CHAPTER ONE

"I don't get it. Why is Kenshin standing like that?" thought Kaoru. They were outside, in the dojo, watching Yahiko practice his boken sword with Sanosuke.

"It's strange isn't it?" Kenshin asked peacefully while looking up into the clear blue sky.

"Huh?" Kaoru asked, "What is?"

"That ten years ago, today, I vowed to never kill again. And here I am, today, still keeping that sam-"

"Ow!!!" yelled Yahiko covering a small bump on his head, "Don't hit me with my own sword Sano!!!"

"Well sorry if I was trying to get your attention, little kid," replied a smirking Sanosuke.

"I'm not little!!!" Yahiko yelled as he chased after Sanosuke with his sword.

"Hey stop hitting me with that thing!!!" Sanosuke yelled. Kaoru laughed at the sight, then she gave a reassuring smile to Kenshin. Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Kenshin stared into those same eyes and smiled back.

"Excuse me? Is anyone here?" asked a young girl who was standing outside of the dojo. Her pale violet eyes barely glinted from the sun.

"I'll get it, missy." Sanosuke said when he heard the voice.

"No you wont!" yelled Yahiko, who was still angry for being called a "little kid."

"Hel-"*THWAP*

"Hello?" Yahiko said in front of Sanosuke, who had a huge bump on his head. "Can we help you with anything?" he asked proudly with his sword on his shoulder.

"Yes you certainly can." She replied, "I am looking for Kamiya Kaoru. Does she live here?"

"I'm Kaoru." She said as she approached the gate.

"I have a letter for you." She said, "Miss Misao sent me."

"Oh! Are you a friend of Misao?" Kaoru asked.

"I work at a shop where she does and she asked me to give this letter to you." She said as she gave Kaoru the letter.

"What's your name, little missy?" Sanosuke asked curiously.

"My name is Kanna." She replied.

"And how old are you?" Yahiko asked.

"Fourteen and a half." Kanna replied

"Thank you very much. Say, would you like to come in and have some tea?" Kaoru asked politely.

"That would be wonderful." She said as a strong gust of wind blew her long dark hair into her face. She smiled and walked inside with Kaoru, Sanosuke, and Yahiko.
