A Manslayer Story: A Tale of Love and Hate (please R&R)

(Part 2)

Boss: Ahh!!! (starting to back away) No.......please, don't!!!

Tim: .........(kneels down to pick up his sword, then he flips the blade)

Boss: No.......don't kill me!!!

Tim: ..............(continues glaring, then he squinches his eyes and says in an evil voice.....) Perish, insect!

Boss: Ahh......(about to run away)

Tim: Don't even think about it!!

Boss: Uhh......!!!

(2 dozen men suddenly come out of the temple)

Man 1: Boss, stay back, we'll kill him for you!

Man 2: Leave everything to us!

Boss: Wait, you fools! Don't!!

Tim: (disappears then appears in front of the men and starts slaughtering them. As his sword pierces everyone, their blood and guts land all over Tim. After killing all 24 men, Tim stares evily at the boss.) One more insect to go.

Boss: Uhh........ahh........!!!

Tim: (disappears) Hiten Mitsurugi Style........

Boss: What the hell?! Where is he?!

(WOOSH)-shows up behind him

Boss: Aahhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: ..............AKAMEKI SUPER SLASH!!!!!!! (does five consecutive slashes)

(SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH)

(BOOOOOOM)

(Blood flies everywhere, most of it on Tim. After 15 seconds of silence, Tim smirks then starts laughing.)

Misao: (running, breathless) Please.........I hope I'm not too late. (shows up at the front doors, then......) Aahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! (she see's the most terrible sight; lifeless bodies, sliced off heads, arms, and legs, blood everywhere you look. She then see's Tim......standing there.....facing away from Misao) Tim!!!!!

Tim: ........................

Misao: (starting to cry) Uhh.........

Tim: .................(turns towards her, showing blood rolling down his face)

Misao: T.........Tim???

Tim: ........(smirks) So.....we meet again.

Misao: Stop it........

Tim: ..........This time........(places sword in front of his face) I'll make sure to kill you.

Misao: Ahh........(stepping back) No.......

Tim: ............(charges with god-like speed towards Misao then stops RIGHT in front of her.......sword pointed at her face)

Misao: ......Uhh.......(falls to her knees) Tim......

Tim: (stands there in silence, staring at Misao with an evil face, sword still pointing at her face)

Misao: .......................

(BOOOM)

(The rain is now coming down hard)

(For 1 minute straight, Misao remains kneeling on the ground with the most frightening look on her face. Tim keeps the evil look with the sword pointed towards her, his hair is hiding his eyes and the blood all over him is being washed off from the rain.......then.......)

Tim: ........Uhh......(hand with sword starts shaking)

Misao: ............Tim?

Tim: M.......Mi......Misao........

Misao: ..................

Tim: Uhh......(drops sword) I.......(raises hand towards his face and looks at all the blood all over it) I.........What did I do???

Misao: Tim......(get's up) here.....(offers him a cloth)

Tim: ........................

Misao: Tim........take it.

Tim: GET AWAY!!!!!

Misao: Ahh........!!!

Tim: ..............(walks away from her, then says.......) We.......Misao.........I..........I don't think we should see each other anymore.

Misao: But Tim.........

Tim: ..........I'm sorry.....but it's for your own good.

Misao: Uhh.........

Tim: ............Farewell. (walks out of the yard)

Misao: ..................(starts crying)

(And so.........in the pouring rain, Misao kneels in the middle of the bloody battlefield, crying out for the one she loves to return)

Tim: Misao........Misao?

Misao: (regaining conciousness) Ohhh.........(coughcough) Tim.........

Tim: It'll be alright......just lay down.

Misao: Tim......why? Why did you do it?

Tim: .........I couldn't help it. The power......it just came to me.......devouring my very soul.

Misao: ..........(starts crying)

Tim: ........(places hand against her cheek)

Misao: Tim.........(places hand on top of his) please.......you have to kill Shishio. When you do......we'll finally be happy.

Tim: I know Misao.......(smiles, tears rolling down his cheek) that day will come soon. I know that when I beat him......it will almost be time for our anniversary.

Misao: (smiles) Our anniversary.......I can't wait.

Tim: ...........(leans down to kiss her)

Misao: (kisses him)

Act III: Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 20-Loneliness:Where is Tim???

Misao: (talking in her sleep) Tim........please........(opens her eyes) Uhhh......Tim? (sits up) Ahh......!!! (see's all the bloody body parts and everything around her from last night) Uhh......it wasn't a dream......it really happened. (lowers her head) Tim.......why?

(Flashback)

Tim: I'm sorry Misao.....but I must leave you.

Misao: Uhh.........

Tim: ...........Farewell.

(End flashback)

Misao: Uhh......Himura......and the others!!! They must be worried about me! (get's up and runs to the front doors. She looks back then has a frightening flashback of Tim standing in the middle of the bloody chaos......with the evil glare. She then runs home.)

(The dojo)

Miraki: So......you're not sure where they are?

Kaoru: They left yesterday to go fight the Hichimanji.......but now it's made us worry that.......(starts crying)

Miraki: Miss Kaoru, don't cry. We'll find them, don't worry.

Kaoru: Thanks chief.......(sniff) we really miss them.

Miraki: I understand. (bows) I'll be by later.

Kaoru: (bows) Thanks. (she closes the front doors and walks inside)

Kenshin: Did he decide to help?

Kaoru: Yeah.....he'll do his best.

Sano: What do you think happened to them?

Kenshin: I'm hoping Tim didn't become what he hates.

Sara: What he hates?

Kenshin: A killer......he's also known as the battousai like me since he's my reincarnation.

Sara: Tim.........

Yuki: Misao and Tim are married, right? Would Tim ever harm her?

Kenshin: We never know......since he loses all sense of himself when he becomes a hitokiri, in a manner of speaking.

Yuki: .................

Kaoru: Is anyone hungry?

All: Yeah..........

(Kaoru get's rice and fish out and serves everyone. They settle down to eat, then 15 minutes later.......)

(EERNGHHH)-the front doors open

(Standing in the doorway with her eyes closed, trying to catch her breath from running, is Misao. There is also blood on her legs where she knelt on the ground before.)

Kaoru: Misao!!!

Misao: Miss Kaoru......Uhhh.........(falls to her knees, gasping for breath)

Kenshin: Miss Misao!!

(They all run to her)

Yahiko: Misao!? What happened, and where's Tim?!

Misao: .........He.........he........

Kaoru: .......What?

Misao: He........slaughtered......all of them.

All: ..........!!!!!

Misao: It was........so horrible. (crying)

Yuki: .........(goes to her and hugs her) It's alright sister.....You're safe now.

Misao: Yuki..........

All: ....................

(Early evening)

(Misao comes out of the bath room wearing a robe and walks into her room. She changes into her normal clothes then walks outside and sits down right outside on the porch.)

Kaoru: (approaching her with a plate of rice balls) Here Misao, you hungry?

Misao: No thank you.

Kaoru: Are you sure? You haven't eaten since you got home.

Misao: I'm too worried to eat.........

Kaoru: .........(smiles) Good night then. (leaves)

(After she leaves, Misao lowers her head and closes her eyes, thinking of who she might've lost.......for good.)

(Flashbacks play)

(Tim carrying Heather while she's sleeping in his arms)
(Both of them hugging after Tim recovered from the curse)
(Riverbed scene that night)
(Meeting each other)
(After the tournament)
(Wedding)

Misao: ........Tim.

(Kyoto)

Man: Sir!

Shishio: What is it?

Man: The Hichimanji Gang.......has all been slaughtered.

Shishio: .......(smirks) Excellent!

Man: Is there anything else you want me to do?

Shishio: Yes, there is.......now that I'm sure that he feels bad for what he did, he'll be out of the way now, but......

Man: Sir?

Shishio: He might return to his goody two-shoes self if he stayed around that damn ninja girl, so......kill her! Make sure she's alone!

Man: Yes sir!!

---------------------------------------------------

Misao: Hey, Miss Kaoru?!

Kaoru: Yes?

Misao: I'm going to go to the riverbed. I'll be back soon.

Kaoru: Okay, be careful.

(She leaves and starts walking downtown. She walks with her head down, weeping. She's widely known around Tokyo, so some people ask where Tim is. Sometimes she just said he's visiting someone or she just kept walking on. Afterwards, she shows up at the riverbed and sits down. The wind is blowing a little and Misao closes her eyes, letting the wind blow her hair)

(Suddenly.......)

(CRACK)-stick breaking

Misao: Uhh.......(suddenly get's up and turns around) Tim.....is......is that you?

(A dagger flies out from the brush)

Misao: Ahhh!!!!

(CLING!!!)-blocks with kunai

Misao: Who's there?!

????: Misao Makimachi......we finally got you. (a man comes out, followed by 20 Chain Gang members)

Misao: Ahh!!!

????: Greetings! My name is Brian....Brian Fujika. I'm part of the New Juppongatana.

Misao: So, what's with the visit?!

Brian: We have orders from Lord Shishio to do away with you while the battousai is out of the picture!

Misao: (shocked) What?! Tim is dead?!

Brian: He heard about what happened at the temple and believed that he took his own life for what he did.

Misao: ..........(drops kunai) No........

Brian: (smirks and walks up to her. He puts his hand around her chin.) Don't worry. If you happen to escape death here, Lord Shishio will take special care of you, BUT.....(slaps her hard) that won't happen!!

Misao: (crying) Tim.........why.........?

Brian: Sniveling *****! Get her, now!!!

(They all charge towards her)

TO BE CONTINUED

WAAAA lost of chapters i hadn't read O.O poor misao

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 21-Will to Live:Reunion with the One Misao Loves

Brian: Get her!!!

Men: (charging) Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Misao: Tim..........

(closer)

Tim...........

(closer)

TIM!!!!!!

(WOOSH)

Men: Aaahhh.......Uhhh?! (stops)
What the hell?!
Where'd she go?!

Man: There!! (points to the left)

(Who they see is Tim holding Misao in his arms, unconcious now)

Brian: Battousai........what the hell?!

Tim: Misao........(lays her on the ground) I'm sorry. (walks towards the men)

Men: (shaking) Oh no!! We're going to die!!

Brian: Get him, you damn cowards!!

Men: (charging) Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Tim: .......(unsheathes sword, making sure he doesn't use the sharp side of the blade) I will repent.....(charges forward) for your sake.

(He hits everyone unconcious at god-like speed then stops and stares at Brian)

Brian: Bastard! You'll get your's someday!! (runs away)

Tim: ...........(sheathes sword) Scumbags. (runs too Misao) Hey, Misao? (lifts her up and holds her left hand) Misao, you okay?

Misao: Uuhhh......(opening her eyes a little) who.......who is........it? (stuggling to see her savior and smiles) T......Tim? Is that......you? Uhhh......(closes her eyes)

Tim: Oh Misao.....(hugs her) I'm so sorry.

------------------------------------------------

(The following morning)

Misao: ......Uhh.....(opens eyes) Tim.....Ahh!!! (suddenly sits up) Tim?! (looks towards Tim's bed) Was.......all that a dream? (sigh)

(Sounds of a happy child comes from outside)

Misao: Huh? Heather sounds happy for some reason. (stands and opens the door) Ohh......(She see's Heather running around with a ball, Tim chasing her) Tim..........(tears form) he's okay.

Tim: ......Huh? (notices Misao)

(They stare at each other for a few seconds)

Tim: Misao......(smiles)

Misao: Tim.......(runs too him and jumps into his arms, crying)

Tim: Everything's alright now Misao.......we're together again, as a family.

Heather: Yaay, a family!!

Misao: Heather.......(hugs her tightly)

Heather: Mommy, I can't breathe.

Misao: (sniff) (let's go) Sorry honey.

Tim: Misao?

Misao: Yes Tim?

Tim: (holds her hands) Do you.......forgive me for what I did?

Misao: Tim.......(smiles) of course I do. I know very well what and who you are. I know you feel sorry for what happened. That's just the kind of man you are.

Tim: (smiles) Yeah, I guess so.

Misao: (smiles and puts her hand on his left cheek) This wound......I remember how you got it.

Tim: Yes, my fight with Magnus;he was most likely the strongest opponent I've faced, next to Shishio.

Misao: But with the goodness in your heart, you've made him a friend.

Tim: Yeah.......(places hand on top of her's)

Misao: ........Huh? (notices a tear) Tim........

-------------------------------

(Dinner time)

(Everyone is popping up conversations here and there as Tim and Misao are having their own. Just when dinner is over, there's a knock at the door.)

Tim: I'll get it. (he opens the door) Huh, Magnus!

Magnus: Hey Tim. It's been a while, huh?

Tim: I guess so. You could say that.

Magnus: Ever since that incident, it seems like Misao has gotten closer to you.

Tim: That's true. We certainly understand each others feelings, that we do.

Misao: (approaches Tim's side and puts her arm around him. They look at each other and smile. She then speaks to Amanda) Hey Amanda, been taking care of your brother?

Amanda: Yeah........I've been doing everything I can.

Misao: (smiles) Hey Magnus.

Magnus: Hey there Misao. (winks) Looking good.

Misao: (blushes) Heh, thanks.

Tim: Hey Magnus, are you trying to hit on Misao?!

Misao: So what? I like him better anyway.

Tim: What!? Misao?!

Misao: (laughs)

Tim: Huh? (starts laughing too) You scared me there.

Misao: (hugs him) There's no way I would leave you.

Tim: Me too. (hugs her)

(Magnus and Amanda smile)

------------------------------------------------

(Late evening)

(Tim and Misao are sitting alone outside on the porch of the dojo. Misao is sleeping soundly on Tim's shoulder. Tim is still awake, looking at the stars.)

Magnus: (coming from inside the dojo) Sir Tim?

Tim: Oh..........Magnus. What is it?

Magnus: I've come to ask you something.

Tim: What might it be?

Magnus: (sits next to Tim) It's about you and Misao. How did you two meet?

Tim: (smiles) Heh......boy, it seems like forever since we met. It was possibly one of the best days of my life since we became great friends that day. (closes his eyes and lowers his head, smiling) I was sleeping under a tree till I heard a voice. It was her. The moment we laid eyes on each other, I knew we'd be together for as long as we could. Then, we found a girl, Heather, at a village that was destroyed by Shishio. She had nowhere to go since her whole family lived in that very village before. We decided to take her in as our own. After we thought Shishio was killed for good, we got married, promising to share each other's love.

Magnus: It seems being here is making up for the horrible life you said you lived in your world, huh?

Tim: Yes, it certainly is. (looks at Misao) Misao recently said to me.....that she has shown me how life really is. I thank her for that.

(Magnus smiles)

Tim: It's getting pretty late. We should get to bed.

Magnus: Yeah. Good night Tim.

Tim: Good night Magnus.

(Magnus walks into his room)

Tim: Misao.........hey, Misao?

Misao: ..........Hmm?........

Tim: We should get to bed.

Misao: Can we....sleep out here tonight? It feels nice....... sleeping on your shoulder.

Tim: Misao......(holds her hand) Sure. We'll sleep out here. (kisses her) Good night.

Misao: Good night Tim. (kisses him then lays on his shoulder again)

Tim: (smiles, and says to himself......) Let's hope life stays this way......after I gain my freedom. (remains holding her hand and then closes his eyes and lays on her shoulder too)

What the Fuc* Wtf say it all you are too full of yourself and you like kenshin a bit too much. Queer. (I mean if you were gay the only men you would go after is either yourself or the ""manslayer"" LOL get it, its funny you know like when a girl say you slay me (mean she fallen for you) and kenshin Slays men get it LOL Ha Ha very funny um... back to making fun of your work all in all its a good piece I liked it but could have been better you are as I said before to full of yourself
Please dismiss my rude words but keep the meaning
have a nice day

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 22-Thinking Ahead: Decision for Gaining More Strength is Made

(The next morning)

Misao: ........Mmm.......(opens eyes) Man, morning already. (lifts her head off Tim's shoulder and stretches, then....) Huh? A blanket. Miss Kaoru must've covered us up after we fell asleep. (looks at Tim) He's so peaceful.....(puts hand on wounded cheek) Hey Tim, it's morning.

Tim: Hmmm? (opens eyes) Hey......your hands are sort of cold.

Misao: They are? (puts hand against her cheek) Oh.......(smiles) guess they are.

Tim: (smiles and kisses her) Good morning.

Misao: Good morning Tim.

Tim: Huh? (notices blanket)

Misao: Miss Kaoru must've covered us up last night.

Tim: (softly laughs) We must've looked cute together, huh?

Misao: (blushes) Yeah, probably.

Tim: (stands up and breathes in the fresh air, looking up at the sky) I had a dream with you in it.

Misao: Huh......you too?

Tim: (looks at her with a peaceful smile) I wished that it would've never ended, and that it would come true.

Misao: What happened?

Tim: We were living our lives peacefully......with our new born.

Misao: Wha? We had a child?

Tim: Yeah, a boy. His name was Yasuo, which means peaceful.

Misao: (blushes) Ohhh....

Tim: In my dream, he was 7, practicing swordsmanship. I was working on it with him, while you and Heather were cheering him on to do his best. Yasuo accepted them with all his heart, and kept going. Yasuo.......he resembled me a lot, personality and all. If it does come true, I know he'll become the next generation of swordsmen in the future of Japan.

Misao: Tim.........

Tim: (sits down next to Misao and holds her hand) Misao......do you want to have that child?

Misao: Well, Tim.......I don't know;I mean, there's everything that is going on, and......

Tim: Please.

Misao: Uhh......(looks at his face) Tim.........

Tim: .....................

Misao: .............(sighs happily) Sure Tim. (hugs him) I'll make your dream come true.

Tim: Misao........(hugs her) Huh? (hears her crying. He then smiles)

(After a minute of enjoying each other's company)

Tim: So........what was your dream like?

Misao: Oh......well, (blushes) I don't remember.

Tim: (softly laughs) Okay. (stands up) Well, I shall go speak with Kenshin. I'll be back. (walks off)

Misao: Sure Tim.

(Backyard)

(We're shown Kenshin humming while he's doing the laundry)

Tim: Sir Ken?

Kenshin: Hmmm? (looks) Sir Tim, what is it?

Tim: I have something I need to talk to you about.

Kenshin: (dries his hands off) What about?

Tim: It's about Seijiro Hiko.

Kenshin: My master?

Tim: Yeah. I plan on going to train with him.

Kenshin: ........(walks towards him) You think he has an answer to your problem?

Tim: Yes.......I do.

Kenshin: ..................

Tim: .............Shall I leave today?

Kenshin: I suppose so, if you plan on defeating Shishio as fast as you can.

Tim: You think......I'll succeed when that time comes?

Kenshin: All good people have a future. That's......just how life goes.

Tim: Kenshin.......I swear....(lowers head for an moment)

Kenshin: Sir Tim?

Tim: ..........(raises head, tears forming in his eyes) I swear for this country's sake, you, everyone else, and.......my future with Misao, I will kill him......(unsheathes sword) with this sword.

Kenshin: .......................

Tim: ...........(sheathes sword) Well.......I shall be off. (turns around) I'll be back soon. (leaves)

(The porch)

Misao: (sitting there, humming a song)

Tim: (coming around the corner without her noticing) (himself) Huh........that song she's humming.....Uhh......!! (has a flashback as a young kid, about to fall asleep in bed, his mom humming the same song to him)

Tim: Mom........

Misao: Tim, is that you?

Tim: (comes around corner) Yeah, it is.

Misao: Is something wrong?

Tim: (shakes head slowly) No......it's nothing.

Misao: (smiles) Okay.......So, you done talking?

Tim: Yeah, and.........

Misao: Tim?

Tim: I have to leave you again.

Misao: What?

Tim: I'm going to go visit Seijiro Hiko and train with him. He's the only one who can help me with my problem of reverting to the Shishio within me.

Misao: I can't go with you?

Tim: No.......it's better if I go alone. I don't want your life at risk anymore.....if we are to have a child in the future.

Misao: Tim..........

Tim: I'll be back in about 2-3 weeks, so before I start on my journey there, I shall enjoy my last moments with my friends, (looks at Misao) especially you Misao.

Misao: Uhh.......(stands up and hugs him) I'll hold you to your promise. Please come back safely.

Tim: .......(hugs her) I promise.

(Everyone then gathers in the yard)

Yahiko: Hey Tim, you leaving now?

Tim: Yeah, but I'll be back soon, (smiles) so don't worry.

Yahiko: Good luck Tim!

Tim: Thank you. (looks at Kaoru)

Kaoru: Tim.......(digs into her kimono) Here. You need this.

Tim: Huh?

Kaoru: (places an envelope in his hand then holds his hand tightly, trying to hold back tears)

Tim: Miss Kaoru?

Kaoru: .........(hugs him) Please, make sure you return to us.

Tim: ........(hugs) I promise.

(Everyone lowers their heads)

Tim: Well......farewell everyone. (starts walking out)

Heather: (running out of the dojo) Daddy!!

Tim: Uhh.....(turns around) Heather.

Heather: (running towards Tim in tears, arms outstretched) Daddy!!

Tim: ........(smiles and kneels down, awaiting his sweet daughter)

(Heather hugs him, sad that her daddy has to leave her again.)

Heather: Daddy, why do you have to leave again?!

Tim: Honey.....I'm sorry, but after all of this is over, we shall always be together. That's a promise I shall keep.

Heather: (crying)

Tim: Come now.....(puts his hand around her chin and looks at her) you're a growing girl. You should trust your dad more, alright?

Heather: (sniff) Okay.

Tim: (smiles) That's a girl. (moves hand through her gently then stands up and looks at Misao)

Misao: ......................

Tim: .........(smiles) Here Misao. (hands her a wrapped item)

Misao: Huh? (takes it) What's this?

Tim: You'll see. (starts walking out then stop) Don't forget.......I'll always love you, no matter what happens. (leaves)

Misao: .............(unwraps the item) Uhh........(it's a book with a message on the front that says "To the most important person in my life, my love, Misao." She opens the book and starts reading it. "You're probably wondering what all that happened in my life, so.....I shall tell you, and you alone, for I know you'll understand. Enjoy my beloved, for we shall see each other again soon. Sincerely, Tim. Misao closes the book and presses it against her heart, smiling and tears forming in her eyes) Tim......

Tim: (walking outside of town) ......Oh yeah. (takes the envelope Kaoru gave him out and opens it) Uhhh.......(he's shocked at what he reads)

Tim,

We got news that a young woman and her child were slaughtered to death in Kyoto. We believe this to be the work of a member of the New Juppongatana. Please.....be careful. We don't want to lose you.....for you are very special to us.

Love Misao, me, and the rest of us

P.S.-Here's some money for your trip. Use it sparingly.

Tim: ............(scrunches the letter in his hand) Shishio.......he must be stopped.

(3 days later)

Seijiro: (sitting in front of the fire) I feel a presence.....(stands up and looks behind him) Huh?

(He see's Tim, standing there smiling)

Seijiro: Sir Tim?

Tim: Hello there.......master.

(Misao is sitting on the porch of the dojo reading the book Tim left behind for her. In it contains events that happened in Tim's life up to when they first met. Here and there, she laughs at the things she comes across, like this one time during a game of hockey (which Tim described to her what it is), the puck hit Tim square in the forehead. He wrote down he didn't cry since he was about 8 when it happened, but that he sort of laughed.)

Misao: Oh Tim.......if only I witnessed more of those events, I'd feel closer to you. (places book against her heart again) I'll be waiting for you.......for as long as I can.

Act III: Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 23-Learning of the Heart:Hiten Mitsurugi Style Training Begins

Seijiro: Sir Tim?

Tim: Hello there......master.

Seijiro: Master.........Tell me, is there something you need from me?

Tim: Yes, there is.

Seijiro: What might it be?

Tim: .........I wish to be the next Seijiro Hiko, but to keep my original name....for it suits me really well, especially for my wife.

Seijiro: .....................

Tim: .....................

Seijiro: ...........Hmphhh! Very well. (walks towards Tim and then stops right in front of him)

Tim: Huh?

Seijiro: We shall eat lunch before we begin.

Tim: (smiles) Sure.

(15 minutes later)

Seijiro: (offers Tim fish on stick) Here.

Tim: Thank you. (takes and starts eating it)

Seijiro: .........Sir Tim?

Tim: Yeah?

Seijiro: What was the reason for coming to me and to sought the Hiten Mitsurugi Style fully?

Tim: ........(smiles and stares at the fire) Well, there's three reasons. One is to become stronger so I can defeat my other half, Shishio; Another is to not become like him when I'm facing in a tough situation, and.........

(Imagines Misao close to him, feeling protected)

To protect Misao.

Seijiro: (smiles) Well, to me, you seem to have the most honorable soul I've seen around with those kinds of reasons, especially the one about protecting the one you love. Hiten Mitsurugi focuses around saving people who are being oppressed, and for getting rid of those who are causing it. After slaying many people with those kinds of ideals, Kenshin decided to not kill anymore and became a rurouni, a wanderer, then came along Kaoru and the others and started living a peaceful life with them. Despite not being like he was before during the Revolution, you are exactly like him......perhaps even another him.

Tim: ......................

Seijiro: The scar you got, your ideals, the way you fight, your "battousai" form when you battle;you are him. You are just like he is, protecting this country from the hands of evil.

Tim: .........(makes a fist with his left hand) Yeah........(softly laughs) I am, aren't I?

Seijiro: (nods) It seems......that I have found one of the best apprentices a teacher can have.

Tim: Sir Hiko........

Seijiro: Let's not worry about that now. We have work to do.

Tim: Right! (starts chowing down on the fish)

Seijiro: Boy......you sure were hungry, huh?

(The waterfall area)

Seijiro: So, tell me, from your previous watchings of us in your world, what do you know of Hiten Mitsurugi?

Tim: I know how to use the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki after witnessing Kenshin do it and my practice with the sword, so no need for that.

Seijiro: You know of the Ku-zu-ryu-sen, Do-ryu-sen, attacks like that?

Tim: No, I'm afraid not. (softly laughs) That's why I came here, right?

Seijiro: Yes, I suppose. (smiles) Well now.....(unsheathes sword) shall we get started?

Tim: (smiles) Yes master. (unsheathes sword)

(Seijiro and Tim remain smiling)

Seijiro: ..............

Tim: ................

(As they stare down, the sound of the gushing waterfall echoes throughout the canyon)

Seijiro and Tim: (charging) Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(CLINGGGGGGGG)

(Tim jumps back to avoid Seijiro's counterstrike then stands in place.)

Seijiro: Good, you avoided it. Now........(jumps up)

Tim: .........(sheathes sword and jumps up)

(Seijiro starts coming down, sword raised. Tim is nearing him, left hand around the sheathe and right hand around the handle. He imagines protecting Misao by hugging her and telling her that he'll be with her for as long as he can, then he screams out and unsheathes, quickly swinging up towards Seijiro. (CLINGGGGGG) As Tim remains getting higher, Seijiro falls towards the ground. After Seijiro lands, he kneels, then looks up at Tim who seems to have lost consciousness because he hit Tim with the back of his sword. He then get's ready to catch him and does so.)

Seijiro: He's trying too hard......and to think, he's doing all this for his friends....and his wife.

(Early evening in Seijiro's hut)

Tim: (waking up) ........Mmm.......oww........(puts hand on head) Boy.......what happened? (sits up) Master........? (looks around) He must be outside. (starts standing up) Owwwww......!!! (puts hand on shoulder and softly laughs) He sure hit me pretty hard there. (fully stands and walks outside. He then see's him sitting in front of the fire. He goes over to him.) Master?

Seijiro: So you're awake. I'm sorry for what I did.

Tim: (smiles) No need to apoligize. I've seen how much Kenshin went through to obtain the ultimate attack, and I don't think it'd be right to apoligize, or for me to complain. (softly laughs) Thanks anyway.

Seijiro: (smiles) Hhmphhh.......(holds out some fish on a stick) Here, you must be hungry.

Tim: Thank you. (takes it and sits down next to him)

Seijiro: Sir Tim........could you do me a favor?

Tim: What is it?

Seijiro: Could you go buy me some supplies from town?

Tim: What exactly?

Seijiro: Just some rice and cake.

Tim: Sure. (finishes up the fish and stands)

Seijiro: Here's the money.

Tim: Thanks. (takes it and puts it in his pocket) Well, I'll be off. (starts leaving)

Seijiro: Sir Tim?!

Tim: Huh? (looks at him)

Seijiro: (smiles) Make sure you visit your family at the Aoiya. They'll be glad to see you.

Tim: .......(smiles and does a thumbs up, winking also) I planned on it. (he walks off)

Seijiro: (himself) He has a lot to learn, but at least he's not like that idiot apprentice. (softly laughs)

Hiko's got an awesome cloak XD

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 24-Evening in Kyoto:The Danger Get's Worse

(Tim is walking down the path to Kyoto with a pleasant smile on his face, knowing that he's about to meet friends;no, family, after a long time. He then arrives at the entrance, people saying hi, not knowing who he is. Everytime, Tim bows his head politely. After 5 minutes, he arrives at the Aoiya.)

Tim: I might be here for a while. Let's hope they have a place for me to sleep since I might be here late. (walks up and knocks on the door. Omasa answers it.)

Omasa: Oh, Tim!! (hugs him tightly) It's been a while! How've you been?!

Tim: I've been fine, thanks. How's Okina and the others?

Omasu: They've been doing pretty good. Come on in, you must be a little cold.

Tim: Thank you.

(They walk in)

Omasa: Hey everyone, Tim's here!

(Everyone arrives in the same room)

Okina: Sir Tim, how've you been?

Tim: (smiles) Great, that I have.

Ochika: Where's Misao?

Tim: She's back in Tokyo with the others. I'm the only one who came here.

Okina: Why is that?

Tim: I'm training with Seijiro Hiko in the arts of Hiten Mitsurugi.

Omasa: That must be exciting. How's it going so far?

Tim: Really well. I hope to learn everything I can.

Aoshi: Sir Tim?

Tim: Yeah?

Aoshi: Was the reason for undergoing this training to become more like your own self, and not the killer within you?

Tim: .......(smiles) You're good.

(Everyone softly laughs)

Tim: But.......there was also another reason.

All: .........................

Tim: ..........(imagines Misao) It was........to protect her.

Aoshi: Misao?

Tim: Yeah......if she ever died, I'd never know what to do. (closes his eyes)

Okina: Sir Tim, don't forget;We'll help you anyway possible, since you're part of the family now.

Tim: Family......(imagines everyone back in his world) (he then opens his eyes and smiles happily) Yeah, family. (looks at everyone) Thanks you guys. I really appreciate it.

Okina: You're quite welcome.

Tim: So, how've you guys been? Have you had any trouble since my incident with Hiroshu and the Chain Gang?

Aoshi: We've heard rumors.

Tim: What sorts?

Aoshi: Well.........there's this one person around your age impersonating you, but is killing everyone in sight.

Tim: Really? Hmmm......(closes his eyes and speaks to himself) It must be the one that Kaoru mentioned about in the letter.

Aoshi: ..........I had a run-in with him.

Tim: What, you did!?

Aoshi: He said his name was Tim Ouellette, but I knew it wasn't you. I had a little talk with him and he said he was doing all of this for his sister.

Tim: His sister?

Aoshi: Yes.......and also.........

Tim: .........What?

Aoshi: ......Nothing. Forgive me.

Tim: (himself) Forgive him? For what?

Okina: Would you like to stay for dinner, Sir Tim?

Tim: Yes, thank you.

(Everyone but Tim and Aoshi leave the room)

Tim: .........(lowers his head a little and closes his eyes)

Aoshi: Sir Tim?

Tim: ...........(raises head) Yeah?

Aoshi: Have you and Misao been getting along really well?

Tim: Why do you ask?

Aoshi: I'm just curious.....since I'm considered one of her guardians.

Tim: (softly laughs) Don't worry Aoshi, I've protected her. Besides......(smiles) she's not like the Misao she was before. She has matured really well, being the leader of the Oniwaban Group.

Aoshi: (smiles) With you at her side, I know you two will progress very far in life.

Tim: Thank you.......Aoshi. Also.......I have something else to say.

Aoshi: What is it?

Tim: It involves.....the deaths of the Oniwaban Group.

Aoshi: ...................

Tim: Misao..........I sh..........

(Okina and the others come in with dinner)

Omasa: Here you go, Sir Tim.

(sets a try with rice, fish, and stew on it)

Tim: Thanks Omasa.

(They start eating)

--------------------------------------------------------------

(After dinner)

Okina: Well everyone, we should head off to bed.

Tim: Yeah, training has made me quite tired, that it has.

Omasa: You should be able to sleep well tonight.

Tim: (smiles) Yeah.

Omasa: Good night Tim. (hugs him)

Tim: Good night Omasa. (hugs her)

(Tim also hugs Ochika)

Tim: See you all in the morning!

All: Okay!!

Tim: (closes the door to the bedroom and goes to the window. He stares up at the stars) Good night Misao. Let's hope.....you're looking at the same sky as me.

(The dojo)

Misao: (looking up at the stars) Good night.........Tim.

(During the night)

(Tim is sleeping soundly, till......)

(A dream)-this takes place at the dojo

Tim: .........(opens eyes) Huh? (looks next to him) Misao must be up already. (sits up) YAWN.........that was a nice sleep. (stands up and opens the door) Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! (he see's the most horrifying site; Kenshin, Kaoru, Sano, Yahiko, Megumi, Sara, Amanda, Magnus, Alex, Heather..........everyone he knows, all lie motionless on the ground, bathed in their own blood.) N.......no!! What....happened?! (runs too Heather and elevates her) Heather!? Heather!!! (shakes her) Wake up, come on!! (starts crying and holds her in his arms, blood getting all over the front of him) Uhh.......wait! (looks around) Where's Misao?! (set's Heather on the ground gently and makes a small prayer for her. He stands up) Misao!? Misao?! (suddenly.......he spots blood coming from inside the dojo) No.......(runs in) Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! (he see's her.....pinned to the wall;her hands are being pressed into the wall with her kunais and a sword is sticking through her gut, pinning her to the wall. Blood is dripping heavily from the wound, down the sword to the ground) No........(falls to his knees) this can't be. Who did this?

Misao: Uhh......

Tim: Misao?! You're.....still alive?!

Misao: Uhh........(opens her eyes and looks at Tim) Tim........why?

Tim: What?

Misao: Why......did you do this?

Tim: (shocked) .............!!!!!

Misao: I........trusted you. Why would you......ahh......(her head lowers, showing Tim that all the life is gone from her)

Tim: No........Misao! MISAO!!!!!!!!!! (his voice echoes throughout the dojo)

(End dream)

Tim: (sits up suddenly, sweating and breathing heavily) Uhhh.......(looks around) (himself) That was so horrible. (crying) Why must I be plagued with this?! (sighs) Maybe I'll get some water. (stands up, then.....)

Boy: (from outside) Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Uhhh.......what the?! (grabs sword and runs out of his room. As he passes Okina's room, he yells out to Tim what's going on) I'll be right back!! (runs outside and looks around. When he looks to the left, he see's a young boy around 5 running from a side-streeet to the other one across the main road. He is then followed by a boy around his age chasing him with a sword.) Dammit, I don't think I'll be able to make it!

(The alleys)

Boy: (running) No, leave me alone!!

????: Come here, little brat!!

(The boy turns a corner then see's it's a dead end. He turns around, ready to try to escape a terrible death)

Boy: Oh no.....!! (backs away till he hits the wall)

(The swordsman turns into the dead end alley and charges towards him)

????: Be prepared to go to hell!!! (raises sword)

Boy: Wahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly.....)

(CLING)

????: What?!

(Tim jumped down from the roof and blocked his attack)

Tim: Who the hell do you think you are, to try and kill this young boy?!

????: You........(jumps back) you're the new battousai, aren't you!?

Tim: Yes.........and YOU are?!

????: My name.......Heh, what use would it be to tell you since my name is yours?!

Tim: What's your real name then!?

????: .............Chad. Chad Suzakochi.

To be continued

EEE freaky dream

Note-Chad is 18 years old, a little taller than Tim, black hair, blue eyes)

(The two of them are staring at each other while the boy is softly crying behind Tim)

Tim: Chad........why are you doing this? Why did you kill that mother and child?

Chad: You want to know why? Heh.......it's because whoever get's in the way of me and my goals, I slaughter right then and there.

Boy: Wahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Tim: Uhh..........

Chad: Now, if you don't mind, get out of my way!

Tim: I'll never allow you to kill this boy, that I won't! (holds sword out in front of him) You'll have to get through me first!

Chad: ..........(smirks) Very well. (charges) LET'S GO!!!!!

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 25-Life at Risk:Tim Meet's His Match??? (Part 1)

(CLINGGGG)

Tim: Uhh......!!!

Chad: Now, your fate shall be sealed!!

Tim: Uunghhh......(trying to force Chad back) (himself) his strength! Who the hell is this guy?!

Chad: Don't even think that you'll win, because......

Tim: Wha......?!

(BOOOOOOOM)-Tim get's jabbed in the stomach when Chad brought his knee up

Tim: Ahh......!!! (kneels on the ground, groaning and wrapping his arms around his stomach)

Chad: That was simple. (walks past Tim towards the boy) Now, to finish the job! (raises sword)

Boy: Wahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Chad: Make sure to say hi to your mom for me when you die!

Tim: (himself) What?! D.........Did he......?! (slowly get's up) You....!!

Chad: Huh?! (turns around) So, you can still stand, huh?

Tim: You killed that boy's mother.....(looks at him with an evil glare, but he's still himself) didn't you?!?!?

Boy: Uhhh.........

Chad: You got that right. I happened to come along these two;they got in my way so I killed the mother right then and there, the boy escaping of course.

Tim: You.......bastard!!! (charges)

Chad: Bad move! (blocks Tim's side attack) Now......(forces Tim to drop his sword) we shall end this!!! (sheathes sword and punches Tim 5 times in the face. Tim falls to the ground, still conscious, but barely) Don't tell me you're about to die, battousai! I haven't even warmed up yet! Besides.......this is what you deserve for killing my sister! (kicks Tim in the ribs)

Tim: Uunghhh......wh.......what are you t........talking about???

Chad: You know damn well what! I saw you.......you stabbed my sister, right there on the street!

Tim: I..........don't know......what you're talking about.

Chad: ENOUGH!!!!!!

Boy: Wahhhhh!!!!!

Chad: How could you deny it, you dumb ****?! I was there.....I saw everything.

(Flashback of the dark and rainy night when Tim slaughtered the Hichimanji Gang. We're shown a little shop in downtown Tokyo)

Chad: Here you go Jessica. (hands her a rice ball)

Jessica: (15 years old) Thanks Chad. (takes and eats it) I'll go outside for a minute.

Chad: Okay.

(She walks outside and watches the rain fall. Then, she suddenly hears footsteps splashing softly in the puddles to the left of her on the street.)

Jessica: Is someone there?

(The figure of a young boy can be seen)

Jessica: Huh?! (runs too him) Hey, are you alright?! You're all bloody!!

Tim: I'm........fine.

Jessica: Here, let me help you. (takes his arm)

Tim: Please.......I'm just fine.

Jessica: I'll help you. You can trust me.

Tim: Get away from me!!!

(Tim stabs her suddenly in the ribs, the sword going all the way through her)

Jessica: Uhh........

Chad: Thank you sir. (walks out) Hey Jessica, where are you? Jessica?! (looks to his left) Ahh.......(he see's Tim's sword sticking right through her, blood seeping from the wound made in her back where the sword stuck through) Jessica!!

(Tim takes the sword out of her and lets her fall to the ground. When she does, Chad finally see's who was behind all this. He's Tim's blood red eyes and a scary look. Then, he returns to his normal self. He looks down at the lifeless girl before him and looks at Chad. He then runs down a side street, showing Chad.....that he was crying.)

End part 1

Part 2

Chad: There is no doubt, that it was you! Ever since that night, I swore to get my revenge! I then heard of this New Juppongatana led by Makoto Shishio! I had a meeting with him, and he said, the one who killed my sister, is also the one he's trying to get rid of! I then took the job!

Tim: So......you chose to kill other people to try and get to me, isn't that it!?

Chad: Precisely, yes, and now......here you are, and because you are standing right here in front of me......(charges) I SHALL SLASH YOU INTO PIECES!!!!!

Tim: Whoa!! (moves to the right)

Chad: Accept your punishment, you bastard!!

(WOOSH)

(SLASH)-get's cut in the arm

Tim: Aaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Boy: Mister!!!

Tim: (falls to the ground) Uhh.....I.......can't win.......

(Chad slowly walks towards Tim)

Tim: Ahh........

Chad: (stops right in front of him) Tell me.......why......WHY DID YOU KILL MY SISTER?!?!

Tim: ...........I..........didn't do it.

Chad: You mother ****er!!! (kicks Tim in the wound on his arm) I saw you!! How dare you deny it!?

Tim: It.......was my other self.

Chad: What?!

Tim: (slowly get's up) Me..........and Shishio.......We're one in the same.

Chad: Huh? What do you mean?

Tim: ...........................

(The wind blows softly)

Tim: My name is Tim Ouellette, and I came from the year 2004, to this place. After arriving, I was forced to fight against Shishio, and little did I know.....I was his reincarnation.

Chad: Ahh......!!!

Tim: Sometimes, I am overcome by the evil of him within me, and that's why your sister was taken from this world.

Chad: ............................

Tim: ............You probably aren't believing what I'm saying, but......if you want proof.....why don't you stick around me and find out for yourself what I'm saying?

Chad: ............................

Tim: ....................(walks past him and picks up the little boy) I'm going to bring this boy somewhere where he won't ever feel alone anymore. (starts walking away from him) I suggest you quit being one of Shishio's dogs while you still can. He's not who you think he is. Go on home........and start a new life. I promise you'll live a happier life that way, that I do.....for it would be what your sister would want.

Chad: Uhh..........

Tim: ......Farewell. (leaves)

Chad: ...............(lowers head) Jessica.........

(The main street)

Boy: Thank you sir, for saving me.

Tim: You're very welcome. It's my duty anyway.

Boy: (softly laughs and then yawns) I'm tired. (lays against Tim)

Tim: ..............Good night little boy. I'll make sure you'll live happy with a new family......I promise.

(The morning)

Okina: Aoshi?

Aoshi: Yes?

Okina: Could you go look for Sir Tim? He's been gone since the middle of the night, and I'm worried.

Aoshi: Alright.

(He walks out)

Aoshi: Hmm........where could he be? (walks left then hears soft, slow breathing. He looks and see's Tim sleeping against a building, the boy happily sleeping in his arms. Aoshi softly smiles and goes to him) Tim......Sir Tim?

Tim: Hmm? (opens eyes) Aoshi........

Aoshi: ........Huh?! (notices his wounds) Sir Tim, what happened?!

Tim: Nothing to worry about....but I'll tell you later.

Aoshi: Alright. (looks at the boy) Who's this?

Tim: I.......found him, alone.

Aoshi: Alone? So you mean.......

Tim: He........has nowhere to go. (puts hand on his head) I might think of calling him my own, if he has nowhere to go.

Aoshi: (softly laughs) You certainly are good with kids, Sir Tim.

Tim: Thanks Aoshi.

Boy: Mmm.........

Tim: Hey there, you feel okay?

Boy: Mister........

Tim: You must be hungry. Want to go eat?

Boy: Yeah........(hugs him)

Tim: Huh?

Boy: Thank you for saving me.

Tim: You're very welcome......Oh, what is your name anyway?

Boy: Yasuo.

Tim: .........!!!!!

(The Aoiya)

(Omasu is taking care of Tim's wounds)

Omasu: What exactly happened, Sir Tim?

Tim: Well, it seems.......I killed this boy's sister.

Omasu: What?!

Tim: (starting to cry) ........I don't know why....but......it was this power. This power that I've always felt during times of hardship and when I'm really mad, it came back to me again......and forced me to kill her. It overtook my body and soul......trying to devour me. That's why.....(feels wound on cheek) I've come here to Kyoto, to train with Seijiro Hiko, for I know he has the answer to my problem. (cries harder) Oh Omasu.....I'm scared. I don't know what's going to happen to me. If I ever lost or got seperated from Misao again....(collapses in tears)

Omasu: Sir Tim..........(hugs him)

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 26-Yasuo:The Boy that Tim Saved

(Omasu is just finishing up with luncj with Ochika helping)

Yasuo: Mister, where am I going to go?

Tim: I don't know, but I'll make sure you'll live with a nice family, (smiles) okay?

Yasuo: Alright.

Tim: Also, my name is Tim.

Yasuo: That's a nice name.

Tim: (smiles) Yeah....it is.

(Omasu and Ochika bring the food out)

Omasu: Here you go, everyone.

(They set the food down)

Tim: Thanks you two. This looks good.

Omasu: You're very welcome Sir Tim.

Tim: What do you want, Yasuo?

Yasuo: Can I have 3 rice balls, please?

Tim: Sure, give me your plate, okay?

(He does)

Tim: Here you go.

Yasuo: Thanks Tim. (starts eating)

Tim: ............(smiles) (himself) This boy.......could he be the one from my dream? It's such a coincidence that it is, and also, he's alone, just like Heather when we found her. Maybe........(lowers head)

Omasu: Sir Tim, what's wrong?

Tim: Oh........(smiles) nothing. Everything's fine. (starts eating)

All: ...................

(After lunch)

Tim: I guess I'll go around town. I'll be back soon.

All: Okay!

(He starts leaving)

Yasuo: Tim?

Tim: Himura? (turns around) What is it, Yasuo?

Yasuo: Can I go with you?

Tim: .........(smiles) Sure you can. (picks him up)

(Yasuo starts laughing happily)

Tim: Okay, WE'LL be back soon!

Omasu: Have fun you two.

Tim: Thanks........Omasu. (leaves)

Omasu: (softly laughs) Those two are really good together.

Ochika: It's like they were meant for each other.

Okina: That's true. Tim......he is no ordinary man, especially as the reincarnation of Makoto Shishio and Sir Himura, the two manslayers.

All: ..............................

--------------------------------------------------

Tim: Yasuo.......do you have any other family?

Yasuo: No........my mommy was the only one left.

Tim: I'm sorry......I know how it feels to be alone. (hugs him)

Yasuo: Do you have any family?

Tim: I do.......and I love them with all my heart.

Yasuo: You're a nice person then.

Tim: .........Yeah, I am.

Yasuo: I have an idea. How about you be my daddy?

Tim: ............Yasuo. I.......have something I must tell you.

Yasuo: What?

Tim: I've.........killed people also.

Yasuo: Uhh.......

Tim: I have an adoptive daughter back home in Tokyo, and she knows the life I live.

Yasuo: How old is she?

Tim: She's 7 1/2 now. She's the same as you;her family was taken away by evil people and she had nowhere to go. We decided to take her in and bring her home with us. (smiles) She's grown very attached to us.

Yasuo: That's sweet.

Tim: (smiles) So how old are you?

Yasuo: I'm getting close to being 6.

Tim: You know, she'd be glad to have someone to play with. (smiles) Okay, I've decided. I'll bring you home with me.

Yasuo: Thank you! (hugs him) Should I start calling you daddy now?

Tim: (tears are forming) Yeah, you can. (hugs him tightly) You're just like the boy in my dream.

Yasuo: What do you mean?

Tim: I dreamt of having a boy with the same name as you, but older, and he was practicing swordsmanship. Do you like swordsmanship?

Yasuo: I never really tried it.

Tim: When I bring you home, we can get you started with training. After all, you want to carry my legacy, don't you?

Yasuo: I'll do my best.

Tim: (softly laughs) Good boy.

Yasuo: Also, will I like my new mommy?

Tim: You'll love her. She's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Yasuo: I can't wait to meet her.

Tim: Yeah.......I wish I was with her right now. (lowers head)

Yasuo: Daddy?

Tim: I'm okay.....don't worry.

Toy seller: Fun toys for all boys and girls!! 10 yen an item!! Toys for sale!!

Yasuo: Hey daddy, is it alright if I can have one?

(Tim pauses, glad that he's being called daddy, by his new adoptive son)

Tim: Sure, you deserve one for what you've been through.

Yasuo: Thank you. (hugs him)

Tim: (smiles) We'll have one please. (hands man 10 yen)

Toy seller: Thank you sir. (gives wind toy to Yasuo) Here you go son.

Yasuo: Thank you. (to Tim) Hey daddy, can I run around and play with it?

Tim: Sure, you can. (places him down) There you go.

Yasuo: Thanks daddy. (starts running around)

Toy seller: Is that your son?

Tim: Yeah........(smiles) he is. My adoptive son anyways.

Toy seller: He seems very fond of you.

Tim: It's because I saved him from being killed.....after his real mother was killed.

Toy seller: That's terrible!

Tim: But now, I'll bring him home to Tokyo and let him meet his new mommy.

Toy seller: By the way you're speaking, it seems you happen to have a loving wife.

Tim: (the wind blows, Tim's hair moving around) Yeah........

----------------------------------------------------

(Later that day, early evening)

Tim: We're home.

Omasu: Hey there Tim. (looks at Yasuo) Sleeping, huh?

Tim: He got tired after walking around a lot. I'll go put him in bed and I guess I'll go back to train with Seijiro Hiko.

Omasu: Tim...........?

Tim: What is it?

Omasu: Could you stay one more night please? I'd.....really appreciate it.

Tim: ............(smiles) Omasu, can I ask you something first?

Omasu: What is it?

Tim: You like me a lot, don't you?

Omasu: (blushes) Why do you ask?

Tim: You always seem to care for me, just like Misao does.

Omasu: Of course I do. You're part of our family now, and..........

Tim: (smiles) Come on, you can say it.

Omasu: ..........I love you.

Tim: (walks over and hugs her with his one free arm) I love you too.

Omasu: Tim........(hugs him, crying)

Tim: Hey, what's wrong?

Omasu: I wish I would've met you earlier, but......it seems it's only fair Misao did, since all she's been through.

Tim: About that........

Omasu: What?

Tim: When Misao was in my world, I showed her how the members of the Oniwaban Group died.

Omasu: It really shocked her, huh?

Tim: (lowers head) She couldn't do nothing but cry into me, holding me tightly. I felt sorry for even showing her, but it was for the best.

Omasu: Tim.............

Tim: (smiles sadly) Well, I suppose I should put Yasuo in bed, and I'll help you with dinner.

Omasu: (smiles) Of course. Thank you.

Tim: (bows and takes Yasuo in his bedroom. He lays and covers him up and then looks at him) Good night......Yasuo.

This is the season finale!!!

(The next morning at the dojo)

(Misao is cooking breakfast for everyone, Heather helping her as best she can. She brings it out and serves everyone. Afterwards, she serves herself and sits down. She looks next to her, to where Tim usually sits. She frowns, but......then smiles after a few seconds, knowing in her heart, he will return a proud man, and as the one she loves)

Act III:Countdown to Destruction
Chapter 27-Future Battles:The Voice of an Enemy is Near

(Tim comes out of his bedroom with a smile, his sword in his left hand. He closes the door then puts the sword on his belt. He walks down the hallway a little till Yasuo comes running.)

Yasuo: Good morning daddy!

Tim: (kneels down) Good morning son. You sleep well?

Yasuo: Yep! I ate breakfast too.

Tim: (softly laughs) It seems like I slept in, huh?

Yasuo: Don't worry, your girlfriend made some for you.

Tim: (blushes) What?! Omasu?! Who told you that?!

Yasuo: The old man.

Tim: Okina......you old dolt!

Yasuo: Hurry before it get's cold.

Tim: Alright. (picks him up) Let's go!

(Yasuo laughs)

(The table)

(Omasu is humming while she's picking up everyone's dishes till Tim helps)

Omasu: Huh?

Tim: I'll help, alright?

Omasu: (smiles) Thank you.

(They bring them to Shiro to wash and they decide to talk as Tim eats)

Omasu: How did you sleep, Tim?

Tim: It was relaxing, but I do miss Misao's snoring.

Omasu: (softly laughs) You two really hit it off, huh?

Tim: Yep, from the very first time we set eyes on each other, I knew we'd be together like we are.

Omasu: (smiles) .............

Tim: So, is there someone you like?

Omasu: (blushes) Well.........I sort of like you, but you have Misao.

Tim: I love you too Omasu. (softly laughs)

Omasu: (hugs Tim)

Tim: (hugs back)

Omasu: You're so warm.

Tim: (feels cheek with wound) Misao said that once after she hugged me. She commented that the warmth......was coming from my heart, and the goodness that is within me. I couldn't help but cry.......and she comforted me while I laid on her shoulder. (closes eyes, tears streaming down his face)

Omasu: Uhh.........

(Tim takes the last bite of his food)

Tim: Thanks you Omasu, that was delicious.

Omasu: You're welcome Tim.

Tim: (stands up) Well, I suppose I should go get some food that master asked me to get, and I'll be on my way. (looks at her) I'll be back in 15 minutes, okay?

Omasu: (smiles) Okay.

(Tim leaves)

Omasu: ............Misao, treasure him. He's the nicest person anyone could ever know.

(The market)

Tim: Yes, that's right.

(They exchange food and money)

Tim: Thank you.

(Tim starts back towards the Aoiya, till......)

????: (wispy voice from somewhere) Battousai.......

Tim: Huh?! (looks behind him) (himself) Who the hell was that?!

(Silence)

Tim: Hmm......(starts off again)

????: Battousai........

Tim: Uhhh.......(quickly turns around)

????: Battousai.......go west.

Tim: Uhh.......(looks west and then starts walking down a side street) (himself) Who the hell could this be?! Could it be......?

(comes to a small clearing)

Tim: Alright, who's there?!

????: So, you did come.

Tim: What are you talking about?!

????: You, battousai.......you will die by my hand, before you even get to Lord Shishio!

Tim: Uhhh......!!! (grabs handle of sword) (himself) Dammit, just what I need right now!!

????: Prepare to suffer!!

Tim: Who are you?! Tell me!!!

????: .........Vassar!

Tim: Ahh.......!!!

---------------------------------------------

Kaoru: Hey Misao, could you give me a hand over here please?

Misao: Sure.

(They start cleaning the floor, till.......)

(KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK)

Sano: Huh?

Kenshin: I'll get it. (opens the doors) Chief Miraki?

Miraki: Hello there Sir Himura.

Kenshin: What's your reason for this visit?

Miraki: It's about Sir Tim.

Misao: Uhh.......

Kenshin: What happened to him?!

Miraki: It's about WHAT might happen to him. Shishio.......he has a terrible plan on what to do with him. He......might be killed tomorrow.

Misao: Ahh......!!! (imagines her and Tim together at the riverbed, then......Tim suddenly disappears from her side.) Tim......uhh.......(tears start forming) Tim!!! (runs out of the dojo)

Kenshin: Miss Misao!!

Kaoru: Misao!!

Misao: No.........please, you can't die! I won't allow it!! (has a flashback of when Tim left to train with Seijiro Hiko)

Tim: Don't forget.......I'll always love you, no matter what happens.

(End flashback)

No matter what.......

Misao: Oh Tim.........

---------------------------------------------

Tim: Where are you?! Show yourself!!

Vassar: As you wish.

Tim: ...............(starting to sweat, shaking a little)

(WOOSH)

Tim: Huh?!

(BOOM)-Tim get's hit all of a sudden in the head from behind. He falls to the ground.

Tim: Uhh......(struggling to get up) what the.....(is now standing up fully) hell was that??? Oww......my head....ehh.......(starting to get dizzy)

Vassar: You have no chance against me. I shall show you that now.

Tim: My sight.......why am I going blind???

Vassar: What's wrong battousai? Feeling a little "sick"?

Tim: Am........I going to die? Mi.........Misao.....(faints)

Vassar: Heh, let this be a warning battousai. If you wish......me and Lord Shishio will be waiting in half a month. Farewell........

-----------------------------------------------------

(4 days later)

(The Aoiya)

Tim: Uhh......(opens eyes slowly but everything is hazy and he can hardly hear) uh.....where am I?

(Tim feels someone holding his hand)

Tim: I.......is that......? (notices a figure of a girl next to him)

(A soft and sad voice can be hardly heard) Tim........

Tim: Who........is it?

(feels a hand on his cheek)

Uhh......Mi........Misao? (places hand on top of her's) Misao.......I'm sorry, I......can't hear you.

Misao: What?! Gramps, what happened to him?!

Okina: Well, it seems he was hit pretty hard on the back of the head and the impact took away his sight and hearing, but he'll be back to normal in a few days.

Misao: (crying) I knew it........I knew that if I'd leave your side, something bad would happen! (collapses in tears, laying on his chest, crying into him) Tim, why must you do this?! I love you too much for you to risk your life!! Why?!

Tim: Misao........(feels her face) uhh.....(wipes tear away) I'm okay Misao. You......don't have to cry.

Misao: Oh Tim........I know you mean well. (kisses him)

All: ................................

----------------------------------------------

(Tim is sitting outside the Aoiya, resting on the steps. His eyes are closed. Misao comes along and wakes him up.)

Misao: Hey Tim? (shakes him a little)

Tim: Hmmm??? (opens eyes, still having a hard time seeing, and is hearing isn't still all that good either, but can tell is Misao by the faint outline of her) What is it, Misao?

(places a rice ball in his hand)

Tim: Oh......(smiles) thanks.

Misao: (smiles and kisses him. She sits down next to him and eats) You know Tim.......I dreamt of you last night.

Tim: Huh? You say something?

Misao: ...........(holds hand)

Tim: Misao.......you must hate me now, do you?

Misao: Uhh.......Tim?? Why do you say that? (squeezes hand)

Tim: I really messed up yesterday, risking my life like that. It was just.......the voice drew me towards him, and he ambushed me. I was scared, to think my life could've ended then. I'm......so sorry.

(After a few moments, the grasp on his hand goes away and he feel's Misao's arms around him)

Tim: Uhh.....(places hand on top of her head) Hey, I'm still here, aren't I? I'm here with you, just like I missed when I left to come here.

(He hears soft crying, knowing it's Misao, but it's soft to him because of his hearing)

Tim: Misao.....(hugs her, tears rolling down his face)

(Shishio's new hideout)

Shishio: Vassar!!

Vassar: (appears from out of nowhere behind him) Yes master.

Shishio: Gather together 100 men, and guide them to the Aoiya! We will destroy all of them!!

Vassar: Yes master. (disappears)

Shishio: Hehhehheh.........finally, at long last, the final duel is upon the horizon!

(maniac laughter)

End of season 4

Now, for the special presentation:The premiere to season 5!!!

August 25th, 1879. This is the day that will start everything. With Tim's condition and Shishio's men approaching, the Aoiya will be in danger! The good thing is, Kenshin and the others have arrived to help Tim stop the evil ambitions of his other self, Shishio's, plans. The final duel has just begun.......

(That morning)

Tim: .........(opens eyes) Uhh......(feels Misao holding his hand) Huh, Misao? (no answer) (himself) She must be sleeping still, and held my hand throughout the night. (smiles) I can tell she's very worried about my life, but by staying close to me, and sharing me her love, I know......I'll be able to win, and gain what I truly deserve:a peaceful life with her.

(feels her hands moving)

Tim: Hey honey, you awake?

Misao: (opens eyes) Tim.......

Tim: (smiles) Good morning.

Misao: ..........(sits up, still holding his hand)

Tim: Hey, something wrong?

Misao: Tim........(lets go of his hand and stands up)

Tim: Hey......cheer up. Besides, we have a new son whom we can love and cherish.

Misao: ............(walks out)

Tim: ............(himself) Misao? Why must you suffer?

To be continued in the last season

ahhh very nice ending

Note:This season will not feature acts, but just chapters.
Note: Tim can hear much better, but his sight is still bad.

Chapter 1-Misao's Suffering😖hishio's Ambition's Begin

August 25th, 1879

(1 hour later)

Omasa: (enters Tim's room) Hey Tim, you awake?

Tim: Yeah, I am. (sits up)

Omasa: Tim, there's something you need to know.

Tim: What is it? Is........it about Misao?

Omasa: I'm afraid it is. (takes a piece of paper out of her kimono) It's this letter we got.

Tim: Don't tell me.......she was kidnapped again?!

Omasa: I don't know. She walked out about an hour ago and we haven't heard from her since.

Tim: Uhhh........

Omasa: But, it's the letter that's more important.

Tim: What does it say?

Omasa: One of our secret spies sent this, and told us that 100 of Shishio's men are coming here as we speak.

Tim: What?! (suddenly stands up) Misao doesn't know this!?

Omasa: I'm afraid she doesn't........and we have no idea where she is.

Tim: .........(clenches fist) Misao......why?

Omasa: Sir Tim?

Tim: Omasa......get my sword.

Omasa: Tim?!

Tim: Please.......just get it.

Omasa: Okay......(suddenly get's it and hands it to Tim)

Tim: Thanks Omasa. (places it in his belt) Let's go find her.

Omasa: Right.

(Omasa holds his hand so to lead him around)

(They start walking all over town, asking of Misao's whereabouts. Mostly everyone didn't know but one person did say she looked really depressed and was walking towards the outside of town. Tim thought about how she feels, knowing that what is going on now is really making her feel sorry for herself, not being able to be there to help and protect the one she loves. They travel outside of town and walk through the woods. They then arrive at the riverbed, Tim knowing that they were there from the rushing water.)

Tim: Are we by the riverbed?

Omasa: Yeah, why?

Tim: ............(wishes to be next to Misao at the riverbed back home) Me and Misao always spend quiet nights together at the riverbed back home. We cherish those moments very much.

Omasa: ..........(looks ahead) Uhh....wait! I see her!

Tim: Where?!

Omasa: She's sitting down by the shore. It.....looks like she's really depressed.

Tim: Misao........

Omasa: You want to go talk to her?

Tim: Yeah.........

(They both walk up to her)

Omasa: Hey Misao.

(Misao stays silent, weeping, her head down in her arms, which are resting on her legs that are bent up.)

Tim: Misao......(walks up to her, feeling where she's sitting. He feels her shoulder then sits down) You can go now Omasa. Thanks.

Omasa: Sure. (she leaves)

Tim: Well.....here we are, just like back home.

Misao: ...................

Tim: So, have you talked to Yasuo yet? He's really nice, huh?

Misao: ......................

Tim: How about Aoshi?

Misao: ....................

Tim: Misao.........I know how you feel, but......I have to do this.

Misao: .................

Tim: No matter what, I have to beat him. I hope you'll be there to protect me.

Misao: ....................

Tim: ..........(puts arm around her) Misao............

(Misao suddenly grabs his front and cries heavily into him)

Misao: Tim, don't leave me! Please.......don't leave me!! Stay with me!!

Tim: ....................... (pulls her closer)

------------------------------------

(The Aoiya)

Okina: Sir Himura, anything yet?!

Kenshin: No, there isn't!

Okina: Damn, what could they be waiting for?

Aoshi: (comes in) Hey, everybody.

All: Hi!

Aoshi: (looks around) Where's Miss Misao?

Omasa: Her and Sir Tim are down by the riverbed together.

Aoshi: Oh no......!!

Kaoru: What is it?

Aoshi: They know........Shishio's men know they're down there!!

Kenshin: (overheard from outside) What?!

Yahiko: We got to hurry then!!

(Everyone runs out)

-----------------------------------------------

(Tim's legs are bent under him and Misao is laying on his lap, resting. Tim smiles knowing that Misao is happy again to be with him. He places his hand on her cheek. Misao opens her eyes and places her's on his.)

Misao: Hey.......now YOUR hands are cold.

Tim: (smiles) Misao.........(kisses her)

Misao: Hey Tim.......about Yasuo, I love him.

Tim: (softly laughs) I knew you would. I love him too. We're very close already.

Misao: (smiles)

Man: Finally!!!

Tim and Misao: ..........!!!!!

Misao: (stands up and looks behind her) Oh no!!

Tim: (himself) Dammit, just what I need!

Man: We have orders to kill you both, for you two are the top 2 enemies to Lord Shishio!

Misao: Just try!! (get's kunais out)

Tim: (himself) I can't see that well, and Misao is going to be fighting 100 men! She's going to be killed!! (suddenly get's up) Misao!!

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Run! You're going to die!

Misao: I'll never leave you, ever again! Even if it means sacrificing myself, I will protect you!!

Tim: Misao, I.........

Misao: Trust in me. I am your wife, right?

Tim: .............Please.........don't die on me.

Misao: (smiles) Right, Tim! (runs up the hill and get's ready to fight) Come on, I'm ready!

Man: Right! Charge men!!!

Man: Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Misao: Alright! (throws kunais and takes out 3 men. She avoids a sword swing from behind and jumps, turns in the air and backkicks the guy in the head. Two more charge with swords raised. She avoids both and punches them in the guts.) Hmphhh!!! (puts hands up in front of her)

Tim: (smiles) (himself) It seems she's winning, that she is. I guess there was no need to worry.

(BANG!!!)-a pistol is shot

Tim: Ahh.......

Misao: Uhh........T........Tim.....

(Tim hears her rolling down the hill)

Tim: Uhh.....(walks forwards slowly, feeling for where she is) Misao.......? (keeps feeling, till he feels something wet;he feels her face, tears coming out) Misao......wh.......what's wrong? You.......can't be dead. Come on.......(places hand against cheek) I'm cold, aren't I? Misao......? Uhh......(starting to cry) why......why......(lifts her up in his arms) Misao......my love.....why? MISAO!!!!!!!

Tim: (waking up) Ahh......!!! (We're still at the riverbed. Tim feel asleep after he arrived.)

Misao: (wakes up) Tim? Are you alright?

Tim: Yeah.......I just had a bad dream.

Misao: (smiles) Oh.....then don't worry. (lays on his shoulder again) It was just a dream. Everything is fine now.

Tim: ........(smiles) Yeah. (puts arm around her)

(Tim sits there for a few minutes in silence, till suddenly.....)

Voice in his head: Kill her........

Tim: uhh.......

Voice in his head: Kill her.......!

Tim: my......head.......

Voice in his head: Kill her!!!

Tim: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (pushes Misao away)

Misao: Tim?! What's wrong?!

Tim: (grabbing his head in pain) Uhh.......AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Misao: Oh no.....(backs away) this can't be happening! Tim!!!

Tim: R.....run Misao....Hurry!

Misao: No, Tim!! (hugs him) I'll never leave you, ever again! You have to fight it!

Tim: Get out of here.....now!!

Misao: Tim.......I will not!!

Tim: You annoying little *****!!! (slaps her hard in the face)

Misao: Uhh.......(places hand on cheek)

Tim: I've had enough of you, trying to get rid of me!

Misao: No.......Tim, this is not you. You're stronger than this.

Tim: (unsheathes sword)

Misao: Ahh.....!!

Tim: I think it's about time I kill you....for good!!

dun dun dun!

Hey umm......I know there's probably not many who read this, but if there is, ^^ could I get some people's opinion on how it's progressing? And if anyone has any good ideas for future installments, ^^ they are very appreciated.

Season 5 continues with chapter 2 later this month. ^^ Look out for them.

FINALLY!!!!! ^^ It continues!!!

Chapter 2-Misao vs......Tim?!:Tim's Soul is Lost

Tim: .............

Misao: (shaking) (herself) Uhh......no.....I can't believe it.....I'm.....going to be fighting Tim, but.....I don't have a chance against him. Is this...truly the end for me....and Tim?

Tim: Let's begin.....(charges) Misao Makimachi!!!

Misao: Eh......

(WOOSH)-Misao ducks a side-slash

Misao: Uunghhh........

(BOOM)-Misao kicks Tim in the gut

Tim: Engh.....(kneels down in the ground) You *****......

Misao: Snap out of it, Tim! I never wanted to do this, but I guess it couldn't be helped! I guess......it was your destiny to love and then kill me.

Tim: (softly laughs) You got that right. (looks at her) I never really loved you.

Misao: ......Shut up.

Tim: So.....you choose to die, right?

Misao: As long as it brings back the Tim I love....then so be it.

Tim: .........(stands up) Your choice. (extends sword) Now then......shall we continue?

Misao: .....(get's kunais at the ready)

(The winds blows)

(Suddenly....)

Kenshin: (from top of the hill) Miss Misao!! Sir Tim!!

Tim: Great!

Kaoru: What are they doing?!

Omasu: Are they......battling each other?!

Yuki: But why is he...?!

Kaoru: It's not him.

Yuki: What?

Kaoru: Tim is not himself. The evil of Makoto Shishio flows through his veins, and now.....it forces him to try and kill Misao.

Yuki: Uhh.....(looks down at them) Sister......

Tim: If any of you even happens to step closer.....I'll kill her in an instant, you got that?!

Aoshi: If you dare, I swear I'll....

Tim: ......kill me? (softly laughs) I'd like to see you try, since you gave up on swordmanship. Now then....(looks at Misao again) let's begin.

Misao: ....Okay....Tim.

Tim: (charges)

Misao: ..................

Tim: Heahhhhh!!!!! (swings down)

(Misao jumps back. Tim continues charging, ready to cut her across the middle. She blocks it with her kunais, and then jumps to the right.)

Tim: It seems you're not the sniveling ***** you always are! I'm impressed! (laughs)

Misao: ...........(throws kunais)

(CLINGCLINGCLING)

Tim: Pathetic! You definetely have changed since the Tokyo Tournament.

Misao: (herself) Uhh......wait a sec.....(flashback of that time) Tim didn't fight me, and whatever happens when Tim is around as Shishio, he'll remember since....Himura!!!

Kenshin: What is it Misao?!

Misao: This isn't Tim I'm fighting! It's......

Tim: .......(smirks) So.....you finally figured it out, huh?! It's not his choice or will to turn into this form, but it's MY choice.

Misao: So....Tim is merely your puppet to try and get rid of us, right?!

All: .......!!!

Tim: Hehhehheh......yes, no matter what, Tim will die either way!

Misao: You are the lowest piece of shit I know!!

Tim: So......you don't love Tim anymore, do you?!

Misao: Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All: Misao!!!

Misao: I want Tim back......Please, give him back. (crying) GIVE HIM THE **** BACK!!!!!

Kenshin: I've had enough of this!! (jumps down towards Tim)

Tim: ALRIGHT!!!!! (goes to kill Misao)

Misao: (crying) Tim......I love you, no matter what happens......

Tim: Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! (about to cut her head off)

Misao: .....I'll always be with you.

Tim: Uhh......(stops)

All: ................

Misao: (kneels down and continues crying) Come back....stay with me....forever.

Tim: ..............

Misao: Please......(cries harder) please........

Tim: .......(throws sword behind him)

Misao: (continues crying)

Tim: ......(kicks her hard in the face) Fine, I shall kill you with my hands then! (grabs her by the neck and lifts her up, choking her)

Misao: Uh.....ah....gh......

Kenshin: Miss Misao!!! (steps closer)

Tim: Hold it!!! (grips her neck harder)

Misao: Ah....eh.....

Tim: Step any closer, and I squeeze her neck till it bursts!!

Misao: T.....Tim.....(places arms around his) st......op....this.......

Tim: (kicks her in the stomach) Get your hands off me!! (grips a little tighter)

Misao: N....no....don't.....(places hand on wounded cheek) I.....beg of you. Please......my love.....

Tim: Uhh.....

Misao: St....op it......pl..ease.....

Tim: ................

All: ...........

Kenshin: .....Sir Tim?

Tim: Mi....sao.....

Misao: Uhh.......

(Tim drops her and Misao gasps for air)

Tim: Misao.....

Misao: T....Tim?

Tim: .......I'm.......sorry. (he collapses in tears) I'm so sorry!

Misao: .........(crawls over to him and kneels on her legs) Hey....dear.

Tim: .......(looks at her, showing his sad, innocent eyes)

Misao: .....(smiles) I'm just glad you're back as the one I love. (hugs) Thanks for staying with me.

Tim: .....You....still love me? Even after......I almost killed you?

Misao: (smiles and looks right into Tim's eyes) Of course Tim. I know in my heart you wouldn't allow yourself to do that.

Tim: (smiles) Yeah......that's true. (holds her hand)

(Misao smiles and holds his hand as well. They lean in and kiss.)

Kenshin: (smiles) Those two......they're very special, that they are.

All: (smiling)

(Suddenly.....)

Man: Sir Okina!!

Okina: Wh....what is it?!

Man: The Aoiya.....it's on fire!!

Tim: Uh......wait, where's....Yasuo and Heather?!

Kenshin: They stayed behind with the guys, but....they don't have a chance against 100 men!!

Tim: Uurghhhhh!!!!!

Misao: Tim?

Tim: (suddenly stands up) He can try to make me kill you, he can try to kill you himself......but, there is no ****ing way, he can take our adoptive children away!! (clenches fists) Let's go everyone! To the Aoiya!!!
