How to raise a Russian Girlfriend!

If someone were to look very closely, one might notice an ongoing battle in the heart of Kyoto.

People would probably never expect that such a large-scale battle is occurring in their home and remains unnoticed by them.

Thanks to Kenshin's barrier magic, the fight remained inside, and with Kenshin's expertise, he managed to maintain control over their fight, making sure the Nekomatas weren't going anywhere aside from the inside of the barrier.

On the other hand, Yasaka's fight with the remaining six Nekomatas wasn't going that well.

Although their numbers were reduced and their advantage became obsolete, their years of training have made them adapt, what used to be an equal battle against Yasaka turned into an ease.

'Gotta help her somehow.' Kenshin muttered to himself and allowed himself to release more of his controlled strength.

Boom!

One swift but unexpected punch took down a Nekomata.

"What? You think just because I'm using a Katana, I'll stop using my fists?" Seeing their stunned expressions, Kenshin sneered at them.

Do they really think he'll play by the rules? All is fair in battle, there's no such thing as dishonorable when your life is at stake.

One Nekomata jumped and flew towards their fallen comrade, intending to help him.

This, however, led the remaining Nekomata to fight by themselves.

Which Kenshin graciously accepted.

His figure disappeared from his place and he reappeared in front of the remaining Nekomata, whose claws glowed in Ki.

Slash!

Slash!

Slashing the air in front of him, six small arcs of energy flew towards Kenshin.

'Didn't know Ki could be used like that.' Kenshin commented to himself.

A simple wave of his Katana and the Ki slashes were either deflected or destroyed.

With that dealt with, Kenshin continued his chase forward, intending to swiftly finish the Nekomata in front of him.

"Have a taste of your own medicine!" Kenshin grinned and held the handle of his Katana with both of his hands before swinging it in the air in front of him.

Fwooosh!

A similar but far larger and faster energy slash flew forward.

Puchi!

Unable to dodge, the Nekomata found his entire shoulder down to his waist, sliced cleanly.

At the same time, the two remaining Nekomatas finally recovered but it was already too late, their comrade had already perished.

Taking advantage of it, Kenshin pushed himself forward—intending to finish the two as quickly as possible.

However, both of them gathered their bearings and fought against Kenshin, exchanging a flurry of attacks with each other.

Finding himself flanked on his left and right sides, Kenshin had no choice but to finally use magic again.

Just as one of the Nekomata was about to strike his head clean, Kenshin disappeared from his place and his fellow Nekomata was replaced instead.

Kenshin exchanged his position with the other Nekomata!

Seeing this, both the Nekomatas' expressions turned into shock as their eyes met each other.

It was already too late for the attacking Nekomata to stop his attack and the same can be said on the side as the unexpected spell made it impossible for him to dodge.

Slash!

The sharp claws that they took pride in, became the very same thing that took the life of their companion.

Thud!

Watching as his head lifelessly fell on the floor, thr Nekomata's breath hitched.

He took the life of his friend, comrade, and companion.

How? Why?

Questions ran rampant in his mind, which unfortunately, became his last thoughts before death as Kenshin's Katana found itself piercing through his brain.

Puchi!

'Four Nekomatas down.' Kenshin grinned inside the mask.

He's growing stronger, he can feel it. Throughout the entire battle, he didn't sustain any injuries and even if he did, it's just a simple gash.

Remembering that Yasaka needs help, Kenshin quickly tightened his grip on his trusted Katana and immediately rushed towards her position.

As he noticed earlier, Yasaka was indeed in a pitch.

During the first few minutes of their fight, she held the advantage, swiftly taking down two of the Nekomata assassins.

However, the feline Yokais adapted against her, using various strategies to fight her, taking advantage of her huge body which results in her being a large target.

They started to take distance and took advantage by attacking her through long-range attacks.

Similar to what the Nekomata used on Kenshin earlier, various arcs of Ki energy slashes flew towards Yasaka's Nine-Tailed fox form.

"ROAAAR!" Yasaka growled, although her large amounts of Ki made her regenerate her injuries but the pain could not only be overbearing but also healing her injuries consumed her Ki.

"Die! All of you!" Opening her gaping mouth, her spiritual power surged over her mouth and a torrent of purple flames crushed heavily towards the assassins.

"Everyone, dodge!" The Nekomatas, reduced to four in number—immediately stepped back to dodge. Their confidence soared after seeing the same attack again.

Yasaka has already repeated the same attack three times earlier and although they were surprised and lost two of their companion the first time but now, they've adapted and can react fast enough.

That is until two unfortunate ones suddenly glowed in blue energy and found themselves stuck in their place.

Even though they fought back and successfully escaped the sudden lock, a single second of interruption was enough for the purple flames to arrive and successfully drown them.

Fwooosh!

"GAARRGghhh…" Their screams resonated across the area but it soon turned silent.

Done with her attack, the flames slowly stopped and only two charred remains replaced the two Nekomatas from earlier.

"Too bad the other two reacted too fast." Kenshin stepped forward, exposing himself to the remaining Nekomata.

"What!?" Their eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise.

What is Kenshin doing here? Isn't he supposed to be occupied by three of their comrades?

However, a single look at their behind and the sight of three corpses was enough for them to piece everything together.

'He's stronger than we thought!' The two concluded in their minds in unison.

They underestimated a human or perhaps not a human after all!

"Thank you." Yasaka glanced at Kenshin's disguised figure and muttered a word of gratitude.

In response, Kenshin just gave her a thumbs-up.

It didn't take long before the remaining two Nekomatas met the same fate as the others. If Kenshin and Yasaka all by themselves could take down two or more of their kind, what else can one expect if they work together against the Nekomatas with the same number?

"Come with me. And explain everything on the way." Seeing the troubled expression on her face, Kenshin didn't ask any questions and simply grabbed her hand after turning back to her original form before taking off to the skies.

"What's with the disguise?" After masking their presence and getting on the train en route to Tokyo, Shinjuku. Yasaka finally asked.

"Tracking people through facial recognition is easy. Don't want to take risks." Kenshin answered with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I see…" By the time they got on, unfortunately, the train was already full and they were forced to stand.

Knowing the tendency of some men on trains to be perverts, Kenshin pressed Yasaka against the train doors and used his body to cover for her.

Yasaka, of course, is oblivious to this and her mind immediately starts to question his action.

'Is he purposely trying to make me sniff his scent? He kinda smells good. And his chest…'

While Kenshin was busy looking out of the window and spreading his senses around them to make sure they weren't being followed, Yasaka was tracing his body from top to bottom, almost as if she was trying to strip him with her stare.

By the time Kenshin noticed her stare, she was already leaning forward, pressing her bouncy bosom into his chest.

"What are you doing?" Kenshin curiously whispered.

"What do you mean? Weren't you trying to seduce me by sticking too close to my body?" Yasaka gave him a sly smile while explaining.

Kenshin monotonously stared at her eyes before sighing in realization.

"That's not why I'm doing this." Kenshin shook his head before proceeding to explain the reason to her.

By the time he was done, Yasaka had already turned around, facing the closed train doors—hiding her flustered face.

Kenshin chuckled at this and said no more.

Unfortunately, their travel only took 2 hours before they came to their stop.

"This is our stop, come on." Kenshin grabbed her hand and guided her out of the train station.

Yasaka, of course, didn't bother to complain and simply allowed him to do what he wanted.

If Kenshin were to hear her thoughts, he might be tempted to test the limits of those bold words.

***

"Okay, here's the thing, you'll temporarily stay in my home, and I'll just introduce you to my parents as a close friend. Just remember, don't mention anything about magic and supernatural stuff—they're normal people and I don't want to expose them to it." Before getting home, Kenshin laid out some ground rules.

"Okay! Okay!" Yasaka nodded her head eagerly, excited to visit his house.

"Don't expect too much okay? I'm not the son of a Queen or King like you." Kenshin chuckled after sensing her eagerness.

"Umu! Umu!" Yasaka nodded her head vigorously like a chicken pecking its head.

Kenshin discussed several more unofficial rules with her, which are of course aren't that overbearing such as no using of magic in the household, act like a normal human and last but not the least, she'll introduce herself as Yasaka—a distant friend that he met during his stay in Kyoto, which fits the story just fine as a few years ago, the original Kenshin's field trip was situated in Kyoto.

When Yasaka suggested simply planting information about her directly in her family's minds, Kenshin vehemently refused. Not only because they're his family but he's also quite against using mind magic on innocent people.

With all the necessary lies and background information settled down, they finally arrived at Kenshin's humble abode.

Knock!

Knock!

Knocking on the door, it took a few seconds before it was opened by none other than the little Imouto. And by the look on her face, one can tell she was stunned.

'A-A blonde and beautiful woman!' was what Tomoko was screaming in her mind.

Tracing her eyes down slowly, her nose splurted blood as the size of Yasaka's assets was the biggest she had ever seen!

"O-Oppai!" The words unconsciously leaked out of her mouth, causing Kenshin to slap his forehead and Yasaka to laugh.

"Fufufu…Is this your little sister, Kenshin-san? She's quite a cutie, isn't she?"

"Huh?" Kenshin's head snapped at her and then back to Tomoko.

Her ragged face and reddened eyes were filled with eyebags, along with her below-average malnourished body. Sure she looks better than before but nevertheless—she doesn't look good.

Nothing in her appearance looks cute!

"A-Are you sure about that, Yasaka-san?" Ignoring the twitching of Tomoko's mouth, Kenshin asked the question.

"I'm definitely sure!" Yasaka bobbed her head and raised a thumb.

"Okay then…" Weirded out by her choice of beauty in terms of children of Tomoko's age, Kenshin was about to introduce her to Tomoko when she beat him to it.

"Mama! Onii-chan brought a girl home! And she's very beautiful and kind!" After she finished her words, she gave Yasaka a wink.

"Wha-…" It was Kenshin who was surprised by how she described Yasaka. Normally in such cases, little sisters tend to get overprotective of their brothers and try to slander them as much as they can.

In this case, how come Tomoko praised Yasaka instead?

Turning her head to her for answers, all he received was a mysterious smile.

"Fine, keep your secrets then." Kenshin shrugged his shoulders and said before entering, followed by her.

Hopefully, her presence would be welcomed by her family. However, considering Yasaka managed to subdue Tomoko, the most problematic of all, perhaps there's nothing for him to worry about.

Right?
