((Thanks, I didn't want to make you mad or anything, but since it is a remake it wouldn't be nearly as good as the first. But yeah, I just think it will be more interesting without it.))

Togashis silent form walks down the street, the people around him paying the silent Samurai no mind.His Jingasa pulled low over his eyes, Togashi walks into a tea house and takes a place near the door yet with his back to the wall.
The matron comes over and hea makes the sign for tea, still not speaking.
the tea comes and he places a koku on the table, double what he owes but hes not going to be leaving at the momment.
He sits and drinks the hot tea, watching the streets of the city becoming a mingles mass of old tradition and the new world
Togashi dispised this change, hated it, cursed it when he was alone.
His alegence to the Shinsengumi was flawless, as was his record.
He dueled only when need, and the few times had caused the lives of to many.
The Scabard of the souldancer got in the way, poking at his hip.
He pivots it to a more comforatable place and continues to drink his tea, his free hand gripping the souldancers handpiece purely out of habit.

A man strode the streets slowly. His head covered by a straw hat. He smiled under it eternally. He moved slowly though, his black hair swaying in front of his face a bit. His form looking to be probably around 21 years of age or so. He strode in silence and looked about with that smile. People moved quickly out of his way. He held a weapon at his side, not to flaunt it, but for protection.
The weapon was a taichi, or so it seemed. It was S-shaped and placed oddly. The 'S' shape in the handle to contradict the blade seemed odd. Why would anybody do such a thing. The man would never answer, so many thought the weapon just for decoration and nothing else. He walked slowly, people ignoring him for the most part...he was just another ronin in their minds.
The man's unseen eyes strayed here and there, observing, seeking, taking in, and knowing everything. He had to, to just make sure that he wouldn't be surprised. He was one of the few masters in his chosen style of fighting. He breathed slowly as he walked continually, searching, and looking for something more maybe. Possibly it was just to do so, and all was a show for his own sake. But who knew any longer in this era. The war seeming to have an end in the distance. Who knew what such a man was for...

Togashi sees the form of an odd sword pass the tea house and he put the last of his bill on the table and left taking a place just to left of the man "your late"

((Okay, I'm going to do a bit of manipulation, with your new charie, Chaos, if you don't mind, that is 3nodding ))
There was a slight tug at the man's coat, the opposite side of the formiddible looking weapon. A small child, gender uncertain from a stranger's standpoint tugged stood by his legs. The child pointed at its throat, indicatign ehr thirst, ignoring the other man sitting at the table. The child had been tagging along with him for some time and had not spoken a word since since it had been saved from a dying village.

((Tis fine, and if you noticed Shasha-dono this man is Meiji. ^^;; And I know this is a lot like Rurouni Kenshin...but it will differ, and besides it's a good manga and anime whee ))
The man smiles down at the boy and then looks at the other man. His eyes sparkling a bit. "Late is how one sees it...besides, I think you might have the wrong man. Either that or you wish for death friend." He smiles and leads the child to another tea shop and leads him in. He takes him to a table and waves to the woman. "Sake, for both of us. Don't give me that look b***h, do what I said." He sneered, his eyes filled with an unquenchable flame of death.
The man looked at the child. He had named him Akira. He enjoyed that name, and the kid was very demanding it seemed. He would teach him well at least. The man leaned his head back against the wall as he waited for drink. He was one of the few, if not the only, person who carried the blade at his side. He stepped along slowly, he was a powerful man, unknown of who he worked for. No insignia adorned his garments to tell he was of Meiji. That was where he belonged though it seemed. Their last assasain was gone, and so he had been hired. A man with power and a bloodthirst misinterpreted for readiness...

((Sorry sorry crying Gaia didn't let me post xp I'm kind of sick, so I don't have the energy to make a long post))
Yumi followed Chaos like a shadow, all the time balancing on only one foot. Once in a while she closed her eyes for a while, but even though her eyes were closed, there was no visible change in her movements.

((and I'm wondering if Shasha will ever adjust his stuff <<; ))
((What stuff Choas, I changed my bio for you?))
((And im sorry I havent been posting, I coulnd get the wretched thread to load, GRARH!!!))
Togashi turns into an alley, leaving the trail of the man.
He pulls a sketched image of the mans sword from his jacket and sees that there can be no mistake, he is the target.
Togashi nods to himself, replaces the picture in his clothes, and than climbs up to the roof tops, using the vantage point as a way to track the man in silence.
Togashi could feel all the gold in his hands, the gold for killing this man.
His face hardens and he snaps forward, keeping to the roof tops as he persues him.

Chaos walks with Yumi quickly away from the girl behind them and out of the forest. Once out he sprints ahead without a sound. Now that there were no leaves there was no worry. He moved like a wraith still, despite the speed away and toward the sea. They needed to get there fast. It was night and only starting. They could feasibly get to the sea tonight and get there tommorow morning...he hoped...
Kashi yawned as the sake came. He grinned taking it before pouring it out for the boy and himself. He leans back and begins to play with the sake for a bit. "Can you feel him boy? Can you feel the man with a death wish? Feh...he wants me dead, the aura just emanates from him like an angelic being presents its' presence.
"He doesn't even know who I am and yet he wants to kill me, such a shame." He pours more sake drinking it slowly, as he reclines on the bench in silence again. A bit bored with the day. Only this man seemed to want to take him down. He was strong, that was obvious, but he wasn't mastered, from his clothes, and his presence that was easy to tell. Knowledge he had but not mastery...Such a shame.

Togashi slips from the roof tops and lands beside a messenger.
The man hands him a small scroll and Togashi is outraged by its contents.
"A change of plans my son, you are to only track this man and if possible, ally with him, I must know more of him before you can make any kind of aggresive act, and i know you understand"
Togashi crumbles the scroll and slashes the head from the messenger in his rage
"this is an outrage, and I could not befriend such a man, I hate him to much"
Togashi enters a brothel and uses his free time to try and get a handle on the situation.

((Yeah well xd ))
The man called her a boy for the reason that she looked like one, as well and out of habit. Maybe he knew maybe not, he didn't show that he did know though. Maybe he liked to entertain that idea. It made things interesting for him anyways. He sipped a bit more sake, his eyes closed. "What are you doing boy? Have something up your sleeve to do? And I wonder what our friend will be doing. He seems very interesting. His movements and such." He chuckles and sips a bit more sake as he sits there.
((Also when one moves like a wraith they leave no trace, but I'll entertain you.))
Sakura moved with Yumi across the field as the nearly nonexistant moon shown brightly. He left no trace once he left the forest, and he could only hope that Yumi wasn't either. He had been trained to be a perfect assasain, maybe jumpiness had left a few clues here and there, but nothing good enough, even in the forest, because of the recent rain to note. All the movements would fade and leave after a bit of travel. The forest would then take her a while to go through. Because they had turned. They hadn't moved straight. The had to get to the sea, and that required a turn, that she wouldn't make because of her blind run.
He had left no trail of the turn, and the tracks just disappeared, which she may notice after a while, but such miniscual details cannot be picked up at a run, even by him or Yumi, it wasn't possible. Sakura ran with Yumi, no sound, and no track outside of the forest did he leave. His breath was invisible and even, despite the hard run.

((maybe but Yumi didn't say she moved like one...at least I don't think so.))
Lotus ran past he point of their turn but after a few minutes she stopped seing traces and skidded to a halt. She cursed quietly and back tracked. Traces were hard to see so she had to concentrate. She found it but did not feel triumphant at all.
She had not used one of her skills around Chaos much but it might come in handy now. She made a copy of herself, a perfect image of herself. It went running in the direction, heading towards the ocean. She then went about and disguised herself, shifting her aura and her appearance.
A woman moved a bit slower after Chaos and his companion, she had black hair and cornflower blue eyes. Her over coat was a dark mossy green.
