Disclamer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.

Prologue
"Come on, are you scared or something?"
The boys towered over her like a huge building. They all taunted her about being afraid of water. She couldn't take it anymore. She stood up confidently.
"I'm not afraid of you!" She shouted defensively. She pulled out her bokken and set herself in a fighting stance.
The boys howled with laughter and grinned evilly.
"Do you really think you can fight us?" One of the boys asked, who had disgusting breath and bright yellow teeth.
She hesitated for a minute, but stood up tall.
"I can fight you! My father teaches the Kamiya Kasshin Style, and he taught it to me! Yah…!!!" She yelled.
She charged for the so called, "Leader." He was a chubby boy with a head full of black hair. His sharp brown eyes frightened her, but she continued running.
Suddenly, she tripped on a rock that was in her way and she fell face flat on the cold stone ground.
The boys snickered and she turned beet red. She started standing up, but the "Leader," placed a foot on her stomach.
"You are such a loser!" He spat. He kicked her stomach and a stream of pain shot through her. "You guys can beat her up, she's useless."
She heard them cheer and she heard one say, "Finally, something good!"
She whimpered and a tear trickled down her cheek. She was too young to die, she was only six. They kicked her and punched her until she started wailing.
"Stop hurting her!" She heard a male voice say.
She looked up and saw a red head boy that she could've sworn to be a girl. His soft, light purple eyes glared at the boys with anger. He was very short for a boy, but she saw he carried a small dagger.
One of the boys slowly walked up to him.
"What are you going to do about it you shrimp?" He smirked.
The boy with red hair positioned into a fighting stance and took out his dagger.
"I said, stop hurting her." He simply replied, in a dangerous tone.
The leader said, "Get him."
The herd of boys charged at him but he dodged them swiftly and easily.
Wow! She thought, stunned.
By the end of five minutes, all the kids were knocked out, and he left the leader to run away, crying.
There was a big awkward silence, then she said, "Th-thank you."
He smiled and dashed away right after. She sat there, alone, then stood up and started walking home. The Sun was setting and the sky was smeared orange, pink, and purple.
We will meet again… someday…
