CHAPTER 1
It was very clear night, the stars shined over Tokyo; it all seemed quite clam and quiet. Yet there were those who did not want to be quiet.
"C'mon Kenshin let's go for a walk!" A cheerful girl with blackish-blue
hair demanded and she grabbed the man with flaming red hair arm, who was
standing next to her.
"Kaoru-Dono, it's a little late." The man said, moaning a little
She dropped his arm, sighing, looking slightly displeased "SO? C'mon
Kenshin!"
Kenshin sighed "Okay, only a short walk."
"I'm coming too!" A boy's voice said, a boy voice which the reconigzed,
his voice made the girl frown, seeming like he had interupted something
speical.
"Yahiko, you so should be in bed de gozaru." Kenshin said, patting the
boy with dark messy hair on the shoulder.
"I don't need to be! I bet there will be thugs to fight off!" The boy
said aniouxsly.
"Yahiko! Stop being so rash!" Kaoru said, looking a bit cross with him.
"I'm not listening to you ugly." Yahiko said folding his arms.
"N-NANI?!? How dare you call me that!" She shouted grabbing his shirt.
"Calm down you two!" Kenshin said nervously, Kenshin turned to Kaoru,
smiling. "Now let's go on our walk Kaoru-Dono."
"Don't forget about me." Yahiko said grinning.
"I guess there is no getting rid of you." Kaoru said as she started to get her angry eyes.
The night was very clear and Kaoru really wished Yahiko wasn't there. She wanted to be alone with Kenshin. "Oh well, I'd probably just make a fool of myself in front of him anyhow." Kaoru thought as she looked up at the starry sky.
"C'mon guys! Let's find some thugs!" Yahiko said.
"Yahiko! Stop it!" Kaoru said, slightly annoyed
"Well then I'll challenge you!" Yahiko said pointing his wooden practice sword at Kaoru.
"Yahiko, not now!" Kaoru said getting more annoyed. Yahiko charged her, she ducked and he hit Kenshin instead. (At this point he wasn't paying attention.)
"OooORrrO!" Kenshin said weakly as he fell over.
"Kenshin you Baka! You could have easily dodged that!" Kaoru said as she grabbed the front of his shirt and shaking him.
"Oh Kaoru-Dono, I am sorry de gozaru." He said scratching his head and laughing. Kaoru let go of him and smiled.
"Well let's continue." As he got up and she began to walk again Kaoru tripped over Kenshin and fell on his head.
"Kaoru-dono please get of my head." Kenshin said politely.
"Sorry" Kaoru said blushing as she backed off. Kenshin got up, brushed himself off and offered Kaoru his hand, causing her to blush more.
"Now let's continue our walk." Kenshin said kindly. "Okay Kensh..." Kaoru started to say, yet her awkward yet slightly romantic moment was interrupted by Yahiko.
"Hey I think I hear a fight!" He said.
"Probably just some drunks." She said as she saw Yahiko running towards the sound.
"Wait Yahiko!" Kenshin said running after him.
"You Baka! Get back here Yahiko!" Kaoru yelled as she ran after Kenshin. They kept running until an arm stopped them. It was Yahiko.
"Shh! Look!" he whispered. There was a bunch of thuggish looking guys and girl that looked ready to fight.
"Why don't you just give us what we want? We will have to kill you if not." One said.
"I can't let anyone possess what has been in my family for years!" The girl said angrily.
"Oh well, we will have to kill you." Another said. At first the girl looked nervous, yet she seemed to brush it off and said with a confident smile; "Then go ahead and try."
"Shouldn't we help?" Kaoru asked, seeing as it was on girl against quite a few thugs.
"Mattaie." Kenshin said. One man came towards the girl she put up a fighting stance grabbed him and flipped him over then she kicked him. It seemed he'd be down for a while.
"Seems like she knows how to fight." Yahiko said, looking surprised.
"But how long do you think she can keep it up?" Kaoru asked. Another man came after her with a knife , but she swiftly kicked it out of his hand and hit him in a place that must have been a pressure point because he was down. The man that spoke first charged at her with a sword she dodged it a few times, but she soon yelped out with pain and looked down at her left arm, there was quite a wound. So she started to run towards Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko. Two men blocked her and she hit them and continued to run. She wasn't really looking were she going and she ran straight into Kenshin.
"Gomen!" She said quickly getting up again, as she flew off down the
street.
"Kaoru, take the girl to Megumi's." Kenshin said.
"Hai!" Kaoru said
"You too Yahiko!" Kenshin said. Yahiko was not very happy, he tried to complain, but Kaoru grabbed him and ran.
The girl heard them saying this as she looked over her shoulder and yelled"Why are you helping me?"
"That's just what Kenshin does, he protects people without killing anyone." Kaoru said almost dreamily, catching up to the girl.
"Why couldn't I fight, damn it!" Yahiko said.
"Oh a cute boy-chan like you fight? That would be dangerous!" The girl said looking worried.
"CHAN?!?!?" He yelled "I AM A GOOD FIGHTER!"
"Oh, Gomen." The girl said looking embarrassed. Kenshin soon came running towards them.
"Oi! Kenshin!" Kaoru yelled. "That took you longer than I expected."
"Oh, I was tried de gozaru!
"Wait did she just say Kenshin? Does she mean Himura Kenshin? The Battasoui? It can't be!" The girl thought, looking puzzled.
"Well we have to keep going to Dr.Gensei and Megumi's." Kenshin said, looking toward the girl.
"How's your arm?" Kaoru asked, walking toward her to see the wound better.
"It will be okay." She responed, as she pointed to the gash on her arm. Kaoru said they should hurry on their way to Megumi's. Once they reached Megumi's there was only one light on, so they knew they had to be quiet.
"Megumi? Dr.Gensei?" Kaoru asked quietly so she wouldn't wake anyone, but loud enough somone that was awake would hear.
"What are you doing here so late? Oh dear Ken! Nice to see you .. But you're rather late." Megumi said. "Oh who is this? A patient? Follow me young lady." Megumi led the girl over too the futon. The others followed, it took a while to fix up the girl's wound, and she just had a sling in the end. "All I can say is this girl should not use her left arm, and should get some rest, by the way, who is this girl?"
"I don't know." Kenshin said.
"Yeah tell us who you are." Kaoru said.
"Oh well umm my name is Midori Ishida and I'm sixteen.." The girl said. "And who are you all?"
"I am Himura Kenshin." Kenshin said. Midori looked surprised. "Wait...he is Himura.is he really the battsoui? I want to ask..but I can't." They all introduced themselves.
"Well where are you from?" Kaoru asked.
"I'll tell more about me in the morning..I'm tried. Do you know any where I can stay?" Midori asked.
"Well you can stay at the Dojo with us." Kaoru said. "If you like you can become one of my students of the Kamiya Kashien style, now I'll have yet another student!"
"Well err. arigatou, but I can't give you anything in return...oh wait! Yes I could! I could give you one of my paintings to sell." Midori said
"Oh we could use that Midori-san." Kenshin said.
"Perfect! More Hot pot and money for the dojo!" Kaoru said.
"Well the Iijima clan is after my clan.well what's left of my clan, I can't stay with them to long, but I can't tell them yet, I need to sound like I'm going to stay so they don't think I'm suspicious" Midori thought.
So they said good-bye to Megumi soon left and headed home. Yahiko looked over at Midori, he thought she wasn't attractive, she was wearing a red gi- like outfit (a Gi is the kind of outfit people in karate wear, but it had pretty ruffly edges) she had pale skin, slivery, with a tint of green, slanted cat-like eyes and hair, which was purple, yet it was so dark it was almost black which was in two buns, and it was very straight, yet quite messy all around her face. Her face looked almost childish, yet in a strangely distant way. She was about Kenshin's height, and she looked somewhat strong. She also had a very large travel pack on her back
They soon arrived at the dojo and everyone seemed to be getting along. Yahiko didn't say much because he was couldn't believe that Midori thought he was a little weak boy.
"Well good night Kenshin-san, Kaoru-san and Yahiko-chan." Midori said, smiling a little.
"DON'T CALL ME CHAN!" Yahiko yelled.
"Sorry." Midori said, she grinned and said. "It's just your so cute." She patted him on the head.
"N-NANI? Well your not even cute!" Yahiko said angrily.
"HEY! YOU BRAT!" she yelled "Ne-ne!" he taunted as he pulled his bottom lid down and ran around saying "Un-cute!" as she chased him around calling him a wimp.
"Doesn't this remind you of first took Yahiko as a student?" Kaoru asked.
"Hai, they already act siblings, de gozaru." Kenshin said. Midori was still chasing him. She soon tripped on a floor board and fell on her face, her legs went over and her foot was on top of her head. Here eyes were rolling around and she looked rather amusing.
"HAH HAH HAH!" Yahiko laughed, he soon fell over from laughing. Midori got up and kicked him.
"Ouch. Why'd you have to kick THERE?" Yahiko asked, crouching over as he walked over to his futon. She smirked and patted him on the sboulder. "That's what ya get." He glared at her as he threw the blanket over himself. They all soon settled down and went to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sanosuke slammed open the gate and broke some of it. "Heh heh heh, better not let Jou-chan see this." He thought looking at the already falling apart dojo. "Doubt anything exiting will happen today, well unless Kaoru finds out I broke her door." He slowly headed over to the dojo.
" 'Morning everyone." He said
"More like afternoon." Yahiko said chuckling.
"Usarsai." Sanosuke said looking down at him.
"We are getting hot pot today, wanna come?" Kaoru asked.
"Sure, but where are you getting the money?" Sanosuke asked. Just then Midori came running out.
"Kaoru-san, Kenshin-san, Yahiko! Here is your painting to sell for hot pot!" She said running with a picture of an Edo castle. Then she tripped again. She looked over at Sano, she was embarrassed, being a klutz in front of someone she found attractive.
"You all right Midori-san?" Kenshin asked.
"Heh heh yes, clumsy me." Midori said, luaghing, as she rubbed the back
of her head.
"Who's this? Sanosuke asked.
"This is Midori Ishida she is Kaoru's new student." Kenshin said "And this is Sanosuke Sagara."
"Hi." Sanosuke said, sounding bored.
"Err Hello! Nice to meet you! I uhh have to go do something!" Midori said covering her very red face and running outside. "I am such a goof! In front of a great-looking guy too!" Yahiko soon came out to get Midori .
"Sano is coming too, is that okay?" Yahiko asked.
"Hai, it's fine." She said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So Kenshin who is that Midori girl?" Sano asked when Kaoru, Yahiko and
Midori were selling the painting, well Kaoru was selling it, Yahiko and
Midori were arguing, yelling so that some people passing looked at them,
the were being quite loud.
"She appears to be a painter...but we found her with some thugs and threatened to kill her if she didn't give them a "scripture". She got hurt, and we finished off the thugs.that's why she has the sling. She knocked a few people out, so apparently she is trained in martial arts. She said she'd give us some paintings to sell in order to stay at the dojo. She said her name was Ishida, so she may be part of the Ishida clan I used to know. Hopefully she will tell us a little more about herself today." Kenshin said.
"Hmm, sounds like it may be trouble." Sano said, Kenshin looked over too him and nodded in agreement.
"Kenshin! Her painting sold for more than we thought! We can go get Hot pot another day!" Kaoru said as Yahiko and Midori ran up behind her, still arguing, Midori had him in a head lock and she was yelling something about how he'd never get a girlfriend because he was so rude to ladies. He then told her she wasn't a lady, she was just an ugly girl. She hit him very hard. Kenshin, Kaoru, and Sanosuke luaghed at them a bit.
"Kaoru-Dono, you should put the rest of money towards fixing the dojo, de gozaru." Kenshin said, laughing nervously.
"I know, speaking of damage the gate was damaged SANO!" Kaoru said angrily.
"OI! I didn't mean to!" Sano yelled sounding somewhat annoyed.
"Well you can work around the dojo to make up for it." Kaoru said.
"NANI?!? I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!" Sano yelled, at this Midori and Yahiko stopped their bickering and looked up at him, curious about what was going on.
"Well I don't care, you're going to." Kaoru said. Sano grumbled
"Kuso, I need to be more careful." He thought. They walked for a while,
Sanosuke and
Kaoru were arguing, so where Yahiko and Midori, Kenshin just looked
emmbrassesd, but
they got to Akebeko sooner then they expected.
"Oh hello everyone!" Tae said. "Oh a new friend? I'm Tae, and you are?"
"Midori Ishida, nice to meet you." Midori said, smiling at Tae.
"Nice to meet you too." Tae said smiling. She led them to a table. Midori
sat next to Sano, blushing a little as she did this, Yahiko looked over
at her and snickered at her, she gave him a warning glare.
"Today Tsubame will be serving you." Tae said. "She needs the practice."
"T-tsubame?" Yahiko said blushing.
"Heh heh Yahiko has a little crush!" Midori said.
"Yeah, it's pretty funny." Sano said.
"I bet so." Midori said, resting her chin on the table, smirking at
Yahiko, in a tuanting way.
"URASAI!" Yahiko said. It was not very long when Tsubame began to serve the hot pot.
"Oh, hello Yahiko and Minna-san." Tsubame said blushing.
"Hi Tsubame." Yahiko said. Sano nudged him grinning. Midori brust out laughing everyone looked at her like she wasn't quite sane.
"Oh Tsumabe, this is Midori." Kaoru said, pointing to the girl who was trying to keep her laughing down a bit.
"Hi Tsuambe, nice to meet you." Midori said still chuckling a bit.
"Hello Midori." Tsumabe said cheerfully. "Well umm I have to go, would you like some more tea? Tsumabe asked.
"Oh yes please." Yahiko said.
"Okay, nice to meet you Midori-san." She said running off with the tea pot.
"Yahiko, you haven't even taken a sip of tea." Kenshin teased. They all laughed. Midori kept on looking over at Sano. "What wrong?" Sanosuke asked, looking at her quizcally.
"Oh umm nothing ah hah hah.. sorry." She said blushing, as she sratched her head.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all had quite a quiet lunch, they were pretty full, and they found out that Midori, ate quite a bit. So, they said good-bye to Tae and Tsubame, and left to go home.
"Well see you guys later!" Sano said.
"I don't think so!" Kaoru said as hit him over the head.
"OI! What was that for Jou-chan!" Sano said rubbing his head. "C'mon..do
I really have to?"
"NO! Your fixing that gate!" Kaoru nearly yelled.
"Oh and when we get back Midori-san will tell us more about her self." Kenshin said. Midori looked surprised. "Will they still let me stay?" She wondered.

"I don't need to be! I bet there will be thugs to fight off!" The boy
said aniouxsly.
"Yahiko! Stop being so rash!" Kaoru said, looking a bit cross with him.
"I'm not listening to you ugly." Yahiko said folding his arms.

"Hi Tsubame." Yahiko said. Sano nudged him grinning. Midori brust out laughing everyone looked at her like she wasn't quite sane.
"Oh Tsumabe, this is Midori." Kaoru said, pointing to the girl who was trying to keep her laughing down a bit.
"Hi Tsuambe, nice to meet you." Midori said still chuckling a bit.
"Hello Midori." Tsumabe said cheerfully. "Well umm I have to go, would you like some more tea? Tsumabe asked.
"Oh yes please." Yahiko said.
"Okay, nice to meet you Midori-san." She said running off with the tea pot.
"Yahiko, you haven't even taken a sip of tea." Kenshin teased. They all laughed. Midori kept on looking over at Sano. "What wrong?" Sanosuke asked, looking at her quizcally.
"Oh umm nothing ah hah hah.. sorry." She said blushing, as she sratched her head.

They all had quite a quiet lunch, they were pretty full, and they found out that Midori, ate quite a bit. So, they said good-bye to Tae and Tsubame, and left to go home.
"Well see you guys later!" Sano said.
"I don't think so!" Kaoru said as hit him over the head.
"OI! What was that for Jou-chan!" Sano said rubbing his head. "C'mon..do
I really have to?"
"NO! Your fixing that gate!" Kaoru nearly yelled.
"Oh and when we get back Midori-san will tell us more about her self." Kenshin said. Midori looked surprised. "Will they still let me stay?" She wondered.
