Chapter 1
The Kenshin-gumi walked down the dirt road from the long journey from Kyoto they were all glad to finally be back in Tokyo. As night was about to fall they encountered a small, slender cloaked figure protecting a mother and her two children from a group of thieves. Kenshin was about to run and help but Kaoru held him back.
" Kenshin you can't go your still hurt from Kyoto" she said worriedly looking at his bandaged arm. "Besides, I think it's under control" Kaoru assured turning her attention back to the road.
Kenshin turned his head to see the figure maneuvering through the thieves incapacitating them with ease. He examined closely and saw the cloak had fallen away to reveal a girl with emerald green eyes and chocolate brown hair. Just as the group ran over to see if the mother and children were not hurt she quickly disappeared. The Kenshin-gumi were amazed at her skill seeing it looked to almost match that of Kenshins.

A few days after the incident Kenshin,Yahiko and Sanouske were walking back from the market when they saw the same young women protecting a small child from a burly man.
"Give her back to me, you wench!" he slurred advancing on the two, fists clenched.
"Run" the green eyed girl ordered the child as she dodged a fist to the head. Said child ran toward Sanouske.
"Please you have to help her!" she pleaded tears streaming down her face.
"Don't worry we're on it, now run back to your home" Sanouske assured as he ran towards the fight "Oi! Pick on someone your own size!" he yelled as he landed a punch to the face momentarily stunning the attacker. Kenshin quickly came from behind and struck him causing the man to crumple to the ground.
"Hey Kenshin you alright?" Sanouske questioned when he saw his friend holding his arm in pain.
"Yeah, just forgot it's not healed yet" he said still holding his arm.
" You are such a disgraceful pig you ugly man" Yahiko gloated stepping away from the sidelines. He didn't notice the man pull out a hidden dagger. He was about to strike when the green eyed girl ran in front of Yahiko taking a blow to the abdomen.
" STAY DOWN!" Sanouske yelled delivering a nose crunching punch that was a clear knock out. Kenshin and Sanouske rushed to Yahiko who was holding the wounded girl.
"You're going to be alright, may sessha know your name?" Kenshin asked trying to stop the bleeding.
" …M-mori Katsumi…" she was able to utter before her consciousness left her.
