"Their ours."

Sanosuke's eyes widened as he took in the information.

"We were only fifteen..."

"The people in the village that I was staying in when I gave brith to Ayame said that I was to young to have her,after Suzume I had no other choice but to give them up."

"So I'm..."

"Yeah,there was a clue,the fact that they look so much like you.I was afraid to ask Dr.Gensai."

"Can we tel-"

"Yes,we can tell them when we're on the way back to the dojo."

"Good,come on."

He pulled her up and headed straight for their room.

"That's what they said?"

"Yeah,"

Kenshin sighed and fell back down onto the futon.He eyes never leaving Kaoru.

"So they've seen eachother before she showed up at the dojo."

"And they kept this from us."

"Well,Sano didn't know and Kira wasn't really sure."

"Might as well drop it for tonight."

Yahiko looked up as the door to the room was slid open,revaling Misao.

"So?"

"Ayame and Suzume aren't related to the Gensai's by blood,Sanosuke and Nakira are their parents."

"So?"

"Yahko,this is serious,their names are Ayame Sagara and Suzume Sagara,not Ayame Gensai and Suzume Gensai."

"Once again,so?It was obvious they were related."

Nakira blinked the sleep from her eyes as she felt a sudden weight on her stomach,besides Sanosuke's head that is.

"Ayame,what are you doing up?"

"I couldn't sleep.You know,you look like someone I saw when I was little."

"Ayame,where's your brithmark?"

"I'm not sure."

"It should be right here."

She touched the girl's shoulderblade.

"How-"

Nakira smiled.

"You'll find out."

At that momet Sanosuke stirred,knowing he wasn't the only one on Kira's stomach.

"Squirt,what are you doing in here?"

"Sano,she couldn't sleep."

"She can stay in here,as long as she moves."

Ayame smiled and curled up into Kira's side

Megumi sighed and locked the door to the clinic,Aoshi stood behind her,seemingly asleep on his feet.

"Wake up."

"I'm awake."

He yawned and followed her to the dojo,they found Dr.Gensai waiting outside the gate.

"Dr.Gensai,what is it?"

"You'll find out when we get inside."

Megumi quickly unlocked the gate and urged the old man inside.

"What is it?"

"You should know today's Suzume's birth day."

"Yes."

"You know when you pointed out that the girls sorta looked like Sano."

"Yes."

"Ayame and Suzume arn't my grandchildren.Their last name's Sagara."

"What do you mean?"

"He means that the two kids were dropped off on his doorsteap when Suzume was a new born."

"Thank you for pointing that out.Do you know who their parents are?"

"I said Sagara,it's Nakira and Sanosuke."
