Chapter 3 - The Legend of the Fuyu Dragon

Disclaimer-Rurouni Kenshin do not belong to me and don't sue me. I write this fic out of fun, peace, laughter and joy!

Author's note- Ayumi met both Kenshin and Sano but not Kaoru and Yahiko yet so now this is where they finally meet each other.

-Back at the Dojo-

Kaoru: Come out now, Yahiko! Or I am going to throw this at your brain! I am not waiting any longer!

Kaoru sighed deeply and aimed for Yahiko with the tofu basket. At that moment the main Shoji slide opened.

Kenshin: Tadaima, Kaoru-dono! Oro?!

Kenshin watch the tofu basket fly toward the tree and hit someone up there and Yahiko came crashing down to the ground.

Ayumi: Cool and tough woman. That is my kind of girl-power. Hey Battousai, your taste is good, better than that anytime-going-to-drop-dead Tomoe.

Kaoru: That would teach you not to mess with me!

Kenshin: Konnichiwa, Kaoru-dono!

Sano: I am going to the kitchen with the fishes

Sano set off whistling towards the kitchen with the fishes in his arm.

Kaoru: Kenshin, who is that? Shinomori Aoshi?

Kaoru pointed toward the tall figure stand behind Kenshin in the shadows therefore making it hard for Kaoru to see the face.

Kenshin: Iie, it is not Shinomori Aoshi but my old friend.

Ayumi: I am not that old, Battousai.

Kenshin: Gomen and stop calling me Battousai. I do not go by the name Hitokiri Battousai anymore, just call me Himura Kenshin.

Ayumi step out from the shadow so that Kaoru could see her face

Kaoru: Oh no, I am doomed! She is so much taller and prettier than me. Kenshin would definitely like her. Konnichiwa, I am Kamiya Kaoru.

Ayumi: Konnichiwa, I know that as Himura told me about you.

Kaoru: What is wrong with this woman? She is so cold like Aoshi.

Ayumi: Let me introduce myself. I am Hajime Ayumi, the little sister of the Mibu Wolf. I fought side by side with Batt--Himura back then, it been such a long time since I met a strong and tough also beautiful woman like you. Pretty cool trick, you did with the tofu basket.

Kaoru just blushed and bowed her head.

Kaoru: Arigatou! I didn't know that Hajime Saitou had a little sister and that you fought side by side with Kenshin. Care to tell us the story?

Ayumi: Sure, can't wait to embarrassed the Battousai but could I have your permission to stay here?

Kaoru: This is definitely my worst nightmare, what should I do? Should I let her? Or should I not? I don't know what to do!

Ayumi: Sorry to interrupt but...

Kaoru: Who said that?

Ayumi: Don't worry, it is I- Ayumi

Kaoru: What are you doing in my mind?

Ayumi: Sorry but since young, I was able to read and enter people's mind and I sort of accidentally read yours just now.

Kaoru: That's okay, I am just worry that you will take Kenshin away from me.

Ayumi: Kenshin? Take Kenshin away from you? What the hell were you thinking? He is not my type beside he is too short for me.

Kaoru: Really?

Ayumi: You have my word, if you need anything just tell me

Kaoru: Can you enter Kenshin's mind?

Ayumi: Hai, it is boring in there

Kaoru: What is he thinking of now?

Ayumi: He is thinking why are staring at each other for?

Kaoru: That Baka!

Ayumi: Don't worry, I will talk to him about you, just give him some time, he is a little dense.

Kaoru: Hai

Kaoru: Ayumi-dono, you may stay here but you have to help with the house chores.

Ayumi: No problem at all but may I know what kinds of chores?

Kaoru: We decide about that later, now let me lead you to your room.

--------------Ayumi's room-----------

Ayumi: Kaoru-san, do you know where can i find my brother?

Kaoru: You know I am really very thankful that you are here.

Ayumi: Don't mention it so can you tell me where can I find my brother?

Kaoru: I have no idea myself, Ayumi-san. Don't worry, he will just appear at the dojo anytime and any occasion.

Ayumi: That freak is still the same as ever.

Kaoru: Let's go to the courtyard where you can tell us your story.

Ayumi: Hai

End of Chapter 3

Author's note: Gomen, for the long update.... I had this terrible virus in life called `School'. Speaking of which, I am totally very sorry for Ayumi's full name, please forgive me but who care about that. From now on, her name would be `Fuyu Ayumi', just to avoid confusion... That is all for now so now on to chapter 4!
