Disclaimer: I would love to own RK but I don't, however I do own this fanfiction. Also this is the only disclaimer I'm putting in the story. I'm too lazy :p

Authors's Note: Okay the Chinese dress Kaoru is wearing is not a Chi Pao, it the one that came before it. Hard to describe. Oh Kaoru's dad is Chinese and her mom is Japanese thus the Japanese name. The reason Kaoru is in Japan is she is touring Her mom's homeland to find out about it. If I don't get enough reviews then i'm not continuing this story. Excuse the spelling and some one please tell me the sides and which side Kenshin fought on as the battosai. Its been driving me nuts because I can 't figur it out

The Bodies of the would be assulters thudded to the gound as Kaoru dusted her hands clean.

" I'm not one of those people you think you can take advantage of ; just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I can't fight."

She stepped over the two unconcious bodies and made her way back to the market. Still fuming about the two brutish men

who upon seeing her in her blue and white chinese gown, thought she was a delicate damsel who would be impressed with their

pathedic "heroic" deeds. They had thought she would fall over herself to please them. Kaoru was tired of being treated like

glass when she in her younger years had studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple maskeraiding as a guy. She had been so

good she finished her training at the top of her class before she "became a girl" and from there one perfected her style. She

went back to the ribbon stall where she first encountered the thugs and proceeded to buy a blue and violet ribbon. Afterwards

she proceeded to the nearest inn.

~A While Later In A Mysteriously Familar Inn~

Kaoru felt out of place as after getting a room she noticed the inn's staff pointing at her while ill concealing

whispers behind their hands. Also the inn's occupants, strangely all men, were looking at her strangely. To sooth her jumbled

nerves, she decided to go out for a walk.

~Kenshin's POV~

I had just come back from a assasination. I was covered in blood, so I went to the back of the inn where there

was a basin full of water. There I commensed my ritual of dumping water on myself so that I could try and rid myself of the

gore. I stopped however midway with the water bucket poised, at the slight rustle of clothing and the quiet patter of foot steps.

A moment later a body backed into mine. Surprised, my quick reflexes had no time to react causing me to dump the contents

of the bucket on the poor unexpecting fellow. The person shrieked and turned around flashing me the most incredible blue eyes

I had ever seen. I was however knocked out of my stupor when a sweet voice cried out.

" Sheesh, I'm sorry for knocking into you but did you have to dump water on me?!"
