Long Lost Family
Chapter 1: Memories from so long ago…
A young boy stands alone with his baby sister asleep in a basket at his feet. Her angelic face threatens to bring tears to the boy's bright purple eyes. A flash of lightning cuts through the sky, illuminating the last place he would ever see her, ever touch her sensitive skin, ever look into her bright, trusting, cheerful, green eyes, or smell the sweet scent of a nine month old child. She stirred from the lightening flash and slowly opened her eyes as the rain started to pour down on their heads. He bent over and lifted the girl whose chubby little arms now were outstretched skyward. A tear rolled down his face as she playfully tugged on a lock of ruddy hair. He knew what he was going to do would be the best thing a big brother could do for this child. The rain came down faster, the thunder louder, and the lightning closer. She yawned lazily and buried her head into his chest, all the while looking up to his face lovingly. He turned, with the child still in his arms, and walked up to a nearby house. The couple that owned the rundown old shack was very old, too old to be the child's grandparents. They stood patiently as he started to approach them, coming up from behind a large group who waited for the boy to join their numbers. He reached the couple and wrapped the girl in a one last hug of goodbye. He placed her into the old women's outstretched arms without looking up. There was no way he wanted to look at them, to see their happy faces about the baby coming into their lives. She simply stared at him with curious eyes as he turned away from them. She was not sure what was happening or what to think. He started to walk away as the rain poured harder, perfect for hiding his tears. She started crying as she realized that he was leaving her here, alone, in the arms of complete strangers. "Shita!" came her cries. "Shita!" He continued to walk away, unaltered by the child's first words. "Shita! Shita!" He never looked back, just kept walking on to his new life. "Shita! Shita!" the child screamed again and again, struggling and ferociously kicking from her new caretakers. "Shita!" her voice screamed, shaking heavily. "Kenshin? Kenshin?" a new voice called.
"Earth to Kenshin!" Sanosuke Sagara's voice came.
Kenshin Himura sat straight up, suddenly thrown into the present time. He blinked, coming out of trance, and looked around. "Yes?" he asked, uncertain of what has been happening around him.
"You completely spaced out, Kenshin," Karou Meiji said with some worry in her voice. "What is on your mind?"
Kenshin turned away; he really did not fell like answering her question at the present time, but he knew he had to, lest they would worry. "I am sorry about that, Miss Karou, that I am," He said, vaguely. "I was just thinking about someone from long ago. There is nothing to be concerned about, that there is not." He smiled, closing his sentence and hoping that the topic would be dropped.
"Who was it, Kenshin?" she asked with curiousity.
"No one really, just my baby sister…" he said trailing off. He told them his story. He told them how he had left her behind, how he had just left as she screamed out his name again and again {he never told them that his real name was Shita, however}. "I even wrote her every week, until…well…until I left my master ten years ago. I have not heard anything since then, nor been able to contact her. I sent a letter, even stopped by the town I left her in, but I could not find her. The place was completely burned down. I fear she may have lost her life during the war. I should have gone back a long time ago…" he trailed off again.
