Prologue: The New Maid and Nanny

A man with long black hair, tied in a ponytail, and dark eyes that goes by the name of Hiko Seijuro the Thirteenth, is grudgingly walking down the streets of Kyoto; Hiko hate traveling away from his home and going into the city.

Hiko had to leave his seven year old apprentice of three months back at his house.

The reason Hiko is in town is because apparently he have to feed the apprentice three times a day and give the apprentice snacks as well.


*Time Skip- 2 hours later*


Hiko is on his way home when his shoulder bump into someone.

"Watch where your going," Hiko and a female said rudely in unison.

They went on their way; but, not before taking a quick look at the girl he bump into.

The girl is seventeen years old that has red hair that goes all the way to her mid-back and molten amber eyes with a mixture gold in the amber.

She somehow looks familiar to Hiko but he couldn't put his finger on it. When they were three meters from each other, Hiko stopped walking and stood stock still as he finally realized why she looks so familiar.

He turned around sharply to stare at the retreating figure of the red-headed female. He didn't really know what to do without making a fool of himself, and Hiko Seijuro the 13th never makes a fool of himself; so, he continue on his way.

"Shinta Himura," he called out the former name of his apprentice as he is walking.

It was about sunset by the time Hiko finally reached his home.

"Apprentice, what the hell you doing just laying about," Hiko called out when he saw Kenshin, his apprentice, laying about outside.

"I was taking a break Master… and I was trying to find food," 7-year old Kenshin stated to his instructor.

Hiko whacked Kenshin over the head with a bucket of rice.

"Don't be a smartass and resume your training," Hiko ordered.

"But Master-," Kenshin started to whine but stopped when he saw someone behind his Master.

"Master, who is that?" Kenshin pointed out to the person behind Hiko.

Hiko slightly turned around to see its the red-headed girl he bumped into earlier.

Hiko knew the girl was following him the whole time ever since he said 'Shinta Himura' but just ignored her. He knew she has some kind of relation to his apprentice but still didn't know what kind of relation.

"So he doesn't remember her," thought Hiko.

He and Kenshin can see some hurt in her eyes when she heard that Kenshin doesn't know her.

Hiko turned back to Kenshin, "she's your new nanny," Hiko claimed, "and the new maid of this place," he said after some thought.

Kenshin run up to the red haired lady.

"Hi. My name's Kenshin Himura. What's your name?"

"My name is Akina… Kentaro," she introduced herself.
