Chapter one:

"We're going to bring her down!" a cruel voice called out.

"Yeah!" the other two brothers called back.

"Kamiya's gonna pay for what she's done to father!"

"She'll regret she ever messed with the Watanabes!"

"We'll get her and we'll get her good!"

The sun was just setting and the sky began to grow darker. Kenshin was finishing up on some laundry, Sano was chewing his fish bone and sitting on the front porch doing nothing (as usual), and Ayame and Suzume were jumping rope. And Yahiko was being chased by an enraged Kaoru and her bokken.

"Get back here Yahiko!"

"No way ya ugly hag!"

The angry woman gained up on poor Yahiko and beat him upside the head mercilessly with her bokken. Ignoring the shout of warning Kenshin gave of being careful not to hit Yahiko too hard.

"What was that for?" he asked rubbing the large bump on his head.

"For calling me ugly. Now give me 500 katas and clean the dojo."

Yahiko stomped off with a rag and bucket grumbling things about ugly old hags and their evil bokkens.

"That'll teach him" Kaoru said happily, dusting off her hands.

The dojo gates swung open a dark haired doctor walked in. "Hello everyone" Megumi greeted cheerfully. "Today I'll be cooking dinner tonight. I bought two big salmon fish and I ..."

Before Megumi could finish, Yahiko and Sano came lunging towards the basket she was holding. Luckily Kaoru saw and knocked them out with her bokken.

"Thanks. Anyways I thought it would be nice to celebrate the fact that we have known each other for a year. Dr. Genzai will be swinging by later to join us and take the kids home.

"But Megumi-dono, it's only November" Kenshin said sweat dropping.

"Really? Oh, well" She hooked her arm through Kenshin's and began pulling him to the kitchen. "Now, about you always calling my name with a dono. You don't have to. You can always call me just Megumi or koshii or honey..." And on and on she continued listing.

"Good luck trying! Kenshin won't change!" Kaoru yelled out to nobody. 'Believe me. I've tried' "C'mon. Let's go help them" She took Ayame and Suzume by the hand and led them into the kitchen. She didn't trust Megumi to be alone with Kenshin.

Once Sano and Yahiko had woken up, they eagerly sat down at the dinner table watching all the delicious food being placed on the table.

"You aren't allowed to eat until Dr. Genzai gets here" Megumi said as she placed the last bowl on the table.

On cue, the elderly doctor walked in with a box of sponge cake and a bag of apples. More drool came out of Sano and Yahiko's mouths as the eyed the yummy cake and juicy red fruit.

"Having a feast are we?" Dr. Genzai said looking at all the food.

"Yes. Hurry up and take a seat Dr. Genzai, or we'll be swimming in drool" Kaoru said.

Once he sat down, the two attacked.

"Guys we better start eating or else there'll be nothing left for us."

They all ate and ate and ate until they couldn't eat anymore. When they were done, they left the dirty plates and bowls in the sink and went outside.

"Uh...I think I'm going to go and sit on the roof" Kaoru suddenly said.

"Do you want us to join you?" Megumi asked.

"N...No. That's alright. I need to be alone for a while" Kaoru grabbed two slices of sponge cake and two apples then raced off. The others stared after her.

"Do you think she's alright?" questioned Sano.

"Should I go check?" Kenshin suggested.

"Yeah I think you should."

Kaoru climbed up the wooden ladder to the dojo roof. As soon as she reached her destination, something knocked her to the ground.
