It was a warm Saturday afternoon and a pretty girl with orange-ish red hair was sitting under a tree in the park. She was reading a book that her friend sent her from Yokohama sent her when someone tripped over her feet.
"Ow! Who put feet there?" asked a guy with a rough voice.
"Watch where you're walking Kuwabara" said another voice as he walked over her.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" she asked putting her book down for a moment.
"SHUT UP URAMESHI! Yes, I'm fine" he told her.
"Good, watch where you are going next time" she told him slightly annoyed.
"Miss are you alright?" a red haired cutie asked her.
"Hai, I'm fine" she said. "Would you up me up please?"
He nodded aend helped her to her feet.
"Thank you" said the girl picking up her book and looking at the four boys standing by her.
"May I ask your name?" the red head asked her.
"My name is Tomoe Rei Himura-Ito, and I'm from Yokohama" she answered. "Who might you be?"
"I am Minamino, Suichi...otherwise known as Kurama and this is Hiei, Yusuke Urameshi, and Kuwabara" he introduced the rest of the boys to her.
"Nice to meet you all" she told them.
"What brings you to Tokyo?" Yusuke asked her.
"A person called Koenma" she said.
"What does he want with you?" Kuwabara asked.
"No clue" she said playing with the handle of her sword.
She captured Hiei's intrest. "What kind of sword is that? It doesn't look like anything I know, looks old" he told her.
Tomoe stopped for a moment and looked at him. "A reverse blade sword" she told him going back to playing with the handle.
"Hn, an old style Japanese sword..." he mumbled under his breath.
"Correct, it is like the one my great great grandfather used" she told them as she heard the two boys snicker.
"Who is your great great grandfather?" Kuwabara asking breaking into a laugh.
"Battousai the Manslayer-Kenshin Himura" she said now annoyed with them laughing at her family.
They stopped laughing and looked at her. Kuwabara didn't quite know what to say which made Hiei smirk. For once the tall idiot was speechless and that was music to his ears.
Yusuke broke the silence first. "Are you serious?!" Yusuke asked her in shock.
"Quite serious" she told him. "The Hi-Ten Mitsuragi Ryuu style was passed down in my family for a while until I beat my father whom was the last one to master it" she said to them.
"Impressive" Hiei said with a little bit of disbelief in his voice.
"I thought so too" said Koenma.
Everyone spun around to face him. Late as usual but Koenma didn't seem to care.
"You're late Koenma" she spit at him.
He held up his hands in defense. "Sorry I had to take care of some business, and maybe I should've have sent Botan to tell you I was going to be late" he said defensively.
Yusuke and Hiei snorted.
Her eyes went to a slightly gold color and her voice went a little deeper. "It's rude to keep people waiting, especially when you give them a set time to be somewhere and YOU FAIL TO SHOW UP AT SAID TIME" she told him bitterly.
"I'm sorry Tomoe" he said trying not to cry.
"It's Miss Himura to you!" she snarled at him.
"Yes ma'am" he said as he stated his business to her and she listened to what he had to say before holding up her hand.
"Wait...so you mean to tell me you had me leave Yokohama, my father, my life there to come fight in some tournament because Yusuke didn't "kill" the bad guy?!" she demanded.
She was now pissed at the fact that she had to call Lita and tell her where she was so she could bring her daughter to her. She wondered how her father would hold up and whenever she looked at Kurama she could see her husband in those eyes.
"Well, yes..." he said throwing his hands up again as if it would help him to be protected from her.
"If there is one thing I have learned from my family is this...a Himura will not fight unless they are protecting those they love, even thing it's hard to make them fight" she told him turning her back to him.
"But I've seen you fight, you're good" he stated.
"I only fought to protect my husband and son, even then I went against his wishes, he didn't want me to fight but I did...and the look they both gave me before they crossed over was a heart breaking one" she said with a little sadness seeping into her voice. "When you've buried family members let me know"
With everything said she took her book and headed deeper into the woods which was a temporary shelter until she could leave.
