A spurring color of amber flickered through his eyes. A strong anger rushed through him. A rush of wind and a flash of light brought the three men unconscious on the ground. Kenji was awe-struck. His father defeated them in one blow, whereas he had trouble defeating them with many. Kenji's respect for his father grew at that moment. And for the first time in many years, he was proud of his father being who he was.
Kenshin walked back out of the clearing and reappeared carrying Kaoru, and his amber eyes had vanished at the sight of her.
Kenji was shocked at the state of his mother. She normally was a great fighter; and equally surprised she was wrapped in his father's kimodo, shivering.
" mom, are you okay?" asked Kenji.
Kaoru nodded and relaxed in Kenshin's arms. They were heading home.
Kenji was about to ask father something, but a discouraging look from Kenshin told him not to start talking. Kaoru was now fast asleep in Kenshin's arms when they reached home.
Kenji waited outside his parent's room while Kenshin laid Kaoru on the bed.
When he reappeared, Kenji was going to bombarded Kenshin with questions.
Kenshin, who seemed to have predicted this, returned to the door.
"I'll answer questions later, right now, get some rest Kenji." and Kenshin shut the door to their room.
Kenji awoke that morning with Megumi at his bedside.
" hello miss Megumi.... What are you doing?" he asked.
" I'm treating your wound silly... sir ken had informed me you were hurt."
Kenji looked at his bandaged arm. A dark line of blood was on it, but was soon covered up by a new wrap from Megumi.
"There you are Sir Kenji. All done."
"Thankyou so much miss Megumi."
"No problem" said Megumi, then with a small bow, she left the room.
Kenji got up, and quickly dressed in his dark red kimodo.
" father? You here?" he asked. He searched the dojo 'til he found him and his mother eating breakfast on the front steps.
" you sure have improved your cooking Kaoru-dono, that you have." said Kenshin with another bite of rice cakes.
" yeah. I guess... well i learned from the best," she said nudging Kenshin.
They both laughed. Kenji didn't want to break their conversation, I'll talk to father later he thought, and he returned inside the dojo.

Kenji had stepped hastily away from his parents. They needed to be alone. However, he was still wondering about the men, and why they came after his mother. He walked around the dojo for a while lost in his thoughts.
"Hey you there!" said a voice, followed by a man who knocked on the door.
Kenji approached the heavy wooden doors and opened them. The man was tall, and had spiky brown hair. He wore a white jacket and white pants, and a red bandanna was wrapped around his head. Kenji had never seen this man before.
"Hey there... is there a kenshin himura here?" asked the man.
Kenji looked at the man curiously. Was this a trick? Was this another man after his father and mother? Or was this just a guy looking for his father?
" yes." said Kenji simply," stay here. I'll go fetch him."
Sano stood patiently at the door while Kenji left to get his father.
Kenji tapped his father on the back.
" yes, what is it Kenji?" asked Kenshin.
" there's a man here to see you..." said Kenji.
Kaoru and Kenshin looked at each other, then got up to follow Kenji to the door.
"SANO!" cried Kenshin and Kaoru in unison as they ran to greet the man.
"HEY KENSHIN! HEY MISSY! How have you been?" said Sano running up to them.
Kenshin and Kaoru smiled. They haven't seen Sano in 14 years.
Kenji stood patiently aside from the adults, waiting to be introduced.
"You've been gone a long time Sanosuke" said Kaoru
Sano smiled," you don't know how much I've missed you guys...."
Kenji cleared his throat.
" you guys hired someone to take care of the dojo?" asked Sano.
Kenji blushed.
" he's our son Sano." said Kenshin getting the worst over with.
