DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Rurouni Kenshin characters. I wish I did but I'm just borrowing them for this story. So please enjoy.

NOTE: There is a television show called "Dark Angel" starring 'Jessica Alba'. Watch the show first so that you can get a better understanding of what this story is about. I have also added new characters as well as retained the old characters as well.



2 PROLOGUE

Twelve years ago…

Twenty young children no more than eight-years old, snuck along the cold and dank hallway of a military facility. Ever so careful neither one of the children made a sound. They were planning to escape. To leave the facility and live in the real world. All of them were really scared and some were even having doubts about leaving but no one said a word. Not one word until they turned a corner and one of them stopped.

Overcome with fear, the child shook her head no when another signaled her to keep going and went back to their room. Having no choice the other moved on, leaving the other behind.

Outside the facility a window broke from the inside. It was the children. They were escaping. Armed with nothing but a simple gray hospital like gown on their backs they broke into a run and headed towards the woods. Once there they stopped and gathered around each other. One of them, a black-haired, sky blue-eyed girl, knew that if they separated, they would have a bigger chance of escaping, so she gave the signal to split up. She was the leader among them and all followed her without question. After giving the signal there was a black-haired, brown-eyed young girl who shook her head 'no'. Indicating that she didn't want them to split up. But the order was re-enforced by a blond-haired, blue-eyed young boy, who was the second in command of the group. Once it was understood, they all went their own ways.

It seemed forever but soon the air was filled with the sounds of sirens, beams of light and metal birds called helicopters. And on the ground soldiers armed with weapons were pursuing the children with the order to capture and return them to the facility.

Out of twenty children who participated in the escape, not counting the one who went back, only twelve actually made it out. What had happened to the remaining seven children, no one knows. Some say they died, others say they were captured and brought back. But to those who escaped, none looked back. They integrated themselves into the first city, town, village they could find and began to live a life of their own.
