Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ The Darker Life ❯ The Girl ( Chapter 1 )

A Darker Life

Phaerres: What if Hiko-san didn't train Shinta in the are of the Hiten Mitsurugi? How would our little samurai be?

Pharos: Uh….not a samurai?

Phaerres: No! Uh…..wait…..yes but not what I was leaning towards.

Phaeri: Oh.

Pharaoh: Wah I'm grounded.

Phaerres: Aunt Raven-Skylark took everything except his car.

Phaeri: Only because Pharaoh hid the keys.

Pharaoh: They were somewhere she had no business looking.

Pharos, Phaerres and Phaeri: O.O;; EW! *all run off*

Pharaoh: *reaches into his black box with the words: CENSORED on it and pulls out car keys* Mwehehehehe….

Sano sat on a bar stool sipping at his sake looked incredibly bored. "Man I'm bored! Nothing interesting is happening!"

Just as he said that of course he caught sight of a few men in the corner tormenting a red headed girl. Sano squinted and noted that the girl looked very beautiful and extremely harassed. He quickly decided she needed some help and he made his way over.

"Excuse me gentlemen," Sano smiled. "I see that you're causing some discomfort here," he said gesturing towards the girk dressed in a navy blue kimono and a baby blue sash.

"Yeah well mind you're business," one snorted.

"It becomes my business when you harass people like this!"

Only but a few moments later three barely alive men ran for there dear lives out of the bar.

Sano sat down next to the girl and smiled. "Hey are you okay?"

The girl looked up and their eyes met. She nodded and said nothing.

"Well hey do you have some place to stay?" She shook her head. "Well then it's settled! I'm sure the Missy won't mind for a bit of company."

They arrived shortly and the Kamiya dojo and Kaoru rushed out to greet them. "Sano, there you are!" Kaoru noticed the roughed up looking girl Sano had his arm slung around. "Oh my, who's this Sanosuke?"

"I donno. Hasn't said a thing since we left the bar," Sano replied.

"Oh well let's get you cleaned up," Kaoru said dragging the girl into the dojo.

The girl fought back greatly as Kaoru tried to undress her to give her a bath.

"Oh calm down will ya!" She shouted. "I'm just going to wash you up a bit."

She shook her head vigorously, causing her long tresses of red hair to sway around messily.

Yahiko walked by and peered in. "Maybe she wants to wash herself."

The girl nodded frantically and Kaoru shrugged. "Well okay. I'll wash your kimono for you."

The girl in the tub washing herself slowly as not to splash and make noise. The foam of the water just barely hid her body. Kaoru came in and placed a night robe on the basket in the corner and left the woman to finish bathing.

Awhile later the red head beauty came into the kitchen fully dressed in the plain night kimono. Her damp hair hung down limply and was tucked behind her ears.

"Oh hello," Kaoru smiled. "Dinners ready."

All during the meal the small girl remained silent with her head down. When she finished she quickly retreated and sat outside the doors holding her knees together.

Sano appeared shortly there after and sat down next to her. He caressed her unscathed face and smiled at her innocent expression. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head. (that's a lot of h's.)

"Well you should go to bed early, get some rest," Sano stood her up. He peered into kitchen and called for Kaoru.

"What Sano?" Kaoru asked.

Sano gestured towards the girl. "Room?"

"Oh!" Kaoru looked thoughtfully. "There's plenty of room in my room for an extra person."

Kaoru settled the girl into her room and pulled out an extra futon. "Where would you like it?"

The girl pointed silently to the corner to the left.

"Okay," Kaoru said and laid out the futon. "I'll be down the hall." She walked towards the door and stepped out. "Good night."

The door slid shut and the girl sighed.

The girl woke up screaming and Kaoru was instantly at her sighed. Kaoru tried to drag the dream out of her but the girl shook her head and avoided the subject.

The rest of the night wore on peacefully until a strange chill ran through the girl's body. She flitted around the room until she found her kimono and somehow managed to dress in the dark. Quietly she slipped out the room and headed towards Sano's room. She slid the door open silently and set herself down next to the sleeping Sano. She patted him gently until he stirred and gazed into her amethyst eyes.

"Oh, hey there," Sano greeted groggily. "What cha doin' in here?" His voice slurred with sleep.

The girl hesitantly moved her hand out to gently caress Sano's cheek in a soothing manner.

"Hmmmmm………."

*Tokyo police department*

Hiko-san stood before Hajime Saito and frowned. "I'd like to report a missing person."

"Do tell," Saito frowned back. "Give me a description and I'll see what I can do."

"Well it's a boy. His name is Shinta."

"Is he your son?"

"Uh….." Hiko-san looked around. "Yes."

"Tell me more."

"He has long red hair and purple eyes. He's wearing a navy blue kimono."

"All right then, we'll begin searching."

*Kamiya Dojo*

Saito stared at the Kamiya Dojo. `This is where that bartender said that a man to him here.' Saito frowned and walked up to the door. A moment later the door was opened and a bed head girl stared out daze-like at Saito.

"How may I help you officer?" Kaoru shook her head. "OFFICER!?"

"Calm down girl," Saito glowered angrily. "I'm just looking for someone, I have reason to believe that person's here."

"Oh if it's Sanosuke I'm not an accomplice, he just mooches here," Kaoru said quickly.

"No, goes by the name of Shinta," Saito said rolling his eyes. This was going to take forever.

"Uh…..no one here is by the name of Shinta," Kaoru scratched her head. "Unless that girl Sano brought home name's Shinta."

"No, no," Saito shook his hands. "It's a boy."

"A boy? No a girl," Kaoru corrected.

"Is this `girl' wearing a navy blue kimono?" Asked Saito, he was getting annoyed.

"Why yes she does, but how do you know that?" Kaoru was looked rather confused.

"I was given a missing persons assignment. Boy with long red hair and purple eyes wearing a navy blue kimono," Saito's glower intensified and he crossed his arms.

"But that simply can't be," Kaoru protested. "Sano brought in a young girl with him this evening, not a young boy."

"May I search the house then?" Saito asked with annoyance ringing in his voice.

"I don't see why not. We've got nothing to hide," Kaoru turned and led Saito to her room. "She shares a room with me." Kaoru slid open the door and realized the corner futon was empty.

"Is this some kind of joke?" The annoyance intensified.

"No no! I mustn't have seen it earlier because I was still so sleepy! Oh! Where could she be!?"

*Sano's room*

The girl pressed Sano up against the fall the stroked his chest, tweaking a toying with the hard nubs she found there. Sano moaned loudly and she traced his muscles and slowly moved her long fingers down his torso towards his groin area.

"Hey!" Sano protested. "Missy, what are you doing?"

She seemed not to hear him, to into the job laid out before her. Gently she stroked the large bulge poking at the thin material of Sano's trousers causing him to moan even louder.

Kaoru and Saito slid the door open and Kaoru's jaw dropped in disbelief.

"Oh my god! Sanosuke Sagara!" Kaoru ran over and pulled the girl off Sano. "Talking this poor girl into…." Kaoru noticed Sano wasn't paying attention.

Saito was fighting with the girl to get her out the door.

"Mr. Officer what are you doing!" Kaoru shouted.

"This boy fits the description! What's your name son?" Saito questioned.

The girl struggled to claw Saito's hand from her wrist, but to no avail. She sighed and sunk to the floor. "My name is Shinta."

TBC

the door.

"And where are you going Missy?"

She turned and noticed Sano sitting near where she just was. "Oh…."

"Huh?" Sano walked over to her. "Speak again."

She shook her head.

"Please, tell me your name," Sano pressed.

She sighed and swallowed. "My name is Shinta."

Sano stared wide eyed the girl. Her wasn't too high but not low and not in anyway a woman's pitch. "You're a guy…."

"What else would I be?" Shinta asked.
