           "Don't say that, Sano! If you looked hard enough, you will find someone out there for you!" Kaoru said.

         " Like you and Kenshin?" Yahiko snickered. Kaoru and Misao were talking about true love over breakfast and Sano was, as his usual self, made a wrong remark.

        "Whoa!" the girl cried as she lost her footing and fell backward down the cliff edge. The foursome gasped as they watched her tumble quickly down the cliff. Her hand grabbed at the ground and for a second, everybody at the scene thought she was saved. Suddenly, her hand let go, and no more traces of her could be seen…
