(Author Notes: Story takes place right after Kenshin Himura VS Shougo Amakusa when kenshin loses, Haven't watched the series in many years so let me know if I get something wrong please. Also I'm unsure whether to continue this story or not please let me know, its hard writing about a character who's personality you have trouble remembering. Also this is right after he is made blind in his battle also when you hear Kenshin speak I always picture the original Japanese voice they had for him.)

The night was freezing, as the night sky failed to warm the souls of the living. The storm was not adding any effect to Kenshin's mood, or the sounds of the sea destroying rocks below. 'I'm sorry miss Kaoru, I have failed.' Were his last thoughts as the darkness seeped over his mind as he fell off the ledge of the cliff.
***********************

Kenshin slowly awoke to the sounds of people talking over him. "What do you think it is!" said a brash female voice. Curious to being called an it, he decided to remain silent to judge his current situation. Thinking over the past events in his head, he sincerely hoped his body wasn't mutilated after the fall. As he lay in the grass listening to the wind blow melancholy over the grass, he thought of his past battle with Shougo. His clothing was cut and shredded barley holding together sticking to him from his own perspiration. The beautiful pink which was his original shirt color was dyed red with much of his own blood. His breath was labored from the pain he was in each breath starting to get harder then the next. His consciousness was starting to wane in and out.

"That doesn't matter right now.... I mean.. ummm.... not that what you said isn't important or anything but, the poor dear is bleeding and needs help. We must simply get him patched up right away!" replied a beautifully timid voice.

"Fluttershy dear, what if this thing tries to hurt you afterwards! We all saw the weapon that thing was carrying." Cried a third unknown voice belonging to a certain fashionista pony.

Kenshin deciding enough was enough decided to speak up, " I will not harm you, I only use my sword to protect the weak. Also, it is a reverse blade it cannot cut."

"It speaks Equestrian?!" Cried out five voices in unison. 'Equestrian? I must be hearing things. Im so tired..' Battered and beaten, Kenshin's tired body finally gave way yet again to the sweet embrace of unconsciousness.

"I'm going to take him to my cottage he needs medical attention. STAT", said Fluttershy while turning her head as if some imaginary camera were to be zooming in on her while she said 'STAT'.

"No, Fluttershy this thing is dangerous I don't care what it said! IT still could hurt you." Responded Rainbow Dash while poking Fluttershy in the chest to emphasis her point.

"Rainbow Dash has ah point sugercube, it looks mighty dangerous if ya ask me."

"Well AJ, Princess Celestia wouldn't want us to let some unknown creature to bleed out in the park for fear of what it could do. Besides it's hurt and if it does try something there are more of us then there are of..... of...... it." Said Twilight trailing off confused to what gender or thing it could possibly be.

"Well do you think it's a he or a she? Wait a second, where did Fluttershy go?" The remaining ponies looked around in bewildered confusion.

"Ohhh... She's goooood! I guess hide and seek has started. Applejack your it!" Yelled a certain hyperactive pink earth pony, while she bounced and crouched behind Rarity.

Rarity not in the mood for this simply took a step to the side where Pinkie Pie just mysteriously vanished. Several jaws could be heard hitting the ground, "How did Pinkie, do that!" gaped Twilight. 'no, no, no. This is a slippery slope, she is Pinkie Pie enough said.'

"Pinkie come out this is no times for games." Yelled an irritated Twilight.

"Okie dokie lokie" said Pinkie appearing on top of Twilights head.

"By the way Fluttershy is on her way back she should be back from her cottage in another minute or so."

"Am not gonna ask how ya know that sweet pea, but do ya know why she disappeared without saying anything to us?" said a certain orange hayseed.

"Yeps!" Pinkie replied, while keeping quite and not explaining. Getting the attention and irritated glares from the entire group.

"Well Pinkie Dear, would you please explain to why Fluttershy left, why we have to ask this a second time I simply cannot fathom."

"Silly Filly, Rarity Wearity." Giggled Pinkie Pie, " AJ asked me if I knew, and I did know, she never asked to explain it. If you wanted to know you could have just asked. Well, I guess you did ask seeing as you just asked. But, if you can go back in time and as.."

"PIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKIIIIEEEE" yelled the exasperated group in unison breaking pinkie off in mid sentence.

"Yes girls?" Pinkie smiled while blinking innocently at the group.

"Just please tell us already!" Twilight hollered at Pinkie.

"Well I could now, but wouldn't it be super duper more exciting to see for yourself?"

"What do yah mean, pinkie?" butted in AppleJack while taking a step closer to her.

"Well just turn around and look at the funny wunny creature" said Pinkie, while yet again breaking the laws of physics and somehow hanging upside down on nothing before falling on her back.

All of the ponies with the exception of Pinkie were facing away from the mysterious creature, to look at Pinkie. Noting what pinkie said, the girls turned around to see that Fluttershy was stitching together the more ghastly cuts on Kenshin. Taking a closer look at his body in the bright summer day, they noted the jagged deep cuts on his body. The cuts were still oozing fresh blood which would just seem to refuse to close. Noticing the bleeding she bandaged up the wounds and start applying pressure. Thankfully he was unconscious or Kenshin would be in maddeningly unimaginable pain.

Somehow, in the time they were talking to Pinkie, Fluttershy had managed to retrieve her first aid supplies and kit from her home and was in the process of bandaging up the mystery creature. Somehow she managed to strip him of his clothing leaving him in nothing but his undergarments. She briefly considered stripping them also in case there were more injuries under there, but wisely decided to not do so.

"Hey, Fluttershy. Why didn't you tell us you needed supplies from your house? I could of did it in ten seconds flat." Said a boastful Rainbow Dash.

"Well, You really wouldn't know which medicines and tools I would have needed not that you couldn't get it if I gave you a description or something. I just couldn't stand the sight of him being hurt and acted as fast as possible to help him."

"Why didn't we just bring him to your cottage instead and save you the energy." Rainbow Dash replied to Fluttershy noticing her deep breathing from her exhaustion.

"Wait a second a him? How do you know this thing is a him? This is the first time any of us has ever have encountered this type of creature." Butted in Twilight.

Still working on Kenshin and bandaging him up. Fluttershy started blushing madly while continuing her work, "Well I when I was undressing him I noticed that he had a bulge in his underwear so could only assume it was his stallion hood."

"Suger Cube, You're gonna need to speak up so we can understand yah." AJ Retorted.

Same as last time Fluttershy was unable to be heard. Rainbow Dash knowing her oldest friend well, had expected as much and had put her ear right next to Fluttershy. Realizing what she had said, Rainbow Dash broke out into unrivaled laughter. Pinkie always one to enjoy laughter landed right next to Rainbow Dash. It was a frivolous sight with Pinkie Pie snorting with laughter right next none other then Rainbow Dash who was in the process of gasping for air while she clutched her tummy rolling around in the grass.

"Pinkie you heard what she said also?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"No, I just like laughing" Smiled pinkie.

"Rainbow Dash just tell us how she knew? Was it because the creatures voice?" Twilight asked?

"No, egghead" Rainbow Dash replied still rolling around laughing.

"There is no reason to call me an egghead Rainbow, please just be serious for a minute and stop rolling around laughing!" Twilight fumed

At this point in time Fluttershy was so embarrassed she had decided to ignore Rainbow and the conversation and continued to help the creature, flipping it over she carefully inspected for any more wounds. Curiosity filled her mind as she began to ponder what kind of big dumb meanie would possibly hurt another creature to this extent. Starting to settle down Rainbow Dash stood up a while stifling her adorable girly giggles.

"Fluttershy noticed a bulge on where his stallion hood would be while checking him out if you know what I mean." Rainbow Dash simply stated before starting to roll over on the ground and proceeded to laugh again.

"Rainbow it wasn't like that! I had to undress him to check on his wounds."

"I know, I know I'm sorry Fluttershy I shouldn't be laughing. But, you have to admit the situation is kind of funny."
While the rest of the group tried there best to not laugh at Fluttershy's expense. Some having more control then others. Fluttershy continued to inspect the back of Kenshin's body for wounds.

"I am positively sorry Fluttershy dear, it was wrong of me to laugh at a friend." The marsh mellow said.

"Ahm, ashamed of myself that's no way to treat a friend. Ahm sorry Fluttershy." Apple said turning to look at Fluttershy while taking her hat off and looking at the ground positively ashamed.

"I am sorry to Fluttershy, I never meant to hurt your feelings. I should only giggle at the ghosties and not at friends, I should only laugh with friends." Said a down cast Pinkie while her mane appeared to lose some of its poofiness.

"It's alright Rainbow, I can understand why you and girls think it's funny and I forgive you. I've worked with animals for a long time and I can usually tell the genders apart immediately. It's voice didn't sound all to masculine and he sounded young also, so it was hard to tell. I never met anything like it so its hard to tell I was only checking for wounds." Fluttershy said while blushing.

"Were you sure that was the only motive you had for undressing him?" Asked Rainbow dash giggling.

"OWWW" Yelped Rainbow dash as AJ smacked her with a hoof upside the head.

"Sorry again, I just can't help myself."

"Its Alright Rainbow, your only being you, and I like you for being youself."

"Thanks Fluttershy, it won't happen again. For now at least."

"OWWWWWW AJ STOP IT!" Rainbow yelped again as AJ proceeded to hit her for the second time.

"So Fluttershy, why didn't we just take him to your cottage to bandage him up instead of doing it out here?" Asked Rainbow

"Well, I was afraid that if we would have tried to move him his wounds would have opened up even wider and some of his wounds that have closed already would have reopened and put him in considerable pain. Also, I didn't know the extent of his injuries so I wouldn't want to risk him to bleed out while trying to move him."

"Wow I'm surprised you took action so fast and had this much thought process in it. While you getting supplies I was almost trying to figure out pinkie again instead of paying attention to the creature." Said Twilight.

"Twilight you really shouldn't try to do that. You remember what happened last time don't you?" Inputted Rarity.

"I know, I know Rarity. Well anyway we need to think of a plan. The closest place is my library so lets move him there. I need to send Princess Celestia a note on this. Rainbow I'm going to need you to stay at my place in case he wakes up, the more eyes watching him the better. AJ if you could drop off some apples for us to eat and some for him when he wakes up I'd really appreciate it. I can pay for the apples with my bits. Alright any questions?" twilight stated.

(Just want to give a shout out to my homeboy Kapwnage who gave me tips on how to rewrite and improve my first chapter. He gave me pointers on how to improve my writing. Check out his story, " Spider-Man : Edge of Equestria" if you haven't already. It's a spider man crossover (shocker I know right?) its freaking awesome and you should read it if you haven't read it already."

While the creature was unconscious and in Twilight's bed with its tattered clothing back over it, Twilight decided to study it as much as possible. This made no sense to her she has been through all of her books on even the ones on mythology, but nothing explained what it could possibly be. It was already starting to get dark by the time she gave up searching for answers in her books. Twilight decided to just study it the old fashion way, dissection....... (Just kidding) She decided to start off by taking notes on its muscle structure, taking notes on its facial features. She then decided to take note on its oral composition aka the teeth. Using magic to open its mouth to look she noticed the human canine teeth, Twilight let out a loud girly scream. Spike came running into the room.

The scream woke up Kenshin from his deep sleep and as soon as he started to sit up he was pinned to the wall by a unknown force. It didn't feel like hands or a specific point of where his body was being pinned. But, it felt as if his body was being equally pushed back at all points evenly. It was a unexplainable tingling sensation against his body.

"Hello? who's there, Where am I, I mean you no harm."
Twilight scared angry but yet confused.

"Y-Yo-You eat meat!" Twilight accused

"WHAT! we have a pony eating monster in here!!" spike yelled in fright.

Thoroughly confused at what was happening and somewhat scared being called a monster. He was in no condition to protect himself if he was attack. He injured not sure were his katana was and had no sight.

"I assure you I mean you no harm, whatever the problem is we can talk this out peacefully and maturely? You have bandaged me up and saved my life, Can you please release from whatever your doing to me?" Kenshin asked politely.

"B-B-But YOUR A CARNIVORE I SAW YOUR FRONT TEETH! If I release you how do I know your not going to try to eat me when you get hungry?"

"Im sorry miss, but I never did quite catch your name?"

"My name is Twilight Sparkle"

"Well Miss Twilight, I am sorry if I scared you. I hardly eat meat, I can live without it. I usually just eat vegetables and fruit" Kenshin said opening his mouth to show his molars.

Twilight visibly relaxed after she heard Kenshin hardly ate meat and could live without it. she just noticed Kenshin had his eyes closed even though he was sitting up in bed and facing her direction. She took notice of his elegant long red hair that was not bound up was running down his back. The cross shaped scar on his cheek and so many other scars she had seen on his body. Lowering her magic she released her magic hold on him.

"So your an omnivore then?"

"Twilight, What are you doing HE EATS MEAT! WE NEED TO PUT HIM IN A DUNGEON!" Spiked panicked to twilight

"Spike relax, I can handle myself"

"Anyway, What's your name seeing as I can't just keep calling you the creature."

'The creature, alright so they are the same species as me. Very unsettling. They don't seem like a violent bunch seeing as she saved me and only held me against the bed instead of attacking me. If they wanted to kill me I would be dead right now.' Kenshin internally spoke to himself.

"My name is Kenshin Himura, please just call me Kenshin."

"Alright Kenshin, What are you and why do you keep your eyes closed?"

"I'm a human, my vision was taking from me in a fight I lost."
An awkward silence filled the air, until a certain dragon broke the silence. "How do we know your not lying to us? spiked accused pointing a claw at him.

"What reason would I have to lie?"

"Well, I guess you make a fair point." Spike reasoned.

"Well seeing as I am blind would you mind, telling me what type of creature you are"

"I'm Spike, and I'm a dragon!" Spiked huffed proudly with his chest pushed out.
Kenshin then let out a quite chuckle.

"WHAT IS SO FUNNY!" Spike demanded walking close to kenshin.

"Sorry, it's just dragons are sacred mythical beasts from my land. I have trouble believing one can be as small as you."

"Well he is just a baby dragon after all" Twilight interrupted before Spike could get another word out.

"Be that as it may, but you aren't a dragon are you? You stand on four legs which is quite odd." Kenshin replied to twilight.

"How did you that I wasn't a dragon also and I stood on four legs?" Twilight asked quite curious.

"I find myself listening more then I did before, I hear everything more clearly then I did before. I could hear you walk and the way you breathe suggests you are a different species then your friend next to you."

"Interesting" Twilight mumbled.

"OHHHH he's up!" said Rainbow Dash as she walked into the room.

"Just get done with work Rainbow? I'm surprised you aren't napping." Spike replied to Rainbow Dash as she walked into the room.

"Well, I would be napping but meeting this thing is just so much cooler. Plus, after I got done with work I did promise twilight to help keep an eye on him." Rainbow retorted.

"Hello, there Rainbow" Said Kenshin in a friendly voice.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!" Dash yelled flying up in kenshins face, snout to nose.

'Wait, she is furry? What kind of creature am I talking to? A creature with four legs that is furry? She isn't on the bed and from the air pressure i am feeling on me she must be hovering in my face. what strange powers do these creatures have? Probably weighs around 50 to 120 pounds. Its like a large dog, or similar creature.' Kenshin thought trying to piece it all together.

"Spike just said your name. I am sorry if I have offended you, that was not my intent." Kenshin replied quite caught off guard at the physical contact.

"Ohh.. Well... Don't you try anything funny mister! Names Rainbow Dash. What is your name? What are you? Why were you wounded? What are you planning? ARE YOU A SPY?!" Rainbow fumed pressing his snout harder into Kenshins face.

"Rainbow calm down he has been through alot. Just let me ask the questions for now."

"Fine egghead ill ask my questions later. Defeated Rainbow flew back over and stood next to twilight by the door entrance.

"I'm sorry about of zealousness Kenshin, I'm sorry to hear about you losing your sight." A loud gasp could be heard coming from Rainbow Dash. Twilight ignoring this continued on, "As to your earlier question, your right I am not a dragon, I am a pony."

"How did you hold me down to the bed and how was Miss Dash flying?" Kenshin asked quite confused as to how pony's could talk and fly.

"Well I'm a unicorn and I kind of used magic to pin you down." Twilight said looking around a little sheepishly. "As for Rainbow she is a Pegasus."

"How'd you know I was flying just now? A ha! I knew you were lying about being blind. Trying to get us to pity you is that it? What are you planning!" Rainbow Dash said poking him in the chest.
Kenshin opened his eyes, it could be seen that there was a certain emptiness in them. He looked so young but, his eyes looked like they have seen much pain in his life time. Rainbow looked into his eyes and could see for herself that he indeed was not lying about this ailment.

"I am not planning anything Miss Dash. Please do not poke me my chest as it is still in pain." Kenshin politely said to rainbow dash who was now feeling guilty over her treatment of him.

"Listen I'm sorry for accusing you, I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying to protect my friends." Rainbow dash sincerely apologized to Kenshin.

"Wow, rainbow dash apologizing I thought I would ever live to see this day." Spike wittedly remarked to twilight.

"Spike!"

"Yesh! I get it Twilight! Sorry Dash. No need to yell in my ear twilight."

"So, I have another question for you Twilight. Ponies do not normally talk from where I am from. Neither do we have magic, or even flying ponies. Could you please tell me where I am? Last I remember I was falling down a cliff." Kenshin asked quite overwhelmed, and still processing all this information.

"Sure, Kenshin" Twilight smiled. " You are in the land of equestria. Co-ruled by the two princesses Celestia the ruler of the sun and Luna the bringer of the night." Twilight then went on to explain all about the history, about how Celestia raises the sun and Luna brings the night. She explained there society about the different types of ponies, cutie marks, how she was Celestia's personal student. She even explained how she sent a letter to her mentor asking if she knew anything about the kind of creature he was, and also how he was the keep her updated. She even explained how she found Kenshin just lying in the park injured.

"But, if you don't mind me asking how are you speaking equestrian Kenshin?"

"I am not speaking equestrian, I am speaking Japanese."
Processing this new information. Twilight decided to study the strange phenomenon later.

"If you don't mind me asking Miss Twilight what happened to my sword?"

"Why do you want your sword?" Rainbow butted in, sounding more curious then accusing.

"It lets me protect those, I care about. It's a reverse blade sword which cannot cut. I've already given my word I mean you no harm. I would just like it back." Kenshin replied politely to Rainbow Dash's outburst.

"Well, I've judged you not to be a threat. But, tell me what is a reverse blade sword. what is a sword. It looks like a skinny long cooking knife, I've never seen a weapon like it before." Twilight asked quite curious.
Well its true, they knew what a weapon was. But, in Equestria with no war and a drastically lower violence rate then in our world the only weapons they had where dual purpose. By this I mean, weapons they used were pitch forks, pick axes, cooking knives, and even shovels were used. They knew the word weapon, but they had never created weapons with the base purpose for just killing.

"My weapon is katana, its purpose is to kill." Kenshin said in a serious tone. A pen dropping could be heard in the room it was so deadly silent. "My weapon is the reverse blade katana, has a blunt edge instead of it being sharp so I do not kill my enemy. I only wish to protect those who are in need of protection."

*GRROOOOOOOWwwwwlllll* Kenshins stomach roared with hungry defiance.

"Well it seems all this talk has made me hungry." Kenshin said nervously chuckling trying to lighten up the mood.

"You need to stay in bed for the time being kenshin, we will talk more later, I will bring your sword up to you seeing it can't cut, and your in no shape to harm anyone anyway. I trust you Kenshin please do not break my trust.

"I promise you Miss Twilight I won't let you down. "

"Twilight are you serious about letting him arm himself?!" Spiked wined

"Yeah, twilight that can't be a good idea." Rainbow agreed.

"I can always take his sword away from him with magic if it gets to that point, I trust Kenshin he seems like a good fellow."

"But, how can you trust him you've only just met him" Spike complained

"I don't know, I just see something in him." Twilight replied.

' I may be blind but I am not deaf. Rainbow and Spike do make a valid point. I'm happy I ran into such kind creatures. This could have turned out much worse, that it could have. ' Kenshin thought.

"Kenshin how would you like some apples and some apple juice?"

"That sounds delightful, Thank you for your hospitality Twilight."

"Hey rainbow you can go home, I think me and Spike can handle it from here. Thank you for all the help."

"No problem Twilight. Time I get back to napping anyway. Bye Kenshin I'll see you tomorrow!" Rainbow waved leaving the room through a window.

Twilight returned upstairs to see that Kenshin had fallen asleep. Smiling she set a bucket of apples on the counter next to him and the drinks also she placed the sword leaning against the counter. Snuggling up next to him, she got comfortable under the covers. Since the guest mattress was ruined she would just have to sleep next to him. 'He isn't even the same species, doesn't matter if I sleep next to him.' They had so much to talk about tomorrow and they had just scratched the surface. Twilight didn't know why she felt like she could trust him so much, but it just felt right. Even when she heard the unsettling news he was carrying a blunt version of a weapon for murder, when she heard it was to protect she believed him. She had just sent a letter to Celestia over everything they replied in thier conversation, and she would wait till tomorrow until she told Kenshin the news.

Kenshin's first night in Equestria was anything but peaceful. Dark memories from his childhood were playing through his head. He dreamt of the caring mother and father he had before they passed away, which led to him being sold into slavery. He dreamt of the night in which three women who he had only known for a couple of days had given there lives to protect him. Three women the boy had failed to protect. He remembered her last words for him before she was murdered, "Shinta you must survive to honor those who did not. Save yourself." He remembered the man who had saved him, and who had later renamed him. He dreamt of each and every soul he had cut down during the revolution. The amount of blood on his hands was staggering, he had learned to move past it and repent by saving as many lives as he could. This man would repent with his own life if it was enough. Ever since coming to Equestria and speaking with Twilight Sparkle; he imagined the stark horror reaction she would give him if she found out the truth. No, when she found out the truth. This was not a simple matter he would hide away.

As the memories from the revolution continued to haunt him, he heard a sympathetic voice call to him in his slumber. "Thou will dream peacefully, human." Warm darkness overtook his mind, wrapping his mind like a blanket bringing comfort. Twilight groggily awoke to Kenshin's trashing at three in the morning. While she considered whether or not to wake him up, Kenshin had unknowingly thrown the bed sheets onto the ground. While Twilight was levitating the sheets back onto the bed, Kenshin's thrashing as randomly as it had started suddenly stopped. The pained expression upon his face grew into a sweet smile as his breathing became slower and easier. Deciding to just ignore the matter, Twilight snuggled up next to him curling the same way a cat would. Closing her eyes she returned to her slumber.

As Twilight slowly started to rouse from her sleep, Kenshin decided this might be a good time as any to talk to her. "Good Morning Miss Twilight, did you sleep well?"

"Morning Kenshin, I slept well thank you for asking. How long have you been awake?" Twilight asked as she slowly started to get her bearings.

"I've only been awake for a few hours."

"You have been awake for a few hours!" Twilight replied, quite confused as to why she was not woken up earlier. "Why didn't you wake me up, I'm so sorry about that."

"Don't be, you have patched me up and given me a bed to sleep in Miss Twilight. You also sounded quite cute sleeping snuggled up against me." Kenshin responded with a kind smile on his face. Twilight blushing madly with embarrassment buried her head in the covers with her rump sticking out facing away from Kenshin. Kenshin noticing her tried to change the subject. "I've never noticed, all of these wonderful sounds yesterday it is quite peaceful." He said at an attempt to clam her down.

"Please just call me Twilight, there is no need for the Miss." Replied Twilight taking her head out of the covers to look up at him.

As Kenshin was about to respond he was interrupted by his stomach, that let out a massive growl. His face flushed with embarrassment, " Excuse me Mi-, I mean Twilight." He replied, quickly unable to hide the blush from his cheeks from Twilight. 'Wait why am I blushing? She isn't human, I need to keep that in mind.' Thought Kenshin.

"Here are some apples Kenshin." Twilight giggled, while levitating an apple into one of Kenshin's hand. "Here let me set the bucket next to you its going to be on your left, ill leave the apple juice on the counter to your right. You can reach it from where you are sitting just reach out slowly and you should be able to get it. That or I can just levitate it to you if you prefer." Twilight responded, remembering that Kenshin was blind. ' I'll have to look up medical books later to see maybe if I can return his sight.' Twilight thought to herself.

"Kenshin, I set you're katana on the ground leaning against the counter. I also invited the girls over here today to talk to you." Twilight said to Kenshin while he was stuffing his mouth with as many as he could fit. Thoroughly amused, Twilight decided to watch Kenshin gorge himself with apples. Looking into his eyes she saw a pain in them, despite his brave smile he had across his face. Deciding to simply wait until the girls got here to ask serious natured questions Twilight decided to not ask about what he was hiding.

"So Kenshin, what were you listening to while I was asleep?" Twilight asked still looking into his mysterious eyes.

"Well Twilight, while I had eyesight I never paid a great deal attention to all the sounds around me which usually went unnoticed."

"Which sounds would those be?"

Before answering her, Kenshin slowly reached out and grabbed the Apple Juice on the counter top next to him. Taking his time he slowly downed the entire quantity of Apple Juice. Turning to face Twilight, he took a deep breath and exhaled calmly before he resumed speaking.

"The sound of the winds breeze ruffling the trees leaves, the chirping of the birds in the morning. Which reminds me twilight, I have never heard a building quite like this one before. Excuse me if I'm wrong Twilight, it sounds as if this building has leaves and branches? Kenshin asked quite baffled to what he was hearing.

"My house is inside of a tree, it is hollowed out but the tree itself is still functioning and alive."

'How is a hollowed out tree alive? Then again I am talking to a unicorn right now can use magic. Some questions are better left unanswered.' Kenshin thought.

As Twilight was just about to respond a certain Rainbow Maned Pegasus flew into the room followed by the rest of the mane six. At point in time Twilight was still on the bed next to Kenshin looking into his eyes.

"Hi Twilight, you didn't answer the door so we let ourselves in. I apologize if we are interrupting a private moment between the two of you." Said Rarity as they all backed out of the room embarrassed.

"WAIT WHAT! It isn't like that! We only slept together!" exclaimed a flustered Twilight Sparkle.

"Oh, my" Replied Fluttershy as she attempted to hide behind her mane.

"Love knows no boundaries!" Rarity said while posing quite dramatically.

Rainbow Dash rolling around on the ground laughing while looking at Fluttershy decided to crack wise. "Hey Fluttershy, Twilight is trying to take your stallion."

Try as she might Fluttershy couldn't sink into the floor. Fluttershy tried her best to hide behind her mane as she cowered in sheer embarrassment on the floor, hiding behind her mane and hooves. "I-I-I d-don't l-l-like Kenshin li-like t-that." Fluttershy stammered.

Applejack then proceeded to slap Rainbow Dash upside the head.

"OW AJ, Isn't your job to buck apples and not hit me upside my head! It was only a joke, I am still sore from yesterday." Rainbow Dash cried rubbing a hoof

"I don't know Rainbow, I'm ah starting to think about a change of professions." Cracked applejack.

"Oh, ha ha very funny AJ"

"Ahm sorry sugar cube, but you deserved it you know how Fluttershy is." Said Applejack pointing a hoof to where Fluttershy still was hiding on the ground.

"Nothing happened last night girls. I only have one bed so we shared it. Now, get those silly thoughts out of your head so we can get to business." Said an irritated Twilight Sparkle.

"But dear." Rarity started before being Interrupted by Twilight, "NOTHING HAPPENED!"

"I was only going to say that we accept you if you're in love with him."

"We're NOT like that Rarity! Maybe your boyfriend Tom and Kenshin can meet later."

"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again." Said Rarity, who was squinting angrily at Twilight.

"Who is Tom?" Asked Kenshin, resulting a chuckle from Applejack. Rainbow Dash not having as much grace rolled on the ground laughing her wings off next to Fluttershy who was still hiding."

"Drop the subject, and never ask again." Vehemently replied Rarity.

Kenshin felt something he hasn't felt in a long time. The fear of another being, this was quite different then the other type of fear. Which was the fear of the safety of a loved one. Cold sweat drenched his back when he imagined all the things Rarity would do if he brought up that taboo subject again. (Imagine what he is imagining, he used to be an assassin.)

Breaking the awkward silence that had settled in the room, Kenshin decided to speak up. "Hey so why did somepony decide to gasp loudly and run from the room." A loud unison facehoof of the remaining ponies in the room could be heard.

"That was Pinkie Pie a friend of ours, most likely your going to be thrown a party later tonight. She is a bit random, she gets like that when she meets new ponies."

Deciding not to state out the obvious that he wasn't a pony, Kenshin decided to just ignore that matter for now. Instead he decided to get acquainted with everyone else.

"Hello, My name is Himura Kenshin. It is nice to meet Twilight's friends."

"Bounjor, my name is Rarity. It is simply marvelous to meet you."

"Howdy, names Applejack. An I work at Sweet Apple Acres. Grew those apples you had for breakfast."

"Those apples were the best apples I have ever had. I thank you for them." Kenshin replied.

"Ahh.. Shoot sugar cube you should be thanking Twilight she bought them for you."

"Well AJ, I do get a huge allowance from Celestia, being her personal student and all. Though usually I spend it all on books."

"I thank you again, Twilight. I will pay you back one day, I give you my word on my masters grave."

"N-no problem?...*pause*... Kenshin." Twilight replied.

'Masters grave? OK that's creepy, maybe its a human thing.' Twilight thought to herself.

"Hello, my name is Fluttershy." She squeaked barely audible.

"She was the one who bandaged y'all up." Butted in Applejack.

"Thank you miss Fluttershy, you have saved my life. If there is anything I can ever do for you to repay you just ask me."

"Oh, it's quite alright. There is no need to repay me, I'll always lend a helping hoof to anypony who needs it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Fluttershy I will never forget it."

"Nice to see you again Kenshin. Just a friendly warning though I'm watching you." Stated rainbow dash eying him and then his sword next to the bed.

"Rainbow! Be polite!" Yelled Twilight, while she stood on all fours, a furious blush spread across her cheeks as she prayed to Celestia that Kenshin would not be offended.

"I am! He has his weapon back he needs to be warned."

"It is alright Twilight, Miss Dash's loyalty to her friends is commendable." Kenshin replied, while sitting up to stretch his arms. Pausing for a moment, hoping there were more apples he proceeded to reach his hand out and search the wooden bucket on the bed. Taking a deep breath he released a sigh which seemed to go unnoticed. With his chest exposed through the shredded clothing, he placed his back against the oak frame of the bed while he raised the blankets protectively around his shoulders.

"Well it is my element after all." Boasted Rainbow Dash as she puffed out her chest.

"I heard about the elements of harmony yesterday when Twilight explained them to me. I can really see how well it fits you girls."

"But, you can't see you're blind." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Rainbow Dash! That behavior is unacceptable, apologize to Kenshin at once!" Said an angry marshmallow.

"That was mighty low of ya Rainbow." Added Applejack.

"Sorry Kenshin." quickly replied Rainbow Dash, with her head bent over in shame her rainbow mane was draped across across her face. Her hair was swaying softly from side to side as she realized the gravity of the offense she said. Rainbow Dash was many things but being a bully was not one of them. She always vowed to herself to never bully anypony like she once was in flight school. She never cared about being up in someponys face but being mean for no reason at all was beyond her.

"That's OK Miss Dash, I don't feel upset about my blindness." Kenshin said, quite unaware as to how much Rainbow was moping.

"Hey Kenshin. I think I speak for all of us when I say there is no need to use the Miss when talking to us." Rainbow Dash meekly replied as she raised her head, which got a chorus of agreement from the room.

"I also think we can all agree upon to just call me the great and powerful Dashie instead." Rainbow Dash said boastfully to try and salvage her pride as being boastful. She always did do something stupid when she trying to salvage her pride, remembering a certain Maredowell incident. The entire room turned deathly silent as a certain pegasus mare received many murderous glances. "Just kidding about that last part just forget that I said that." Dashie said, while awkwardly chuckling it off.

"Why don't we continue our conversation downstairs instead? Kenshin suggested.

author notes: (I'm Sorry about how slow the story is progressing. I'll try to speed it up some, but I'm just having so much fun writing this. Only wrote this chapter as fast as I did because of the supportive comments I received over the first two chapters. Felt motivated when people told me they enjoyed it and were tracking. I promise you this much there is going to be action and a lot of it. Just trying to set up the tone of the story, considering he is still injured I am just giving him some time to recuperate. Man if I told you some of the action scenes I have planned for him I bet some of you would flip! (In a good way.) I wanna tell you guys so bad, but I won't gonna surprise ya. I decided if my story goes below at 3.2 I am just going to give up. My goal is a 4.0 and currently its at a 3.9 .... Ohhhh cruel fate. Also If you guys don't like romance i can tune down the blushing and giggly shit. I'm not gonna ship Kenshin with a pony, you can relax, probably not unless you guys tell me to..

P.S. I tried a lot harder on this chapter could you tell. Well for my punctuation and stuff still no editor or proof reader.)

Author Note: (Take note that the Japanese are naturally a lot smaller then let's say us Americans. Not that all Japanese are small, but Kenshin just isn't a very tall man. Also in recent studies the average heights of humans has been increasing over many years. Which means the average height of humans has been increasing. Dumbed down it means humans have been getting taller and taller over the decades.)

Kenshin was currently in Twilight's bathroom. The conversation was put on hold until he, "Got that putrid devastatingly reeking order washed from him." Or as Rarity had stated rather bluntly when he had stepped closer to her. Agreeing to this Twilight led Kenshin to her restroom. Kenshin after much reassuring that he did not need help bathing proceeded to usher the girls out of the room.

The golden light penetrated through the window radiating the room in a brilliant hue of colors. The wood's dull brown became a more vibrant shade while the greens, whites and other colors seemingly came to life. Kenshin's elegantly long red hair seemed to play off the light and shine inside this small room. Strong wooden walls surrounded Kenshin, while a porcelain white tub sat in the corner of the room. In the opposite corner sat the toilet made out of the same material as the tub. Wooden shelves with bathing products and towels lined the room. The room was quite small for a human as his head was only a few feet from the ceiling. Disrobing the pink tattered remains of his shirt, he dropped it on the wooden floor silently. Slowly, taking his time he reached out to find the sink. He ran his hand over the smooth surface, the cold surface sent shivers through his hand as he engraved the image of the sink into his mind. Kenshin could feel the walls around him, almost as if he was developing a six sense. He didn't know how to explain the sensation, but when an object entered his personal space he could sense its presence with his mind. He couldn't tell what the objects were, but he could roughly estimate the size of the object.

Turning around he bent over on to one knee and picked up his shirt, running his hand over his clothing he felt the texture as the soft cloth coursed around his fingers. Folding it up he gently placed the his shirt on the lip of the sink. He then proceeded to remove the rest of his clothing until he was nude, folding his pants and placing his folded cloths one on top of the other. Finally, removing his socks last he set them with his Japanese sandals on top of his clothes while leaning his sword against the tub. After removing his bandages he ran his hands over his body inspecting for wounds. The smaller cuts had already closed, while the bruises no longer felt as bad as they had the day before. Luckily, none of his bones were broken like he once feared. Pulling out the stitches of wounds that have already closed he inspected his body more closely. His hands ran across the grizzly cut which ran from his left chest all the way past his collarbone which were stitched up.

Deciding to finally take a bath, he filled up the tub with luke warm water. Gently easing himself in, he steadied himself by placing his hands on the side of the tub. The size of the tub was small, but nothing he couldn't work with. Kenshin was 5'2 and with his weight around 106 pounds. Bending his legs he leaned back and relaxed in the tub making sure no to get his stitches on his chest wet. Confused as to what many of the bottles leaning in front of the tub were. He found he could open the bottle and squeeze out some kind of dense liquid into his hands. On the assumption it was some cleaning product he rubbed it over his body and cleaned his hair thoroughly with many of the products. His body was wracked in ecstasy as the warm water soothed his skin, it was like a personal hot spring in a enclosed room. It was so much better then the frigid cold water he was accustomed to. Leaning back he closed his eyes, then it happened. A large piercing shriek could be heard coming from the other room.

"THIS IS THE... WORST... POSSIBLE... THING!!!!" Came the voice of rarity, followed by terrible wrack of cries coming from outside.

Jumping up and out of the bathtub, Kenshin grabbed his katana and made a mad dash to the door. Fearing for the worst he kicked it open, doing a crouched sprint into the room preparing to quick draw his katana. Forgetting how quick he actually was compared to the size of the house he collided into somepony. Pain erupted from his manhood as it collided with the warm object in front of him. Howling in pain Kenshin quickly grabbed his pride, dropping his sword where is clattered on the ground. His breath came in struggled gasps as he tried to get his bearings.

"Get off of me." Came from a certain mare who was still under Kenshin. The position they were in was quite humorous in a twisted sort of sexual way.

Rarity was laying on her back after being smacked in the face, more specifically on her muzzle with you know what. She had her head turn indigently to the side, which was peculiarly still close to his groin. Kenshin on the other hand was laying on top of her while he howled in pain crunched over on his knees with his head peculiarly close to Rarities crotch. No more detail needs to be said on this scene, no matter how much you beg and whine.

"Ahhahahhhaaa Oh! This is to good to be true!! Aha ahahahaaha!" Could be heard coming from Rainbow Dash as she once again, rolled around in shear mirth laughing.

Pinkie having returned from sending out invitations was also present in the room. For once in her life time she was speechless. Silent as a church mouse Pinkie continued to stare in shock.

Fluttershy fled from the room while whispering a not audible, " Ohh.. My.."

"Well I sure as sugar, didn't expect him to be that well..." Applejack paused for a moment before simply stating, "Equipped."

Twilight Sparkle has always been sheltered most of her life. She has never saw a stallion's or in this case a man's pride before. Utterly shocked, she teleported Kenshin out of the room once she stopped gawking. On the floor Rarity was spastically twitching on the ground as she was trying to invent some new dance move.

After several minutes of eye twitching, and several mental scares that will never go away with time the girls all crowded around Twilight. Fluttershy was still blushing madly, and Rarity muttered something about mouthwash before she disappeared and reappeared a little later. Rainbow Dash was having a hard time suppressing her laughter, but otherwise remained silent for the time being. Pinkie Pie on the other hand has not uttered a single word for the time being.

"Hey Rarity, I bet that wasn't your first time taking balls to the face." Rainbow Dash said turning to face her and bursting out in unrestrained laughter.

"DASH! I am a lady and that is no way to treat me! Why did Kenshin even come running out here in the first place I'll never know." replied an embarrassed and infuriated Rarity.

"Hey Rarity, don't you know she is Twilights man a true lady wouldn't behave like that." Rainbow Dash again cracking wise. AJ decided now was a good time as any to smack Rainbow Dash upside her head, again.

Rainbow Dash turning to face her bellow out in anger. "AJ! You're my marefriend so I won't hit you back. But, I thought I made it clear as to what happens when you hit me."

"It's not that much of a punishment to me if ah enjoy it sugar cube." AJ replied, getting Rainbow Dash to pop a wing boner. Chuckling out loud at her victory, proved to be an excellent idea on her part. I mean, Rainbow is never known to do anything brash.

Maybe, I'll let the girls know what I do and did to get you back." Rainbow Dash stated while she had an evil smirk on her face.

"You wouldn't!" Responded AJ, taking a step back in sheer horror.

"Oh.. Wouldn't I? You know me better then that AJ." Rainbow Dash responded as she started prowling like a cat about to pounce. Taking a step closer, and closer till she was eye to eye with Applejack. Chuckling evilly she stared Applejack in the eyes who started to sweat with her perspiration dripping down her face while she looked nervously side to side.

"You got revenge? What di-" Twilight suddenly paused a blush forming across her face. "Never mind I don't think I want to know."

"It involves a rope and a paddle. The rest use your imagination." Rainbow Dash stated smugly using her tail to whip AJ's flank.

"Sugar cube, What happens in the barn stays in the barn. Don't bring this topic up again in front of our friends." Stated a sufficiently embarrassed Applejack, while she pulled her hat over her face with a hoof.

"Ohhh... AJ you know I'm just teasing you. You look so cute when your embarrassed. I'm also sorry about telling the girls, I kind of got carried away." Rainbow Dash stated while she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment.

"You aren't getting anything this night Rainbow." AJ responded feeling a bit better since she got an apology, but still quite embarrassed that Rainbow would ever say something like that in front of their friends. Since the world the 70% mares the world was full of filly foolers, such relationships were a natural occurrence. Not only that, but the fact that there were many colt cuddlers which led to a shortage of men in the world. Which then led to inter-species dating such as griffins and ponies. A world were love can be reach anywhere. (I'm going somewhere with this just be patient.)

"STOP IT! NOW!" Pinkie suddenly snapped. "I ALREADY GOT TO MUCH TO SCRUB FROM MY MIND!"

"Sorry, Pinkie. Are you alright? You don't look so good." Asked a concerned Rainbow Dash who stepped away from AJ to walk towards Pinkie. Reaching out a hoof she tried to touch pinkie's shoulders only to get it slapped away from her.

"Rainbow Dash don't touch me." Stated Pinkie pie, looking away from her only to start rubbing her temples furiously with her hoofs.

"Sugar cube what's wrong? You can tell us anything were your friends." Applejack stated getting a chorus of agreement from the room.

"I'm sorry Rainbow." Pinkie said before pausing to look at her friends who all had caring and sympathetic looks. "Well, my mind works faster then others which is good I guess, but I can't control what I think and I have a very active imagination."

"I already having a hard time trying to forget what I saw. What has been seen can never be unseen." Pinkie stated looking at the ground and rubbing a hoof in a circle on the ground. Pinkie sat on the ground and continued to draw a circle with her hoof on the ground. Looking up she continued, "When you told me what you and AJ, did I couldn't stop my thoughts and well. I'm not attracted to mares, and I was imagining all sorts of unspeakable things." Rainbow interrupting her before she could continue, "Sorry, Pinkie I should have known better. It won't happen again."

"It's alright, I think I'm going to go to sugar cube corner and take a nap." Pinkie stated still shocked by what she had thought, walking calmly out of the door her bubbly demeanor seemingly vanished.

"I need to go home and take a shower, freshen up, oh I could so goooo" Rarity said, dragging out the go exceedingly long before finishing her sentence, " to the spa."
"By the way Twilight where did you teleport Kenshin? Back in to the bathroom?"
Asked Rarity while she calmly walked to the door.

"Ummm....." Twilight stated before rather hiding behind her hoofs and rather bluntly stating. "Ponyville Town Plaza."

"WHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!" Came a unison of shock from the rest of the group still in the room.

(author notes: there may be a romance between AppleJackxDashie , but those of you worrying that I'm going to ship Kenshin with somepony, fret no longer cause I won't. unless you want me to. If you saw the series all the bitches be wanting Kenshin, similarly to Big Pimp Macintosh and how he is always getting the bitches. There will be no humanxpony relationship in this story don't worry. That interspecies relationships between human's and ponies are wrong except for that one story with kyle and dashie, I like that story. Other then that, not cool. Also don't worry I'm only going to be using nudity for humor purposes nothing other then that. Fear no longer. As to those wondering where spike has gone I'll explain next chapter.)

Celestia's bright sun was glaring down from the heavens. The scent of burnt ash filled Kenshin's nose, covered in soot he slowly rose to his feet. His muscles burnt with exertion after being teleported. The wind whipped his newly cleaned crimson red hair up and at an angle like a flag blowing in the wind. The ash covered much of his chest and body but somehow the grimy substance never got into his hair. Slowly listening in on his surroundings he slowly got his bearings. Luckily for him, Twilight had teleported his reverse blade katana with him. Picking it up, his hearing slowly came back into focus.

"HA! I KNEW IT! HUMANS DO EXIST EVERYONE COME LOOK! A HUMAN! A HUMAN!" Cried out Lyra Heartstrings. A certain turquoise unicorn with a brilliant mane of baby blue with a stripe of white in it. Her sunset orange eyes gazed and looked over Kenshin. Pausing to stop when her eyes trailed down, "Oh, oh my." She stated, before fainting in front of Kenshin.

"The human attacked Lyra and now he is trying to have his way with her, why else would he be naked!" Cried a confused and scared voice in the crowd.

Kenshin's confusion was written all over his face before he simply stated, "Oro?"

"Well he's quite cute, not to mention he is packing. Mmmmm.. Imagine all the fun we could have with him. There isn't to many males around here." Stated a white unicorn with an electric blue mane known as Vinyl Scratch. Her remark became a chorus of agreement from the crowd which continued to circle and expand around him in numbers.

"Oro?" Kenshin replied still feeling quite confused and embarrassed at being naked in public.

The crowd continued to grow and expand in numbers while continuing to eye him over. The crowd consisted of mostly mares with a few stallions here and there, a particular large red stallion knew what was about to happen to Kenshin if he continued to stay there. Deciding it was best to just eye the situation before doing anything Big Macintosh decided to just watch, for now at least.

"Girls! Girls calm down." Mayor Mare simply stated before continuing her speech, "There is enough of him to go around, now help me drag him into the closest house." Diving at Kenshin she grabbed his leg tackling him to the ground. Panicked Kenshin tried to shake her off his leg to no success, as he stood up he was tackled again to the ground by even more mares.

"Isn't this illegal?" Asked Lyra, who had regained consciousness and was trying her best to stand up on four wobbly legs. Falling back down she decided to just watch the situation.

"Well, technically no it isn't. With Celestia's code of laws, reverse rape is actually legal now. Due to the lack of men, that is." Replied Mayor Mare, from under the pile of mares still holding on to Kenshin's legs.

Big Mac, fearing this might happen, has seen this situation unfold before. A group of over excited mares trying to force themselves on an unwilling male, do the math. There was a reason Big Mac usually never sold apples in town. If it wasn't for AJ having to help Twilight out, he would never be back in Ponyville after the scarring mental incident that occurred last time he was in town.

Kenshin was being dragged by his legs backwards into an open house, his front hands were wrapped around him sword. He tried in vain to latch his sword on to the ground only to receive varying success. It slowed his progress down, but he was still being dragged backwards.

"Oro? Someone please help me! Don't let them take me!" Panicked a frightened Kenshin.

"Oh shut up you!" Snarked Vinyl Scratch, "If you didn't want this to happen, why were you in the middle of the plaza showing everypony you're pride?" She said, while crouching lower to the ground she took off her glasses looking at Kenshin in the face.

"It was an accident! I didn't mean to be outside!" Replied Kenshin, while at some point during the conversation had managed to get his sword in its scabbard horizontally wedged on the outside of the door while halting his descent into the mad house. Kenshin's fingers couldn't take the pressure of being pulled, his hands started to sweat perspiration causing his fingers to slowly lose grip on his blade. For every second Kenshin struggled he began to sweat more and more.

"Well sucks to be you. Or will that be us?" Whispered Vinyl Scratch, leaning in close to nibble on Kenshin's ear while she had a snarky grin on her face.

Big Mac deciding enough was enough, charged through the crowd knocking the mares over like bowling pins. "RUN! For your life!" Big Mac, screamed in a panicking voice, before he was dragged into the house with the door closing and locking shut. Kenshin in full panic mode jumped up and over the stunned mares who didn't make it into the house. Relying on pure instinct, Kenshin proceeded to sprint furiously down the road at full speed. He knew that if he was caught, seppuku would not even be close enough to redeem his honor. Looking back, Kenshin hollered out, "Thank you! You are a hero! That you are. I promise to pay you back, friend!"

Even though Big Mac had saved him and virtually sacrificed himself to save the stranger, the mares still refused to let their pray get away. Using his superior hearing, and uncanny reflexes Kenshin was able to avoid the clumsy crossed eyed grey pegasus with the cutie mark of bubbles adorning her flank. Being able to out run even the fastest of earth ponies and unicorns, Kenshin continued to dodge the ever increasingly close tackles of Derpy.

Kenshin continued to sprint down the dirt road while he out distanced Derpy Hooves, who had somehow managed to crash in to a mailbox. Sprinting ahead he passed a small cottage on the edge of the woods. Deciding that some crazy pony might be in the cottage also, he went in to the woods to lay low for awhile. The woods were dark and foreboding as if some evil were to be lurking around the corner. Kenshin's senses heightened at every sound he heard as he trekked through the forest. He sensed eyes watching him through the forest, but when he stood still to listen there was no sounds. The ominous forest trees were gnarled and bent like hands reaching out for him, still he trekked onward. The sun was setting, and the creatures of the night were starting to stir. Howling could be heard on the horizon, the forest seemed to come alive with a promise of death to those foalish enough to stay.

Knowing it was best to avoid danger wherever possible Kenshin decided it was about time to go ask whoever lived at that cottage for some help. He turned around, only to realize he had no idea what direction he came from and where he was. Having relied on his other senses Kenshin realized, that without sight he would have a bad sense of direction. Kenshin was inevitably lost, in a forest with the predators of the night stirring awake to come hunting. He ran through all of the ideas in his head, yelling for help would only draw the attention of whatever creatures hunted here. No, he would not do that. The only option he had was to continue on walking and hope he would exit the forest at some point.

Little did Kenshin know, he was headed for a marsh called Froggy Bottom Bog. The same place, foalish ponies were eaten whole if they were not careful. Less tree's surrounded this area, with deep swamps with endless bottoms. Thick fog, surrounded this area like a early morning mist. Mildew stuck to Kenshin's brow as he started to sweat due to the humidity. Glowing eyes in the darkness continued to stalk the warrior as he walked through the forest. The sun had set and not even the moon could provide enough light to penetrate into the spooky forest. Little did Kenshin know, that a four headed monster was watching Kenshin in the night as he got closer and closer to the lake. The monster known as the Hydra continued to wait until the perfect moment to strike.

The hydra slowly rose out of the mucky water hoping to catch Kenshin unaware as it went in for a quick kill. One of it's the creatures serpents heads rose out of the lake before the others and sent it striking faster then a cobra at Kenshin's back. Having already known the presence of a massive beast behind hind him, Kenshin quickly rolled to the side while taking an assessment of the situation.

Kenshin calmly unsheathed his sword while he turned around to face the massive beast. The hydra had four menacing heads with azure reptilian eyes. Each of the hydra's menacing teeth were larger then steak knifes. This was a beast which proudly roamed the Everfree forest with no natural predator's other then the rare occurrence of a dragon. The dark green scales which provided camouflage in the ugly muck also served as protection. The scales were as hard as stone proving to be an effective shield against other creatures in the Everfree. The creature stood on its two legs while, it walked up closer to Kenshin.

The hydra was used to its prey to run for its life, it has never before seen a small creature like this and was equally confused to why it was not fleeing in terror. The stupid creatures heads looked at each other in confused bafflement. Having no idea why Kenshin did not fear it, the hydra let out a deafening roar in front of Kenshin. The Hydra soaked Kenshin's body in a reeking odor and its vile saliva.

"I apologize if I have invaded in to your territory, I was merely passing through. If you could be so kind as to tell me where Ponyville is, I will leave immediately." Kenshin replied, while the hydra's four heads surrounded him. 'Hmmm.... Well it couldn't hurt to try and reason with this creature before I defend myself. I mean, if there are talking ponies why not talking monsters too?' Kenshin reasoned with himself.

The hydra heads let out a satisfying smirk, not understanding a single word Kenshin had spoke. In its own little world, the hydra had reasoned out that Kenshin had already accepted his own fate and awaited his demise. Satisfied the hydra's four serpent heads which had been circling around Kenshin, attacked in unison to deliver a quick killing blow.

The hydras heads came as fast as a snake strike, sensing the hostile intentions Kenshin leapt high in to the air. All four heads smashed into each other dazing the group of heads momentarily, spitting out the dirt from the ground they looked up.

"Ryu Tsui Sen!" Kenshin screamed. The graceful downwards slash from the air connected with one of the hydra's heads. Doing a back flip off the hydra Kenshin landed twenty yards back. The beast's head crashed into the earth causing a resounding boom to echo throughout the bog. Scorching pain tore through Kenshin's arm with intense fury. Blood poured down Kenshin's chest after reopening his stitches on his body. Kenshin already knew that the pain was temporary, if he stopped fighting now he would die.

One of the four hydra's heads was out like a light. The other three bellowed in unstoppable rage while menacingly closing the distance Kenshin had put between them. The unconscious head was dragged along the ground, while Kenshin slowly backed up analyzing his foe.

Dodging a swing of the hydra's powerful tail Kenshin easily avoided a devastating blow. All it would take is one mistake, to slip up and die in the middle of nowhere. One blow from this beast who's heads were easily the size of an American car. Letting out a powerful blood curling scream the hydra charged at Kenshin. Kenshin easily dodged the feet of the hydra as it tried to squish him, he ran around its body attacking any and all openings he saw. The blade did not cut into its armored body the way he had hoped. Analyzing a knew strategy Kenshin ran around to the tail of the beast, jumping on its back and then proceeding to run up the hydra's side. As Kenshin neared the base of the neck to unleash a powerful attack, he was knocked off his feet by a powerful blow. One of the heads necks had, luckily knocked him off the body of the beast. Turning in the air like a cat, Kenshin landed on his feet from a fall no normal human could have survived.

Buckling over on to his sword, the blood loss was already starting to make Kenshin dizzy, he had to end this before he fainted.

The hydra's three remaining heads circled around Kenshin forming around him in the shape of a triangle. It may have been a dumb beast, but it was not going to let its prey jump into the air again. It would be the last mistake its prey would ever make. Hissing venomously all three of its heads attacked at the same time. Whistling threw the air planning to devour this fool who had hurt it so.

Allowing the beast to encircle him, Kenshin put the reserves of his energy into one final attack. Kenshin calmed his breathing and waited for the hydra to make his move.

"Ryu Kan Sen!" Kenshin had shouted, as he spun in 180 degrees with a turning slash. Somehow, striking all of the heads at once and simultaneously knocking all the heads back in a powerful blow. This was the work of a master of Hiten Mitsurugi style, a beast as massive as a hydra to be beaten by a human with a sword. He was no Hercules, but he was a god in his own right. A god of the sword.

Planting his sword in the ground Kenshin heavily leaned on it to keep himself upright. Catching his breath he sheathed his blade and hobbled in the opposite direction of where the beast now lay unconscious. Turning around he was face to face with one clearly pissed off hydra head to stubborn to stay unconscious.

A new burst of adrenaline flowed through Kenshin giving him a second wind and numbing out the pain. Unsheathing his sword he felt the blood drip from his chest down his arm while he waited for the hydra head to come to him. With the last head coming to strike at him Kenshin put his all into his ultimate technique.

"Ku-zu-ryu-sen!" Kenshin yelled, his technique involved attacking all nine target points on his opponent's body in quick succession. For a hydra's face the result was quite devastating. The creatures eye's rolled into the back of it's head and it passed out crashing into the ground a few feet in front of Kenshin. Not before, comically spitting out a few of its teeth, and guttering something resembling, "Mommy."

Time seemed to have no meaning in the Everfree forest. It could have been day's or even a measly ten minutes from the fight with the hydra. Kenshin still continued to struggle through the forest using his katana as a crutch. Kenshin's breathing grew ragged as he struggled across a dirt path one step at a time. Unknown to him another set of eyes were watching through the thicket of forest.

A beast leapt in front of Kenshin on his path roaring in pure rage at the human. 'Of all the times to be attacked again. I have no luck today. That I do not.' Kenshin thought to himself as he once again prepared for another attack.

The beast had a tail of a scorpion with wings of a bat. It's body resembled a lion with many sharp teeth that could easily shred the meat off a body.

The manticore stepped closer to Kenshin breaking a twig in half with it's impressive weight. Already having formed a plan in his head, Kenshin waited for the beast to get closer before he would act. As the manticore licked its lips and stepped closer, Kenshin stared into the manticores eyes. Kenshin used the Shin-no-ippou technique, a technique once used by the serial murderer Jinei Udoh. This eye technique is the battle of wills which will only affect someone who's swordsman spirit is not on the same level as the user. In other words, he used The Stare.

"Leave beast. I have not the patience to deal with you." Kenshin firmly stated putting an edge of authority in his voice. His eyes still seeing nothing, but still he forced his will through them channeling his will in to his would be predators eyes. Crushing the manitcore's very will to fight. Releasing the technique Kenshin slumped down putting his back against the tree. The manticore flew into the sky yelping like a scared kitten, thankful to still have its life spared.

Darkness overpowered Kenshin's mind until he let his slumber take him.
A lone zebra was walking to her hut this night, which happened to coincidentally cross paths with the injured warrior. Throwing him over her flank she carried him back to her hut.

(Sorry about the long wait to anyone who is tracking. I kind of had to reassess where I was going with this story. I mean just think of the last chapter with Rarity getting balls to the face and AJxDash being bondage freaks. Yeah, needed to get back on track and get some more Kenshin in the story. So guess what, yeah he just fought a hydra blind relying on pure instinct from experience, and yeah he just used the stare. you mad? Anyway, I promise the next chapter will be out a lot sooner. Please comment on this chapter, it makes me happy.)

Author Notes: (The human and pony love needs to stop. Ponies are not sexy, they are cute in the same way a kitten is. Stop clopping to ponies. No, seriously stop it. There is a reason why we can't have good things. Don't worry, you guys know exactly what I'm talking about.)

Kenshin was wearing his traditional outfit, standing on a grassy plain at the edge of a cliff. Kenshin had his sight, as he looked into the sea which stood thousands of feet below. Looking across the vast ocean which stretched across the world, Kenshin heard the melody of life. The chorus of the gentle breeze rolling across the grass, the crescendo of sound resonating from the tide of the ocean played in harmony across his mind. The sparkling ocean, looking similar to sparkling diamonds at this insane height, seemed to be calling Kenshin to come closer. This world was a world of peace, a utopia of harmony.

Sadly Kenshin's peaceful tranquility of his dream did not last forever. Thundering black skies whipped across this vast world, encircling Kenshin closing in on him from all directions. The wind whipped Kenshin's hair across his face, the grass was uprooted from its soil blowing wildly into the wind. The life of the grass plains died. The brilliant hues of colors ranging from greens to blues ceased to exist, being replaced by different shadings of grey. Tsunami's hundreds of feet high crashed into the plain, shaking it to the core. The crystal diamond blue sea was replaced by a dark black muck with a crimson colored tint. The air was stagnant with no hint of life, red mist foamed from the ground spitting out the smell of blood.

Calmly Kenshin walked to the very edge of the cliff, peering over the edge Kenshin inhaled deeply. 'Well, this is obviously not real. How do I wake myself up?' Kenshin thought to himself. As he continued to ponder, his ears perked up at the sounded of earth being ripped behind him. Kenshin, turning around looked upon the grisly scene. The dead were clawing there way out of the ground, flesh fell to clumps around them which continued to beat similar to that of a heart. These creatures missing arms, half of their faces continued to grow in number. Dozens of humanoid creatures rose from the dirt, dozens turned in to two dozen which quickly turned into hundreds.

"Join us man slayer." The front monster croaked, reaching out it's right hand for Kenshin. The creatures hand was missing it's index and ring finger not to mention most of its flesh.

Kenshin looked in to the creatures crimson blood eyes, its vile stench forced it's way into his nostrils. Reeking of death and blood, it continued to reach out for Kenshin's face calling his title over and over again. Kenshin quickly scanned his eyes, left and right, he recognized these creatures. Or on other terms former humans, all of these monsters were humans personally killed by none other then the legendary battosai Kenshin himself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I am so sorry." Kenshin continued to repeat as his hand hovered over his katana.

Spreading out his legs in to his quick draw stance, Kenshin quickly drew his katana and removed the creatures head in a single sweep. Blood shot from the decapitated neck covering Kenshin's face with its crimson color. The head fell to the ground and rolled towards his foot, Kenshin stood on the skull as if it were a soccer ball. Kicking the skull away it landed upright and faced Kenshin locking eye contact with the warrior. "Man slayer, join us!" The skull cackled at Kenshin. Conflicted emotions tore at Kenshin's heart. With the rage and guilt building up and eating him from the inside out, the storm grew with intensity.

Kenshin tore threw the undead hordes like a hurricane. He ducked, parried and dodged all incoming blows. Every swing of his sword took down a minimum of four creatures, only to have more then double replace it. Kenshin's eyes tore a sunset amber yellow, replacing his normal azure colored eyes. Rage replaced the Kindness, his mercy was gone as he continued to fight.

The endless wave of zombies, having the advantage in numbers managed to push Kenshin up to the edge of the cliff. "THIS IS NOTHING, BUT A DREAM! GET OUT OF MY MIND MONSTERS!"

The endless wave of zombies hands reached out for Kenshin. The monsters continued to call out to him beckoning him to join them. There cackling laughter never stopped, which served to only anger Kenshin even more. His blood soaked clothes stuck to him his hair was matted to his face with sweat and gore. Kenshin taking a deep breathe, let himself fall backwards over the cliff. Spread eagle, Kenshin fell backwards staring up in to the sky. His hair wildly ripped around him as he continued his free fall towards the ocean. Time slowed down around Kenshin as he closed his eyes and braced for impact. Seconds turned into minutes, opening his eyes Kenshin was shocked.

A bright ray which pierced and calmed down the rampaging world, spread and encircled him. Looking down he realized he was falling, but no longer falling downwards. He was falling towards the sky, Kenshin was pulled into the bright light. The world around him was still hell bent on getting Kenshin. Hundreds of zombies jumped off the sides of the cliff to try to get at Kenshin. Tearing at the sky they plummeted into the sea transforming and twisting it, forming a colossal stack of bodies which twisted and turned, rising higher and higher in to the sky to reach the warrior.

Kenshin's heart rate increased at the sudden tsunami of the dead rising up and out of the sea. Twisting and churning building up momentum as it rose faster and faster. A gnarled hand at the top of the wave reached out for Kenshin. Before the hand could grab Kenshin's face, an invisible forced tethered to Kenshin yanked him back trough the skies and into the light. The dead collapsed back into the sea swarming together to make a large collective mouth. "Join us Man Slayer." Was the last thing Kenshin heard before he woke up.

Opening his eyes, Kenshin looked around at the scenery. Large hills and craters filled the surrounding area. The scene was grey, but no longer the way in the black and white film sense. This grey was the natural coloring of the area, he seemed to be standing on a giant rock. Looking in the sky, he saw a giant globe. It seemed so close, yet distant at the same time. There was no sound only blissful silence. Kenshin was in space on the moon, staring up at the planet he was on. The magnificent beauty of it all, the spectacular colorings and shadings. It was art, no maybe this was something greater. A beauty so grand, art would only be a word unable to do it justice.

"Human, I welcome thee to the moon." Stated a feminine voice from behind Kenshin. Kenshin sensing no malice, turned around calmly. Looking the pony over he noticed that this particular pony had both a unicorn horn and pegasus wings. The alicorn was dyed a dark maroon color, while a black blotch with a crescent moon adorned her flank.

"Oro?" Stated Kenshin, staring in to the abyssal depths that were Luna's eyes.

"You probably wondering where you are and whom I am." Replied Luna, while her hair was seemingly weightless in air. Standing to her full height Luna towered over Kenshin. Luna stood maybe a couple heads taller then the human.

Looking down on him she continued to speak. "I am the Princ-"

"You're Princess Luna, sister of Celestia." Kenshin interrupted.

Showing proper respect and giving a slight one armed bow Kenshin continued. "Hello, I've heard so much about you. I have a question? Why me? Why am I here, Why was I sent here to Equestria? I'm just a simple wanderer. That I am."

Confusion, joy, happiness, sadness, and a brief moment of anger flashed into his mind. 'Was she the one who sent me to this world? What purpose am I here, for one such as I? What manner of creature would take me from my home! Although, I never would have imagined a peaceful world such as this could exist.' Kenshin thought to himself.

Luna putting on her elder sisters trade mark smile walked up to Kenshin. Reaching up a hoof she gently placed it on Kenshin's chest. "Calm down young one." She stated in a motherly tone.

"Yes, I brought you here in this world." She stated with a poker face, that would put Phil Ivey to shame. (Phil Ivey is a famous poker player.)

Continuing, she lowered her hoof to the ground and looked Kenshin in the eyes. Before Kenshin could interrupt again however she continued speaking. " I did not send you in to the rift between worlds though, that was not my doing. I only found you drifting through space barley clinging to life, I teleported you to Equestria so you would not suffocate. It was no coincidence you ended up with Twilight Sparkle and her friends."

Kenshin having learned in his life to question the way things stand put on a 'Really, I'm not dumb' face. Sadly, he almost never uses this face because he so chooses to act ignorant and weak.

"Allow me to explain, and I think it best if we were to sit down while I talk. Don't you agree?" The tall alicorn stated.

Two chairs, both adorned lavishly with jewels and gem stones popped into existence. The chairs were identical with the full moon emblazoned on a portion of the chair. The gravel broke into dust and floated off into the atmosphere once the chairs were set down. Kenshin sat down taking a seat sat across from the princess.

"Now where to begin? Ah, I know. *Ahem , Ahem*" Luna paused to clear her throat before starting. "Alright, I know to a mortal this may sound crazy, but here me out. All universes are connected somehow, someway and alternate worlds and parallel universes are linked." Luna paused.

Kenshin looked up and saw a teapot materialize out of existence. Hovering at head level with Luna, she calmly poured the tea into a cup. Tilting her neck slightly, she elegantly sipped up her tea.

'Wow. That was adorable, why does she make me want to hug her.' Kenshin thought to himself while he expressed no emotion on his face.

"Tehehe..." Luna's girly outburst of laughing caught Kenshin completely unaware. The confusion was clearly on his mind before the princess spoke up again. "Thanks for thinking I'm adorable Kenshin, I'll give you a hug once I finish talking though."

"Oro?" Kenshin replied, quite shocked that the princess had read his mind.

"Oh, yeah Kenshin. Do not fret only me and Tia can read minds." Luna stated, smiling at Kenshin. Her wings opening and closing fast, almost as if she were embarrassed.

"Anyway, imagine only a single world. Now imagine every single grain of sand whether it is on the beach, the bottom of an ocean, or in a desert. There are more stars then every single grain of sand on your home world. Now imagine a multitude of planets that exist for all of those stars. Needless to say, humans are not alone in the galaxy." Luna stated before drinking, yet another cup of tea.

"Now, for the even more complicated part. For every action there could be an alternative action taken. These other actions that were not taken, but could've been, create parallel realities. As time goes on, more and more parallel worlds are created. These parallel realities in turn give off an abundance of energy to the home reality in which they were created. This causes both realities universes to expand at phenomenal rate. Creating more and more stars and worlds, which in turn create there own parallel worlds. This causes the universe to expand even faster then your imagination could conceive."

"What does parallel universes and these other realities have to do with me?" Kenshin asked quite confused, laying his head back against the upright thrown looking at the massive amounts of stars in the sky.

"I'm getting to that, now hush up a moment and let your sexy princess talk." Luna replied putting on the most epic of troll faces, that would even put Celestia to shame.

"Wait what was that?" Kenshin replied, very uncomfortable being so close to the princess now. Sure she was female, but normal humans aren't sexually attracted to miniature horses. Sure Kenshin isn't exactly normal, but he isn't a horse fucker.

"Nothing, anyway." The princess started again. "Every world and every reality has its own fiction and stories. With the colossal amounts of energy being thrown in to play, a thinking mind can subconsciously control and change the direction in which the energy randomly flows. Now, when many minds work together to direct the energy it can create an alternate world. To dumb down what I said, it means all stories have the potential to create there own reality."

"So, Equestria is some form of popular story from another reality then? Is Equestria even real then?" Kenshin replied, with a shock stricken face. Being seriously intrigued Kenshin leaned forward placing the palms of his hands on his knees and leaned forward.

"Yes, Equestria could be some form of popular story. Though, I sincerely doubt that. To answer your other question, yes Equestria is real." Luna replied a gleaming smile on her face. It wasn't every day someone other then Twilight Sparkle would be interested in knowledge. Most pony's only cared to learn everything about there special talent. Maybe his interest had to do something with him being human?

"Anyway" Luna began again. " It is possible that your world could be a story of anothers world."

A loud scoffing sound could be heard from Kenshin. He tried to imagine how anyone could make a good story about the horrors of the revolution. Why would anyone be interested in that? "Sorry about that Princess." Kenshin stated allowing Luna to continue.

"Yes, well I'm sorry Kenshin. I would love to explain more though it seems it is almost time for you to wake up." Luna stood up on all fours towering over the sitting warrior. Walking up to Kenshin she never broke eye contact. She paused a little less then a foot length in front of Kenshin. Kenshin never feeling any hint of malicious proceeded to just stare at the godly alicorn. Luna, embraced Kenshin picking him off the grounds like a small child and crushed him in a bear hug. Snuggling her muzzle on the top of his head, she nuzzled Kenshin's hair playfully messing it up. As she held Kenshin in a hug her horn started to glow with magic.

"My gift to you Kenshin. I return to you your sight."

(If you want me to continue this story, please leave a comment below. I'm seriously thinking about quitting this story. I've had this chapter for about a week. I wasn't happy with it so I kept changing it. I'm a busy college student, and I literally thrive off of your comments. Is this even a good read? Personally I think this story is complete shit, but hey that's just my opinion. Do I need to add a dark tag for him killing zombies?)

P.S. Took a vacation from this for awhile, but my ideal goal is one chapter per week. Also, my goal on the next chapter is 3k words. I'll work up from there.

P.P.S. My days have been fucking crazy. Here are a few events in my life.

1. Drink ever clear, and run across a highway and almost get hit by a car. WTF?!

2. Cops caught me with weed, and I don't get arrested. WTF!

3. Ended up going to a gay bar, GET FREE DRINKS FROM GUYS! they don't gotta know im straight, i want free drinks yo.

(sneak peak at next chapter)

"Rainbow Dash! Applejack! You two are never allowed to enter the dungeons AGAIN! As punishment you two are going to pay for that poor guards therapy."

"Yes, Princess. It won't happen again." Replied the duo in unison.

"I sincerely hope not, since you two are already banned from the pool , being in the same room alone , and various other places in the palace."

^---- Subject to change.

Hey guys. If you're reading this you probably like this story, for that I thank you. Unfortunately, I'm going to take a break from this story to write another story that I've been dying to write. It's going to be me in Equestria. Yes, i know what your thinking its an overdone topic. But, just wait till I tell you what it is going to be about. It involves me, my truck, my bong, a suitcase full of drugs (uppers, downers, laughers, screamers, jumpers.) And wait for it. A BOOMBOX. It is going to be a halirous story, trust me i'm a doctor.

It's going to involve me being princess Luna's pet, smoking weed with Celestia. Getting beaten up by a royal guard, getting revenge. Hating on a marshmallow named Rarity, me being a tree huger. Trust me the ideas running through my mind right now are genius. There will be no romance with a pony, that shit disgusts me. O yeah im going to be tripping on drugs throughout most of the story. Also, I do not suggest you guys go out and do drugs. Other then weed cause its a harmless plant.

Not planning on quitting this story, I will finish this. I'm just going to switch what i'm writing. Give me time to get creative juices going for this story, ya know.
