Anything you recognise isn't mine. Also, this chapter only takes the anime adaptation of AgK into account, as I haven't read the manga yet.
"Damn, this weather is really fucking rough!" Kenji muttered, as he trekked through the desert he was walking through. He was wearing wrap-around sunglasses, which had a spell on them to look opaque from the outside, but when he looked through them, it looked like he was wearing regular sunglasses.
Anyway, he had his sword strapped to his hip, and his twin pistols in a holster that he had made himself. It was similar to the one that Revy wore when she used her guns.
As he continued to walk, he heard a faint noise in the distance. It sounded like a sword slashing, and meeting another sword. Kenji knew the noise so well because of his training with Tobio, and the countless times he had to stand his ground against a sword-wielding opponent.
Picking up the pace and walking towards where the sound was coming from, he saw seven burly-looking bandit-like people, fighting against a figure that Kenji couldn't quite see, they were moving around so fast. Kenji had to admit. Guy or girl who was fighting, they were certainly fast, and very, very good with a sword. The person had taken out one of the seven bandits already, and was coming very close to taking out the second.
Scratch that, they had.
Kenji mentally teetered on the verge of getting involved and helping the unknown person, but eventually decided against it. He didn't want to look like he was a threat and risk having a fight.
Ten seconds later, the third bandit fell. Another fifteen, and the fourth one was gone.
'Fuck, this person really is good!' Kenji thought. 'They must have gone through some serious training. Or have a Sacred Gear. Or both.'
The unknown person clashed with the seventh and final bandit, but the bandit seemed to throw a punch at the person. It actually connected, and the person, who stopped long enough for Kenji to see that they had long black hair, jumped back, visibly winded. They managed to dispatch the final bandit after one slash of their sword.
When the final bandit fell to the ground, dead, Kenji slowly walked towards the person, but Kenji saw that they had collapsed.
'Fuck...' Kenji muttered. 'That punch must have winded them more than they let on.' He ran towards the person, who lay unconscious on the ground, and Kenji got a real look at them for the first time.
She was a young girl, with long black hair that reached down to her knees. She wore a dark, sleeveless mini dress with a white collar and red tie; she wore a red belt that had a red side skirt cover. She wore it with long black socks and black shoes. She wore a long, dark coat and a hood, which was down, and was carrying a katana, which was shorter (though not by much) and thinner (again, not by much) than Kenji's sword. Kenji noticed that she had faded red scars all over her body.
He also saw that she was still breathing, which was a good thing.
'Should I bring her with me?' Kenji asked himself. 'I don't want to kidnap her, but I'll just be leaving her to die here if I don't!' Deciding to take her with him, he picked the girl up, reattached the sword to her waist, and magic-circled out of the desert.
Line Break
Kenji came out of the magic-circle, the unconscious girl in his arms. Walking into the mansion, he saw Roberta watching TV. She looked up when she saw him coming in, and stood up.
"Master K-"
"I guess you didn't get the memo, Roberta." Kenji cut her off. "I don't like being called master. So please, knock it off."
