I hope you like this fanfiction. It'll get sad a little later on, and a lot of things will be explained in the following chapters, but if you don't understand something, feel free to ask, and I didn't watch Rurouni Kenshin after the 2nd season, so if you need to correct me on something, go right ahead, but please don't send flames, I'll happily accept critizism, but no need to be mean about it.

It's was bright that morning. The sun was shining, but the wind was blowing sending chills down the spines of those that hadn't dressed appropriately for the day. Even though it was finally spring, it was chilly that day.

A girl with dark navy blue hair stood in front of a grave. She laid 5 red roses in front of the tombstone and said a small prayer. Then she began to talk, her voice was melodic compared to the whistling winds.

"How are you ni-sama? I missed you. I'm so happy I was able to give you a proper burial. Oh how I wish you were still with me. I miss you terribly." She looked up at the sky with sad eyes. She looked back at the tombstone and smiled a beautiful smile. "But I still smile, for you, and always for you. I'll get revenge for you, and then, I'll make sure that soon, people know that what you truly did for this era. You'll get the recognition that you deserve."

She pulled out a small flute, it was extremely hard to play, and took hours of practicing to play. She gently placed the mouth piece to her lips, and blew. Her fingers moved in a rhythm, and a gently melody spewed out from the end. The music was so beautiful, passer byers were staring at her as she played. One particular person, a certain spiky brown haired gentleman was staring in awe at her as she played.

In a few minutes, she got up and put the flute away. "I'll come again soon ni-sama. Until then, Ja ne." She smiled, and then walked away.

The man with spiky hair ran toward his friend's house, daydreaming about who this girl could be.

"SANOSUKE YOU LAZY BUM! YOU COULD AT LEAST HELP OUT WITH THE CHORES YOU KNOW!" a girl with dark blue hair in a yellow kimono stepped out onto the porch to yell at the fellow that had just walked in. She had a duster in one hand, and was pointing an accusing finger at the spiky brown haired man we know as Sanosuke.

"Kaoru, give it a break. Sanosuke will help out with the chores when the world ends." A boy with spiky black hair zoomed by on the ground. A rag in his hand, and running back and forth, he wiped down the floor. His yellow kimono top hanging off of him, and a green kimono bottom on, with his butt stuck straight in the air.

"Yahiko, since when did you help out Sanosuke?" Kaoru, the girl with the duster said.

"How are you Sano? What brings you here today?" A man with long bright red hair tied at the nape of his neck came out. He had on a red kimono top, and a white bottom, with brown socks. He turned to Kaoru, "The laundry is done Kaoru-dono."

"Kenshin, how 'bout you and me got to Akobeko?" Sanosuke invited the red head.

"Why not? How about we all go. It would be a nice break from this spring cleaning." Kenshin and the rest were just about to go out the door when a dark green haired woman with two little girls came in through the door.

"Teh, what are you doing here Megumi?" Sanosuke, wanting to annoy the pretty lady doctor asked.

"What are YOU going here? I'm here to drop off Ayame and Sasume and pay a visit to Ken-san?" The dark green lady answered running up to Kenshin and grabbing him around the neck. Kaoru stared in shock at them. Kenshin went wide-eyed.

Yahiko impatiently asked, "Are we going yet?" Everybody knew why he was so excited to go. A little girl with brown hair reaching half-way down her neck worked there, and a little Yahiko had a crush on little Tsubame.

Soon, everybody walked over to Akobeko, a beef-stew restaurant in town. Ayame and Sasume each had one of Kenshin's hands, and were skipping off into town. Kaoru and Megumi walked behind Kenshin glaring daggers at each other, well, Kaoru was, and Megumi was daydreaming about a certain brunette walking behind her. Sanosuke came at the end, walking with his hands in his pocket thinking about the girl from that morning.

"Welcome to Akobeko. I've got a table for you Kenshin." A woman with brown hair pulled back into a bun, her bangs hanging off of her forehead greeted them.

"Hello, nice to see you again Tae-dono" Kenshin and the group followed Tae into a small room and they all sat down around the center piece that was used to heat up the stew. Tae sat down with them, and they had a light conversation.

A girl with her dark navy blue hair pulled back into a ponytail, and the Akobeko uniform on, came in with a tray of 6 glasses of water. Sanosuke stared at her. There she was, the girl that was playing the flute that morning. She set down a glass of water down in front of everybody.

"Hi Migoto, I didn't know you came in." Tae addressed the dark haired girl.

"I just came in a couple of minutes ago." She walked away with the empty tray in her hands.

Sanosuke was still staring at where she walked away. Everybody noticed where was staring, and grinned widely. "Who is she?" Sanosuke wanted to know everything about this girl.

"Oh, her. Her name is Migoto. Nobody here knows her last name. She started working here a few days ago. Everybody loves having her here. She's so nice and polite. And pretty too. Some customers like being served by her only, and a few come everyday just to see her. She attracts quite a few people, especially men. She doesn't say much about her personal life, other than the fact that she had lost her brother, whom she was extremely close to." Tae looked out to see Migoto come back with a tray full of 6 bowls of rice in one hand, and a huge bowl of beef stew in her other hand.

She set down the stew, and distributed the bowls of rice.

"Migoto, sit down. I would like to introduce my friends to you." Tae patted a seat next to her. Migoto kneeled down and sat on her legs. She smiled at them.

"My name is Migoto, and it is nice to meet you."

"Do you have a last name Migoto-dono?" Kenshin felt like he knew her.

"I prefer not to tell people my last name. It makes life for me easier." She smiled at them, a hint of sorrow seen in her eyes.

"Well, my name is Himura Kenshin, and it is nice to meet you." Kenshin introduced himself. Everybody went around and introduced themselves, then it reached Sanosuke.

He smiled at her, and felt his heart skip a beat when she smiled back at him. "I'm Sanosuke Sagara." At that, she eyes grew wide.

"I'm sorry, but I must go tend to the other tables. Excuse me." Migoto quickly walked out of the room. Everybody stared at her retreating figure. They didn't understand why she took off so quickly after Sanosuke introduced himself, but didn't dwell on that too much.

A couple of hours later, the Akobeko was closing. The gang had stayed until closing time talking with Tae and just having fun. All of the employees started to walk away. Migoto walked out the door with a black kimono on. It had a grey obi that wrapped around her waist. She took a deep breath of air. She loved the night time. It was quiet, and peaceful. Everybody was gone, except her and the gang. They saw her start to walk away, when Sanosuke grabbed her arm.

"What did I do wrong?" Sanosuke didn't really like having people mad at him. Especially not gorgeous girls with a pretty face.

To everybody's surprise, she grabbed Sanosuke's arm, and threw him onto the ground. Then started to kick him hard on his side screaming.

"HOW DARE YOU TAKE HIS NAME! A STREET FIGHTER DRUNKEE HAS NO RIGHT TO TAKE IT! WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO, SLING MORE MUD ONTO HIS NAME! HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A THING! WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TAKE HIS NAME!" She gave a final kick and run away with tears in her eyes. Then, it started to rain.
