Shaman Rurouni
It was nice to get out of that camper for a little while. Being all stuffy and everything, and everyone was bitchy and hungry... Well, almost everyone...
That had been an hour ago. The group of shamans had stopped next to a river and had lunch. And Laura got soaked.
It was there. A rope over the river. Laura tried to ignore it, but couldn't.
It was obvious that Laura was prone to impulses like that, no matter how stupid.
The group was now back in the camper. Faust had taken over the driving. Laura was wrapped up in a towel, still soaking wet, smiling insanely. Kenshin was looking out the window. The rest were napping.
Kenshin enjoyed the silence, no matter how insanely Laura was smiling. The Himura girl was nothing like all the other psychos he met. not including himself.
Of couse, there are just times where Laura isn't going to involve anyone else in her insane moments.
Slowly, the seanery began to become more familiar, and soon the camper slowed down to a halt. Kenshin could se a resonably large house. This was the Asakura residence.
The smile on Laura's face instantly changed to goofiness. She hoped out of the camper and ran to the house.
"GRAM-PA-PA!! WE'RE HERE!!!" She yelled.
Needless to say, everyone that was taking a nap was woken up.

Sylva just sighed as Karim snored. This trip was going to be a long one. All because a stupid prophicy had to come true a little later than expected. The shaman fight had already started, and now a newbie would have to go through his preliminary rounds.
This trip better be worth it.
Karim continued to snore. Sylva had to stop this, so he elboed his partner.
Karim continued to snore.
Sylva just sighed.

"So, he is in need of training?" Yohmei Asakura asked his granddughter.
Both were talking about Kenshin's shaman training.
Laura had a somewhat seirious look on her face. "Yeah. He's a little confused about the whole thing, but he is getting over it, some what."
Yohmei looked at Laura. You do know what this means? If he dies in the shaman fight and, or, cannot return to his own time, you do know what will happen?"
Laura took a deep breath. "H-hai. I do know what will happen."
"Well then. So your ready for the consiquenses?"
"Hai."
Yohmei nodded, then both left the living room. Both masked the tension that went with the conversation
"So, Kenshin," Yohmei asked. "Your training starts tommarow.
"Hai." Kenshin responded.
"Grandpa!" Yoh yelled, startling Kenshin and making him trip.
"Oooorooooooroooo!" Kenshin said as he fell flat on his face.
Yoh stopped at the door way, snikering.
"Kenshin's not to graceful." Laura said, stating the obvious.
"I see..." said Yohmei.
This was going to be a long week.

Kaoru locked herself up in her room. 'It can't be true. Kenshin can't be gone....' she thought, oblivious to the fact that Yahiko was pounding on the door, yelling at her.
"YOU CAN'T STAY IN BED ALL DAY!!" he yelled. "KENSHIN WILL BE BACK!! I'M SURE OF IT!!" Yahiko was lying. He thought he was lying.
Still, there was a chance that Kenshin could return, somehow, in a way, they knew Kenshin would return.
They Just did not believe it, though.
*******
The portal had grown. only slightly, but it had grown. It was showing potential. The shaman who was creating it wasn't even aware of what was going on. Hao knew. he knew the prophecy.
He would take advantage of it.
