It was a beautiful sunny day at the Kamiya Dojo, as usual Kaoru and Yahiko were training and Kenshin was doing the laundry. There was a sudden knock on the gate and Kaoru rushed over to answer it (not before ordering Yahiko to do 2,000 more strokes that is). Before the gate stood a rather short man with scruffy light brown hair and periwinkle blue eyes, not looking much over than 35.

"I'm very sorry to intrude miss, but all the inns are full and I must have a place to stay for at least a night." The man said bowing politely. "If it would be no trouble."

Kaoru looked at the man's kind face and slid the door out more widely to let him in, "It would be no trouble at all." Kaoru said smiling.

Kenshin heard someone knocking but felt no danger and let Kaoru take care of it, but when he heard the person come in he became more curious and abandoned his laundry to see who it was. As he neared them he heard their conversaion more clearly.

"So what brings you here sir?"

"Oh, I'm looking for my brother, they say he is in Tokyo."

"What is your brothers name?"

"Shinta, do you know him?"

"I-" but she got cut off, for at that moment Kenshin rushed in to the room room they were speaking in.

"Kojiro!" Kenshin cried out looking suprised and amazed. "Kojiro? Kenshin, do you know this man?" Kaoru asked, somewhat dazzled by his sudden outburst. Before she knew it the man called Kojiro went over and hugged Kenshin with all his might. "Shinta, my long lost brother, I finally get to see you!" Kenshin being suffocated by his older brother managed to smile, "Sessha is glad that you are alive that he is, Sessha was sure that all his brothers were wiped out by famine."

"I'm amased you are alive as well, you were always the weaker one in the family as you took from mother, it's a suprise you survived so long." Kojiro said with a quiet laugh. Kenshin wasn't sure if he should of taken that as a compliment, but he quickly waved the thought away and focused on celebrating his brothers arrival. He was about to propose the thought of going to the Akabeko for dinner but at that moment Yahiko came in having finished his training, and wondering what all the fuss was about.

"Hey, what's going on in here!" Yahiko exclaimed. Kojiro looked at the boy for a while and then said,"I'm so happy for you Shinta, you have a beautiful wife and son...a family."Kenshin blushed, "Their not-

"No,no. Don't express any pitty over me brother. I like this lonely life." Kojiro interupted. The red-haired former assassin sighed and was about to start again but Yahiko was already speaking. "Wait so you're Kenshin's brother, wow, you never told us you had a family Kenshin!"

"Well-" He was about to start again bu this time Kaoru butted in. "Let's all go to the Akabeko to celebrate!" "Yeah, finally some good food, not Busu's cooking from hell!" "What did you say you little brat!" "I said your food comes from hell, Busu!" Yahiko yelled running to the dojo. "Your gonna pay for that Yahiko-chan!" screamed Kaoru already close at Yahiko's heels and waving her bokken.

"Quite an energetic family you have." Said Kenshin's brother having watched thewhole ordeal. "Yes, sessha has been meaning to say that Kaoru-dono and I are not married and-" "Wait, are you telling me that-"

"No, not at all, sessha was mearly saying that sessha just lives here...and takes care of the chores." Kenshin added, hoping it would make him sound more useful.

At this same time three men were sitting in a run down cottage in the middle of the forest which lay rather close to the Kamiya residence.

"I saw him walk into the dojo, I think he's going to stay there for the night." said one of the men, he was tall and lean, dressed in the black costume of a ninja.

"Good, there aren't as many people as there would be if he stayed in an inn, less bodies to hide." Said another one dressed in the same ninja outfit.

"Then we shall attack tonight, "said the third one, who unlike the other two was dressed in the regular attire,"I don't want any mistakes, remember that I am paying you for this, if this mission does not turn out the way I want it, then your lives shall be forfiet to me. The only reason I'm not doing this is because I want to have a clean record, at least for now." He said darkly."That bastard shall pay for what he did to my father, I'll make sure of it!"

A/N: So, howd you like it? I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as i can. I realized that they don't have many fics about Kenshin's brothers so i decided to write this one. Pleeze R/R
