Chapter 5

I have a Brother

As Faith watched the three men in front of her, she had a strange feeling that something very bad was going to happen and that she herself might be the only one able to stop it before it hits that point of no return. Faith stepped out from behind Kenshin and Saitou smiling at them both as if saying it's all right I'll be fine. As Faith approached Dashiki she saw that he was staring over her shoulder looking at Kenshin and not directly at her 'could it be he is afraid of my brother?' Faith asked her self, as she was right in front of Dashiki.

Faith: "Dashiki look at me and not at my brother." Faith said is a calm voice.

Dashiki didn't really want to take his eye off of the Battosai in fear that he might attack when he wasn't looking, but then again he probably wouldn't attack since his sister was in front of him so he did as Miss Faith had asked him to do.

Dashiki: "Yes, Miss Faith?" He asked being very leery even of her.

Faith: "Why do you fear my brother and now I?" Faith said more than asked.

Dashiki: "Isn't that obvious?" Dashiki snapped at Faith.

Faith: "Just answer my question, Dashiki." Faith said with a small hint of annoyance.

Dashiki: "How do I know that once I tell you, you will not let your bother have his way with me?" Dashiki asked in a shaky voice.

Faith: "Because right now I'm the only one you can trust." Faith said taking a step back.

Dashiki was confused by what Faith said about 'her being the only one he can trust right now'. 'She is a foolish girl I can trust whom ever I deem fit to trust' Dashiki thought to him self as a smile appeared on his face. As Faith backed away from him to gage his reactions she was surprised to see that Dashiki was smiling to him self as he shook his head several times to clear his head again before he spoke.

Dashiki: "You are very wrong Miss Faith, for I can trust whom ever I want." He said with a grin on his face.

Faith: "That is true Dashiki, but how do you know that the others will be on your side." Faith said more than asking.

Dashiki hadn't thought of that, but now that he had he realized that Faith probably was the only one he could trust aside from Saitou but then again it was pretty apparent that Saitou was on Faiths side. 'Damn she's right!' Dashiki cursed himself for acting the way he did.

Dashiki: "Apparently you are right Miss Himura." Dashiki said.

Faith: "Now are you going to tell me why you are here and why you are frightened of Kenshin." Faith asked.

Dashiki: "Of course Miss Himura, as you wish." Dashiki said looking at Faith.

Dashiki wasn't about to tell her the truth to why he was there because it would only cause trouble for Miss Himura, Faith, in the long run so he wouldn't exactly tell her the whole truth but he would tell her why he was afraid of Kenshin that was easy HE'S THE LEGENDARY MANSLAYER HITOKIRI BATTOSAI! Dashiki himself wasn't completely stupid or arrogant.

Dashiki: "It's simple Miss Himura. Your brother is the Legendary Manslayer Hitokiri Battosai." He said eyeing Kenshin for only a moment. Faith: "Yes I already know this." Faith said rubbing her temples. Dashiki: "Do you have a headache Miss Himura?" He asked with an evil grin. Faith: "Dashiki, you are starting to get on my nerves." Faith said looking at him through hooded eyes. Dashiki took several steps away from Miss Himura beings he didn't really feel like dieing today and especially by the hands of a woman no less the Battosai's little sister. Kenshin took noticed of this action and with his lightening fast reflexes came to stand behind Dashiki with his sword drawn and ready to slice Dashiki right then and there if he took another step. Kenshin: "Leaving so soon Dashiki?" Kenshin asked roughly. Dashiki: "No of course not Mr. Himura." Dashiki said swallowing hard. Kenshin: "Good wouldn't want you to miss anything." Kenshin said from behind Dashiki. Faith: "Let him go Kenshin I am done asking questions." Faith said looking up at the two men in front of her. Kenshin: "Are you sure Faith?" Kenshin asked a little surprised that she wanted him let go. Faith: "Yes Kenshin it's fine he'll return anyway." Faith said turning around and walking away. Kenshin: "Leave before I change my mind." Kenshin said threateningly. Dashiki: "Yes Sir. Mr. Himura." Dashiki said high tailing it out of the Dojo. When Dashiki left everything was a little different now that Faith knew who she was and that she was the Legendary Battosai's little sister. Saitou was shocked that Kenshin would actusually take orders from a girl no less his sister but then again he does take orders from Kaoru. Sano: "Well that was interesting." Sano said scratching his head. Yahiko: "Yeah it was. I wonder if that Dashiki guy will return?" Yahiko asked no one in particular. Faith: "Yes he will and he'll probably insist that I go with him next time." Said Faith rather bluntly. Kenshin: "Not if I have anything to say about it." Kenshin said with a hint of possessiveness. Everyone looked at Kenshin as if he had said something non-characteristic but then they realized upon looking at him that Battosai was still very visible in Kenshin's eyes and was just protecting his long lost little sister that he never knew he had.
