Edo Japan

[Khadgar]

era is the 1680's in japan. the country is in turmoil, with no serious government there is no law. bandits rule the roads, and the country is in a power struggle for what will rule it.


Kenshin woke up, he glanced out the window and stood up out of his sitting position. sliding his Katana into the band of cloth at his waist he blinked away the sleep. he walked over to the door and stepped out, continuing down the hall he stepped outside, onto the walkway. for the time, he was untroubled, and free. later tonight may find him in a different position, but for now he walked down along the river. thinking about his ath to save innocent people, so no one may die. he was going to do that by helping overthrow the emporer. he frowned. his goal was peace, and for no one to die, but he himself had slain hundreds. he shook his head and looked up to the wind. it mattered not what happened, with the teachings of Hiten Misurigi ryu and his amazing soeed, he would ensure the emporer fell.

Ein's pov


"AAAAAAAAH!!!" An man in a black cloth fell down bleedingto death, "Shit..."

The warror under the black cloak gave a huge sigh. "You and your lackys could have lived, but you pushed me. Now how am I suppose to find that girl!"

One of the kidnappers coughed and sputtered, and he cloaked fighter would have showed an smirk if it wasn't for the cloth covering his head "Well well well, what do we have here?"

He pcked up the kidnapper rudely and yelled at him "Where is she? were is the little girl?!"

No answere, just coughing "Must be having a hardtime breathing under that cloth now huh?"

He abruptly pulled of the mask and almost fainted, the kidnapper was just a girl his age, younger maybe. But he put that aside for the moment "Where is the girl? Tell me and I'll let you live!"

She couldn't say anything, just point "Good, I'll come back for you in a moment." He laid her down ran to the spot where she pointed "Its just a tree.... Wait a minute..." He searched around for a moment, and found a hollow rock.He knocked on it ad ask "Maya!? Are you in there?"

The voice was faint, like it was dieing "Help me!"

He opened he rock, and found a little girl, cloths lightly torn, wraped in a blanket "are you okay?"

She quickly jumped up, and wraped her arms around him, sobbing madly.

IC: "Hello...... Inn?" Damn, this is hard. I've been lost out here for hours and no one knows where the Inn is..... or could it be no one understands what I'm asking. Yea it's got to be the seond one.

You know one would think Japanese would be like Chinese but no seems to understand it. It's a shame it's taken me weeks to figure that out. Maybe I shouldn't of been so arguementive to Marko. Oh well I still say he had to big of an ego after all it may of been huis ship but it was my gunpowder.

I reached down to look at my flint lock pistole. A lot of good this will do me I only have a little over 20 shots. Good thing I have my sword still.

I walked down the street further. "Inn?" the person gave me a blank stare. How do I get lost in the midle of the town. I really need to learn more words.

 

[hybirdx]

Ein walked slowly with the little girl hanging on to his neck, while he carried the injured kidnapper in is arms, "But why would your parents go through all of the trouble of hiring a mercernary if thy dont care about you?"

"Maybe because of my great grand fathers will..."

"Great Grandfathers will?"

"Yes... My Great grandfather cared about me lots" She said gleefuly, but it became tired and sad soon after "But he got sick not too long ago, nd he was going to give all the mony to my parents to keep me happy..."

"And they're going to get rid of you as soon as they do huh?"

Although he could no see it, he knew she was nodding. "... So what abbout the kiddnappers?"

"Well most of the just wanted me for the mony, they promissed to take care of me if they received it from my great grand father"

"You shouldn't trust bandits..."

"But it was as close to a family as I could get.the leader was espeacialy nice, she's the one that promissed me."

The youthful warrior looked down, "It wouldn't happen to be her would it?"

"Yes it is actualy! Is she.... Is she going to be alright?"

"She will be fine if she get some rest, I didn't damage her too badly yet."

"Yet?"

The warrior stoped in front of a house "Kagomay? Are you in there?"

The door opened and Ein gave the sleeping woman into another pair of arms, "Mke sure she gets rest" He then looked down at the little girl "Stay with her until I get back, ok?"

 

[Chantal Marchon]

Ein is walking towards the little girl’s home which is still some miles away.

A faint call is wafted on the air from a great distance. But then he hears nothing else.

 

[hybirdx]

Ein looks around, completely confused "Wh-what? What the hell just happened?!"

Ein shook it off and began to walk torwards the hous again. He stopped right in fron of a huge house "This is it..." and hit the door five times

"Ein!" as soon as Ein said that the doors opened and an woman walked out, right into the snow with out any fearsof frost bite "Did you find her?"

"I did"

"Where is she?"

"Hiding, I found out some new info, and I want to ask you something, NOW."

Hearing that tone of voice, the woman knew that hr daughter hd spilled th beans "Bring her here, then we will talk."

 

[Khadgar]

Kenshin

Kenshin continued his walk, he had met his friend Lisuka earlier, and was not wandering. he had heard some clashing of blades earlier, but what point was there in investigating? he would proabbly hear the same sounds somewhere else the same day. such was life in Kyoto. his mind drifted back to when he was a boy....

the moon was low in the sky, and his big step sisters smiled at him. it was a cool evening, everything was okay, except for the fact that every step took him closer to his new master. sold as slaves he had not choie where he went, but his walk was something he enjoyed. out of nowhere arrows and spears rained down, dropping the people around him. bandits rushed from the reeds, slaying the guard, and not stoping at the slaves. one of his step sisters fell to the ground, and everyone turned to run to the reeds. but they were surrounded. his second step sister begged these attackers to stop, she was silenced when a blade split her chest. his third, and last sister grabbed him, and layed over top of him, protecting him.

Kenshin looked back up and continued walking.

Janus

IC: I was walking down the street and I bumped into what apeared to be a samari, not dressed for comabt and in deep thought. An X shaped scare was on his cheek. Although he looked no bigger then me I was knocked back a step.

"*Pardon me.*" Wait a second he dosen't know latin. Okayt how do youi say sorry in Japanese. Shit and there in the midle of a war too. Come on think, sorry, sorry. Oh yea. I rember now. "Sorry." Maybe he knows where the Inn is. "Inn"

OOC: "**" = Said in Latin instead of Japanese. I'll probably get a lot of use out of this.

 

[hybirdx]

Ein walked in the streets lost in thought "Damn... how am I going to get this straighten out? maybe I should sleep on it..."

He saw two people talking, one looked like a good fighter, the other didn't look japanese 'Inn?'

He saw that the foreinger needed some help, he walked over and "Gome nasai" (I think it means I'm sorry)

"Do yu need help?"

 

[Khadgar]

Kenshin

Kenshin stepped off the low railing and looked slightly up at the stranger. he spoke something in a strange language, he had no idea what it meant, maybe Lisuka or someone could help him with it. the man said "inn" next.

another man walked up and appologised for the first. Kenshin's palm strayed to rest lightly on the hilt of his Katana. he nodded and pointed down to the left, away from the river. that was after all where a couple inn's were.

 

[hybirdx]

"ah a inn?" The warrior with an an scar pointed to the houses before Ein could, he also noticed that this guy was prepaorog himself for a possiable battle, just in case, so did Ein

Janus

IC: 'Blah...you....blah... help' Well I understood to waords. It dosen't look like this guy is going to kill me. A second man walked up. Then the first person pointed down the road. 'Something.... Inn'

Hmm, maybe I wasn't as lost as I figured it's just down the street. "Fuck you" I hope thats how you say thank you. I started to walk donw the street. Waveing good bye.

 

[hybirdx]

Ein gavean ow grol at te guy who just left, and in fluid latin said "Some nerv yu got pal!"

 

[cats]

Janus

IC: '*Some nerve you got pal.*' I fell into shock finally some one who understands me. I turn around "*You speack latin?*" A smile comes across my face. "*Thank god. Do you know a way I can get back to Itally?*"

 

[hybirdx]

"*won't be back for two months*" he said walking slowly torwards him, forgeting his sword in the hilt, "*Now mind telling me why you said ''fuck you''?! *"

 

[cats]

IC: "* I didn't say Fuck you, I said thank you. And what won't be back for two months..... a ship.*"

 

[hybirdx]

"*Didn't say thank you! You sad Fuck you ya as! BAKA!*"

 

[Khadgar]

OOC: good time to point out, there IS an ooc for this kind of thing. and io'm pretty sure the word "fuck" doesn't exsist in this time.

 

[cats]

Janus

IC: "* What the hell dose Baka mean?*" This is going no where. "*You know what, Thank you. And I'm Leaveing it at that*" I turn around and walk down the street.

 

[hybirdx]

"It means stupid ya mule!" Ein said in japanese. Just then he heard a sound that was familar to an ninja, "Assasins..... But why would they be here?"

 

[cats]

Janus

I take a couple more steps. I was a little unnerved sense the other two guys seemed to be on guard. I stop and put my left and on the helt of my rappier.

 

[hybirdx]

Ein taken a step back, knowing that it will give him a slight advantage if he uses it wisely, waiting for at least one of them to foolishly strike

 

[Khadgar]

Kenshin

Kenshin looked at the other two. they had felt some kind of presence he supposed, there were other people around, and all of them could have weapons, so he let it slip. he did not let his palm drift from his hilt however.

 

[hybirdx]

Suddenly a dagger hit the ground near Ein, and another was headed for his head, but he ducked it and swiftly pulled out hois sword

 

[Khadgar]

Kenshin

Kenshin watched the dagger fly into the tree beside him, and saw several others heading towards one of the other two men, wether he was a good man or not, he did something to warrant his death, Kenshin's Katana flew from it's sheath and spiced the dagger, before it fell to the ground however, Kenshin had the blade in it's seath and dropped over the edge of the wall, into the brush beside the river, and dissapeared.
