Aoshi Shinomori pinched the bridge of his nose to help dissipate the migraine that was trying to put him in a very bad mood.

“IT’S BEEN FOREVER SINCE I’VE SEEN SAGARA! I WONDER WHEN HE’S GONNA GET HERE!” Misao yelled excitedly dancing around Aoshi’s office.

“Misao, my heart, please cease your unnecessary yelling before my skull cracks open and my brain leaks out onto the floor,” Aoshi stated in a calm voice.

“I can’t help it! I’m EXCITED!” Misao started quietly but yelled in the end.

Aoshi’s eyes flashed amber and he let out a growl before moving so fast Misao screamed when he was suddenly right in front of her. Aoshi cringed and growled loudly, amber shining through his usually ice blue eyes. Misao gulped and tried to take a step away but Aoshi pulled her against him and rested his head between her neck and shoulder.

“You know you have no reason to fear me Koishi,” Aoshi said brushing the hidden scar on Misao’s shoulder.

“I know in my heart and soul you would never hurt me, but that doesn’t change the fact that you can look damn scary when your mad,” Misao stated hugging Aoshi tightly.

“I”m not mad...just agitated,” Aoshi stated lifting his head to brush a gentle kiss across Misao’s forehead.

Misao however had other plans and jumped up crushing their mouths together in a demanding kiss, that Aoshi responded to just as aggressively.

“Sorry to interrupt, but you sent for me,” Saitou Hajime stated from the doorway.

“OH WHY DON’T YOU KNOCK!” Misao shouted blushing.

Aoshi again cringed and resisted the urge to lose all composure and strangle his mate.

“Simple Weasel...I cannot knock on the door when you leave it wide open,” Saitou stated with a smirk.

“Misao!” Aoshi snapped in warning when the girl looked like she was about to scream once again.

“Oh fine! Take his side,” Misao hissed before briskly walking out of the office. Aoshi dropped his head to his desk and instantly regretted it.

“Shinomori, today if you please I have things to do,” Saitou stated lighting a cigarette.

“Sagara is being sent our way. With him is another detective, I don’t know his name because it wasn’t given for his protection. Apparently...the man with him is being pursued violently by one Enishi Yukishiro,” Aoshi stated.

“He must be new, because I’ve never heard of him,” Saitou stated.

“Well he may be new but he’s already racked up a body count of twenty,” Aoshi stated with a frown.

“Who’s responsible for this one,” Saitou asked a trace of menace in his voice.

“I will get all the information when Sagara gets here,” Aoshi stated.

“Do you know anything about the other detective?” Saitou asked.

“Not much, just that he is male, and has risen in the ranks quickly,” Aoshi stated with an impressed tone looking over the information in his hands.

“Well we will need to get him away from Sagara before he catches his stupidity,” Saitou stated with a smirk.

“Do not start anything with him this time Saitou. You claim him as weak, but all the collateral damage done with your last brawl suggests otherwise,” Aoshi stated with a glare.

“Yes he is strong against brick and steel not against me,” Saitou stated his eyes glowing slightly.

“As you have proved over, and, over again, over the damned centuries! Why do you always end up beating the shit out of him anyway?” Aoshi asked curiously.

“Simple. He spouts he is the stronger, and my instincts tell me to prove him wrong until he gets it,” Saitou stated.
“This time ignore him,” Aoshi said irritated by their constant fighting.

“No,” Saitou chuckled.

“Damn it Hajime!” Aoshi growled.

“What? I won’t start anything unless he steps out of place,” Saitou stated.

“Keep the damage to a minimum this time Hajime the council was absolutely pissed when a ten story building was brought down to a pile of rubble during your last fight,” Aoshi warned.

“Sagara was the one who destroyed the major support beam, I only brought down a few walls,” Saitou stated.

“You are hopeless,” Aoshi sighed.

“Have I ever led you to believe I was anything else?” Saitou stated smirking.

Aoshi replied with a dark glare. Saitou could hear his teeth grind as someone banged loudly on the door.

“Yo Shinomori! Long time no see!” Sanosuke said cheerily as he entered the room.

Aoshi was about to advise Sanosuke to keep the volume down, when a squealing Misao sprang into the room and jumped on Sanosuke giving him a big hug.

“SAGARA!! I HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER! HOW ARE YOU? HOW’S MEGUMI? IS SHE WITH YOU?” Misao squealed loudly.

“Hey Misao! I’m good, Megumi’s good, and no she’s at the hospital,” Sanosuke replied with a smile.

“Misao! Calm down before you kill me,” Aoshi growled rubbing his temples.

“Oh sorry Aoshi,” Misao whispered unlatching herself from Sanosuke with a sheepish smile.

“It’s fine...will you bring me something for this headache,” Aoshi sounded very close to whining.

Misao ran out of the room to locate some sort of headache reliever leaving the men alone.

“Wow...she is still hyper as hell,” Sanosuke said laughing.

“Yes...I know,” Aoshi snapped.

“What did I do?” Sanosuke asked indigently.

“You were born,” Saitou stated lighting another cigarette.
“SAITOU! WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET BACK!” Sanosuke shouted pointing at him with his mouth agape.

“A few years ago Sagara. You really should remain up to speed with who is where,” Saitou stated.

“DON’T YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO ASSHOLE!” Sanosuke shouted.

“Sagara I suggest you close your mouth, before I am forced to rip out your voice box,” Aoshi snarled.

“He started it,” Sanosuke grumbled.

“I was merely giving some advice Sagara nothing more,” Saitou stated.

“I DON’T WANT ANY ADVISE FROM YOU! YOU SACK OF SHIT!” Sanosuke shouted.

“Sanosuke Sagara, I believe I asked you not to make our first impression a bad one before I let you out of the car,” Kenshin stated calmly.

Saitou’s attention immediately snapped to the side and his very breath slammed out of him. He would recognize that long red hair, and amber eyes anywhere. The x shaped scar wasn’t present, but that was his rival, and the only man he would ever consider his equal.

“Please forgive my friends rudeness Mr?” Kenshin asked looking at Saitou.

“Saitou Hajime,” Saitou stated extending his hand.

“Kenshin Himura,” Kenshin stated grasping the hand before him giving it a firm shake.

Saitou had a very hard time looking away from those amber eyes. Those eyes had always fascinated him. They seemed to glow constantly. Yes his own eyes were amber, but they were mixed in with a little brown and dim unless in the heat of battle or passion.

“If you start apologizing for your friend now, he may never learn to do so on his own,” Saitou said smirking over at Sanosuke.

Sanosuke’s eyes were narrowed in a suspicious scowl. He did not like the way Saitou was looking at his friend. Saitou and Kenshin’s past was anything but friendly so he couldn’t help but think the Wolf of Mibu was up to something.

“You are quite right Mr. Hajime,” Kenshin stated glaring at Sanosuke.

“Please call me Saitou,” Saitou stated charmingly still unable to look away from his ex-rival.

“Alright then. Sanosuke you owe Saitou an apology,” Kenshin stated staring at his friend expectantly.

“No way! This wasn’t even a first impression! Me and Saitou go way back, and trust me he isn’t expecting an apology. He’d probably expect hell to freeze over first,” Sanosuke stated glaring intensely at Saitou.

‘Why the hell is he staring at Kenshin like that!’ Sanosuke growled in his mind.

“He is quite right. We never have seen eye to eye,” Saitou stated.

“It doesn’t matter if you get along or not. In a working environment he should know to remain civil. Personal problems are to be dealt with in a different environment, away from ones work. Especially concerning work where you may end up depending on the person you have a problem with,” Kenshin stated.

Saitou was thoroughly enjoying listening to his ex-rivals voice. The voice was strong and sure, unlike laden with guilt as it had been in his past life. Not to mention he found Kenshin’s voice extremely sexy, and wondered what that voice would sound like when heavy with desire. Idea’s were forming in the wolf’s mind...none of them innocent.

“Extremely well put Mr. Himura,” Aoshi spoke finally getting over his shock of seeing his long dead rival/alle standing in front of him.

“You are Aoshi Shinomori?” Kenshin asked managing to pull his eyes away from the interesting Saitou Hajime.

Saitou was the only man besides himself that he knew who had eyes of amber. Though they were a dimmer shade, they were sharp and captivating all the same. Kenshin couldn’t figure out if it was the mans eyes, or something else, but the man fascinated him.

“Yes. I am the leader of this squad, and though some of your information has been sent here some rather important recent information is still needed. I hope you will be willing to fill me in,” Aoshi stated.

“Oh Aoshi I found some aspirin!” Misao stated springing into the room with a glass of water in one hand and aspirin in the other.

Misao stopped short when she caught sight of Kenshin.

“You’re...You’re...You’re!” Misao stuttered pointing at him.

Aoshi gave Misao a look warning her not to say anything of the mans past life.

“You’re hair! It’s gorgeous!” Misao squealed running over behind Kenshin and grabbing his ponytail.

Aoshi was glad for Misao’s understanding but looked at his mate worriedly when he noticed her eyes shining with unshed tears. Himura’s death in the past had hit everyone hard, Misao had never fully recovered from the death of her friend and seemed to be overwhelmed when running into his reincarnation.

“Um...thanks,” Kenshin stated glancing over his shoulder at the excited girl.

“Sorry I just get excited! Here you go Aoshi! Call me if you need anything!” Misao chirped holding back tears before running out the door.

Kenshin just kind of stood there and blinked thinking the girl a bit odd, but amusing.

“Well Himura?” Aoshi asked.

“Oh yea. A while back my partner attacked and shot me. Sanosuke saved me and got me to a hospital. That same night my partner tried again to attack me and I blew a hole in his knee cap. He got a speedy trial and was put in jail. He escaped and, I, my family, Sanosuke, and his family were sent here,” Kenshin stated.

“Why is Enishi after you?” Aoshi asked curiously.

Sanosuke opened his mouth but was swiftly interrupted.

“I arrested his younger sister for drug possession, and it pissed him off,” Kenshin stated easily his face and voice betraying the chaos in his mind.

Sanosuke threw his friend a look that stated they would be having a little chat later. Kenshin just blinked at his friend innocently. Saitou and Aoshi exchanged a glance sensing something was up.

“Confirm Sagara?” Aoshi asked.

“Yea that’s it,” Sanosuke stated deciding to back his friend for the moment.

Saitou continued to study Kenshin closely. The man had paled slightly and though no normal person would notice it, his breathing pattern had also become slightly irregular. Saitou focused his enhanced abilities to focus on Kenshin’s heart and discovered his heartbeat had sped up slightly as well.

‘What’s wrong with him?’ Saitou asked himself.

“Alright here’s what is going to happen. Today you will spend time settling in at your new location. Tomorrow afternoon I request you return here by one o’clock so I can assign you your new partners,” Aoshi stated.

“Why not just let me and Kenshin partner up? We’re familiar with each other,” Sanosuke asked.

“Yes but not with this area. I need to have you both pared with someone who knows their way around. I’m a busy man and have no time to hold your hand until you get used to your surroundings...I will leave that to your new partner,” Aoshi stated.

“Fine, are we done here?” Kenshin asked seeming more than ready to leave.

“Yes for today. See you both tomorrow...and Sagara do not be late,” Aoshi stated in a steely tone.

“It was a pleasure meeting you,” Kenshin stated to Aoshi, and Saitou before practically running out of the office.

Saitou’s eyes followed Kenshin out admiring his retreating form.

‘Nice ass,’ Saitou noted.

Sanosuke waved off Aoshi’s threat and flipped Saitou the bird before strolling out of the office.

“What peaceful days we had...are now over,” Aoshi groaned laying his head on the desk.

“No doubt,” Saitou stated walking out of the office.
