This story is rated 17+ for swearing and violence.

(None of this is true.)

A Manslayer Story-A Tale of Love and Hate (Season 1)

(This story is based on an anime called "Rurouni Kenshin" and a boy named Tim Ouellette star in it. This story will take place in 2 worlds. Our world and the Kenshin world. In our world, it's Jan 2004, and in the Kenshin world, Tokyo,Japan 1878. Our story starts out in my bedroom where I live in a house located in Michigan in a nice patch of woods. I live with my mom and dad and well, how about I just tell it. My dad is a drunk and well, he get's angry about some things and likes to take it out on me. I especially hate when he's like this when my mom's not home because my dad beats on me and tells me if I tell mom about any of what goes on, he might kill me. Well, it all starts in my room.)

Act 1:Introduction
Chapter 1:Arrival

(Tim's bedroom)

Dad:You little brat! Apologize right now!

Tim:For what? I didn't do anything.

Dad:You know damn well what you did, so apoligize, NOW!!!!!

Timad, please stop it!!!

(Dad slaps Tim hard on the face and Tim goes flying onto his bed. Tim starts crying.)

Dad: Hmmph.....You little brat! You're grounded!

(Dad leaves the room.)

Tim:Why does he do this? Why does he have to drink?

(After a few minutes, Tim decided to watch something. He popped in an anime called "Rurouni Kenshin" and lay on his bed watching it. Everytime he watches this, he always wishes to be there and away from the horrors of his world, which are his dad, bullying, school, and well, everything you could think of. He started crying again, until out of nowhere, a t-storm blew in.

Tim:What the.....A t-storm during the winter. Unusual.

(He chose to ignore it and kept on watching Kenshin, until all of a sudden, lightning struck the satellite and scared the bejebbies out of Tim. Tim calmed down until he saw his TV was being affected. He was freaking out until all of a sudden, "WAS BEING ZAPPED INTO IT!!!!!!" After that, it was all black.

(Tokyo, Japan 1870)

(It's raining out. We are shown a guy with a sword wearing a purple and white kimono and facing 4 guys with swords. It looks like a fight is about to break out, but it doesn't seem like much because all you see in a split second is the lone guy in one place and then on the other side of the 4 guys. Then, the 4 guys fall to the ground WITHOUT NO BLOOD IN SIGHT. That's right!!!!! This guy is carrying a reverse-blade sword, which you should know when used, can't slay or kill anyone and has god-like speed during battle. Later, you'll find out why this is. The guy puts his sword in his sheath and starts walking home until in a side alley, a flash of light is seen.)

????: ORO?!?!?!(You'll find out why he says this.)

(The guy goes to investigate and is ready for anything. He didn't know if it was a gang of fighters or not so he had his sword at the ready. When he turned the corner, all he saw was a boy in Japanese clothing lying on the ground. He goes to see who it was.)

????: Hey kid, are you alright?

Tim: Ohhhhhhh.......

????: Were you beat up?

Tim: Ohhhhhhh.....Yes.....

????: Well, could I ask what happened?

Tim: Well.....(Tim looks up and sees who he was talking too. All of a sudden, he freaks out.)You're.....You're.....

????: What?

Tim:You're.....K...K...

????: Are you trying to say I'm Kenshin the battousai?

Tim: Why.....yes.

Kenshin: Hmmmm.....You must've heard the rumors about me that how I worked for the government and slayed other people for the good of this country, then somehow, somewhere, I disappeared and has never been heard from anyone again?

Tim: Why....Yes, I have, in ways.

Kenshin: Well, you don't have to be afraid, because something has taught me that that job didn't work out for me. So, I decided to get a type of sword that doesn't kill so as to atone for the sins I've commited and protect people with it.

Tim: Well....That's nice.

Kenshin: Yeah. Anyhow, what happened to you?

Tim: Well.....Like you said.....I..was beat up and I fell unconcious.

Kenshin:Then, what was that flash of light?

Tim: It was a bomb.

Kenshin: Oh, okay.

(They look at each other for a minute.)

Kenshin:Anyhow, do you have a home?

Tim:.....Well, no.

Kenshin: No relatives. Just a homeless kid.

Tim: Yeah.

Kenshin: Well, how about you come with me? I have a nice home with lots of great friends. You'd like them.

Tim:That sounds great.

(Kenshin helps Tim off the ground and in the rain, start walking towards Kenshin's home.)

Next time: Tim meets Kenshin's friends and tells a story. Also, a mysterious visitor decides to crash the party.

Okay, on to Chapter 2!

Last time: We were introduced to Tim Ouellette who has been being abused by his dad. After this happened one night, he watched "Rurouni Kenshin" and was suddenly surprised when a t-storm came in during the winter. Lightning struck the satellite and channeled through too Tim's TV and zapped him into it. After that, Tim found himself in the Kenshin world, and then met Kenshin himself!!! The thing was he didn't want to look suspicious and know all about him, so he came up with a story. After intros between each other, Kenshin suggested that Tim come with him to where he lives.

Act I:Introduction
Chapter 2tory

Kenshino, what happened to your parents?

Tim:They died, trying to protect me from a gang of swordsmen. After that, I managed to escape.(Remember, Tim is making this up, but he'll tell the truth soon enough.)

Kenshin:Gee, it must've been sad seeing them being killed in front of you.

Tim:Yes, it was very sad.

Kenshin:Well, I am sorry for your loss.

Tim:That's alright.(He lowers his head.)

Kenshin:Is there something wrong?

Tim:No......It's nothing.

Kenshin:Good!Well anyhow, we're here.

(They have shown up at what is a dojo. The nameplate by the front doors is labeled "Kamiya School."

Kenshin:Well, how about we go inside?

Tim:Well, okay.

(They go inside and are greeted by 7 people.)

????:Hey Kenshin, welcome home.

Kenshin:Hi, Miss Kaoru.

(Kaoru Kamiya is about 27 years old who always wears a kimono and is the owner of the dojo and is the assisstant master of the Kamiya Kasshin style, a sword style used to protect people. This style involves mostly wooden swords. Her father used to be the master, but has died 10-20 years ago. She only has 1 student because of reasons in the past. She and Kenshin are kind of a couple, but aren't married yet.
Side note:Kenshin's sword style is called the Hiten Mitzirugi.(more on this later.)

????:What's up, Kenshin?

Kenshin:Hi, Yahiko.

(Yahiko Myojin is a self-centered boy who is about 10 years old. He is helpful around the house(sometimes)and is sometimes irrogant. He is the only student being taught the Kamiya Kasshin style. Overall, he's a nice boy.)

????:How's it hanging, Kenshin?

Kenshin:Hey Sanosuke.

(Sanosuke Sagara is a freeloader mostly and is about 28 years old. He never pays his bills at a restaurant in Tokyo called the Akabeko, he picks fights a lot, and wanders around the dojo doing nothing mostly. He used to be a fighter-for-hire until having a fight with Kenshin who he was hired to do so by someone you'll meet later. He lsot then decided to quit the fighting business for reasons between them. Also, he used to be part of a false imperial army in the past and regrets talking about them because of seeing his captain be shot to death, but he's getting over it. His last name is Sagara, which was his captains last name. His nickname is Sano.)

????:Welcome back, Sir Ken.

Kenshin:Thanks, Megumi.

(Megumi Takani is a doctor who's about 27 years old and helps out at a clinic with a doctor who's friends with Kenshin and the others in downtown Tokyo. She has had a hard past because of a war in a city called Edo where she has lost a lot of loved ones. She was the only survivor. She has tried killing herself many times before. Another thing is she was forced to make opium by a crude man in charge of a bunch of warriors and a group called the Oniwaban Group. More info later.)

????:Hello there, Kenshin.

Kenshin:Hi Doctor Gensai.

(Doctor Gensai is about 65 years old and is in charge of the clinic in Tokyo and is helped by Megumi with patients.)

????: (Two little girls)Hi Uncle Ken!!!!!

Kenshin:Hi there Ayame and Suzume.

(Ayame and Suzume are 2 little 8 and 6 year old girls. Ayame is 8 and Suzume is 6. They are Doctor Gensai's granddaughters.)

Kaoru:Well Kenshin, how did it go?

Kenshin:It went quite well, that it did.

Kaoru:That's good to hear.(She looks at Tim.)Ummm....Who's this?

Kenshin: Oh, sorry. This is Tim Ouellette. I found him after a sword fight in a side alley. He said he was beat up.

Kaoru:Is this true?

Tim:Well, yeah.

Kaoru: Oh, that's terrible.

Kenshin:Anyhow, he says he's homeless, so I decided too bring him here to live with us.

Kaoru: Oh, well that's alright. How does everyone else think?

Allure!!!

Kaoru: OK then, it's settled.

Tim:Thank you!

Kaoru:You're very welcome.

Kenshin:Miss Kaoru, is dinner ready yet?

Kaoru:Why, yes it is, we were waiting for you.

Kenshin: Oh, okay.

Kaoru:Hey Tim, wanna eat with us?

Timure!

(They all go over to a table and kneel on their legs, except Sano and Yahiko. They sometimes consider sitting down and crossing their legs in front of them. These are traditional Japanese ways of sitting.)

Kaoru:Here you go!

(What is given to eat is beef stew.)

Tim:Mmmmmm.....looks good.

Kaoru:Well, go ahead, dig in.

Tim:Thank you.

(Tim starts eating and stops for a moment after the first bite. He still can't believe that he's among people that are cartoon characters and that what he's eating is.....REAL!!!!!)

Kenshin:Hey Tim, is there something wrong?

Tim:Why no, there isn't.(He starts eating again.)

Kaoru:Anyhow Tim, I was wondering if I could hear a little about yourself, if that's alright with you.

Tim:Well.....

Kenshin:It's alright if you don't want to tell us.

Tim:Well.....I guess I will.

(Everyone starts to listen to Tim.)

Tim:Well......to put it bluntly.....

Kaoru:Yes?

Tim:I'm.....

Kenshin:What is it?

Tim:......

Sanoay it already!

Tim:I'm....not part....of this.....world.

All:WHAT?!?!?!

Tim:Well, I'm from America and well, I'm not really sure how I got here.

Kenshin:What's so strange about that?

Tim:I remember sitting in front of my TV until.....

Yahiko:What's a.....TV?

Tim:Huh?Oh yeah, this is 1878, right?

Kenshin:Why yes it is, and what do you mean by that statement?

Tim:From where I am, it is 2004.

All:WHAT?!?!?!?

Tim:What I'm trying to say is.....

Sano:Wait a second. Tell me what the hell is going on. This is getting very suspicious.

Tim:Alright. My name is, of course, Tim Ouellette, I'm from America of the year 2004 and I've known you even before I got here.

Kenshin:How is that?

Tim:It's like I said before, TV.

Sano:We still don't know what the hell it is.

Tim:A TV is mostly a type of metal box with a lot of mechanical things in it and it shows pictures and moving objects. A TV is something that hasn't been invented yet and will come along in about 60-70 years.

Kaoru:Well, that's hard to believe.

Tim:And also, like I said, I know all of you because in my time, and or world, you are what we call a cartoon and we watch you do things like fighting and all that. For example, I remember an episode when Kenshin found an engagement ring in a catfish, right?

(Kenshin is pale in the face right now.)

Kenshin:How did you know that?

Tim:Like I said, TV.

Kaoru:Man, this is truely hard to believe.

Tim:I know. I still don't even know how I really got here.

All:Hmmmm......

(All of a sudden, the dojo doors burst open and a guy with a beard holding a sword stands in the opening.)

Kenshin and Kaoru:Gohei Hiruma!!!

Gohei:Ha ha ha! How's it hanging?

(Gohei Hiruma is a good swordsman who's about 42 years old, who in the past, has caused trouble to Kenshin and the others. Gohei used to attend at the Kamiya dojo when Kaoru's father was alive until he was expelled because he was using the sword style to kill. For another punishment, both of his hands were wounded enough so he could never hold a sword again. Another one of these times was when fighting with Kenshin. He decided to later get revenge on Kaoru's father by killing her, but Kenshin didn't allow it. 2 times after that, he has tried to have Kenshin killed. The first time was hiring Sano and the second time was hiring 2 other assassins and having Yahiko being tricked into bringing Kenshin's sword to him, but has failed at ALL attempts. Now, he comes back and SOMEHOW can hold a sword again.)

Kenshin:Gohei! What's the meaning of this?

Gohei:Pipe down! I'm not here for you, I'm here for the little battousai!

Kenshin:What do you mean?!

Gohei:I'm talking about HIM!!(He points at Tim.)

Tim:WHAT?! ME?!

Kaoru:Why him?!

Gohei: Because I can sense a strong swordsman aura coming off of him, so I've come here to fight him.

Tim:But, I've never even held a sword!

Gohei:LIAR!!! Pick up a sword NOW!!!

Kenshin:Gohei! You heard him, now get the hell out!

Goheihut up! If you don't pick up a sword now, you will die where you sit!

Tim:NO!!!!!

Gohei: DO IT!!!!!

(With anger, Tim asks for a wooden sword and get's ready for battle, not knowing what he's getting himself into.)

Next time: GOHEI VS. TIM!!!!!

You wouldn't want to miss this! Something is about to happen and it will change Tim's life forever! This will conclude Act I as Chapter 3 will be titled Journey.

^.^ hey buddy! see u got ur story up over here to!

I forgot to say something earlier about Kenshin. He has a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek that he got during the revolution, when he was an assassin.

Well, this is it! The match between Gohei and Tim begins today! It's also the end of Act I.

Last time: As Tim meets Kenshin, they become and go to where Kenshin lives. Tim is introduced to everyone and has something to eat with them. During this time, Tim tells the whole truth about him and everyone is shocked. Afterwards, a guy named Gohei Hiruma has to come fight Tim. But why?! The reason is because he knows he's a good fighter but Tim says he isn't. Gohei get's to yelling and provokes Tim to fight, but with a wooden sword?! Well, this is it. The fight is about to begin!

Act I: Introduction
Chapter 3: Journey

Tim:Gohei! What do you want with me?!

Gohei:Heh! Like I said, to do battle with you!

Tim:I said, I haven't held a sword before!

Gohei: Shut up! Now, let's fight!

Tim:Fine!!

Kaoru:Tim, be careful!

(Tim and Gohei charge at each other.)

Gohei:Get ready to taste my blade!

(Gohei swings his sword at Tim and misses by an inch. When Tim has a chance, he swings his wooden sword at Gohei but misses too.)

Tim: Damn!!

Gohei:I'm not being fooled by your act. I know you're faster than this!! Now, come on!!!

Tim: SHUT UP!!!

(Tim swings again, but to no prevail, misses again, then when Gohei has his chance, swings his and cut's Tim's sword in half.)

Tim:NO!!!

Gohei:Ha ha ha!

Kenshin:Tim!!

Gohei: You have no more weapons! Now, you're dead!!

Tim:Uggh...

Sano:This isn't good!!

(Tim stands where he is and thinks about what to do, until...)

Tim:Kenshin, throw your sword here!!

Kenshin:What?!

Tim:NOW!!!

(Kenshin throws his sword to Tim and he struggles to catch it. When he holds it, he get's accustomed to the weight, until a big flash of light surrounds Tim.)

Gohei:What the...?!

All:Tim!!

(After a few seconds, the light has faded and we are shown Tim again, standing there holding the sword.)

Kenshin:Tim, are you alright?!

Tim:Well....yeah!

Gohei:I don't know what the hell that was, but now that you have a weapon, we can get on with the fight.

Tim:Fine with me!!

(They both get into fighting stances to start off round 2.)

Gohei:I'm ready when you are!!

(Tim has an angry face on him and takes the sword out of the sheathe then throws it to the ground!)

Tim:Here we go!!

(All of a sudden, like before with Kenshin, we see Tim on the other side of Gohei and Gohei just standing there. His eyes are in back of his head with a shocked look on his face, then he falls to the ground.)

All:HUH?!!?

Tim:--(stunned)What......did I....just do?!

Kenshin:This is UNREAL!!!

Kaoru:He said he's never held a sword beforem until he uses yours and it's like his hidden powers are revealed!

Sano:That's gotta be it!!

Yahiko:I mean....he said he never held a sword before!

Megumi:This is all too weird!

Gensai:I agree!

Tim:Is....this for real?!

Kenshin:Tim, I agree my sword has revealed your hidden powers.

Tim:Probably! But still....

Kaoru:What is it, Tim?

Tim:Is this the reason....why I'm here?

Goheigetting up)Uggh....

Tim:What?!

Gohei:Heh heh!! So THAT'S the power I've been waiting for! So now that I know who you are, let me tell you something in 2 words. Makoto Shishio!!!

All:WHAT?!

Kenshin:I thought he was killed! I know it, I ws there!!

Gohei:Nope, he's alive and well, thanks to little battousai!

Tim:Hold on! My name is Tim Ouellette and I wouldn't consider myself a battousai. Anyhow, what do you mean by, "thanks to me?!"

Gohei: Somehow, he came back to life with all his followers of the Juppogatana with him when you showed up here in Tokyo!!

Tim:WHAT?! I'm the reason for his resurrection?!

Gohei:Looks that way, doens't it? Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Sano: Shut UP!!!(Sano charges him and punches him square in the stomach. Gohei lets out a large wail, then falls to the gorund!)That shut him up!

(Everyone is now silent.)

Kenshin: Shishio....How can it be?!

(For those of you who want to know, Makoto Shishio was/is a madman who is about in his early to mid 40's. In the past, he was just like Kenshin, a battousai and/or manslayer, but was considered the successor of Kenshin. One day, the government thought he was going to far and decided to put a stop to his evil plans. They drenched his body with oil, then set him on fire. Theyb watched him burn too see him die, but somehow he survived the flames. After that, he became a demon of revenge and gathered together a group of warriors that he called the Juppogatana and spread his evil. Just recently, Kenshin and the others got back from Kyoto with a long hard battle with Shishio. Kenshin, during thr fight, almost died, but thanks to friends he's met and the skills he's learned, hr overcame defeatm but the thing is, Kenshin didn't actually kill him. It was due to the environment thet were fighting in and Shishio's condition fro the burns he got from the fire incident. The ebvironment was kind of like a boiler room, but was outside, where smokestacks were sticking out and spitting out fire, and because of fighting too hard and the hot environment, Shishio combusted. But, like Gohei said, due to Tim, he's alive again! But, how?! He also said the whole Jupogattnaa. It is quite a mystery.)

Tim:But....Is this why I'm here?! To fight Shishio?!

Kenshin:I don't know Tim, but maybe.

(Tim sit's down for a moment.)

Tim: So, will I leave this place, after I beat him?

Kenshin:Maybe.

Tim:But I don't want to! I don't want to go back to my dad. He's so cruel!

Kenshin: So, you DO have a family?

Tim:Well, yes I do. I said I didn't before because I wasn't telling the truth before.

Kenshin:Oh, I see.

Yahiko: So Tim, what are you gonna do?

Tim:I...don't know.

Kenshin:Well, if you think the reason you're here is too fight Shishio, then well, maybe you will have too.

Tim:I didn't expect ANY of this.

Kenshin:I don't know what to tell you.

(Silence)

Kenshin: So, what's it going to be?

Tim:.........

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

Tim:I guess......I'll have to go,

Kenshin:Well, it's your choice Tim. It's up too you.

Tim:Yeah.

(After this, they went to bed and thought over all that happened, especially Tim, who is going to be expecting a long, hard journey that Kenshin jas once taken.)

Next time:Tim says goodbye to his friends and takes his leave. He also stops at places to buy supplies, which is including....WHAT?! A japanese sword?! Find out why next time as Tim's journey begins next time as Act II begins with Chapter 1:Embark.

Act II will premiere tonight a little after midnight.

Last time: The Introduction Saga started off with Tim being somehow transferred into the Kenshin world. He then met Kenshin and then was introduced to his friends, or we should say had a little, "I know who you are" talk. Yes, Tim told the truth of who he was and everyone was shocked. Afterwards, a guy named Gohei Hiruma attacked the dojo and battled with Tim. Things weren't looking good for Tim till he was given Kenshin's reverse-blade sword and his hidden powers were unleashed. He defeated him then was given information on Makoto Shishio, a great warrior that seemed to have come back from the dead when Tim showed up. Tim thought of this as being the reason why he's here, so as going to bed, Tim thought of his long, hard journey coming up.

The long hard journey begins today!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 1:Embark

(As everyone got up on the morning of September 10th, 1878, everyone was all quiet and thinknig over all that has happened overnight and thinknig of how Tim will do on his long and perilious journey ahead against Makoto Shishio.)

(At breakfast time)

All:........

Yahiko:Hey.....Um, Tim?

Tim:Yes?

Yahiko:How is it where you live?

Tim:Well, it's kind of hard to explain. I'll tell you when I get back, or IF I get back.

Yahiko: Oh.....

All:.......

Tim:Anyhow, I seem to know what to expect, after watching Kenshin fight him. I'm quite positive we won't fight in the same area you did Kenshin.

Kenshin:Probably not, because he probably knows what'll happen, just like last time.

Tim:Yeah, I agree.

Sano:Hey, Tim?

Tim:Yes?

Sano:How about I come with you? You might need help.

Tim:Thanks, but I think this journey is only meant for me.

Sano: Don't be an idiot! You might underestimate your own strength and DIE!!! We don't want that!

Tim: Oh yeah, well, how the hell do you think I reacted when I found out I have to do this?! Huh?! If this is my reason of being here, then so be it!! I'll die an honorable warrior if possible, so SHUT UP!!!

All:.......

Tim:I'm sorry....I'm just scared...(He starts crying)

Kaoru: (holding Tim)There, there Tim. We were also surprised by what happened.

(Tim continues to cry)

All:.....

Kenshin:Tim?

Tim: (sniffling)Yes?

Kenshin:I was wondering how you thought of this?

Tim:Well, if you(sniff)think about it.....destiny.

Kenshin: Destiny?!

Tim:Maybe that's it?

Kenshin:Maybe...but still....

Tim:What?

Kenshin:Why would your destiny be here?

Tim:You know, (sniff)that does sound weird.

Kenshin:Wouldn't something in your time and.or world make more sense?

Tim:You're right.

(Suddenly, there's thunder, and it starts pouring.)

Sano: Ohhh, boy.

Kaoru:Come on, everyone! Let's get inside.

Tim:......No.

Kaoru:What....but Tim?!

Tim:I'm going to leave now, and get back as soon as I can. This rain will only delay me and give Shishio an advantage at what he's planning. So, I guess I'll take my leave. Goodbye.

Kaoru:Wait Tim, don't you need some money?

Tim: Oh, yeah. Heh heh.

Kaoru:How much do you think you need?

Tim:Probably about 10,000 yen.

Kaoru:10,000?! What are you going to do with all that?!

Tim:Buy a sword of course.

All:What?! Why?!

Kenshin:Tim, you can just use my reverse-blade sword. I won't be using it while you're gone probably.

Tim:.......That won't be necessary.

Kenshin:Why?!

Tim:I have a feeling I'll have to do more that you had to do, so I've decided to get a japanese sword.

Kenshin:No!!

Kaoru:Tim, please don't kill!!

Tim:I have no choice!!

All:.......

Kaoru:Well, if you want the money, go to the bank and ask for 10,000 zenny out of Kaoru Kamiya's account,

Tim: Okay. Thanks......Kaoru.

Kaoru:You're welcome.

Tim: Well.....Goodbye everyone. I hope....to see you again.

All:....Bye.

(With that done, they stand in the dojo as they watch Tim walk off toward Kyoto in the pouring rain.)



(When Tim arrived in town, he knew where to go. First, he went to the bank and took out 10,000 zenny like he requested from Kaoru, then he went to the closest sword shop and bought the best japanese sword there, for about 8,500 zenny. The shopkeeper was kind of creeped out by how Tim looked when he bought the sword, but was probably thinking that maybe this was a gift for someone and he was buying it for that person, but that was far off. This sword was for Tim, to slay and get rid of Makoto Shishio....forever.)

TO BE CONTINUED

Tim has now begun his long, hard journey against a man who seems to threaten Japan once more, and it's his job to stop him before it's too late.

chapter 2 chapter 2...IM HOME! XD *hugs computer*

Last time:Tim said bye to his friends and set off for Kyoto.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 2:Friend

(After leaving Tokyo and buying all his supplies, Tim started down his way down the only road to Kyoto. While walking, he stopped at a place where he overlooked a pond. He thought of how Kaoru felt when Kenshin left her the first time. He was surprised that he was standing in the very exact spot where Kenshin just hugged Kaoru and walked away. After that, Kaoru kneeled down and cried, then went home as sad as ever. She didn't eat for 2 days, till 2 women from the Akabeko, a restaurant in downtown Tokyo, helped out, along with Yahiko to get her on her feet and have her go to Kenshin in Kyoto. Sano also went too, but went alone because he made a promise with Kenshin when they met that they would fight together as friends.)

Tim:Boy, it must've been tough for all of them, to go through all of that.(sigh)Well, I guess I should get going.

(He walked on in the rain and wept. Then, when he found a big tree to sleep under, he stopped and took a rest.)

(Later that afternoon)

(As Tim was waking up, someone was standing next to him.)

????:Hello, hello?

Tim: Oh....

????:Who are you?

Tim: Oh...I'm Tim, And who....Huh?!

(After taking a good look at the person, he gasped. He knew who it was, but didn't want to give it away and look suspicious.)

????:Is something wrong?

Tim:Uhh....No.

????:Good. Anyhow, the name's Misao Makimachi! Please to meet you!

Tim:Hi.

(Misao Makimachi is a girl-ninja who's 16 years old. She's part of the Oniwaban Group and was made the leader after something that the ex-leader went through with Shishio and other things before. She can be a snob sometimes, but is still a nice girl.)

Misaoo, what're you doing here?

Tim:Well...I'm on a trip to Kyoto.

Misao:With a sword?

Tim:I use it for...protection.

Misao:Have you killed someone yet?

Tim:No.

Misao:Good. It's not nice to kill.

Tim:Yeah.....

Misao:Anyhow, if you're going to Kyoto, let me go with you. I live there and I was just on my way from visiting some friends.

Tim: Oh, okay.

(After that, they started off.)

Misaoo, how old are you? I was just wondering because you seem a little young to be fighitng with a sword.

Tim:I'm 16.

Misao:Heh, you're the same age as me.

Tim:Really?!

Misao:What a coincidence.

Tim:Yeah.

Misaoo, what business do you have in Kyoto?

(Tim thought for a moment to think of something in place of "to kill Makoto Shishio," then thought of a reason.)

Tim:Family.

Misao:Family, huh? Who are you related to? I know about everyone in Kyoto, so I'll probably know them.

(Now Tim was stuck. If Misao knew everyone in Kyoto, then he would have to tell her the truth. He couldn't help it, so he just came up with a Japanese name.)

Tim:The Tenchi family.

Misao:Tenchi, huh?

Tim:Yeah.(He's shaking with nervousness.)

Misao: Of course! Those people! They're nice, aren't they?

Tim: He breathes a sigh of relief.)They are.

Misao:Well, I'll walk you there then, if you don't know the way.

Tim:That's nice of you, but I'll walk by myself when we get to Kyoto.

Misao:Well, okay. Say, aren't you getting hungry?

Tim:Why, yes I am.

Misao:How about we stop for a snack?

Tim:That's fine.

(Misao opens up a bag and hands Tim a bread ring.)

Tim:This is...?!

Misao:What? It's just bread.

Tim: Oh....okay.

(Tim was shocked just now because he remembered Misao eating this in the show with a friend of her's.)

Misaoo, is it good?

Tim:Yes, thank you.

(After a quick break, they continue on.)

Misaoo, have you heard the rumors?

Tim:What?

Misao:Makoto Shishio is back, and mor epowerful than ever.

Tim: (sarcastilcally)Oh yeah, I hated that bastard.

Misao:But the thing I don't get is he came back from THE DEAD. Weird, isn't it?

Tim:Yeah.

Misao:And a strong swordsman is staying at the Kamiya Dojo, which they say, "isn't part of our world."

Tim:I haven't heard of that. But I know Kaoru Kamiya.

Misao: Oh, well then you haven't heard of the swordsman.

Tim:No, I haven't.

Misao:Well, they say that this man showed up somehow in Tokyo and met Kenshin Himura. He was taken to the Kamiya Dojo and he told everyone the truth of who he really is. He then heard the news from a strong swordsman who attacked the dojo that Shishio was back because of him. They say he and all of the Juppogatana came back for revenge from the dead, and all because of that guy showing up in Tokyo. Weird, huh?

Tim:Yeah.....

Misao:And he has left to kill Shishio. So odd.....

Tim:.....Yeah.

Misao: OKAY!! STOP IT!!

Timtop what?

Misao:You're him, aren't you?

Tim:Huh?!

Misao:You're the boy on a mission to kill Shishio, right?!

Tim:How did you know?!

Misao:I mean, come on, it's obvious you're like the only one I've met on this road so far!!

Tim:But...

Misao:I know you know who I am!!

Tim:Well.....

Misaoon't try to deny it!! Confess!!

Tim:........

Misao:Well?!

Tim:.........

Misao:Tim?

Tim:.....Alright. Yes, you're Misao Makimachi, you're grandpa's name is Okina, you're part of the Oniwaban Group, you're fond of Aoshi Shinomori, and.....

Misao:Okay......It seems you are the one.

Tim:Yes.

Misao:I just want to know....Do you really want to do this?

Timo I have a choice?

Misao:Well......

Tim:You wanna know what?! I was FORCED into this!! I never wanted something like this!! I was just in my room till poof, I ended up here, met some friends, then was sent on a mission to assassinate a madman. Do you think I wanted this?!

Misao:Well.....no.

Tim:Good, because I didn't!!

Misaocrying)I'm sorry. I made you mad. I'll remember not to bother you again.(She runs off.)

Tim:Wait!! I didn't mean too......I'm sorry.

(Tim is left alone, crying.)

THE NEXT DAY

Timto himself)I wonder what happened to Misao? I didn't mean to make her mad. I hope I see her again.(sighs)

(Suddenly, Misao appears.)

Tim:Oh, Misao?

Misao:Tim.....

Tim:Yes?

Misao:......I'm sorry.

Tim:You mean it?

Misao:Yes.

Tim:I'm sorry too.

Misao:Thanks!

(They look at each other.)

Tim:Is that all?

Misao:Well, no. I was just wondering, maybe, if I could join you and help you on your journey, if you want me too.

Tim:That'd be great!

Misao:I know we'll make a great team!

Tim:Yeah.

(And so, Misao and Tim continue on the journey, together.)

Next time:They show up at a village being conquered by Shishio.

hmm....:shifty eyes: do i smell a love interest? XD lol

It's a good thing Tim has someone to help him out, because he's going to need it.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 3:Village

(1 hour after joining each other)

Misao: Oh boy, I'm SO tired of walking.

Tim:I can't blame you, we've been walking for close to an hour.

Misao: Ohhhhhhhhhhh......

Tim:I guess we should take a break.

Misao:Good idea.

Tim and Misao: (sitting down under a tree) Ohhhhhhhh.....

Tim:Boy, am I beat.

Misao: Same here.

(Suddenly, someone approaches)

????: Oh good, I found someone!!

Tim:Huh? What's wrong?

????:My village is on fire!!

Misao and Tim:What?!

????:Please, come help us!!

Tim:Alright, lead the way!!

(They are lead to a good-sized village with houses on both sides and a road going through the middle. Other than that, it was a peaceful village. But not now, because it was on fire.)

Misao:How did this happen?!

????:We did something to anger Master Shisio!!

Misao and Tim: Shishio?!

????:Yes!!

Tim: Dammit Shishio!!

????: Do you know of him?

Tim:I'm trying to kill him!!

????:You are?!

Tim:Yes!!

????: Don't you know the danger that he can cause?!

Tim:Yes!!

????:Whoa, you must be strong!!

Tim: Somewhat.

????:You might be the one.

Tim:The.....one?

????:The mysterious visitor from Tokyo.

Tim:Why, yes I am.

????:What's your name?

Tim:Tim Ouellette from America. What's yours?

????:I'm Yoshi Aihara.

Tim:Nice to meet you. Anyhow, what can I do to help out here?

Yoshi:You can help out with the fire.

Tim: Okay. How about it Misao?

Misao:Alright then!!

(They set to work, along with other villagers to put the fire out. They have trouble until some poilcemen show up and help with the fire too, along with the chief.)

Chief:Excuse me, are you Mr. Tim Ouellette?

Tim:Yes I am.

Cheif:Hello, I am police cheif Miraki. I have been told by Mr.Himura I would have probably run into you. You are trying to kill Makoto Shishio, right?

Tim:I am.

Chief:Well, Kenshin Himura told me to give you this for when you're hurt.

(Chief Miraki hands Tim medicine.)

Tim:Thanks!! I'm going to need this.

(What Tim was given was ointment, a special medicine Megumi made for Kenshin before and was now in the hands of Tim.)

Misao:Well Tim, what now?

Tim:Now, we go and kick Shishio's ass!

Yoshi:Are you sure? You might get killed.

Tim:I've thought that this is probably the reason I'm here, so I can't run away.

Yoshi:How can this be the reason?! Whay can't it be just living a nice, peaceful life here.

Tim:I don't know. I thought of that myself. I thought "why couldn't I just have a normal life and make friends like I could in my world?" My life was as bad as this before I got here. In my world, I was being bullied in school, beat up on by my dad, and not making many friends till I got here, and the good thing was I know everyone I met already, which are Kenshin, Kaoru, Sanosuke, Yahiko, everyone, even Misao here. They were my "imaginary" friends in my world and the one's I looked up too. They made me feel good about myself and made me laugh. They were my friends.

Yoshi: Oh, that's sad.

Misao:Yeah.

Tim:That's alright. Somehow.....I like it here better, even when I'm forced to kill.

(Everyone's silent)

Tim:Well, now that the fire is out, I think it's time to go meet Shishio and settle the score forever.

Misao:Are you sure about that, Tim?

Tim:I've made up my mind.(silence)Alright, let's go!!

Misao:Right!!

Yoshi:Good luck to you!!

Miraki: Same here!!

Tim: Thanks you guys. We'll meet again....right?

Yoshi: Of course!!

Tim:Alright Misao, let's go!!

(And so, the battle heats up. Tim meets Shishio face-to-face, next time.)

dun dun dun! lol i love doing that

good story!

man i just red all of iot and i must say: bravo!

aint it!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate this. I've posted this at another website and I only got one fan. Now that I have 2 fans, that means 2 new chapters. Enjoy you guys.

Get ready for the meeting between the swordsmen of revenge!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 4:Meeting

(After saying bye to Yoshi and the Cheif, Tim and Misao set off to continue their journey and to meet Makoto Shishio. Most of the way, they don't talk because of the tension between them, until Misao breaks the silence.)

Misao:Tim, I was wondering?

Tim:What?

Misao:How do you think the battle will go?

Tim:After seeing Shishio fight Kenshin. I'd expect a hard fight.

Misao:Well, don't forget, I'm here with you.

Tim:You're a great friend.

Misao:Thanks.

(They look at each other, then quickly look away.)

Tim:Well anyhow, we should look out for surprise attacks. We never know when Shishio and his men will attack.

Misao:Yeah!

(All of a sudden, they hear laughter, in the woods around them.)

????:Ha, ha, ha!!!

Tim:Huh?! Who's there?!

????:You are so pathetic to try to challenge me!!

Tim:Wait! Are you....?!

????:Heh!! Yes....I am!

(Then someone jumps out of the woods.)

????:Makoto Shishio!!

Misao: Shishio!!

Tim:I should've known it was you!!

(Shishio is wrapped in bandages head to toe from the burning he received and wears a blue ribbon-like thing that's wrapped around him.)

Shishio:Well, you were right.

Tim:Ready to battle me already, because I am!!

Shishio:Hmmph.....It wouldn't be worth it. You need more experience before you have a chance to beat me.

Tim: Don't you DARE tell me what I need or don't need!! You hear me you stupid son of a *****!!

Misao:Tim....

Shishio: Ohhhh....Getting feisty, aren't we?!

Tim: Damn right I am! The reason I'm here is to kick your ass and that's what I want to do right now!!

Shishio: Do you want to die?

Tim:What?!

Shishio:I said, do you want to die?

Tim:Urr.......

Misao:Tim, please, you're not strong enough!!

Tim:Hmmph....Fine!! But I will get you! Count on it!!

Shishio:Well, until then, how about playing with my right-hand man, Sojiro Seta,

Tim:What?!

Shishio:You can come out now!!

(From the woods comes a boy, Seta Sojiro, who is 18 years old and wears traditional Japanese clothing. He was, in the show, a TOUGH opponent for Kenshin because of his god-like speed. This boy always seems to smile, even while in danger, based on his awful past. More info on this boy later.)

Sojiro:Hello.

Tim: Oh, I remember you. You're that boy with the sad past.

Sojiro:You seem to know about me, I see, but not for long.

Shishio:Well, have fun, you guys!! Hm hm hm!!

Tim: Shishio!!

(Shishio disappears into the wilderness.)

Sojiro:Now that he's gone, how about we get started, shall we?

Misao:Tim.....

Tim:I'm sorry, Misao. This is something I can't avoid. I must fight. This is...my destiny.

(And so it begins. Tim's first fight while on his journey. Will he go as far as to kill him? Tim didn't plan on fighting Sojiro. If he did, he COULD'VE brought Kenshin's reverse-blade sword, but he didn't. So, with a japanese sword, Tim will try not to kill him, but can he do it?)

Next time: Sojiro vs. Tim

Last time:Misao and Tim ran into Shishio and Sojiro. Shishio talked for a few minutes with Tim and then had Sojiro challenge Tim. The battle starts now!!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 5: Sojiro vs. Tim

(We start out with Sojiro and Tim in fighting stances and Misao watching from the side.)

(Silence for about 15 seconds, then....)

Sojiro: So, are you ready?

Tim:Well, I guess.

Sojiro:That's good to hear. Do you want to attack first, or do you want me too?

Tim:Well, how about you choose?

Sojiro:How about at the same time?

Tim:Well, okay.

Misao:Tim!!! Be careful!!!

Tim: Okay, I will!

Sojiro:Ready?

Tim:Ready!

Misao: (to herself)Tim...

(Then, there's a flash of light. Misao flinches from it then looks towards the battlefield, where Sojiro and Tim weren't standing anymore.)

Misao:Huh?! Where did they go?!

(2 miles away)

Tim: So, what's the deal?

Sojiro:I saw that girl ninja was watching, and I thought that this battle would get ugly.

Tim: Okay.....

Sojiro: So, ready to go?

Tim:Yes!

(Another moment of silence for about 20 seconds while Tim and Sojiro stare at each other, then they charge at each other. CLING CLANG!!! Their swords cross each other and their battle begins!!

(Back in Tokyo)

(We are shown everyone sitting outside and being as quiet as you can.)

Kenshin:I wonder how Tim is doing?

Kaoru:I'm sure he's fine. I mean, he has great power.

Kenshin:Yes, but it might be possible he could be killed by Shishio or anyone else. We don't know what kind of powers he has obtained, and Tim probably won't know it.

Sano:This is a bunch of bull!! How could he win?!

Kenshin:He'll just have to concentrate on his powers and others. If doing so, he'll be victorious. Anyhow, I have a feeling he's met Misao already. I know they'll make a great team.

Kaoru:Yes. She's a great fighter and friend.

Kenshin:Yes. Let's pray for both of their safety.

(Back to the fight)

(We see them going at god-like speed, with Sojiro of course going a little faster.)

Sojiro: So, what do you think of my speed?

Tim:It's alright.

CLING! CLANG!

Sojiro:Well, thanks!

Tim:You're welcome, I guess.

CLING! CLANG!

(They stop for a moment, out of breath.)

Tim:Whew! Tough fight!

Sojiro:Yes, it certainly is!

Tim:Ready for more?

Sojiro:As ready as can ever be!!

(They charge at each other again, but all of a sudden, Tim trips and loses his balance and Sojiro swings his sword down.)

TIM: OH NO!!

Sojiro:Looks like I'll be victorious!

(He swings his sword down and cuts Tim in the arm!)

Tim:AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

(Back to Misao)

Misao:That sounded like.....Tim?!

(Back to the fight)

(We are shown Tim on the ground hiding his arm and blood oozing out of the cut.)

Tim:Urrgh!! Ahhhh!! Ohhh!!

Sojiro:Well, looks like you were too confident of your own strength.

Tim:Uggh.....Dammit!!

Sojiro:I guess I'll see you later! Bye!!

(Sojiro wanders into the wilderness then Misao comes out from the other side of the woods, shocked.)

Misao:TIM!!!

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

(Tim passes out.)

Misao:Tim?! TTTTTTTIIIIIIMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

TO BE CONTINUED

:gaspyness: @.@ lol. i love doing that 2. very nice! blackouts are fun..not that ive had any experience with them..*shifty eyes*

Tim is now in a dangerous situation and is wounded. Will he be able to recover in time to kill Shishio? Find out in this sad chapter.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 6:Recover?

(We are shown blurriness and somewhat of a flashback. This is what is going on in Tim's head, but seems real to him.)

Tim: Ohhhhh....where.....am I?

????:Tim?

Tim:........

????:Tim?

Tim:Who.....who is that?

????:It's me.

Tim:Huh?

????:Come on honey, wake up.

Tim:Honey?.......Mom?

(Then, he wakes up, with Misao saying his name.)

Misao:Tim? Tim?!

Tim: Ohhhhh.....

Misao:Tim?!

Tim:Mom.......

Misao:Tim.....It's me, Misao.

Tim:Misao?!(He suddenly sits up in bed)OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Misao:Tim!! Please lay back down!!

Tim:Uggghh!!!!! Damn, it hurts!!!!!

Misao:Yes Tim, you barely lost your arm.

Tim: Owwwwwww.....Misao?

Misao:Yes?

Tim:Where.....am I?

Misao:You're at the village hospital.

Tim: Oh, is Yoshi here?

Yoshi:Yes, I'm here.(He comes next to Tim's bed.)

Tim:Hi...Yoshi.

Yoshi:Hey Tim.

Tim:How did I get here?

Misao: I carried you on my back.

Tim:You did?

Miaso:Yes.

(They look at each other.)

Tim:Well...thanks.

Misao: Oh, Tim.(She holds Tim's hands)I was worried about you.

Tim:Heh. There's no need.

Misao:No, Tim. There is. You're up against the most feared man in all of Japan. You're journeying to kill him, but along the way, had trouble with his right-hand man. What could there be to not be worried about?

Tim:Who knows?

Misao:Tim!! You almost got killed!!

Tim:I....know that. But.....

Misao:But what?

Tim:I can still fight,

Misao:Tim!! Don't be cracy!!

Yoshi: Please Tim, listen to her!!

Tim: Please! I had a similiar argument like this in Tokyo, and I wdon't want another one!!

Misao and Yoshi:......

Tim: (starts crying)Why?! Why must it be this way?!

Misao:Tim....(She hugs him.)I know how you feel.

Tim:Misao.....

Yoshi:Is there anything I can do to help?

Misao:That's alright. You can go now. Thanks for the company.

Yoshi:You're welcome. See you later.(He leaves.)

Misao:Tim? Could I ask a .....sort of personal question?

Tim: (sniffling)Yes?

Misao: Do you...like me?

Tim: Of course I do. You've been by my side since I've met you here. You're a great friend.

Misao:Heh. Thanks.

(Cheif Miraki comes in)

Cheif: Sir Tim! I heard that you were seriously injured! Are you alright?!

Tim:Yes, I am.

Chief:I'm glad you are. You nearly lost your arm from what I heard.

Tim:Yeah, I'm lucky to still have it.

Cheif:I'm glad you're alright. Anyhow, I got terrible news I have to tell you.

Tim:What?! What is it?!

Chief:We believe Shishio has killed at least 10 people and has wounded about 36 in a bombing done in a village 25 miles down.

Misao: Oh...how terrible!!

Tim: Dammit Shishio!!

Chief:When you fully recover, we suggest you head off again.

Misao:What are you, crazy, Tim almost died out there and you suggest he go out there again?!

Cheif: Please miss, we have no choice!!

Misao:Have Mr. Himura do it!!

Chief:We think that if Mr. Himura get's involved in this, he will be killed.

Misao: Dammit!!

Chief:I'm sorry miss, but we have no choice but to have Sir Tim do it.

Misao:......

Tim:Misao?

Misao:......Yes?

Tim:If I recover in time and continue on the journey, will you.....stay by my side?

Misao:.....Yes, of course.

Chief: Well, I am glad to hear you're still in this fight. I have faith in you. I'll take my leave.

(Miraki leaves)

Tim:Well Misao, when do you want to leave?

Misao:How about.....3 days?

Tim: Sounds good to me.

(Misao and Tim go to sleep.)

Next time: A surprise

You won't believe what will happen next time!!

AH HA! i knew there would be a love interest! im so good with these things. ^.^ your writing really gets better as it goes on.

Last time:Tim recovered while coming up with a plan with Misao and Chief Miraki to kill Shishio.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 7: Surprise

(3 days later)

Misao:Hey Tim, your arm healed pretty quickly!

Tim:Yeah, thanks to the village doctor.

Yoshi:I'm happy for you.

Tim:Thanks!!

Yoshi:Here, this is for you.

(Tim is handed a whole bag of food and medical supplies.)

Tim:Thanks, Yoshi!

Yoshi:You're welcome.

(They shake hands)

Tim:Take care.

Yoshi:You too.

(Misao and Tim leave while waving goodbye.)

Village folk: Goodbye! Bye! See ya! Good luck!

Misao and Tim: Bye! Thanks!

(They enter into the woods.)

Misao:Well, let's keep our guard up. We never know what will happen.

Tim:Yes.

Misao: So, what did the village pack for us?

Tim:Well, let's see, bandages, bread, fish.....

(There's a sudden sound in the brush)

Tim:Huh?! Who's there?!(He has his sword at the ready)

????:Heh heh heh!!! You're still alive, are you?!

Tim: (to himself)That voice....?!

(The person comes out)

Tim:You?!

Misao:Tim?! Who is it?!

Tim: He's the one who got me into all of this!!

Misao: He did?!

Tim:Yes! Gohei Hiruma!!

Gohei: So you have a woman now, huh?!

(Misao blushes)

Tim: Shut up, Gohei!!

Gohei:I mean, she's cute. I don't get why she would go for an ******* like you!! Ha ha ha!!!!!

Tim:You mother fu.......!!!!!

Gohei:I feel the anger Tim! Come on! GIVE ME A TRUE FIGHT!!

Tim:AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Misao:Tim, don't!!!

Tim: Shut up, Misao!!

Misao:Huh?! Tim?!

(Tim has this scary and wicked face. To Misao, it seems like Tim has lost all sense of himself.)

Misao:Tim!! Please, stop!!

Tim:Get back, *****!!

(Tim slaps Misao hard)

Misao:Tim?!?!

Gohei:I know that look!! It was the look Himura had when something pissed him off!!

Tim:That's right!! I'm pissed off at you!! VERY!!!! You are the one that got me into this freakin' mess and you made fun of Misao!! For that, I swear to cut your damn head off and BURN you alive!! I SWEAR IT!!

Gohei:HA HA !! Brave words from a brat!! You sure are confident of yourself!!

Tim:You're damn right I am!!

Gohei:Alright, enough with talking!! Let's fight!!

Tim: So be it!! I will kill you now!!

Misao:Tim.......

Gohei and Tim: (charging at each other)AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(They cross swords, go to the side, charge again, cross, then step back.)

Gohei: Seems like you've gotten stronger since our last encounter. So have I.

Tim:Yes, I can see that.

Gohei:Wanna know my secret?

Tim:.......

Gohei:Heh! Like I would tell you!!

Tim:If you won't tell me, then let's continue the fight!!

Gohei:Are you eager to die?!

Tim:What?!

Gohei:I said, are you eager to die?!

Tim:Why?! Are you?!

Gohei:Talking back are you?! I should shut your damn mouth up!!

Tim:COME ON!!!!!

(Gohei charges ar Tim and swngs down, but Tiim moves to the right. Gohei tries again by swinging to the side, but Tim ducks it and rolls to the side, getting up quickly, then charges at Gohei.)

Tim:Goodbye, Gohei!!

Gohei:AHHHHHH!!!!

Misao: (to herself)Tim's about to kill...for the first time. This is just like the time when Kenshin fought Kurogasa(episodes 6 and 7)and Kenshin almost killed him, even though Kenshin said he would never kill ever again. I heard he was the battousai during the fight and he didn't have fll control ove rhimself, but it was because of Kurogasa's technique, the Shino Wepo, which paralyzed Kaoru's lungs, and Kenshin was really angry. Kurogasa said that only his death could break the spell or Kaoru could do it but said that she didn't have a chance, but after remembering something that Kenshin told her, she cried and broke the spell. Maybe, I could do that too.

Tim:AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Misao: DOOOOOONNN'TTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

(Tim stops)

Misao:Tim!!! Please!!!

Tim:Mis...ao....

Misao: Please, don't kill!!!

Tim:Misao.....

Misao: Please, listen to me!!!

Tim:.......

Misao:......

Gohei:UNGUARDED!!!!!

Tim:WHAT?!

Misao:TIM!!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!

(Gohei swings his sword at Tim right across the chest)

Gohei:HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Misao:TTIMMMMMM!!!!!!

Tim:Uggh.....Dammit!!!!!

Gohei:You will be defeated TODAY!!!! (He raises his sword.) GOODBYE!!!!!

(He swings his sword down.)

Misao:TIM!!!!!

(CLING)

Gohei:WHAT?!

(What Tim has just done is use his sword to block the sword from above)

Tim:I have had ENOUGH of you!!!

Gohei:HUH?!

(Tim forced his sword up, jumps back, and then says

Tim:Get ready for my ultimate attack!!!

Gohei:Your what?!

Misao:Tim!!! Is he.....going to kill him?!

TO BE CONTINUED

New chapter tonight at 12:30AM. Only on KMC!!!

Dun DUn DUN!!! *again!* dude, whyd he slap her?

He did it because he lost all sense of himself. If you remember from the show, whenever Kenshin got mad, he turned into the battousai. It's the same for Tim, but it seems it's worse for him for reasons unknown. The bad news is I don't plan to reveal the REAL truth about Tim till the last season (which is like chapter 250-260 out of 300-350). Well, till then, I'll keep posting.

Oh yeah, I forgot another chapter last night because usually I talk with one of my friends via AIM and I usually update this at that time. Well, here it is. Enjoy!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 8:Anji-Part 1

(For 2 minutes, all 3 of them are just standing there saying nothing while a storm is coming in. Lightning is flashing every 10-20 seconds and Tim and Gohei are standing on the battlefield constantly staring at each other.)

Misao:Tim.....

Gohei:.......

Tim:........

(Lightning flashes brightly in the sky.)

Tim:Now, we finish this!!

Gohei:Yeah, with you and your ***** dead!!

Misao:AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Tim: SHUT UP!!!!!! You have threatened Misao long enough now it's time for you to go to hell!!!

Gohei:Fine then!! SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO!!!!!

(Tim jumps high into the air, with his sword held high)

Tim:Get ready to taste my Sword of Justice!!!

Gohei:What a stupid name!!

Tim:URRRAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes into Tim's sword, but doesn't seem to electrify him, then Tim prepares for the ultimate attack.)

Tim: DDDDDIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

(Tim swings his sword down, then diagonal both ways, then sideways forming waves of energy.)

Gohei:What.....the hell......is this?!

Tim:AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!(He yells then sends the waves of energy down to Gohei.)

Gohei:NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!11

(The waves of energy crash into Gohei, then a blinding light follows. Then.....)

Misao: Ohhhhh....what happe.......OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

(Misao see's that the waves of energy CUT GOHEI IN PIECES!!!! There is blood and guts everywhere!!!)

Misao: (shocked)O..hhhh...hh..my g..ooo.....ddddd!!!!!

(Tim falls to the ground in exhaustion)

Misao:Tim!!!

(She runs to him)

Misao:Tim?! Are you alright?! Tim?!

(He's still out)

Misao: Oh, Tim.....I'm sorry.

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


Right!! Now, on to the conclusion!!

(5 hours later)

(Tim is waking up)

Tim: Oohhhhhh....shit, it hurts!!!

Misao:Tim?! Tim, you're awake!!

Tim:Misao, what happened?!

Misao:You killed Gohei.....in a sick way.

Tim:What do you mean?

Misao:Look.....

(Misao points to the parts of Gohei)

Tim: OH MY GOD!!!!!

Misao:That's the aftereffect of your attack.

Tim:Uhhhh....what kind of man am I?!(starts crying)

Misao:Tim.....

Tim:Why must this be my destiny?!

Misao:Tim....If you don't think this is your destiny, then it isn't.

Tim:It isn't?

Misao:You've been forced to do this.

Tim:.....Forced?

Misao:Yes. How could your destiny be to kill people?

Tim:Uhhhh....

Misao:Maybe it's just to meet and stay with us?

Tim:Yes.....I thought that.

Misao: Or maybe, well, do you love someone in your time?

Tim: Well.....no, except my family. Why do you ask?

Misao: Do you....like me?

Tim:........

Misao:Well, do you?

Tim:Why, yes I do. I've liked you since I've seen you in my world.

Misao:Maybe, your destiny is too.....

????:Excuse me?

Misao and Tim:Huh?!

????: Sorry to intrude, but I heard you guy's talking. Is everything alright?

Misao:Yes, we're alright.

????: (looks at Tim)What do you mean?! This boy's hurt!!

Tim:I'm alright.

Misao:Anyhow, who are you?

????: Oh sorry. I'm Anji. Pleased to meet you.

(Anji is a monk who used to work for Shishio in the Juppogatana when Kenshin fought him, but even though Tim took over to kill him this time, he's not part of it anymore. He has seen the evil of Shishio and has quit to work for him.)

Tim:Anji?! Oh yeah, you used to work for Shishio in the Juppogatana right, or do you still?

Anji: No, I quit. How do you know me anyway?

Tim: You wouldn't believe what I'll tell you, but you'll have too. Here's my story.

(Tim tells his story to both Anji and Misao)

Anji: My, what an interesting, yet strange story. How do you feel about all this?

Tim: How do you think I feel?! I'm forced to kill!!

Anji:Yes, that is sad.

Misao:Tim, I never heard your story like that.

Tim:It's alright.

Anji:Also, what happened here that made you get hurt?

Tim:I had a sword fight with someone.

Anji:Who was it?

Tim:His name was Gohei Hiruma.....

Anji:Was?! Did you kill this Gohei?!

Tim:Yes.....I used this sword technique on him and.....

(Anji notices the body parts)

Anji:You did that?!

Tim:Yes.....I'm sorry. I was angry because he threatened me and Misao.

Anji: So, what you're trying to say is that your anger overcame you?

Tim:Yes.

Anji:Well, compared with what I heard in your story, I am sorry for all that's happened. I hope you find your destiny soon enough. Before I go, I'll take care of your wounds.

(After about 10 minutes)

Anji: Okay, I'll take my leave. I hope we meet again. Farewell.

Misao and Tim:Bye!!

(They watch him wander into the forest)

Tim:By the way Misao, what were you saying before?

Misao: Oh, nothing Tim. Nothing at all.

TO BE CONTINUED

lol ^.^ ahhh..no i remember. just seemed odd, since Kenny never slapped Kaoru *GA! did i spell that right!?*

Last time: Tim killed Gohei with a new sword technique called the Sword of Justice. The aftereffects was Gohei being cut into pieces. After 5 hours of Tim being knocked out, a monk named Anji offered help, then took his leave. Now, we will revolve around Kenshin and the others for now.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 9:Rescue Suzume!!!

(At the same time we left Tim and Misao in the forest, Kenshin and the others are heading to the Akabeko for some beef stew and didn't know of the trouble they were about to run into. While everyone is talking, Ayame and Suzume are playing with a ball.)

Ayame and Suzume:Beef stew!! Beef stew!! Ha ha ha!!

Gensai: OK girls, calm down.

(Kenshin is quiet until.....)

Kaoru:Kenshin? Is something wrong?

Kenshin:I'm just worried about Tim. I hope he's alright.

Kaoru:He probably is.

Megumi:Let's not worry much about it. We should believe in him.

Kaoru:Yes. He is a tough kid.

Sanohe's right.

Kenshin: (nods in agreement)

(After this conversation, we are shown Dr. Gensai, Ayame and Suzume a little ways back.)

Gensai:Come on guys, we should catch up.

Ayame and Suzume: Okay!!

(Ayame throws the ball a little too hard to Suzume and rolls past her. She goes to get it then all of a sudden, a gunman come's out of an alley and grabs her.)

Suzume:Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Kenshin: What was that?!

Kaoru:What happened?!

Gensai: OH NO!!! Where did Suzume go?!

Ayame: She was just here!!

Sanosuke:I'll go check it out!!

(Sanosuke runs back to where they heard the scream and turned into the alley. He kept going till he turned the corner and saw the gunman with the gun to Suzume's head. Suzume is crying.)

Gunman: HEH HEH!! You're just in time to see this little girl die! You know, I usually have people pay for watching people die, but I'll make this an exception.

Sanosuke:You bastard!! Why are you doing this?! She's just a little girl for Christ's sake!!

Gunman:I don't care who I kill!! I just do it!!

Sanosuke:I swear, if you shoot her, I'll kick your ass!!!

Gunman: Oh, we don't want that, do we, for which I mean you kicking my ass, right?! HA HA HA!!!

Sanosuke: Damn you!!

(Sano charges him, then suddenly stops)

Gunman:Uh uh uh!! You don't want her to die, do you?!

Sanosuke:Uugh....

Gunman:Then I suggest you stay where you are?! Is that clear?!

Suzume:WAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Gunmanhut up you!!

Sanosuke:URRGGGHHHH!!!

Gunman: So, what shall I do?

Sanosuke:......Huh?!

(All of a sudden, Sanosuke see's Kenshin farther down the alley without making it obvious to the gunman.)

Gunman: So, what SHALL I do?!

Sanosuke:....Hmmph!! Go ahead, shoot her!!

Gunman:Huh?!

Suzume:Uncle Sano!!

Sanosuke:Go ahead!! I DARE you!!

Gunman:This must be some kind of joke, isn't it?!

Sanosuke:It might be.

Gunman:URRGGHHH!!!!!

(At this time, Kenshin sneaks up on the gunman.)

Sanosuke: So, what are you going to do about it?!

Gunman: So, you don't care about this little girl's life, do you?!

Sanosuke:.......

Gunman:I'll give you till the count of 3 till she dies, okay?!

Suzume:AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Gunman:1......

Sanosuke:Hmmpphh.....

Kenshin: (to himself)OK!! Here I go!!

Gunman:2.......

Kenshin:Hiten Mitzirugi!!!!!

Gunman:HUH?! AHHHHH!!!!!

(Kenshin has jumped up into the air and is coming down with his sword at the ready.)

Kenshin: Sano!! Grab Suzume, quick!!

(He does just that, while the gunman is busy looking up at Kenshin.)

Gunman:What is this?!

Kenshin:AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!\

(Kenshin hits the gunman in the shoulder, close to the neck really hard and knocks him out.)

Kenshin:Hmmpphhh!!!! Good riddance!!

Suzume:Uncle Sano!!!

Sano:I'm sorry you had to go through that!!!

(Everyone shows up at the alley)

Gensai: Oh Suzume, I'm sorry.

Suzume:Grandpa.....

Kenshin:Well, I'm glad that's over,

Kaoru:Yes.

Kenshin:Now let's go get the police and then the Akabeko.

All: HURRAY!!!!!

(Back to Tim and Misao who have continued on)

Tim:Misao, I was thinking?

Misao:Yes?

Tim:About what you said before?

Misao:Yes?

Tim:I don't think this is my destiny.

Misao:It isn't. I know it.

Tim:You do?

Misao:Yes. From what I heard in your story, I don't think you're the type to kill.

Tim:That's what I said.

Misao:You said you didn't love anyone but your family, right?

Tim:Yes.

Misao:And you said you liked me?

Tim:Why....yes, I did.

Misao:Maybe your destiny is too.....marry me.

Tim:Huh?!

(Silence for 20 seconds)

Tim:M.....marry...you?!

Misao:Yes.

(Silence for 10 seconds)

Tim:That can't be it, can it? I'm too young to get married.

Misao:No, you're not. You have to be 15 to marry in 1878 Japan.

Tim:Really?

Misao:Yes

(Silence for 10 seconds)

Tim:Then......

Misao:........

Tim:Will you......

Misao:........

Tim:.....marry me?

Misao: (smiling).....Yes. Yes, I will.

(They hug each other, in the dying rain, with the sun on the horizon)

TO BE CONTINUED

Well, how is that for an ending to a chapter. I hope you're enjoying it so far......because it has only begun!!!

O.o...HA! THAT was unexpected! XP *starts cracking up, then stops for a few seconds* ...Craco..*starts cracking up again* XD

Craco? What the heck are you talking about?! LOL

DAMN, I can't resist!! I MUST show the rest of part 1 of season 1 to you guys!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH, HERE I GO!!!!!!

(We left off last time with Tim and Misao hugging each other after Tim asked for her to marry him, and she accepted. But, little do they know, of the horror yet to come.)

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 10: Death

(Tim and Misao are a few miles from the nearest village and are talking about their future together while eating food from the bag. But, that's all about to change because the danger is close!)

Misao:I never expected too marry someone so early in my life.

Tim:Yeah, me too.

Misao:Tim, I was wondering, how is it where you live?

Tim:Where should I start?

Misao:Anywhere.

Tim:Alright. First there is.......

(BOOM!!!!!)

Tim:Huh?!

Misao:What was that?!

Tim:It......sounded like a bomb!! Let's go see!!

(They run the few miles to the nearest village and are shocked by the scene they see.)

Misao: Oh my god!!!

Tim:This is.....terrible!!!

(The scene they see is horrific. It seemed like a huge bomb went off in the middle of the village and sent people flying, blowing off arms, legs, and for some of them, heads.)

Misao: Did......Shishio do this?!

Tim:UUUUUURRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

????:Excuse me?!

Tim:Who's that?!

Misao: (she points to the left)Over there, Tim!! It's a little girl!!

(They go over to her.)

Tim:Are you alright?!

????:Yeah, I'm fine, but what about my parents?

Misao:What do they look like?

????:They're both about your height, with my mom having brown hair and my dad with black hair and a sword.

Tim: OK!! Stay here!!

(Misao and Tim go look around the village for her parents and keep looking, till they see a sad sight. They see her parents dead, badly hurt, holding hands.)

Misao: Oh Tim, how are we going to tell that girl?

Tim:I.....don't know. We'll do our best.

(They return to the girl.)

????: So?!

Tim:......They're fine. They just can't move.

????:No, they're dead right?! RIGHT?!

Tim:........

????:Well?!

Tim:.....Yes....they are.

????:No!! No!! It can't be!! NO!! NOOOOO!!!!!!

(She starts crying)

Misao: (comforting her)There, there. I know how tough it is. You see, this boy here has been through as much as you have.

????:He has?

Misao:Yes, and he is fighting for his future.

Tim:......That's right.

????: Oh.(sniff)That's sad.

Tim:Yes, it is.

????:Alright!! I'll be strong like you!!

Tim:That's the spirit!!

(After a few minutes of calming down, they continue their discussion)

Tim:By the way, what's your name?

????:My name is Heather and I'm almost 7.

Misao: Do you know what exactly happened here?

Heather:I was playing outside the village while my parents were making dinner till I heard a bomb and I was almost killed. I would've if I was any closer.

Tim: Do you know who set it off?

Heather:This village is run by a bad man, Makoto Shishio, and I think someone broke his rules and the whole village was punished for it.

Tim:All because of a villager defying Shishio's laws?! What a bunch of bull!!

Heather:I know!! Shishio's laws are harsh, but now that our village is destroyed, they are no longer in affect! Oh, and also, is there anyone else alive?

Tim:I don't think so, Heather. I think you're the only survivor.

Heather:That means....my family, friends, neighbors?! They're all gone?!(cries)

Misao:It's alright. Don't worry.(Tim suddenly get's up)Tim? What is it?

Tim:We have company.

Misao:Huh?!

(A figure appears on the horizon then becomes clear.)

Misao:Who is it?!

Tim:.......It's Sojiro!!

Misao: Sojiro?!

Heather: Oh no!! Are you going to fight?!

Tim:If we do, then I'll have Misao get you out of here. This might get messy.

Misao: Are you sure about this?!

Tim:Yes. Just get ready to run.

Next time:Will Tim and Sojiro duke it out again?! Wait.....and see!!

TO BE CONTINUED

Last time: Tim and Misao showed up at a village that was destroyed by a bomb planted by Makoto Shishio. They looked around till they noticed the only survivior. It was a 6-year-old girl named Heather and she was hurt a little. After a little talk between the three of them, they noticed Sojiro coming towards them. Will Tim and Sojiro duke it out again?! Find out.....now!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 11:Message

Misao:Tim, what are you going to do?

Tim:I'm not sure! I'll see what he wants!

(Sojiro steps up too Tim)

Sojiro: So, we meet again.

Tim:What do you want, Sojiro?

Sojiro:I just came to give you a message from Master Shishio. He says that he thinks you're ready to fight him now.

Tim: So he thinks I'm ready NOW, huh?

Sojiro:He says he'll be waiting for you in the woods up ahead three miles. Enjoy!!(He leaves)

Tim: (to himself)Hhhmpph!!! Yeah right, enjoy my ass!!

Misao:Tim?

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

Misao:Tim, are you alright?

Tim:Misao.......I'm going to go fight him now.

Misao:By yourself?!

Tim:......Yes.

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

Tim: Please Misao, stay here!! Stay here and protect Heather!!

Misao:But Tim.....

Tim:Misao.....I have to do this.

(And with that said, Tim heads toward the battle of his life.)

Next time:The deathmatch begins!!!

Alright, the deathmatch between Tim and Shishio starts now!!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 12: Deathmatch

(A storm is brewing as Tim heads into the forest where the powerful Shishio awaits the challenge he will give him. Now, we shall begin!!)

(Tim is just entering the woods)

Tim:I wonder where he is? He should be around here somewhere.

(He keeps walking till he comes too a clearing with nothing but trees and brush)

Tim: Shishio?! I know you're here! Come out, NOW!!!

(Suddenly Shishio falls from the trees and get's his sword ready to try and chop Tim in two, but Tim jumps back)

Shishio: So, you showed up?

Tim:......Yes!!

Shishio:I've been watching you, and I think you are ready, even after you used that technique against Gohei Hiruma. That was pretty amazing.

Tim:I wasn't myself at that time. I was a madman. I was an assassin. I was......a battousai.

Shishio:Yes, that's what I saw in you in the very beginning!

Tim:Just how freaking long have you been watching me?!

Shishio:......All your life.

Tim: (shocked)What?! But how?!

Shishio:It's a secret.

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

Shishio: So, you're in a good hurry to die, huh?

Tim:No, I'm in a good hurry for YOU to die!!

Shishio:Heh heh heh! Ha ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! (this goes on for about 15 seconds.)Oh boy, you're a riot!

Tim:UUURRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! You are DEAD!!!(Tim charges at Shishio with sword raised)DDDDIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shishio:Bad move, kid!!!

(After Tim swings down, Shishio disappears.)

Tim:Where are you?!

Shishio:Over here.

Tim:Huh?!

(Shishio comes up from behind)

Tim: Dammit!!!!!

(Shishio swings down)

Tim: (uses his sword to block Shishio's)Heh! Nice try!

Shishio: (jumps back)Well, you've increased your strength a great amount. You blocked my attack like it was nothing.

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

Shishio:That was just a practice shot, but now, the true battle begins!

(They both get ready and facedown each other for a good minute)

Shishio:..........

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

Shishio:..........

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

Shishio:..........

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

Shishio:..........

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

(Suddenly)

Shishio and Tim:AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!

(They charge at each other with swords raised. What we see from now on then is them appearing everywhere while crossing swords. Then they stop, out of breath)

Tim: (to himself)Damn! He's much stronger than I thought he would be!!

Shishio:I was right about you. You have raised your strength quite a bit I should say.

Tim:Yep.

Shishio:But from what you've seen, I always seem to have the advantage later in the battle.

Tim:Yes, that is true, but it won't happen to me.

Shishio: Don't doubt my power little boy, or you WILL regret it.

Tim:Bring it on!!

Shishio:Hhhmph, you just signed your death wish.

(Shishio is at the ready for a powerful attack.)

Tim:What are you doing?!

Shishio:This is my newest technique I just learned and I think it has enough power to cut your head off.

Tim:Huh?!

Shishio:Here we go!!

(Shishio stands up straight, then extends his sword out. Tim is curious about what is about to happen.)

Shishio:Be prepared, little one!!!

Tim:........

Shishio:Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!(Shishio charges at Tim)

Tim: This is his technique?! Heh, piece of cake!!

(Tim dodges out of the way while Shishio tries to hit him, but suddenly, Shishio turns the other way towards Tim while his back is too him.)

Shishio: DIE!!!!!!

Tim:NO!!!!!!

(Tim suddenly tries to turn to the right, but is too late. Instead of his head being cut off, he is slashed across the back really hard.)

Tim:AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly, back at the village)

Misao: (to herself)Oh no, that was Tim!!

Heather:What's wrong?

Misao: Oh......nothing. Everythings alright. (Then to herself) ..........Tim.

(Back to the battle)

(Tim is lying on the ground, bleeding really badly, and screaming in agony.)

Tim:AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! URRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Shishio:You are SO pathetic! I was wrong about you! You AREN'T ready!!

Tim:Urrrgghhh!! Aaaahhh!!!!

Shishio:I'll just leave you here to die! So long, sucker!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

(He leaves)

Tim:Uuunnggh.......Misao, I'm......sorry. (He dies)

TO BE CONTINUED?!!?!?

Well, I hope it works!! Enjoy. It's not THE best sounding song. It sounds MUCH better on the game.

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 13: Sorrow

(The village)

Heather:Excuse me?

Misao:Yes?

Heather:I was wondering.....are you and that boy friends?

Misao:.....Yes, we're very good friends. We always stick by each other.

Heather:Then why did you let him go alone too where that boy told him to go?

Misao:........

Heather:Why?

Misao:......Well......It was.....just something he had to do by himself.

Heather:Oh.

Misao: (to herself)Oh, Tim. I hope nothing bad happened to you.

Heather:I got something else to say.

Misao:What is it?

Heather:I don't have any family or friends left and you are the only two I trust right now, so I was wondering if you could possibly be.....my parents?

Misao:Uhhh......

Heather: Please?

Misao:Heather, you don't seem to understand, but.......

Heather: Please!!!

Misao:Heather.........

Heather:I don't want to be alone.

Misao:.......I'll think about it, okay?

Heather:Thanks!!

(Misao smiles to see that Heather is happy again)

Heather: So what's your name?

Misao: Oh yeah, I haven't told you. It's Misao.

Heather:And what's that boy's name?

Misao:It's Tim.

Heather:He's nice, isn't he?

Misao:Yes......he is.

Heather:That's good. (pause) Anyhow, where is he? He hasn't come back yet.

Misao: Yeah, you're right. I'll go look for him. Here, have some food. Stay here, okay?(she takes some bread out of the bag)

Heather: Okay!

(Misao then starts heading for the forest, not knowing what is waiting for her there)

(10 minutes later in the forest)

Misao:Boy, I hope Tim is alright. I heard him scream, but it's strange. I don't hear them fighting.

(She walks another mile till.....)

Misao:Boy, it's so qui.......(She see's Tim's body, laying motionless, in a pool of blood)NO!!!!! TIM!!!!!!!!

(Misao goes over to Tim's body, inspecting it)

Misao:I should've know that bastard would get you in a sneaky way, and he did. Now, you're dead!! Freaking dead!!!!! Thanks to him, that.....(crying)Tim.....why?Why is it that you had to die? You were living a good life till that damn Gohei came!! I wonder how you would've been, if you haven't picked up a sword!! You would've lived a great life, but, to tell you the truth, you wouldn't have met me if you haven't started this journey. It's good you met me. I'm glad you did. We would've gotten married back at Tokyo, but now that you're dead......(crying)Why? Why?!

(Suddenly, we are shown Tim in what looks like a dream. A mere voice is calling out to him)

(Throughout this whole thing, Tim can't see nothing, but can only hear the voices)

????:Tim? Tim?

Tim: (laying on the ground)Uhhh.....

????:Tim? Can you hear me?

Tim:Uhhh.....who...is that?

????:It's mom.

Tim:M....mom?! It's really you?! Is this a dream?!

Mom:You can call this a dream, but it's real.

Tim: So, you know where I am? But how?

Mom:I don't know how to explain it, but I saw that you were missing then I had a dream of you in this place.

Tim:Are....you mad?

Mom:No, not really. I knew the troubles you were having here.

Tim: So, you know of dad?

Mom:Yes, and I'm sorry. I never knew.

Tim:Where is he now?

Mom:He's right here.

Tim:He.....is?!

Mom:Yes, and he has something to say.

Tim:........

(10 seconds later)

Dad:Hey son.

Tim:Hi.....dad.

Dad:Hey, don't sound so glum. I know what I've been doing....so I quit drinking.

Tim:You.....you did?!

Dad:Yes. I'm sorry for what I've done to you.

Tim:Thanks.

Dad:I also know, including your mom, of your situation right now.

Tim:.........

Dad:We know you have been killed right now, but you can't give up now, even when your wife is waiting for you.

Tim:My......wife?

Dad:Yes, she is by your side right now, crying her heart out for you.

Tim:I'm sorry. I am dead now. There's nothing else to do.

Dad:We can help you.

Tim:Huh?! What do you mean?!

Dad:We can bring you back to life.

Tim:You can, really?!

Dad:Yes, but only this once.

Tim:Thanks dad!!(crying)I'll never forget this, and bye to you too, mom.

Mom:Bye son. Enjoy being a husband.

Tim:Bye.

(Back to Misao, crying over Tim's body)

Misao: Oh Tim, I'm so sorry.

Tim: (weakly)Misao.......?

Misao: (sniff)Huh?

Tim:Misao?

Misao:Tim?! Tim, are you alright?!

Tim:I......love you.

Misao:Heh!!(crying)I love you too, Tim!! I love you too!!

(Misao hugs him)

Tim: (slowly sits up)I have to tell you.......something.

Misao:What?

Tim:I'm not going to die.

Misao:Huh?! But how?!

Tim:I just had a realistic dream with my mom and dad in it.

Misao:What happened in it?

(Tim tells his story)

Misao: So, you're not going to die?

Tim:No.

Misao:That's great, Tim!! But your wound.

Tim:It doesn't hurt anymore.

Misao:And also, you lost a lot of blood.

Tim: Somehow, after the dream, I've been revived.

Misao:This must be a miracle.

Tim:Yeah, probably.(He slowly get's up)

Misao:Tim?

Tim:I'm alright.(then to himself)Thanks mom and dad. I know you're looking over me during this time......of sorrow.

TO BE CONTINUED!!!!! End of Part 1 of season 1

Now that Tim is revived from Shishio's strong technique, he is now more angry than ever. But, little does Tim know of the battle coming up against a person as strong as Shishio. Stay tuned!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 14: Sojiro's Past

(Back in the village)

Heather:Hey, you're back.

Misao:Hi Heather, doing well?

Heather: After some food, I felt better.

Misao:That's good. (then to Tim) Tim, I decided maybe we could take care of her.

Tim:What?! Are you crazy?! She doesn't need to see more violence!!

Misao:But she has nowhere else to go.

Tim:I know that, but we can't have her see me you-know-what?!

Misao:Tim, please. I know it wouldn't be good for her too see you do what you've been doing, but something bad can happen to her if we just leave her here.

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

Misao: So, could we take her?

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

Heather: Please, Tim!!

Tim:Uuhhhh.......I'll think about it, okay? We'll take her for now.

Misao:Thanks, Tim!!

Heather:Thanks, Tim!!

Tim: (smiles)Alright! We should get going! Let's go!

(Tim, Misao, and Heather leave the village heading for Kyoto.)

(15 miles away from the village)

Tim:Misao, what else do we have left in the bag to eat?

Misao: Let's see, we have bread, corn, fish, and........

(There's a sound in the brush)

Heather:Aaah!! What's that?!

Tim:It better not be who I think it is!!

Misao:Tim.......is it....?

Tim:It might be Shishio again!!

Heather:AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Misao:Heather, it's alright!!

Tim:Who's there?! Show yourself!!

????: OK, I'm coming out!!

(Then.....)

Tim:It's you!!

Misao: Sojiro!!

Sojiro:Hi! Nice to meet you again!

Tim:Ummm......hi. What do you want?

Sojiro:I just......wanted to talk, but first.

(He heads towards Heather)

Tim:What are you doing?! Stay away from her!!

Heather:Hi!!

Sojiro:Hm hm hm!!

Tim:I mean it, Sojiro!! You better stay away from here!!

(Sojiro reaches into his pocket)

Misao:NO!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

(Sojiro suddenly pulls out a wooden duck)

Heather:Heh!!

Sojiro:Here, this is for you!

Heather:Thanks, mister!!

Sojiro:I like kids when they're happy.

Tim:HUH?!

Misao:Weird!

Sojiro:You're probably wondering why I just did that. Well, I'm nice to kids. I don't hurt any of them.

Tim:Well, that's nice of you.

Sojiro:Yeah.

(Silence for 10 seconds)

Sojiro:Anyhow, you're probably wondering why I'm here?

Tim:Why is that?

Sojiro:Remember, we still have a battle to fight.

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

Sojiro: So, shall we start?

Tim: Of course, but first......Misao, take Heather and head for Kyoto. I'll wait for you there.

Misao:But, Tim?

Tim: Please Misao!! I'll wait for you there!! I promise!!

Misao:Tim........

Tim:I won't allow myself to die again!

Misao:........Okay. I'll go, but please come back alive!!

Tim:Right!!

(Misao and Heather leave)

Sojiro:You have very nice friends.

Tim:Yes.....I do, and I intend on keeping them, no matter what.

Sojiro:Friends are nice.

Tim:Yes, they are.

Sojiro:But, you'll have to beat me to see them again, I'm sorry to say.

Tim:Are these orders from Shishio?

Sojiro:Why, yes they are.

Tim:Why do you listen to him?

Sojiro:Because he's my master.

Tim: Sojiro.....I know of your sad past, and I want to say you might've had a better life if you didn't join Shishio.

Sojiro:What do you know?!

Tim:Well, I know that your family used to abuse you and punish you for no reason. They also made you work all the time. Then, one day, you met Shishio, who was killing policemen, then he threatened you because he knew he saw you kill them, but because you were smiling, even when in danger, he thought you were a peculiar boy, so he spared your life. He then asked for shelter from the police and you did, but you got in trouble later because your family saw that they were running out of rice quickly, and they were thinknig that you were hiding someone or something from him. They then found out that you were hiding him from the police, then tried to kill you. You were lucky to have a sword Shishio gave you because when you hid under the house from your family then your brother came to get you, he tried to kill you, then you cut his head off. You then crawled out and killed the rest of your family. It was raining at the time and it made it look like you were crying, which Shishio asked, and you said no. No, because you didn't feel any sorrow of the death of your family because of what they did to you. Shishio saw something in you and decided to take you with him. And that's......your story.

Sojiro:You sure did pretty well. Excellent!!

Tim:Why, thank you.

Sojiro:But, I still have to fight you, because unless I don't Master Shishio will kill me.

Tim:Uhhh.......

Sojiro:Yes, that's the truth.

Tim:Boy.......I'm sorry.

Sojiro:Yes, so can we please get on with the fight, and fight honorably?

Tim: Of course.

(They get ready)

Sojiro:Good luck to the both of us.

Tim: Same here.

(They charge and get ready for the final bout between two sad swordsmen.)

Next time:Tim vs.Sojiro Round 2

heh, ducky. ^.^ :starts singing the rubber ducky song: XP
FIGGGHHHTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD yah!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 15: Sojiro vs. Tim:Round 2

(Misao and Heather are resting about 5 miles from where Tim and Sojiro are fighting.)

Heather:Misao? What's Tim doing?

Misao:He's......just playing with that boy. He'll be back in a while.

Heather: Okay!

Misao: (to herself)Tim, don't let what happened to you with Shishio happen again with Sojiro. You have to be careful.

(Back to the fight)

Sojiro and Tim:AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Just like in the last battle, they charge each other and cross swords. They're both going every which way avioiding each others attacks for about a minute or two till they stop, both breathless.)

Sojiro:You have......gotten better.

Tim: So have....you.

Sojiro:I don't see how you had trouble against Master Shishio. I'm as strong as him and you still had trouble. I'd say your battles haven't been going in the right direction.

Tim:I intend to get better.

Sojiro:You better, so you'd be prepared for anything.

Tim:I'll do just that.

(Another charge, without seeing no sight of them. Then they're on opposite sides from where they started.)

Sojiro:You sure have improved your speed. I'm impressed.

Tim:Thanks!!

Sojiro: Shall we try out our new techniques?

Tim:What do you mean?

Sojiro:This.

(Sojiro extends his sword out and stands there, seeming to collect energy for the attack.)

Tim:What are you going to do?!

Sojiro:You'll see.

(Energy is still collecting as Sojiro is standing there, laughing)

Tim: (to himself) Oh boy, I better be prepared!!

(Light starts showing up at the edge of Sojiro's sword)

Tim: (to himself)Shit!! This isn't good!!

Sojiro:This technique will be a "piercing" one. Heh heh heh!!!

Tim: Piercing?!

(Suddenly, the light from the edge of the sword turns into a knife-like shape and then is sent to Tim)

Sojiro:Enjoy!!

Tim: Damn!!

(Tim dodges to the left to avoid it)

Sojiro:You won't dodge these for long.

Tim:Uhhhh!!!!!!

(Another one. Tim dodges to the right)

Tim: (to himself)If this goes on, I might be killed.

(And so it does, for a good minute, Sojiro releases energy knife after energy knife as Tim dodges as best he can, going every which way. Then, he suddenly trips as one is coming his way then it scrapes his elbow.)

Tim: Damn!! Those hurt!!

Sojiro:You've lasted longer than I expected. Lucky it was just your elbow.

Tim:Uughh!!

Sojiro:Now, for your heart!!

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

(Sojiro releases another one)

Tim:I......don't think so!!!

(Tim swings his sword and cuts the energy knife in half)

Sojiro:Impressive!!

(Tim get's back on his feet)

Sojiro:My technique is getting old. I think we should move on to melee fighting.

Tim:Fighting with our hands, huh? Sounds interesting!!

(They both put their swords away in their sheathes and raise their fists)

Sojiro:We shall begin.......on your mark.

TO BE CONTINUED

Last time: Sojiro and Tim started their second round of fighting. They started by charging and avoiding each other sword attacks, till Sojiro decided to inleash a new technique. Sojiro collected energy to send to the edge of his sword to make energy knives that shot out towards Tim. For about 3 minutes, Tim avoided all of them till accidently tripping and getting scraped in the arm by one. Sojiro thought that his technique was getting old so he decided to have a melee fight:fist to fist. The battle continues!!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 16: Defeat

Sojiro:We shall begin......on your mark!!

Tim:Right!!

(Facedown for about 15 seconds)

Tim:Here I come!!

(Charges)

Tim:Take this!!

(Swings his fist at Sojiro, but misses)

Tim:Hold......still!!!

(Tries again, but misses)

Sojiro: Sorry to say, but you're too slow.

Tim:No......I'm.....not!!!

(Again and again and again)

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

(Sojiro suddenly strikes back with a hard blow to the stomach. Tim pukes up blood)

Tim:Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Sojiro:You let your guard down.

Tim:I.....know that! (cough)

Sojiro:I'll give you time to recuperate.

Tim:Alright. (to himself)You know, even in battle, he's honest. Deep down, he has a pure heart. From learning of his horrible past, I'd hope he wouldn't be a merciless killer, and I was right.)

Sojiro:Ready?

Tim:Yes, but I have a question.

Sojiro:What is it, may I ask?

Tim:Could you, after this, become my friend?

Sojiro:Your......friend?

Tim:Yes, I know you'd like one.

Sojiro:A friend?

Sojiro: So how about it?

Sojiro:I.......

Tim: Please?

Sojiro:I'll.....think about it.

Tim:Thanks!!

Sojiro: So, shall we finish our fight?

Tim: Of course.

(They get ready)

Sojiro:May the best man win.

Tim: Same here.

(Misao and Heather)

Heather:Is there any food?

Misao:Yeah. Want some bread?

Heather: Okay.

(Misao hands Heather bread)

Misao:Good?

Heather:Yeah!!

Misao:Hmmm.....(to herself)I hope you're alright Tim. Heather would need you in the future.....as a dad.

(The fight)

(More fast dodging and punching with some blood flying. They then stop. Both are laughing.)

Sojiro:Heh! Good fight!

Tim:Yes, it is!

(Laughing)

Sojiro:How long do you think this will go on?

Tim:Not sure.

Sojiro:We shall see soon.

(They both smile)

Tim:How about....one final charge?

Sojiro: Sounds good to me!

(Charging)

Tim:The winner will be chosen here!

Sojiro:Right!!

(When they get close to each other, they swing their fists, but Tim quickly dodges Sojiro's and appears behind him and hit's him in the back of the neck, knocking him out. He then stands there for a minute, then......)

Tim: (smiling)That was a good fight Sojiro. I'll see you later......friend.

(And Tim leaves, as the proud warrior he is)

(We are now back to Misao and Heather, who are sleeping)

Misao: (talking in her sleep) Stop ignoring me knucklehead.......

(Tim walks up to her)

Tim:Hey ummmm, Misao?

Misao: Stop ignoring me!!

(She slugs Tim and sends him flying)

Misao: (waking up)Huh? Uhh.......what happened? (She then see's Tim knocked out) Oh Tim, what happened?!
(He's still knocked out) Wake up, idiot!! (She slaps him)

Tim:Ow!!! Jeez, you think I felt enough pain?!

Misao:Tim!!(she hugs him) So, how did it go?

Tim:I knocked him out.

Misao:You did?

Tim:Yeah. Another thing is we decided to become friends after the battle was over, and I won when we decided to melee fight. I got him in the neck. He'll wake up sooner or later.

Misao: So he's not a threat anymore?

Tim:I doubt it.

Misao:That's good.

Tim: (looking at Heather) Sleeping, huh?

Misao: She's been out for a while since eating some bread.

Tim:Well, we're almost to Kyoto. We better get going before something else happens.

Misao:Right!!

(And so they shall. Kyoto is only a mere 10 miles away and they are almost there, but what danger awaits them there?)

TO BE CONTINUED

dude, sojiro is ....odd. @.@ anyone who smiles that much has GOTTA be pshyco. :shifty eyes:

ok guys i was off for a while but i all ready read eevrything battousai u rock!! is awesome!!! u have great writting skills!!

^.^ dont he!

Heh, stop it guys, you're making me blush.

Thanks for the nice comments. Want to know what? NEW CHAPTER!!!!! Enjoy!!

(Kyoto. A place in Japan that has seen a lot of disaster while fighting in wars that threatened to destroy itself. A place where a man named Kenshin Himura went to destroy the evil of Makoto Shishio's plans to take over the country. Now that he was gone, Japan was in peace again, but not for long, till a boy named Tim Ouellette showed up, which triggered his reign again. He has now arrived.

(They are standing at the entrance to Kyoto.)

Tim:Kyoto. A place I never thought I'd be. This is where my life is at risk.

Misao:........

Tim:I trust you'll be by my side, Misao?

Misao: Of course! No matter what!

Tim:Good. Let's go!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 17:Kyoto

(They are walking through the middle of town. While doing this, people are staring at Tim)

Tim:What's the deal? Why is everyone looking at me?

Misao: Probably because they've heard the "rumor."

Tim: Probably, but it seems a little too......quiet.

Misao:........

(After about a mile of walking)

Misao:Well, we're here!

TIm: Oh yeah, I totally forgot about this place.

(They have arrived at the headquarters and/or hideout of the Oniwaban Group)

Misao:How about you go meet everyone?

Tim:Well, you wouldn't say "meet," right?

Misao:I know what you're getting at.

(They both laugh, then walk in)

Misao:Hey everybody, I'm home!!

????:Misao!!

Misao:Hi grandpa!

(Misao's grandpa is Okina, who is about 68 years and used to be a previous leader of the Oniwaban Group.)

Okina:How are you?

Misao: Pretty good.

Okina:I see, and who are these two?

Misao:This is Tim, the boy from Tokyo, and this little girl is Heather. We found her at a village blown up by Shishio.

Okina:How terrible!! Well, she's sleeping so I guess you can lay her down in the bedroom.

Misao:Alright.

(Misao leaves)

Okina: So Mr. Ouellette, how are things? How did the journey go?

Tim:Well, it's sort of hard to explain.

Okina:I see.

(Silence)

Okina:How have you and Misao been getting along?

Tim:This might be a shocker, but we're planning on getting married.

Okina:WHAT?! (He faints)

Tim: Oro?!

(Misao hurries back)

Misao:What the hell did you do, Tim?!

Tim:I said "married" and he fainted.

Misao:That's grandpa. He faints at a lot of things.

Tim:I've noticed.

(They both laugh, then someone comes in)

????:Misao, you're back!!

Misao:Hey Aoshi!!

(For info on Aoshi Shinomori, look over Act II:Chapter 2. But here's some other info)

(Aoshi Shinomori is 26 years old and, like said in Chapter 2, quit being the leader of the Oniwaban Group because of what he went through with Shishio and other things before. Along with not being the leader anymore, he swore never to pick up a sword again.)

Aoshi:It's great to see you again. How was your journey?

Misao:Interesting and tragic.

Aoshi: Oh. (looks at Tim) Who's this?

Misao:This is Tim Ouellette, the boy swordsman from Tokyo.

Aoshi: Oh, so this is Tim. How are you doing?

Tim:Good.

Aoshi:Glad to hear it. Anyhow, I heard you're planning on killing Shishio.

Tim:......Yes.

Aoshi:Could I talk to you about it? We could walk around Kyoto while we talk about it.

Tim:Alright.

Misao:Want me to come with you?

Aoshi:No. You should stay here and look over the place.

Misao:Alright then. Be careful.

Aoshi: Don't worry. We will.

Tim:Take care!

Misao:Right!!

(Tim and Aoshi leave)

Misao: (to herself)Be careful guys.

(The streets of Kyoto)

Aoshi: So, what's the update?

Tim: Shishio is still alive, and more dangerous than ever?

Aoshi:How so?

Tim:He's come up with some new, strong techniques. I was killed by one of them.

Aoshi:You were killed?! How are you still alive?!

Tim:........Well....it's hard to explain. When I was dead, I had a dream with my parents in it and they knew I was here in Japan in another world. They knew the danger I was in and who I was traveling with, which was Misao, and it's strange, it seems like they knew me and her had a relationship.

Aoshi:A relationship?

Tim:We decided to get married after all of this is over.

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

Tim:Is.......something wrong?

Aoshi:No, it's nothing.

Tim: (smiling)Okay.

Aoshi:Anyhow, back to Shishio.

Tim: Okay.

(And they continue on through the streets of Kyoto, until......)

(Back to the Oniwaban Headquarters, a masked man is outside.)

????: (to himself)Heh heh!! This will be a piece of cake!!

TO BE CONTINUED

lol XD u blush!

:gaspiness: heh ^.^ Aoshi is soooo kewl! =^.^= wasnt the grandpa perverted in the show? >.< cant ...remember....

(Inside the headquarters, Misao is eating castellas, or cake.)

Misao:Whoa boy!! I never thought this could be so good! I wonder where grandpa got it! Mmmmmm!!

(Misao then hears a noise outside)

Misao:Uhh.....who's there? Is that you guys?

(Then she sees a bright orange light)

Misao: (to herself)Wait a second.....Huh?! It's fire! Oh no, both Heather and Okina are sleeping!! I have to wake them up!! Come on guys, hurry back!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 18: Surprise Attacks:Part 1

(Back to the guys)

Aoshi: So, you're not sure where your battle will be fought?

Tim:No, not yet.

Aoshi:Hmmm.....

(Suddenly, someone appears behind them)

????:Either way it doesn't matter! Not for those people who are about to go to hell!

Tim:Who the.....?!

Aoshi:Who are you?!

????:You sure you want to know?

Tim:Tell us, now!!

????:I work for Shishio. The names Bonzo.

Tim:Bonzo?! What a weird name! And why do you look like a clown?!

Bonzo:You'll see!

(He takes a balloon out)

Tim:What the.....?!

Bonzo:The balloon is my technique!

Aoshi:What the hell do you expect to do with that?!

Bonzo:Watch!!

(He blows into it and it starts turning into the form of a minotaur beast)

Tim:What the hell?!

Bonzo:Heh heh!! Impressed, are you?! You haven't seen nothing yet!!

(Silence for 10 seconds)

Bonzo:Go Lenny!! KILL THEM!!!

Lenny:UUUUUURRRRRRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(He charges at Tim and Aoshi)

Tim:Aoshi, get out of here!!

Aoshi:Why?!

Tim:You don't fight anymore, remember?!

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

Tim: So get out of here, or you'll be in danger!!

Aoshi:I'm not leaving you here to die!!

(Lenny slams his fist down hard on the ground towards Tim, but he got out of the way in time. Tim, during this time, appeared behind Lenny with his sword at the ready)

Tim: (to himself)He's a balloon, so he should pop very easily!!

(Tim uses his sword on him, but.....)

(CLING!!!!!)

Tim:What the hell?! He's......like metal!!

Bonzo:That's right!! Whatever monster I make with my balloons turns into metal right away, so as not to be beaten easily!! HA HA HA!!!

Tim: Dammit!!

Aoshi:Tim!!!

Bonzo: DIE!!!!!!!!

Tim: Sorry, I've already done that!!(He jumps in the air towards Lenny with his sword held up) Alright, let's try this again!!(swings sword down onto Lenny's head, but once again, didn't do nothing) DAMN!!! Nothing's working!!

Bonzo:Give it up, boy!! Nothing can beat my monsters!! NOTHING!!!

Tim:You're really starting to piss me off!!

Bonzo:I'm sorry you feel that way!!

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

Bonzo:Lenny, Knuckle Bomb!!!

Tim: (to himself) Oh no, what's he going to do?!

(Back to headquarters)

Misao: (in the bedroom where Heather is sleeping) Heather, wake up, hurry!!

Heather:Mommy, what's wrong?

Misao:There's a fire!! We have to hurry outside!!

Heather:Fire?!

Misao:Yes!! Here, let me carry you!!

(They exit the room)

Misao: Okay, I have to wake up grandpa!! (She goes over too him) Grandpa, grandpa, wake up!!

Okina: Oh.....what?! What is it?!

Misao:There's a fire!!

Okina:Fire?! Alright, let's get outside!!

(Heading for the exit, the ceiling breaks apart by the fire and blocks it)

Heather: Oh no, we're trapped!!

Misao: Don't worry Heather, we'll get out!!

(They go towards the back by a window, but the ceiling suddenly collapes)

Misao: Damn!!

(Heather starts crying)

Misao: Don't cry, Heather!

Okina:How are we going to get out?!

Misao: (suddenly looks up)Look!! There's a hole in the ceiling!! I can jump up and find help!!

Okina:Good idea, hurry!!

Misao:Here, hold Heather!!

(Misao jumps out onto the roof, trying to avoid the fire best she can, then jumps onto the street)

Misao:Alright, who did this?!

????: So, you got out unhurt?

Misao:Who are you?! Show yourself!!

(The mysterious person comes out of the alley)

Misao:Who are you?!

????:My name is Yusaki Omeha! I work for Shishio!

Misao: Shishio, huh?! Boy, is HE EVER going to get it!!

Yusaki:Not until you beat me first!!

Misao:Fine then!!

(Fighting poses for 20 seconds)

Misao: Don't you have a weapon?!

Yusaki:I use my fists to fight!!

Misao:Alright then!! I'll use my fists too!!

(Charge)

(If you look at it this way, Misao has the advantage here, but it's not looking that way. As Misao is about to dodge Yusaki's punch, she get's slugged in the face)

Misao: Owww!!! Damn, what just happened there?!

Yusaki:Isn't it obvious?! I'm faster than you!!

Misao:I......can see that!!

Yusaki:How about we try that again?!

Misao: Sure!! (to herself)Damn!! I don't have time for this!! I have to find Tim and Aoshi!!

End of part 1

Bonzo vs. Tim
Yusaki vs. Misao

Two matches that you DON'T want to miss, next time on A Manslayer Story!!!

Yeah, Bonzo, Lenny and Yusaki are my made-up characters.

Sorry for the delay, but well.....here's part 2. Be patient, the final fight is approaching between Tim and Shishio.

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 19: Surprise Attacks:Part 2

Bonzo: Lenny!! Knuckle Bomb!!

Tim:Oh no!! What's going to happen?!

(Lenny slams his fist down on the ground as Tim jumps out of the way, but suddenly....)

Tim:Huh?! Why are his knuckles lighting up?!

Bonzo: Isn't it obvious?! Knuckle bomb!!

Tim: Dammit!!

(BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!)

(Tim goes flying back)

Tim:Aaaahhhhh!!!!!

Aoshi:Tim!!!

(Tim lands on the ground, wounded and bleeding a little)

Tim:Aaahhhh....owwww!!!

Bonzo:You should have never messed with me!!

Aoshi: Tim!! Uugh.....(he goes over to him) Tim, please give me your sword!! I'll fight!!

Tim:No......it's no use!! We can't hurt it!! Besides, you gave up fighting!!

Aoshi:Tim, please!! You're going to die!! PLEASE!!!

Tim:NO!!!

Aoshi:.......

Tim:I'll finish this fight.....myself!!

Aoshi:You're hurt!!

(Tim slowly get's up)

Tim:I'm....fine!

Aoshi:Tim.......

Bonzo: So, you want another helping of pain?

Tim: Shut up, you!!

Bonzo:I guess that's a yes! Lenny, Knuckle Bomb!!

Aoshi:Tim, you won't survive another one!!

Tim: (to himself)I don't know if I'll be able to do this! I have nothing to power up my sword, but I have to try. (outloud) Right!!

Bonzo:What is right?! That I'll smash your little body?!

Tim:No, that I'll cut your monster into tiny little pieces!!

Bonzo:Huh?!

Tim:Aaahhhhhh!!!!! (He jumps up in the air) Let's hope this works!!

Bonzo:What the hell are you doing?!

Aoshi:Tim?!

Tim:Please my friends, give me strength!!

Bonzo:You......selfish brat!!

Tim:That's it!! Get ready......Lenny!!

Lenny:Aaargghhh?!?!

Tim: SWORD OF JUSTICE!!!!!

(The same technique as last time, then Tim sends the energy down)

Tim:Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!

Lenny:AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Bonzo:NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(BOOM)

(After the smoke clears up)

Aoshi:What the......hell?! (looks towards Bonzo) Aaahhh....

(What is left of Lenny is nothing. It seems that the attack destroyed him completely)

Bonzo:UURRRGGHHHHH!!!!!! You won't get away with this!! We'll meet again!! You'll see......

(He runs off)

Aoshi:Whooo Tim.....that was incr......

(He looks towards Tim)

Aoshi:OH NO, TIM!!!

(He goes over to him)

Aoshi:Tim, TIM!!! Wake up!!

Tim:Ooohhhhhh......

Aoshi:Are you alright?!

Tim:I'm.......alright.

Aoshi:Good. You should rest.

Tim: Heh, yeah.

(Back to Misao)

(We are shown them punching and dodging each others attacks, here and there, both getting hit by each others attacks. As this goes on, the fire is getting worse and Misao is getting worried)

Misao:How long are you planning to keep this up?!

Yusaki:As long as you are still alive!!

Misao:That is NOT a good answer!!

Yusaki:It is for me!

Misao: Someone needs my help!! Can't we settle this after that?!

Yusaki: Shishio's orders are too kill anyone I see as quickly as possible!

Misao: Screw Shishio!! My friends lives are important!!

Yusaki: Do I care?!

Misao: I'd think not, but I do, so I WILL get rid of you as fast as I can!!

Yusaki:I'd like to see you try, wench!!!

Misao:Uhhh.....THAT'S IT!!!!!

(She gets out her weapons)

Yusaki:Hmmphhh.....nothing but kid toys!

(He disappears)

Misao:Uhh....Where did he go?!

(He suddenly shows up behind her and kicks her)

Misao:Aaahhhh!!!!!

Yusaki:Pathetic......

Misao:You.......

Yusaki:Now to finish you off!! (He takes one of Misao's weapons that she dropped) DDDIIIEEEEE!!!!!!

????:Hey, you!!

Yusaki: HUH?!

Misao:Tim!!

Tim:Who the hell do you think you are?!

Yusaki: It's you!!

Tim: Damn straight!!

(He charges him, then quickly takes his sword out, uses it, then quickly shows up on the other side of him)

Aoshi:Uhh....

Misao:.........

(Yusaki's head comes off)

Misao and Aoshi:........

Tim:Are you alright, Misao?

Misao: Y.....yes.

Aoshi:Misao, what's with this fire?!

Misao:That guy started it!

Tim:Is there anyone inside?!

Misao:Okina and Heather!!

Tim:They are?! I'll get them out!!

Misao:Be careful!!

(Tim jumps up on the roof, avoiding the fire, until he get's to the hole in the roof)

Tim:Okina, Heather, are you alright?!

Okina:Yes, please get us out!!

Tim:Alright!! I'm coming down!!

(He jumps down)

Heather: Daddy!!

Tim:Hey Heather!! Okina, I'll take her first!!

Okina:Alright!!

(Tim jumps out, then puts Heather down on the street. Heather runs over to Misao, crying!!)

Heather:Mommy!!

Misao:It's alright Heather!! I'm here!!

Tim:Alright, I'll go back for O......

Okina:AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Misao:GRANDPA!!!!!!

Tim: DAMN!!!!(He jumps up to the hole, then see's Okina about to be engulfed in flames)OKINA!!!!! (to himself) How am I going to save him in time?! Uhh....I KNOW!!!! (He jumps down again and heads for the front doors)Let's hope this works!!

Misao:Tim!! What are you doing?!

Tim:Okina, kneel down as far as you can go!!

Okina:Okay!!

Aoshi:What are you going to do?!

(Tim jumps back, then does the same thing he does for the Sword of Justice)

Misao:Tim!!!

Tim:AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

(The energy goes flying towards the house, and then.....)

(FLASH!!!!!)

(After 30 seconds)

Misao:The fire.....it's out!

Aoshi:But, what about Okina?!

Tim:Okina!! OKINA!!!

(No answer)

Tim:OKINA!!!!!

Okina:I'm......here!

Tim:Whew!

Misao:That was amazing, Tim!!

Aoshi:Nice job!!

Tim:I just thought that the force of the attack would put it out, and I was right!

Misao:And it did!!

(Tim and Misao hug)

(As they hug, Aoshi studies them, then says

Aoshi:Misao?

Misao:Yes?

Aoshi:I just wanted to say......I think you and Tim make one great couple.

Misao:Thanks.....Aoshi!

Aoshi:And to think you liked me! That was fine, but you needed someone your own age, not someone like me who is 10 years older than you!

Misao:Yeah, I did admire you for a while, till I met Tim. I saw something in him, an empty spot. So, I decided to be with him.

(Aoshi smiles)

Tim: So, shall we get Okina?

Misao:Okay.

(5 minutes later)

Okina:Thank you, Tim!! Thank you so much!!

Tim: Don't mention it. It was nothing.

Aoshi:I'm glad the danger is over for now!!

Tim:Yes.....but till I fight Shishio, trouble will erupt once again! We have to find out where he is!

Misao:Yes we do!

Tim: (to himself) When I find him, he's going to get SUCH an ass-beating!!!

Act II:A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 20:Collecting Information

(The next morning)

(Because the headquarters were destroyed, they stayed at an inn for the night and into the day, thinking that it will be their home for a while. As they were staying there, they have been thinking what to do with Makoto Shishio.)

(Outside the inn, Tim, Misao, and Aoshi are planning)

Misao: So, what's the plan Tim?

Tim: First, we gather info on Shishio from the police and the government, then we make our move.

Misao:Are you sure they'll give valuable information?

Tim:They should.

Aoshi:I hope you're right.

Tim:I'm sure they'll help. (pause) Should we get going then?

Misao: Sure!!

(They head off to the police station)

Aoshi: Be careful!! (to himself) Tim, please do your best to protect her!

(The police station)

Cop:What?! Why should I tell you?!

Tim: Because I plan on stopping him!!

Cop: Likely story!! What could a kid like you do?!

Tim: I'm no kid!! My name is Tim Ouellette from Tokyo, and.......

Cop: Did you say Tim Ouellette?!

Tim: Yes.

Cop: I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you!

Tim: That's alright.

Cop: Anyhow, what did you want to know about him?

Tim: His location and status.

Cop: I see. Well, he's......

????: How about you let ME tell them!

Cop: Huh?!

(A man in a police uniform enters)

Cop: Saito sir!!

Tim: Oh, Saito!! It's you!!

Misao: I remember you!!

Tim: So, you're still working for the police?

Saito: Yes, I am.

(Hajime Saito was, during the Revolution, leader of the 3rd squad of a group of warriors called the Shinsegumi. The Shinsegumi were a group of assassins getting rid of government people who they thought were making Japan's government worse. Saito was one of Kenshin's worst enemies during this time, till earlier this year, when Saito found Kenshin again and had a very rough battle with him. They suddenly, soon after, became so-called allies so to get rid of Makoto Shishio. Soon after, they went separate ways.)

Tim: So, you're planning on stopping him again, are you?

Saito: What else can I do?

Tim: (smiles) I guess nothing.

Misao: So, what do you know?

Saito: I heard rumors that Shishio is waiting 5 miles from here in a mountain area.

Tim: A mountain area?

Saito: Yes.

Misao:........

Tim: Is that all we need to know?

Saito: Pretty much.

Tim: Then let's go! (he starts off)

Saito: Wait!

Tim: What?

Saito: I forgot something. (He reaches for one of his swords) You're going to need a stronger sword.

Tim:You sure?

Saito: Yes. I'm sure he has become much stronger overtime.

Tim:.........

Saito: Are you up to the challenge?

Tim: I suppose.

Saito: How about you, missy?

Misao: I'll stay by Tim's side no matter what!!

Saito: .........Very well. You should leave immediately. (hands Tim the sword)

Tim:Thanks!!

Saito: Good luck! I'll pray for your victory!

Tim: Thanks! (pause) Let's go, Misao!

Misao: Right!!

(They walk out)

Cop: Do you think they'll succeed?

Saito: Perhaps, but they do have one weakness that Shishio knows of. Let's hope they survive.

Cop: .........

Saito: ..........

(On the road to the mountain area)

Tim:........

Misao:.........

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

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Yes?

Misao: When all this is over and all, want to......I mean, what I'm trying to say is, ummmmmm.......

Tim: Get married?

Misao:.........

(Tim smiles)

Misao: Yes, so would you.

Tim: Of course.

(Misao smiles)

(They then come to the mountain area)

Tim: We have arrived.

Misao: So, where he is?

Tim: Maybe....he's on the other side of that door over there.(he points to a door built into the mountain)

(They go to investigate. They open the door and go inside. When they get inside, the room is being lit by torches on the far walls. Tim and Misao's voices echo while in the room)

Misao: Boy, this room is humongous!!

Tim: Yes it is!! A perfect background for Shishio's death!!

????: Don't you mean YOUR death?!

Tim: Hmmmmm......

Misao: Shishio!!

Tim: Where are you?!

Shishio: Right in front of you!!

(Tim and Misao look in front of them. What they see is a figure coming out of the darkness)

Shishio: So, ready to die?!

Tim:.......

Misao:........

TO BE CONTINUED

...LOL XD Saito! ooohh man, i remember him! heh, i died laughing when i found out he had a wife. BWAHAHA!!!! ^.^ ok, im alright.
yah! final battle!

The final battle has begun!!!!!

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 21: The Final Battle!!!

Tim: Shishio.......

Misao: How long has he been waiting? Is he really eager to kill you?

Tim: Probably......(he stares hard at Shishio)

Shishio: So, how was your journey up until now? Let's hope you enjoyed it, because it will end here, even before marrying your precious little girl!

Tim: (shocked)Uhhhhhh........

Misao: You.......BASTARD!!!!!

Shishio:Want to be first?!

Misao:........

Shishio: Then, SHUT UP!!!!!

Tim: HEY!!!!!

Shishio: Huh?!

Tim: Misao has nothing to do with you!! Your fight is with me, and if we could, I want to start NOW!!!!!

Shishio:It's about time! Let's go!!

(They both charge, screaming)

Misao: TIM!!!!!

(Once they cross swords, there's an explosion between the two of them, and thus the battle begins)

(Kenshin and the others)

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

Yahiko: Come on everyone, Tim will come back, I know it!! We should all have faith in him!! What do you say?!

All:........

Yahiko:Hmmmmm.......

Kenshin:Yahiko......?

Yahiko:......Yes?

Kenshin:You're right!! We should have faith in him!!

Kaoru: You got that right!!

Ayame and Suzume: Yeah Tim, you can do it!!

Sano: Yes he can!!

(Then someone knocks on the door)

Kaoru: I wonder who that is?

(She walks to the front door and opens it)

Kaoru:Kenshin, come quick!!

Kenshin:Huh?!

(The village where Yoshi lives)

Yoshi: I wonder where Tim is? I hope I'll see him again. He's a great friend.

(The inn)

Heather: Aszi?

Aoshi: Heh! It's Aoshi. Is there something you want?

Heather: Where's mommy and daddy?

Aoshi: They went to go......meet a friend.

Heather: Do you know when they will be back?

Aoshi: In a while. It won't be long. (then to himself) I hope.

(The battle)

(They're both swiping swords at each other, avoiding the best they can. Here and there, they get little cuts on the face, legs, etc. While this goes on, Misao is watching as Tim's life is at risk. She is praying for his safety. Then after a minute or so of excessive sword swiping, they stop for a moment)

Shishio: (out of breath) I......was right all......along. Your strength has increased.....quite a bit from our last encounter.

Tim:Uuuhhhhh.....(Tim has a flashback of it, him laying there on the ground, dead, after a slash in the back, laying in a pool of his blood) Uuahhhh......NO, NO, NO!!!!!

Shishio: It seems to haunt you, doesn't it?! Heh heh heh!!!

Tim:Uuhhh......no, it won't happen again.......IT WON'T HAPPEN EVER AGAIN!!!!!! (charges towards Shishio screaming at the top of his lungs) IT WON'T!!!!!

Misao: TIM!!!!!

(Tim swings his sword down, but misses, then Shishio punches him while unguarded, sending him flying)

Tim: Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Shishio: Haven't you learned ANYTHING?! Never attack while in a rage!!

Tim: (getting slowly off the ground) Shut up, you!!!

Shishio: So you still want more?

Tim:........

Shishio: Fine! Here I come! (charge) Take this!!! (swings sword down) Got you.....HUH?! (Tim has disappeared) Where the hell did you go?!

Misao: Tim?

(It's all quiet)

TO BE CONTINUED

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 22: Battousai vs. Manslayer

Shishio: Where the hell did you go?!

Misao: Tim?

(It's all quiet)

Shishio: (himself) He couldn't have just.....disappeared completely!!

(More quiet)

Tim: Up here, dip-shit!!!

Shishio: What?!

(Tim suddenly comes down from the ceiling with his sword pointed down)

Tim: I hope this hurts!!!

Misao: Tim!!!

Shishio: Nice trick, but it won't work!!

(Just as Tim is about to pierce Shishio, he moves to the left and Tim sticks his sword in the ground)

Shishio: Nice try!!

Tim: Hmmph......I knew you'd do that, so I decided to do THIS!!!!

Shishio: Huh?!

(The ground starts shaking and then starts cracking)

Shishio: What is this?!

Tim: I call it my Justice Shaker!!

(The ground breaks towards Shishio, hoping to bury him in the mountain floor)

Misao: WHOA!!!!! Tim!!!

Shishio: Uugh......It seems that you need a little work at this!!

(Shishio jumps over Tim, get's his sword out and swings at him. Tim quickly get's sword out of the ground, jumps over Shishio's attack and jumps back)

Shishio and Tim: Heh!!!

Misao: WHOA, that was nuts!!

Shishio: Impressive!! It was as strong as your Sword of Justice!! You HAVE gotten stronger, from our points of view!

Tim: Yes!!

Shishio: Let's see if you've got the strength to save your girlfriend!!

Tim: WHAT?!

(Shishio heads for Misao, sword raised)

Shishio: HA HA HA!!!!!!

Misao: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Tim's speed increases)

Shishio: DIE!!!!!!

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

(CLING)

Shishio: HUH?!

(Tim made it. As Shishio was lowering his sword, Tim blocked it with his, just as he was about to kill Misao)

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

Tim: (has a VERY evil look on his face and has a really dark voice) You have NO right to kill or even touch her, your fight is with me, got it?!

Misao: Tim, are you alright?

Shishio: So, you are ready!!

Misao: Ready? For what?

(She looks at Tim's face, and see's that......)

Misao: He's........a battousai!!!

Shishio: Yes, he is now a true killer!!!

Misao: (to herself) No, am I going to lose him again, for good?!

TO BE CONTINUED

The tension is rising!!! The battle continues as Tim fights Shishio......as a battosuai, and Misao is forced to watch her future husband risk his life. Will Tim be able to survive? Stay tuned.....

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 23: Technique

(Tim and Shishio have returned to their starting points. Misao is on the side is worried about what may come of this battle.)

Tim: You are to not involve Misao in our fight. Got it?!

Shishio: Hhmphh!! Alright with me!

Tim: Besides, I know why you attempted to kill her?

Shishio: Hmmm?

Tim: So that my battosuai side could come out. Right?!

Shishio: Correct!

Tim: It was obvious enough! Now, enough with the talking! Let's fight!!!

Shishio: Yes! Let me taste your blade!!!

Tim: Fine!! (charge) AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(CLING)
(CLANG)
(CLING)
(CLANG)

(Shishio and Tim are now pressing each others swords together)

Shishio: I'm going to make sure you and that wench die here!!

Tim: I thought I told you to stop CALLING HER THAT!!!!!

(Tim pushes Shishio down to the ground, then quickly gets ready to pierce him in the chest) GOT YOU!!!!!

Shishio: Heh!!

(CLING! Tim stuck his sword in the ground where Shishio was)

Tim: Huh?! Where'd he go?!

Misao: Tim!! Behind you!!

Tim: What?!

Shishio: HA HA HA!!!!!

(SLASH!!! Right across the back like last time)

Misao: No.......

Tim: Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Misao: ......not again.

Shishio: Just like last time, huh?!

(Tim is on the ground, bleeding and screaming in agony)

Misao: Tim!!! Let me help!!!

Tim:N...n..noooo.....

Misao: Please!! You're going to die!!

Tim: Misao, please!! This is my fight!! I was chosen!! I accepted, and I will beat him myself, even if I die, I will save Japan from his rule! I SWEAR IT!!!!!

Shishio: Just give up! You know you have no chance of defeating me! You of all people should know that!

Tim: **** OFF!!!!!

Shishio: Oh, you just sealed your life! No one never talks to me like that, NEVER!!! (raises his sword) Say goodbye to your girlfriend, for you shall never see her again, EXCEPT IN HELL!!!!! (charges at her)

Misao: TIIIIIIMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

Shishio: DDIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: (to himself) NOW!!!!

Shishio: (lowering sword) AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

(CLING)

Shishio: What?!

Misao: Tim?!

Shishio: You.....blocked it!!

Tim: Damn straight!!

Shishio: And why do you look as good as new?!

Tim: A new technique I learned......from my parents!

Shishio: Huh?!

Misao: (herself) He's okay!!

Shishio: What the hell are you bragging about?!

Tim: It's something I call the Love Heal!

Shishio: Stupid name if you ask me!!

Tim: Of course it is to you, because you've never been loved before, have you?

Shishio: ........!!!

Tim: Well, have you?!

Shishio: None of your damn business!! Come, let's finish our fight!! (They walk out to their starting positions again) Here I come!! (charge, swing, miss, then to himself) He's much faster!! Uhhh......

Tim: What's wrong?!

(Shishio looks behind him and see's Tim)

Shishio: Aaaahhhh!!!!!

Tim: Took you long enough for you to notice me!! Ready to continue?!

Shishio: Uuugghhhh......

TO BE CONTINUED

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 24: Shock!!!

Tim: So, ready to continue?!

Shishio: Uugh.....

Misao: (herself) Tim........he seems to have the advantage right now!

Shishio: How can this be possible?! Your strength was pretty much down!! This love thing cannot be for real!!

Tim: You are just denying it! I have the advantage now Shishio!

Shishio: You are a thorn in my side!!

Tim: Hey, you're the one who got me into this, so don't blame it on me!!

Shishio: Still, you won't die!!

Tim: THAT'S why?! Hhmph, you're so pathetic!!

Shishio: DAMN YOU!!!!!

(charge, swing, miss)

Tim: I already told you, I'm much faster and stronger than you!! You can't beat me!!

Shishio: Wanna bet?!

(same thing, over and over and over, till Shishio is out of breath)

Misao: Alright Tim, we got him!!

Shishio: Don't bet on it!!

Tim and Misao: Huh?!

Shishio: There's still something I haven't used....that's impossible to avoid!!

Tim: You're just bluffing!!

Shishio: We'll see!!

Misao: Be careful Tim!!

Shishio: I picked this up from an old enemy of Himura!!

Tim: Who?!

Shishio: Does the name......Raijuta ring a bell?!

Tim: (shocked) Raijuta?! I remember his technique!! It was the......Tobe Azuna!! He sent energy from the sword like I do at fast speed!!

Shishio: I see!! You know of him, don't you?!

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

Shishio: Scared yet?!

Tim: Uuhhhh.....NO!!! I'm not scared of you!!

Shishio: THEN PREPARE!!!!! (raises his sword) I wish you the worst of luck!!

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

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

Shishio: DIE!!!!!! (swings sword down and energy flies out)

Misao: TIM!!!!!!!!

Tim: Piece of cake!! (moves to the left to avoid)

Shishio: Here's another one!! (same thing)

Tim: (dodges to the right) Come ON!!! Can't you do better than that?!

Shishio: ...........

Tim: So?!

Shishio: So?! What?!

Tim: You said nobody could avoid it!!

Shishio: For someone with your skills, yes......but what about the girl?!

Tim: HUH?!

Shishio: HEH HEH!!! (turns towards Misao) Try avoiding THIS!!! (brings sword down)

Misao: TIM!!!!!!!!

Tim: MISAO!!!!!!!!!!!

(Tim is running as fast as he can to save her, then makes it, but)

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

Misao: Huh?! Uh, no........TIM!!!!!!!

(As Tim pushed Misao out of the way of his attack, the energy sliced Tim in his right arm almost cutting it off. Tim then falls to the ground, not moving, and now unable to protect Misao)

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

Shishio: So......he is down. Finally!!

Misao: No, it can't be! TIM!!!!!

Shishio: Well, you're next!!

Misao: Don't worry Tim! I'll defeat Shishio for you, and I'll tell of your courage and strength throughout your journey! Rest well......my dear Tim.

Shishio: Are you done yet?!

Misao:.........

Shishio: Hey wench, I'm talking to you!!

Misao: SHUT UP!!!!! Now that Tim is dead, I am the only one left to fight you!! I don't care if I die, I will die with honor!!

Shishio: If you wish!! Let us begin!!

TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!

>D Kick ass girl! ...whoooss this other enemy of Kenny dude?

It's Raijuta silly, can't you read? LOL XD

Well, I guess you mean what ROLE he played, right? Remember Yutaro? He was involved at that time.

O.o.....:silence:

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 25: Misao Steps In

(Misao and Shishio are facing each other down)

Misao: .........

Shishio: .........

Misao:.........

Shishio:.........

Misao: (to herself while looking at Tim) Don't worry Tim. Your death won't be in vein.

Shishio: Shall we get started?

Misao: (slowly looks at Shishio) Very well. (get's her weapons out) Let's duel!!!

Shishio: (drawing his sword) Let the best man or wench win!!

Misao: Once you're dead, you won't be calling me that!!

Shishio: Heh!!

Misao: Hmmph.....

(Silence for 15 seconds, then Shishio charges. Misao see's him coming, then jumps over him and, while in midair, throws her weapons at him, but Shishio stops them with his sword. Misao then lands on her feet.)

Misao: (herself) He sure has good defense!

Shishio: Is that all you got?!

Misao: Nope.....just getting started!

Shishio: Show me what else you have then!!

Misao: Gladly!!

(The inn)

(When we last left Kenshin and the others, they were at the dojo thinking of how Tim will prevail over Shishio, till someone came, and that someone was Saito. They were told of Tim's situation and decided to wait for Tim at the inn, if he was too return)

Kenshin: So, how long as he been gone?

Saito: I'd say it's been about 2 1/2 hours. He was eager to go.

Kenshin: No wonder. He didn't want this.

Yahiko: No one would want it. He didn't know of this till the last minute. All he wanted was a happy life here.

Kaoru: That's true.

Saito: I can see the situation clearly now.

Kenshin: Let's hope he prevails over the evil. We pray for his safety.

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

(The fight)

(Dodging and throwing her weapons, Misao is avoiding Shishio's attacks and waiting for the right time for her technique)

(They're talking as they're fighting)

Shishio: So, where's your power you were talking about?!

Misao: Why don't you give me a chance to use it?!

Shishio: I'm afraid if I do that, you'll kill me, and I wouldn't want that!

Misao: Aww.....too bad!

(They stop)

Misao: You'd probably enjoy it, like Tim did, but Tim isn't the type to enjoy death! Only someone like you deserves to enjoy it!!

Shishio: That kid deserved too die! Anybody who challenges me and dies are weak, and that boy was weak!

Misao: He wasn't weak, you're just stubborn!!

Shishio: No one says that and lives! NO ONE!!!!! (charges Misao)

Misao: Like I said!! (jumps in the air) Stubborn!!!

Shishio: Heh!! (jumps in the air with sword pointed up)

Misao: Aaahhhh!!!!!

(As Misao get's out of the way of his attack, she sticks a weapon right in his back)

Shishio: Gahhh!!! (falls to the ground, with blood oozing from the wound)

Misao: How did you like that?!

Shishio:.........

Misao: I thought so! (goes over to Tim) Tim? Tim?!

(Quiet)

Misao: It's no good! (crying) Why?! WHY?! We had a future, a future as husband and wife, hanging out with our friends, and also Heather, what am I going to tell her?!

Shishio: Heh heh heh heh heh.......

Misao: Huh?!

Shishio: ............HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! That was pretty sneaky, but(takes the weapon out of his back and throws it to the ground) it WON'T happen again!!

Misao: (to herself) This doesn't look good!!

TO BE CONTINUED

ooohhh crap. @.@

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 26: Shishio's Victory?!

(The inn)

(As everyone is sitting down to dinner, they are discussing things among themselves, away from Tim fighting Shishio, till.....)

Yoshi: Excuse me?

Kenshin: Oh? Who are you?

Yoshi: My name is Yoshi Aihara. I am a friend of Tim's, and I heard, when I came here to visit family, that you are waiting for Tim to return.

Kenshin: Yes, we are.

Yoshi: Is it alright if I wait for him too?

Kenshin: Of course!

Yoshi: Thanks! ( He sits next to Yahiko) Hi, what's your name?

Yahiko: Yahiko Myojin.

Kenshin: (himself) Come on Tim, you have to survive. Your friends are waiting for you.

(The fight)

(Facedown. As this is going on, Misao is shaking in fear as Shishio is laughing)

Misao: Uuhhhh......

Shishio: Hhmphh!! What's wrong, scared?!

Misao: N.....no!!! Why would I be scared of you?!

Shishio: There's a lot of reasons! You know that!

Misao: I know that you're ugly!! That's what scares me!!

Shishio: You have a big mouth, you know that?!

Misao:.........

Shishio: Maybe I'll have to SHUT IT UP!!!!! (charge)

Misao: Uhah!! (jumps over him) Nice try!!

Shishio: So, you're not scared anymore?

Misao: Nope! I have faith in myself!

Shishio: Faith? What a bunch of crap!!

Misao: I can't believe you!!

Shishio: Hmmm?

Misao: I don't see how you can be so evil!! How did this come to be?!

Shishio: For one thing, people treated me like shit! No one saw me as a person, but a monster!

Misao: Why a monster?

Shishio: I used to do things that were thought of what only the devil could do, things like cooking humans and eating them!

Misao: Uuhhhh.....!!!!!

Shishio: Yes, you think so too, I see!!

Misao: W........why did you do those things?!

Shishio: Like I said, nobody never paid attention to me!!

Misao: You never had any friends?

Shishio: No! Anyhow, who need friends, when you have yourself?!

Misao: But......!!

Shishio: NO!!!.......You don't have to say anything!! Let's just finish this!!

Misao:.........

Shishio:.........

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

(Shishio charges with sword raised)

Misao: (herself) Give it up!! (jumps) Uhhh.......

(Shishio suddenly jumps in the air, expecting that Misao would do it too)

Shishio: GOT YOU!!!!!!!!

Misao: AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(SLASH!!!)

(Misao get's slashed across the chest)

Shishio: Heh heh!!!

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

(She falls to the ground)

Shishio: Now, to finish you off!! (He falls towards the ground with his sword pointing down heading for Misao's head)

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 27: Turn of Events

(Shishio is falling down to the ground with his sword pointed down towards Misao's head)

Shishio: DIE!!!!!!!!!!!

(Suddenly.....someone comes flying and knocks Shishio's sword out of his hands)

Shishio: Who the hell?!

(We are shown the back of someone as Shishio lands on the ground)

Shishio: Who the hell do you think you are?!

(The person laughs evily)

????: Ha ha ha ha ha!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!

Shishio: Who are you?!

????: What?! You forgot?!

Shishio: Uhhh.......

(The person turns around and.....)

Shishio: You!!!!!

(It is Tim)

Shishio: You're......supposed to be dead!!!

Tim: Guess again! I was never dead!

Shishio: No matter! Your arm is useless!

Tim: Yes, well I guess I'll have to use my left arm now, don't I?

Shishio: Dammit!!

Tim: What's the matter? Getting scared?!

Shishio: Shut up you!! (rasies sword) Why do you keep fighting if what is waiting for you is death?!

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

Shishio: Well?!

Tim: (sad tone) Because........I have a life ahead of me. A life with Misao, a life with Heather, a life with Kenshin and the others. A life so as to see other great things. A peaceful life.....it's a great thing to dream for, not like someone like you would understand. You kill for fun! You have no future but to kill others!!

Shishio: I'm.......going......to.......shut.......you......UP!!!!!! (charges with sword raised) HAH!!!!! (swings, misses) UURRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! (Tim has jumped to the other side of Shishio)

Tim: Come on, that tricks getting old!

Shishio: Don't EVER underestimate me!! (charges again) YOU SCUM!!!!!

Tim: Pitiful!! (draws sword) This will be the end!!!

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 28: Final

Shishio: (charging) AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Pitiful! (draws sword) This will be the end!!!

(Shishio jumps up in the air, sword raised. Tim moves over to the other side VERY quickly, then heads back to where Shishio is about to land. As Shishio does land and turns around, Tim is charging and has his sword extended out in front of him. As Shishio tries to get out of the way, Tim stabs Shishio through his chest, right through his heart. Tim remains motionless as Shishio suffers with his sword still stuck through Shishio.)

Shishio: Uu.....ugh..... (pukes up blood) You......uuuahhh......

(Tim takes his sword out and let's Shishio fall to the ground. There is silence for about 20 seconds, then.....)

Tim: I........am victoriuos. (puts sword back in sheathe) Let's hope you burn in hell! (He then runs to Misao) Misao?! Misao?!

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

Tim: Misao, please say something!!

Misao: .....ohhh.........

Tim: Misao?

Tim: T......Tim? What.......happened?

Misao: He's dead Misao. I won.

Tim: Good. (sudden pain) Aahhhh!!!!

Tim: Misao?!

Misao: Don't worry, I won't die.

Tim: Why do you say that?

Misao: Look.

Tim: Huh? (Tim looks at where she was cut across the stomach) Armor?

Misao: Yeah, I was hoping I would need it, so I wore some.

Tim: That was some smart thinking, huh?

Misao: I guess so.

(They both softly laugh)

(1 hour later at the end)

Kenshin: (yawn) Boy, I'm tired.

Yahiko: Me too. I wonder how long Tim has been gone.

Kensin: I'd have to say about close to 4 hours. I hope he's okay.

Kaoru: Me too.

Sano: I believe in him. I think that he can kick his ass.

Kenshin: He has incredible powers, that he does.

Yahiko: He's also a great friend.

(Everyone nods in agreement)

Yahiko: He'll come back.......I know he will!!

(5 minutes later)

Man: (from outside) Hey, someone's coming!!

All: Huh?!

(Everyone rushes outside)

Yahiko: Is it.......?!

Kenshin: Yes, it is!!

Kaoru: Tim and Misao!!

All: YEAH!!!!!

(After Tim and Misao catch up with everyone)

Tim: Hi.......everyone.

Kenshin: Welcome back Tim!

Tim: Thanks!

Kenshin: And to you too Misao!

Misao: Thanks!

Yahiko: Hey Tim!!

Tim: Hi......Yahiko!......So, how about I tell you......how it is where I am?

Yahiko: That'll be great!

(Tim smiles then suddenly faints)

Misao: Tim!!

Kenshin:.....He must be very exhausted and hungry. We should let him rest. Miss Megumi?

Megumi: Yes?

Kenshin: Could you take care of Tim for us?

Megumi: Certainly. (she picks him up) I'll do my best. (she walks into the inn)

Kenshin: Well, nothing to do but wait till he's healed.

Yahiko: Yeah, I guess so.

(And with that said, Tim has returned home alive and well, with everyone glad that he has returned home......a hero.)

Next time: Act finale!!!

You won't want to miss it!!!

Act II: A Journey Once Taken
Chapter 29: Home

http://www.rpgdreamer.com/music/xeno/X39.mid-If it doesn't start playing the song right away, then go to Dream Egg Hatches manually going to google, type in Xenogears music, then go to the first choice that says Xenogears Music.

(2 days later)

Tim: (just waking up from the night he returned) Oohhh......uahhh...... (sits up) Ooohh....damn, I feel like a rock. Uhh....where is everybody? (stands up then falls down from weakness) OOWWWW!!!!! Eech!!! (He then manages to walk. He exits the room he's in and then finds the way to the front room.) Where is everybody? Huh? (He then notices food sitting out with a note saying "This is for you Tim, when you get up. Enjoy!! - From all of us." What is left to eat is chicken fried rice with bread. Tim slowly eat's it then he sits down to rest. He then after a few mintes walks outside.) Boy, it sure feels good to breathe and feel the fresh air again! (Then.....)

????: (from a far distance) Hey Tim!!!

(Tim looks to see who it was. It was everyone he knew and cared for, the ones he called......friends. After about a minute, they all reach Tim)

Kaoru: Hey Tim, how are you doing?

Tim: Better!

Kaoru: That's good!!

Yahiko: Hey Tim!!

Tim: Hey Yahiko!!

Yahiko: Ummm......I know it's a little sudden, but.....

Tim: Alright, I'll tell you, but how about I tell everyone.

Yahiko: Okay!

(They go inside the inn then sit down to listen to Tim's story of how his world his. When he was done, everyone clapped. They were proud of how Tim told it.....and how he prevailed over the evil that threatened Japan. For the rest of the day, they hung out and talked, then after dinner, they all went to bed, but Tim stayed up)

Tim: (outside the inn, sitting down. It's all quiet and the only light around is the one from inside the inn and the little lamps outside) Mom, dad.......

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Oh, Misao?

Misao: (sits down next to him) What's wrong?

TIm: I'm just thinking over all that's happened......and all that will happen in the future.

Misao: Like what?

Tim: Well, I can name one thing right away.

Misao: What?

Tim:.......Marrying you.

Misao: Yeah, I'd like that.

Tim: We should plan it soon.

(They look at each other, then they quickly look away)

Tim: (clears throat) Anyhow, we're going back to Tokyo tomorrow, right?

Misao: Yep!

Tim: That's good!

(And so they sit there for a good amount of the night looking up at the stars, thinking of the future)

(In the morning)

(Outside the inn, everyone is gathered to see Kenshin and the others leave)

Kaoru: Well, we're be going now!

Okina: Alright then!! Have a safe journey back home!

Kaoru: Thanks, we will!

Okina: Oh, and Misao?

Misao: Yes?

Okina: I hope you and Tim make a great couple!

Misao: (looks at Tim) Thanks, I think we will!

Yoshi: Bye Tim!

Tim: Bye Yoshi!

Kaoru: Goodbye!

All: Bye!!

(They leave)

Kaoru: That was quite an adventure, wasn't it? It brought back memories of the time I waited for Kenshin coming back from killing Shishio.

Tim: Yes......that's true, and you were very happy to see him.

Kaoru: Yes I was!

Tim: (smiles, then to himself) Once again, I'm surprised I'm here, talking with my friends, having fun, and......laughing. Also, something is about to happen which I didn't think would happen till I was about 20, but......I'm going to be marrying Misao.

(About 2 1/2 hours later)

(In front of the Kamiya Dojo)

Kaoru: Well, we're home!!

Tim: Home.....Yes, home!!

End of Act II and part 2
Act III premieres Wednesday

http://www.rpgdreamer.com/music/xeno/X53.mid-If it doesn't work, do the same as last chapter, but go to Music Box.

Act III: Future
Chapter 1: Reflections: A Sad Boy's Past

(1 week after getting back from Kyoto)

(Everyone just finished dinner and they're about to clean up the dojo.)

Kaoru: Alright everybody, ready to clean up?

Yahiko: (weakly) Yes.....

Kaoru: What was that, Yahiko?!

Yahiko: Yes ma'am!!

Kaoru: That's better! Okay Kenshin, you do the laundry, Yahiko and Sano, you clean the dishes, Ayame and Suzume, you can clean the floors, and Tim, you can.....Huh?! (looks around) Hey, where did Tim go?!

Misao: He said he went down to the riverbed to think things over.

Kaoru: Oh, could you go get him please?

Misao: Sure!

(Riverbed)

Tim:.........Mom, dad, can you hear me?.......It's me. I think I found where I belong. It's here, among my friends, and my future wife. We're already starting to show love for each other because we have a daughter now. She means a lot to us. I think.....

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Uh.....(looks behind him) Misao?

Misao: What's wrong?

Tim: Just.....thinking over things.

Misao: (sits down next to him) Like what?

Tim: My past, present, and future.

Misao: Me too.

Tim: You too?!

Misao: Of course, we all do silly!

Tim: Want to talk about it?

Misao: I'd love too. You start.

Tim: Where should I start?

Misao: How about your past?

Tim: Alright. Okay, I was born.....Oh yeah?!

Misao: What?

Tim: What's today?

Misao: I think it's September 28th. Why?

Tim: My birthday was the 15th.......The day I returned to Kyoto.

Misao: It was?! How about that!

Tim: Yes......Anyhow, my past.

(Misao smiles)

Tim: Like I said, I was born September 15th, in the year 1987 in America, in a state surrounded by lakes. It's called Michigan and it's really beautiful. I was happy the first time I saw my parents. They made my life worthwhile till I started school, then that's when my life started turning into hell.

(Flashback of Tim being beat up in an alley far from where people are when he was 8 years old)

(Tim is being punched and kicked around by bullies. He's also being put in the trash, having dirty water poured on him and they're even peeing on him. Tim knew he would never win, so he just let them do what they wanted. He never cried till they left and was afraid to go to school later that week)

Tim: (after the bullies left) Why?! (sniff) Why must they do this?!

(His house)

(Then when his mom wasn't home when he was there alone with his dad, his dad would also abuse him while he was drunk, and then threatened to kill him if he ever told his mother about what he's been doing)

Tim: (after his dad leaves his room) My life sucks!!! (crying)

(End of flashbacks)

Misao: Oh Tim......

Tim: It's alright. I got used to that stuff after a while.

Misao: How can you be used to all that?! It's torture!!

Tim: It was happening to me everyday, so I knew what was to come, and what the effects were to be.

Misao: I still think you shouldn't be used to it.

Tim: Anyhow, back to what I was saying.

Misao: .......Forget it Tim. I don't want to hear anymore.

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

Misao: Tim, after hearing all that......it makes me want to marry you more.

Tim: ........

Misao: You need someone in life that'll take care of you, cherish you, and love you. Someone that you can trust.

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

Misao: (lays on Tim's shoulder) I love you Tim.

Tim: ...........(smiles) I love you too.......Misao.

A theif is robbing the Akabeko, a restaurant in downtown Tokyo, and also, Tai, a waitress there, is going to be killed. Tim goes to take care of it, but it seems someone has their eyes set on him. Will Tim make it in time before Tai is killed and the Akabeko is robbed?!

Next time: Save the Akabeko!!! : Kenwadan Attacks!!

You won't want to miss it!!!

Now, on to part 1 of 2 of the Kenwadan chapters!!!

Act III: Future
Chapter 2: Save the Akabeko:Kenwadan Attacks

(The dojo during lunchtime)

Kaoru: So everybody, how is it?

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

Kaoru: Come on, don't be nervous. Say something already!!

Tim: Ummmm.........

Kaoru: Yes Tim?

Tim: THIS IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!

Kaoru: It is!! Finally, someone agrees, including Kenshin!

Tim: You too?

Kenshin: Of course.

Tim: Hmmmm......

Yahiko: Tim, how can you like this crud?!

Kaoru: UUURRGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (throws bowl in Yahiko's face)

Yahiko: OWWWW!!!!!

Tim: Heh!! Busted!!

Yahiko: Ah, shut up!!

(Everyone laughs)

????: Excuse me?!

Kaoru: Huh?!

(Someone has opened the dojo doors and is standing in the opening)

Yahiko: Hey, it's Tsubame!!

(Tsubame is a 11-year-old who works at a restaurant in donwtown Tokyo called the Akabeko. Everyone goes out to her.)

Tsubame: You have to help us!!

Kaoru: What's wrong?

Tsubame: The Kenwadan are robbing the Akabeko!!

Kenshin: The Kenwadan?!

Sano: Those guys from the dog incident?!

(In episode 65 of Kenshin, a group of ruffians called the Kenwadan were looking for a dog that hid a key to a rich man's safe. The dog was found one night by Sano and he took him home with him to the dojo. He caused trouble when there, then he had to bring him to his house, even more trouble. Later on, Kenshin and Sano ran into the Kenwadan and prevented them from taking the dog.)

Tsubame: They're also threatening to kill Miss Tae!! (another waitress who is about 23)

Kenshin: What?!

(Tim suddenly starts running out)

Kaoru: Tim?!

Kenshin: Wait Tim!!

(Tim suddenly stops)

Tim: What?!

Kenshin: Take this!! (he throws his reverse-blade sword to Tim) You aren't fighting Shishio anymore, use that!!

Tim: Thanks!!

(He then leaves)

Misao: Be careful Tim!!

Tim: I will!!!!!

(3 miles down the road)

Tim: Boy, those guy's didn't learn from the last time?! Well, they'll get what they deserve! Uahhh....

(Suddenly, in an intersection of 2 alleys and the road, someone in a dog mask jumped down from the roof)

Tim: Uhh......

????: You must be Tim Ouellette, am I right?!

Tim: What if I am?!

????: We, the Kenwadan, will go down in history for killing one of the strongest ever!!

Tim: I doubt it! You can try, but you won't defeat me!

????: Oh, won't we?! (pause) Okay!!!

Tim: Huh?!

(Suddenly, Kenwadan members appear on ALL sides of Tim, even above him on the roofs)

Tim: Damn!!!

????: You better say your prayers now, for you WON'T have a chance too later!!

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

(And so, Tim has gone to investigate the robbery, but the members that aren't part of it, have come to distract Tim. Will Tim be able to get out of this bad predicament before something bad happens? Find out.......next time!!!

:cry: POOR TIM!!!!!!!!!

dun dun dun!!!!!

Here's the LONG conclusion!! Enjoy!!

(As Tim and the others were enjoying themselves at the dojo, Tsubame, a waitress at the Akabeko, came and notified them of a robbery being done by the Kenwadan. Tim decided to help, but with the reverse-blade sword. As Tim was heading towards the Akabeko, he was stopped by a member of them and then was surrounded by all sides! What will Tim do now?)

Act III: Future
Chapter 3: Special Surprise: A Victory to the One

Man: What are you going to do now, huh?! You're surrounded on all sides!!

Tim: Oh, I'll think of something, count on it!!

Man: I'm not going to count nothing except the number of times a sword cuts you! Alright men, ready?!

Men: Ready!!

Man: ATTACK!!!!!

(They all charge for Tim)

Tim: (himself) Dammit!! What am I going to do?!

(CLING CLANG CLING CLANG)

(Tim is blocking as many sword attacks as he can, trying not to get slashed)

Tim: (to himself) I can't......ugh.....keep this up!!

(SLASH!!!!!)

(Tim get's slashed in the back. He screams then falls to the ground)

Man: He's down!! Get him!!

????: Hold it right there!!

Man: Huh?!

All: Wha?!

(We are shown a well-built man who's wearing a white cape with a ponytail. He is also holding a sword)

Man: Who the hell are you?!

????: You won't be alive long enough to remember my name!

Man: You bastard!! Men, get him instead!!

All: (charging at the man) AAHHHHH!!!!!!

(SSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!

!!!!!!!!!)

Men: Uughh.....

(What just happened is the mysterious swordsman defeated ALL the men with one blow!!!)

Man: That's........impossible!! How the hell did you do that?!

(The mysterious swordsman starts walking towards him)

Man: Wait, let's talk this over, okay?!

(SLASH!!!!! The swordsman cuts the guys head off)

????: Hhmphh.....!!! (he goes over to Tim) Are you alright, young one?

Tim: Ohh......

????: Are you okay?

Tim: I've had worse......thanks. The cut wasn't that deep.

????: That's good. Can you walk?

Tim: Yeah, I.....(he then get's a good look at the man) Holy smokes, you're Seijiro Hiko!!

Seijiro: You know me?

Tim: I know you from Kenshin Himura.

Seijiro: Are you friends with him?

Tim: Actually, I live with him at the Kamiya dojo with my other friends.

Seijiro: That's nice. (helps Tim up) Anyhow, what are you up to?

Tim: There's a restaurant called the Akabeko being robbed and I was on my way there till I was ambushed by these freaks!

Seijiro: Do you need any help?

Tim: Sure!

(Okay, here's a basic summary on Seijiro Hiko. He is 43 years old and is one of many swordsmen who has been practicing and using the Hiten Mitzirugi style of swordsmenship. He met Kenshin, who was 10 years old, then accepted him as a student to learn the Hiten Mitzirugi after his trader family was killed. After learning it then being away from his master for a while, he met him again when he was on his way to Kyoto to fight Shishio. He taught him something else while he was there. It's called the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, an attack that targets every part of the body and defeats the opponents in one blow, which Seijiro Hiko just used now)

Side-note: Kenshin's original name was Shinta. Seijiro gave him the name Kenshin because he thought Shinta was too soft for a swordsman.

(The Akabeko)

Man: Alright men, we got all the loot!! Now, kill the woman!!

All: Right!!!

Tae: No, don't!!!

Man: 1....... (raises dagger)

Tae: No, please!!

Man: 2........

Tae: NOOOO!!!!!!!

Man: 3!!!!! (starts lowering it)

Tae: AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Tim: Hey!!!!!

Man: Huh?! Who the hell are you?!

Tim: Tim Ouellette!!

Man: Oh, (throws Tae to the ground) the one I ordered my men to kill, huh?

Tim: That's right!!

Man: It seems that they have failed me!

Tim: You're definetely right on that!

Man: I guess I'll have to finish the work that they started, because it seems you got hurt, didn't you?!

Tim: A little.

Man: How about I make it complete!! Men, ATTACK!!!!!

Tim: Alright then!! (leads them outside then turns left) Bring it on!! (unsheathes Kenshin's sword)

Man: You're dead!!

Seijiro: Are you sure about that?!

Man: Now what?!

(Seijiro shows up on the other side of them on the road)

Man: What do YOU want?!

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

Man: Uughhh......Huh?!

(The man notices that him and his men are cornered by Tim and Seijiro)

Man: You guy's are really pissing me off!! MEN, GET THEM, NOW!!!!!

(The men attack Tim and Seijiro)

Tim and Seijiro: Hhmphh......!!!!!

(SLISH SLASH SLISH SLASH)

(Seijiro and Tim use their skillful sword skills to take care of them)

Man: Dammit!! I'm out of here!!

(He goes to run but Tim steps in his way)

Man: AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Where do you think you're going?!

(He brings his sword down on his shoulder. He then passes out)

Tim: Well, that take's care of Kenwadan!

Tae: (coming out of the Akabeko) Thank you Sir Tim, thank you so much!!

Tim: You're welcome. It was no problem. I had a little help.

Tae: Oh? (she looks at Seijiro) Who are you?

Seijiro: I am Seijiro Hiko. I am Kenshin Himura's master.

Tae: Hi, and thank you too.

Seijiro: You're welcome.

Tim: Well, I better go. Everyone back at the dojo must be worried about me. Besides, I need my wounds treated. Bye!! (He leaves)

Seijiro: Goodbye my friend!!

Tae: See you later!!

(The dojo)

Kenshin: Tim, are you alright?!

Tim: Yeah, I'm fine. The pain doesn't compare to my fight with Shishio.

Yahiko: So, how did it go?

(Tim tells his story)

All: Seijiro Hiko?!

Kenshin: I wonder what my master is doing here?

????: What else?!

Kenshin: Oro?! (Okay, he says this when he's confused about stuff)

Seijiro: To visit!

Kenshin: Heh! Of course.

(And so ends the battle with Kenwadan, but what other adventures await Tim and the others? Stay tuned.......

Next time-Letter:A Congratulations from the Police

You won't want to miss it!!!

Act III: Future
Chapter 4: Letter: A Congratulations from the Police

(The dojo 2 days later in the late afternoon)

Kaoru: Dinner's almost ready everyone!!

Yahiko: (sarcastically) Woo-hoo, can't wait to eat!!

Kaoru: What was that, Yahiko?!

Yahiko: I said, "Alright, let's eat!"

Kaoru: Good! (notices that Tim is gone) Ummm......does anyone know where Tim went?

Misao: He said he went to the Akabeko.

Kaoru: Why is that?

Misao: Just too talk with Tae and Tsubame.

Kaoru: About what? The incident 2 days ago?

Misao: Yeah.

Kaoru: Okay, I guess we'll wait for him.

(20 minutes later)

Tim: I'm back everyone!

Kaoru: Welcome back Tim, how did it go?

Tim: Not much. They thanked me for the other day and we also had some general conversations over tea.

Kaoru: Oh, okay! (she then notices an envelope in Tim's hand) What's that?

Tim: Oh, this? It's a letter from the police.

Kenshin: The police?

Tim: Probably just a letter of thanks for getting rid of Shishio.

Kaoru: Probably.

Kenshin: How about we read it out loud?

Tim: Okay!

(He opens it and gives it to Kaoru to read because Tim isn't all that good with Japanese yet)

Kaoru: Dear Sir Tim Ouellette,

We humbly thank you for helping us get rid of the evil dictator Makoto Shishio. You have helped us save the future of Japan once again. We also thank Miss Misao for her help too. Those two made a great team together and I hope that they have a great time together. We hope to see you again soon. Bye!!

Sincerely,

Cheif Miraki

Kaoru: That's nice!

Tim: Yes, I'm proud.

Kenshin: So, what do you think of the future?

Tim: I'm not sure, but......(looks at Misao who is next to him) even though I'm fighting, Misao will always be there for me.

Misao: Tim........

Kaoru: Well, dinner's ready! Wanna eat?

Tim:.......Yes, of course.

(The dojo)

Kaoru: (walking into Tim's room) Hey Tim? Tim?!

Tim: Huh?

Kaoru: We're going now.

Kaoru: What?

(Tim starts snoring)

Kaoru: (at the top of her lungs) TIM, WAKE UP!!!!!

Kaoru: So, what shall we do first?

Ayame: EAT!!!

Suzume: HAUNTED HOUSE!!!

Sano: You know, Tim doesn't seem like himself today.

Kaoru: I noticed too.

Tim: I'm just tired!!

Misao: What did you do last night anyways?

Tim: I practiced my sword skills.

Misao: That's it then.

Tim: Yeah.....

Kaoru: Maybe the festival will wake you up.

Misao: (is suddenly holding a bucket of cold water) How about I pour this on him?

Tim: Hey, no, get away!!

Misao: I'm going to get you!!

(Misao starts chasing after Tim. Everyone starts laughing)

(For a good 3-4 hours, Tim and the others had fun, and when eating, Tim fell asleep and Misao saw the chance of pouring cold water on him. When she did, Tim woke up and started chasing Misao around. Everyone once again laughed, then they head home.)

(The dojo)

Kaoru: Well, we're home!!

Tim: Good night.

Kaoru: Already?

Tim: Yeah. (he goes into his room)

Kaoru: Let's hope he's not sleepy tomorrow, because it's clean-up day! Heh heh heh!!!

(Everyone is outside)

Kaoru: So, what should we do till we start cleaning?

Kaoru: Not a bad idea!

Tim: Mmm-hmm!!!

Kenshin: All we have to do is wait for Sano.

Tim: Right!! Well, want me to go on ahead? I might run into him.

Kenshin: That's fine.

Tim: Alright, see you all there!

All: OK!!

(He leaves)

Tim: (sighs) What a week!

(After walking about 2 miles, he suddenly hears a scream)

????: Ahhhh!!!!!! No, stay away!!

Tim: Huh?! (He runs towards the scream. He turns the corner and then see's 3 men pushing a little 14-year-old girl around.)HEY!!!!!

Men: Huh?!

Tim: Who the hell do you think you are?!

Man 1: Who the hell do you think YOU are?! This doesn't involve you!! Go away!!

Tim: Oh yes it does involve me, while you are hurting that innocent girl!!

Man 2: We're not hurting her, we're just showing her who's boss!!

Tim: What do you mean?!

Man 3: We're her older brothers!!

Tim: What has she done wrong so that you can hurt her?!

Man 1: It doesn't involve you like we said, SO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!

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

Man: You damn brat!! Guys, get him!!

(They draw their swords, then charge at jump at Tim with swords raised)

Tim:.....Pitiful! (unsheathes sword and slashes them in midair with god-like speed) Note: Remember, he's using the reverse-blade sword (The men fall to the ground)

Tim: Hhmphh....That'll teach you!! (looks at the girl who is scared and crying. Tim goes over to her) You alright?

Girl: Who.....are you?

Tim: Don't worry. I won't hurt you.

Girl: What did you do to my brothers?

Tim: I just knocked them out because.....(unsheathes sword a little).....this is a reverse-blade sword.

Girl: Reverse-blade?

Tim: It can't kill anyone.

Girl: So, my brothers aren't dead?

Tim: No. Anyhow, why are you worried about them? They were just hurting you.

Girl: Even so, I care for them.

Tim: (smiles) Boy, you're one of the weirdest people I've ever met!

Girl: Hhmph!!

(They're quiet for a minute)

Tim: So, what are you going to do now?

Girl: I'm not sure.

Tim: I forgot to ask, what's your name?

Girl: It's Sara Sayaki.

Tim: Nice name.

Sara: Thanks, what's yours?

Tim: Tim Ouellette

Sara: That's nice too.

Tim: Thanks! So, what ARE you going to do now?

Sara: Well.......

Tim: Want to come with me?

Sara: What do you mean?

Tim: Want to come live with me and my friends?

Sara: Well......

Tim: Listen, I know you love your brothers no matter what, but still......I fear for your safety.

Sara:........

Tim: Well?

Sara:.......I might give it a try.

Tim: Good. Here, I'll help you up.

(As Tim helps Sara up, he blushes then suddenly pulls back his hand. The same is with Sara.)

Tim: Well, shall we go?

Sara:......Alright.

(Back at the dojo)

Tim: I'm back everyone!!

Kaoru: Hello Tim! Why are you back already?

Tim: I ran into trouble and........

Misao: Hey Tim, I.....(she suddenly see's Sara) Excuse me, but who's that?

Tim: This is Sara Sayaki.

Misao: Oh, you know her name, huh?!

Tim: It's nice to know someone's name......

Misao: (interrupts Tim).........so you can like her!!

Tim: Huh?!

Misao: You've been hitting on a girl while I wasn't knowing, have you?!

Tim: No, I.......!!

(BOOM!!!!!)

(Misao punches Tim hard on the side of the face and sends him flying)

Misao: I can't believe you Tim!!

Tim: Listen, I......!!!

Sara: Excuse me?!

Tim: Hmmm?

Sara: Can I make something clear here, please?!

Misao: What, that you like Tim?!

Tim and Sara: NO!!!!!

Misao: Oh......

(Sara tells her story, then.....)

Sara: Well?!

Misao: I guess I owe an apology then. Sorry. (goes over to Sara) The name's Misao Makimachi.

Sara: Nice to meet you.

(They shake hands)

Misao: (goes over to Tim) And I'm sorry, Tim, for hitting you.

Tim: That's alright. Now I know how Kenshin felt when he was in the same situation when he brought Megumi here.

(It was episode 8 when this happened. It was during the time when Aoshi was introduced. Megumi was forced to make opium for a man named Kanryu Takada who was a money addict. What happened was Megumi ran away from his mansion and then was being chased by some of his bodyguards. Megumi found Kenshin when she was hiding then went to the dojo with him to hide and Kaoru thought that Kenshin was hitting on her and hit him a lot of times with a wooden sword on the head.)

Kenshin: Oh yeah, THAT!! Heh heh!!!

Kaoru: Yep! You were lucky to just get a bruise when I punched you.

Kenshin: Heh heh!!!

Sano: Hey, everybody ready?!

Kaoru: It's Sano!

Sano: What's going on?

Kaoru: We'll explain on the way.

Sara: Can I come?

Kaoru: Of course.

Sara: Thanks! (So, we close with another person staying at the Kamiya Dojo, Sara Sayaki.)

Next time-Mystery:What Happened to Sojiro?

lol >D i love parts like that.

Misao pouring water on Tim and Misao slugging Tim because she thought he was hitting on Sara, right?

tottaly! =^.^=

Act III: Future
Chapter 7: Mystery: What Happened to Sojiro?

(At the dojo in the living room the next day, everyone is drinking tea, except for Sara, who is playing ball with Ayame and Suzume outside.)

Kaoru: So, what's up everyone?

Kenshin: Not much.

Sano: Same here.

Misao: Same.

Yahiko: Same.

Tim: .........

Kaoru: Oh Tim, what's wrong?

Tim: Nothing. I've been thinking about something.

Kaoru: What?

Tim: Do you remember Sojiro?

Yahiko: Sojiro? Oh yeah, that kid. What DID happen to him?

Tim: I'm not really sure. In our last battle, we decided to become friends after our fight and never to fight each other anymore.

(Flashback)

(Tim and Sojiro are fighting, till......)

Tim: I have a question.

Sojiro: What is it, may I ask?

Tim: Could you, after this, become my friend?

Sojiro: Your....friend?

Tim: Yes, I know you'd like one.

Sojiro: A friend?

Tim: So, how about it?

Sojiro: I.......

Tim: Please?

Sojiro: I'll.......think about it.

Tim: Thanks!!

(After fighting more, Tim got the chance to hit Sojiro in the back of the neck)

Tim: That was a good fight Sojiro. I'll see you later......friend.

(End flashback)

Kaoru: Boy, so that's what happened.

Tim:.......Yes.

Kenshin: Yes, I do wonder where he went, that I do.

(We are suddenly shown a boy in Kyoto, in the rain while walking in the streets)

????: What to do? I don't know what to do!! (He then starts crying)

Next time: Everyone starts preparing for the big day!!

could it be..Soujiro!? did i spell that right! ..-__-;;; big day..as in wedding day?

You guessed it right!! The wedding is coming up!!

(October 12th, 1878)

(The dojo)

Misao: Tim? Hey Tim, where are you?

Tim: I'm in here!!

Misao: Oh. (opens Tim's door) You ready?

Tim: Yep!

Misao: Alright then, let's go!

Act III: Future
Chapter 8: Plans for the Future: A Bondage Between a Man and a Woman

(Tokyo marketplace)

Tim: What type of flowers do you want, Misao?

Misao: How about lilacs and roses?

Tim: Okay then! We'll take 3 purple lilacs and 5 roses, please.

Flower seller: Okay! (get's flowers) Here you go. That'll be 10 zennys please.

Misao: Here you go!

Flower seller: Thank you! Come again!

Tim and Misao: Now what?

Misao: Food?

Tim: Okay!

(The Akabeko)

(Walking in the entrance)

Tim: Excuse me, Miss Tae?

Tae: Oh, hi Sir Tim, what is it?

Tim: Could we buy some food from you for our wedding?

Tae: Of course! What would you want?

Tim: Probably some rice balls, sushi, tofu, that sort of stuff. Maybe even some beef stew.

Tae: That'll be alright. Besides, it's your wedding. We want you two to be happy.

Tim and Misao: Thank you!!

Tae: It might take a while to get everything ready, so how about you guys go do something until then?

Tim: Okay!

Misao: See ya!

(They leave)

Tae: ......Those two make a great couple, but that's what I said about Kenshin and Kaoru. Ahhh......whatever.

(The riverbed)

Tim: Everytime I come here, it's always so peaceful.

Misao: You think so too, huh?

Tim: Yeah.

Misao: Come to think of it, I can't think of any other place as peaceful as this.

Tim: Yeah.

(Pause)

Tim: You know, I was thinking.

Misao: About what?

Tim: About the first time I saw you in my world, when I just saw you as a character in a show, which you are, but then started admiring you. If it wasn't for the journey I previously took, I wouldn't have met you in person. I hate to admit it, but I'll have to thank Shishio for that.

Misao: Don't even think about it!!

Tim: Why not?

Misao: Why the hell would you want to thank a scumbag like him, even if you can't, because he's dead!

Tim: That's true.

(Both laugh)

Tim: I can still remember when I first met you, which was about 1 month ago, September 10th.

(Flashback)

(Tim is sleeping till someone comes)

Misao: Hello, hello?

Tim: Oh......

Misao: Who are you?

Tim: I'm Tim. And who......Huh?!

Misao: Is something wrong?

Tim: Well.....no.

Misao: Good! Well anyhow, the names Misao Makimachi, pleased to meet you!

(End flashback)

Misao: Yep. You certainly were good at acting till I suddenly caught on to your little act.

Tim: Yep, I remember that well.

(Flashback)

Misao: So, what are you doing?

Tim: I'm going to go visit family.

Misao: With a sword?

Tim: It's for protection.

Misao: ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!!!!!

Tim: What?!

Misao: You're him, aren't you?!

Tim: Who?!

Misao: The mysterious boy on his way to Kyoto from Tokyo, right?!

Tim: How did you know?!

Misao: It's obvious because you're the only one on the road that I've seen so far.

(End flashback)

Tim: You sure were on to me, weren't you?

Misao: Guess I was. (yawn) I'm tired for some reason.

Tim: Shouldn't we go home then?

Misao: No, that's alright, let's stay here a while longer where it's peaceful. (lays her head on Tim's shoulder and closes her eyes)

Tim: (smiles) Alright then.

(20 minutes later)

Tim: Misao?

Misao: (weakly) Yes?

Tim: We're going to leave now.

Misao: Alright......I'll lay on you as we walk.

Tim:.......Okay.

(They get up)

Tim: Here we go.

Misao: Alright.

(Down the road from the dojo)

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Yeah?

Misao: What about the food at the Akabeko?

Tim: I'll get it while you take a nap, okay?

Misao: Okay.......thanks.

Tim: (smiles) Well, we're here.

(Opens doors)

Tim: I'm back everybody!

Yahiko: Hey Tim. Ummm.....what's wrong with Misao?

Tim: She's just tired. I'll go lay her down.

(Takes her to his bedroom)

Tim: Here Misao.

(Misao lays down and Tim covers her up)

Misao: Thanks Tim.....I love you.

Tim: I love you too.......Misao. (leans down to kiss her on the cheek) I'll be back with the food. (He leaves the room and stands outside, looking at the sky) Tomorrow......I become a man.

Next time: The big day!!!

Misao: I'm just nervous.

Tim: Don't worry, I am too.

Misao: I never thought this day would come so soon.

TIm: Me too, heh.

(They both look at each other)

Misao: Tim......

Tim: Misao........

Kaoru: Okay guys, ready?

Tim and Misao: Yeah!!

Kaoru: Then come on up!

(They start walking in the middle towards where Kaoru is where she will declare their marriage)

Kaoru: So, shall we get started?

(Tim and Misao look at each other)

Tim:........

Misao:........

Tim: Yes......we're ready.

Kaoru: Alright then. I'm not sure if it's necessary to say everything because of what we've seen what you guy's can do together, so I'll just say this;will you, Tim Ouellette, take Misao Makimachi to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health?

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

Kaoru: And do you, Misao Makimachi, take Tim Ouellette to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health?

(Kaoru then walks over to Kenshin, crying)

(And we close on Tim and Misao kissing, wishing for a very happy life together in the future......forever.)

Next time: Season finale!!!

Act III: Future
Chapter 10: Prelude to Revenge

(April 22nd, 1879)

(It has been close to 6 months since Tim and Misao married and celebrated the victory over Shishio. They are still living at the Kamiya Dojo with Kenshin and the others and plan on it for as long as they can. Since Shishio, Tim and the others have had no trouble with anything but having fun and hanging out with each other, but that's ALL about to change.......definetely.)

(The dojo at lunchtime)

Kaoru: So everyone, how is it?

All:.........

Kaoru: Don't be nervous. Say something already!!

Sano: It's like I've said before......DISGUSTING!!!!!

(Kaoru throws a bucket at Sano's head and he passes out)

Kenshin: Oro?!

Kaoru: Serves him right!!

(Everyone starts laughing)

Tim: Oh boy, this brings back memories from when I watched you guys, it sure does.

Kaoru: That's good to hear Tim!

(Everyone smiles)

Tim: After beating Shishio, memories have been filling my mind of this place from what I watched, and also.....memories of my time too.

Misao: What sort of memories?

Tim: Family.

Misao: That's nice.

Yahiko: What's your family like Tim?

Tim: It's pretty big, so there's a lot to name off, but I'll just say that I love them all.

Yahiko: Don't you miss them?

Tim:.........No, I don't. I like it here.

All:.........

Tim: Anyhow, I think I'll go for a walk. (gets up and takes Kenshin's sword) I'll be back in about a half-hour. (leaves)

Kaoru: Didn't he seem.......troubled by something?

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

(Downtown Tokyo)

Tim: Mom.......dad, can you hear me? You probably can't, but I'll say it anyways. I'm enjoying my stay here with my friends, with my wife. She's been with me everywhere I go, of course tagging along is our little daughter, Heather, who, you probably know, we rescued from a blown-up village. She just turned 8 and we'll be sending her to school soon. I know she'll have a great time, and......

Tsunan: Excuse me?!

Tim: Wha?! Tsunan, what is it?!

Tsunan: There's been a murder!!

Tim: Murder?! Where?!

Tsunan: Just down the road!!

Tim: Could you lead me to it?!

Tsunan: Yes!!

(The murder area)

Crowd: Oh boy! This is horrible! Who could've done this?!

(Tsunan and Tim join the crowd to see what has happened. What it is is a guy's body slashed and slaughtered soaked in blood)

Tim: (shocked) Oh my......GOD!!!!!

Tsunan: Horrible.....isn't it?!

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

Tsunan: ............

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

Tsunan: So, what are you thinking about?

Tim: .........I have to go tell Kenshin this! (runs off)

Tsunan: ...........

(The dojo)

Misao: Okay Heather, what number is this?

Heather: Eight!!

Misao: Good!!

(Tim suddenly bursts through the doors, breathless)

Kaoru: Tim, what is it?!

Tim: There's.....been a murder!!!

All: A murder?!

Tim: Kenshin, come with me!! The rest of you, stay here!! This is too sick you for guys!!

Misao: No, I'm going to!!

Tim: Are you sure? It might make you......

Misao: I can handle it.

Tim: ........Alright then, let's go!

(The murder area)

Kenshin: Who could've......done this?!

Misao: Aaaahhhh........!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: See Misao, I told you.

Misao: Oh.....it's so horrible! (hugs Tim and starts crying)

Tim: ........It's alright Misao. (to Kenshin) So Kenshin, what do you make of this?

Kenshin: I know it was someone with STRONG sword skills, but.....

????: Clear the way, please!!

Tim: Who's that?!

Kenshin: Oh, it's Saito!!

Saito: I heard what happened, and I asked the cheif if I could check it out myself. (looks at the corpse) So......this is what happened?

Kenshin: Yes......it's just horrible.

Misao: Only a person from hell would do this! What do you think Tim? (looks at Tim) Tim?

(Tim has this sort of serious, yet scary face. A face that seems like Tim is thinking really hard.)

Misao: Tim.......what is it?

Tim: I don't know. I just have this bad feeling about this.

Misao: What?

Tim: It's just.......a bad feeling.

Saito: ............

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

Misao: .........

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

TO BE CONTINUED IN SEASON 2

Next time: The time of revenge has come for the enemies from the past. Instead of coming after Kenshin, they are to go after Tim and make Kenshin suffer the loss of a friend. Will Tim prevail over the enemies of revenge?! Find out next time........in the Revenge Saga!!!

dun dun dun!!! >.< ewww..yuck. em i talkin about the blood or the kissyness? YOULL NEVER KNOW! >D AHAHAHAHA!!!!

LOL

Well everyone, season 2 will start up soon and along with it, a picture of the main character, Tim. I personally asked Yume Koorime to draw it and I know she'll do a great job. Can't wait to see it Yume!!! (would like to use your real name, but well, you know.) LOL XD

Now for the action-packed, killer, yet traumatic season 2.Just like it said in chapter 10, season 2 takes place a little over 6 months later.

I noticed a mistake I made in describing an attack in chapter 3 of act 3. If you remember from when Seijiro Hiko came in, I meant to put down that he used something called Kuzu Ryu Sen, not Amakakeru Ryo no Hirameki. More on the Hirameki later.

Last time: A boy named Tim Ouellette showed up in 1878 Japan from his time 2004 America. After meeting Kenshin, he went to the Kamiya Dojo and met his friends. Then, he fought Gohei Hiruma, then also learned of Makoto Shishio's strange return. He immediately went on a journey to try and stop him. Along the way, he met many friends and fought many enemies. The first friend he met was a girl ninja, Misao Makimachi, who is from Kyoto, where Tim was heading. Soon after meeting each other, Tim asked Misao to marry him and she accepted. Other than that, Tim has met Yoshi, Anji, and a little girl named Heather, who Tim and Misao took in as their own daughter because she had nowhere to go. One of Tim's enemies was Sojiro, the right-hand man to Shishio. They fought twice and as warriors would. During their first fight, Tim was wounded pretty badly, then during round 2, towards the end, they decided to melee fight, and Tim won both the fight......and a friend. Soon after, Tim and Misao arrived in Kyoto. They went to Misao's home at the Oniwaban Group headquarters. Before heading towards the final fight with Shishio, 2 men waiting for them caused trouble. One started a fire at the headquarters and one fought Tim using a "balloon" monster that was no trouble for him. Then, after finding out where Shishio was, Tim and Misao set off. During the fight, Shishio showed off some techniques that seemed deadly. It was one of them that caused Tim to almost lose his life......again. When Tim was unconcious and thought to be dead, Misao stepped in to try and stop Shishio herself, until Misao almost got killed and Tim was back on his feet. Shishio did one final charge and Tim avoided it then stabbed his sword through Shishio's chest. He was beaten. After this, Tim and Misao went home with their friends and married each other and hoped for a bright and peaceful future. But now, the quiet times have ended, because someone is planning revenge, and Tim and his friends will do all they can to stop whoever is behind a murder that recently happened. And so begins, Season 2!!!

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 1: Search for the Killer

(Late in the afternoon the next day at the dojo)

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

Misao: How do you think Tim is?

Kaoru: I'm not sure. He HAS been acting weird since yesterday.

Misao:..........Do you think he's thinking over who killed that man?

Kaoru: Probably, but it seems like such a big deal to him.

Misao: I wonder why?

Kenshin:...........Hmmm?

Kaoru: Is there something troubling you, Kenshin?

Kenshin: I'm just thinking.

Kaoru: About the same thing?

Kenshin: Yes.

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

(Tim suddenly comes out of his room)

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

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

Tim: (has a worried, yet scary face on him) Misao, I'm going to the police station. You stay here.

Misao: But Tim, I can help!!

Tim: Please, just stay here!!

Misao: But........

(Tim leaves)

Misao: But Tim.....

Kaoru: ..........

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

(The police station)

(Tim walks into the cheif's office)

Kowaji: Oh, Sir Tim, can I help you?

Tim: Yes, I'm here to talk about the murder.

Kowaji: What would you like to know?

Tim: I might know who the killer is.

Kowaji: You do?!

Tim:I've thought about it over a long period of time and I remember seeing the wounds on the victim. I compared them to others from the battles I've seen before, and I came up with possibly 2. One of them is it.

Kowaji: And who are your 2 suspects?

Tim: One is Raijuta.

Kowaji: Raijuta, him again?!

Tim: Yes.

Kowaji: And who is the other one?

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

Kowaji: What? What is it?

Tim: I wouldn't think it would be him, but it seems like it.

Kowaji: Well, who is it?

Tim: It's (blocked).

Kowaji: That can't be!! You.......

Tim: Yes, I know.

Kowaji: How could it be possible?

Tim: I'm probably the reason.

Kowaji: Why do you think it's you?

Tim: I........haven't figured that out yet.

Kowaji: .......So, what else is there to know?

Tim: We have to find out where both of them are located, and punish them.

Kowaji: Yes, that's true, but do we have any leads?

Tim: I know of one.

Kowaji: What?

Tim: Raijuta might be in Izu, just like last time, and the other one........I'm not sure.

Kowaji: Hmmm......Well, for Raijuta, why would he be there? There's nothing else for him to do there.

Tim: He might be trying to build his kingdom still?

Kowaji: All by himself?!

Tim: Probably.

(In the show, Raijuta is a strong swordsman, who used the Tobe Azuna, which he taught to Shishio. He had the intention of taking away a young boy's land from him and turning it into his own kingdom. The boy was Yutaro Tsukiyama, a 10-year-old boy who was the master of Tsukiyama mansion and owner of a huge amount of land in Izu. He became master after his mother and father died. Yutaro was into swordsmanship and was looking for a teacher that was just like his father who was known as the "thunder god" with his sword. When Kenshin and the others showed up to spend a vacation in Izu, trouble started brewing. After an argument between them and Yutaro, who is bratty at the beginning, he went on a horse ride, then was ambushed by swordsmen. Then, a guy, Raijuta Isurugi, came to the "rescue". After seeing the techniques Raijuta used on the swordsmen, Yutaro decided that Raijuta become his teacher. In the end, Yutaro saw what a horrible man Raijuta was when he tried to stop a fight between him and Kenshin. His arm was cut open with Raijuta's Tobe Azuna attack with no blood coming out. Kenshin saw what technique Raijuta used, then defeated him. Afterwards, Yutaro went to Germany to get his arm fixed. And that's where he is now, learning to become a professional doctor. Also, when Raijuta was trying to take over Yutaro's land, he had followers of a sword style called the Shinko helping him.)

Kowaji: No one.....not even people from before using the Shinko style?!

Tim: Yes.

Kowaji: Then he must be stopped!!

Tim: Hold it!

Kowaji: What?

Tim: There's no need to send a police squad out there. I.......will take care of him personally.

Kowaji: .....But that's crazy!!

Tim: I know what to expect. Besides.......my battle with Shishio before has got me ready for anything. Anyhow, I'm not sure he's in Izu. I will check at first light tomorrow.

Kowaji: Good luck to you then!

Tim: Thank you sir.

(He leaves)

Kowaji: Well Tim, it seems you will become a legend.....just like Mr. Himura.

(The next morning)

Tim: Well everyone, I'm off!!

Kaoru: Please take care of yourself Tim.

Tim: Thanks, I'll make sure I will.

Kenshin: Good luck!!

Tim: Thanks!

(He then faces Misao)

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

Tim: .........

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

Tim: ......(smiles) Don't worry Misao. I'll come back, I promise.

Misao: .........(smiles, then hugs and kisses him) Okay.

Tim: Goodbye.

(He heads off)

Kaoru: That boy ceases to amaze me.

Kenshin: Yeah, not like in the beginning when fighting Gohei. All of a sudden, he obtained powers beyond his imagination, and he is protecting Japan with those powers.

Kaoru: Yeah.

Sano: He'll win.....I know it!!

Misao: ..........Yeah, he can. I believe in him.

TO BE CONTINUED

lol love the meatwad line! sure, call me whateva u want ^.^

Last time: After seeing the gruesome murder scene in Tokyo, Tim stayed in his room for a whiel thinking over what to do. He then came out and went to the police station to talk with Kowaji. Tim has come up with 2 suspects. One is Raijuta and the other is someone Tim wouldn't want to believe is it. Then, in the morning, Tim head for Izu, where he thinks Raijuta is waiting, rebuilding his kingdom.

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 2: The Killer is Located

(Tim is now about at the intersection of Izu and Kyoto)

Tim: You know, Yoshi's village isn't that far away from here. Maybe I'll pay him a visit.

(And so he does)

(Yoshi's house)

Yoshi: Oh, hi Tim! How are you doing?

Tim: Not bad. You?

Yoshi: Not much since you were here last time.

Tim: It's been a while, hasn't it?

Yoshi: So, what have you been up too?

Tim: Not much since I married Misao.

Yoshi: You seemed very happy that day.

Tim: I was......because I've finally found happiness.

Yoshi: (smiles) I'm glad.

Tim: Thanks!

Yoshi: So, where are you headed?

Tim: Izu.

Yoshi: For what?

Tim: .........Well........

Yoshi: You can tell me Tim.

Tim:..........To battle someone.

Yoshi: Who?

Tim: Possibly someone named Raijuta.

Yoshi: .........Raijuta. I know of him.

Tim: You do?!

Yoshi: Yes. He once came to our village. When he was here, he stole things without anyone knowing, but I knew, but I never told anyone, because I knew I'd probably be killed by him, by how strong he looked with his sword. It was well after a month that he left and headed for Izu.This was about 2 weeks ago. I was relieved he was gone.

Tim: I can see why.

Yoshi: I'm glad I didn't tell, or I'd be a dead man now.

Tim: Yep.

(They both laugh.)

Yoshi: Planning on staying long? It might rain, from the looks of it.

Tim: Maybe I'll stay for lunch, if that's alright.

Yoshi: Certainly.

(1 hour later after eating, it is raining)

Tim: Oh boy, you were right.

Yoshi: I usually am about these things. So, what are you going to do?

Tim: .........I think I should get going, or it might be too late.

Yoshi: Alright, I see. Good luck then........Oh yeah, here's a little bag of food for you.

Tim: Thanks!

Yoshi: You're welcome.

Tim: (extends hand) Thanks for everything!

Yoshi: You're welcome!

(They shake hands)

Tim: Well.......see ya!!

Yoshi: Bye!!

(Tim leaves)

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

(The intersection)

Tim: Well, on to Izu.

(And so, Tim ventures on)

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

????: Hello, hello?

Tim: Huh?

????: Hey, who are you?

Tim: Oh.......

????: Hello?

Tim: Misao?!

(He suddenly wakes up)

Tim: Misao?! Uhhh....(Tim suddenly finds out it was all a dream while sleeping under a tree) I swore I heard her. (He looks up at the sky) Well, it's stopped raining. (He get's up) Boy, everyone's probably worried about me. Well, there's no point in worrying. I'll return.......I promise!!

????: I know you will!!

Tim: ORO?!?!

(The person comes out of the woods)

Tim: Mi......Misao?!?!

(She walks up to him and slaps him)

Misao: How could I THINK of letting you go alone?! What the hell got into me?!

Tim: Uhhhh.......

Misao: What?! What is it?!

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

Misao: Tell me, dammit!!!

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

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

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

Misao: What?

Tim: I needed someone by my side.

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

Tim: Thanks for coming.......and slapping the crap out of me!

Misao: Uhhhh.....you're welcome.

Tim: (laughing)

Misao: (starts laughing too)

(After about a minute of laughing)

Tim: So, when did you leave?

Misao: Earlier this morning.

Tim: So, it WAS you I heard when I was sleeping!!

Misao: Huh? What are you talking about?

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

Misao: So, you stopped by too see Yoshi, right?

Tim: What is this?! Have you been spying on me?!

Misao: That's what ninjas do, right?

Tim: I guess you're right.

(Both laugh)

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

Izu

Tim: Well, we've arrived.

Misao: Looks like it. It's beautiful here.

Tim: Yeah. We should be very close to Tsukiyama mansion where Raijuta might be.

Misao: Are you sure he might be there?

Tim:..........Where else would he be?

Misao: I guess you have a point.

Tim: Then, let's go!!

Misao: Right!!

(Walking through the woods)

Misao: Tim.......why is it so quiet? I'm scared!! (hugs Tim)

Tim: Don't worry. I'll protect you.

Misao: Okay! I trust you!

(Tim smiles)

(They then come to a clearing in the woods where, when they look up, they can see the mansion on the hill)

Tim: There it is! Tsukiyama mansion!

Misao: It's so huge!!

Tim: We're almost there! Let's go!!

????: Hold it right there!!

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

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

(They both look behind them)

Tim: So.......it IS you!!

Chapter 3: The Battle Begins!!!

Tim: So......it IS you!!!

????: Heh heh!!!

Tim: Raijuta......

Raijuta: So......you know me?

Tim: Who wouldn't?

(I forgot to say Raijuta is about 2x taller than Tim so this will be tough and also, his age is unknown, but seems like he is 40.)

Raijuta: In place of the battousai, you have come instead?

Tim:..........That's right.

Raijuta: Then you're wasting your time. You will die!!

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

Tim: I think you're mistaken!! Those are my words!!

Raijuta: Oh......getting fiesty aren't we?

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

Raijuta: No matter! I'll put an end to that when I kill you!

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

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

Tim: Misao.......step back.

Misao: O.....okay.

(She goes into the woods)

Raijuta: Alright then, shall we begin?

Tim: .......Of course!!

(Charge, then they cross swords when they meet, and they hold it)

Raijuta: So, you still want to fight, even though you might lose?!

Tim: I know I won't lose, because.......I still have a life to live, that I do!

Raijuta: Lives are meaningless, unless you live by the sword!!

Tim: Then, you must live a pretty shitty life!!

Raijuta: Shut UP!!!

(Raijuta forces Tim back, then sends his sword towards TIm's head)

Raijuta: I got you!!!

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

(Tim suddenly disappears then shows up behind Raijuta)

Raijuta: Huh?! You little brat!!!

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

Raijuta: That doesn't matter!! It's just beginner's luck!!

Tim: Oh, I wouldn't say that!!

Raijuta: What do you know?!

Tim: A lot more than you do, big boy!!

Raijuta: BASTARD!!!!!

(Charging Tim)

Tim: (himself) Childish.......

Raijuta: AAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!(aiming for Tim's head again, but the same thing happens with Tim)

Tim: Is this all?! Is this what the "powerful" Raijuta can do?!

Raijuta: Son of a *****!!!

(charging again)

Tim: ........(himself) NOW!!!!

(Instead of going for the head, he does a straight slash down, but...)

Raijuta: Wha?! (his sword hits the ground) This is getting old!! Where are y......?!

(Tim suddenly slashes Raijuta across the back)

Raijuta: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: And to think I was worried.......fighting a weakling like you is a waste of my time!!

Raijuta: It's not over yet!!

Tim: Huh?!

Raijuta: I won't go down that easily!!

Misao: (herself) It's like.......he isn't feeling the effects of the slash, except for when he was feeling the sword cut him!

Raijuta: That attack did hurt, but I've learned to absorb all the pain into my sword, which makes my attacks more powerful!!

Tim and Misao: Uhhh......

Raijuta: That's right!! Everytime you hurt me, I become more powerful!!!

Tim: This.........is impossible!!

Raijuta: Oh, it's possible, and it's right in front of you!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Misao: Tim, get out of there!! You're going to be killed!!

Tim: No, I'm staying!!

Misao: What are you, nuts?! You can't kill him!! Everytime you hurt him, he get's more powerful!!

Tim: I might know of a way too beat him!!

Raijuta: I think you're bluffing!!

Tim: Oh, we'll see!!

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

Misao: Tim........

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

Raijuta: .........

Tim: Sword of Justice!!!

Raijuta: What?!

Misao: (herself) Heh, and I was worried!

(Tim jumps up in the air)

Tim: Prepare!!!

(Tim does the same thing as always, 2 diagonal slashes, a sideway slash, and straight-slash down, then.....)

Tim: Die!!!!!

(He sends the energy down, then he lands on his feet)

Raijuta: .........

Tim: There's NO WAY you can avoid it now!!

Raijuta: Oh?! (as the energy is about to hit him, he raises his sword, then suddenly CUTS THE ENERGY IN HALF!!!!!)

Tim: Uhhhhhhh?!

Misao: Ahhhhhhh?!

Raijuta: ......Hm hm hm hm hm!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! What the hell was THAT?!

Tim: Aaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Raijuta: And to think, that came from one of the strongest in Japan!

Misao: (herself) No, if THAT didn't work.....then Tim doesn't have a chance!!

Raijuta: Now....my turn!!!

Misao: .........TIM, GET OUT OF THERE!!!!!!

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

Raijuta: Tobe........Supernova!!!!!

(He jumps up in the air, extends sword out, then energy starts collecting at the tip of it, forming into a large ball)

RaijutaIE!!!!!!!!!!(he sends the energy down)

Misao: TTTTIIIIIMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(FLASH!!! BOOM!!!)

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

(After the smoke clears)

Misao: Oohhh......(cough, cough) Damn!! What hap.........Aaahh!!!!!

(There is a HUGE crater in the battlefield and TIm is nowhere in sight)

Misao: No.......no.......TIM!!!!!

Raijuta: It's no use......he's dead now!! Take a look!!

Misao: Uhhh.......(she heads for the edge of the crater, and.....) What?

Raijuta: Hmmm?

Misao: See what?

Raijuta: What?! (he heads for the edge too, and see's NOTHING!!!) Wh.....where is he?! Well, I probably destroyed him beyond words, have I?! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Misao: No....look!!! (points behind him)

Raijuta: Uuhhh......(looks)It.....can't be!!!!! You annoying son-of-a-*****!!!!!

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

Raijuta: How the hell could you have avoided it?!

Tim: It's just luck, that's all, and skill to go along with it!!

Raijuta: If you have skill, then what was up with your Sword of Justice thing?!

Tim: Even though both of our special attacks didn't do squat, there's still a chance that I'LL win!!

Raijuta: I doubt it!!

Tim: .......Let's just find out then, shall we?!

Misao: Come on Tim, you have him!!

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

Raijuta: ...........

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

Raijuta: .............

Misao: (to herself) Tim's got him, I know it!!

Tim: I'll let you have the next attack, if you want!

Raijuta: If you insist (extends sword), fine!!! (jumps in the air towards Tim) Here I come!!

Tim: Hhmphhh!!!!!

(CLANK!!!!! Raijuta's sword hit's the ground where Tim was standing, but then.....)

Raijuta: Got you!!! (he suddenly uses the Tobe Azuna towards where Tim was going to land)

Misao: TIM!!!!! Look out!!!

Tim: Uuhhh.....

Raijuta: HA HA HA!!!!!

Misao: No....!!!

(Tim tries to land faster, then when he does, he QUICKLY turns around, draws his sword, then cuts the Tobe Azuna in half)

Raijuta: Uugh...!!!

Misao: Alright!!!

Tim: (breathless) Heh heh!!! Thought you......had me, huh?!

Raijuta: You bastard!!! (charges uncontrollably at Tim)

Tim: It ends here!!!!! (charges at Raijuta too)

Misao: Tim!!!!!

Raijuta and Tim: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! (CCCCLLLAAANKKKK!!!!!!!) They cross swords very quickly then are ob opposite sides of each other, legs spread and swords extended out, a pose a lot of fighters do after a charge for a good minute, they just stand there, not moving an inch, till......)

Raijuta: Uahhauahh......(Raijuta collapses)

Tim: Heh!!! Owww.....(Tim falls to the ground)

Misao: Tim!!!!!! (she runs to him) Tim, are you alright?! Aahhh....(looks at his chest) Tim.......

Tim: I'm........alright, it's.......not that deep.

Misao: Can you move?

Tim: No.......I can't.

Misao: Then let me carry you home!

Tim: No......just leave me!

Misao: No, you're not leaving me!!

Tim: Misao, I don't mean it THAT way!! I just need to rest, okay?

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

Tim: Raijuta is dead......I'm sure of it. Besides, I'll be back home soon enough.

Misao: Are you sure?

Tim: Yeah......you go on ahead. I'll start on my way after a rest.

Misao: (crying) No......I'll stay here with you. I'm not leaving.

Tim: Misao........

Misao: Please.......

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

(After 5 hours)

Misao: (waking up) Ohh....boy. Hey Tim, how are you doing?.....Tim? Tim?! .......No, NO!!!!! Wake up, WAKE UP!!!! Tim, TTTTTIIIIIMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Then.....)

Misao: AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Misao.....what is it?!

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

Tim: What?

Misao: I had a dream......that you died!!

Tim: Come here.

(Misao holds Tim tightly while crying heavily)

Tim: Want some food?

Misao: Ohhh.....okay.

(They eat quickly as they talk, then......)

Misao: Well, shall we get going? It's going to get dark soon.

Tim: Yeah, good idea, but do you want to spend the night at Yoshi's?

Misao: That's fine.

(Yoshi's village, in front of his house)

Tim: Hello?

Yoshi: (opening door) Oh Tim!! You're alright!!

Tim: Yep, I won!

Yoshi: Great job!! Oh, and Misao! Hi!

Misao: Hi! Nice to meet you again!

Yoshi: Same here. Anyhow, you must be tired, and besides, you're hurt. Want me to treat your wounds?

Tim: Okay.

(That night......when everyone was in bed)

(Tim is sitting outside on the ground, looking at the stars)

Tim: (to himself) .........I feel......like it's not over yet. I know that.......my battle from before isn't over. He's still out there......somewhere. Oh, whatever. I killed him. Besides, I'm just tired probably.

Misao: Tim?

Tim: Oh Misao?

Misao: (sits down next to him) Thinking again?

Tim: Yeah.

Misao: About what?

Tim: My enemies I've fought in the past.....including Raijuta too.

Misao: Oh, why?

Tim: .........No reason. (then to himself) If I tell her anything, she might get killed. It's best that way.

Misao: So, looking forward to going home tomorrow?

Tim: Of course!! (puts him arm around Misao) Wherever friends are waiting for me, I'll go.

Misao: Tim.......(lays on Tim's arm) How about.....we sleep out here tonight?

Tim: .........Alright.

(Morning)

(Tim and Misao are waking up outside)

Tim: (strectching)Oohh boy.....that felt good!!

Misao: Yeah, you haven't slept much, have you, ever since that murder?

Tim: No I haven't, but now that there's no danger to worry about, I was able to sleep peacefully......even when I had my wife by my side.

Misao: Heh!

Yoshi: Oh, there you are!!

Tim: Hi Yosh!

Yoshi: Why did you guy's sleep out here?

Tim: We just wanted to be alone for a while, after what we've been through.

Yoshi: Yeah, I know what you mean, fighting an evil dictator then fighting someone like Raijuta. It's tough.

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

Yoshi: Is......something wrong?

Tim: ...........Huh? Oh......no.

Misao: Tim, you've been acting weird since last night. Tell me, is there something wrong?

Tim: No.......it's nothing. Really.

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

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

Tim: Anyhow, I think we better get going. Everyone must be worried about us.

Misao: Yeah, you're right.

(5 minutes later)

Tim: Well Yosh, we'll be off now!!

Yoshi: Alright, take care! Bye!!

Tim and Misao: Bye!!

(They leave)

Tim: And off we go, down the road to home, once again.

Misao: Yep!

(They come to the intersection)

Tim: Say goodbye to Izu, Misao. We won't be seeing it for a while.

Misao: Bye.....Izu.

Tim: Ok, let's go!!

(Suddenly, we are shown a scene in a town)

????: That boy has not heard the last of me. He might've beaten Raijuta, but I will not fall victim to him.......EVER AGAIN!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!!!!! (This goes on for about 30 seconds)

Next time: Upon returning home, they are greeted by Kaoru who is waiting for Kenshin and the others to return from the marketplace in Tokyo. As they're waiting, they're suddenly attacked by a bunch of guy's from a group called the Jinpuu Squad. What does this mean for Tim, Misao, and Kaoru? Find out next time!!!

Let's begin the Jinpuu chapters!!! Enjoy!!!

Last time: Raijuta, a strong swordsman that fought Kenshin before, came back to take his revenge on Tim. Because of this, Tim went on a journey once again.......alone. Along the way, he came to an intersection that said on a sign Izu and Kyoto. He went down the way to Kyoto so he could visit Yoshi. After spending a little time there, he head for Izu. However, along the way, he ran into Misao. Afterwards, they set forth. When they arrived in Izu, it was quiet. They progressed as safely as possible. Then, Raijuta appeared, and the battle began. During their battle, they used each of their ultimate techniques, but to no avail, they didn't work. Suddenly, Raijuta charged Tim and so did Tim towards Raijuta. They drew their swords, then stood in place on opposite sides. Raijuta suddenly fell, and so did Tim, but was only injured. Afterwards, they went back to Yoshi's to spend the night, then head home.

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 6: Return of the Jinpuu Squad

(Entrance to Tokyo)

Tim: Well........we're home!

Misao: Yep.

Both: ..........

Tim: Everyone will be happy to see us, after worrying them.

Misao: I think so!

Tim: Let's go home....Misao.

Misao: .......Okay.

(They walk to the dojo)

(Outside the front doors)

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Kaoru: Coming!! (opens doors) Tim!!! Oh Tim, you're alright!! (hugs him) I was so worried about you!!

Tim: Thanks Kaoru, I was worried too! (walks inside) Where is everybody?

Kaoru: They went out to shop. I'm here looking over the place.

Tim: Oh.

Kaoru: Also, Misao?

Misao: What?

Kaoru: Why did you go off without telling anyone?

Misao: I'm sorry.......I was just worried about Tim. I couldn't help being away from him.

Tim: Misao.......

Kaoru: I'll forgive you, but tell us next time, okay?

Misao:........Okay!!

Tim: What do we do now?

Kaoru: Are you hungry?

Tim: Actually, we are. We haven't had anything since we left for Yoshi's.

Kaoru: You stopped by?

Tim: He wasn't that far off from an intersection of Izu and Kyoto.

Kaoru: That was nice of you.

Tim: Yeah. He gave us something to eat and also let us spend the night.

Kaoru: Okay. Also, did you fight?

Tim: Yeah. It was Raijuta like I thought, trying to rebuild his kingdom in Izu again. I defeated him.

Kaoru: I can see you got hurt a little.

Tim: It's from the final charge we did.

(Flashback of Tim and Raijuta charging each other one last time)

Tim: I got cut in the chest, but it wasn't that deep, so I was alright.

Kaoru: That's good.

(Silence for 10 seconds)

Kaoru: How about we eat now?

Tim and Misao: Alright!!

????: Hold it right there!!

Tim, Kaoru, and Misao: Huh?!

(3 men suddenly came over the outer wall of the front doors)

Misao: Wh.......who are you?!

????: I am Toma Sakaki, leader of the Jinpuu Squad!!

Tim: The Jinpuu Squad?!

Kaoru: You're the guys from before!!

(In the show, the Jinpuu Squad were a group of swordsmen, who's goals were to get rid of men they thought were corrupt. This nicknamed them "Vigilantes of Justice." The leader, Toma, who is about years old, in the end, had a battle with Kenshin and was beaten. He decided to atone for his sins he committed, then was arrested. But now, he is back!!)

Tim: What do you guy's want?!

Toma: We've been hearing rumors of someone who lives here that has incredible swordsmanship skills, and it seems YOU are it!!

Tim: I'm a celebrity, huh?

Toma: Seems like it.

Tim: Is there a reason why you want to kill me?

Toma: We think you will become a threat to us in the future, so we think we should eliminate you right away!

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

Toma: We'll just have to see, (charge, then unsheathes sword) huh?!

Tim: Misao, Kaoru, get out of the way!!

(They suddenly move)

Toma: Here I come!!

(Tim unsheathes his sword)

Tim: Hhmph!!!

(CLING!!!!!)

(They talk while they press their swords together)

Toma: You think you will win?!

Tim: If I......was able to beat Makoto Shishio, then......I can probably beat you!!

Toma: You're so full of it!!

Tim: The same goes for you!!

Toma: Heh!! (pushes against Tim and forces him back)

Tim: Uhhh......boy, you're persistent!!

Toma: I will do ANYTHING to win, even if I have to kill!!

Tim: That's a really sucky life!!

Toma: It's not something that you would understand!!!

Tim: Oh, I understand it completely......because I've done it before.

(Flashbacks of using Sword of Justice on Gohei, stabbing Shishio in the chest, and slashing Raijuta in the chest)

Tim: I didn't like it one bit, but I knew I was doing good deeds, that I did!!

Kaoru: That I did? He's......talking just like Kenshin.

Tim: I plan on repenting for my sins when all of this is over, and I will do that by living a happy life with my family......with my wife!!!

Misao: Tim......

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

Toma: Touching story. Really, it was. But, I still have to fight you!!

Tim: If that what must be done.......so be it!

(They get in fighting poses and are about to attack)

Tim: You can have the first move!!

Toma: Gladly!!

(Suddenly......)

Kenshin: (distant voice) Do you think this is too much?

Yahiko: You think so?

Toma: Damn!! I guess we'll have to put our deal off for another time! Move out!!

Men: Right!!!

(They suddenly jump to the left on the roof before Kenshin and the others come)

(The front doors open)

Kenshin: Hey, it's Tim!!

Yahiko: Alright!!

Sano: Welcome back, Tim!!

Tim: Thanks everyone!!

Misao: Psst, hey Tim?!

Tim: Huh? What? (goes over to Misao and Kaoru)

Misao: (whispering) Let's not tell them what happened just yet, alright?

Tim: (whispering) Yeah, good idea.

Kaoru: (whispering) I don't think they'd have to get involved.

Kenshin: Hey, you guys, what are you whispering about over there?!

Tim, Misao, and Kaoru: None of your business!!!

Kenshin: Oro?!

( A hidden area in Tokyo)

Man: So boss, what should we do?

Toma: ........(smiles) I have a plan.

TO BE CONTINUED

even with his wife in his arms...i think i get it. LOL junpie..sounds familiar

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 7: Disaster

(The dojo the next day)

Tim: (just waking up) Yaawwwnnnn........Boy, I needed that!! (he get's up) Well, I'll see what everyone else is doing. (he grabs his sword then goes out the door) Hi, Misao.

Misao: Hey Tim, did you sleep well?

Tim: Yeah. (sits down next to her) I needed it!

Misao: I know what you mean. You've been fighting quite a bit.

Tim: To tell you the truth, I'm still not used to it.

Misao: (smiles) Don't worry, you will.

Tim: (smiles) By the way, where is everyone?

Misao: They went to the Akabeko and went to talk with Tsunan. I stayed behind because you were sleeping.

Tim: You didn't have to do that.

Misao: Don't worry, I chose too.

Tim: Heh!! Sometimes, I can't understand you!

Misao: The same goes for me trying to understand YOU!!

(Both laugh)

????: Hey!!

Misao: Huh?!

Tim: (suddenly get's up) Who's there?!

(Suddenly, someone falls from the roof, scaring both Tim and Misao)

Tim: You!!

(Tim quickly unsheathes his sword and swings it at him, but Toma jumps back in time)

Tim: What the hell do you want now?!

Toma: I just came by......to give you a warning.

Tim: What?!

Toma: Either you give up and become a fighter for justice with us, or we burn down this dojo and kill the girl.

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

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

Toma: So, what do you choose?

Tim: There is NO WAY that I would join a bunch of scumbags like you!!

Misao: That's right!! There's no way that he would join you, EVER, and there's no chance that I would give you to kill me!!

Toma: ........Fools. Heh!! Don't blame me for what's going to happen!! Bye!! (jumps onto the roof again)

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

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

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

(Early that afternoon, they are sitting in the same spot after finishing an early lunch)

Misao: Tim?

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

Misao: Tim?!

Tim: Uhhh......what?

Misao: What's wrong? Are you worried about what Toma said?

Tim: ..........Yes, he might strike anytime.

Misao: What'll we do if it happens?

Tim: Then Miss Kaoru would cry her heart out. This dojo means everything to her and if it's destroyed, then we would have nowhere to live.

Misao: It would be so sad if it did happen.

Tim: And the thing is only me, you, and Kaoru know all that's happening. I think the time has come to involve the others.

Misao: I think so too.

Tim: Uhhh.......(suddenly get's up)

Misao: What is it?

Tim: ...........Let's go!!

Misao: What?

Tim: We gotta go......now!!! (grabs Misao's hand)

Misao: Uhhh......

(They run out the doors, then we are seen someone standing on the roof.......smiling)

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

(We are then shown Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sano leaving Tsunan's house)

Kaoru: Take care, Tsunan!!

Tsunan: Thanks, you too!

(She closes the door)

Kaoru: Should we head home now?

Kenshin: I guess we should.

Kaoru: Alright then.

Tim: Wait!!

Kaoru: Huh, Tim?! What are you.....?!

Tim: (breathless) The dojo is in danger!!

Kaoru: Huh?!

Kenshin: What do you mean?!

Tim: There's no time, hurry!! (he runs off with Misao)

Kaoru: Tim, wait!!

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

(1 mile from the dojo, Tim and Misao are waiting for the others and watching a cloud of smoke rise, which is from the dojo)

Tim: Those bastards!! They were serious!!

Misao: I'd think they were!!

Tim: Boy, Miss Kaoru will be saddened.

Misao: That dojo meant everything to her.

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

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

(The others catch up)

Kaoru: Tim, why did you run off, and what's that smoke?!

Tim: ............It's the dojo.

All: WHAT?!!?

Kaoru: The dojo?! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! (she starts running towards the dojo)

Tim: Miss Kaoru, wait!! (the others run after her)

(In front of the dojo)

Kaoru: No......my families dojo.....gone!! (she kneels on the ground, crying)

(The others catch up)

Kenshin: Miss Kaoru........(hugs her)

Tim: UURRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

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

(Suddenly.......Toma comes up behind Misao)

Toma: Got you!!!

Misao: Huh?!

Tim: No, Misao, look out!!

(Tim jumps in the way of Toma's attack and is slashed across the chest. He falls to the ground.)

Misao: No, Tim!!!

Tim: UUUURRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Kenshin: Toma?!

Toma: Hello Mr. Himura. It's been a while, hasn't it?

Kenshin: What the hell are you doing?!

Tim: Uurghh.......he's......started to kill......again!!

Kenshin: What?!

Tim: He's started up......the Jinpuu Squad......again!!

Kenshin: But Toma, I thought you decided to atone for your sins!!

Toma: I found that I was wasting my time, so I decided to return to killing.

Kenshin: But why?!

Toma: .......I don't think we have to talk any further. I've done what I wanted to do, so I'm out of here. Also, for the little battousai, I will be waiting for you in the forest outside of town. Farewell!!

Kenshin: Toma, wait!!

Tim: Uugh....that bastard!! He's not going to get away with this!! (struggles to get up)

Misao: Tim, take it easy!!

Tim: Don't.......(falls down, then get's up again)worry about me!!

Kenshin: But Sir Tim, you're injured!!

Tim: I'll.......be fine!!!!!

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

Tim: I'm going to go kill that bastard!! Don't try to stop me!!

Misao: Tim, let me go with you!!

Tim: No, stay here!!

Misao: But you might be killed, especially with your injury!!

Tim: Misao.........don't make me hurt you!!!

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

Tim: That's it!!! (slaps her)

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

(Misao starts crying)

Tim: Goodbye!!

(He leaves)

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

Kenshin: Misao?

Misao: Yes?

Kenshin: Tim wasn't himself.

Misao: He wasn't?

Kenshin: No.......he was the battousai.

Misao: (shocked) No, not again!! I won't let what happened last time happen again!!

(Flashbacks of Gohei and Shishio fights)

(Misao runs off)

Kenshin: Misao, wait!!!

Misao: Tim!!!!!

(We are shown Tim)

Tim: .........

Misao: Tim, wait!!

Tim: (looks behind him) You......

Misao: Tim.......

Tim: I thought I told you to stay with the others!!

Misao: Yeah, but.....

(SLAP!!!!!)

Tim: Now go back!!

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

Tim: No?

(SLAP!!!!!)

Misao: (weakly) Tim, stop it......

(SLAP!!!!!)

Misao: (a little louder) Stop it.

(SLAP!!!!!)

Misao: Stop it!

(SLAP!!!!!)

Misao: STOP IT!!!!! (hugs Tim) Stop it, Tim!! Stop it!! (sob) I like the original you, not this horrible monster, so please come back!! PLEASE!!!!!

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

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

Tim: Uhhh......

(Misao continues crying)

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

Misao: Tim?!

Tim: Misao......help me. Help me.......fight this battle, and we'll be together, as we shall be.

Misao: Ok, I will!!

Kenshin: Hey, you guys!!

Tim: Kenshin!!

(Kenshin catches up)

Kenshin: Tim......are you alright?

Tim: Yeah, I'm fine.

Kenshin: What could've made you turn into the battousai?

Tim: Well, a lot of reasons. Toma was about to kill Misao and the dojo has been destroyed. Why else?

Kenshin: I see. You must care about us a lot, that you do.

Tim: I do.

Kenshin: (smiles) I'm glad.

Tim: (smiles too) Thanks!!

Kenshin: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Here, use this sword.

(Kenshin hands Tim his reverse-blade sword)

Tim: Why are you giving me this?

Kenshin: Toma doesn't deserve to die. He's just a man being possessed by power.

Tim: .........Right!! (Tim takes it)

Kenshin: So, is Misao going with you?

Tim: ............Yes. She will be by my side, like she always has.

(Misao smiles)

Kenshin: Well then, good luck!!

Tim: Right!! (starts leaving until.....)

Kenshin: Wait Tim, I forgot to ask you something!!

Tim: What?

Kenshin: Do you remember the sword technique he used when you watched us?

Tim: Technique.......Oh yeah, I remember!

Kenshin: Then, be careful!

Tim: Right!!

Kenshin: And also, how's the wound on your chest?

Tim: The pain seems to have gone away, so I'll be fine.

Kenshin: Then everything is all set!! Good luck!!

Tim: (nods in agreement) Same with you with the dojo!

Kenshin: Thanks!!

Tim: ......Let's go, Misao!!

Misao: Right!!

(Tim and Misao then leave, as friends, as a couple, to a fight that they will fight together.)

TO BE CONTINUED

man, poor tim. must be worse for him when going battosai.

^.^ i found this while looking for misao pics to help with the Tim/Misao pic u asked me to draw. lol love this one.

http://rkgalerie1.free.fr/misao_34.jpg

LOL, I have the episode when she's like that, and it's NOT pretty. LOL XD Well, here's the Toma vs. Tim fight. ENJOY!!!!!!

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 8: Toma vs. Tim

(Outskirts of Tokyo, Tim and Misao are heading for the forest where Toma said he would be waiting)

Tim: Misao.....?

Misao: Yes, Tim?

Tim: I'm hoping you can do everything in your power to stop me from becoming the battousai again.

Misao: I will.........I promise.

Tim: (smiles) Toma might not look strong, but he is, ever since fighting Kenshin. But the thing I don't get is all the enemies I've faced so far are one's Kenshin's fought in the past. It's like......I'm a reincarnation of Kenshin. Weird, isn't it?

Misao: Come to think of it, it is weird.

Tim: Well, except one I faced in Kyoto. The one called Bonzo.

Misao: Who's he?

Tim: Bonzo is a master at balloon monsters and he was also dressed up like a clown almost. (Flashback of fight while talking) He used a minotaur-like monster called Lenny who almost smashed me into the ground. He used attacks like Knuckle Bomb which when he punched the ground, his hand blew up like a bomb, then reappeared.

Misao: And when was this?

Tim: It was when you were fighting that guy in front of the Oniwaban Group headquarters when it was on fire.

Misao: Oh, okay.

(1 mile of walking till they show up at the forest)

Tim: Toma should we waiting just through here. Be prepared for anything, okay?

Misao: Right!!

(They walk through till they come to a clearing, where Toma was waiting.)

Tim: Toma!!

Toma: So, you came?

Tim: Toma, what do you hope to accomplish?

Toma: Nothing but the power of justice, and also, changing the world into what I want!

Tim: Which is?

Toma: A world run by a government that I will create!!

Tim: You're crazy!!

Toma: No, YOU ARE!!! You are wasting your time and life with enemies that aren't worth your time, when you don't know of "the enemy" awaiting you!!

Tim: The......enemy?

Toma: You will find out soon enough what I mean......if you beat me.

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

Toma: Shall we start?

Tim: If you wish. (to Misao) Step back, okay?

Misao: Alright.

Tim: Remember what you said, okay?

Misao: Right!!

(Tim heads out more in the clearing, staring straight ahead at Toma)

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

Toma: .............

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

Toma: Let's begin!!! (charges then unsheathes sword)

Tim: (standing in place) Hhmphh!!! (then he unsheathes his sword just when Toma is bringing his down, then they press against each other with their swords)

Toma: Not bad!!

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

Toma: But.....!!!!

Tim: Huh?!

(Toma suddenly kicks Tim in the stomach and sends him flying)

Misao: TIM!!!!!

(Tim lands hard on the ground)

Toma: Why didn't you avoid my kick, huh?! You're not capable of it?!

Tim: Damn!!! (slowly get's up, trying to catch his breathe from the kick to the stomach) That was.......a rotten trick!!

Toma: Hey, all's fair in love and war. There's no lovem but this is war!!!

Tim: Uhhhh......

Toma: How about we try that again?!

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

(Toma charges, then swings his sword to the side. Tim jumps over it, then kicks Toma in the face and sends him flying too. Toma hits the ground hard then quickly get's up)

Toma: (wiping blood from his mouth) You......damn brat!!!

Tim: ........Hm hm hm!!!

Toma: This is getting old!!! Let's battle.........NOW!!!!! (charges)

Tim: Let's go!!! (charges also)

(CLING!!! CLANG!!! CLING!!! CLANG!!!)

(Toma does another side-slash and Tim jumps over it again. While in the air, he get's his sword ready to hit Toma in the shoulder to knock him out, but was a little too slow. Toma avoided it by quickly going behind Tim and getting ready for yet ANOTHER side-slash. The force of Tim's fall made it that he would duck it, then he quickly turned around and did an upper-cut and sent Toma flying)

Misao: Alright Tim!!!

Toma: This is irritating!!! You will pay for that!!!

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

Toma: I think it's time to show you my ultimate sword technique!!

Misao: Oh no, Tim!!

Tim: Don't worry, Misao!! I know what to expect!!

Toma: Oh, do you?!

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

Toma: I know you know what my technique is like,so, to avoid wasting it on someone like that, I've improved it!!

Tim: Oh........great!!

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

Toma: Here goes!!!

TO BE CONTINUED

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 9: Shiden Warning

Misao: Tim!!!

Tim: Don't worry Misao, I'll be alright!!

Toma: Oh, I don't think you will!!

Tim: What do you mean?!

Toma: I've improved my technique so that you wouldn't know what to expect!!

Tim: Ohh, that's clever!!

Toma: Ready?!

(It's sort of hard to describe how Toma does this, but I'll do my best. It's called the Shiden Blade. First, he stands up straight, then hold his sword back by bending his arms and holding it next to his head. He then charges for the enemy then swings it out at fast speed, piercing the enemy in the chest, but now that Toma has improved this technique, Tim won't know what will happen. Toma is now in his beginning stance.)

Toma: Be prepared!!!

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

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

Toma: Here I come!!! (charges)

Tim: (to himself) Okay Tim, you can do it!! (charges)

Toma: (himself) Just a little closer.......

Tim: (himself) Just a little closer........

Toma: ............

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

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

Toma: Now!!!

Tim: What?! A sudden straight slash down?! I can't avoid that in time!!!

Toma: DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Misao: TTTTTIIIIIMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(As Tim is about to get slashed, he has flashbacks)

(Flashback of dream he had with his mom and dad)
(Flashback of him and Misao at the riverbed)
(Flashback of him and Misao at their wedding)

Tim: (himself) Those times......won't go to waste!! I will.......overcome defeat!! I will......SURVIVE!!!!!

Toma: Yaaa!!!!!!!

Tim: Okay!!!!! (suddenly puts sword in front of him to block Toma's attack)

Toma: What?!

Tim: ............I won't be defeated........that easily!!

Toma: What's going on?! You sound different!!

Tim: Do I?!

Toma: Aaahhhh!!!!!! (he suddenly see's Tim's eyes and see's that he is a battousai) It can't be.......You're a battousai too!!

Tim: When I want too!!

Misao: No.....Tim, stop it!!!

Tim: (ignoring her) Toma, we will finish this......with me winning!!

Toma: Don't let that get to your head.....because I'm not done yet!!

Tim: Oh, I think you are!!

Toma: Alright, that's it!! (pushes down on Tim, then Tim jumps back and get's ready for his final attack)

Tim: We finish this now!!!

Misao: TTTTTTTTIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 10: Overcoming Justice

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

Toma: ...........

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

Toma: ...........

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

(From here on out, Tim will have a dark voice)

Tim: .........You may have the first move.

Toma: Gladly!

Tim: .........

Toma: Here I come!! (charges, points sword down then swings diagonally up, missing Tim by a few inches as Tim jumps back)

Tim: Is that it?!

Toma: Bastard!!! (straight slash down, misses)

Tim: (from behind Toma) This is irritating!!

Toma: I'll show you irritating!! (quickly turns around and does another slash down, misses again)

Tim: (far behind Toma) One more strike and you're out!!

Toma: (to himself) This is impossible!! His power has exceeded my own in such a short time!! How can that be?!

Tim: One more try, and if you miss, you're done for!!

Toma: Stop mocking me!! (charge) DDDIIEEEE!!!!!!!!

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

(Toma, once again, a straight slash down, but once Tim disappeared, he suddenly turns around to try to hit him when looking the other way, but Tim jumps over it, then jumps far ahead of him)

Tim: This trick is getting old!! (quickly disappears again, then appears in the air) IT ENDS HERE!!!!!

Toma: Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!

(Tim hits him in the shoulder knocking him to the ground, but doesn't knock him out, then he sheathes his sword and takes Toma's)

Tim: Now......you die!!! (raises sword high above him)

Toma: ..........No........please, spare me!!

Tim: .......Why should I, after ALL that you've done?!

Toma: Listen, I'm sorry......I won't hurt anyone else again, I promise!!

Tim: Liar!!!

Toma: Really, I won't!!

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

Toma: ...........

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

Toma: .............

Tim: I still don't believe you!!

Toma: No, please don't!!!!!

Tim: DIE!!!!!!!!!! (starts bringing sword down towards Toma's head)

Misao: Tim........no, don't!

(sword get's closer)

No.........

(closer)

Stop........

(closer)

TIM!!!!!!!!!!!

(stops)

Tim: Uhhh......Mis......ao?!

Misao: You can fight it!! I know you can!!

Tim: M......Mis.....ao.

Misao: You can do it!!

Tim: I........I can......uugh....uhhh.....(drops the sword, kneels on his legs and grabs his head in pain) Aaaahhh!!!!! Uuurrrgghhhh!!!!!! Aaaahhhh!!!!!!!

Misao: Tim!!!!!

Tim: Uuuhhhhh!!!!! I am......not a killer!!!!! I.......have to fight it!!!!!

Toma: What's......going on?!

Tim: Uuurrgghhhh!!!!!!! Aahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Misao: Tim!!!!!!

Tim: Uuurgghhhh!!!!! (takes Toma's sword and holds it out in front of him, ready to pierce himself in the chest)

Misao: He's going to kill himself!! TIM!!!!!!!!

Tim: Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(CLING!!!!!)

(The sword Tim was holding goes flying into the air after Toma quickly got up and grabbed the reverse-blade and knocked it out of his hands)

Tim: Aahhh.....!!

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

Toma: What the hell are you doing?!

Misao: Toma.........

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

Toma: How could you think of killing yourself?!

Tim: Why........did you do that?

Toma: I wouldn't want to see what would've happened to me.......happen to you.

Tim: Uuhhh......I remember.

(Tim has a flashback of what Toma almost did before. In the show, when Toma was beaten in battle by Kenshin and thought over all he's ever done, he was doing just what Tim was about to do till Toma's master stopped him from doing it.)

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

Toma: Have you learned anything?!

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

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

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

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

Tim: .........Misao, come here.

(Misao runs to Tim)

Misao: What do you want?

Tim: (suddenly looks at Misao with a sad look on his face) Why the hell didn't you stop me?!

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

Tim: I told you if I were going to turn into the battousai, you were going to stop me!!

Misao: But......I tried!

Tim: How hard?!

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

Tim: How freaking hard did you try?!

Misao: But you would've killed me......

Tim: Uuuhh.......

Misao: If I were going to try to stop you physically, you could've killed me!!

Tim: ........(crying) I'm a monster.........

Misao: (hugs him) No, you're not!! You are a boy like no other!! You're just the same like when I met you, someone who can stay in control, no matter what!!

Tim: But........you just saw me, I wasn't.......

Misao: I know.......You weren't in control outside, but inside....in your heart, you were you.

Tim: What are you trying to say?

Misao: It's just like Mr. Himura.....When he wasn't in control, he still had the "him" inside. That's the same with you.

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

Misao: Don't you think?

Tim: .........Yes. I noticed that........when you stopped me from killing Toma.

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

Tim: You stopped me from doing one of the most horrible things in my life.......and I'm very grateful.

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

Tim: I love you......Misao.

Misao: Me too Tim......me too.

(They hug again)

Toma: See what I mean, Sir Tim?

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

Toma: You can atone for your sins by living out your life and saving people as Sir Himura has been doing for the past 11 years.

Tim: Yes, that's what I've been doing mostly, but I have killed.

(Flashbacks of killing Gohei, Shishio, and Raijuta)

Tim: But......those battles were the good of Japan.

Toma: Yes, they were.

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

Misao: Think about it, Tim. There's still something that you don't know yet.

Tim: What's that?

Misao: That's something you'll have to find out for yourself.

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

Toma: .............

Tim: Well, what are you going to do?

Toma: I'll just go home. I've learned my lesson after watching what you went through, and I'm sorry for everything.

Tim: .......(smiles) Thanks.......Toma.

(He leaves)

Misao: How about we go home, too?

Tim: Yes......let's go home.

TO BE CONTINUED

Next time: The act finale!!!

wew, uve been busy! ^.^ glad he stoped before killing Toma. PLEASE tell me who the hell Toma is!

Act I: Time of Revenge
Chapter 11: Terror Awaits

(An inn in Tokyo. Everyone is in a room)

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

Yahiko: Come on everybody, we'll be alright. It'll just take some time to rebuild, okay?

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

Yahiko: ..........

Kenshin: Yahiko......you're alright! We should all believe in ourselves!

(Yahiko smiles)

Kenshin: When do you think we should start rebuilding?

Kaoru: I don't know if I want too. It just wouldn't be the same.

Kenshin: I know what you mean, but we can't stay in an inn forever.

Kaoru: I know, but.......

Sano: Come on missy, it won't be hard unless we have a lot of people to help. Maybe we can start when Tim get's back.

Kaoru: ......Maybe.

Yahiko: Come on Kaoru, I know I've made fun of you in the past, but I believe in you!!

Kaoru: Yahiko.......

Yahiko: If you believe you can, you can!!

Kaoru: .......(smiles) Yeah.......you're right! We'll start when Tim and Misao get back!!

All: Mmm-hmm!!!

(In front of the dojo)

Tim: Boy, this is terrible!!

Misao: The fire completely destroyed it!!

Tim: .........Why did Toma do this?!

Misao: Don't worry, he's atoning for his sins, just like you, right?

Tim: .....Yeah, you're right.

(Misao smiles)

Tim: Oh look. There's a letter on the door. (takes it off)

"We are staying at the local inn in downtown Tokyo. We'll meet you there. See ya!!-Kaoru

Well, I guess they're at the inn.

Misao: Let's go see them then!

(In front of the inn)

Tim: This must be the place.

(They go in)

Tim: Excuse me?

Woman: Yes, can I help you?

Tim: Is there a group of people staying here? The account should be under Kaoru Kamiya.

Woman: Ahhh yes, they came in a while ago. They're in the tulip room just down that hallway on your left.

Tim: Thank you.

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

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Kaoru: I wonder who that is? (opens door) Tim, Misao!!!

All: Huh?!

Tim: Hi everybody!!

Kaoru: Oh, I was so worried!! (suddenly hugs Tim, choking him a little)

Tim: I.........missed you too, but you're......choking me!!

Kaoru: Oh, sorry!!

Tim: That's alright. (to everyone else) How are you guy's doing?

Kenshin: We're doing fine, that we are.

Tim: What with the dojo?

Kaoru: We're going to rebuild it.

Tim: That's good, but it'll take a while.

Kaoru: It'll be worth it.

Tim: I guess you're right!!

Kenshin: How was your battle with Toma, by the way?

Tim: There was no winner......but I'll tell you later.

Kenshin: Fine with me! And how about you, Misao?

Misao: Not much, just sticking by good ol' Tim!!

Tim: Misao, you're embarrasing me!!

Misao: How?!

(Everyone laughs)

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

Tim: And that's what happened.

Kenshin: Tim? All of that is true? You almost killed yourself?

Tim: ..........Yes.

Kenshin: And Toma stopped you from doing it?

Tim: .......Yes.

Kenshin: Maybe you shouldn't fight anymore.

Tim: Why?

Kenshin: You might do something terrible if you turn into the battousai again.

Tim: Not if I have Misao nearby. Because, it's just like I told you......

(A flashback of Tim almost killing Toma plays as he tells everyone)

Tim: As the sword I took from Toma when it was laying on the ground was about to slice Toma, Misao suddenly yelled out stop and my battousai side was fading away. I was fighting with it till it was making me almost kill myself and Toma saved me from doing something terrible. I was grateful.

(End flashback)

Kenshin: Maybe he's FINALLY learned his lesson, that he has.

Tim: He sounded MUCH serious this time, so I don't expect anything else from him anymore.

(Everyone smiles)

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Kaoru: (answering the door) Oh, thank you! (she closes the door)

Kenshin: What is it, Miss Kaoru?

Kaoru: It seems to be a letter. (she opens it and starts reading it, then.....) Uhhh....

Kenshin: Miss Kaoru, what is it?!

Kaoru: Kenshin......you HAVE to read this!!! (hands Kenshin the letter)

Kenshin: "If you don't enter the upcoming tournament in downtown Tokyo next week, you will all be killed.......immediately!!!-Anonymous"

Who the hell could've sent this?!

Kaoru: I don't know, but......I'm scared!!

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

Misao: Tim, what is it?

Tim: I have a VERY bad feeling about this!

Kaoru: Another one?!

Tim: This time.......there's no running from it!

TO BE CONTINUED

Next time: The tournament begins!!!

tournements are sooo kewl! ^.^

I'll premiere it tomorrow, so look out for it!

Now, to start off the tournament.......of death!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Enjoy!

But first, I just wanted to say one thing that I want to add to this story.

1. The name of the path that Tim has used to go from Tokyo to Kyoto is called the Tokaido Trail.

Last time: After enjoying the peace after defeating the powerful Shishio, the time of revenge came. First, it was Raijuta, who was trying to create his kingdom again in Izu. It didn't take Tim long to take him down. Last was Toma, leader of the Jinpuu Squad. After burning down the dojo and then almost killing Misao, Tim swore to defeat him. Their battle wasn't much till the very end when Tim's battosuai side was taking over. He almost killed himself, but Toma stopped him from doing it. Afterwards, Tim and Misao went home, as did Toma, deciding THIS TIME not to kill ever again. While at the inn, a letter came. What it said was, "you better enter the upcoming tournament in in Tokyo or you will all die........immediately." Thus starts out, the Death Tournament Saga.

Act I: Death Tournament
Chapter 1: Preliminary Peril-Part 1

(1 week after obtaining the letter)

(For the past week, Tim, Misao, Kenshin, and Sano, have been training to the fullest for the upcoming tournament, pushing themselves to the limit, preparing for what was to come, till that time came.)

(The tournament)

Tim: Well, we're here.

Misao: I guess we are.

Sano: Hhmphh, time to kick some ass!!

Kenshin: Heh heh, it seems that Sano is ready to fight, that he is!

Kaoru: Remember guys, do your best and don't get killed!

Tim: We'll do our best, don't worry!

Kenshin: Well, we're off!!

Sano: See you missy!

(They start off till......)

Yahiko: Hey Tim?!

Tim: Yes, Yahiko?

Yahiko: Promise me you'll come back alive, because someday, I would like to fight you!

Tim: ..........(smiles) I promise!

Yahiko: (thumbs up) Then good luck!!

Tim: (does the same) Thanks!!

Saito: So, you're joining the fight too, huh?

Tim: Yep! What about you? Are you going to fight or are you here on police business?

Saito: Both.

Tim: What sort of policework?

Saito: A criminal has entered the tournament so to hide from us.

Tim: Do you know who he/she looks like?

Saito: Nope.

Tim: Hmmmm......

Misao: Hey Tim?

Tim: Oh, Misao.

Misao: What's going on?

Tim: It appears that someone has entered the tournament and that person is wanted by the police.

Misao: They don't know who he/she looks like?

Tim: Not a clue.

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

Tim: Anyhow, what number did you get?

Misao: 69.

Referee: That's.........a knockout!! #26 wins!!

Misao: Alright Tim!!

Kenshin: (smiles) You've improved!!

Tim: Yeah, (he jumps down off the ring) I have!!

Sojiro: Hey Tim!!

Tim: Hey!!

Sojiro: That was amazing!! You have improved!!

Tim: Thanks, I can't wait to see you!!

Announcer: #59 and #60 please!!

Sojiro: That's me!

Tim: Good luck, Sojiro!!

Sojiro: I probably wouldn't need it, but thanks!

(He jumps onto the ring)

(On the other side, his challenger is wearing a black cape, his face shrouded in darkness)

Tim: Boy, that guy was prepared to scare!

Sano: But it won't work on Sojiro!

Sojiro: Hello!!

Challenger: .............

Referee: Ready.........BEGIN!!!!!

(Both fighters suddenly draw swords and charge at each other. When they meet and cross swords in the middle, an explosion of energy is made. They then stay in those positions, trying to push each other back)

Sojiro: (himself) Man, he's strong!!

Challenger: .................

Sojiro: ........Uhhh......(he suddenly get's a good look at his face) You..........!!!!!

Kenshin: Tim, I.......!!! (he see's Sojiro)

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

Kenshin: He didn't make it, did he?

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

Kenshin: I'm so sorry.

Misao: Well, here I go!! (jumps onto the ring)

Misao: This'll be easy!!

Referee: Begin!!!

Misao: (charge) Here I come!!

Man: Hmm!!!

(Misao goes to punch him, but he quickly disappears)

Misao: Huh?! Aahhhhh!!!

(He suddenly comes up from behind, sword at the ready)

Tim: Misao, look out!!

Misao: Uhh-uhh-uhh!!!

Misao: I expect tough fights coming up.......and I'll be ready for all of them!!

Kenshin: You better! These other 5 fighters are tough ones, that they are!

Sano: Good luck to you guys!!

Tim: Thanks Sano, but you should've had the luck earlier.

Sano: Uhh....

Tim: Not only did you have the last number.....but you got beaten by Misao.

Sano: Hey, come on!! It was luck, that was all!!

(The three of them start laughing)

Referee: Excuse me, but could we please have the finalists report to the assigning room?!

Tim: Well Sano, see you later!!

Sano: Good luck, guys!! (himself) You're going to need it!!

(The assigning room)

Referee: Okay everyone, you probably know all the rules! Anything goes here! Got it?! All that is necessary to win is allowed!

Tim: (himself) I wouldn't think so! (quick flashback of Sojiro then the caped man) Whoever the hell that guy, he will PAY!!!!! (clenches his hand into a fist)

Referee: Okay, can I have all of you pick a number between 1 and 8?

(Everyone does)

Misao: What did you get, Tim?

Tim: 3. You?

Misao: 5. Himura?

Kenshin: 1.

Tim: That's weird, isn't it? 1, 3, 5. Heh heh heh!!!

Referee: Okay, here's the battle arrangements!!

Kenshin Himura will face Hoji Kikawa!
Tim Ouellette will face Bonzo!
Misao Macimachi will face Toma!
Chou will face Anonymous!

Tim: Bonzo?! Wait, that's.....

Misao: What is it, Tim?

Tim: Bonzo is the one I fought in Kyoto!

(Flashback of the fight in Kyoto with the balloon monster, Lenny)

Misao: Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning him to me! (looks around) Is that him?

Tim: Hmm? (looks around too) Yep, that's him! Uhh...but?!

Misao: But what?

Tim: He has......a sword!!

Misao: ....You're right!!

Tim: He must be up to something, but what?!

Kenshin: Miss Misao, you shouldn't be worried about him. You should be more worried about the anonymous fighter because, if he manages to beat Chou.....you will have to fight him.

Misao: Uhh.....!!!

Tim: No, there is no freaking way I'm letting her fight that guy!! I lost one friend already AND I WON'T LOSE ANOTHER!!!!!

Kenshin: It doesn't matter. If she refuses, she'll be killed anyways.

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

Referee: Okay, we will start fight #1 in a few minutes. Will the fighters please get ready?

Kenshin: Well, I'm off!!

Tim: Do good!! (thumbs up)

Kenshin: I plan on it!!

(The outside arena)

Announcer: Alright ladies and gentlemen, let the finals BEGIN!!!

(BONG!!!!!)

Referee: For Round 1, we have over here, the legendary assassin, hitokiri, and battosuai!! He is atoning for his sins and is helping out the country of Japan!! He even defeated Makoto Shishio!! Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Kenshin Himura!!

(APPLAUSE)

Referee: And over here, we have a strong-built man who has come from the way northern region of Japan to try to win it all!! Hoji Kikawa!!

(Kenshin and Hoji step up too each other)

Kenshin: Good luck, sir!!

Hoji: Same to you!!

(They bow)

(Hoji is a strong-built man who is about 10 inches taller than Kenshin and appears to be 37.)

Referee: READY.......!!!!!!

(Drum roll)

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

Hoji: ..................

Referee: .................

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

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

Sano: ................

Yahiko: ..............

Kaoru: ...............

Referee: BEGIN!!!!!

(BONG!!!!!)

After a long, perilious journey through the preliminaries, everyone is revved up to see who will win it all. But it's just the beginning. Most importantly, who is the caped man? There's only one way to find out, and that is to stay tuned to A Manslayer Story as the finals get underway!!!

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 2: Battle of the Eight Begins!!!

Referee: BEGIN!!!!!

(BONG!!!!!)

(Both unsheathes swords as they're charging then they cross in the middle and then are on opposite sides)

Referee: WHOA!!!!! They moved so fast, it was all just a blur to me!!

Tim: Totally!!

(Kenshin and Hoji turn around to face each other. Kenshin then jumps up in the air, sword raised, ready to bring it down on Hoji's shoulder. Hoji disappears as Kenshin is about too, then as Kenshin lands on the ground, Hoji suddenly appears behind Kenshin with sword raised, ready to slash Kenshin across the back)

Tim: Kenshin, look out!!

Kenshin: Huh?!

(CLING!!!!!)

(Kenshin blocks Hoji's attack by using his sword as a shield. He forces Hoji up then swings his sword, but Hoji ducks it in time then when he has the chance, uppercuts Kenshin and sends him flying. Kenshin lands on the ring, and then quickly get's up, ready for anything)

Announcer: After a powerful uppercut, Mr. Himura is back up like he didn't even feel it!!

Hoji: You're strong!!

Kenshin: Same with you!!

(They both smile)

Tim: Not bad Kenshin, you can do it!!

(Hoji charges, then he jumps in the air, does a roll, then comes down very quickly to where Kenshin is. Kenshin suddenly get's out of the way, almost getting cut across the chest. When Hoji slams his sword on the ground, it shakes fiercely and crumbles up the part of the arena where he slammed it. Kenshin appears behind Hoji)

Kenshin: I hate to say it, but nice attack. You almost got me!

Hoji: Thanks!

Kenshin: Now it's my turn!

Hoji: Huh?!

Announcer: Whoa, it seems that Mr. Himura has decided to use one of his special moves!! What will it be, and will it be enough for this fight to end quickly?!

TO BE CONTINUED

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 3: Quick Finish

Announcer: Behold, ladies and gentlemen, as we are about to see one of the legendary battosuai's powerful techniques!!

Tim: I wonder what it will be?! Rui Tsui Sen?! Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki?! We'll soon find out!!

Misao: Hmmmm......

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

Hoji: It would be an honor to see one of your special attacks, but I'll make sure I won't go down that easily!

Kenshin: .............(Kenshin starts bending his legs, getting ready for his ultimate attack)

Tim: Just as I thought......the Amakakeu Ryu No Hirameki!!

Misao: You're right!!

Kenshin: Feel free to attack me Hoji!

Hoji: (himself) I don't know what he's going to do, but I better be careful! Maybe if I charge him at max speed, I might be able to get him! Well, here I go!! (outloud) Let's do this then!! (charges)

Kenshin: (himself) A little closer......a little closer......

Hoji: (raises his sword) Got you!!!

Kenshin: (quickly) Hiten Mitsirugi, ULTIMATE ATTACK!!!!! (he suddenly uses his left foot to put pressure on his thrust and swing of the sword and then cuts Hoji across the chest, leaving only a minor gash. Hoji goes flying and lands hard on the ring)

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

Tim: Amazing!! I can't believe I just saw the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki right before my eyes!!

Announcer: Uhh.....oh, Hoji's down folks!! I'll start the count now!! 1.......2.......3........4........5.......6......7.......8.......9......10!!!!! Mr. Himura has won!!!

Crowd: Yaaay!!!!!!

Tim and Misao: Alright!!

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

Hoji: Uuhhhh......(struggles to get up)

Kenshin: (holds out a hand) Here, let me help you off the ring.

Hoji: Uuh.....(takes Kenshin's hand) Thanks!

Announcer: Enemies in battle, friends afterwards!! That's what I like to see!! ALRIGHT then, could we have the next 2 fighters please?!

Misao: Alright Tim, give it your all!!

Tim: (thumbs up) Thanks!! (gulp)

Misao: What's wrong? You look nervous.

Tim: Oh, it's nothing! Heh heh!!! (pause) Well, I'm off!! (he jumps onto the ring)

(On the other side of the ring stands Bonzo with a sword tucked in his belt. After jumping onto the ring, they approach each other till they meet in the middle.)

Side-note: Bonzo doesn't look like a clown anymore. He's just an ordinary-looking man.

Bonzo: Hmmm.....It's just like I said. We are meeting once again.

Tim: Lucky guess I'd say!

(They start glaring at each other)

Announcer: Alright guys, shall we start?

Bonzo: Sure.

Tim: Of course.

(They both walk to their opposite ends of the ring, then they turn to face each other, continuing to glare at each other)

Sano: Does Tim know this guy or something?

Misao: He said he fought him when we were in Kyoto, but this wasn't the fighting style he used before. He said last time that he used balloon monsters to fight, but not sword-fighting. Is he up to something?

Saito: Maybe. I'd keep my guard up if I were Tim.

Misao: Yeah, I know he will!! (herself) Come on Tim, you can do it!!

Announcer: Alright everyone, let me have the honor of introducing these fighters!! Over here is a young boy who has come a LONG LONG way!! He is 17 and is a very skilled swordsman!! Just like Mr. Himura, he has defeated the evil Makoto Shishio who mysteriously came back to life!! Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Tim Ouellette!!!

Crowd: Yaaaay!!!!!

Misao: Go Tim!!

Announcer: Also, we have another great swordsman who has come from Kyoto!! From the way it looks, he has met Sir Tim before and is looking for a rematch!! Let me introduce, Bonzo!!

Bonzo: Excuse me?

Announcer: Huh?!

Bonzo: My name is now Toriyashi.

Announcer: Alright then, let me introduce Toriyashi!!

Crowd: Yaaay!!!!!

Toriyashi: Don't expect any mercy, little one!!

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

Announcer: GET READY......!!!!!!

(Drum roll)

Tim: (bends his legs and puts his hands around the handle of the sword, then to himself) I must be ready for anything!!

Toriyashi: (does the same, then to himself) It is now time for my revenge!!

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

Announcer: ..........BEGIN!!!!!!

(BONG!!!!!)

TBC

Sweet! >.< clowns are evil...

Another RK fact: The name of the Oniwaban Group headquarters is the Aoiya. The members there run a restaurant and also hold it as their headquarters in Kyoto too.

Last time: During Tim's journey against Shishio, when he arrived in Kyoto, he ran into trouble. After leaving the Oniwaban headquarters with Aoshi Shinomori, two men working for Shishio attacked both Misao at the headquarters and Tim and Aoshi in the streets. The one fighting Tim was Bonzo, a master at balloon monsters. He put up a good fight, but Tim succeeded. Now, after about 1/2 year, they meet again and now are ready to fight each other again, but now, Bonzo is using a sword to fight, but why? Find out......now!!!

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 4: Next up:Tim!!!

Tim: (charging Toriyashi) Here I come!!

Toriyashi: Heh.........

(Tim does a straight-slash down, but Bonzo suddenly disappears)

Tim: He's.........gone?!

Misao: Whoa!!

Tim: Alright, where are you?!

Toriyashi: I'm right here!

Tim: Huh?! (suddenly looks behind him) Aaaahhh!!!!!

Toriyashi: Impressed?!

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

Toriyashi: Come!! Why don't you try again?!

Tim: Gladly!! (charging again) I won't miss this time!!

(SWISH!!!!!)

Tim: Dammit!!

Toriyashi: How pathetic!!

(He is now in front of, instead of behind, Tim.)

Toriyashi: I can't believe a legendary swordsman like you can't even touch me!!

Tim: Shut up!!

Toriyashi: Heh!!! (he quickly charges then slashes him across the chest)

Tim: Aahhhhh!!!!!!!!

Misao: No, Tim!!

(Tim falls on the ring)

Toriyashi: What a weakling!!

Announcer: 1......2......

Misao: Tim, get up, you can't be done!! You can do better than this!!

Tim: Uunnghh........

Announcer: 3.......4......5.......

(Tim slowly get's up)

Announcer: Tim is back on his feet!! The fight continues!!

Tim: Nice......try!!

Toriyashi: Impressive!! You're still able to stand!!

Tim: I have a secret!!

Toriyashi: Whoa.......I wonder what it is?!

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

Tim: But I don't want to reveal it just yet. (get's sword yet) Let's continue this!!

Toriyashi: Fine with me!!

(Toriyashi charges with sword raised and brings it down, but Tim blocks it with his own)

Tim: These tricks are getting too easy to avoid!!

Toriyashi: Oh.....then how about this?!

Tim: Huh?!

(Toriyashi brings his leg up and kicks Tim in the stomach)

Tim: Uugh!! (he staggers)

Toriyashi: Got you!!! (slugs Tim in the face)

Misao: Tim!!!

(Tim is still standing in pain)

Tim: You.......bastard!!!

Toriyashi: Hey, I'm fighting fair, right?! It's not like I'm breaking any rules!!

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

Announcer: Tim seems to be having trouble! What could be the problem?!

Tim: Hm hm hm.......

Toriyashi: Is something funny?!

Tim: I'm just thinking maybe I should reveal my secret now!!

Toriyashi: Which is?!

Announcer: Tim is about to tell us his secret to this battle!! What could it be?!

TBC

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 5: Crushing Defeat

Toriyashi: So, what's your secret?

Tim: Should I?

Toriyashi: Tell me, dammit!!

Tim: Ok! First, I'd like you to try and attack me!

Toriyashi: What?!

Tim: Just attack me!!

Toriyashi: Alright then! (raises sword) Here I come!! (charges)

Tim: (himself) Here I go!!

Toriyashi: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: (himself) NOW!!!!!

(Tim suddenly pushes himself forward, swings his sword and sends Toriyashi flying)

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

Kenshin: (shocked) Did he just use.......the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki?!!?

Misao: Yes, he did!!!

Sano: Whoa!!!

(Toriyashi lands hard on the ring floor)

Announcer: I.......I can't believe it everyone!! Sir Tim just used the......Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki, an attack that only people practicing the Hiten Mitsirugi could do!! This boy is mysterious beyond words!! Now, to start the countdown!! 1........2.......3.......4.......

Tim: So, how did you like it?! Heh, what a weakling!!

Toriyashi: Don't celebrate just yet you little brat!!

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

All: (shocked) Uhhh.....!!!!!

Misao: NO WAY!!!!!

Kenshin: He's getting up?!

(Toriyashi slowly get's up)

Tim: Impossible!!! How can.....?!?!

Toriyashi: Heh heh heh heh heh!!! Shocked?! Yes, I can see how scared you look!!

Tim: But.......how can you still be standing after the Hirameki?!

Toriyashi: I made it so my body can withstand strong blows, and that, along with what I said, wasn't enough to take me down!!

Tim: Errgghhhh!!!!!!

Toriyashi: Let's continue!!! (charges)

Tim: Uuhhh.....huh?!

(Toriyashi suddenly disappears, appears behind Tim , then as Tim is looking behind him, he suddenly appears in front of him, then......)

Toriyashi: Got you!!!

Tim: Uhhh.....!!!

(Tim is kicked in the stomach again and goes flying towards the edge of the ring. It appears he might fly out.)

Misao: No!!! Tim's going to lose!!!

Kenshin: Sir Tim!!!

Tim: (to himself) I guess.....this is it! Wait........(he see's how close he is to the edge of the ring then thinks of something) Right!!! (he takes his sword out then as he is about to touch the outside, he stretches his legs out so his feet would stay on the ring and he sticks his sword down in the ground so he could hold himself up)

Toriyashi: What?!

Tim: Uuhhh......(He struggles to get up onto the ring again.....and succeeds!)

Misao: Alright!!

Kenshin: Tim still has a chance, that he does!!

Tim: Heh heh heh!!!

Toriyashi: You're one lucky son-of-a-*****, you know that?!

Tim: Yeah......I'm also pissed!! Now, it's YOUR turn!!

Toriyashi: Huh?!

(Tim sticks his sword in the ring, then it starts shaking)

Misao: Huh?! Could this be.....?!

Tim: Justice Shaker!!!

(The last time Tim used this attack was against Shishio. The part of the ring in front of him start's breaking up and is attempting to bury Toriyashi in the ring, but as he is trying to avoid that, Tim finds the opportunity to knock Toriyashi out of the ring, and he does)

Misao: Alright Tim!!!

Crowd: Yaay!!!!!

Announcer: Sir Tim has done it!! Way to go!!

Tim: Hmmm.....huh? (He see's Toriyashi struggling to get up. He jumps down to him)

Toriyashi: Uunnghhhh.....huh? (He see's that Tim is holding out a hand)

Tim: Here, let me help you up.

Toriyashi: W......why? Why are you helping me?

Tim: I just thought.........maybe we could be friends, just like I was too the boy that was killed.

Toriyashi: You were friends with him?

Tim: ........Yes, but now he's gone. So I thought.....maybe you could take his place.

Toriyashi: ...............

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

Toriyashi: ..........Sure. Why not? (takes Tim's hand) Thanks!

Tim: Don't mention it! So, how about it, dinner with me and my other friends after this is over?

Toriyashi: Thanks, that would be nice!

Announcer: Well now, how about we give a hand to our fighters Tim and Toriyashi!! Toriyashi fought extremely well! Good job!!

Crowd: Yaay!!!!!

Announcer: Alright then, we will take a short break so we could try and fix the ring!! Come back in 30 minutes!!

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

(The main hall)

Misao: Tim, that was amazing!! Way to go!!

Tim: It was nothing!

Kenshin: Sir Tim, how in the world did you do the Hirameki?!

Tim: What do you mean? I've been practicing it.

Kenshin: When?

Tim: Mostly when you're all sleeping at night.

Kenshin: Maybe that's why you seem tired somedays, that you do.

Tim: That is the reason! Heh heh heh!!

Kenshin: Anyway, good job!!

Tim: Thanks!!

Sano: Hey Tim!!

Tim: Oh Sano, what did you think?

Sano: You kicked ass!!

Tim: I guess I did, didn't I?

(Everyone laughs)

Kaoru: Tim!!

Tim: Miss Kaoru!!

Kaoru: Are you alright?! You got cut pretty badly!!

Tim: I'm alright, although I could use some food. That battle took a lot out of me.

Kaoru: What a coincidence, I brought some rice balls for everyone!

Tim: Thanks!!

(20 minutes later)

Announcer: (coming in) Can we have everyone arrive back outside, please?!

Tim: Okay!! (to Misao) It's your turn, so do your best!!

Misao: Right!!

????: Excuse me?

Tim: Huh? (looks behind him) Hey Toma!!

Toma: Hey, how's it going?

Tim: Not much. You?

Toma: Just atoning.

Tim: Hmmm.....(looks at his sword) Oh, your sword, it's......

Tim: Yes, reverse-blade.

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

Tim: That's good.

Toma: Yeah. Also miss, I suppose we will be fighting each other. Ready for the challenge?

Misao: Yep!!

Tim: Fight fair, okay?!

Toma: I will!!

Misao: Count on it!!

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

TBC

sweet! heh, i just got an idea. ^.^ maybe ill try to draw that scene where Tim is trying to not go out of bounds. lol i bet that would look funny!

Last time: The Tokyo Tournament kicked off as the preliminaries began!! Tim was the first from the group and won. Afterwards, was Kenshin and Saito, then it was Sojiro's turn. His opponent was an anonymous fighter wearing a black cape, shrouding his face. Sojiro was killed and Tim swore revenge. After the preliminaries, Tim, Misao, and Kenshin were one's chosen to fight in the finals. The first match was Kenshin vs. Hoji. This fight didn't last long. In the end, Kenshin used the ultimate attack of the Hiten Mitsirugi, the Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki. The next fight was Tim vs. Bonzo, or Toriyashi, which he changed his name too. In the beginning, Tim was getting hurt pretty badly and was taking a beating, but Tim suddenly showed off his secret. It surprised everyone that Tim could use the Hirameki, which didn't take Toriyashi down. Toriyashi then almost knocked Tim out of the ring but Tim managed to stay in. Then, when he got back up again, he used the Justice Shaker that made Toriyashi busy himself not to be buried in the rubble, and he saw his chance to knock him out of the ring, and he did. Tim then decided to become friends with him and have him replace Sojiro. Now, it is match #3 of the quarter-finals, Misao vs. Toma!!!

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 6: Misao vs. Toma

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for fight #3!!!

Crowd: Yaay!!!!!

Announcer: Over here, we have the young, talented, and skilled 17-year-old who is the leader of the Oniwaban Group!! She is married to Sir Tim and has a young daughter named Heather!! Misao Makimachi!!!

Anouncer: Now, shall we get this fight started?!

(Both Misao and Toma nod their heads)

Announcer: Then get ready....!!!!!

(Drum roll)

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

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

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

Toma: ..............

Announcer: BEGIN!!!!!!

(BONG)

(Toma charges with sword raised then swings it down, but Misao jumps back in time. Toma then tries it again. Misao jumps over him to avoid it. Toma and Misao then turn around to face each other. They then jump in the air towards each other. Toma has his sword ready and Misao has her kunai's out too. When they meet......(CLING!!!!!), then they land on opposite sides of each other, holding their poses.)

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

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

Announcer: ..................

(Toma suddenly stumbles a little and blood comes out of a cut Misao has made on his shoulder)

Tim: WHOA!!!!! Misao cut him!!

Kenshin: Incredible!!

Toma: Impressive missy! You got me!

Misao: I've improved!!

Toma: .............

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

Announcer: What a great start to a great battle!! This is getting good!!

(Toma sheathes his sword)

Misao: Huh, what are you doing?

Toma: It might seem a little too early, but how about we do fist-to-fist combat?

Misao: Sure!! (put's her kunai's away) Let's go!!

(Both charge with fists raised. Misao does a quick left diagonal uppercut to Toma's face, but misses. Toma see's his chance and goes for Misao's stomach, but Misao avoids it by swiftly moving to the left. Misao goes for a kick. Toma avoids it, goes under her leg, then get's her square in the chest with a hard punch. Misao staggers and holds her stomach.

Tim: Misao!!

Announcer: What great fighting skills!! These two are definetely professionals!!

Kenshin: Misao sort of has the advantage here, but it doesn't seem to be shown. She should be swift and skillful for being a ninja, but......

Tim: But what?

Kenshin: I......don't know.

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

Misao: Boy, your punches pack a whallop!!

Toma: Hmmmmm......

Misao: Hmmmm.......

(They both charge again)

Announcer: Misao seems to be alright, but will she be able to hold out?! Keep watching folks!! This is getting VERY good!!!

(When they're about to meet, Misao goes for Toma's face, but he dodges right. Toma does the same. Misao dodges to the left. Misao goes for a kick under the chin but Toma blocks her kick. Toma goes for a side kick. Misao jumps over it, then punches Toma square in the nose. Toma staggers)

Tim: Yeah!!

Toma: Damn, that hurt!!

Misao: Sorry, did that hurt?!

Toma: A little too much!!

(Both laugh)

Toma: But it's not over yet!! (charging with fist extended backwards, then forces it upward towards Misao's face, Misao grabs it then kicks Toma in the stomach. She then jumps on the other side of Toma, then turns around jumps up in the air and has her foot extended out.)

Announcer: This could be it!!!

Kenshin: This is......

Tim: .........the Kecho Kick!!!

Misao: Kecho Kick!!!

(Misao kicks Toma when in the air in the back and sends him flying out of the ring)

Announcer: Misao has won!!!

Crowd: Yaay!!!!!

Misao: (holding her hand out) Let me help you up!

Toma: Hmmm.....(takes her hand) It was an honor fighting you!! Good fight!!

Misao: Thanks!!

Tim: Heh, isn't it weird?! Us three have made friends with our opponents!!

Kenshin: It is weird, but it's good, that it is!!

(Misao walks over to Tim. They both look at each other)

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

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

Misao: .......Thanks!!

Announcer: Once again, great job to young Misao!! She fought well!! Also, to Toma, who gave it his all!! Now, to end the quarter-finals!! Could we have the next 2 fighter out here please?!

(Two men jump onto the ring)

Announcer: On this side, we have a very skilled swordsman!! He works for the police force and used to be part of the Juppogatana for Shishio!! Here is Chou!!!

(Chou is pretty much what I said. Along with that, he has about 3 swords with him in the ring.)

And over here, we have a VERY mysterious fighter. His face is shrouded in darkness as he wears a black cape. His name is being kept as Anonymous!!!

Crowd: Yaay!!!!!

Chou: (to himself) This man.......there's something suspicious about him, but what is it? Heh!!! I'm probably just tense!!

Anonymous: ...........(draws his sword)

Act II: Death Tournament
Chapter 8: The Anonymous Fighter

(Both charge with swords raised. When they meet in the middle, they clash swords and a big boom of energy is heard. They hold it.)

Chou: I don't know who you are, but you are strong! Another thing, I saw what you did to that boy, Sojiro! Someone who kills shouldn't bask in glory! You are the only one who has killed here today and......(He then get's a good look at his opponent's face) What the.......?! It can't be!!

Anonymous: Heh heh heh!!! (he pushes Chou back then quickly swings his sword to the side. Chou get's a scratch across his chest then quickly get's ready for anything else)

Chou: How can it be?! You........?!

Anonymous: You talk too much.

Chou: IT IS YOU!!!!!

Misao: Then if we can't go home.....then I'll stay by your side.

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

Kenshin: I feel as worried as you guys, but if you think about it, me or Tim might have the chance to finish him off. It just depends on how Misao will do. We pray for the best.

Tim: I.......heard what you.......said, how you would avenge the deaths of Sojiro and Cho....but I......I want to do it!! You didn't......know Sojiro as much as I did!! You didn't......know his true feelings!! He was.....one of my only friends....that I had, and I'm......glad he changed!!

Last time, on A Manslayer Story, the tournament continued on with the battle between Misao and Anonymous. The battle heated up as Misao seemed to have the upperhand at first with her good ninja skills, but it all changed after Anonymous moved VERY quickly after falling down, showed up in front of Misao at god-like speed, and slashed her hard across the stomach. She went flying out of the ring. Tim went to her and held her hand as they said their final farewells. Then, she died, leaving Tim alone, once again. Now, the final match begins!!!

Tim: (still holding her hand) Misao......I never, thought that you would......do something like that. When you were fighting, and you got hurt, I didn't think you would keep fighting. I knew you wanted to avenge the deaths of Sojiro and Chou, but not if it meant giving up your life. You could've stayed! Why did you get up?! You'd be here now in my arms if you would've!! Why the **** did you go and do that?! WHY?!?!!? (cries harder)

Kenshin: He's up.

Kaoru: That's good.

Shishio: You stupid moron! You should've stayed down while you had the chance, but it looks like you chose death!

Crowd: Aaah!!!

Announcer: Aaah!!!

Shishio: What.......But how?!

Tim: .........(smiles) Hm hm hm.....Don't you remember?!

(A flashback of the fight with Shishio as Tim is falling)

Tim: You got me across the back during our last encounter, making me bleed quite a bit, but from a technique I learned from my parents in a dream I had when I died once before, I revived myself. It's called the Love Heal. I could feel the love and support from my friends to win, to beat your sorry ass into the ground!! It was because of them, I survived!!

Shishio: This is getting old!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!! (charges with sword raised, brings it down, Tim moves to the right.) Uugh.......damn you!!! (side-slash, Tim ducks it, another side-slash, ducks, diagonal slash, Tim jumps over it, then he quickly jumps back) I can't believe I didn't hit you!!

Tim: You don't seem to remember either that when I use the Love Heal, I grow much stronger!!

Kenshin: He's right!! His power has exceeded Shishio's!!

Kaoru: Then Tim has a chance!!

Shishio: UUUUURRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim: Oh......what's wrong?! Am I 'pissing you off'?!

Shishio: You're damn right you're pissing me off!! You should've been dead a long time ago, but NO, you had to be loved!!

Tim: Being loved is something you really need in life, sort of like the relationship you had with Yumi!

Shishio: Uuunngghhh.......

(Yumi, in the show, loved Shishio and stayed by his side as he was trying to accomplish his goals of taking over Japan, but during the final battle with Kenshin, he killer her by stabbing a dagger through her stomach.)

Shishio: BASTARD!!!!!! (swings his sword, making an energy wave come out) Remember this?!

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

Kenshin: Sir Tim!!!

Kaoru: Get out of there!!!

Tim: Hhmphh!!! (he quickly unsheathes his sword, so fast that no one see's it and cut's the energy wave in half)

All: Aaahhhhh!!!!!!

Tim: (sheathes his sword) Impressed?!

Shishio: (shaking with anger) (to himelf) How......?! How the hell can I beat him?! There must be a way!!

Tim: So.......are you going to attack (unsheathes sword a little) or can I do the honors?!

Shishio: UUUNNGGHHHH!!!!!!

Shishio: .........(himself) Wait!! I know.........

Tim: Well?!

Shishio: (himself) Yes......IT'S PERFECT!!!!!

Tim: Hello?!

Shishio: Hhmphh.....go ahead, attack!!!!!

Tim: Huh?

Shishio: What are you waiting for?! Go ahead, attack!!

Tim: (himself) All of a sudden, he seem's like.....like he's planned something very evil that I won't be able to figure out, but what could it be?! (silence for 5 seconds) I'll attack and watch what he does!! Well, here goes!!! (charges) Be prepared, Shishio!!!

Shishio: (himself) NOW!!!!! (As Tim is bringing his sword down, Shishio grabs it with his right hand, throws it out of Tim's hands, grabs Tim's arm, then bites him really hard on the shoulder. Tim let's out a piercing scream)

Tim: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!

Kaoru: NO, TIM!!!!!

Kenshin: THAT BASTARD!!!!!

(What Shishio is doing is what he did to Kenshin in their final battle. He bit Kenshin really hard in the shoulder then threw him. That's exactly what he does to Tim)

(THUD!!!!! The sound of a near-to-death Tim hitting the ring floor)

Kenshin: TIIIIMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TBC?!!?!?

Chapter 17: Miracles of Love

(A dream world)

????: Tim? Tim?!

Tim: .......Uuh......

????: Come on Tim, get up.

Tim: ......That voice.....Mi.....Misao? (he slowly get's up) Uuuh.......oww, DAMN!!! Huh? (He see's someone approaching him, then the figure is fully visible. It is Misao.)

Tim: Mis......ao?

(She walks up to him)

Misao: Hey.

Tim: Misao? What are......you doing here?

Misao: I'm here to tell you.......I'm coming back.

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

Misao: I talked to your parents Tim. It's just like you said before, your parent's revived you in a dream, like what's happening now with me. They were very nice people. You're lucky to have nice parents like them. We had a nice talk. They told me....if I remained dead, you wouldn't have a life to keep on living. You would be all alone then you would eventually kill yourself. I wouldn't want that. None of us would've wanted that.

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

Misao: I also learned from them....more about you.

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

Misao: They noticed something deep in your heart that no one else has......and that is the power and will to go on in life and to enjoy it to the fullest. Even though you're killing, doesn't mean you're a bad person. You killing has saved the country of Japan and that's all that counts. Tim.......I saw that in you from the very beginning......and that's why I decided to marry you. Another reason is an empty space I saw in your heart, after hearing what you went through in your time.

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

Misao: .......(takes Tim's hands) So don't worry. I'm coming back.........and so are you.

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

Misao: I love you Tim.

Tim: ......I love you too......Misao.

(They kiss)

Announcer: Uuhhh......Tim's, getting up!!!

Shishio: (himself) Impossible!!!

Tim: Uuhnnn......OWWW!!!!!

Kaoru: Tim........why does he still want to fight?

Kenshin: I don't know. There's hardly any chance of him to win, I'm afraid to say, but.........

Kaoru: But what?

Kenshin: Unless he knows something we don't......he'll be victorious.

Kaoru: .................

Tim: Nnghhh...... (himself) I can't stand this pain!!!

Misao: (voice inside his head) Tim?

Tim: (himself) Mi......Misao?!

Misao: I'm here with you, so don't worry.

Tim: What do you mean?

Misao: I'll stay by your side as you fight. We will fight as one!!

Tim: As.....one?

Misao: Yes!!

Tim: Misao, you don't have to do this.

Misao: Yes I do. Your life will be a waste if you die here. I want you to be alive when I come back.

Tim: ........(smiles) Alright then!! But, I'm hurt! I can't stand up that well!

Misao: I'll heal you.

Tim: Thanks.......Misao. You're definetely the best wife a man could have.

Misao: Thanks. Now, let's get this over with!!

Tim: Right!! (outloud) Let's go!!

Shishio: Finally......ready to continue?

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

After having another dream similiar to the one he had on his previous journey, he is now back and well, with something else; a reason to live, a reason to go on in life, all thanks to his beloved wife, Misao, who has shown him new things in life and has always been by his side. Now, like I said, she is now fighting alongside Tim in his battle against the powerful Shishio, and hoping that the both of them fighting together, will bring down Shishio........for good!!!
