Chapter 1 ~
**********
In the middle of the forest deep in the night there stood a wanderer with crimson red hair. It was a windy night. He continue walking into the forest uncare about the darkness.
Soon the wind began to blow stronger and the sky started to cry. He walk and walk until he stopped in front of a huge dark castle. There weren't even a single light emanating from it.
He push opened the large gate and walked through the garden. His movement was so light that the only sound could be heard was the blowing wind and the hooting of the owl around the forest.
He entered the large door into the castle. He looked around it through his amethyst orb. He started to walk through the hall with long red carpet.
"Is there anybody here?," he called out.
The castle remain silent.
He continue walking until he reached a door that led to another room. He pushed opened it curiously. The room was dark the only light in the room was emanated by the burning flame in the fire place.
It was then he noticed the form sitting on a large armed chair his back towards him.
"Hello," he called out again.
The form stood and turned around startled. It was not a he it's a she. As the room was dark , he could not make out her appearance. She was not tall shorter than him for about an inch or two.
"Who are you?," she asked in a soft voice.
"I'm a wanderer. It's raining out there and I wish for you to allow me to stay for a night please," he said politely.
The lightning flashed outside the window to her right. And it was at that time that he realized she had snow white hair. But what was strange is that she doesn't seem that old by her way of standing and voice. She wore a long white gown that covered her legs making her appearance ghostly.
"Very well , you can stay in the guest room at the end of the corridor," she answered after a moment of thinking.
"Thank you very much , madam," he said with a bow as she left the room.
He couldn't help but stared at her retreating back. She was very graceful. Her way of walking was more like floating.
**********
Soon , night went and morning came.
The warm sunlight from the outside of the window shone into the wanderer's room waking him in a gentle way. He got up from the bed and got dressed.
It was then he noticed the room he was offered last night. It was very large. Too much for one person. The bed was a king size bed with curtain around it. The wall to the right of the bed or can be called as a window was all seen through and it was covered by dark red velvet curtain.
The garden could be seen from the window. It was full of white roses and in the middle of the garden was a fountain. He couldn't help but be curious of who that lady was. She looks very lonely. He wonder if she really stayed here alone.
He broke out of his thought and headed outside. He might as well thank her before he leave.
**********
He walked around the castle and couldn't help but admired how beautiful it is. There were many drawings all over the wall and there were many rooms too.
He walked and walked for almost an hour but still couldn't find her location. So , he decided to look for her in the garden.
And then there was a lady with raven black hair and pale skin in the garden. She was wearing a sky blue gown and her hair was in a loose low ponytail that reached to her hip. She was oblivious to his presence as she bend down and took hold of a white rose.
He continue staring at her. She was barely 20. Then an old lady around 50 came to her side with a smile which she returned. The old lady led her to the table in the garden for some coffee and cookies.
"My lady who is that?," the old lady asked as she pointed behind Kaoru.
Kaoru turned around and saw the crimson haired man. He blushed as he was caught staring at her. He approached them with a smile.
"My name is Himura Kenshin. I've asked for permission to stayed her last night since it was raining out there," he said with a polite tone.
"I'm Kamiya Kaoru. Come have some tea," she said with a smile that make him blushed.
So , he sat opposite of her with a thanks while the old lady left with a smile.
"May I know where is the lady with white haired last night?," he asked as she poured him a cup of tea.
She spill the hot tea on her hand immediately and winced in pain. He took hold of her hand and examined her burnt skin.
"Are you alright?," he asked worriedly.
She blushed and pulled her hand away immediately.
"I'm fine," she replied while blushing.
"So may I know where's she?," he asked again.
"Is there something you want form her," she asked in a grim tone.
"I only wanted to thank her and I'm leaving," he replied.
"Oh I see. She's the mistress here and she doesn't like to speak or talk to people in the morning and she only came out in the night," she replied while rubbing her hand.
"Please send my thanks and appreciation to her," he said while getting up.
"You're leaving?," she asked sadly.
He nodded with a sad smile.
"You can stay as long as you wish. You don't have to leave," she protested.
"I'm a wanderer and I don't belong anywhere," he replied in a grim tone.
"I'll always welcome you to stay here," she replied.
"Are you sure? you don't even know me," he said.
"A past is not important anymore and everybody had a past no matter it was sad or painful we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," she explained.
"Thank you so much Miss Kaoru," he said with a smile.
"You're welcome and please no Miss just Kaoru," she said with a giggle.
"Alright , Kaoru," he said with a sheepish grin.
