Sitting under a umbrella on the steps of the Kamiya Dojo was a very hot and sweaty Mystica. She waved her hand before her face to try and cool off. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, and let out a sigh. She stood up, her long hair being a real burden in this type of weather. She took the belt from her gi and put her hair up with it, not caring if it looked strange, it was too hot to care. Her first robe billowed out, falling to the floor, and she felt much cooler. She tied the second belt tighter so it wouldn't loosen. She sighed and watched Auyume and Suzume whine about the weather to Kenshin. She saw, eventhough it was too hot, Kaoru and Megumi yelling their brains out, and Misao and Sanosuke taking in the sun, lounging on the grass. And Yahiko was practicing Budo. * * * * In a old Dojo, known as Ryu Dojo, a student, of many years, with long raven hair and ice blue eyes, sat down before her partner, a man of the same age, with short brown hair and green eyes and smirked at him. "Deerest, we need to find Hitokiri Battou-sai. You know I am counting on you to find him." The woman said. The man looked at her. "Ojono Aku, you know I am trying my hardest, and once I find him, I will finish him." He said, his tone a promising tone. "But that..Mystic Samurai is guarding him..how will you defeat her..Ouno Yokoshima.." Aku asked, her voice as cold as her eyes. His eyes narrowed. "You have no confidence in me, do you? You think they are going to win, don't you? Well, they won't, onore!" Yokoshima spat at Aku. Aku's eyes darkened. "How DARE you say that to ME, EECHI!" Aku screeched and slapped him hard. He cringed as he felt the welt she had left. "Ouno-sensei? Ojono-sensei? You wanted to see me?" A gentle girl's voice asked as the door opened. Dressed in a tan and red gi, a girl of no more than seventeen years entered, her hair was straight and short, and it was white, making her purple eyes stand out. "Ahh, Shirono Shizuka-chan, my best student." Aku said, rising to her full 65 inches. Shizuka smiled at her sensei and watched her stand. "Hai, we did call you. We need you to go to Kamiya Dojo and find Hitokiri Battou-sai and Kiseino Mystica, and bring them here." Aku said, a cold smirk on her lips. Shizuka nodded. "Hai, Ojono-sensei." Shizuka said and walked out of the Dojo, carrying her Opal Katana, her white hair blowing in the breeze. * * * * "So, Himura-san has finally connected with Ryu Dojo and Aku and Yokoshima?" A man with black hair put in a ponytail asked the tall and skiny darkskined man next to him. "Assss far assss I know..he issss.." The tall man said. "Well then, I know you know what to do." The man with the ponytail said. "Desssstroy Himura Kensssshin, Ojono Aku, Ouno Yokosssshima and Kisssseino Mysssstica." The tall man answered. "Good Obo, let's go." The man with the ponytail said. "Hai, Dokusssshiko." Obo said to his master as they walked off. * * * * Shirono Shizuka walked through the entrance of Kamiya Dojo, her Opal Katana at her side. Not caring if she intruded or not, she was here to get Kiseino Mystica and Himura Kenshin. Megumi appeared before her. "May I help you?" She said and looked at the girl. Shizuka looked at her. "Himura-kun and Kiseino-san are to come with me." Shizuka in a somewhat ordering tone. Yahiko, Kenshin, Sanosuke, Misao, Kaoru, Kenshin, and Mystica came out of their rooms. "Himura-san..Kiseino-san..my sensei, Ojono Aku and Ouno Yokoshima, wish your presence at their Dojo, Ryu Dojo." Shizuka said to them. "And if we don't come?" Mystica asked, just wishing to know. "You have NO choice." Shizuka said in a cold voice. "Excuse me? Ara, hai we do." Mystica said, her tone sharp. "You will NOT disrespect my sensei by not coming!" Shizuka growled and unsheathed her Opal Katana. "Watashi Shirono Shizuka of the Ryu Dojo, student to Ojono Aku and Ouno Yokoshima, and for their respect and the respect of Ryu Dojo, I shall teach you a lesson!" Shizuka said, pointing her Opal Katana at Mystica. It glowed with awesome power as she closed her eyes and the sign of another type of warrior glowed on her forehead, Mystica gasped as she recognized the sign. "She's..she's a Kurairyu..Samurai.." Mystica whispered. "A..Kurairyu Samurai??" Kaoru asked. "Hai, a Kurairyu Samurai is the complete opposite kind of Samurai to a Mystic Samurai. They are just as powerful, but hence, they are of the EvilDragon Family, and so they do exactly the opposite a Mystic Samurai would, and carry a Katana, not a Sabakato." Mystica explained as Shizuka growled and charged her. Mystica unsheathed her Mystic Sword and stopped her. She closed her eyes and the sign of the Mystic glowed on her forehead and she slammed her against the wall, but it didnot harm her, the aura of white that surrounded Shizuka just made the attack literally disintigrate. Mystica watched as Shizuka jumped at Kenshin, but she shoved him out of the way and growled low in her throat. "You..dare..harm..Ken-chan.." Was all that Mystica said as she glowed fiercely with blue power, her eyes, body, and sword were encased in blue, as she raised her sword.
