"Kenshin?" I hear.

"Oro?" I ask turning.

"Are you okay?" Karou asks.

"Yes. I am fine. That I am." I smile. 

"Okay... but you seem kind of out of it." Karou points out.

"I am?" I ask.

"Yeah." Yahiko nods and kicks me.

"Oro?" I ask.

I look up. Why do I feel like I'm being watched? Why am I uneasy? I grip my sword. It's like this dark shadow over me. The clouds are moving relentlessly. I bite my lip. Something is watching me. I know it. I just can't figure out what.

"There you are. I was looking for you." Sano grabs my shoulder.

"Oro?" I look up at him in surprise.

"There's some trouble down on the river's edge. We got to go." Sano says.

"Can you be more specific please?" I ask.

"My buddies said so. They told me to come quickly so that's what I'm doing." Sano says.

"Yes that is good of you, that it is. But... why me?" I ask.

"Your swordsmanship obviously! Might need it whatever we face." Sano says.

"But-but-" I try to protest.

"Kenshin! Sano stop it!" Karou yells.

"Can't missy. We need to go now." Sano looks at me.

"Very well. That we should." I sigh.
