAIT!

Kray ran to meet the young 2.

Kray: You 2 are quite talented, I could train your skills and you'll be the best in the land.

Miyuki: You're probably all talk old man.

Kray: :sweatdrop:Uh, I'll only 30!!

Miyuki: Yeah right, I think I'll pass...

[Sakura]

Sakura ran after the two winners.
Sakura:Stop!!
They both turned to face her.
Sakura:That was a great battle.I would like to have a match against the both of you.
They both looked at each other.
Kenshin:We'll think about it.
Then they both walked away and Sakura looked at them steamed for battle.

Kenshin stopped and turned to Miyuki. "I didn't fight you for a date." he said. "Why'd you fight me then?" Miyuki asked. "I fought you because you seemed like a very good fighter. Now that's been proven." Kenshin answerd. He was about to walk away when Miyuki asked, "How did you get to be so good?" Kenshin turned to her. His gaze met her's and they stared at eachother for a while. "That I wish to keep to myself." he answered. "But why?" asked Miyuki. "It brings up too many bad memeories..." Kenshin asnwered. "Maybe I'll meet you later." WIth that, Kenshin walked away, leaving Miyuki behind. To himslef he whispered, "I know I'll meet her again."

[Xra]

Kray: Hey you, red head. She turned me down, but how about you.

Kenshin: I dunno it depends....

Then, Kenshin speeds towards him and jumps, ready for a downward slash. Kray dissappears an reappears behind him, sword at his neck.

Kray: Well, does that answer your question?...

[spike speigel]

"Well, I see you are an excellent swordsman, however....I wish for no lesson." Kenshin said, sheathing his sword. "Why not?" Kray asked. "I wish not to kill. Only to protect." Kenshin said. "I see..." Kray trailed off. "Hey, you!" a familiar voice called out. Kenshin and Kary turned to see Miyuki. "So you just leave me like that!?!" she shouted. "Sorry," Kenshin said. "but I told you I do not wish for a date." "Well, you could at least tell me where you live so I can see you again." Miyuki said. "I want a rematch." "I'll inform you as soon as I find an Inn." Kenshin responded. "Inform me too!!!" Kray shouted as Kenshin began to walk away, looking for an Inn.
