i'm back. let's get on with the story.

disclaimer~ i don't own Rurouni Kenshin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kenshin shook himself out of it. 'It's just not possible,' he thought. 'It was to long ago, it can't come
and bite me in the butt now. She's just about the right age (speaking of which, if anybody knows Yahikos's
age, could you tell me?),' he countered himself. 'She has your hair.'

"Stop it," he said aloud. "This cannot be happening."

"What can't be happening Kenshin?" He turned to find Kaoru standing behind him with a curious look on her
face. "What's wrong?"

"Perhaps you should sit down Kaoru-dono. This may give you quite a shock."

Kaoru nodded and sat down next to Kenshin. "Spill it."

"It started ten years ago. On my travels, I chanced to meet a young woman. Ummmmmm......." Kenshin paused.

"Kenshin! Baka! You didn't!"

"I did Kaoru."

"Kenshin, you don't think that Jade's?"

"I do Kaoru. The lady and I waited till she was born, then left her at an orphanage. Never in my wildest
dreams did I think that I would ever see her again. Yet here she is. She says she wants to be as powerful
as the Battosai."

"Oh my. What are we going to do Kenshin? Should we tell her?"

"You are going to train her to be as strong as me I guess. What else can we do? Let's not tell her yet,
I'll tell her when the time is right."
