Rica a little girl the age of 12 was walking along an unpaved road with woods on both sides. It was early in the morning, with birds flying across her path. “Good morning. You’re looking well.” Rica smiled at the birds, putting one hand out with her finger extended as one bird alights on it, she smiled and laughed. She saw something quite a bit over in the woods, it was Maken.

She thought to herself, “Mr. Maken? What is he doing here this early in the morning?” Maken closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and erupts in a ear splitting battle cry. Around him, trees split and splinter with the aura’s force coming from him. Rica screams and falls to the ground. Maken stops and walks to her, “Miss Rica? Are you all right?” “Yes, um good morning,” she said sheepishly. They started walking together down the path, Maken looked at her, “So you’re going to mow the fields for harvest?” “Yes for the restaurant, by the way, were you practicing?” “You couldn’t really call it practice. It’s more of an exercise strict control of one’s aura, so my body won’t get rusty. But let’s not tell the others about this.”

“But Mr. Maken, of course you can train your body and mind. You don’t need to hide.” “No, but I don’t want to deliberately make it known. If I don’t do this from time to time, my heart’s condition worsens, and my emotions get darken. The sword, the fight- - a swordsman is bound to these two things by bonds he cannot sever. But with me returning, I haven’t wanted any one to notice.” “Oh, I’m not sure if I understand.” Maken patted her head, “It’s a bit complicated sorry, sorry.”

They came to a fork in the road. “Well I’m headed this way Rica.” “Thanks for carrying my basket. Oh, and don’t forget everyone’s meeting at my place! It’s to celebrate your safe return didn’t they tell you that?” “Sort of, but why. We’ve been eating and drinking since every thing has been over since last month.” “Well Swipe said we should.” “Swipe is just looking for a free meal I wish I could think like that,” Maken shook his head and laughed.

“He’s late!” Swipe yelled. “He’s got half an hour, he’s probably taking it easy in this heat. Anyways you’re always late.” Makenize told him off. “Yeah but no one expects me to be on time.” Rica and her older sister start to set up the table for them when the door opens. “Hey you’re late!” Swipe yelled but it turned out not to be Maken. A very large well muscled man comes in. Bandages are wound around the stump where his left hand should be. Rica’s older sister went to him, “Welcome sir how can I help you? “Give me the cheapest meal you have.” “Right away I’ll get the food ready.”

She brings out the meal. Vivi looks at her, “That’s not the cheapest meal.” “It’s okay I’ll charge him the same price.” Swipe got into it, “That’s enough. If you’re feeling sorry for him cause of how he is you can stop that right now. Shallow sympathy like that just looks like scorn and pity, especially someone like that guy.” “No that’s not it, he probably fought in the last war. It’s because of people like that, we live in peace. The least I can do is showing him my thanks.” Rica sister bickered at him. “Sympathy or pity, he’ll let you know.”

“Here you go sir.” “I asked you for your cheapest meal.” He grunted. “Well, that’s.” He stopped her, “Thank you very much Miss.” Rica smiled, “Oh I’m so glad.” Her and her sister started singing “Love and Peace.” Vivi and Makenzie knuckled Swipe and Vivi spoke. “See, people can tell what you really feel, but I guess after what we have been through it is hard not to doubt people.” Swipe shrugged, “Yeah I guess so.”

Outside the restaurant Maken was helping an old lady. “Thank you very much I know my way around here.” “No problem, ma’am the streets can be tricky be careful.” “I will.” “I’m a little late but that’s ok, I’ll make it.” Just as Maken comes in, the man leaves. Just for a moment Maken saw his face, and startled but didn’t show it too much. The man just walks on. Maken thinking, “There’s no mistaking him, that’s the man I.” “What’s wrong Maken?” Vivi called out to him. (Flashback) Maken and that man were fighting in the darken streets. Maken takes off the man’s left hand with a massive upward stroke. (Present) Maken thinking more, “I don’t think he realized I am MakenZero.”

Later that night on a large hill away from the city, the man from the restaurant climbs the hill. Only to find the bleached hair man with shades standing waiting for him on the hill’s peak. “Well how was the restaurant, Jax?”

Hey everyone! Hehe, yeah everyone’s doing this, so I thought I would see what going on with it myself. How is everyone? What do you think of the story tonight. I think Swipe is a bit harsh, I wanted to make him more the comic relief but still an @$$ kicker. Yet there hasn’t really been a time for that just yet.

College is going fine. Can you believe Halloween is tomorrow!?! That’s crazy! By the way would everyone who hasn’t heard that jenniferherself.mindsay.com dad has passed away unfortunately. Tomorrow will be her last day on the blog for a while. I’m really hoping there’s a way to get her to come back, she’s such a sweetheart and very dear to me. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I’m sorry there hasn’t really been any action; however you need story before the action. It’ll get good I promise! I want to do some more. The real reason why it’s taking me so long is, these are the ones I haven’t done and I have to type them out them out, and look back and forth between the Kenshin translations to change what’s going on. The names now are getting a bit much. I only have a few characters and it’s hard when another character appears. I just can’t wipe them out. I was thinking about skipping this whole part, but then I realized that Maken was suppose to go to the restaurant, and I had already posted it in here.

It’s hard to keep things going in a story like that. I don’t want to confuse, or make this any longer then it needs to be. But if you’re having trouble and don’t want to sit through reading my blog for so long. Just pick either the story or the (real entry) to read. Then maybe you can come back later and read. That’s usually what I do. You think you’ve seen long stores. Hah nothing yet. When we get more into Maken’s past. The translation have it here, but the thing is. I wrote out the last 20 minutes of the Anime movie Samurai X: Betrayal (Kenshin’s 4 parts creating a 2 hours movie about his past, incredibly violent.) Yeah I had to watch that last part at least 30+ times to get down what happen. And that was two years ago, now I’m going to have to change some things. But we’re still no where near that.

In other news, I was talking to my brother, and he said cartoon Network will be showing movies next year. It’s about time, they will be showing: Cowboy Bebop: Knocking On Heaven’s door, and two Inuyahsa movies. I still haven’t heard any word on new Family Guy yet. Maybe next year, but who knows. It’s still taking a while. Cartoon Networks main purpose now is to get MORE female viewers, and to beat NICKOLODEN.

I played Grand theft Auto: San Andreas. Which would be Grand Theft Auto 5 lol. It’s freaking awesome, reminds me so much of Boyz in the Hood. They have a character in there who looks exactly like Eazy E it’s crazy. Good old Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. Samuel L. Jackson actually plays a character in this game! It’s really very on target about how it was and still is. This game is huge. I went all over the place and I maybe not even got ¼ of the map yet. It’s insane. I must have been driving see how far I can get the map out lol. Anyways that’s it for tonight. Enjoy the story and I’m off to play that game and comment on some people.
