Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Sei Shi ❯ Chapter 5

Kaoru raced down the street skidding around the corner before bounding up the apartment steps. Digging around in her pockets she pulled out her keys and stuffed them in the lock throwing the door open and rushing in.

"Misao!" she shouted as she raced through the tiny flat

"Koura? What are you doing home? I thought you were working on some paperwork still?" said the half awake girl

"I was but then I found this file and-Misao are you listening?" Kaoru shouted as she walked over to the young girl dozing on the couch.

Jade eyes opened up half clouded over with sleep as she stared up at the older girl.

"Yeah I'm listening."

"I was doing the paperwork and knocked over some files-"

"Such a klutz."

"Shut up and let me finish!"

"Fine, finish your story." She said sitting up and lounging over the backside of the couch.

"One of the files I knocked over was a Division A file and here just look." She said as she shoved the camera under the girls nose

Misao glanced at the camera then to Koura before sighing and getting up and walking towards the computer. Turning it on she plugged in the camera and began to download the pictures.

"This better not be some twisted joke for me getting out before you." She muttered as she waited for the pictures to finish.

~~

Kenshin sighed and began to walk towards the temple. The only one able to give them information and he had killed him, what a night this was turning out to be. He was at the top of the shrine about to enter the ruins when Aoshi appeared from behind him.

"It would seem they were not able to hide everything before we came."

Kenshin turned to see him holding a small red marble stone with the kanji for fire on it. His golden eyes narrowed so nothing but the iris showed his lips pulling back in a snarl.

"Shishio." He growled out his golden eyes blazing with hate

~~

Misao almost fell off her chair when the pictures finished loading up. Her eyes wide from shock mouth hanging open.

"I don't believe this. Is this what she was trying to warn us about?"

Kaoru nodded her head eyes fixated on the screen before them.

"They were killed five hundred years ago, their bodies and souls separated and sealed by the four weapons of earth and the book of heaven. The weapons were entrusted to the different clans and the bodies hidden from the eyes of the world."

Misao glanced back a Kaoru who signaled for her to keep reading.

"The demon god of war and the demon god of death had ruled over the lands and were finally over thrown by four warriors. The two banished from this world by four unknown warriors with the aid of a very powerful monk. The four weapons were scattered through the world the book disappearing along with them."

Misao skimmed through it quickly glancing at the pictures of the four weapons of earth. They were a staff, a turtle shell, stones, and sword. The book was leather bound with only a few words across it and a picture of the goddess drawn on the front.

"So it was Buddhist monk that sealed their souls away then."

"That's not what I wanted you to look at."

Misao glanced up at her wondering what she could have meant when Kaoru grabbed the mouse and shifted through the pictures stopping on the last page. Misao read it carefully her eyes widening the further she got.

"What?" she whispered in shock

~~

Saitou was sitting down in the open air his eyes closed finger laced together in meditation. He had been sitting there for the better part of the morning not having heard anything from Kenshin or Aoshi and Phiona still had yet to wake up.

He took a couple deep breaths before slowly rising to his feet his eyes opening to reveal deep amber orbs. He turned around and quietly walked back into the house only to find Phiona awake and in his kitchen.

She was standing over the stove cooking what smelled like eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes. He could feel his mouth water from the smell reminding him that he had yet to eat anything.

Ever so quietly he made his way towards her stopping just short of the table leaning against the doorframe. She was humming to herself bouncing her head to the beat causing her hair to sway back and forth every so often. He also noticed that she wasn't' wearing very much and definitely not what she came in wearing.

Instead she had on one of his dark blue work shirts that came a little ways past her thigh, the sleeves rolled up someone what but still slipping past her fingers. He let his eyes roam over her figure stopping on certain spots to stare. She was really very beautiful and his could feel desire rising up.

Shaking it off he coughed to let her know he was there, no sense in her ruing the food if he scared her.

--

Phiona whirled around her pink eyes widening slightly upon seeing Loki standing in the doorway watching her. She blushed faintly and scratched the back of her head a small nervous laugh escaping her mouth.

"Sorry I didn't mean to do anything wrong. It was- I just thought-um…I was hungry." She finished lamely the red staining her cheeks getting darker the longer he stared at her not saying a word.

She glanced up and saw he was now leaning over her looking down at the food behind her. The closeness of his body to hers was causing some very weird feelings and she wasn't sure how to take them.

"I hope you don't mind?"

He glanced down at her his golden eyes boring into her own.

"No." he said before turning away and sitting down at the table.

Phiona let out the breath she'd been holding and grabbed the plates setting them down in front of him before sitting down herself.

~~

Kenshin rushed through the shadows leaping from rooftop to rooftop occasionally jumping into the nearest tree and onto the closets streetlight. He needed to get to his masters house right away.

After he had learned who had started the fire and what was going on the two spilt up. Aoshi going to get the aid of his friends while he raced towards his masters house needing to get information. He came to a halt on a large run down building his amber eyes glowing in the darkness.

Jumping down the seven story building like it was nothing and landing gracefully on the ground below he made his way inside. The place was littered in pottery, broken piece strewn everywhere, globs of clay lying around along with jugs of sake. He found his masters sitting down by one of the kilns sake jug in hand.

"What is it now baka denshin?"

Kenshin felt his eye twitch from the name that his master had dubbed him with when they first started out.

"Well I don't have all day you know. Out with it." he said before taking a sip of the sake

`All day? He's immortal he has all the time in the world.'

"Out with it."

"Master, I need to know about the four weapons of earth and the book of heaven."

The older man stopped mid actions the sake jug just barely touching his lips. His gaze resting sideways on his baka denshin. After a moment he brought the jug to his lips and took a swig wiping his mouth with the back of his palm.

"So it's that time again then is it. I was wondering when they would attempt it again."

"Master?"

The older man grunted before pulling the paddle out of the kiln and dipping it in a near by bucket of glaze then setting it back inside and taking a sip of sake.

"I would have though we killed everyone the first time around but it seems that a few survived."

Kenshin waited for him to continue but when he only stared into the fire and sipped his sake he growled and stepped forwards only to jump back to the left just missing the jug that came flying towards him.

"Hm…you seem a little slow. I think you need some practice baka denshin."

~~

Aoshi sat in the darkened room his ice-cold eyes focused on the older man sitting across from him.

" I am glad you have come to see us though I would have preferred different circumstances. No matter we will help you as we always have Lord Aoshi you just have to say."

A minute smiled passed the others lips before it vanished and he stood up.

"Hanya."

"Yes my lord?"

"Please inform the others of the mission. I would like all the information before tomorrows sunrise"

"Yes Lord Aoshi."

The figure melted back into the shadows like he was never there leaving the two alone again. The older man glanced at him a grin spreading across his face.

"So when is our great leader going to find himself a wife?"

Blue eyes stared unblinking back at him.

"I think that lovely young girl would suit you just fine. What was her name? Ah yes Misao. She is quiet the spitfire isn't she, if I was just a few centuries younger."

Aoshi stood up and left leaving the other lying on the floor holding his head a lump forming.
