The Wandering Child
Chapter: 1
~*~*~*~*~
A girl was walking down the street with her son when she spotted a restaurant. She went in and saw a guy with a sword in his belt. "Ms. why does that man have a sword? Aren't they against the law in Tokyo?" "Yes they are, but he is a hero in this town and a good friend of mine and I know he would not hurt anyone" the waitress replied. The girl took a seat and looked down at the table. "What's wrong mom?" her son asked. "Oh, nothing. I just hope that I can find my family again." "Hey, she doesn't look familiar. Let's go say hi." Miss. Kaoru said jumping up. She walked over to the girl and her son and said hi. "Hi my name is Kaoru. You must be new here in Tokyo." "Yes, were just dropping by. I'm looking for family that may still be alive from the revolution. I'm Miyazaki and this is my son Hitokiri. We just arrived today." "Well, how about you stay with me in my dojo while you are in town." "Are you sure?" "Yeah. It'll be fun." "Thank you. We are grateful." "Mom! I don't want to be with another girl." "Hitokiri! Be nice she is trying to help." "He sounds like Yahiko. Come sit with us for dinner. The guys won't mind." They got up and walked over to the table where Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko were sitting. "Hey guys this is Miyazaki and her son Hitokiri. They will be staying with us for a while." Kaoru said with joy. Yahiko and Hitokiri became friends quickly. Miyazaki and Kaoru talked with the guys but for some reason Miya still wondered why Kenshin had that scar on his face. She would stare at it every once and a while. "Oh, Kenshin" Yahiko began, "I think you have an admirer" he said pointing to Miya. "Moms are so embarrassing" Hitokiri said under his breath. "Yahiko you should stay out of other peoples business!" Kaoru yelled. "No, it's just the scar. How did you get it?" Miya asked. "I got it during the revolution. Why do you ask?" Kenshin had been looking at her a lot to under his bangs. He knew her from somewhere, he just couldn't remember. "It's just that not many people have scars like that" Miya explained.

Later that night Miya lied in her bed with her hands on the back of her head staring at the ceiling. She knew Kenshin and she was determined to find out how she knew him. The next day they were all sitting on the porch when Kenshin asked to talk to Miya alone. "What is it Kenshin?" she asked as they went around the corner of the building. Kenshin grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled the back of her shirt down. "Hey! What are you doing? Let go!" she yelled. When Kenshin saw her mini moon and star tattoo on her right shoulder he let her go. "Miyazaki." he said questioning her, "It is you Miya. That it is." He through his arms around her neck embracing her in a hug. She realized that it was him, her old boyfriend that went off in the war. "Kenshin. I though you were dead. I got a letter that said you were." "I wrote that letter so everyone would think I was dead when I became the manslayer, Battousai. That I did." "How am I supposed to tell Hitokiri this?" "What do you mean?" "He's your son Kenshin. You're his father." "I'm his father?" "Yes you are Kenshin. And if I know my son he is listening to us right now. He's just like you Kenshin; he has a fighter's spirit like you do." "Now I know why his name is Hitokiri. He's named after me." Just then Hitokiri came out from behind the corner with tears in his eyes. "Kenshin." he said running to him. Kenshin bent down and gave his son a big hug. "Dad." "I love you Hitokiri. That I do."

"You mean that.she's." Kaoru said. "That's what I heard" Sano replied. "There's no way. It's not possible. Is it?" "I guess so. I'm going into town missy want to come?" "That's ok Sano. I'll stay here and make dinner." 'Oh no!' Sano thought walking away. 'That must mean that... "Kenshin's MARRIED!?!" Kaoru yelled. "Oh looks like someone's jealous." Yahiko stated. "Yahiko! What were you doing listening in on us?!" "I wasn't but you yelled so loud Kenshin probably heard you from the river!" "WHY YOU LITTLE!" Kaoru started to chase Yahiko around the dojo as Kenshin, Miya and Hitokiri walked in. "Hi guys. Ow. Uhuhuhuhuhu." "Kenshin are you alright?" Miya asked kneeling next to him. Kenshin's eyes were all swirled looking at this point. "Watch where you're going next time!" Miya yelled at them. "Yahiko you'll pay for this!" Kaoru yelled.
