this is my first fanfiction it is rated about mildly PG-13.
and so here is my story. Sherlock belongs to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
and Kenshin and crew belong to Nobuhiro Watsuki.

Intro
It had poured down rain in London for two days straight and looked like it was not going to let up.
Watson stepped out of the buggy, quickly paying the diver and ran as fast as he could because his broken umbrella was half open offering little shelter from the rain.
With in seconds he was under the eaves of the infamous building on 221b Baker St. to see the man who had made it so well known.

He rang the doorbell, shuffled his feet while waiting. Miss Hudson squinted though the peephole and sighed musically in relive to see Watson.

"Oh thank God you're here Doctor."
"What seems to be the matter?"
"Ughh a courier arrived with an a official looking envelope / with some strange lettering Chinese, Japanese or something of that sort. Anyway he's been in a dither ever since."
Miss Hudson opened the door then toke the broken umbrella expertly form his slightly wet hands. Then she led him up the stairs and rapped briskly on the door.
"WHAT NOW!!!" Holmes thundered form inside his flat.
"Watson’s 'ere! Better open up!" hollered Miss Hudson in shrill voice, her cockney accent emerging out of her frustration.
The door swung wildly open revealing a glowering, disheveled Sherlock Holmes.
"Get in and looked it behind you."
Watson raise an eyebrow, tip his hat to Miss Hudson and stepped unawares into one to one of the greatest adventures of his life.

Chap.2

Holmes study was never usually tidy until Miss Hudson meddled her way into the room and cleaned it. But this was chaos.
Books were strewn about form corner to corner. Regardless how hard he tried he could not avoid stepping on a text or two.
"Holmes what going on here?"
Holmes said nothing but flittered like a moth form volume to volume.
"If you don't mind my asking what are you up to?"
"Watson do you know of the island nation of Japan?"
"Well I've heard of it, although I don't know very much about it." Watson answered truthfully.
"Well the British Embassy station there has been threatened on numerous occasions. It has been suggested that one of the main culprits are members of the Satsuma clan, who murdered a British merchant, then the British fleet bombards Kagoshima in retaliation in the year 1863."
"I was stationed in Afghanistan then."
Watson softly replied, with memories awash in his mind.
"They have a man investigating the case.
His name is Saito Hajime but the British Government would prefer if a British detective did examine the case as well."

Holmes sauntered over to the messy desk and thumbed though some papers and produced documents and put them on the coffee table.
"Here are the travel plans to Japan, first we'll take the or..."
"What just a moment Holmes! Are you suggesting that I' am going to be dragged along on this trip?"
"Why not? Your the only one who can stand going far away form the comforts of home."
"As long as it's in Europe...but this is so far..."
"Why not "Blaze a new trail" as the American saying goes."
Watson did not say anything. Carefully, weighing out the cost of his decision.
"...Alright I'll come with you."
"I thought you would." Holmes said with indifference but Watson knew that he was glad that he was coming with him.

One mouth later...

Watson was very irritable near the end of the trip. He did fine on the train to India, but the steamship is were he had some difficulty Watson had some sea sickness for three weeks and still felt a little dizzy form time to time. Watson sat on the benches provided for the passengers.
He heard a loud dog bark and rolled his eyes. Toby the bloodhound who Holmes insisted they would take along frequently had got in the galley much to the cook’s dismay.
As he sat there he wondered when he could ever get back on land


well thats all for now folks please Post :grin:

I'll be honest. I felt really bad that no one has responded to this thread, and it's sinking to the bottom of the writing section without one comment.

I finally read this and thought, you know the writing isn't so bad, but the spelling is atrocious. I think there was a misspelled word on every line. That makes it very hard to read.

Now, although it has poor spelling, I can see that you are trying very hard and it's a very good bit of writing. Are you a reader? Do you read Sherlock Holmes? I'm mainly curious.

It might be helpful to use the Word program and do a spell check while you're writing. It would help a bunch. I always take advantage of any tool available, so I don't have to self-edit. ^___^

But I thought that hey they are in the 18th century so why not? they are awsome characters.(Kenshin and Sherlock). Please people post O.K.

Thanks for correcting your spelling. I think it's a great idea to get Sherlock Holmes and Kenshin together. What a smart idea. ^___^ Anyways, good stuff.

Sorry if I was harsh on the spelling, but it does help us readers out when we don't have to decipher every other word. Now, I have another piece of advice, would you please seperate the paragraphs, so that they're not all clumped together. I mean write a paragraph, space, next paragraph. It's just makes for easier reading. Thanks. ^_~

Chap.6

Tsubame found the Embassy very quickly with Holmes and Watson bringing up the rear.
The good Doctor was becoming weary from being in unusual territory, and hoped that the Embassy might be a little piece of England in this exotic land.
Watson’s wish was granted.
As the threesome came in through a door no larger than that of 10 Downing Street, they forgot for a moment that they were in Japan.
There were Persian rugs on the floor; portraits of royalty on the wall, and all were dressed in proper English business attire.
Tsubame took off her sandals and began looking around for a place to put them. Holmes asked her why, and as she gave her reply, Watson surprised himself as he picked out something about dirty shoes.
Holmes assured her that it was quite all right.
Then the warm hands of Ambassador Sir Theodore greeted them all.
Ohaio gozaimasu! He welcomed them first in Japanese (which was a simple ‘Good Morning’), then in English, “Hello and welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun.â€
