"You're never gonna catch us!!!" a little girl by the name of Narasaki said. Battosai, the greatest assassin of the Meiji Revolution, seemed to disagree when out of nowhere he scooped up Narasaki and her little sister Misao and ran as fast as a human could around the yard with them. It wasn't realized they were falling until they actually hit the ground. "Let's do it again!" Misao said, running around Battosai. Smiling, Battosai shook his head no but promised he would be back tomorrow. After tucking the girls in with help from their parents, Battosai left for the night.
"We had allot of fun with Sai today, huh Nari?" Misao whispered. "Yeah, she replied. "We did."

It was almost noon and Battosai still hadn't showed yet. Karou immediately went out to go look for him. When she didn't find him she began to ask for directions "The house at the end of the street," a man replied from the shadows. "Be careful, Narasaki. Don't go there unless you must. And don't forget about your training with Hiko today." "Okay, Aoshi" Narasaki replied and skipped off. He watched her then disappeared back into the shadows.

"Hello? Anybody home?" Narasaki called. A woman with brown eyes and hair in a ponytail greeted her and asked her if she was looking for someone. "Battosai said he would come to play with us today. Is he here?" "Oh, he had an um… errand to run but he should be back soon. The woman answered "I'm… well, that doesn't matter. Why don't we talk why we wait."
Thirty minutes later, after a lot of talking and getting to know each other, a messenger came to let the woman know where Battosai was. "Battosai is at your house Nari-chan, but before you go there is one thing you must do," she said. As Narasaki leaned closer the woman said,"Don't tell Battosai or anyone else you came here. Never come back either. It's just too dangerous to take risks." After Narasaki promised secrecy she left wondering about the woman. "It's too bad I never asked her name," Narasaki thought to herself as she walked away.

When she returned home she was questioned about where she was by her parents, her sister, and Battosai. Narasaki simply replied "out" and walked inside.
Battosai's gaze followed after her, but he soon continued to play with Misao.
