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.

Although not was all well. Kenshin and Ran's peace wouldn't last for long. Oh, not at all. In Kyoto laid a group of men gathered in a dojo, discussing manners of Kenshin and reminiscing about the day of Akemi's death. Two young men, both looking around Kenshin's age. Twin brothers to be exact. Both with black hair and crimson eyes. One had a long scar along his leg as the other hand one across his arm, like a band of jewels.
"Did anyone ever find that pipsqueak of Akemi's?" Kiyoshi asked. His brother, the one which held the battle scar across his leg looked up at him.
"That was years ago, what makes you recall that now?" Katashi asked him.
"Nothing, it's just that there had been word that the little girl was seen with the Battousai at a local dojo. She might say something," Kiyoshi responded.
"She would have said something long ago," Katashi said. "I don't know why we hadn't killed her when we had the chance."
"She escaped before we could do anything, she was long gone," Kiyoshi said.
"But still, we could have gotten Minoru to catch her and kill her on sight," Katashi said.
"Minoru? Yea, I guess he could have handled that better than we could, huh?" Kiyoshi inquired.
"Yea, I suppose," Katashi said. "Well, all we can do now is travel to Tokyo and kill the girl."
"What about the great Hitokiri Battousai?" Kiyoshi asked.
"We'll be in Yokahama long before he'll realize she's even gone," Katashi cackled as he poured himself a saucer of sake, sipping it as there was an evil grin plastered on his face. Kiyoshi chuckled at this and sipped his green tea ever so slowly.
"When shall the kidnapping proceed?" He asked.
"One night, when they're asleep," Came the response. "Battousai won't know what hit him."
Ran woke up, still in her father's arms. She smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. Something she had wanted to do for so long. She slipped out and went to go to the market to get fruit and other necessary things for their breakfast. Ran wanted to pay Kaoru back for all of her hospitality. While walking to the market, she had time to observe the scenery. She wanted to become a swordswoman more than anything.
"What was that style father was said to use? The…Hiten Mitsurugi?" She wondered. Ran wanted to learn her father's technique, know what it's like. Then there was Yahiko's style of fighting, the one Kaoru taught. "The…Kamiya Kasshin?" She thought about both, then decided it was her father's style of swordsmanship that she wanted. Ran soon reached the market and bought the food with the money that she stole. She knew it was wrong. But, it was for a good cause, to feed her friends and family. She smiled and put the food into the bag she carried around, soon running back to the dojo and then sliding the doors open to put the food away.
Kenshin woke up to hear rustling of a bag and walked into the dojo. He wondered how his daughter got the money, then it hit him. The money she stole.
"So, you did my chore for me?" Kenshin asked. Ran jumped, then turned around.
"Your chore?" She questioned.
"Miss Kaoru always has me fetch breakfast, then cook it, that she does," He said.
"Oh," She started. Then paused. She just couldn't wait any longer. "Father…can I ask you something?"
"What do you want to ask me?" He asked.
"Can I learn the Hiten Mitsurugi style, like you? Please?" She asked, nearly pleading.
"Ran, you wish to learn the Hiten Mitsurugi style? Are you sure?" He asked.
"I'm very sure, father. I want to learn swordsmanship more than anything," She said.
