Author's Note:
This story came as I was starting to write the first chapter of Remembrances of August. In this story I explain how Kenshin and Karou meet, the circumstances and why it is so critical in the beginning Remembrances of August. I have explained, both Kenshin and Karou's "special abilities". You will have to read to find out what they where, but as I was planning to write a Kenshin /Karou songfic to Waiting for a Girl like You anyways, I decided to do it as a separate short story that happens to be a prologue as well. You can enjoy just this, or stay tuned for the continuation, well in a way, of this story.
