Chapter Three
Kenshin looked at her "Very well, Shinzou-dono, how do you know that name?" Shinzou blinked, "What name?" Kenshin looked at her "The name Shinta... how do you know that name?" "I told you... the other day, that's my brothers name. I also told you that I'm looking for my older brother Shinta... why do you want to know how I know that name so badly?" Kenshin looked a little taken back, but then composed himself, and nodded then looked at Shinzou. Shinzou stood and looked at the river, and said, "I hope I find him... I don't have any memories about him...I was just hoping that I could find the last of my family." she sighed and looked at Kenshin and smiled softly. Kenshin, knew that this girl really was Aki... he couldn't believe it, his little sister had come looking for him, all this time? Kenshin put a hand on Shinzou's shoulder, when she turned to face him, she felt her self being pulled up against Kenshin, in a warm embrace. Kenshin hugged his little sister, and held her close whispering, "Aki, it's really you... I thought that I would never see you again..." Shinzou wasn't very sure what was going on, but... it felt so reassuring to be held by this man, that she finally just gave in and hugged him back loosely.
Kaoru, had noticed that Kenshin wasn't at the dojo, she to try and see where Kenshin was. She went by the Anebeko and talked to Tae who said that she saw Kenshin take off with a red haired girl. Kaoru blinked 'A red haired girl?' Could it be that one girl, from a week or two ago? She gave a quick thanks to Tae, and took off, to look for Kenshin. She was finally ready to give up when she was walking down towards the riverbanks. There she saw Kenshin and that one girl from about a week ago. He was hugging her! Kaoru felt a big ping of jealously about Kenshin hugging that girl. She stalked over to him to find out what the meaning of him hugging this girl.
Kenshin didn't realize the problem that was stalking towards him. He put his little sister at arm's length, and looked at her. She looked almost just like him, small in build, red hair, and a sharp mind. He smiled softly at her, "Aki, how old are you now?" She blinked, and then smiled. She liked that name, "I'm nineteen." He hugged her again, "you've gotten so big, from the last time I saw you," he ran a hand though her long mid-back length hair. He smiled gently at her, and she returned his smile, "Shinta, is this really you? Have I finally found you?" Kenshin nodded and then said "I'm known as Kenshin now, not Shinta, I haven't gone by that name since I was very young...So, Aki, call me Kenshin, not Shinta." She blinked, "Ken- shin?" she smiled "I like it, ummm... Kenshin, do you know that you have someone coming up behind you, and she looks really mad." Kenshin turned around to see Kaoru coming at him. "Kaoru-dono, I can explain that I can!" He tried before she could get him.
Kaoru blinked then stood, and looked at Kenshin, "Okay, explain..." Kenshin pulled Shinzou to his side, and put an arm around her waist. "Kaoru- dono, I would like you to meet my little sister, Aki. Aki, this is Kamiya Kaoru, she's a swordsman ship teacher, for the Kamiya dojo." Kaoru looked at Shinzou, "I thought that your name was Shinzou?" Shinzou smiled, "I was going by that, but I think I'll just stick to my real name. Aki," she smiled up at Kenshin, "Ne, Kenshin may I have your last name too? So then I can really be your little sister again?" Kaoru looked at Kenshin, he looked at Aki with and looked as if he was going to cry, and then she saw that he nodded. Aki smiled and said, "Himura, Aki... I like it. How about you Kenshin?"
Kenshin looked at her "Very well, Shinzou-dono, how do you know that name?" Shinzou blinked, "What name?" Kenshin looked at her "The name Shinta... how do you know that name?" "I told you... the other day, that's my brothers name. I also told you that I'm looking for my older brother Shinta... why do you want to know how I know that name so badly?"
