Rurouni Kenshin does not belong to me. Akemi, Mitsuko, Ran, however do belong to me. Thank you for your positive feedback everyone. I'm glad you're enjoying this. ^_^ And to think, this is my first Kenshin fic too.

~Chapter 6~
They ate their meal peacefully, not a word said throughout it. Only to ask for a second, or in Mitsuko's case, third helpings. Yahiko took a moment to talk to Ran after dinner, just to see if there was anything he could do to help.
"No, nothing," She said. "I'm going to ask Kenshin, to see if this is true." He nodded.
"Good luck," He said. She smiled and hugged him, then walked outside to find Kenshin in deep thought.
"Umm, Kenshin?" She asked shyly. Kenshin looked at her.
"Yes, Ran?" He asked. "You know you can tell me anything." Yahiko remembered hearing those words, he listened in further.
"Kenshin, I don't want to seem rude or anything, but what is your full name?" She asked.
"Kenshin Himura," He said.
"I thought so," She said, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Ran? Ran what is it?" Kenshin asked, looking rather worried.
"My father was, Hitokiri Battousai, Kenshin Humura," She said, looking down. Kenshin gasped and looked at her.
"Are you certain?" He asked.
"I am certain," She said, nearly ready to cry. Yahiko's heart sunk, he felt terrible. What if Kenshin rejected her? What would happen to her then? Yahiko couldn't think of anything but the negative side of this.
"Well, you are correct, that is who I am," He said. "Years ago I had a lover by the name of Akemi and the two of us had a little girl together. We named her Ran." Her head shot up at this. Her mothers name. His lover? So it was true. "I had to leave, I was called into the Revolution and couldn't back down. I spent my last moments with my baby girl, then left. Hoping to someday see her again….and here you are." Her eyes were full of tears. Kenshin smiled and held his arms out to her. She practically threw herself at him and cried.
"Father! I found you! I finally found you!"
"And I have found you, that I have," He said. He himself was practically crying. Kaoru watched everything from afar and couldn't believe what she had seen. Was Ran really Kenshin's daughter? She hid herself and closed her eyes. Kenshin meant more to her than anything…and he was a father? This surprised Kaoru a great amount. She sighed and went back to bed, she couldn't bear to see anymore.
"Father, I missed you so much," Ran cried into her father's chest.
"As I have miss you, that I have," He said and rubbed her back.
So, Yahiko was right. The past, the sword, everything," She said.
"Yahiko informed you?" He asked.
"That he has. He told me everything I had wanted to hear," She said. Yahiko smiled to himself. He was quite pleased that she and Kenshin had reunited. He was glad that she found what she was looking for. Yahiko took a peak at the two and went off to bed. Going to sleep knowing he had done a job well done.
Kenshin couldn't believe that after all these years his child was in his arms, weeping away her sadness and her relief. He couldn't believe how much she had matured. How beautifully she had grown. Now being able to see her grow up. Her first kiss. Her wedding. Everything. He was now able to see everything he wanted to that he thought he'd never be able to before. He was in relief, he was in joy, he was finally in peace. Although there were still matters between Sanosuke and Mitsuko, he would settle that sometime in the afternoon. He couldn't and wouldn't allow Sanosuke to go off saying that the child wasn't his without proof. Although there was no proof to be shown, Kenshin would find it. He would do everything in his power to make it work out and happen.
