From: dino1980@usa.net Hello there! This is my first attempt at a fan fiction, so the story may not be as good as the rest. Some of the story line is taken from a manga as a guide. The manga is in chinese and so I guess probably some of you will not really know. Anyway, This story involves most of the character in Rurouni Kenshin, bad and good. Therefore, I hope you can comment on it to help me improve in the writing. =) Anyway, Some of the characters are kind of OOC. Same old disclaimers still apply. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heroes on Earth - Part 1 By Dino In the hotel room, Aoshi looked at the three girls in front of them. All of them had very good figures and most of all, they had wanted him! Slowly they started to undress. "Aoshi, come here. We'll help you with your clothes." cooed one of the girls and started towards Aoshi. Wide-eyed, Aoshi spoke quickly to the girls, "Wait! Wait! There is no hurry! Besides, I can't handle all of you together!" "Oh… but we have faith in you, Aoshi" giggled all the girls together and started to reach and stroke him. "Oh… Is this a dream? It's too good to be true!" Aoshi said dreamily and then closed his eyes. * riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg * Aoshi shot upright and looked around. * sigh * He found himself back in his bedroom. He stopped his ringing alarm clock and moved to sit on the edge of his bed. The night before was extremely humid and he had only his underwear on when he went to bed. He looked into his underwear to find it wet. 'Darn! I have to change my underwear again. And this is already the fifth night in a row that this happen!' Aoshi thought to himself. Slowly he stood up and walked to the balcony in his room and exclaimed loudly," Well I guess this is normal to a 17-year-old after all. Anyway, I do hope to get such dreams more often!" With that, he smiled to himself. And then suddenly he noticed a girl looking at him from the opposite apartment. She was smiling and waving at him and more importantly, he found the girl very familiar. "What the -! " he darted behind the curtain, realizing that he had only his underwear on. Fanatically, he reached for his pants and quickly put it on. He walked back to the balcony to see who was the new girl that was staying opposite. His jaws dropped to the ground when he realized who was the girl, now waving so happily at him. " Ohayo Aoshi!" The girl on the opposite shorted out. 'Makimachi Misao! Oh no! What is she doing here?!!!! Darn! Luck is running out on me again! I had better move house!' He thought to himself and with that he rush downstairs to where his father had been reading his newspaper and eating breakfast. "Dad! We are moving now! I don't care where but we are moving!" He shorted to his dad. "What? Now? Are you insane?" His father said, looking at him as if he was from outer space. "I mean it! Moved now before my whole life is destroyed by that Misao opposite us! She is a jinx and she will ruin my future! Dad, you care a lot about me. So I am begging you! Let's move out now!" Aoshi said fanatically with fear in his eyes. He would never want to relived those very unhappy and unlucky times in his childhood. "Well, what is it all about Misao? She nice, pretty and free-going. I can't see why you hate her or even afraid of her so much." His father said patiently as he watch Aoshi get ready for his school which was just a few blocks away. "What is it all about? Let me tell you, it is about my FUTURE!!!" Aoshi shouted out loud, trying not to strangle his father who was so calm about it. "Let me tell you what happen to me last few times I am with her" With that Aoshi slowly related his side of the story to his father. * flashback * "The first goes to…. Shinomori Aoshi!" announced the judge as everyone applauded. Aoshi had entered in a story telling competition. He was only 7 then and he felt so proud of himself to have won the first. Misao had also entered for the competition and had gotten only a second. As all the prize winners walked in line to the guest of honor to receive their prize, Misao had been walking behind Aoshi. Aoshi could feel that Misao was very nervous. Suddenly as he was walking up to the guest, he felt someone had pulled his pants down. He turned around to find Misao grabbing his pants as she tripped and fell. Aoshi found his blood rushed to his face, giving his face the color of red. He couldn't believe it. 'What is happening!' he thought as he turned Around to find everyone looking at him laughing. He had almost felt that his tears were going to flow from their position any moment as some of the boys pointed their fingers at him, saying, "Look at him. Shame shame for showing your birdie in public!" After what had happened during the competition, his life was a torture whenever he was in school as all the boys teased him about the event and the girls shunned him, looking at him as he had been a pervert. Misao did try to make up to him but he hate her still the same. She had ruined his life. * flashback * Life had been back to normal as he had graduated and moved on to his high school. It had been the hand campaign and everyone was to help out in the cleaning of the school. He, of course, was helping out too. He had went to the ground floor to get some old rags and came back up to his class when he met her again. They both stopped in their tracks as each was blocking each other way. Misao was carrying a bucket full of dirty water and he quess that she was probably going to the toilet to change for a new one. However as he was moving to the side to let her pass she spilled the bucket and some of its content came spilling onto his uniform. She immediately jerked out to help him clean off the spill and apologizing at same time. As she was busy cleaning the spill ,and he worrying about not being able to clean it and worrying if she was getting to close to him, he misplace his left foot on the step and they went tumbling down the stairs. * bang * and all the students came running to them to see if they are hurt. Aoshi himself felt as if his world was spinning around him. His head hurt and he could feel a bump on it as he place his head on the hurting area. As he began to regain his position, he was shocked to death. What laid below him was Misao lying unconscious on the floor. Her clothes were all torn and bra was revealed to him. At the very moment, there came whispers from around him. He looked around to find the people who had gathered around were again looking at him and whispering. And again as in his former school, all the boys teased him about the event and the girls shunned him, looking at him as he had been a pervert. "Hmmm… You had meant that you and Misao had actually crossed each other's path so many times?" His father asked, putting his finger on his chin as if he was thinking. "No. I mean I am jinx by this woman this many times!" he said as he curled his fingers onto his father's neck. "Maybe you should get me her birth date and time. I'll checked it for you if both of you really meant for each other." His father told him again calm as usual, pulling his finger away from his neck. "What do you mean by 'meant for each other'!" Aoshi hissed again, making sure now that both his hands were on his father's neck. "Will you let go of my neck before I tell you what I meant?" His father asked. This time he had looked serious. Aoshi removed his hands finally, "Ok tell me now." He listened as his father cleared his throat before continuing his side of the story, "Well, you see, there is something they called fate. There must be some fate between you and Misao before you two can cross path with each other so many times. You two may even be couples in your previous lives if fate is bringing the two of you together." "What? She is my wife in my previous life? What do you think I am in my previous life? An idiot? I would rather marry a pig than her!" Aoshi glared at his father his hands had been out of control and were now strangling his father. * choke * "Wait! You will be late for school if you are going to strangle me, you unfillial son!" Aoshi looked at the clock suddenly, realizing what the tine was, he rushed out of the house with his breakfast and medicine. "Remember to take you medicine!" his father called out to him. 'The medicine' He looked at the pink pill on his palm. He had taken the pill daily since he was very young. So young that he don't even remember when he started taking it. He had refused the pill at first, feeling that he had taken the pill long enough. His father had always succeeded in persuading him into taking it, saying that he don’t take the pill he would go into a relapse of his mental health again. His father had also added that he would only take it until his 18th birthday had been celebrated. 'Two more days' He thought again as he raced to his school. "Hey Aoshi! Still haven't taken your pill yet? Your father would be very angry if he found this out!" Someone from the back called to him. He turned back to find his best friend running just as fast as he was, trying not to be the last one. "Ohayo Rei!" Aoshi shouted out to his friend stopping to let Rei catch up with him. "I'll take it during lunch! See?" With that, he hold out his should-be breakfast to his friend. "What? You brought lunch to school again? I can't believe it that you are saving up your money to treat your father to a dinner on your birthday. It should be the other way round isn't it?" Rei exclaimed, holding both his hand up. "Anyway do you intend to treat me too?" "Let's race to class. If you get there first, I'll treat you too." Aoshi said and started to increase his speed as he sped to his classroom together with Rei. He knew that Rei could never win him. He seemed to have the gift within him when he was born. --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- GRAB THE GATOR!
