Chapter 2

Kenshin tried to dress the girls wound as best as he could with what he had available to stop the bleeding, but they needed to get back to the dojo so she could be treated for her wound properly. Sano picked her up making sure not to cause her any pain and started sprinting towards the dojo with Kenshin and Yahiko following behind.

Arriving at the dojo Kenshin ordered Yahiko to find Megumi and Kaoru as they put the girl in a guest room. When Yahiko came back with Megumi and Kaoru he told them what had happened to her.

"Everyone must leave except for Kaoru" Megumi ordered already working on the unconscious girl.

The guys waited patiently outside as Megumi and Kaoru worked, all hoping that she would pull through.

Hours later Megumi and Kaoru exited the room looking exhausted.

" She is alright, luckily no vital organs were damaged. All she needs to do is regain her strength and rest" Megumi announced gathering her supplies.

None of them noticed how late it had become until Yahiko let out an exaggerated yawn.

" Well I'm going to sleep" he said standing up and walking to his room.

" I think we should all go and get some rest" Kenshin second " Megumi do you want me to walk you back to the clinic?" he asked her.

"No Ken-san, rooster head will" she said giving Sano a playful nudge in the ribs.

"Yeah don't worry" Sanouske assured opening the door to leave.

When they left Kenshin and Kaoru walked to their rooms to get some well deserved rest.

As the sun rose on the next day Kenshin awoke to begin his daily chores. Exiting his room he saw the green eyed girl sitting on the porch.

"Mori-do…"he was calling to her but was interrupted when she spoke

"Please call me Katsumi Mr…."

"Himura Kenshin" he replied

"Ah, well nice to meet you Himura-san" she said with a small smile

"Onegai Kenshin is fine"
"Well, Kenshin-san arigato for helping me" she said trying to stand but stopped as pain shot through her body.

Kenshin was quickly at her side helping her sit down.

"Please Katsumi-dono don't try to strain yourself, your wounds are still fresh."

" Kenshin!" Kaoru called to him

"Yes Kaoru-dono"

"Oh! Kenshin I couldn't find… Oh there you are" she said while going up to Katsumi.

"Ohayo my name is Kamiya Kaoru" she said introducing herself.

"Ohayo Kamiya-san my name is Mori Katsumi, but Katsumi is fine"

"Then please call me Kaoru. So I haven't seen you around town are you new here"

"No, I'm actually a ruro…."

"KENSHIN!!! I'M HUNGRY IS BREAKFAST DONE" Yahiko yelled, announcing to everybody that he was awake.

"Yahiko-chan! Please excuse him" Kaoru said looking a little embarrassed.

" Hey, you alright" Yahiko asked walking up to Katsumi.

"Yes I'm alright now young man" she assured him with a smile.

Yahiko became all flustered at the small gesture.

"Oi Kenshin is the food done" Sano called entering the dojo with Megumi and Ayame and Suzume

" Sessha is about to begin" Kenshin said walking to the kitchen.

"Hey Katsumi after breakfast you can tell us more about yourself" Kaoru suggested.

" Yeah, that's fine" she said while carefully standing up with some help from Yahiko.

Leading the way Kaoru invited everyone inside to eat breakfast.
