Ta i : Hey Everyone!
Hakkai: I see that it's not International Pimp Week anymore.
Ta i : You are correct my good man because this week it is International Clown Week!
Goku: *puts a clown nose on and honks it making a squeak*
Tai : How come Goku here *wraps arm around Goku's shoulder* is always up to date with these International Weeks and you guys aren't?
Goku: ' Cause I have a calendar and they don't.
Ta i : Well, I guess that means that Goku is the only one who gets a cookie. *puts a cookie right in front of Goku's mouth* Open up Goku.
Goku: *opens his mouth*
Gojyo: I want a cookie
Ta i : *puts the cookie into Goku's mouth* Then be up to date with these International Weeks. If you are, then I will give you a cookie too.
Gojyo : That's not fair. *pouts*
Ta i : Aww, poor Gojyo *goes over and hugs him* Don't worry, *whispers into his ear* I'll give you a cookie in a few minutes.
Gojyo : YAY! *hugs Kasumi back* Thank you so much , Kasumi !
Kasumi : *after a few moments of embracing* Gojyo , you can let go of me now
Gojyo: Heh heh, sorry. *let's go of Kasumi *
Ta i : Thank you. Now, who wants to say the disclaimer today? Give me a show of hands
Goku: *raises hand*
Gojyo : *doesn't raise hand*
Sanzo: *doesn't raise hand*
Hakkai: *doesn't raise hand*
Ta i : Alright, Goku, it's your turn to say the disclaimer ^_^
Goku: *grins* Ok, Nanako does not own Rurouni Kenshin. If she did, Kaoru and Misao wouldn't be in it.
Ta i : And that is how you say a proper disclaimer ^_^. Oh yeah, and if you guys like Misao and Kaoru, you may not like this fanfic because...THEY AREN'T IN IT!
Goku: *grins wider*
Ta i : let's get on with the fanfic now! *starts to play with a dancing hamster that sings "Mr.Roboto"*
Sanzo: Not that thing again *sweatdrops*

By one way of measuring time, it was 1735. In Japan, it was known as the twenty-sixth year of the reign of the Emperor Nakaikado. It was the age of the samurai, the hereditary warriors whose code required one's every act to be guided by loyalty, courage, and honor.
I swear on the waters of this lake
From this spring on
I shall wait for you without change
Just as the waters of this lake shall never warm
Just as in fairy tales
I shall wait for you as a woman who perishes becomes a flower
To await her beloved husband
Even if my life were to fade
I shall transform myself into a flower to await your return
So please return safely
I shall wait for you here
Forever
And ever The words of Kenshin's girlfriend, Sukina, ran through his mind . Sukina... I'll be there soon. .. If you kept your promise, th en you should still be there. .. thought Kenshin as he headed towards the
The moon shown brightly down on the water, making it glisten. "Where are you, Kenshin?" asked a female, who looked like she was around 18 years old. "Ah, so I see you are waiting for the legendary Battousai," said a voice from out of the shadows. The girl looked all around to see where the voice had come from. "Don't be frightened my dear sweet Sukina, I'm not going to hurt you................"said the voice again . That voice. It sounds so familiar, but where have I heard it?" Sukina asked herself. "You don't remember me, do you, Sukina?" said that voice out of nowhere. "Who are you and what do you want?" Sukina asked, sounding braver than she was actually feeling. She continued to look for who the voice belonged to. A boy stepped out of the shadows and stood a few yards away from Sukina. Sukina's eyes widened when she saw who it was. "It's...............it's you.." Sukina managed to say. "Yes, it is I, Soujiro. I have come for you , Suki-chan ." Sukina just stood there, surprised that she had just seen her best friend again, but, somehow, he seemed..different. "Soujiro, what do you mean?" Sukina asked Soujiro . Soujiro's face was emotionless as he spoke, "Mister Shishio would like me to bring you to him, Sukina. I must listen to Mister Shishio's orders." Sukina just turned around and ran as fast as she could. "Running won't help you." Soujiro said. He got ready to do his special move, Shuku-chi, which could make him run so fast, that he becomes invisible to his opponent. He then ran in front of Sukina , her not having any idea that he was right in front of her. Sukina ran right into Soujiro and he grabbed her and ran off.

Kenshin walked up to the stream, intending to meet Sukina there, but when he got there, the only thing there was a note. He picked up the note and read.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Note*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hitokiri Battousai,
I have Sukina Hinamoto in my grasp. If you want to get her back, you will have to fight the Ju Pon Gatana and Mister Shishio himself. See you then.
Seta Soujiro
P.S. Come alone or else the girl gets it

Kenshin went back to the dojo to tell everyone that he was going to go fight Shishio. "But Kenshin, you can't do it by yourself!" Yahiko said. "I have to, Yahiko, that I do." Kenshin replied as he sat there near the open sliding door ( A/N: I forgot what they call them ^_^ ). "The runt is right, Kenshin. You can't do this by yourself. Let me go with you." Sanosuke said, his hands balled into fists on the table that was in front of him. Kenshin sighed, knowing that even if he said no, Sanosuke would still come. "Alright, you can come, Sanosuke." Kenshin said as he stood up and walked out the sliding door.
