Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Nespai ❯ Sendamental ( Prologue )

Prologue

What will happen next? The former Battousai sat in the rain with no matter of the cold breeze. He thought, of course, will the fact of Shishios death be unknown to everyone in Japan? He breathed with no ominous anger. Yahiko walked out with an umbrella held tight in his hands, calling out for him.

" Kenshin! Come back in. Everyone is ready for dinner! "

Sano, at any rate, knew Kenshin wasn't paying any attention. He then threw a fist at his left cheek. Kenshin fell on a puddle with a tiny moan.

" * Hahahahaha *. Sorry Kenshin. Come on, let's get inside. ", said Sano with a little laughter in him.

"Sure, alright", replied Kenshin, while rubbing his left cheek.

They all sat down with a bowl of rice in front of them. Sano placed a dry towel over Kenshin's shoulders. Kaoru came in, sitting next to Yahiko, talking excitedly about their safe return back home. [They came home two months ago]

" It's finally peaceful, hearing 'only' the rain pour outside. And for the fact, I just got a letter from Miss Magumi."

" How are you sisters?" asked Kenshin

" Miss Magumi says there doing fine. I promised that I would visit them sometime next week." She poured green tea in her cup and sighed with joy. "

Kenshins scars healing and Sano, the idiot I thought somewhat about, actually leveled himself."

Sano looked at her with an expression that feirced Kaoru.

" What is that suppose to mean ?!?" His fist curled into a ball, but did not alarm Kaoru.

"In a good way, Sano. You surprisingly amazed me. You learned something less of time than the original person itself, do you not remember? I'm proud of you."

Sano unballed his fist with no pressure. THUMP THUMP THUMP.

" It's coming from that room.",whispered Kenshin, pointing to the room behind him. He slowly stood-up, Sano did as well, and dropped his wet towel on the floor.

"Yahiko, Kaoru. Go into the room at your left. Sano and I will look out for any sudden movements from the door at my right. Hurry!"

Yahiko and Kaoru solemnly ran into the next room as quickly s possible. THUMP THUMP. Kenshin waited for Kaoru to secure the room. BAM! BAM! There was a gun pointing at Kenshin's face.

Kenshin drew out his sword from his right hand to his left cutting the trespassers gun. The trespasser dropped half of what was his gun and drew out his own sword. There came a sudden shadow behind him. It was another. He came in closer and said,

" We make depredations (robberies) and we would like to take your stuff and kill you afterwards, if you don't mind?"

" Is this how you make greetings into strangers homes?" asked Sano, teasing them.

" I think you should leave us in peace, when you have the chance." replied Kenshin," I'm not in the good mood, so please leave and never come back!"

" Is that a threat?! Your look so little to be carrying a sword." The two trespassers laughed to no mound.

Sano crushed the lightened lamp and as then, they were benighted from every corner of the room. They may not of seen each other, but when one made a sudden hit, it all began. BAM! BAM!

There were crys of moans and gunshots flying across the room. Kaoru curled on Yahiko for they were both frightened of the clamoring noise.

There came upon a smoky fog caused by the gunshots. Sano saw one laying on the floor, crying helplessly from a broken, bleeding nose by Sano's wary punch. Sano looked down at his legs when the fog cleared up a little from their area, and saw he also broke his leg.

" You are not as cunning as you and I thought." Said Sano in a dreary but delightful mood.

"Kenshin…Kenshin! Is that you?"

Sano saw a standing shadow. He saw on the foggy floor a man, dead from eternal bleeding. Sano, then stepped on a huge puddle of blood next to a stained red sword.

" Crap!….. Kenshin?"

" Sano, I'm right here." Kenshin 'was' at the other end of the fog, for sure you already know that one of the trespassers is lying dead on the floor.

Kenshin appeared in to press the wet towel that was on the floor earlier on his right shoulder. Kenshin slowly placed back his sword on his waist band. The rain poured even harder as rage grew with anger in fanged torturous deaths.

Sano and Kenshin walked to the room to their left where Kaoru and Yahiko where. Sano knocked on the door. After a while, it opened and it seemed that Kenshin was in the same situation with his earlier aquantence, a wooden stick sword was pointing at Kenshins face.

" What is wrong with you?" asked Sano. " Don't you think we had enough?"

"Yahiko, put that down!" said Kaoru. " Oh, good. You're alright."

Yahiko put down his wooden sword and replied,

" THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!! YOU KNOW, I WAS USING AN SKILL CALLED DEFENSE, YOU DUMBASS!"

"YAHIKO"

"WHAT , I PICKED IT OFF FROM SANO, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"

" HEY!", Sano yelled loudly.

"Ssshhhhh." Kenshin was looking around and BAM! BAM!

" Come on!" yelled Kenshin. They secured the door, but it had no use.

" Look at this! One's dead! Take a look around for anyone here!"

"This one won't open!" yelled one. The other replied, " Well, then. BURN IT!"

Yahiko looked at Sano, then at Kenshin.

" Kenshin, do you think we will need to get the two reverse blade swords?"

"Good thinking, twirp" answered Sano with a smile.

"I wasn't talking to you".

" Yes, and Kaoru pack the clothes you see laying around here".

" But Kenshin…", said Kaoru with tears in her eyes.

" Get a move on! Sano grab the swords, Yahiko, bring me the cantine. It's shelfed in that closet."

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! [Kaoru screams] The fire grew larger and larger as time passed. Kaoru packed the dry clothes in Yahikos school bag and wore it for herself to carry. Yahiko felt proud to carry one of the reverse blade swords and Sano with the other.

" Lets go!" Kenshin alarmed them with a furious rush. They ran out but they seemed to be trapped.

Kenshin counted in his mind twelve men in their cornered way. Sano made the attempt to fight. Kenshin drew his sword out, leading his sword straight forward and his elbows bent to strike, but a sudden flash appeared in the sky. Everyone looked up.

[ Sano grabbed Kaoru's hand ]"While we have the chance.", yelled Sano

The twelve men scattered and so did everyone else.

They ran far away and stopped until they reached the starting path to the mountain village.

" Sano, what was that? ", asked Kaoru.

Sano did not reply just yet.

Kenshin urged him to tell and asked, "Sanosuke, it seems you know what that was. Please tell me, if you will."

" The Nespais." Answered Sano.

" The Nespais? Who are they?" asked Yahiko.

" The Nespais are rage losers who used to fought on Shishio's side with glory. Except he murdered them for fortune. They tampered with others homes and treasure and killed. Shishio had no use for them since. He just needed them to show the sign of Japan's endings. But since he died, and so did his plans, they morged a new leader and plans of their own. I thought they were fooling with me when I heard this."

"And this would have been 'when'?" asked Yahiko

" The first week we came home." Silence brung nothing forth but more darkness into the night.

" It's getting late and we have to get a move on or we'll…" Kaoru was interrupted in the disps.

" Or we'll die and burn in hell. Right. So, Kenshin where do we plan on going? After all, you're the wanderer." Smiled Sano.

" Indeed, I know that as well. But for now I have no specific place to go, Sano"

" Well, it seems to me, we'll have to travel to this path as fast as we can for now, right?" Yahiko saying this put a smile on Kaoru's face.

" Right. Even though our home was banestered, we still have other homes, do we not? So let us go."

" Your enthusiasm is mild, Kaoru. But I agree with you. What about you Kenshin?"

Kenshin took a few steps on the mountain path and looked back.

" Well, what are you waiting for? That we must, before anything else happens."

" Alright! ", yelled Yahiko.

" Yahiko, please be more quiet."

" Come on, let the squirt have some fun in his short life, will ya' Kaoru?"

Kenshin put on a morseful smile.

" Can we move on?" screeched Yahiko.

Kenshin replied quietly " That we shall ". They walked on to the path in the solemn night, peaceful as the hallows grave. The wind blew and cold fustration rised from the bloodstream of the wanderers.
