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

Last time: After Tim and Misao woke up from a good night's rest, Kaoru asked Misao to go downtown and buy some carrots for meso soup. As Misao was downtown, she was asked by a man to have her come back for something in a side-alley. As she was led in, the man suddenly held a gun to her head. Tim was getting worried so he went to go look for her. As he was walking, one of Misao's kunai's almost hit him. Attached to it was a note. On it said that Misao has been kidnapped!! Tim was angered by this, so he went back to the dojo and told everyone that he was going to go rescue the most important person to him......Misao.

(Just outside Tokyo)

Tim: (thinking of Misao and the times he spent with her) Misao........if, .....if anything ever happened to you, I.........I don't know what I would do, so with that said, I promise......I promise that I'll save you, no matter what!!

Act 1: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 2-The Journey Forth:Enemy #1

(The intersection of Izu and Kyoto)

Tim: .........Hmmmm (remembering walking with Misao from Izu and Kyoto on this same path......the Tokaido Trail.) Funny, how these things.....(trying to hold back tears) can bring back happy memories. Well, I guess I can go visit.....(sniff) Yoshi if I'm going towards that way)

(Yoshi's house. Tim knocks)

Yoshi: Coming!! (he opens the door) Oh, hi Tim!! Uhhh........(he see's tears rolling down his face) Tim, what's wrong?!

Tim: Oh.......nothing.

Yoshi: ........You can tell me, come on.

Tim: .........(looks at Yoshi)

Yoshi: ........(smiles back)

Tim: ........Misao has been taken from me.

Yoshi: What?!

Tim: She's been.......kidnapped!!

Yoshi: Oh Tim.......

(Tim breaks down crying)

Yoshi: Come inside.

(Tim is led to a chair to sit in as Yoshi say's he'd go get some fresh tea)

Tim: (himself) Misao.........

Yoshi: Here Tim, this'll make you feel better!

Tim: (takes tea) Thanks Yoshi, you're a great friend.

(Yoshi smiles in response then he sit's in a chair across from Tim)

Yoshi: It must be tough, huh?

Tim: This is the saddiest I've ever felt. (sips his tea)

Yoshi: ......If you believe in yourself that you can save her, then there's a chance that you will succeed!

Tim: Believing in myself.........

Yoshi: Yeah......

Tim: It's a great way of solving problems, that it is.

Yoshi: People always do if they want to accomplish something big.

Tim: Yeah. (sips his tea)

Yoshi: So, how long you planning on staying here? Probably not long, right?

Tim: Nope, I have to hurry to Kyoto and face whoever did this. I swear I'll kill that person.

Yoshi: ............Okay.

(Suddenly.......)

????: Alright, where are you?!

Tim and Yoshi: Huh?!

????: Where are you, battousai?!

Yoshi: Battousai?! Does he mean you?!

Tim: .......Yeah. (set's tea down) Stay here, alright?

Yoshi: O......okay!

????: Come out now or I'll burn this village to the ground!!!

Tim: I'm here!!

????: Huh?! (he looks in front of him) So, you've arrived!!

Tim: Yes! Who are you?!

????: My name is Tashiko Nanaka, formely known as the "snake demon!"

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

Tashiko: With my whip, I am one with the snake spirit and it will "sting" whoever it touches, except me of course!!

Tim: Are you here to tell me a story or to fight?!

Tashiko: If you're ready to fight, then prepare yourself little one!!! (takes whip out and whips it on the ground) In order to save your wife, you must defeat me, #1 of 8 of the Chain Gang, for we are all nicknamed animals!! If you manage to survive, the next enemy is Minako, the bird demon!! Now, let us begin, Tim Ouellette the battousai!!! (charges)

(Other people are now watching the fight from inside their houses)

Tim: (himself) Give me strength, Misao!!! (unsheathes sword) AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (charges)

(As both of them are about to meet in the middle, Tim swings his sword at Tashiko but misses him and then Tashiko jumps high in the air then swings his whip at Tim. He dodges it by rolling to the right then freezes in his position as Tashiko lands on his feet)

Tashiko: Impressive!! You aren't JUST a rumor with your strength, you've become a legend!! But, THAT will end here!! (whips his whip)

Tim: Let's just get this over with!!

Tashiko: .............

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

(The wind blows lightly as they're staring down each other)

Tashiko: Here I come!!! (charges)

Tim: Right!!! (charges too)

(This time, Tashiko attacks first and Tim dodges it, then from out of nowhere, the whip suddenly smacks Tim hard on the back. What happened was Tim somehow didn't see Tashiko's whip extend and then smack him in the back. This is where Tashiko had the advantage. Tim falls to the ground in pain.)

Yoshi: No, Tim!!!

Tim: Uuuhnnnnnn.......

Tashiko: Heh heh heh!!!!! How did you like THAT?!

Tim: (himself) That.......bastard!!! Uuhnnn.......(starts to get up)

Tashiko: I don't think so!!! (aims whip at Tim)

(SMACK!!!!!! In the back again)

Tim: AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tashiko: You might be feeling a little sick in a few minutes if you want to know, then in an hour, you will die!!!

Tim: (himself) What is he.......talking about?! (starting to get up again)

Tashiko: Uh-uh-uh!!! (does it again, but Tim suddenly rolls to the right and get's on his feet as fast as he can) Oh, clever aren't you?!

Tim: I won't.....go down.......that easily!!

Tashiko: I'm sure you will.......after the poison take's it's affect on you!!

Tim: (shocked) Poison?!

Tashiko: Why do you think they call me the "snake demon", hmmm?! Ha ha ha ha ha!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Tim: You bastard!!! Uuuhh.......(suddenly feels pain) The poison is starting to take affect!! I don't have much time!!

Stay tuned next time as the battle continues!!!!!

Next time-Battousai Once Again?:The Killer is Unleashed!!!

Last time: Tim showed up in Yoshi's village to say hi, but what was waiting for him was no welcome party; it was Tashiko Nanaka, the first member of the Chain Gang Tim will have to fight in order to rescue Misao. As their battle got underway, Tim suddenly had a disadvantage as Tashiko's whip suddenly got behind Tim and got him hard in the back. Tim went down then was told that he would be feeling sick in a few minutes, then a little later, he was told the whip was poisonous and that he would die in an hour. Tim will have to hurry if he want's to be healed by the poison. The battle continues!!!

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 3-Battousai Once Again?:The Killer is Unleashed

Tim: (himself) I need to defeat him quickly so I can heal myself from the poison, but if I don't hurry up, the poison will drain my energy and I won't stand a chance! I have to UUNGHHHH......!!!!!! (sudden pain)

Yoshi: Tim!!!!!

Tim: (himself) Dammit, I don't have much time!! I have too......I have too.....!! (pictures Misao in his head) I HAVE TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tashiko: Heh!!!

(Tim's head is lowered and his face isn't showable, then he suddenly raise's it and Tashiko see's that.....)

Tashiko: You're.....!!!

Tim: .........Yes, I am now the battousai, and with this power, I SWEAR THAT I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!

Yoshi: Tim.........

Tashiko: You will kill me?! I doubt it!!

Tim: ......Every enemy I've went up against by turning into the battousai I have killed.......(evil smile) and now it's your turn!!

Tashiko: Don't let that go to your head! Don't forget that you're still poisoned from my whip!

Tim: ........Shut up!! (charges) Now you will die by my hand!!!

Tashiko: Fat chance!!! (makes whip go towards Tim and he jumps over it)

Tim: Got you!!!

Tashiko: Heh!!! (makes whip go towards Tim while he's in the air)

Tim: Oh no!! (the whip wraps around Tim's neck then he is thrown into a wall)

Yoshi: Tim!!!

Tim: Uuhhh.......

Tashiko: Heh, what a weakling!! (pulls the whip so that he can drag Tim over)

Yoshi: No.......TIM!!!!!

(Tim is now next to Tashiko's feet, being strangled by the whip, which means more poison is entering Tim's body. Luckily, as the whip was wrapping around Tim's neck, Tim raised his hand to prevent it from choking him harder)

Tashiko: It looks like the tables have turned.....HUH?!?! (he kicks Tim) How does it feel to lose?! Tell me, how is it?!

Tim: (struggling to talk) Beli.....eve me, it's hap......pened before, that it......has!

Tashiko: Oh really, how about we have it happen again?!

Tim: Sorry, but it isn't.......in my sch.....edule!

Tashiko: Then I'll just have to push it in!! (pulls whip so that he can strangle Tim by letting him hang above the ground) Enjoy it while it lasts!!

Yoshi: Tim!!!

Tim: (himself) Uuhhh......I can't.....lose!! Misao is......waiting for me! I promised.....I promised to myself.....that I would save her, no matter.....what!!

Tashiko: Come on, DIE ALREADY!!!!!

Tim: Misao.....I'm coming! (unsheathes sword with his free hand then suddenly cuts the whip and free's himself from the grip, then he quickly jumps back and limps) I feel.......so tired.......

Tashiko: Oh, what's wrong?! Don't tell me you're going to sleep on me!!

Tim: Don't......bet on it! (extends sword) This is only......the beginning!

Tashiko: Hmmm........

Tim: (himself) I need to beat this guy quickly, or I'll.......die!! If I die, Misao will die too!! Uuhhh......Misao! I don't want you......to go through what you went through at the tournament!

(Flashback of Misao being killed by Shishio at the previous tournament)

Tim: (crying) (to himself) Uuhhh......Misao. I'm.......I'm sorry. I should've went with you into town. We shouldn't have seperated. We should've stayed together.....we should've been there, to protect each other, but what was done, has been done, and now, I am coming to save you. Hear me with your heart.......I am coming!

(We are then shown Misao)

Misao: Tim.......was that Tim I heard? (closes her eyes) Uhhh?! He's coming....for me. (crying) Oh Tim, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry you have to fight the Chain Gang because of.......(cries harder)

(Back to Tim)

Tim: (himself) I have to give it my all to win! I will........save her!!

Tashiko: Can we continue already?!

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

Tashiko: Hey brat, I'm talking to you!!!!!

Tim: .........(raises head) I will........DEFEAT YOU!!!!!

Tashiko: Bring it on then!!!

Tim: (charges) This is for you.......Misao!!!

As Tim thinks over all that's happened that caused all of this, he looks for the strength to go on and rescue Misao and with this strength, he will finish off Tashiko. Will he succeed in doing this, or will Misao suffer the fate of dying again? Stay tuned.........

Next time-The Edge of Death:The Recovery of Tim?

>.< whips can be evil

Part 1

(Kyoto)

Man: Sir, we just got news that Mr. Ouellette, the battousai, has been poisoned quite a bit during his battle with Mr. Nanaka.

Misao: Uhhh......

Hiroshu: Hmm hmm hmm, the strongest in Japan and he's having trouble with the 1st man. How pitiful!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Misao: You shut up!!

Hiroshu: (looks at Misao with somewhat of an evil face) Hmmm?

Misao: You're underestimating his power!! Tim won't let a little poison stop him!! You'll see!! He'll stop your gang and save me.......like he's doing right now!!

Hiroshu: .............(walks over to Misao)

Misao: Uhhh.........

Hiroshu: ...........(suddenly points sword at Misao's head)

Misao: Ahhh!!!!!

Hiroshu: You would be wise to keep your damn mouth shut while you're my hostage, GOT IT?!!? (slaps her in the face then walks off)

Misao: .............(crying softly) Tim...........

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 4-The Edge of Death:The Recovery of Tim?

Tim: (charges) This is for you........Misao!!!

Tashiko: Hmmm......even though my whip has been shortened, it's still deadly!! Here, let me show you!!!

Tim: Try it!!!

(Tashiko raises his shortened whip then aims it at Tim. Tim avoids it then suddenly Tashiko pulls out ANOTHER little whip and hits Tim with it without warning. Tim falls to the ground suffering even more pain)

Tim: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Villager 1: This is so horrible!!

Villager 2: He's just a young one!!

Villager 3: How much longer can he hold on?!

Yoshi: Tim!!!!!

Tashiko: It looks like this is the end for you........battousai!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Tim: (getting up slowly) Son.....of......a......*****!!!!!

Tashiko: Hmmm?!

Tim: I........have had.......enough.......of you!! Now.........witness the real power.....of battousai!!!!!
(charges) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tashiko: (charging too) So, it ends here!!!!!!

Tim: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
(himself) Misao.........whatever transpires now, don't forget......that I will always........be with you.

Tashiko: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: ULTIMATE ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(SSSSSLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH)

(Tim holds the ending stance as Tashiko flies into the air then falls hard to the ground. A DEEP gash has been made in his chest. He is dead.)

Village: YAAY!!!!! HE DID IT!!!!! WAY TO GO TIM!!!!!

Yoshi: He survived..........Great job Tim.

(Tim then exits his stance then sheathes his sword and stands there for a good 1/2 minute, then he says

Tim: That was for you.......Misao.

(He then faints)

Yoshi: TIM!!!!! (runs out to him) Oh boy, Tim, please don't die!! I'll make you better, I promise!!

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

(Kyoto, 2 hours later)

Man: Sir?! Sir?!

Hiroshu: What is it?!

Man: Ta.........Tashiko has been killed!!!

Misao: Uhhh.........

Hiroshu: It seems like this boy has something we don't have, to survive a battle with Tashiko. Is there any new if he survived from the poison?

Man: No, but a friend of his is taking care of him.

Hiroshu: Hmmm..........well, I'm glad his friend is......because I want the opportunity of finishing him off. Hm hm hm hm hm!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

Misao: (herself) Tim.........

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

Tim: ...........Uhhh.......where, am I?

Mom: Tim?

Tim: M........mom?!

Mom: Yes, it's me. How are you feeling?

Tim: I feel......fine. What's going on?

Mom: Your friend, Yoshi, has healed you.

Tim: Does that mean that I'm not dead?

Mom: Heh heh!!! Of course you're not.

Tim: Just wondering.......because the last time I talked with you, it was, like 9 months ago.

Mom: Yep, it's been a while, hasn't it, and I've been watching over you ever since that time.

Tim: You have?

Mom: Yes, and I'm proud of what you're doing right now.

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

Mom: You're fighting to rescue the one you love, and I'm proud of you for doing that.

Tim: ...........Mom.

Mom: I've seen what you two can do together.....and you deserve to be with her.......forever.

Tim: ........(crying)

Mom: You want to talk with her right now?

Tim: Uhhh.....right now?

Mom: Yes, here she is.

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

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Misao?

Misao: Yes, it's me.

Tim: I'm so glad to hear your voice again.

Misao: The same goes for me hearing yours.

Tim: How are you doing?

Misao: .........I'm fine now, but they've been hitting and slapping me here and there.

Tim: Just hold on......I'll be there for you, I promise!

Misao: I believe in you.

Tim: Thanks. (silence for about 10 seconds, then.......) Can I ask one more question?

Misao: What?

Tim: How were you kidnapped?

Misao: .......It was my carelessness.

Tim: What do you mean?

Misao: I was just walking through town till a man asked me to come look at something in an alley. I went to see what what he wanted, then he held a gun up to my head. I was so scared. Then, he led me to where I am, here in Kyoto.

Tim: Where exactly are you?

Misao: Just a few miles away from where you fought Shishio before.

Tim: Okay, I'll look for you around there.

Misao: There's.......something else.

Tim: What?

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

Tim: Misao, what is it?

Misao: Tim......if you die, then you won't be able to come back!!

Tim: Why......is that?!

Misao: Your Love Heal technique and your mom's ability to bring you back are both gone. I don't know why, but they are.

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

Misao: Oh Tim, I can't wait to hug you. (crying harder) I miss you so much!!

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

Mom: Tim?

Tim: Yes?

Mom: You want to hug her?

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

Mom: Well, do you?

Tim: ............Yes, yes I do.

Mom: Okay.

Tim: .........Uhhh.

(Misao then suddenly appears in front of him. She stands there, crying, then quickly runs to Tim and hugs him)

Misao: Oh Tim!!!!!

Tim: Misao.......... (he then extends his arms around her)......I promise Misao, I will save you. I will overcome the evil and then be able to hug you for real. Alright?

Misao: Yes.......I can't wait.

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

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

(They kiss)

End part 1

Part 2

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

Yoshi: ........Tim?

Tim: (opens his eyes) Mi......sao.....

Yoshi: I'm here Tim, don't worry.

Tim: Yoshi.......

Yoshi: (smiles) ..........

Tim: Yoshi.......how long.......has it been?

Yoshi: Since your battle?

Tim: Yes.......

Yoshi: About 7 hours I think.......You were really sick from the poison, but from some herbs that we had, you were cured. You were lucky.

Tim: (softly laughs) Yeah........I guess I am, since I have the support of Misao in my heart.

Yoshi: Yeah.....you're lucky also, to have a nice bride like her. She's one of the nicest people I've met, and she care's deeply for you, as you do, for her.

Tim: Yeah......it was my destiny to marry her, and I'm glad that I did. She has shown me happiness and love in ways I haven't before. Since I've lived in my world, I was always being abused, hurt, and bullied.......I had no friends, no feelings for anything, nothing. I had nothing. But, since I came here, I've been enjoying life. Even though I kill for the good of Japan.....as long as I'm with Misao, my happiness and love for her will never go away.

Yoshi: Tim........uhhh.........(he see's tears starting to roll down Tim's face, then he smiles and says You hungry?

Tim: ........(sniff) (smiles) Sure.

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

(1 hour later)

Tim: (now sitting up in bed) Thanks Yoshi, that was delicious.

Yoshi: I'm glad that you liked it. That stuff is good for people who are just getting over some kind of sickness or illness.

Tim: It sure made me feel good.

Yoshi: Glad to hear it.

Tim: What time is it?

Yoshi: It's just about dusk, so........I'll have to say about 10:00PM.

Tim: I guess I'll leave tomorrow morning then.

Yoshi: .........Yeah.

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

(Next morning at 10:00AM, outside Yoshi's house)

Tim: Well Yoshi, take care........and thanks for everything. I really owe you my life.

Yoshi: Hey, come on, you and Misao are the one's who helped put out the fire back 9 months ago and we were grateful for that.

Tim: It was nothing. You know it was Shishio who started it and I was on a journey to kill him.

Yoshi: I'm glad that you did.

Tim: Yeah........but the weird thing was........

(Flashbacks play of Tim fighting Shishio in the tournament along with scenes of other fights)

Tim: .....Shishio wasn't dead. In the tournament that previously took place in Tokyo, there was a man who was wearing a black cape shrouding his face in darkness. In the preliminaries, he killed my friend, Sojiro, and I swore revenge for what he did. He, along with me, Misao, and Kenshin, made it to the finals and we fought to see who would go on to win it all. The first match was Kenshin vs. Hoji. Kenshin won that fight. Next was me vs. Bonzo, a man I previously fought when I was in Kyoto. When in Kyoto, he used balloon monsters to fight and in the tournament, he was fighting with a sword. I didn't know what was going on, but I managed to beat him. Next was Misao vs. Toma, a man who gave us trouble a while back after he burnt down the dojo and threatened to kill Misao. During this time, he was our friend. He was atoning for his sins and fighting with honor. Misao won that fight. Then.......it was Shishio's turn against Chou, a man who worked for the police and used to work for him in his special attack squad, the Juppogatana. Shishio won that fight by beheading him. Then came the semi-finals. It was me and Kenshin first, the 2 best swordsmen in Japan facing off. Our match seemed like a draw for about 70% of it, then the tables turned and I came out victorious. Kenshin could've won, but we decided that I should go on to fight Shishio, which we didn't know it was him at the time. Then.....Misao had to fight him. The battle was going alright till.......(anger is appearing in Tim's voice) that bastard had to kill her!!! I watched as Shishio's sword slashed Misao across the stomach and then watched her helplessly fly out of the ring. I went to her and was with her till her final breath......holding her hand. After her hand limped in mine, my body went numb. I couldn't hold my anger in, so I became a battousai and killed that mother ****er!! The thing was.......I had a little help.

Yoshi: What do you mean?

Tim: ...........(smiles) Misao was there with me.

Yoshi: Huh?

Tim: She was there with me........in spirit.

Yoshi: In spirit?

Tim: Yeah.......Anyhow, after the tournament, I rested in the clinic and then, like you saw.......she came back.

Yoshi: (smiles) Yep.

Tim: Want to know how?

Yoshi: Yeah.

Tim: Okay. When I died once before, I had a dream.....a dream with my parents in it. They said that they would be able to bring me back. I don't know how they did it, but I came back.....and I'm still here. The same is with Misao. The same thing happened to her. I'm so grateful to them. (more tears)

Yoshi: ................

Tim: ..........(sniff) WELL, I should get going. Thanks again for helping me and for the supplies.

Yoshi: You're welcome. See ya!

Tim: Yeah.........(he starts off)

Yoshi: Hey wait, Tim?!

Tim: What is it?

Yoshi: ...........When you rescue Misao, can you come visit again?

Tim: ........(smiles) Sure, I bet Misao would like too. Bye. (he leaves)

Yoshi: (smiles) Good luck......Tim.

After nearly winning his battle against Tashiko and then being healed with Yoshi's help, Tim is finally off again to rescue Misao. Who is next for Tim to fight and what other dangers await him other than that? Stay tuned...........

Next time-Danger in the Air😮vercome the Demon with Wings

(10 miles away from Yoshi's village)

Tim: (himself) ..........I wonder how hard Minako, the bird demon will be? However hard he is, I will give it my all!!

(He continues walking for about another mile until.......)

(SWISH!!!)

Tim: Huh?! (he looks up at the trees) Could that have been.....?! (pause) Nah, it's probably just something else.

(He continues on till he hears the same noise from above, but it was much louder)

Tim: (drops the bag of supplies and get's ready to unsheathe his sword) Alright, there's no use hiding, so why don't you just come out......Minako!!!

(Something suddenly falls from the trees)

Tim: Uhhh......what the hell?!

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 5-Danger in the Air😮vercome the Demon with Wings

Tim: This......can't be for real!!

Minako: Hm hm hm!!!

Tim: .......Your wings, they're.....REAL!!!

Minako: Heh heh, yes they are!!

Tim: How is that?!

Minako: It's just like the name I'm given! I'm a real demon!!

Tim: (himself) Unreal!!!

Minako: Anyhow, did you come to talk, or are you going to fight me, Minako, #2 of 8 of the Chain Gang?!

Tim: If you want to fight, (extends sword) then let's go!!!

(Minako flies up a little higher than Tim, then he quickly swoops down. Tim quickly jumps over him.)

Tim: (himself) Dammit!! If I'm going to spend the whole time trying to avoid his attacks, I don't have a chance!! Also, he can fly higher than me, so it's going to be very hard to get him, not unless I can get him when he swoops down at me, but he's fast, so I have to make my attacks count!! (grips sword higher and yells out: ) Alright, let's go!!!

Minako: (swooping down again) AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Okay!!! (as Minako is about to hit Tim, Tim goes for a straight-slash down, but Minako QUICKLY swoops to the left, then goes behind Tim and scratches him hard on the back with his sharp clawed feet) AAAHHHHH!!!!! UUUGGHHHHH!!!!!!! (he's still standing) (himself) Damn, I can't even get close enough to hit him!!! He's too fast!!

Minako: (swooping down from the right of Tim) Here I come again!!!

Tim: I don't think so!! (ducks) Heh!!!

Minako: (landing on his feet) Impressive!! I was coming at a fast speed towards your head and you were able too avoid it! You're the first opponent I've had out of 10 that withstood my claws after getting cut across the back and was able to see me coming from the right! You are certainly the legend being told of around Japan! The one able to beat Makoto Shishio TWICE, last time at the first annual Tokyo Tournament and was the champion! I also heard that your wife was killed!

Tim: Uuhnnn......WHAT?! WHEN?!?!

Minako: HA HA HA!!!!! Don't worry, I'm talking about from what happened in the tournament! HA HA HA, you should've seen your face!!

Tim: Bastard!!!!! (charges)

Minako: Bad move kid!!!

Tim: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (left diagonal slash) Uhhh......

Minako: There's no way you can defeat me, not while I can fly at anytime I want!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

Tim: Dammit..........

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

(Tokyo policestation)

(Kenshin and Cheif Miraki are talking about Tim's situation)

Miraki: So, you say that Sir Tim is on his way to Kyoto once again to face an enemy he doesn't know about?!

Kenshin: I have a feeling he know's now who he faces, that he does. Have you heard anything?

Miraki: Well, I've heard news of a man who is planning on taking over Japan like Shishio has tried to do before him. He's probably heard of Sir Tim and was looking for the advantage to kidnap the one who he care's for, Miss Misao. Just like you said, he's srt up his headquarters in Kyoto and he's gathered together 7 strong fighters known as the Chain Gang. They are strong and ruthless and will do anything to kill their opponents. The types of skills they use are told through their nicknames, which are animals.

Kenshin: So, you're saying Sir Tim will have to fight ALL 8 of them all by himself, without knowing what they're capable of at first?!

Miraki: .........I'm afraid so.

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

(Back to the fight)

Tim: (himself) How the hell am I going to get him if he's too fast when he swoops down to get me and if he stay's up in the air the rest of the time?! I've gotta think fast!!

Minako: What's wrong?! Am I "too fast" for you?! HA HA HA!!!!!!

Tim: You lousy....!!!!!

Minako: Heh!!!!! (swooping down again)

Tim: (himself) I guess I'll try it again!!

(Straight-slash down, missed again, then Minako scratches Tim in the back again)

Tim: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

(He's still standing, but barely)

Minako: HA HA HA!!!!!!

Tim: (himself) Uunnghhh.......I don't think, I'll survive another attack like that!! What.....am I going to do?!

Minako: One more and you're down!! If you're lucky, you'll survive!! (about to swoop down again) Here I come!!!

Tim: (himself) .......Wait!!! I know.......yes, YES, I know how I can bet him now!!!

TO BE CONTINUED

Next time-The Lone Passerby:A New Ally?

Last time, as Tim was walking through the woods, he finally came across Minako, the bird demon. Their fight started up and Tim saw Minako as a very strong opponent. Because of Minako's ability to fly and his fast swooping speed, he hasn't saw a chance to attack or hurt him, till now. Tim has finally come up with a plan to take down Minako. What will it be? Stay tuned.........

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 6-The Lone Passerby: A New Ally?

Minako: (about to swoop down) Here I come!!!

Tim: (himself) ........Wait!!! I know......yes, YES!!! I know how I can beat him now!!!

Minako: (swooping down) AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Tim: (turns towards Minako and raises his sword) Alright!!!

Minako: (himself) That again........what a fool!!!

Tim: SWORD OF........JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Minako: WHAT?!?!!?

(Tim does this technique at god-like speed and before Minako could even see it, the waves of energy have already cut him into pieces!! Blood and guts go every which way, a good amount landing on Tim)

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

(Silence)

Tim: .........Heh! (slowly sheathes his sword, picks up his bag and SLOWLY walks off. About 1/2 mile later, he passes out.)

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

(2 hours later)

????: Hello?

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

????: Excuse me........Sir?

Tim: ............Uhhh. (coughcoughcough)

????: Are you alright?

Tim: Uhhh........I, think so.

????: Here, let me help you sit up. (helps him sit against a tree)

Tim: (coughcough) Th......Thank you, sir.

????: Don't mention it. Just helping out people in need.

Tim: (smiles) Who are you?

????: I'm a travelling swordsman. The name's plainly Alexander. You?

Tim: Tim. Tim Ouellette.

(Alex is about the same height as Tim, is about 20, and has brown hair)

Alex: You......You're THE Tim Ouellette?! The hero of Japan?!

Tim: Yep.

Alex: Oh, I never knew! It's an honor meeting you!

Tim: And it's an honor having someone like you pass by and help me out, that it is.

Alex: (laughing) Yep, you're like they say! Funny and a legend!

Tim: Hmmm.......

Alex: So, where you headed?

Tim: To Kyoto.

Alex: Family?

Tim: ..........It's best that I don't tell you.

Alex: Oh, I see. Okay.

(Pause)

Alex: By the way, why are you covered in blood and guts? Did something bad happen?

Tim: I had a battle with a bird demon. I used my ultimate attack against him, which cut him into tiny pieces and his blood and guts flew every which way.

Alex: I can see what you mean. (looking around) You want to go get cleaned up? There's a town up ahead.

Tim: Oh yeah, I remember from my previous journey. Yeah, let's go. Maybe I can go get my wounds treated somewhere.

Alex: Probably.

Tim: (starting to get up) Aaaahhhhh.......!!!!!!

Alex: You alright?!

Tim: Y.......yeah! It's just.......the wounds on my back.

Alex: (looks) Oh!! Did the bird demon make these?!

Tim: Yes, after he scratched me with his sharp claws.

Alex: Man, they're pretty deep.

Tim: Could you.......help me walk there, please?

Alex: Sure. (Tim puts his arm around Alex's back and he struggles to walk)

Tim: Dammit, it hurts!!!

Alex: I know, but you can do it, I mean, you're the legend. You can handle it.

Tim: Yeah....yeah, I can.

(Alex smiles)

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

(The town)

Alex: Ok, now to find a doctor.

Tim: (weakly) Yeah..........

Alex: H.....hey, are you alright?! Tim!!!

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

Alex: Okay. I'll ask someone for help. (looks around then goes over to a middle-aged man) Excuse me?

Man: Yes, can I help you young one?

Alex: I need a doctor. Could you help me?

Man: (see's Tim) Oh my gosh, what happened to him?!

Tim: He was injured in a battle and I ran across him laying in the road outside of town.

Man: I see, bring him this way, would you?

Alex: Okay. Thanks sir.

(They are led into a building with a sign above that say's "Local clinic: Run by the Taeda family)

Man: Bring him this way. (they are led to an empty bed towards the middle of the building) Lay him down there on his stomach, would you?

Alex: Sure. (lays Tim down)

Tim: AAHHHHH!!!!!!

Alex: Sorry Tim.

Man: Okay, let's have a look.

Alex: Wait a second.

Man: What is it?

Alex: You're a doctor?

Man: Yep, that's right.

Alex: Oh, I didn't know.

Man: Heh heh, well I'm actually the owner of this clinic.

Alex: So, you're Mr. Taeda?

Man: Yep.

Alex: That's good, so could you stitch up Sir Tim's wounds?

Mr. Taeda: I sure could.

Alex: Thank you sir, you're very kind.

Mr. Taeda: You don't have to thank me. I'm in this business because I like to help others.

(Alex smiles)

Mr. Taeda: Alright, let's see. (takes the back of Tim's shirt off) Boy, these cut's are pretty deep. It looks like this will be one painful surgery.

Tim: (weakly) Doctor...........

Mr. Taeda: Yes son?

Tim: I........I need to get to Kyoto.

Mr. Taeda: Not in your condition son, I'm sorry.

Tim: But........my wife........

Mr. Taeda: Your wife?

Alex: You mean the one called Misao?

Tim: You know her?

Alex: Well......no, I don't know her, but she's mentioned in the newspaper where I am. What's wrong? Did something happen?

Tim: She was........kidnapped.

Alex: Kidnapped?! That's terrible!!

Tim: Yeah, and the ransom note I found said to go to Kyoto if I ever want to see her again.

Mr. Taeda: That is important, but what use is it to go there if you'll probably die on the way?

Tim: Uuhnn........(starts crying)

Alex: Tim...........

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

Mr. Taeda: Excuse me?

Alex: Yes?

Mr. Taeda: Could you leave please? I'm going to get started on his surgery now.

Alex: Of course. (get's up, start's leaving, the he turns around to look at Tim) Sir Tim?

Tim: Y......yes?

Alex: I'll be waiting outside, so look for me there, okay?

Tim: O.......okay. See ya.

Alex: (smiles, then waves) See ya. (closes the curtain behind him) ..........(himself) Why? Why must it be this way?

Next time-The Healing Process:A Time to Contemplate

(We are shown Alex sleeping outside, who is having a dream. We are shown it, but can't make out anything because of the brightness and bluriness. All we can make out is Alex.)

????: You have my orders, now go to him and bring him to me!!

Alex: Why should I listen to you?! You're not even my real father!!

????: I mean it you damn brat!!! I will KILL YOU if you don't follow this order!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!!?

Alex: Uhhhh.........

????: ..................

Alex: .......Yes sir.

????: Good, NOW GO!!!

(Alex suddenly wakes up)

Alex: .............Hmmphhh!!!

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 7-The Healing Process:A Time to Contemplate

(It has been 5 hours since the doctor finished the operation on Tim and Alex has been sleeping till now. It is now early dusk and the sun is just hiding behind the mountains. Alex get's up after waking up from sitting on the ground and stretches and goes into the clinic, where all the patients are sleeping. He goes to Tim's area, where he see's him with bandages tied around his upper body and he's sleeping, like the others.)

Alex: (himself) I won't bother him. He need's his rest after what the doctor did. (He start's leaving until........)

Tim: (weakly) Hey........Alex.

Alex: Oh.....you're awake?

Tim: Yeah. So, what have you been doing?

Alex: Just sleeping outside.

Tim: Hmmm.

Alex: (smiles) So.....it was painful, right?

Tim: Well, I was sleeping during it after he gave me some medicine to do so, then I think it took about 1 1/2 hours to stitch my wounds.

Alex: But, it still hurts?

Tim: Like hell, it does!

Alex: (softly laughs) Oh boy, what would Misao say if she saw you right now?

Tim: ...........She........she would just.......feel sorry for me, that she would.

Alex: How did she get kidnapped anyway?

Tim: It all started on May 10th.

(Flashbacks while Tim is talking)

Tim: Anyday started like any other. Me and Misao would wake up and join the others outside. We would then eat together, but the thing was we needed carrots for meso soup, so Misao decided to go into town and buy some. While she was there, a man took advantage of her and took her into an alley and held a gun up to her head and just.......kidnapped her.

Alex: How do you know all of this when you weren't there?

Tim: Me and her had a talk.......well, I don't know how, but I think it was, like one time, through a dream.

Alex: A dream?

Tim: Yeah. She told me everything that happened.......and I said that no matter what.......I would save her!

Alex: I see........

Tim: Huh? Is something wrong?

Alex: No, it's nothing. It's just sad what's happened to you.

Tim: Oh........

Alex: Could I ask about the GOOD times you've spent with her?

Tim: Boy......I have a lot of those. Well, let me just start with the first time we met. Heh boy, that was pretty fun!

Alex: How did you meet?

Tim: We met each other in the woods outside Tokyo when I departed on my journey against Shishio. I was sleeping under a tree at the time when she ran into me. She woke me up and then we just......became friends, and eventually a couple afterwards.

Alex: That's nice. Others?

Tim: A while later, we ran into a village that was blown up by Shishio, and there were no survivors, except a little girl that was playing outside the village at the time and wasn't affected much by the bombing. She was sad to hear that she had no one left.......so then we decided to take her in as our daughter.

Alex: Hmmm......

Tim: Yep, she's quite a cute little girl, that she is.

Alex: How old is she?

Tim: A little over 7 1/2. She's growing up fast, and she eventually went to school for the first time.

Alex: She must've enjoyed it.

Tim: That she did, yes.

Alex: ...........Others?

Tim: Yes.......with Misao.........

Alex: Okay.

Tim: On clear nights, me and her would go talk by the riverbed for quite long times.....We would just sit there and hold hands.

Alex: .........Tim........

Tim: Yes......then came our wedding day, which was the best day of my life. We were so happy that day.....(crying) .....so, so happy......

Alex: Tim.........

Tim: Now, some ****ing retard comes and thinks he can just take her away from me just like that!!

Alex: (himself) Yes, he's right about that. Totally right.

Tim: Hey......(sniff), is something wrong?

Alex: Huh......oh, it's nothing, really.

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

Alex: Well, I should let you sleep, alright? (get's up and start's leaving)

Tim: Alex?

Alex: (look's at Tim) Yes?

Tim: (smiles) Thanks for everything, and listening to my story.

Alex: ........(smiles back) You're welcome........Tim.(he leaves)

Tim: (to himself) Don't worry Misao, I'll start on my way again eventually. I won't let these days of happiness go to waste!!

(Kyoto)

Man: Sir?

Hiroshu:Yes?

Man: He has done as you said.

Hiroshu: Hm hm, good!! Now all we have to do is wait!! Hm hm hm hm hm!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Misao: (himself) Tim........please be careful.

somethings fishy about that Alex dude...

Act I:The Gang of Evil
Chapter 8-Unexpected Visitor:Tim's Disadvantage

(3 days after the talk with Alex)

Mr. Taeda: Excuse me.....Sir Tim?

Tim: (waking up) Uhhh.......yeah?

Mr. Taeda: It's time for your walk.

Tim: Okay.

Mr. Taeda: But first, drink your medicine.

Tim: (sits up in bed and takes it) Thanks. (gulpgulp) Uuugghhhh......

Mr. Taeda: I know. It's not the best, but it'll make your wounds heal faster.

Tim: That's good. (slowly get's out of bed and stands up) Well, let's go then.

(Outside the inn)

Alex: (himself) I hope Tim us doing alright. It's been 3 days so far since we last talked. (sigh and smiles) Well, he's a strong kid. He'll make it.

Tim: Oh, hi Alex.

Alex: Oh, Tim, I didn't see you come out. (get's up off the ground) How are you feeling?

Tim: Much better, that I am.

Alex: Hmmm.....that's good.

Tim: So, where were you yesterday? I didn't see you anywhere in town.

Alex: Oh yeah.......I just went to visit someone in another nearby village.

Tim: Oh, okay.

Alex: So, going on your daily walk?

Tim: Yep, and in a week, I'll be able to continue on.

Alex: (smiles) That's good news. (himself) It's a good thing he listened when I told him that, or he would've.......

Tim: Alex, something wrong?

Alex: No, it's nothing.

Tim: (smiles) Well, see you later. (leaves)

Alex: Bye Tim!

(Silence for about 10 seconds)

Alex: (himself) How can I......?

(Later that afternoon)

Tim: (laying in bed thinking to himself) I wonder who my other opponents will be from the Chain Gang? I have 6 more to fight, 1 for sure being the leader, Hiroshu. The third one is yet a mystery. Hmmm.....

Alex: Hey Tim.

Tim: Oh Alex, hi.

Alex: I brought lunch. Hungry?

Tim: Sure.

(During their meal)

Alex: Good?

Tim: The rice is superb.

Alex: Yeah, I got this food from a restaurant down the street. They say they have THE best rice in the area.

Tim: I can taste why.

Alex: (softly laughs) I always wondered Tim, ever since I met you, why a person like yourself became such a strong and somewhat violent swordsman?

Tim: I wonder that myself too.....

Alex: Oh......

Tim: I'm in my room in my world at one instant then the next, I'm here killing. I still don't understand.....why? Why does it have to be this way?

Alex: ...............

Tim: After meeting Misao then asking her to marry me, I finally found my purpose of being here, but it seems that's it's a different one.......but I don't know what.

(Alex remains silent)

Tim: One thing that bothers me is Shishio. He mysteriously came back to life after everyone thought he died from combustion, then I arrive and he's back. That still bothers me.

Alex: ..................

Tim: Then, after thinking I killed him when I fought him, then seeing that he was still alive during the tournament, I was shocked. I didn't know how he survived a stab through the heart, or maybe, I probably missed it, but how? I swear I did. But, there's no need to worry now. I cut his head off in the end.

Alex: That's good.

Tim: Yeah.......

(They're both silent)

Alex: Well, I suppose I should let you rest more, alright?

Tim: Ok, see ya.

Alex: Same here.

(Suddenly.....)

Man: (from outside) AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: What the hell?! (suddenly get's out of bed) Uuhhhh......

Alex: Tim, what are you doing?!

Tim: I don't know.....but it might be my next opponent! I need to face him!

Alex: Tim, you can't! You're too weak to fight!

Tim: Just get out of my way!!!

Alex: Uhhh.......

Tim: (slowly walking outside, then to himself) I'm sorry Alex.........I didn't mean it.

????: (holding a man up by his front) Where is he?! Tell me where the hell battousai is!!

Man: I.....if you're talking about Sir Tim Ouellette, he's st...staying at the clinic!

????: Thank you for the info! (suddenly cut's his head off with sharp metal claws) Heh heh heh!!! Now, for what I came here for!! Batto.....Huh?!

(And as he looked in front of him, there was Tim with a serious look on his face)

Tim: I take it.....you're the next opponent from the Chain Gang, am I right?!

????: Battousai!! We finally meet!!

Tim: Answer the freaking question!!!

????: Persistant, aren't you?! Yes, I am #3, Kaenyo, the bear demon!!! I am deadly with my sharp claws!!

Tim: Hhmphh.......you're no match for me!!

Kaenyo: I wouldn't count on it......since you're still wounded from your battle with Minako!!

Tim: SHUT UP!!!!! (unsheathes sword, quickly moves forward then falls to the ground in pain) OOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex: Sir Tim!!! (goes to him) Here, let me help you up!

Tim: Thanks.......UUNGGHHHH, Alex.

Kaenyo: What's this?!

Alex: Uhh.......

Kaenyo: Getting assistance from a man like him?! How absurd for the battousai!!

Tim: You son of a.......!!!

Alex: Tim......?

Tim: Alex.......

Alex: I'll fight him for you.

Tim: What?! No, this is my fight!! It's my job to rescue Misao all by myself!!

Alex: Listen Tim, would Misao want to see you all wounded, and almost dead?!

Tim: Uhhh..........

(Tim has a flashback of the time he was killed and Misao was crying)

Tim: Misao.......

Alex: You're still healing......(smiles and looks at Tim) so let me help you save her, okay?

Tim: Alex.........

Alex: ............

Tim: .......(smiles) Good luck!!

Alex: Thanks.....my friend. (set's him down on the side of the street, then he returns to his position in the street)

Kaenyo: Heh heh heh, I can't believe the legendary battousai, next to Himura, would have a boy like you fight me!! I can't wait to tell our leader!!

Alex: ..........You will tell that man NOTHING, you hear me?!

Kaenyo: I always knew you would betray us sometime.....but I didn't expect you to be friends with......HIM!!!!!

Tim: What the hell is going on here?!

Alex: Yes, I AM now friends with Sir Tim and he will be for as long as he possibly can!! I've decided to stop following HIS orders!! So, you can just tell him to shove it!!

Kaenyo: But not before I eliminate you!!! (charges)

Alex: ...............

Tim: ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!

TBC

oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally has time to posts 😊

All questions and answers will be answered in the upcoming events of A Manslayer Story. If you have any questions, just ask my secretary. XD

Sorry, I wanted to do that. Really, all Q&A will be told later, so enjoy till then. 🙂

(Kyoto)

(It is raining out and everyone but Misao is sleeping, who is thinking over all that's happened)

Misao: (herself) It's just......like last time.

(Flashback)

(Note:This never happened to Misao in the show. It's just something I came up with.)

(Aoshi and Misao, who is 5 years old at the time, are having a fun time inside the Aoiya at night eating pastries and cakes. Aoshi then says he has to go to the other room for a minute. He does so, with Misao alone in the room. She's having a great time till a masked man comes into the room and grabs Misao. She let's out a loud scream then Aoshi comes running. When he arrives in the room, there's nothing but a note on the ground saying where the kidnapper would be waiting, to determine Misao's future. Aoshi angrily picks up his sword and goes to the meeting place. When he arrives, he see's Misao on the side with her hands tied behind her back. She's crying out "Lord Aoshi, Lord Aoshi," and this is making him even more angry, seeing her in this state. He then immediately draws his sword and charges wildly at the man and their battle begins. Their battle goes on for about 15 minutes, then it ends with Aoshi ending it with a slash across the chest. He then goes over to Misao and hugs her......crying.)

Aoshi: I'm sorry you had to see that Misao. I promise, from this day on.......I will always protect you.

(End flashback)

Misao: And now......the same thing is happening. Only this time, it's Tim......I became part of the Oniwaban Group so that I could defend myself against things like this, but I failed myself.....and if Tim dies trying to save me, then what will I do? (weeping) What will I do? (crying) Oh Tim, I miss you.

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 9-Alex's Battle Begins:Beware the Bear

Kaenyo: (charging with claws raised) Here I come, brat!!

Alex: .............

Tim: ALEX!!!!!!!

Kaenyo: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (brings claws down)

Alex: (quickly blocks them with sword) ..........

Tim: Uhhh......

Kaenyo: Heh, this prove that you've betrayed us, fighting me like this, and for that, I shall personally finish you off instead of Mr. !!

Alex: Hhmphh.......that man deserves nothing for what he's letting Sir Tim go through!! Anyhow, he's not the real leader, just an imposter!!

Tim: What?!

Kaenyo: Why you little.....!!!!! (pushes down on Alex's sword with his claws)

Alex: Uunghhh.......

Tim: No.....Alex!!!

Alex: Don't think......I'll be defeated.......that easily!!! (pushes up, then jumps back) Besides, I was trained by one of the best!!

Kaenyo: Heh, the best!! You could say that, but everyone always knows that the teacher usually surpasses the student!!

Alex: True, but that's not the case for me, because I know a few moves that the old man couldn't do.....or didn't know about!

Kaenyo: That just isn't possible! Where the hell could you learn something that he couldn't, or can't master?!

Alex: Simple.....A man named Kenshin Himura taught me!

Kaenyo: Ahhh!!!!!!

Crowd: Ahhh!!!!!!

Tim: Ahhh!!!!!! (himself) H.....How does he know Kenshin?!

Kaenyo: And now, you've sunk even lower!! You were involved with that lousy no-good punk that he despises!!

Tim: You shut up!!

Kaenyo: Uhhh.......

Alex: Tim.......

Tim: Sir Ken is a great fighter and could've been part of the Seijiro Hiko heritage if he wanted too, but decided to use his skills for his own reason, and by god.......if he was here now, he'd beat your sorry ass into the ground!!!

Kaenyo: Lousy punk!!! (charges) I'll teach you!!!!!

Tim: Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Alex: Sir Tim!!!

(Tim quickly moves to the left, avoiding Kaenyo's claws. In doing so, he feels terrible pain from the wounds on his back)

Tim: Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Alex: Tim.........

Kaenyo: That was a lucky dodge, but I won't miss this time!! (raises his claws high above him) Any last words you want to say to your beloved wife?! I'll make sure that she get's them!!

Tim: You.......(starts unsheathing sword)

Alex: Tim, NO!!!!!!!

Tim: ..........BASTARD!!!!! (swings sword at Kaenyo but misses)

Kaenyo: Heh, missed!!!

Tim: (himself) This pain.....I can't stand it, but I just can't let Alex risk his life for me! Dammit, what do I do?!

Kaenyo: Now, to end your life!!!

Tim: Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

(SLASH!!!!!)

Tim: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

(Tim was cut across the chest with the claws)

Alex: Kaenyo, stop it!!! Your fight is with me!!!

Kaenyo: Hhmphhh, I guess I'm through with you!! (walks off towards Alex)

Tim: (weakly) Al.........ex.........(passes out)

Alex: Tim!!!!!

Kaenyo: Guess I'm back to you, huh?!

Alex: You will PAY for that, you son-of-a-*****!!! (charges with sword raised)

Kaenyo: Finally, our battle begins!!! (charges with claws raised)

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

(Tim is standing in a field of flowers with fireflies flying around, looking up at the moon, smiling, then he hears someone coming. It's Misao.)

Tim: Hey, right on time.

Misao: Heh, and I thought I was late.

Tim: Even so, I would've waited forever, Misao.

Misao: I know you would.

Tim: (smiles) How about we sit down?

Misao: Okay.

(They do. Both are silent for a minute till........)

Misao: This is the most beautiful night I've ever seen. Is it the same for you?

Tim: Yeah, especially for where we are......and with the fireflies flying around.

Misao: Yeah.

Tim: And also........

Misao: .........

Tim: ........because you're here Misao.

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

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

(They both kiss and they hold it for as long as they can remember)

Misao: Promise me Tim......that we'll always be together.

Tim: .........I promise.

(They both hug. Then, they both start up another discussion.)

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Yes, Misao?

Misao: Don't you ever think of home?

Tim: Of course I do. I always think of how my family is doing, that I do.

Misao: I remember you saying before......that you were glad to be here, and not in your own world.

Tim: Yes, I did say that. But the reason I said that was because everyday of my life there was so terrible, except being with my family and all. They're the only thing I miss.......(starts crying a little) especially my parents.

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

Tim: But now.......in place of them, I have you, Kenshin, Yahiko, everyone I know of that I see everyday.......and I'm proud of that.........that I am.

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

Tim: .......What?

Misao: I.....I want to....

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

Misao: I.......

Tim: (smiles) You must be tired. Should we go home?

Misao: .......No. No, I want to stay here. I want to stay here with you.....for the night. It's so peaceful here.

Tim: .........Okay. We will.

(Misao then lays her head on Tim's shoulder and falls asleep)

Tim: (herself) Misao......she's almost more like a sister than a wife to me;the way she looks up to me, the way she sticks by my side, and the way she loves me, and if I keep this way of thinking with me, then I will always protect her.........Always. (Tim's voice echoes as we go back to Tim laying on the ground)

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

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

Man: Huh? Hey, he's waking up.

Tim: (crying) Misao..........

Man: Don't worry Sir Tim, we'll help you.

Tim: Mi........sao.......(he closes his eyes again)

Man: Hey, Sir Tim?! Sir Tim?!

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

Woman: Did he......pass out?

Man: I think so.

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

Man: I guess we should get him to the clinic then.

Woman: Yeah.

(People go to try to pick him up, then........)

Tim: (dark voice) Don't touch me..........

Man and Woman: Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Tim: (slowly getting up) I'm......going to kill........him.

Man: Sir Tim, please......you're hurt.

Tim: (walks off towards the fight) ...........

Alex: (himself) Dammit, he's too hard for me! I don't think I'll win!

Kaenyo: So, giving up runt?!

Alex: Hhmphhh........keep wishing jerk-off!!

(Suddenly, Tim walks by Alex with a cold look on his face)

Alex: Ti......Tim?!

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

Alex: Tim, don't, you'll die!!!

Tim: Shut up Alex!

Alex: Why are you doing this?!

Tim: Just mind your own damn business!!

Alex: Just tell me........why?

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

Alex: .............

Tim: ...........(normal voice) For......Misao.

Alex: ........(himself) His voice.........it just changed from evil to.....nice.

Tim: Alex..........

Alex: .......Yeah?

Tim: .........If I die.......take care of Misao for me, okay?

Alex: Tim?

Tim: Promise me!!!

Alex: ...............

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

Alex: .........I promise.

Tim: Thanks.......Alex. (he walks off towards Kaenyo)

Alex: .............

Kaenyo: So.........you finally have the guts to fight me, huh?!

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

Kaenyo: And to think.......you still have 5 more of us to fight, including one you already know about!!

Tim: (back to evil voice) Yes......I do.

Kaenyo: I don't think you do......because you're blinded by his kindness!!

Tim: What do you mean?!

Kaenyo: ..........Poor fool! To think you will be killed eventually by him!

Tim: Who the hell are you talking about?!

Kaenyo: Does.........Alexander ring a bell?!

Tim: What?!

Alex: No.......Tim, it's not true!!

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

Kaenyo: Admit it battousai.......you've been deceived!!

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

Alex: ............

Kaenyo: ..........

Crowd: .........

Tim: Liar.......

Kaenyo: Heh heh........

Alex: Tim?

Tim: You are such a ****ing liar!!!

Alex: Tim, really, I'm........

Tim: I can't believe Kaenyo is trying to get me to go against you!!!

Alex: Tim.........

Kaenyo: You will regret what you just said.......WITH YOUR LIFE!!!!!!

Tim: .......Shut up and fight me!

Kaenyo: (charging with claws raised) SAY GOODBYE BRAT!!!!!

Kaenyo: (charging with claws raised) SAY GOODBYE BRAT!!!!!

Tim: (standing in place) .................

Kaenyo: EEAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (brings claws down but misses when Tim does a flip backwards then when he lands, pushes his sword out of the sheathe with his thumb, quickly charges towards Kaenyo then unsheathes his sword at a fast speed hoping to cut him in half, but Kaenyo stopped him from doing it by blocking with his claws. Kaenyo then kicks Tim in the stomach. Tim staggers then Kaenyo punches Tim in the face sending him down to the ground.)

Alex: Tim!!!

Kaenyo: Is that it?!

Tim: Not even close!!! Uunghhh......

Kaenyo: From the way it looks, (raises claws) IT WILL BE!!!!

Tim: Uunghhh.........

(Kaenyo brought his claws down but Tim quickly rolled to the right and get's on his feet)

Tim: Like I said, it isn't!!!

Kaenyo: Then our fight will continue!!! (charges with claws raised)

Tim: Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!! (blocks with sword) My turn!!! (goes for a punch to Kaenyo's face)

Kaenyo: (avoids it) Nice try!!! (kicks Tim hard in the stomach again)

Tim: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Kaenyo then punches Tim in the face 3 times and kicks him again in the stomach. Tim falls to the ground, motionless)

Alex: TIM!!!!!

Kaenyo: Pathetic......I can't believe the legend is going down so fast! Heh, I guess this is a good chance to ask what your farewell words are to your woman!

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

Kaenyo: But you can't do that now, can you?! That's okay.......(raises claws) because she didn't like you anyway!!! (brings claws down)

Tim: Uhhh........

(Tim blocked them with his sword while on the ground still and they hold it)

Kaenyo: What?!

Tim: For your information.....she did love me!! We spent so much time together!! We've been married for the past 8 months and we have many memories already!! We also have a daughter and we're happy to have her!! If you don't think that's enough to show that we love each other very much.........THEN YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!!!!!

Alex: Tim.......

Kaenyo: That's it!! (pushes down on Tim)

Tim: Uunghhhh........

Heather: What's Uncle Kenny talking about Auntie Kaoru?

Kaoru: Heather......the truth is, your mommy and daddy are in real trouble.

To Be Continued

Don't worry everyone. I haven't quit on my story, and I never will. I'm just currently working on this season and this one will be THE longest so far, with 45-50 chapters. Yep, Tim is having a hard time right now in chapter 14 and he doesn't know what to do. Well, don't miss chapter 11 tomorrow. Okay? 🙂

HUZZAH! new chapter!

Act I: The Gang of Evil
Chapter 11-Tim and the Hiten Mitsirugi Style:A New Attack Added

Alex: ...............

Crowd: ............

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

Kaenyo: ............

Tim: (himself) Did I.......do it?

Alex: .............

Kaenyo: Heh heh heh heh heh!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Tim: Aaahhhh!!!!!! Impossible!!!!!

All: Ahhhh!!!!!!!

Kaenyo: Excuse me, but what was THAT?!?!

Tim: Uhhh........this, can't be for real!! How can you still be alive?!

Kaenyo: My reflexes are fast and skilled, and I saw your "attack" coming, so I cut the energy blades with my metal claws!! Heh, surprised, aren't ya?!

Tim: Uhh.......no.......

Kaenyo: Now, MY TURN!!!!! (charges with claws pointed out)

(Tim is in a daze)

Alex: Tim, get the hell out of the way!!!

Tim: Uhhh........

(SLASH)

Tim: Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! (claws go right through Tim's upper right leg)

Alex: (himself) Dammit, he's going to die!!

(Tim falls to the ground)

Tim: I must.......UUNNGHHHH, I must! (struggles to get up)

Kaenyo: Give it up boy, there's no way you can beat me with those injuries!!

Tim: Uungghhhh.....Shut the **** up!!!

Kaenyo: Hmmm?!!?

Tim: I shall now show you.......THE NEWEST ATTACK OF THE HITEN MITSIRUGI!!!!!!!!!!

Alex: (himself)The newest attack?!

Tim: Come.........if you wish to attack me......then do so!!

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

(Tokyo)

Kaoru: So Kenshin, how do you think Tim is doing?

Kenshin: He's a strong kid, I'll have to give him that. He's learned quite a bit since he's arrived here and had his first duel with Gohei Himura. (Flashbacks while talking) He moved so fast when he used my reverse-blade sword, then in the tournament, he used the ultimate attack of the Hiten Mitsirugi, the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki, against Toriyashi. I was surprised he did it. Now, he hash his own attack, the Sword of Justice, which, like he said, used against Gohei and killed him. He was battousai in that battle and when he came too after the battle, he couldn't believe what he did. Then, during his battle with Shishio, he became a battousai once again. He almost died like before but he came back with a technique of love, then he returned home the proud fighter he was...........with his future wife Misao.

Kaoru: They were so happy to be home and together.

Kenshin: They spent time at the riverbed, had fun with their adopted daughter, Heather, and their wedding day went well.

Kaoru: I just pray that Tim makes sure all that isn't thrown away. Should you go help him if he needs it?

Kenshin: Sorry Miss Kaoru, but Tim must do this all by himself, (fades back to Tim) that he does.

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

Kaenyo: So, you have a new attack, huh?! Heh heh, don't make me laugh!! There's no way in hell I would just charge you and have you use it, not unless you catch me offguard!!

Tim: ..........Hmm hmm hmm!!! That's the plan!!

Kaenyo: GO AHEAD AND TRY!!!!!

(Tim charges with sword raised)

Kaenyo: Heh!!!!! (raises claws and brings them down, just missing Tim, who has QUICKLY got behind Kaenyo, raised his sword higher, then.......)

Tim: Hiten Mitsirugi Style........

Kaenyo: Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: AKAMEKI SUPER SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Tim QUICKLY does 100 consecutive sword slashes, then jumps back)

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

Alex: Uhh.........

Crowd: ............

Kaenyo: ..............

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

(Suddenly, Kaenyo's body suddenly falls in pieces!!!)

Crowd: Aahhh!!!!! Uhhh!!!!! What the.....?!

Alex: I can't.......believe it.

Tim: ........Uhh.......(falls to the ground)

Alex: Sir Tim!!!!! (runs too him and checks for a pulse) Oh......thank god, he's just exhausted. Doctor!!!

Mr. Taeda: Yes?!

Alex: Please take Sir Tim. He's hurt even more.

Mr. Taeda: Of course. (takes him) Don't worry, I'll take care of him.

Alex: Thank you so much sir.

(Mr. Taeda goes into the clinic)

Alex: ..........Hang in there Tim. (smiles) Miss Misao is waiting.

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

(Kyoto)

Man: S.........Sir?!

Hiroshu: Let me guess, Kaenyo was defeated, right?

Man: Yes sir, first Alex was fighting him, then the battosuai fought him, despite his injuries and.......

Hiroshu: .........And.....what?

Man: He..........was slaughtered!!!!!

Misao: Uhhh........!!!!

Hiroshu: ..............

Man: ................

Hiroshu: Heh heh, hey no problem! It's a good thing he's doing this, since our "real" leader has told us to be hard on him so his inner demon self would be unleashed! We "would" want that, right?!

Man: Why would we, sir?

Hiroshu: ................

Man: ............

Hiroshu: .............So that he could join us.

Misao: Uhhh.......NO!!!!!

Hiroshu: ..............

Misao: TIM!!!!!!!!!

(SMACK)

Hiroshu: One more thing like that wench and your head comes OFF!!!!!

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

Hiroshu: (walks back over to the man) So, where were we?

Misao: (herself while crying) Tim is really.......a demom? No, he can't!! He's the same boy I've known since I first met him, so kind, so trustworthy, and the one who's had a tough life. Maybe......maybe this "demon" inside of Tim is everything that's been gathered up by people beating up on him, all the anger. Oh Tim.......(cries harder)

Hiroshu: And you're sure that he's arrived?

Man: Yes, our leader made sure that he did.

Hiroshu: Heh heh, looks like the battosuai will be busy in the future!! Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm!!!!!

Misao: (herself) Who is he talking about?!

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

Mr. Taeda: Sir Tim?........Sir Tim?

Tim: (regaining consciousness) Uhhh.........

Mr. Taeda: Are you alright now, Sir Tim?

Tim: Yes.......I think.

Mr. Taeda: That's good...........Also, you have a guest.

(Alex comes into the room)

Tim: Hey.......Alex.

Alex: Hey man, great job out there, I think.

Tim: I'm sorry for making it such a gruesome scene, but there was nothing else that I could do.

Alex: ...........I know what you mean. Kaenyo was one of our strongest fighters.

Tim: ...........Alex?

Alex: Yes?

Tim: .........You're working with the Chain Gang.......aren't you?

Alex: .................

Tim: Answer me!!!

Alex: ............Yes, I am.

Tim: ..............So, our friendship is and was for nothing?

Alex: That's not true!!!

Tim: Then explain Alex!!!

Alex: ........Okay. Yes, I am part of the Chain Gang and I am #7, with the fake leader being #8. The real leader is hidden somewhere her in Japan. None of us know where, so we don't look for him. My orders from the fake leader were to find you and lead you to him, along the way fighting members of the Chain Gang.

Tim: But.......if you're with them, then why did you fight Kaenyo?

Alex: I've had it up to hear and listen to them, especially after I got orders to do this, then I saw Misao all sad.........then I met you.

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

Alex: I've decided to team up with you and put a stop to my father.

Tim: Your........father?!

Alex: Yes......the real leader of the Chain Gang is my father.

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

Alex: ..............

Tim: Alex........

Alex: Yes?

Tim: Aren't you scared?

Alex: Why?

Tim: Aren't you afraid that........you might be killed because of your betrayal?

Alex: ..........No, I'm not afraid anymore. With me by your side, we'll put a stop to my father.......once and for all.

Tim: ............(smiles) You have a lot of courage, that you do.

Alex: Thanks, I'm honored.

Tim: ........So, when do you want to leave?

Alex: Does 3 days sound alright to you?

Tim: Yes.........that sounds good.
