Chapter one- Lilac scent

It's been nearly two days since she came to Kyoto still no sign of the battousi anywhere. She frowned slightly as she scanned the busy market places, if the rumors were true he wasn't in his nature anymore during the wars. Shouts and feet scurrying reached her ears. She looked down upon feeling a light tug on her skirt.
A boy with black spiky hair and brown eyes caught her eye. She smiled slightly as he blinked a couple of times. He ran off noticing his mistake, leaving a confused samurai in his wake. Her eyes widened slightly as she noticed a girl with black hair with him, and not that but the man with her. She narrowed her eyes, the scar on his left cheek.
**Flashback**

"The battousi has a left scar on his cheek from the war, before he killed Tomoe's fiancé" her teacher told her. She raised an eyebrow at that, after all the blood shed and fights he got into. He only came out with a scar on his cheek.

**End of Flashback**

She turned around and walked off so he was definitely here still this new man slayer, was quite odd for someone who has many blood sheds on his hands. Blonde hair blew to the side of her face as she made her way towards the restaurants.

"Yahiko you shouldn't eat too fast" Kaoru said.

The young boy growled in annoyance but still continued to eat anyways, the attendee continued to drink the tea he ordered. Yahiko stopped as he sniffed the air, and was beginning to anger kaoru again by his obnoxiousness.

"Hey, that is the smell of the perfume the girl was wearing when I ran into her" he said.

"Girl?" both asked.

"Yes, she was tall blonde hair with it tied in a bow, and she had a sword tied to her side like kenshin" he said smiling. Kenshin blinked in surprise there was someone almost like him here as well? He never heard of her during the wars.

"It smells like Lilac" Kaoru murmured

All three occupants peeked down barley catching a glimpse of the woman before she sat in her booth, the waitress handing her a cup of tea. Loud arguing could be heard behind them as they heard the words about democracy again, a slamming of a glass made them shut up.
The three politicians looked up as a figure loomed behind them, her eyes narrowed and her hands on her hip. She snarled slightly while brushing a strand of her hair away, she picked one of them up and threw him right back down.
"Excuse me, you talk of democracy when the war is over, and our country has yet to finally move to that point yet, do you have any idea of how many blood sheds there were during the war?" she asked. The men blinked and shook their heads.
Kenshin eyes were wider as he recognized that voice, but it couldn't be her due to the fact that the girl was only sixteen when he last saw her. So this means she didn't die that she is now nineteen years old.
The girl paid her bill and walked out of the restaurant never in her life did she need to get in a fight. The only one she wanted to fight was the man slayer. On second thought, there was no point on fighting him now was there?
