She merely shook her head. 'These aren't evidence. There's nothing worthwhile in this heap of junk.' She sighed and dumped the 'evidence' back into the bag. Turning back, surveyed the carnage before her.
"These aren't evidence, are they?" asked Saitou.
She merely shook her head and made weird movements with her hands.
"She says that the only evidence is the wound. The dragon in the middle resembles one from a clan of ninjas. She needs time to identify and confirm which." Translated the man.
"Who are you?" asked a very confused captain.
"I am Kumanji. This land is under my control. My family has used it to feed our cattle and give them an exercise once in a while. The lady here is a wandering mute who knows just about everything of such things."
"What is her name?" asked Yahiko.
"She doesn't have one but you can call her Aya. That's what everyone calls her."
"Aya. Would you bee so kind as to assist us in our case? You assistance would be most appreciated." Asked the captain politely.
"She says that she will only do what she believes must be done," translated Kumanji. "I know who you are and if you interfere, you will not come to a good end."
"We are just doing what we believe in. if that troubles you, I apologies on the behalf of our gang." replied Kenshin.
"Keep your hands out of this, Battousai. It is the way out of your league" translate Kumanji. "You may be strong but you may not be the one who is going to suffer the repercussions."
"If he isn't, I'm sure that we are able to withstand it," retorted Sanosuke. "We are all very strong people." The others nodded in agreement.
Aya shook her head again. 'Stubborn people'. Aya you see was not all she seemed. She was not really a mute but actually a real famous fighter. (I'm not going to reveal her identity since if I did, there would be no story.)
She walked towards the forest leaving them behind. She refused to even acknowledge them when they called out her name. She finally stopped at the edge of the forest. An eerie mist surrounded her and wrapped her like a blanket. Gradually, she faded from sight. By the time they caught up with her, she had disappeared along with the mysterious mist.
They went home late that day, arguing over the identity of the mysterious lady they had met that day. Kenshin in particular, was very interested. She had known who he was. A mute girl who wandered around without a name. It weighed on his conscience. Had she been one of his victims? Was he the reason that he was a mute? This plagued her already battered heart.
