Hey guys, new chapter! Please enjoy~

Also if Kenshin is/was ooc, then i apologize! It's been a while since i watched the anime, so i'm only going off from what I can remember. I also considered putting the rest of Kenshingumi in, but then I realized that they wouldn't serve much of a purpose yet. Don't worry though, they'll make an entrance in the future!

One more thing, should I write in first person or third person for Shiori's POV? Comment and tell me which you like better. For now, i'm going to write first person.

"Oh, why you!" Kano shouted, while I continued to easily avoid the slashes of his sword. Ah, this is too boring! "I'm not even trying." I smirked, which only made him angrier at me. "Gah, I only want your bounty!" he shouted in anger.

It was then that I heard the police whistle. Quickly, I tucked my sword back into its sheath and hid it out of sight. Can't get arrested for something petty like having a sword.

"Heh, baka-san, you might want to put your sword back~" I whispered cheekily. "Wha-"

"Everybody, please go back to your business." I heard the police. Heh, time to put my acting skills to the test!

"Officer-san!" I cried out, faking tears. Kano seemed surprised by my 'attitude change.' Must mean it's working~

"This man suddenly attacked me with his ILLEGAL sword! Hidoi yo ne!" I complained, emphasizing on illegal. Kano cursed, realizing his sword was in plain sight.

"Keh! I'll be back for you, you lying wench!" he shouted, before running off. The police officer chased after him. I watched them leave before chuckling to myself. Men are idiots, being persuaded by a woman's tears.

Kenshin and Kaoru POV

They watched in the sidelines as the woman blamed the man for attacking her. "That is some good acting. I wonder if she went to school for it." Kenshin commented, making Kaoru blink in confusion. "What are you talking about, Kenshin? That ojou-san is crying! You can't fake crying!" Kaoru replied. Kenshin smiled. "Kaoru-san, that is why it is good acting." Kaory frowned, crossing her arms. She never did like being proven wrong.

Shiori's POV

Well, I finally have that goon of my trail. How lucky!

I smiled, suddenly in a good mode. I unfolded my arms, my sword back in sight now. "Haven't you heard?" I heard from a man by a stand. He was talking with another, slightly fatter man. "Heard what?" The other man asked, as I scooted a little closer to hear clearly.

"Well, apparently, the man known as Battousai is in this town." My eyes widened, and I turned my head. No way, that's impossible!

"Excuse me!" I tapped the knowledgable one. "Hm?" he turned his head. "You said something about the Battousai being in this town. Do you know exactly where?" I asked. "Huh? Well people are saying he lives in the Kamiya Dojo, but i'm not brave enough to see if it's true. What does an ojou-san like you want with a manslayer anyway?" he informed me.

My lips pursed into a straight line. "None of your business. Thank you anyway." I replied, before walking off to find this Kamiya Dojo.
