Chapter 6 – Meeting Royalty

As the rays of Celestia’s sun began to show in the dark sky as morning slowly came to the sky. Everypony was sleeping soundly on the train, everypony except for Fluttershy who stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom of the room that they were all sharing. Fluttershy hardly slept with how her wings kept throbbing as they stood at attention throughout the whole night.

“Oh, they’ve been aching all night long… What do I do?” Fluttershy thought to herself as her mind began to fill with steamy thoughts of Kenshin, causing her wings to ache even more at her arousal.

“Oh my. Fluttershy, you shouldn’t be thinking naughty things about Kenshin.” She scolded herself as her face burned with embarrassment.

“But how am I supposed to make my wings relax?” She thought as her wings twitched and throbbed repeatedly. She couldn’t take it anymore as she reached for the waist band of her pajama bottoms and slid them off and tossed the pink pajama bottoms that had pictures of teddy bears all over them to the side. With shaky hands she slid off her now soaked panties as well. She made sure that the door was locked as she closed the toilet lid and sat down. She closed her eyes as her hand wandered down to her delicate flower petals as her thoughts drifted to the samurai.

One hour later

*Train to Canterlot – Dawn: POV - Kenshin*

Kenshin felt the rays of morning sunlight as he slowly opened his eyes. He slowly sat up and popped his back; his whole body was sore and in immense pain from the fight with Jin-E and the shadow warriors from yesterday. He tried to get up from the bed but he found himself weighed down. As he looked around he found that he was surrounded by all of the girls. They were all lying down around him on the same bed with him. Pinkie was asleep with her arms wrapped tightly around the samurai with a huge smile on her face.

“…Oro.”

Kenshin said as he looked at the girls in confusion as they lay next to him, huddled against his body. Kenshin managed to slide out of Pinkie’s grip without waking her. As he stood up and limped over to the sink that was in the room to get a glass of water, due to his injuries from the battle he was limping but this was something he grew use to. He saw something that brought a warm smile to his face. He saw Spike fast asleep with a teddy bear along with the Cutie Mark Crusaders huddled around him. They must have been scared, they all must have been scared to the point that they couldn’t even sleep in their own beds. He felt bad that they were all terrified of what happened when Jin-E attacked. He couldn’t help but feel responsible for what happened.

He turned the faucet on and filled his glass with water and brought it to his lips and began to drink it. As he drunk the glass of water, he couldn’t help but feel that there was something different. Something felt off but he couldn’t place his finger on it. As he set the empty cup down he noticed that his kimono was awfully loose, it felt as if it were three sizes too big. For that matter everything seemed bigger.

He was quickly brought out of his thoughts as he heard the sound of what he could only describe as the cutest neighs he had ever heard. The soft neighing continued and was coming from the bathroom. The samurai gently knocked on the bathroom door.

“Eep!” He heard come from the bathroom. He immediately recognized the voice as Fluttershy’s.

“Fluttershy? Are you ok?” He asked with concern, he noticed that his voice sounded higher pitched but still somewhat masculine.

“Y-Yes…I-I’m f-fine.” The mare said in a tone that was barely audible.

“Are you sure? This one could have sworn he heard neighing.” The man said while scratching the back of his head in thought.

“Y-Y-Yes.” She whimpered softly.

“Ok, if you’re sure.” He said as he limped by the sink. As he did he turned and looked into the mirror. What he saw caused him to stop dead in his tracks. Kenshin stood there and stared at the mirror for fifteen minutes straight with a look of pure shock on his face, then out of nowhere

*THUD*

He passed out on the ground moaning one word.

“Oro.”

*Canterlot Castle*

Canterlot Castle was abuzz with scientists, biologists, cryptozoologists, researchers, high ranking members of the Equestrian guard, and unfortunately the nobility of Canterlot. Shining Armor was going to meet the girls and the samurai at the train station when they arrived. He was very interested in meeting the samurai, but he was more worried about Twilight’s and the girl’s safety. That’s why he was bringing a large group of guards to help protect them and Kenshin. He always worried about his little Twily’s safety, but now he was a nervous wreck.

He saw the whole fight on TV; he saw how that psychotic bastard Jin-E looked at his baby sister and the others. How he literally gutted the royal guards that tried to stop him like they were nothing and laughed about it the whole time, even as he fought. Shining Armor wanted to throttle Jin-E. But he was thankful that Kenshin saved their lives, he would have to thank him personally. He was barely able to see the human’s face due to the smoke from the battle that took place when the camera crew was filming. He was only able to make out that the stallion was a red head with a cross shaped scar on his left cheek, most of his face was covered in blood from his injuries.

Shining Armor was extremely interested by the fact that Kenshin was both a Samurai and a Human. He was even more interested in the fighting style that the he used, if the guards had the same type of training as him then they would never have to worry about an invasion or guys like Udo Jin-E again. The guard captain grimaced as he remembered the changeling invasion as he made his way to the train station with a group of guards in tow. As they all walked through the city of Canterlot one of the guards noticed the guard Captain’s distress.

“You okay their Captain?” The mare asked.

“Huh? Oh yeah, I’m fine. Just a lot on my mind.” He replied.

“Yeah, things have been hectic at the castle ever since word got out that a samurai appeared. Let alone a human.” The guard’s mare answered with a sympathetic smile.

“Yeah, I heard that when the nobility saw the battle at Ponyville on TV they all started trying to arrange marriages with their daughters so they could try to convince him to work for them and to breed him.” The mare said with a chuckle.

“I remember that, they all began fighting again. They were all screaming at each other as they beat the crap out of one another. It was hilarious, especially when Princess Luna pulled out a switch blade which caused all the nobles to go silent.” The guards began to laugh, Shining Armor included.

“Aunty Luna sure does get carried away when the nobility causes problems for everypony.” A cheerful yet very familiar voice said which caused Shining Armor to smile when he saw the owner of the voice.

“Cadence!” Shining Armor smiled widely as his wife landed in front of him.

“Hey there sweetie. I thought I’d come with you to greet the girls and their new friend.” Cadence said with a happy smile.

“Well, I’m sure Twilight will be more than happy to see you Candy.” He said as he gave his wife a quick peck on the lips causing her to smile.

“Well, what are we waiting for my knight in shining armor?” She said with a laugh as she wrapped her arms around the stallion’s right arm.

“Oh HA HA, very funny.” He said with mock annoyance at the bad pun.

“You know you love me.” She said with a loving smile as they all made their way to the train station.

______________________________________________________________________________

*The Train*

“Shhhh! I think he’s waking up.” Kenshin heard someone say as he slowly regained consciousness. He felt something soft, very soft pressed against his face. As he slowly opened his eyes his face began to burn bright red at what he saw. He was sandwiched between two sets of double D breasts that belonged to both Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. He immediately jumped back in a panic and pressed himself against a wall.

“Awww, its ok little guy. We’re not going to hurt you cutie pie.” Fluttershy said in a calm soothing tone as she slowly approached the young Kenshin.

“I…I…I.” The human stuttered out only to be scooped up by Fluttershy and pulled into a loving hug, squashing his face against her full and voluptuous yellow breasts.

“Awww! He’s so cute!” Fluttershy squealed as she rained kisses all over the red head’s face.

“Quit hogging him! I want to hold the baby human!” Pinkie said as she snatched him away and pulled him into a gigantic, pressing the boy’s face into the mare’s giant pink breasts which deprived him of oxygen.

Kenshin was still in a state of shock, he couldn’t believe what was happening. When he looked into that mirror right before he passed out, he saw that he was a fourteen year old boy again.

“I can’t believe it! A young human colt! This is amazing!” Twilight said as she continued.

“And he’s…he’s…HE’S SO CUTE!!!” The lavender unicorn said right before she joined in and hugged the young boy who was now being hugged by all six mares, as they all smiled at him he could have sworn he heard a ‘squee’ sound.

“Oro.” Was all he could say at the moment

“Aww, ain’t that sweet, the little guy is shy.” Applejack said with a gentle smile as she squashed his face into her chest, causing him to blush.

“Hey I wanna turn!” Rainbow Dash said as she snatched him away from the apple farmer.

“You sure are cute squirt; in fact you look a lot like… Kenshin.” The rainbow maned mare said as she looked at the boy’s face as he was now gasping for air since she pulled him away from the girls, allowing him a chance to breathe.

“Hey girls, didn’t Kenshin say he had a son? This colt looks just like him…even has the same scar too.” Dash asked.

“You’re right darling! I think this might be Kenshin’s son! He looks exactly like him only younger.” Rarity said with a smile as she hugged Kenshin.

“But this one is Kenshin.” The boy said.

“Oh that’s so sweet, he wants to be just like his daddy. He’s even wearing his clothing and talking just like him.” Rarity cooed lovingly as she gave the boy a kiss on the forehead.

“B-but I am Kenshin. This one can prove it too.” He said as the girls began to giggle at his cuteness, but they decided to hear him out.

“Twilight you went into a panic attack yesterday that was so bad that you had to be sedated by doctor heart-throb… Also, I can do this.” Kenshin said as he fought through the pain of his injuries and disappeared from right in front of their very eyes. The boy kept disappearing and reappearing all over the room much to the mare’s amazement and shock.

“K-Kenshin, is that you?” Spike said as he rubbed his eyes sleepily as he and the Cutie Mark Crusaders woke from their sleep.

“Yes it is Spike.” The boy said.

“Ya sort of look like a filly.” Applebloom said which caused Kenshin’s jaw to hit the floor. This was one of the two reason’s he didn’t like being fourteen years old again. The first reason was that he first became Battōsai at the age of fourteen; the second reason was that he was often mistaken for a young girl by those that didn’t know him. He was still very much a man or in this case a boy, but he decided not to say anything as he turned to the six mares that all had shocked looks on their faces as they stared at the swordsman who was now in the body of a child.

(14 year old Kenshin)

“K-K-K-K-Kenshin…Is t-that r-really you? Are you really a child now?” Twilight said in a real shaky voice as he nodded right before she fell to her knees.

“A-And everything that happened at the hospital yesterday was not a dream, b-b-but a-actually happened for real?” Twilight said as her eyes brimmed with tears as all the girls nodded.

“Oh no…nononononononono, this is bad, very bad.” Before Twilight could go on into a full blown panic attack Kenshin rushed up to and pulled her into a hug. As he wrapped his tiny arms around her he pulled out the letters that Celestia sent her yesterday in an attempt to calm her down.

“Twilight calm down and read this, these are the letters that the Princess sent you yesterday when you were having your panic attack.” He said as Twilight read the letters that were from yesterday from the Princess. They said that she would never be angry or upset at her and that she loved her like a daughter and nothing would change that. Twilight managed to slow her breathing down and calm herself down as she slowly lifted her head to look at Kenshin.

“This one’s body is now that of a fourteen year old boy, yes that much is true. How? This one does not know? I am just as worried and scared as you are. But we need to stay calm. We just need to stay calm and figure out how to solve this.” He said as he gently hugged her. As he let her and looked into her eyes, she seemed to be a whole lot calmer and thinking clearly now.

“Y-Yeah, you’re right, sorry.” Twilight said as she was now calm again. As all the girls saw that Twilight was better, they immediately apologized to Kenshin as their faces were red with embarrassment. Kenshin could only chuckle happily and tell them that it was alright.

As they all sat down, Kenshin tightened the sash around his Kimono as best as he could to make up for his decrease in size. As soon as Kenshin finished he saw that Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were standing around him with smiles.

“Wow, I can’t believe that you’re a colt now. Awesome! Hey look Twilight, I’m bigger than Kenshin!” Spike shouted.

“Spike don’t be rude, Kenshin is having a hard enough time as it is.” Twilight said.

“Oh don’t be upset at him Twilight darling, I think that it’s really cute. My little Spikey-Wikey is just happy that he’s growing into a handsome young gentle-drake.” Rarity cooed, causing spike to go gaga over the mare and begin drooling. Kenshin could easily see that Spike had a huge crush on Rarity, it was as plain as day.

As Kenshin grabbed his sword and slid it into his sash, he tried to walk but tripped on his now too long pant legs. Rarity immediately saw this and ran up to Kenshin and helped him up.

“Oh Kenshin darling, are you alright? Here let me fix your outfit for you.” The white unicorn said. Before Kenshin could even voice a protest Rarity began her work and adjustments on the outfit with her magic. Apparently Rarity always carried an emergency sewing kit in case of fashion emergencies as she put it. In just three minutes time the mare adjusted the samurai’s kimono to his new size.

“T-thank you Rarity. That was amazing.” He said as he inspected the outfit he, amazed at how fast she made the adjustments.

“Think nothing of it darling.” She said as she put the sewing kit away.

At that moment the train came to a screeching halt at Canterlot train station. Everyone grabbed their things and headed for the exit. As they walked towards the exit Kenshin walked up beside Twilight.

“Twilight.” The boy asked.

“Yes?” She answered.

“What is the Princess like?” The samurai asked.

“Oh she’s amazing! She’s kind, she’s sweet, she’s always helping ponies, and she’s absolutely the best pony!” Twilight said enthusiastically.

“You really look up to the Princess, don’t you?” The boy asked as they approached the door.

“Heh heh, yeah sorry about that… I kind of go overboard when it comes to the Princess.” The lavender unicorn said sheepishly.

“No need to apologize my friend, it’s good to have someone that you look up to.” The red head said as they stepped off the train and with the others.

“…So Kenshin……What did you write in that letter to the Princess?” Twilight asked.

“Oh nothing, just a letter saying hi.” The red head said.

“Kenshin what did the letter say?” Twilight said, this time with an impatient tone in her voice.

“N-Nothing.” Kenshin said as they were all standing outside at the train station.

“Kenshin. Tell. Me. NOW!” She said in an angry tone as she walked towards the boy. Before she could even reach him, the Kenshin took off running only to run head first into a stallion in a military uniform that had was red with purple accents on it. As the human looked up at the stallion he saw that he had a snow white coat and a neon blue mane.

“Twilight! Oh thank Celestia you’re safe!” He said as he helped the young boy up and ran up to his sister.

“BBBFF, what are you doing here!?” Twilight said with happiness as she ran up to her brother and hugged him.

“I thought it would be a good idea to escort you and your friends along with your samurai friend to the castle. Where is he by the way?” Shining Armor asked as he scratched his head only for the six mares to all point behind him.

“Oh, you are just the cutest thing ever! I could just eat you up!” Cadence squealed.

Everypony turned to see the fourteen year old swordsman being chased around in a circle by the Princess of Love. The pink alicorn chased Kenshin around the train station platform.

“Orororororororo!” He screamed as Cadence caught him in her arms, pressing him against her chest in a tight hug. As Shining Armor looked at the boy, he thought that the girls were joking.

“There is no way that this little colt could possibly be the samurai.” He said only for the young boy to flicker out of Cadence’s arms and reappear right behind Pinkie Pie, leaving Shining Armor slacked jawed at what he just saw. Cadence and the members of the royal guard could not believe what they just saw.

“I-Is that colt… t-t-the samurai?” Shining Armor and Cadence both asked in unison.

“Yeppers!” Pinkie said happily. The guard captain and alicorn both stood there shocked with their jaws hitting the ground. As they looked at the young boy in shock, Shining Armor decided to break the silence as he walked up to the young warrior.

“Hello there, my names Shining Armor. I’m Captain of the Royal Guard and Prince of the Crystal Empire and this is my lovely wife Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, the Princess of Love.” Shining Armor said to which Kenshin got on his knees and bowed with his touching the ground.

“This one’s name is Kenshin Himura, it is an honored to be in your presence Prince and Princess of the Crystal Empire.” The boy said.

“Oh you don’t have to bow to us and just call me Cadence sweetie.” Cadence said with a smile.

“Same here, just call me Shining Armor if you want, there’s no need to be formal with us.” Shining Armor said with a laugh as the swordsman stood up.

“I have to say, I didn’t think that you would be this young. Me and my wife want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving my baby sister and her friends.” The stallion said with a smile. As he looked at the boy he noticed that some blood was seeping through the right shoulder of his black kimono.

“Oh my Celestia! You’re bleeding!” Cadence shrieked in horror at the injured child causing the all the mares to panic.

“Oh, I guess my stitches just tore lose is all. I guess Jin-E cut this one up more than I thought when he was trying to kill this one.” The boy said as if it were nothing as he pulled out a needle and thread that he always kept on him and began stitching himself up. This shocked everypony at seeing a young child sew up a wound as if it were nothing.

“Y-you fought that maniac?” Cadence said in horror as the boy opened the top of his Kimono only to reveal a bunch of scars, stitches, and bruises all over his body that from both his years of fighting and from his battle with Jin-E and the Shadow Warriors. Everypony looked on in horror as they saw the boys scarred and battered body.

“W-Who…Who did this to you?” Cadence asked as her eyes along with everypony’s began to tear up.

“Many have tried to kill this one. Murderers, assassins, serial killers, drug lords, and the occasional power hungry psychopath..and Saito. Fighting in a war didn’t help either. ” He said absent mindedly as he was too busy paying attention to his task at hand to even pay attention to what he was saying. He finished stitching up his wound as he broke the string with his teeth and tied a knot. He moved his shoulder around to see if the stitching held, when he was satisfied with it, he put his Kimono top back on and walked back to the group.

“Well we shouldn’t keep the Princess waiting.” He said as he saw the faces of his friends and the guards. Everypony either had looks of horror or were crying. Only then did Kenshin realize what he said, but before he could say anything the elements of harmony along with Cadence all hugged Kenshin as tears flowed down their faces. Unfortunately for him his face was being pressed into the mares amazing breasts.

“Why me?” The boy thought to himself as he was running out of air.

Little did he know that he was being watched. Two hundred feet away, deep in an alley way was a man with slick greasy black hair and a short mustache that was eyeing the red head with amusement.

“Well Kenshin, it seems that you’re a hit with the ladies.” I'izuka said to himself with an evil smile as he leapt to the top of a tall bell tower where a Japanese long bow and a huge quiver of arrows waited for him.

“I’m no expert with the bow, but I guess I can give it a try.” He said as he picked up the bow and nocked an arrow onto the string and waited for the perfect opportunity to strike.

*Manehatten*

Sanosuke woke up with the sun shining in his eye. As he stood up from the bed he felt something weird in his pants. As he reached in his pants he found something that shocked him. He found a tiny flag tied to his manhood. As he untied the flag and held it in his hand he could help but wonder how it got there.

“How the hell did this get down there?” He said to himself.

______________________________________________________________________________

*Last Night – POV: Vinyl*

Vinyl slowly crept into Sanosuke’s room; he was still passed out from seeing her go at it with Cheerilee. As she slowly walked over to his bed her hoofs made a light clopping sound. As she stood at the foot of the man’s bed she couldn’t help but smile at him. She didn’t know why but she couldn’t get the man out of her head. Ever since the bar fight she hasn’t been able to keep her mind off the young human. From what she could tell, he looked to be slightly younger than her.

Despite his rough exterior, he was actually a pretty nice guy. He was always fun to hang out with; in fact she loved spending time with him. He would always listen to her and pal around with her. One thing confused her though; he was completely clueless with any technology. Just the concept of a TV amazed him. It was as if he was from another world or from the past or something. But the chances of that were impossible. But she did wonder where he was from; he never mentioned anything about himself except that he was looking for his best friend.

“…Saito you bastard…I’ll kick your ass…” Sanosuke mumbled in his sleep.

She couldn’t help but giggle quietly to herself as she saw the man talk in his sleep. She looked at the man lovingly, and stroked the side of his face with her hand as she carefully got up on the bed and straddled his waist. She was thankful that Sanosuke was a heavy sleeper. Otherwise he would have seen a white unicorn that was wearing nothing but a tank top and tiny black shorts.

She slowly pressed her lips against Sanosuke’s, locking their lips together in a passionate kiss, She couldn’t help herself as she slid her tongue deep into his mouth as she moved her hand to the back of his head, pulling him deeper into the kiss, she was in pure bliss as she pulled him deeper and deeper in to the kiss. Since a pony’s tongue was longer than a human’s she kept pushing her tongue deeper and deeper into his mouth until it hit the back of his throat. Unfortunately for Vinyl this caused Sanosuke to go into a coughing fit, causing him to flip onto his side in bed, flinging Vinyl off of him and onto the floor with a loud thud.

Vinyl slowly got up as she rubbed her flank from the impact. To her surprise Sanosuke was still asleep as if nothing had happened. As she stood up, she was about to walk out of the room only to stop in her tracks as she saw the street fighter pitching a huge tent in his pants.

“Heh, I guess that kiss turned him on even in his sleep.” She said with a smirk as her curiosity got the better of her.

“I guess a little peak wouldn’t hurt.” She said as she carefully opened the front of the man’s pants only to be rendered speechless at the man’s amazing size.

“H-Holy shit… You could hang a flag on that thing.” She said as she saw a tiny sports team flag on the wall which caused her to gain a wicked grin as she got an idea. She carefully tied the tiny flag to the man’s pride.

“I claim this wang in the name of Equestria.” She said while striking an epic pose as if she were an explorer finding and claiming a new land, she released a quiet laugh before she snuck out of the room.
______________________________________________________________________________

*Present – POV: Sanosuke*

“…Oh well… Man that was a weird dream… A very weird and very hot dream.” He said as he went downstairs only to be greeted by Cheerilee and Vinyl who were both sitting at the table. When they saw him they instantly felt their faces turn red.

As he saw the look on their faces he had the distinct feeling that there was a small chance that what happened last night was not a dream.

“S-Sanosuke, good morning… Um would you mind taking a seat please? We have a lot to discuss.” Cheerilee said with a nervous smile as Sanosuke sat down nervously. Vinyl was unable to look the human in the eye.

“I-Is something wrong?” He asked shakily as his face turned red.

“It’s about last night.” She replied trying to stay calm, it didn’t work at all.

“Last night wasn’t a dream… Was it?” He asked.

“YES IT WAS!” Vinyl screamed with a huge blush.

“No it wasn’t S-Sanosuke.” Cheerilee said as Vinyl groaned with embarrassment as she hid her face behind her hands.

“Uhhhh…Would you look at the time I got to go fight some random thug!” He said as he tried to get up from the table out of embarrassment only to feel a strong yet gentle hand grab him by the wrist.

“Sanosuke, I know you’re embarrassed, I am too but we have to talk about this… Please.” She said in a pleading tone causing him to groan in defeat as he sat down.

“…Alright.” Sanosuke said as he rested his head in his hands.

“H-How… How much did you see last night?” She asked nervously.

“A-All of it.”

They sat there in silence for a few minutes before Vinyl broke the silence.

“Did you like what you saw?” The DJ asked with a huge blush.

“Vinyl!” The teacher scolded only to find herself waiting for the man’s answer as well. The man sat silent for a minute before he finally caved under the two mares’ gazes.

“…Yes.” He said as his face was now blazing red. This also caused the mares to blush in embarrassment, but this also caused the mares some joy as well due to the fact that the man found them attractive.

“I-It was our fault, we should have k-kept it down. And we should have kept it in the bedroom as well.” Cheerilee said sympathetically, gaining a nod of agreement from Vinyl as she kept her head down.

“It was my fault too! I shouldn’t have been staring at you two! I woke up from a nightmare and went down stairs to get a glass of water when I heard you girls…going at it…I’m so sorry girls, I didn’t mean for that to happen.” He said with a sigh as he ran his hands through his hair.

“It’s okay Sanosuke.” The two mares said in unison.

“What happened anyway? Everything went black at some point.” He asked.

“You passed out right after you said ‘Ow…My dick’.” Vinyl said with a slight giggle causing the human to face palm.

“W-Well Sanosuke d-do you have any q-questions about last night?” Cheerilee asked nervously.

“Y-Yeah uh… What was that thing you were doing with Vinyl’s t-thing?” He asked only to make the mares look at him with confusion.

“The thing sticking out of your forehead.” He said causing both of the mares to give an expression of ‘oh’.

“Oh you mean my horn. What about it?” The unicorn said.

“What was that thing Cheerilee did to it?” He asked causing the unicorn to go red with embarrassment at the question.

“O-OH that w-was a h-horn j-job.” She stuttered, unable to keep eye contact.

“Never heard of it. We don’t have that back in my world.” Sanosuke said absent mindedly as he looked out the window. As he looked back at the mares he saw that their eyes were now as wide as dinner plates, he immediately went wide eyed himself when he realized what he just said out loud.

“Sanosuke… What do you mean by ‘back in your world’?” Cheerilee asked with a concerned look on her face as she along with Vinyl both gently grabbed the man’s hands, causing steam to come out of his ears.

“I-Its nothing… Just a slip of the tongue is all. Heh heh.” Sanosuke said nervously with a sheepish smile as the two mares looked at him with narrowed eyes as he tried to get up from the table only for them to tighten their grips on the man’s hands to prevent him from escaping.

“Sanosuke, we want answers, and we want them now.” Cheerilee said in a serious tone.

“She’s right Sano, tell us the truth. Are you some kind of alien?” Vinyl said.

“I…I…I.” Sanosuke stuttered nervously as beads of sweat started to form on his forehead as the two mares were now sitting to his left and right, preventing him from escaping. But to his surprise he felt the mares ease their grip on his hands as they looked at him sympathetically.

“Sanosuke…You can tell us. It won’t change how we look at you.” The school teacher said as she and Vinyl gave his hands a gentle squeeze. Sanosuke couldn’t help but notice that ponies tended to use a lot of physical contact. As he saw them looking at him expectantly he sighed deeply.

“I can’t lie to you girls.” He said in defeat.

“So you’ll tell us?” They both asked in eagerly in unison.

“Nope!” The man said right before he leapt out from between the two mares and out the open window that led to the streets.

“SANOSUKE!!!!!” The two mares roared right before they gave chase.

______________________________________________________________________________

*Canterlot*

Kenshin was currently gasping for air as the girls finally let go of him.

“Oh you poor little colt, you are so damaged! Don’t worry, we’ll take you to the Princess and she’ll make sure that those bad ponies never hurt you again!” Cadence said in a sympathetic voice.

“*HUFF* What *HUFF* the hell *HUFF*” Kenshin gasped out loud causing Fluttershy to gasp softly as she walked up to Kenshin and crouched down to talk to him at his eye level.

“Little colts shouldn’t say bad words like that.” Fluttershy said with the fierceness of a baby kitten as she wagged her finger at Kenshin.

“But I-” He tried to say only to be cut off by the butter yellow mare.

“No!” She said in the most soft and cute voice ever heard.

“But-”

“No!”

“I-”

“No! No! No!” She said softly as she continued to wag her finger at him and looked at Kenshin seriously which only caused him to smile at how cute she was.

“Fluttershy, you will make a wonderful mother someday.” He said which caused her face to blush bright red right before he started scratching behind her ear which caused her eyes to roll back into her head as one of her hooves started to lightly kick the ground, making a clopping sound as her tongue lolled out of her mouth.

“Um… Not to sound rude or anything but… I think we should start heading to the castle now.” Shining Armor said politely.

“Of course, please lead the way Shining Armor.” Kenshin said as he stopped scratching Fluttershy’s ear much to her disappointment.

As they all began to walk towards the castle Pinkie Pie stood very close to Kenshin, not leaving his side once. As the swordsman walked through the city he couldn’t help but marvel at its beauty and size. But as he walked he heard the whispers of the crowds of ponies that saw them passing by.

“Hey isn’t that the samurai that stopped that whole army single handedly!” One mare said.

“I thought he would be older. But he is pretty cute.” Another mare said.

“He may be young but he is perfect for breeding. Oh the things I would do to that colt behind closed doors! Mmm, come to momma and we’ll make the strongest army of baby samurai to ever exist!” A noble unicorn mare said with a sultry tone in her voice as she waved to the young samurai with a wink.

“WHAT THE FUCK!!!” Kenshin thought to himself in a panic at hearing this.

“I can’t wait to arrange a marriage with him and my daughters!” Another noble mare said.

“HELP!!! HELP!!! STRANGER DANGER!!!” The boy screamed in his mind only to see the mane six surround him in a protective way, staring down any mare that was looking at the boy.

At that moment Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy both wrapped their tails around Kenshin’s hands and arms, guiding him along. As he was guided along by the Pinkie and Fluttershy he couldn’t help but admire how much the six mares have all done for him.

“That’s neat how you are able to do that with your tails.” He said as he admired how soft and silky their tails felt.

“O-Oh, t-this is how mommies walk with their children sometimes. They use either their hands or tail to make sure their babies never wander off.” Fluttershy said timidly with a pink tint to her cheeks.

As the boy looked around he saw that young colts and fillies were being led around by their mothers in a similar manner. Some were being led by hand while others were being guided along by their mother’s tail. Kenshin couldn’t help but find the sight very endearing and cute.

“Couples also hold each other’s hands like this!” Pinkie said with a gigantic smile as they continued to walk.

As they were walking, Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders ran up next to the young samurai.

“Hey Kenshin, when did you start your training to become a samurai?” Applebloom asked with a smile.

“Around the age of seven this one believes.” The boy said.

“Wow, you were just a baby!” Sweetiebelle shouted.

“How long have you had that sword?” Scootaloo asked cocking her head to the side.

“This one has had Sakabatō for many years… It was made specifically for me by an old friend by the name of Arai Shakkū, a master blacksmith.” He said.

“Cool! Do you think he’d make us some swords!” the Spike asked with excitement.

“He died a long time ago.” Kenshin said solemnly.

“O-Oh…Sorry.”

“It’s alright, you didn’t know? Besides, this one should be apologizing for making you all miss school.”

“It’s summer break so we don’t have to go to school right now.” Sweetiebelle said with a smile.

“Oh okay.” He said as they continued on their way.

Shining Amor and Cadence couldn’t help but watch the young boy curiously as they followed behind him. They both couldn’t help but wonder how this young child was able to take on an army of shadow warriors along with a deranged serial killer.

They felt extreme sorrow and sympathy for the boy. When Cadence saw the scars and the emptiness in the boy’s eyes she almost broke down crying. Shining Armor was greatly disturbed when Kenshin said that he had fought in a war. There has never been a war in Equestria during the Princesses entire lives and rule. But this boy…this boy had the look of somepony that had stared death in the face so many times that nothing could faze him at this point, it was as if this boy had only known sorrow and death throughout his whole life. His eyes unnerved the seasoned guard captain. Those light purple eyes stared straight through his soul but… they had no malicious intent in them what so ever.

“Something wrong?” The human asked without looking back.

“N-No, it’s just that it’s hard to believe that you fought that maniac and his army and won.” Shining Armor said. He couldn’t help but wonder how this child was able to vanish out of his wife’s arms earlier. Was it magic? No, he would have sensed it immediately. Was it his speed? No, no pony could have speed and reflexes that fast. It was impossible he thought.

At that point as the unicorn was about to speak, Kenshin heard the faint yet distinct sound a bow being pulled back as it made a creaking sound as the string was stretched.

*THWAP!* *THWAP!*

Both of Kenshin’s hands immediately shot out and in front of Cadence and Shining Armor’s faces and caught the two arrows in his hands just as they were an inch from their faces. Both Shining Armor and Cadence were shocked at what just happened but were quickly brought out of it when Kenshin took charge of the situation.

“ASSASSIN!!! MAKE A RUN FOR THE CASTLE!!!” The samurai shouted to which the guards immediately surround everypony as they lifted their shields in a defensive stance, creating a protective dome around everypony as they all ran for the castle that was off in the distance.

______________________________________________________________________________
*POV Sanosuke*

Sanosuke had managed to get a good distance away before the mares could even get out the door. As the man ran for his life he found the perfect place for hiding in. A book store. The man ducked into the store just in time. As he ran in he and duck behind a book shelf the two mares ran by screaming Sansouke’s name. As soon as he made sure that the coast was clear, he stepped out and let out a sigh.

“Well, well, it seems that you are a hit with the ladies.” Said a familiar voice that the man immediately recognized as Discord.

“I realized something Discord.” The man said as he faced the spirit of chaos.

“What’s that?” Discord asked with curiosity.

“No matter what world you’re in, women are insane!” He said as they both burst out into laughter.

“You call yourself the master of chaos, that’s bull shit! Piss off a woman and you’re fucked, now that’s true chaos!” He said causing Discord to bust a gut literally as he laughed harder and harder.

“It’s true! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!” He said as they both calmed from their bout of laughter.

“So what are you doing here anyway?” The street fighter asked.

“Oh I just wanted to check up on my favorite street fighter and see how he was doing.” Discord said feigning an innocent smile while batting his eyelashes. Sanosuke just looked at him with a deadpan look on his face.

“You came to see me get my ass kicked by Cheerilee and Vinyl.” He said.

“Bingo!” The master of chaos said as he snapped his fingers, making a brown bag appear in his hands.

“Here you go my friend.” Discord said as he tossed the bag to the man.

Sanosuke looked at the bag of for a few seconds before he opened it and looked at its contents. He saw that the bag was filled with white cubes.

“What the hell is this?”

“They’re sugar cubes. Ponies just can’t get enough of them. They are one of the most loved confectionary sweets in Equestria! I suggest that you use it to get on those mares good side.” Discord says with a chuckle as the man puts the bag in his coat.

“Why is it I don’t trust you?” The man said.

“You act as if I am up to something.” Discord said as he snapped his fingers, teleporting the man into the middle of the town square.

“W-What the fuck just happened!” He said as he heard Discord’s laughter.

“THERE HE IS!” Vinyl screamed as she and Cheerilee chased after him.

“DISCORD YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!” He said as he ran for his life.

“Get back here and tell us the truth!” The teacher screamed.

“Never!” He said as he darted through a market place with the mares hot on his heels. Vinyl tried to grab the man with her magic only for it to have no effect on him much to her surprise along with Cheerilee. The man rushed around vendor stands and vaulted over a railing much to everypony’s surprise.

“Why are you chasing me!?” He asked.

“Because you ran!” Vinyl shouted.

“Funny, the police say that to me all the time!” The man said right before he darted down an alley way only to find that it was a dead end. This caused him to panic as he tried to search for a way out only to see the two mares blocking the only exit.

As the two mares slowly made their way to the man, ready to tackle him to the ground. He slowly turned around and held up his hands in a pleading motion.

“C-Come on ladies, w-we can talk about this?”

“Oh you’re damn right we’re going to talk about this!” Cheerilee said with an angry voice.

“Why are you so hell bent on me talking?” He asked as he was now slowly stepping backwards.

“Because you are a troubled teen that needs help!” She shouted which caught Sanosuke off guard.

“……Teacher say what?” He asked with a deadpan look that said ‘you can’t be serious’.

“It’s obvious that you’ve had a hard life and a dark past. I mean look at how young you are and yet your body is covered with scars, I want to know what is going on!” The teacher said in an upset tone.

“So I got some scars, big deal. Besides, it’s not like I stick out in any way.” He said as he saw that the two walls in the alley way were close giving him an idea.

“You are literally a walking talking mythological creature.” Vinyl said with a deadpan look on her face.

At that moment both mares lunged at the man only for him to leap high into the air, vaulting back and forth between the two walls by kicking himself off of them, making him go higher and higher until he was on the roof tops in a matter of seconds much to the two mares amazement.

“Sorry girls! I’ll see you two later when you both calm down!” He said laughing as he ran across the roof tops, leaping from one roof top to the next until he found himself at the top of a very tall building. As he let out a sigh he sat down on the top of the roof. At that moment Discord decided to pop up out of nowhere.

“What do you want now you bastard?” Sanosuke said in an annoyed tone without even looking in his direction.

“Oh no need to be so angry my friend. You’re acting like a big baby.” Discord said as he snapped his taloned fingers causing a bunch of neon signs to appear on top of the building that read ‘Sanosuke is here!!!’. But the human was too busy trying to ignore the chaos spirit to even see the signs.

“That was a dick move and you know it!” The brawler shouted to the Draconequus as he let out a sigh.

“Why?” The man asked.

“Why what?” The Draconequus asked mischievously.

“Why did you bring me back from the dead?” Sanosuke asked with his eyes staring off into the distance as he rested his chin on his fist.

Discord was silent for a few minutes as he too looked off into the distance.

“That is a good question, one that I cannot answer right now… But I will tell you this… Everypony deserves a second chance.” Discord said.

“SANOSUKE!!!” That was all he heard as he was tackled to the ground by the two mares.

“What the hell! How did you two even get up here?” He asked as the two mares were now on top of him, holding him down to keep him from escaping.

“I teleported me and Cheers up here. Now tell us what’s going on and why are you talking with Discord?” Vinyl said with a wide sly grin spreading on her face at the thought of something exciting happening.

“Oh this is getting good.” Discord said as he laid back while floating in midair with a bag of popcorn appearing in his hand which he began to devour with glee.

“What are you doing here Discord?” Cheerilee asked with suspicion.

“Oh nothing really, just talking to the young boy about how I brought him to this world from his own world was all!” He said with a sly smile as he giggled.

“WHAT!” Both mares shouted in unison.

“So it is true. You are an alien. SWEET!” Vinyl said in wonder and amazement.

“Discord shut up!” The man shouted as the teacher and DJ held him down as he struggled. He was amazed at how strong the teacher was, Vinyl was pretty strong as well but Cheerilee was obviously stronger out of the two.

“Oh don’t worry, I mean it’s not like they’re going to find out that I brought you back from the dead. Oh wait a minute, they just did. Whoopsie!” He said with a mischievous grin as the mares looked at the man as Discord along with the neon signs that were summoned, vanished in an explosion of whoopee cushions and rubber chickens leaving them in complete silence.

“Vinyl, take us back home.” The teacher said with an emotionless tone to which the unicorn did. A bright flash of light filled the air as the three were teleported back to their apartment living room.

“Sanosuke, what did Discord mean when he said that he brought you back from the dead?” Cheerilee said as they were trying to get answers only for the human in question to run to the bathroom and begin vomiting into the toilet.

“Sanosuke!” Cheerilee screamed she said as ran to the man to see if he was alright.

“URRRGH!!!”

“Relax Cheers, he just got sick from the teleportation spell was all.” Vinyl said as she along with Cheerilee both rubbed the man’s back in an attempt to comfort him.

“URRRGH!!!” He vomited again. This went on for a few minutes before Sanosuke eventually stopped throwing his guts up. As the man wiped his mouth off and went to the sink to clean himself up a bit as he gargled some water and spat it into the sink.

As he turned around he saw the mare’s look at him with worried eyes but those same eyes said that he had a lot of explaining to do. As he faced them he let out a sigh as the mares led him into the living room and sat down on the couch.

“Sanosuke why were you talking with Discord and what did he mean by he brought you back from the dead?” Cheerilee said as she grabbed Sanosuke’s hand comfortingly trying to get the man to open up.

“Yeah, you can tell us Sano, it won’t change how we look at you.” Vinyl said as she grabbed his other hand and gently squeezed it. Having both of the mares holding his hands made the man blush madly as steam came out of his ears.

“Uh sure…Where do I start?” He said nervously.

“The beginning is usually best.” Cheerilee said with a sly smile.

Sanosuke could only laugh at her antics as he began to tell the two mares how he got to Equestria.

______________________________________________________________________________

*Canterlot*

Kenshin and the girls were running as fast as they could as arrows rained down on them from above. Shining Armor along with Cadence and a few unicorn guards used their magic to create a shield. But despite how many arrows they blocked a good amount was still able to get through much to their surprise. But Kenshin was able to swat and slice apart the arrows that got through the shield as they ran.

Shining Armor and Cadence were amazed to say the least as they watched the young boy draw his sword at incredible speeds and slice the arrows out of the air. But they could see that his injuries were giving him trouble as he tried to protect his friends. The guards were doing their best as they blocked the arrows with their shields as best as they could.

They could all see the castle insight up ahead as Shining Armor radio the castle on their situation and told them to be prepared to open the gates. As the arrows came down Kenshin slice each of them to pieces, making them nothing more than a pile of splinters as the ran through the city streets as the city’s citizens ran screaming in terror to cover or into their houses. But at that moment the arrows stopped all together. They didn’t take the chance as they all kept running.

As they got close to the castle gates they could hear the guards that stood at the gates shouting to open the gates as they saw the group coming.

As it seemed that they were home free a whole flurry of arrows shot through the air as they all came down on them with deadly precision only to be slashed out of the air by Kenshin. But as more and more arrows came down, both Shining Armor and Cadence shields shattered under the relentless furry of the arrows that just kept coming and coming.

As one more barrage came at them Kenshin quickly sheathed his sword and drew it at such high rate speed that his strikes were appeared as a blur. But unfortunately one arrow managed to get through much to the samurai’s horror. When Kenshin turned to see where the stray arrow was heading he was horrified at what he saw. It was heading directly for Pinkie Pie’s heart. As the pink mare saw the arrow head towards her heart her eyes turned to pin pricks as she saw her life flash before her eyes.

Without even thinking Kenshin used one final burst of speed and threw himself in front of the arrows path.

“AGH!!!” Kenshin screamed as the arrow ripped all the way through his left shoulder and came out on the other side causing him to collapse much to Pinkie’s horror as she rushed to the boy’s side. As he felt the mind numbing searing pain he knew he could not just sit there, he had to get up and run to the gates with the girls but due to the blood loss from the last fight with Jin-E and his Shadow Warriors, Kenshin was well past limit.

But at that moment Kenshin saw where the arrows were coming from as he felt someone pick him up and throw him over his shoulder, it was Shining Armor.

“We got wounded!” Shining Armor said as he carried the boy to safety.

“The bell tower, the archer is in the bell tower.” Kenshin grunted in pain as he pointed at the tower in question. Cadence and the guard captain both fired a blast of magic at the tower as they all ran through the castle gates which closed behind them and into the castle.

______________________________________________________________________________

At that moment I'izuka saw two blasts of pink and blue magic headed his way causing a jolt of fear to shoot through him.

“Oh shit! I’m out!” The man said as he leaped out of the tower just before it exploded. The hitokiri landed on the ground in a roll. As he took off running he laughed.

“Well my work here is done. Looks like their defenses really are shit, the boss will be happy to hear this.” He said as he ran down a dark alleyway and made his escape.
______________________________________________________________________________

*Manehatten*

“At that point I managed to get Kenshin passage on a ship back to Tokyo.” Sanosuke said as he finished up his story. To say that the two mares were shocked would be the understatement of the century as they both sat there with jaws hitting the table.

“Y-You fought a tiger!” Vinyl said with amazement.

“Yeah. I needed its liver to make a special type of medicine to help him survive the trip back to Japan.” He replied as if it were nothing. The two mares were amazed to say the least at the lengths the man would go to in order to help his friends.

Sanosuke decided that it was best to only tell Cheerilee and Vinyl about how he found Kenshin and helped him get to Japan. He didn’t tell them much about his past except for a couple of adventures like how he met Kenshin and how he and Kenshin and their friends all saved Megumi. But he told them that it was mainly Kenshin that was the hero because he did most of the work.

“Why did you attack Kenshin in the first place when you first met him?” Vinyl asked him.

“Oh that, well I was a fight merchant hired to ‘take care’ of Kenshin by one of his enemies.” He said with a look of deep sorrowful guilt.

“What do you mean by ‘take care of’?” Cheerilee asked with a look of worry.

“I won’t lie…I was hired to kill him.” This shocked both of the mares as they looked at him in complete horror.

“BUT he kicked the living shit out of me and helped me change my ways to make the long story short. Ever since then I have been trying to help anyone that I come across that needs it.” He said.

“So you’re not a fight merchant anymore?” Cheerilee asked with concern.

“Nope, I’m just trying to find my best friend and help him.” He said with a sigh causing the two mares to sigh in relief and gain small smiles.

“So this guy Aoshi just knocked you out with one hit to the back of your head?” Vinyl said with a laugh.

“Hey the guy is a NINJA!” He said in defense as the mares had a look of surprise.

“You mean those guys in black suits that have swords on their backs?” The DJ asked with curiosity.

“Actually Vinyl that’s just how they are perceived in the media, they often wore navy blue or disguises.” The teacher said as she remembered the course she took in college on Neighponese culture, she was amazed that the man took on a ninja and survived. They were also surprised that the man’s friend was a samurai.

“Yeah well, I was wondering how you did that teleporting thing that brought us here.” He asked.

“Oh that! I was using my magic.” Vinyl said with a smile. This surprised Sansouke considering Sanosuke was a very superstitious man.

“How does that work?” He asked at which point Cheerilee went into giving a text book answer on the three races.

“Oh, well that explains how you’re so strong.” He said as he remembered Cheerilee holding him down earlier.

‘Yes well, you still haven’t told us how you came to this world.” The teacher said.

“Oh yeah, that well I heard that Kenshin died right after he was reunited with his wife. I died a few years later. When I died I found myself in a black void where I met Discord who told me that Kenshin was here in this world. When I arrived here I ended up outside of the bar where I met you girls. I walked into the bar and saw you girls in trouble, as for the rest I think we all know.” He said causing the girls to once again have shocked expressions on their faces, but this time they had a look of deep sorrow as well.

“…”

“You girls okay?” Sanosuke said with a worried look. Vinyl and Cheerilee just looked at the brawler with tears brimming in their eyes before they lunged at the man and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.

“Oh you poor damaged colt! To have died at such a young age! I am so sorry, no wonder you act like such a delinquent and pick fights with criminals, it’s a cry for attention!” The teacher wailed.

“Wait, what?” The man asked but was ignored.

“Yeah, I’m sorry Sano. I didn’t know you had such a hard life! You just wanted to see your long lost friend!” Vinyl cried.

“Um girls it’s fine, really.” After a few minutes of Sanosuke calming down the girls things were quiet once again.

“Damn, I’d hate to imagine how they would react if they found out about my childhood.” He thought to himself as an idea came to his head.

“Hey girls, is it okay if I ask you something?” The street fighter asked which got a nod from both mares.

“What’s a horn job?”

“W-What?” Vinyl stuttered with a huge blush.

“Hey, I had to tell you girls something so it’s only fair that you do the same.” Sanosuke said with a laugh. The two mares could easily tell that the man was doing this to get back at them for chasing him and forcing him to talk about himeself.

“W-Well it was what you saw C-Cheerilee doing to my horn yesterday. You basically rub a unicorn’s horn until they…get off… Then a weird goo comes out of the horns tip.” She said with a huge blush which caused the man to do so as well.

“Had a dry spell yesterday did ya?” He said which to the surprise of the caused Cheerilee to burst out laughing to which Sanosuke and Vinyl joined in as well.

“Man, this has got to be the most awkward day I have ever had in my entire life.” He said with a laugh to which the two mares joined in.

“Yeah well we didn’t exactly mean for you to see us going at it.” Cheerilee said with a blush.

“Sooooo……You two are together.” The brawler asked awkwardly.

“Y-Yeah… Is there s-something wrong with that?” Cheerilee asked with worry.

“Hell no! You love who you love, that’s all that matters. I make it a personal rule to never judge people…or ponies in this case. Anyone who gives you two any problems about your relationship will have to deal with me.” He said with a gentle smile which caused the two mares to smile.

“But I have to admit that this is the first time that I have ever seen two girls together.” He said while scratching his head.

“What do you mean? How are relationships done in your world?” Vinyl asked curiously.

“From as far back as I can remember, it’s always been one man with one woman.” Sanosuke said absentmindedly. Both mares were surprised at the man’s answer.

“Must be a lot of lonely mares in your world. Doesn’t your specious have herds?” Cheerilee says with curiosity.

“What’s a herd?” Sanosuke asks while tilting his head to the side in a mixture of both curiosity and confusion.

Cheerilee and Vinyl both began to explain to Sanosuke what a herd is and how over 90 percent of the population is made up of mares and how most mares are bisexual due to the lack of stallions.

“W-Wow…So a stallion can have multiple wives? I have no idea what to say to that.” he said with a shocked look on his face which caused the mares to giggle.

“The reason why me and Cheers are together is because we care about each other, obviously. But also so we can be part of the same herd.” The DJ said with a smile.

“So friends get together in the same herd and can love each other?” He asked.

“Yes they can, this works out pretty well believe it or not?” Vinyl answered.

“Next you’ll be telling me that the gender roles are reversed here.” The man said with a laugh. This confused the mares greatly.

“What do you mean Sanosuke? What gender is dominant in your world, male or female?” Cheerilee asked with curiosity.

“Male, why?” He answered with a confused expression.

“Well, I think you will be very surprised at what I am about to say Sanosuke.” The teacher said as she began before telling Sanosuke about the workings of Equestrian society.

______________________________________________________________________________

*Canterlot Castle*

Kenshin was having one of the castle’s doctors heal his shoulder with magic much to his amazement. He began to wonder why he was able to be healed by magic yet things like levitation did not affect him. He thanked Shining Armor for saving him and carrying him to the castle to which the stallion told him that it was nothing and he that he was happy to help.

Pinkie Pie and the girls on the other hand were panicking over the boys injuries, especially Pinkie Pie who kept holding Kenshin and crying while pressing his face against her enormous breasts. It didn’t help matters at all when it came time to remove the arrow. Much to everypony’s horror Kenshin simply broke the barbed tip off and yanked the arrow out which caused the doctors to panic. As the man’s shoulder was healed Pinkie Pie lunged at Kenshin and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.

“Kenny, I’m soooo sorry! It’s all my fault that you got hurt!” Pinkie Pie wailed as she continued to hug the young samurai.

“It’s alright Pinkie Pie, this one is alright my friend.” Kenshin said as he stared at the adorable pink party mare. Kenshin didn’t know why but he had a very special place in his heart for Pinkie Pie. Her innocence and childlike nature along with her friendly nature was always welcomed.

“No it’s not!” She said as she cried into his shoulder which muffled her voice. Kenshin gently placed a hand under Pinkie’s chin and lifted her gaze to his to meet his.

“Pinkie it is alright, this one chose to throw himself into that arrows path. I should be the one apologizing. It was my fault that you girls were put in danger. This one is very sorry.” He said to Pinkie Pie whose mane was currently deflated and straight. Pinkie’s eyes immediately went wide at the boy’s statement.

“No-no-no-no-no-nopey-dopey-wopey-it-was-all-my-fault!” Pinkie Pie sobbed rapidly into Kenshin’s shoulder, the salt from her tears burning his wounds as they were being healed by the magic, this caused the boy to grunt in pain. Kenshin continued to stroke the mare’s fluffy and curly pink mane as her sobs eventually turned to soft whimpers.

“Better?” He asked as the mare looked at him with tears in her eyes as she nodded slowly.

“Pinkie Pie, please understand that no matter what happens, I will make sure that nothing happens to you or the others. Even if it costs this one his life, he will fight to protect you all no matter what.” He said with a gentle smile which caused Pinkie and the others to smile as the doctor finished healing the boy as best as he could with his magic.

“Well, there you go young colt. You should be fine, but you need to get a lot of rest and relax. NO MORE FIGHTING! I don’t care if you’re a samurai; you are too young to be putting yourself in danger like that. Let the guards handle things like that, that’s what they’re there for. Now the Princesses are waiting for you, you shouldn’t keep them waiting little guy.” The unicorn doctor said with a smile as he ruffled the boy’s hair good naturedly.

As they all left the infirmary they made their way to the down a long and wide hallway. As they walked Kenshin saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders eyeing Spike with huge blushes covering their faces. Kenshin could easily tell that the three fillies had a crush on the young dragon. Kenshin couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he saw the young drake who was talking with said fillies, completely clueless to his situation.

“How you feeling?” He heard a voice ask as he turned his head to see Shining Armor walking beside him on his left.

“Much better, thank you. Also thank you for saving this one as well.” The red head said with a smile.

“It’s the least I could do, especially since you saved me and my wife. By the way how did you catch those arrows like that?” The guard captain asked with amazement.

“Years of practice my friend.” He said as they approached two large doors that had a symbol of a sun and a moon on them. As they all approached them, they flung open at full force and hit Kenshin square in the face and nose as he was sent flying back and into the arms of Pinkie Pie. The young boy lay in her arms, knocked out. Everypony looked up to see who had opened the doors only to see the Celestia standing there with a horrified look on her face at what she had just done as Luna came walking up behind.

“Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I didn’t know he was standing behind there, I heard that you were being attacked by an assassin and I came rushing to see if I could help!” Celestia said as she panicked at what she had just done to the young boy. Luna could only face palm.

“Oro.” Pinkie said with a huge smile much to the shock of everyone, including Kenshin who was starting to wake up but passed out in shock at what he had just heard.

______________________________________________________________________________

*Manehattan*

Sanosuke’s mouth was repeatedly opening and closing like a fish at what he had just heard.

“Sano, you okay dude?” Vinyl asked with concern. The man was surprised to hear that mares were in charge and were the protectors and providers while stallions were basically handled hard labor or house work and things like that. Stallions were often protected by mares due to their low numbers. Sanosuke was in no way a sexist by any means, but he was having a huge case of culture shock at the moment.

“Y-Yeah, just fine. Just realizing that I am officially screwed at this point in my life.” He said as his left eye twitched when he found out that gender roles were reversed in Equestria.

“Sanosuke it’s okay. You have nothing to worry about, stallions have equal rights, back in ancient times they didn’t but now they do in modern day Equestria.” Cheerilee said to the man who was still in a state of shock.

“I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling that I am going to end up as a house wife.” Sanosuke said as he let his head hit the table hard.

“Sanosuke, you can do a great many of things here in Equestria, all you need is a basic education. It’s not like you’ve never had a basic school education or anything.” The teacher said as she rubbed the man’s back in an attempt to comfort him.

“I’M FUCKED!!!” He screamed as he slammed his head against the table over and over again in rapid succession which horrified the two mares. The two mares tried to stop him.

“Sanosuke don’t do that!” The mares screamed in unison.

“Why are you doing that?” Cheerilee asked.

“Because I have never even set foot into a school in my whole life. Believe it or not I only know how to read and write and do a little math because of my mother. She taught me when I was just a boy. That’s how most kids would learn back in my villiage.” He said as he sighed in defeat. Needless to say Cheerilee didn’t like this one bit; she always emphasized the importance of an education to her little students, it was necessary to survive and make a living.

“How could that happen!? Wasn’t there a schoolhouse or a teacher to teach the children!?” She said with worry and concern.

“There was one.” He said as his eyes glazed over and his tone became emotionless.

“What happened to it!?” The teacher asked.

“During the war it was burnt down when my village was attacked even though none of us even put up a fight and surrendered. The school house was one of the many things that burnt down that day.” He said with pure malice and hatred in his voice. As he did he noticed the looks of pure terror and horror at what they had just heard. He immediately felt bad for scaring them and his expression immediately softened as he apologized to them.

“Sorry girls, just a bad memory is all, let’s change the subject. Point is I don’t have much book smarts.” He said with a gentle and warm smile, making the girls calm down.

“W-well I am going to help you Sanosuke, I’d be more than happy to help teach you the things you don’t know.” Cheerilee said with a warm smile deciding not to press the man on the subject.

“I don’t have a choice in this, do I?” The man asked with a deadpan look on his face.

“Nope.” The teacher said with a smile, causing the man to sigh in defeat to which Vinyl laughed.

“Also, you can’t be going out at night by yourself Sanosuke. It’s dangerous for a colt your age to be walking out in the city by himself; someone could easily take advantage of you!” Cheerilee said with genuine concern and worry to the former gangster.

“Uh, you saw me fight at the bar remember? I think I can defend myself.” He said with a cocky grin.

“I don’t care! The city is dangerous for a young stallion let alone a young colt like yourself!”

“Actually, I have to agree with Cheers on this one Sano, you’re in our world now so things are probably much different than yours.” Vinyl said as she saw the man growing annoyed as he rubbed the temples of his head.

“We’re just worried about you Sanosuke. We’re just trying to look out for you is all.” The DJ said with sympathy.

“I know girls, its ok. I know you mean well.” Sanosuke said with a sigh.

“Thanks Sanosuke.” They both said with a smile despite the fact that they knew that Sanosuke was not going to heed their warnings and still go out into the dangerous parts of the city at night but considering his skills they figured that he would be fine.

As Sanosuke reached up and adjusted his headband for a few seconds he remembered the bag of sugar cubes that Discord gave him. As he reached into his coat he found the bag and pulled a hand full of the white cubes from the bag, putting the bag back into his coat without the mares seeing it. Out of curiosity, he flicked one into his mouth with his thumb to see how it tasted. He didn’t care much for it due to the fact that it was just pure sugar.

As the girls talked to each other, they heard a loud crunching sound. They turned to the source to see their human friend munching on something.

“What’re you eating?” The two mares asked with curiosity.

“These.” He said as he held out two of the white cubes between his fingers, offering them to the two mares.

“Sugar cubes!!!” They squealed as they lunged over the table and at the man as they grabbed the sweets from the man and quickly tossed the cubes into their own mouths. As they crunched the treats in their mouths with looks of pure bliss on their faces as they swallowed the sugar cubes.

“Wow! You girls must really like-” Sanosuke was interrupted by the two mares as the tackled him to the ground and began searching for the more of the tasty treats. As they sniff around for more, they manage to find the bag in Sanosuke’s coat only for him to leap back with the back, keeping it out of their reach as the man held to more cubes in his hand. The girls lunged at the man again only for him to leap out of the way.

“Whoa, you girls must really love these things.” Sanosuke said only for the girls to ignore him and watch the sugary cubes in his hands. They stood in front of him with hungry eyes as their tails wagged like a dog when it is expecting a treat.

“Sugar cubes! Are they for us!? Are they!? Can we have them please! PLEASE!” They begged as they pressed themselves into Sanosuke eagerly. Vinyl unknowingly pressed her breasts against the man’s face as she and her marefriend tried to grab the sugar cubes. Sanosuke could see the unicorn’s neon blue nipples press through her thin white T-shirt. Sanosuke’s face was getting redder by the second causing him to front flip over the two mares.

“Whoa girls, calm down and I’ll give them to you if you promise to just calm down!” The man said pleadingly as he was pressed against the wall. To his surprise the girls managed to tone down their excitement, barely.

“PLEASE! PLEASE!” The two mares said in unison to which the man sighed in defeat as he threw the two cubes into the air to which the mares caught them in their mouth. The mares looked at the man expectantly to which they began to freak the man out as they inched their way closer. He pulled out two more. As they got closer he knew that he was cornered as they crept closer.

Sanosuke held them both out with shaky hands as they stared at him with predatory grins as they literally ate the cubes of sugar out of the man’s hands. They man was shocked as he felt their lips on his hands as they devoured the treats yet again. Sanosuke could tell that these mares were obviously addicted to these sweets. The sugar cubes were nothing special, just cubes made of pure sugar. As the girls finished the treats yet again they stared at the man.

“S-Sorry girls but I’m all out.” He lied as the girls eyes narrowed at him suspiciously.

“We can smell them on you.” Vinyl said with a deadpan tone as they both lunged at the man who just barely managed to dodge the two as he ran to his room and slammed the door shut and locked it behind him. The two mares banged on the door.

“Don’t hold out on us!” Cheerilee shouted through the door as the street fighter started barricading the door with furniture. When he was done he laid on his bed.

“You girls have had enough! I don’t know why you girls like that stuff so much but too much sugar is bad for you.” He said as the banging on the door eventually died down.

“Huh, guess they gave up.” He said as he turned over in his bed, deciding to take a nap until things blew over, only for a bright flash of neon blue light to fill the room. As he turned to see what it was, he felt a sense of dread at what he saw.

“Oooooh Sanosuke.” The two mares said as they stood in front of him at the foot of his bed. He tried jump out the window only for Vinyl to close the shutters with her magic causing him to smash face first into the wooden shutters.

“I am so fucked.” He said right before the two mare’s dog piled on him.

*Canterlot Castle*

“Pinkie Pie, please be reasonable about this. I did not mean to hurt Kenshin, just please let us take a look at him.” Celestia pleaded as Pinkie Pie was cradling the young red head with the bloody nose in her arms as she growled viciously at the Princesses and any guards that tried to approach them to check on the boy, scaring them and the Princessess much to everypony’s surprise, making them back away in fear.

Cadence could sense a deep sense of love for the samurai radiating off of Pinkie Pie, as well as the other elements of harmony, but Pinkie Pie’s love was so strong that Cadence could hardly believe it.

“Ugh…My head.” The young boy thought to himself as he slowly came to and saw what was happening. He saw Pinkie Pie cradling him in her arms and as he saw what was going on he realized what was happening and knew he had to intervene.

“P-Pinkie it’s alright, this was all an accident. There is no need to get upset over a bloody nose that this one got.” He said which caused everypony to gasp as they saw that he was awake and getting up. As he stood up on his own Pinkie immediately checked the boy to see if he was alright by tilting his head back gently to check his nose. When she was done and saw that he only had a bloody nose she spoke.

“Okie dokey loki.” She said with narrowed eyes of suspicion before her expression shifted to a gigantic smile.

“Sorry Princess for getting upset.” The party mare said with an apologetic look on her face.

“It’s quite alright Pinkie, you were just worried about your knew friend.” Celestia said with a motherly smile causing the pink mare to have a huge smile cross her face. Celestia then turned her attention to the young red head. As she approached the young boy, he got to his knees and bowed to both princesses by pressing his head and hands to the ground.

“Please rise young colt; there is no need to bow to us. After what you have done for my little ponies, you are a friend to all of Equestria and the crown.” She said with a gentle smile to which the swordsman stood up and gazed into the Princess of the Sun’s eyes. Kenshin couldn’t help but feel as if he had known this mare at one time or another as he stared into her light violet eyes.

As he looked at the mare he saw that she had both a horn and wings. She was a snow white mare wearing regally that was made of gold with a long and beautiful white dress that was made of the finest silk that fitted her body perfectly like a night gown and helped to show off her curves and her massive breasts by hugging her body. He had to look up in order to make eye contact as she towered over him with her amazing height. He saw a tattoo of a sun as her cutie mark on her shoulders, hips, and flanks.

“I am Princess Celestia and this is my baby sister Princess Luna. I raise and lower the sun and Luna the moon.” She said causing Luna to blush at being called a baby by her older sister.

“It is an honor your highness.” Kenshin said with a smile to both Princesses. This caused Celestia to hold a hand in front of her mouth and giggle politely. This caused Kenshin have a deep sense of déjà vu. Her actions seemed so familiar but he didn’t know why.

“There is no need for such formal titles young samurai. Just call me Celestia.” She said with a warm motherly smile.

“Thou may call us Luna, brave young warrior.” Luna said.

Kenshin looked at the second princess and saw that she also had both a horn and wings as well. Her fur was a dark shade of midnight blue which complimented her beautiful black silk dress well, which like her sister’s also hugged her body, showing off her curves and perfect breasts. He saw that her cutie mark was that of a moon with a black splotch behind it that looked like the night sky.

“This one’s name is Kenshin Himura, please call this one Kenshin.” He said with a happy smile.

“WE THANK THEE FOR SAVING OUR SUBJECTS AND OUR FRIENDS, THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY! WE ARE SO SORRY YOUNG COLT THAT YOU HAD TO BATTLE SUCH AN EVIL BEING IN COMBAT!” Luna said as she accidently used her royal canterlot voice, causing the young boy to cover his ears. Luna realized what she had just done and winced.

“Sorry, we- I am still stuck in the old ways of doing things young Kenshin.” She said with an apologetic look on her face.

“It is alright Luna. This one is stuck in the old ways as well.” He said with a gentle smile which caused the princess of the night to smile in return.

As both Princesses stood there, they stared at the young boy for a minute or two which made the boy shift awkwardly as they stared at him intently.

“Uh Princess… Are you okay?” Twilight asked only for the two princesses to squeal at the top of their lungs as they lunged at the man and pulled him into the tightest hug he had ever felt as they squashed him between both of their breasts. As he struggled to get free the two mares could only go on and on about how cute he was and how adorable he looked.

“I need an adult!” Kenshin said in desperation and nervousness as he managed to pull his head out of their breasts.

“I am an adult.” They both cooed lovingly which made Kenshin even more nervous and afraid.

After ten minutes of the Princesses hugging Kenshin, they managed to calm down and gain their composure.

“Ahem, sorry about that.” Celestia and Luna said with a blush crossing their face.

“It’s okay, no harm done.” He said with a smile as he tried to catch his breathe.

“Well anyway, we have called you here because of the incident in Ponyville with Udo Jin-E and the battle that took place. Not to mention that Discord is involved. Let us discuss this in the throne room and-”

“WHAT IS THIS DISGUSTING CREATURE AND WHY ARE THERE PEASANTS IN THE CASTLE AUNTY!?” An extremely annoying voice interrupted the princess of the sun. The voice was so annoying that Kenshin felt as if his ears were being assaulted by the sounds of cats gargling a bunch of razor blades… With their balls being crushed in a vice.

Kenshin turned to see a white stallion with a blonde mane that appeared to be overly kept and he had overly extravagant clothing.

“Blueblood, how dare you speak to our honored guests that way!” Celestia said with anger in her voice.

“I only see peasants and an ugly hairless monkey in my presence. What are they doing here?” Blueblood demanded.

“These ‘peasants’ as you call them, are the Elements of Harmony and have saved Equestria time and time again. As for the ‘hairless monkey’ as you so put it, is the human samurai known as Kenshin Himura who saved the Elements of Harmony and Ponyville. I suggest you show them respect nephew or face the consequences.” Celestia threatened to which he scoffed at her, as for Kenshin he could only wonder what the Elements of Harmony were. Blueblood turned his attention to the swordsman and eyed him up and down with a glare.

“Well at least my property has arrived. Your fighting style now belongs to me and me alone samurai. You will work for me from now and do my bidding.” The arrogant prince said which caused everypony to gasp at how disrespectful he was being to their human friend. Kenshin didn’t take to kindly to the prince’s words.

“You brute! How dare you refer to Kenshin that way! He is not an object so do not refer to him as such!” Rarity shouted at the arrogant prince causing him to fume once he saw her.

“YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU BE IN MY PRESENCE LET ALONE EVEN THINK YOU CAN SPEAK TO ME AFTER WHAT YOU DID AT THE GALA!!!” Blueblood screamed.

“ME! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO USED ME AS A SHIELD TO STOP A FLYING CAKE FROM HITTING YOU JUST SO YOU WOULDN’T GET YOUR MANE DIRTY!” Rarity retorted as the Princesses were about to intervene only for the prince to raise his fist in preparation to strike Rarity. This caused the mare to clench her eyes shut in fear.

*CRACK!!!*

The sound of the punch echoed throughout the palace halls as everypony stared wide eyed at what just happened.

Rarity slowly opened her eyes wondering why she was not in pain only to see Kenshin standing in front of her with Blueblood’s fist still in the boy’s face. Everything was silent as the boy broke the silence.

“You call yourself a prince yet you try to strike a woman. I’ve seen your type before; you think you can get everything that you want just because of your position, yet you bitch and moan when you don’t get what you want. You disgust me.” Kenshin said with a deadly glare that made Blueblood back away in fear as he stared at the boy who was now sporting a black eye.

“H-How dare-”

“SHUT UP!!!!!!” Kenshin screamed at the prince so loud that it made the royal Canterlot voice sound like a whisper thanks to his furry. The girls were shocked at Kenshin’s anger.

“I don’t know who you are and I don’t care to be honest. But if you ever try to harm miss Rarity of any of my friends again, there will be no place for you to hide from me. Do I make myself clear, Prince Blueblood. Oh and one more thing before I forget, I will never work for you and you will never get my fighting style.” Kenshin said with deadly seriousness in his voice. Everypony was shocked at how Kenshin was standing up to the pompous prince. Blueblood was shocked at what had just happen as he stood there slacked jaw. But after a few seconds his face grew red with pure rage.

“HOW DARE YOU! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS PEASANT! I WILL-”

“SILENCE!!!” Celestia shouted in her royal canterlot voice which caused Blueblood to quickly to shut his mouth in fear. As everyone in the palace hall were now completely quiet, Celestia spoke.

“You will do nothing to this human or the Elements of Harmony, nephew!” Celestia said with anger in her voice.

“What! But I have done nothing wrong!” Blueblood whined as Celestia was about to speak again only for Rarity to cut her off before she could even speak.

“Nothing! You struck a wounded child and gave him a black eye!” The unicorn mare shouted which made both Celestia and Luna go wide eyed at what they had just heard.

“Wounded? What does thou mean by wounded fare Rarity?” Luna asked with great concern.

“When that awful pony started firing arrows at us, they fired one directly at Pinkie Pie’s heart. But Kenshin valiantly jumped in front of the arrow just in the nick of time to protect her as it ripped through his left shoulder.” Rarity said dramatically which caused the two princesses to gasp at what they had just heard. At hearing this Celestia and Luna immediately ran up to the samurai boy.

“Kenshin please remove your shirt.” Celestia said in a very gentle voice to the young boy to which he hesitated at first before he removed his shirt. As he did he heard a loud gasp coming from Luna and the palace guards as Shining Armor began to tell them what Kenshin told them about how he got most of his scars in war. Celestia on the other hand looked at the samurai with pure sorrow, sorrow and familiarity as she knelt down and began to gently trace the scars of his body with her fingers until she eventually found the arrow wound which was still healing despite the doctor’s attempts.

What caught Kenshin’s attention the most was that she had a look of familiarity as she gazed at his scars. Almost as if she had seen them before.

As she finished checking the scars on his boy she silently stood up and cupped his chin gently and gazed at the boy’s black eye. His right eye was beginning to swell from the punch that it had received.

“Even now, Kenshin still throws his own safety and well being to the wind in order to protect those that can’t protect themselves. It’s been over a thousand years and he still hasn’t changed a bit… But why is he in the body of a child?” Celestia thought to herself as she looked at the swordsman as he began to put his kimono top back on.

“Blueblood, you have attempted to assault one of my subjects and in the process attacked an innocent child who just so happens to be the hero that saved the Elements of Harmony and my honored guest. Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Celestia commanded while glaring at the prince. Kenshin on the other hand couldn’t help but wonder what the princess of the sun meant by when she said ‘The Elements of Harmony’.

“B-But a-aunty, he was defending that mare even after what she did to me on the night of the gala!” Blueblood said pathetically as the princess of the sun eyes began to harden as she gave the pompous prince a death glare that made him cower in fear as his blood ran cold.

“If I recall you were behaving in a manner that was unbecoming of a prince and treated miss Rarity badly, you have no pony to blame but yourself for what happened at the gala that night. As for assaulting Mr. Himura you will be denied your allowance for the next two months, which will be given to Kenshin Himura as compensation for his injuries that you inflicted upon him.” Celestia said with authority.

“But Auuunty!” Blueblood whined.

“And you will not be allowed to leave the castle grounds for the next two months!” She added which caused the prince’s jaw to drop as he turned to Kenshin. He was about to scream an insult at the young swordsman only for him to give Blueblood a death glare so strong that it made him faint and collapse on the ground a loud thud.

“Oh how unfortunate, Prince Blueballs- I mean Blueblood has passed out from exhaustion. Maybe it is best for the guards to take him to his room to get some sleep.” Kenshin said with an innocent smile on his face as he looked up to the Princess as the six mares were giggling as the guards took the passed out Blueblood back to his room.

“I apologize for my behavior Princess.” The samurai said.

“It’s alright Kenshin, you did nothing wrong. In fact I commend you for your bravery.” The Princess of the sun said as Rarity quickly ran up to the boy and hugged him.

“Oh darling that was amazing! Thank your for standing up to that brute for me! You truly are my knight in shining armor!” Rarity squealed as she pressed the boy’s face into her breasts.

“Lucky…” Spike muttered to himself with a hint of jealousy as he saw the samurai get the mare of his dreams affection.

“Ahem. Luna, maybe it would be best for me to take Kenshin to the infirmary to get his wounds and eye checked while you all head to the dining room for some lunch and to relax.” Celestia said causing the everypony to nod in agreement.

As they all made their way to the dining room as she saw Pinkie Pie staying behind and staring intently at Kenshin with worry. Celestia walked up to Pinkie and whispered into her ear.

“Don’t worry Pinkie; I’m not going to take him from you.” She said as she winked at the mare who blushed.

“Y-You better not, Kenny’s mine.” Pinkie said with a massive blush on her face as she whispered those words.

“Indeed he is. He needs you girls, you most of all, my little pony.” Celestia said with a warm smile which caused Pinkie to tilt her head sideways in confusion.

“Kenshin has lived a very hard life of death and bloodshed. He has forgotten how to be happy. To have lived one day of his life would drive any pony to insanity with grief and sorrow and anguish.” She said to the pink party pony which caused her ears to splay back against her head in sympathy for the samurai.

“Well as the number one party planner in all of Ponyville and the element of laughter, I will make sure to make Kenshin happy no matter what! I Pinkie promise! Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Pinkie said while going through the movements with a giant smile as the princess ruffled her mane with her hand.

“Good because I want you to help Kenshin personally and help watch over him.” She said with a gentle smile.

“R-Really?” Pinkie said as her smile got bigger.

“Mmhm. I sense a deep connection between the two. I think you would make an excellent lead mare for Kenshin.” She said which caught Pinkie off guard as she blushed hard.

“W-W-What do you mean?” Pinkie stuttered.

“I sense your feelings for Kenshin, and even though he doesn’t know it yet, he has feelings for you. Though they are still young and must be nurtured before they can come to frutation.” Celestia said which caused the young mare to smile brightly.

“You really think that I would be a great lead mare?” She asked with a shy smile.

“I know you will Pinkie Pie. Now if you’ll excuse me, I must take our new friend to the infirmary.” She said with a gentle smile to which Pinkie just smiled back and saluted before she began to bounce off happily into the royal dining room. But all of a sudden she stopped in mid bounce and was floating in midair.

“Heeeeey, wait a minute! How do you know so much about my Kenny hmmm!?” Pinkie asked with great suspicion towards the princess of the sun.

“All will be explained in the dining room my little pony. But I will tell you this; a very long time ago…Kenshin saved my life. But that’s all I will say for now.” The princess said with a gentle smile.

“Okie Doki Loki!” Pinkie said with a giant grin and continued to bounce off to the dining room.

“I will never understand how she does that.” Celestia said to herself.

Celestia turned her attention to Kenshin who was off in his own little world as he viewed the paintings that lined the hall. Completely oblivious to the conversation that just took place. She walked up to him and gently grabbed his hand which made the samurai’s face flush pink.

“Come little one; let’s get those injuries taken care of.” She said as she led Kenshin to the castle infirmary.

*Fillydelphia*

Derpy had just finished a delivery that had brought her all the way to Fillydelphia. The trip was long but thankfully it was over and done with as she entered one of her favorite muffin shops that she would always visit whenever her mail mare duties brought her out to the city. There were three things that Derpy loved more than life itself. First was her foals Dinky and Sparkler whom she loved more than life itself and would do anything for them. Second was being a mail mare, and last but definitely not least was MUFFINS!

She told the baker her order to which she was told that her order would take a few mintues. The wall-eyed mare decided to sit down at one of the tables while she waited for her order. As she waited for her order she saw a strange looking stallion sitting at one of the tables that was across from her. He had no fur on but he had a brownish-black mane that was slicked back with only a few strands of hair dangling in front of his face, he wore navy blue uniform pants along with a navy blue uniform jacket that was open to reveal a tight fitting black T-shirt which showed of his well-toned muscles. As he ran one of his hands through his mane Derpy saw that he was wearing white uniform gloves.

But what caught Derpy by surprise the most was the fact that he had a sword sitting next to him at the table. He didn’t look like a guard but the sword seemed to fit his persona for some reason, like it was a part of his very being, part of his very soul. He sat there with a steaming hot cup of coffee which he drunk silently as he watched the TV that was set up in the shop. He was watching intently as the screen showed a news mare talking about the battle that took place in Ponyville as film footage played on the screen. The man simply looked at the screen with a stern look, his expression never changing for a second. Derpy could easily see that he had some burn marks on his body along with a few scorch marks.

“Are you okay?” She asked with worry in her voice causing the man to turn his attention to the gray Pegasus mare. His face still held the same stern yet emotionless look for a few seconds before it turned into a smile. Not a smile that was real but a smile that was meant to be polite.

“Yes I am, thank you for your concern ma’am.” he said still maintaining his polite yet somewhat creepy smile.

“I’m Derpy Whooves but you can call me Derpy, what’s your name?” She asked with a happy smile.

“Saito Hajime but you can call me Saito, pleasure to meet you Derpy.” He said as he shook her hand.

“You look like you got into a fight with a dragon.” Derpy said absent mindedly causing the man to flash a wolfish grin.

“You’d be surprised.” He said as he finished off his coffee.

“You’re carrying a neat sword. Are you a guard?” She asked with curiosity.

“No, but I was a police officer at one time or another.” He said as he looked into her eyes, he noticed that her eyes were going off into two different directions. He didn’t think any different of the mare. In fact he thought that it made her unique.

“Oh, do you catch and fight bad guys?” Derpy said as she began to throw punches in the air as she pretended to be fighting a criminal. Saito flashed an amused smirk at the mare’s childlike innocence ditzy nature.

“Sometimes, but I have my own personal method of handling big time offenders.” Saito said as he went back to showing no emotion.

“Miss, your order is ready.” A waitress said as she handed Derpy a bag filled full with steaming hot muffins.

“Thank you.” She said as she paid the waitress for her order.

“Well it was nice talking to you Mister Saito!” She said as she waved to the stoic man who managed to crack a somewhat less creepy smile as he waved a gloved hand to the departing mare.

“You too Derpy. Be safe.” He said as she walked out of the shop.

As Derpy walked out of the shop she walked down the streets for a few minutes. As she continued to walk down the street she couldn’t help herself as she could smell the scent from the bag of muffins. As she drooled over the tasty treats she opened the bag and pulled out a muffin. As she brought the tasty treat to her lips, she was quickly pulled into a dark alleyway and slammed her against the alleyway wall.

“Scream and you’re dead!” A gruff and low voice ordered harshly as a knife was held to the mailmare’s throat.

Derpy was terrified as the unicorn stallion that held the razor sharp blade just inches from her throat smiled sinisterly as four other stallions came out of the shadows laughing evilly to themselves.

“P-P-Please don’t hurt me, I have foals.” Derpy pleaded as the stallions surrounded her with.

“Give us your money, NOW!” The unicorn barked to the now terrified mare.

“I-I-I don’t h-have any m-money. I-I used the last of it on this.” She said while trembling as she held up the bag of muffins only for her attacker to knock it out of her hand in anger and crush it under his hoof.

“You bitch, you think you can hold out on me!” He screamed at the terrified mare that was now beginning to tear up as she searched her pockets in desperation only to find nothing.

“I have n-nothing, p-please just let me go! I wanna go home! I wanna go home!” She sobbed as she began to panic.

“Well I’m not leaving here empty handed, bitch.” He said as he began to undo the belt to her jeans as the others held her down while one of the stallions stood on look out. As the mare began to sob even harder she heard the stallion that was standing as a lookout scream as he was sent flying into the brick wall with a loud sickening crack. As his lifeless body fell to the ground, the unicorn stallion turned to see something that filled him with pure terror right before a gloved fist smashed into his face.

*CRACK!!!*

“AAAHHH, FUCK!!!” He screamed as he grabbed his broken muzzle and rolled on the ground in pain.

“S-Saito.” Derpy said in surprise.

As one of the stallions fired a bolt of magic at the human, Saito quickly grabbed one of the other stallions and used him as a meat shield as the bolt of magic pierced his heart. Saito threw the mugger’s corpse to the ground. The unicorn kept firing blasts of magic at the man who simply dodged them. As Saito closed the distance he delivered an uppercut to the stallion’s jaw, knocking him out. Before he could even hit the ground, the samurai grabbed the unconscious stallion’s hoof and flung him straight into the Pegasus stallion that was flying at him, knocking the Pegasus out as well.

“DON’T MOVE OR I’LL KILL HER!!!” The unicorn with the bloody muzzle screamed as the man turned his attention to the unicorn who now held Derpy hostage with a knife to her throat and his horn charged for an attack.

“You get one chance. Let her go NOW!” Saito ordered with rage as he walked towards the stallion.

“I SAID GET BACK!!!” The unicorn screamed.

“You had your chance.” Saito said as he closed the distance between the two of them at such a high speed that to Saito it appeared as if time had stopped. Saito grabbed the knife from the stallion’s hand and smashed his fist into his already bloodied face sending him straight into a brick wall.

Derpy couldn’t believe what she just saw. But what she saw next terrified her. Saito slowly drew his sword as he walked towards the downed stallion who tried to run only to find that he was stuck in a dead end. As he stood in front of the unicorn stallion, he readied his katana to kill the criminal that stood in front of him. But before he could strike, something stopped him.

“Saito stop!” She shouted with tears in her eyes.

“You saw what he was going to do to you, yet you want to let him go?” He asked with no emotion in his voice at all.

“P-Please Saito… I just wanna go home.” She pleaded with tears in her eyes. Saito looked at her for a few seconds before he finally let out a sigh.

“Fine.” He said as he sheathed his sword.

“Thank you. I-I’ll go get a guard.” She said with a smile as she took off to find a guard. Now that she was gone Saito turned his attention towards the unicorn stallion and glared at him.

“Now that she’s gone, I’m going to teach you a lesson.” Saito said.

“W-What are you going to do to me?” The stallion asked with terror.

“I’m going to do what your parents should have done; I’m going to give you the ass whoopin’ of a life time.” Saito said as he pulled off his belt and began to beat the ever loving shit out of him with it. The stallion screamed and wailed in pain as he was being beaten mercilessly by belt, punches, and kicks. His pleads for mercy fell on deaf ears.

“You ever pull this shit again; I’ll kill you.” Saito said as he stopped beating the stallion and began to walk away.

“You freakin’ psychopath, I hate to imagine how you raise your kids. They must be fucked up in the head!” The stallion said through the pain mockingly. Saito stopped in mid step and stood stock still for ten seconds before turning around and saying.

“Aw hell no.”

Saito was pissed off as he attacked the stallion again; he had always prided himself on being a good father and husband. He would never ever raise a hand towards his wife or kids. Sure he was strict at times with his kids. But he would never abuse them. To have someone question how he raised his kids and insult them pissed him off royally.

A few minutes later Derpy arrived with a few royal guards. As they arrived they all found Saito leaning against a wall while he smoked a cigarette.

“What in Tartarus happened here!” The royal guard shrieked.

“These guys tried to rape this young mare.” He said causing Derpy to blush deeply at being called young.

“I-It’s true, but Mr. Saito stopped them!” Derpy stated as the guards took the three remaining stallions into custody while they took the two dead ones to the morgue.

“Dear Celestia! Did you have to kill them!?” A guard’s mare asked.

“They were about to rape and kill an innocent mare. I did what I had to protect her. Besides, I only killed two of them.” He stated with a cold tone.

“Mr. Saito used to be a police officer!” Derpy said as she started to get back to her cheerful self.

“You were law enforcement? But you look like you’re barely old enough to be an adult!” The guard stated in shock.

“Thank you.” Saito replied.

As they guards finished up their report they said that Derpy would be given an escort home to ensure her safety. But before she left she walked over to the crushed bag of muffins. As she picked up the remains of her treats she began to sniffle.

“Here, you can have mine.” A voice said behind her causing her to turn around. What she saw surprised her. Saito was standing in front of her and handing a bag filled to the brim with freshly baked muffins. She teared up at this kind gesture. Not only did he save her but he was also giving her muffins.

“He is such a good person… He must be a super hero!” Derpy thought to herself as she quickly hugged the man in front of her.

“Thank you Saito. Not many ponies would have done what you done… A lot of ponies treat me differently because of my eyes.” She said with a sad look on her face.

“Then they are idiots for judging you because of something that you can’t control. Besides I think that they make you unique.” The man said causing the mail mare to blush.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

At that moment one of the guards that was supposed to escort her home came up to her and told her that it was time for them to take her home.

“’W-Well um… See ya Saito, thank you for saving me.” Derpy said as her face turned a deep shade of pink.

“You’re welcome, see you later Derpy.” Saito said as he turned and walked off.

As Derpy flew home, she couldn’t help but think about the man that had saved her life.

*Castle Infirmary*

As Celestia led Kenshin into the castle infirmary Kenshin couldn’t help but notice that the room was completely empty, they were completely alone. As they approached the examining table Celestia tried to lift him up onto the table with her magic only for it not to work. She tried it a few more times only to have the same results as before.

“Hm, that’s strange.” She said to herself as she lifted Kenshin up under the arms with her hands and set him on the table.

“T-Thank you.” He said politely.

“You’re quite welcome.” The princess said happily.

“Now I need you to remove your shirt and lie down so I can heal you.” She said to which he did. He set his sword down right next to him with his fingers brushing the scabbard as he lay on the table.

“Still don’t trust me?” Celestia giggled as her magic began to flow into her horn and hands and into Kenshin’s chest wounds.

“This one is just being cautious Princess.”

“Please, call me Celestia and I understand your caution. I wasn’t being perfectly honest with you when it came to that letter and for that I am truly sorry.” She said as she stitched up one of the wounds that was caused by Jin-E with her magic.

“To be honest I thought that you would be older.” Celestia said giggling.

“I-I am. I just woke up in the body of a child this morning, that I did. This one does not know why though.” Kenshin said with a blush of embarrassment that crossed his face.

“That is truly perplexing.” She said as she continued healing him.

Kenshin laid there in silence for five minutes as the Princess of the Sun continued to heal him. He could feel his body getting stronger and feeling much better. At this point she move her hands to his left shoulder. As her hands were surrounded by a golden aura she held them over the samurai’s injured shoulder.

“This brings back memories.” Celestia said with a nostalgic smile spreading across her lips.

“What do you mean Celestia?” He asked.

“Over a thousand years ago, I wound up in your world. To this day I do not know how or why it happened.” She said much to Kenshin’s surprise.

“Over a thousand years! How old is she!” Kenshin thought.

“Before you ask, I am over three thousand years old.” She said which caused the young samurai to go wide eyed.

“But anyway, as I was saying.” She said as she finished healing Kenshin’s shoulder completely. She then moved on to his black eye that was now swollen.

“At the time my sister and I were checking out a huge magic fluctuation that had occurred in the mountains near the border of the Gryphon Empire. There we found a strange portal to which we had no idea where it came from or where it led. But as I approached it, I was sucked into the portal by a powerful force.” She said as she continued to heal Kenshin’s eye. Kenshin was silent, waiting for her to continue.

“Luna tried to pull me to safety but unfortunately it was for not. The pull of the force was to strong and sent me hurdling into a world that I never knew existed, a world filled with strange creatures that I had never seen before…Humans. When I passed through the portal it had a strange effect on my magic, causing me to actually turn into a young human child myself.” She said as she paused for a few seconds.

“Unfortunately the moment I went through the portal it sealed behind me... To make matters worse, since I was turned into a human I could not fly. When I came out the other side of the portal I fell head first from twenty feet and hit my head on a rock.” She said with a sigh.

“When I hit my head against the rock, I lost all of my memories of who I really was. By all means I should have been dead from the impact. But I was lucky, very lucky. Luckily I was found by a kind family of doctors who took me in and nursed me back to health and raised me as their own. Needless to say they were very surprised when they found a naked seven year old girl wandering around in the woods with a bad head wound.” She said with a giggle at the end.

“How did you find your way back to this world?” Kenshin asked completely entranced by her story.

“I eventually regained my memories many years later, and when I did I also regained my magic as well. I was able to open to reopen the portal and make my way back, but by doing so the portal closed behind me forever.” She answered.

“I’m really sorry that you went through all that, that I am.” Kenshin said with sympathy.

“It’s alright; I had a lot of good times as well, believe it or not. I became a very skilled doctor. Unfortunately an up and coming drug dealer forced me to make drugs for him against my will. But luckily a young brave samurai stormed the drug lord’s mansion with his friends. He even fought off a clan of deadly ninja and defeated them just to save me.” She said while smiling at Kenshin. Kenshin couldn’t help but feel that this story was very familiar.

“Who was the samurai?” He asked curiously

“You.” She said.

Immediately memories came flooding back to Kenshin’s mind. His eyes widened in disbelief.

“I-It couldn’t be!” He thought to himself.

“Even to this day, I still have to heal your wounds, Kenshin” She said giggling as she finished healing his body.

“M-Miss Megumi?” Kenshin said in a pure state of shock.

“It’s good to see you again after all these years Kenshin.” She said as she pulled the human into the tightest hug he had ever felt.

Author's Note

Pinkie Pie will be the lead mare in Kenshin's herd because Pinkie Pie is best pony. Also, that ending, bet you didn't expect that, Celestia being Megumi. Also, the reason why Celestia has no problem with Pinkie getting Kenshin first is because she wants him to be happy, also she’s fine as long they share and she gets a piece of Kenshin in the end.

Also as a heads up I will be taking a 1 – 2 week break. I am sorry that this chapter took so long to come out but some things came up that kept me busy. But those things are taken care of now. Another reason why it has been taking so long is because if you’ve noticed my chapters have been getting longer, much longer (Which is good in my opinion).

Also, when I come back from my break I will be working on the next chapter of Seeing is Believing. so the next Chapter for A Swordsman’s Path to Redemption might be delayed a little bit, but not by much. But this will give me and Xinrick(He will be hosting the Q/A with me) a chance to work on the Q/A once I come back from my break.

Also, another shout out to Xinrick who helped me yet again with this story. Also, a shout out to Darth Arcaneus as well who has given me some very good ideas for this story that I will being using in the very near future.

Another thing (last one I promise), I am currently on a mission with Jeff, Toby, E. Jack, and Masky. This made me think. Should I make blog bosts about what the missions are and what happens in the Creepypasta world. It would be tied in with Seeing is Believing.

As of right now me and the others are currently in the most dangerous, evil, and demented place on earth.

The It's a Small World After All ride. (…Don’t ask.)

Uh… Axel.

Oh hey Toby, what’s wrong?

Don’t look now but here comes the evil over lord of darkness.

Who?

Mickey Mouse.

*Draws a katana* Well everyone, me and the others have to go take care of a mouse problem. Oh and don’t worry, I know how to handle myself.

These guys trained me.
