Character(s): Saitou and Kenshin
Content: Saitou leaves Aiches and goes to meet Kenshin.
Setting: Paixao Central Station, J6
Time: Late afternoon
Warnings: none yet~


Running away from the hospital was much easier than he had expected. Of course, the staff probably did not expect him to be walking around for at least two more weeks. It was also very convenient for him to have been placed in a room on the second floor. Jumping down from a greater height would have hurt his hips even more. He had sat down below his window for half an hour before walking again to recover from the pain. He is feeling much better after making his way across the city however. Having had to lie on a bed for days was just torture.

Leaning on one ornately decorated pillar of the Paixao Central Station, he exhales the smoke from his mouth languidly. The station is a pretty big place and they did not decide on any particular place or time of meeting. He had simply told the battousai to stay put, and knowing Kenshin, the redhead is probably staying put somewhere. Saitou would not admit it but the reason why he is not walking around looking for Kenshin is because he is tired.

He hasn't tried, but Saitou wonders when he can start really fighting properly again. With his legs being such a pain, he wouldn't be a very dangerous opponent at all. This is very worrying indeed.

The idea time travel could be possible, was almost impossible to wrap ones mind around, but then again, so was being magically transported to some other world. The possibility suddenly seemed less impossible.

Kenshin's brows furrowed as he spoke, "Sessha has not been yet to Shishio's base. Sessha does not even know yet where it is located." It was information they had not yet aquired. "Sessha... was in the mountains before he came here."

A frown then formed on his lips at the idea he had, or will in the future rather, kill the Tenken. However, Saitou sounded uncertain of what had occured during this fight with Soujirou, or the actual outcome. Whatever had happened, Kenshin knew he could not have possibly killed the Tenken with the ougi now his.

"Sessha will not kill," he said, flattly.

Saitou narrows his eyes as Kenshin speaks. As improbable as it may sound, time travel might just be the answer to the misunderstanding. Saitou looks at Kenshin from the corner of his eyes when the Battousai falls silent and frowns at a certain thought. It is not rare to see the redhead making that face. His conscience disturbs him.

It is something that Saitou would love to laugh at him for, if not for the fact that his resolve is admirable. Saitou smirks at Kenshin's final statement, "I wasn't telling you too."

Tapping the ash from his cigarette before putting it back on his lips, Saitou pushes himself off the pillar to turn away from Kenshin. They were enemies in the past, and turning your back to your opponent is simply idiotic. But Saitou respects Kenshin enough to know that the Battousai's words can be trusted. He will not kill. "What do you plan to do now?"
