Kaoru stood from behind the balcony of the dojo. The palm of her hand reaching toward her forehead as she slightly searched for the red-haired samurai. "Kenshin! Come inside. It's going to rain soon," she screamed from across the dojo.
"Hai Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin quickly grabbed the clothes on the laundry line and piled them into the laundry basket, as he sensed a presence nearby. Running inside his room, he dropped the clothes on the floor and opened the front door. There stood a girl. She wore a blue gi and hakama, her red-hair tied back with long bangs falling in front similar to Kaoru's hair. But her eyes were violet just the way he was. Kenshin eyes narrowed as he caught the glimpse in her right hand, taking notice that she was holding a sword.
"Konnichiwa," the girl said looking at Kenshin. "Konnichiwa," Kenshin greeted and bowed, "What can I do for you, ma'am?" Kaoru came over behind trying to ease her into the conversation next to Kenshin.
"Konnichiwa," Kaoru said to the girl. "Is there anything you need or we can do for you?"
The girl just nodded, "Thank you for your politeness Miss. I'm wondering if this is the Kamiya Dojo?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" Kaoru responded as she looked up at the sky; it was darkening and clouds began to cover the bright sun. The rain was falling faster as they talked.
"Please come inside and we'll talk," Kaoru told the young girl. The girl walked inside the dojo and was led by Kaoru into the living room. As the girl kneeled down, Kenshin watched her, watching her every move before sitting down as well.
She is very casual.
"Sumimasen, watashi wa Himura Suyumi," The girl introduced herself. Kaoru and Kenshin looked at each other, eyes both questioning, holding confused gazes.
"Himura…"
"Hai, so do you mind telling both your names, if I may be so forward?"
"Kamiya Kaoru" Kaoru said studying the girl casually.
"That's a beautiful name," Suyumi commented with a small smile. Kaoru smiled for a moment. Suyumi gaze averted to Kenshin. "And you?"
"Himura Kenshin," Kenshin replied stoically. Suyumi looked at Kenshin and smiled. "If you're Kenshin, I assume you must know Hiko Seijuurou"
"Why do you ask of him? He is rarely a pottery in the mountain but not in the name of Hiko Seijuurou."
"Oh, it's nothing really."
Suyumi closed her eyes and spaced out as Kaoru continued to ask simpler question. Maybe, this is him. Maybe he is that person that I am looking for. She didn't answer Kaoru nor did she apologize. All she was there was just to find one truth. Let's hope this person here is Himura Shinta.
Tenshi: I apologized for taking half of this story out that I've written. It seems to not make any sense to me. I've re-edit this part of the story. I will be continuing after reviews are given. Thanks.
