At the end of the Tokugawa era Himura, Kenshin became a wanderer. He was the last of the imperialist that helped shape the way for the Meiji Era.

When he vowed to quit being a manslayer he started wandering to atone for the countless lives he took.

While wandering one day he came upon a lady needing help with her garden and she called out to him.

"Excuse me sir, would you be able to help me start my garden, I can't seem to get it started" she told him.

He smiled and nodded to her.

Kenshin went to help her. He started tilling the dirt and soil for her.

She went in and made him something to eat and drink since he had been working so hard. She thought he was good looking. She took the food out to him and gave it to him. He thanked her and ate it.

"What is your name kind sir?" she asked.

"Himura, Kenshin" he told her smiling gently at her.

"Nakajima, Natsuko is my name and this is my place, it's small but I like it…how long are you in town for?" she questioned.

"A few days, that I am"

"I have a spare cot if you need it" she told him.

"Thank you Miss Natsuko. I will accept your offer, that I will" he told her standing up. "Shall I heat a bath for you?"

"No, that won't be necessary" she told him. "I will heat one for you and wash your clothes as well"

He bowed to her and went inside.

She started a bath for him. While he was in the bath she washed and hung out his clothes to dry.

Natsuko gave him a robe to wear while his clothes dried.

Once his clothes were dry she gave them back to him. "Here you go Mr. Himura" she said handing him his clothes.

"Kenshin is fine, that it is" he told her taking his clothes. His hand lingered on hers before dropping his clothes on the floor. He pulled her into a kiss. Before long they were making love to one another.

Little did either of them realize that this was a night NOT to be forgotten.
