Kenshin wakes up he looks around a bit it was still raining out side it was spring. Spring in Kyoto was a time of a lot of ran it rained all the time. Kenshin got up and slid the door open and started to walk down the hall then it was a little dark because of the Cloud cover. He walked down stairs and Iizuka stopped kenshin.

"Well Himura, not much to do today no order from Katsura so why not walk around a little in town." Iizuka said looking to him wondering what he going to say.

"Sure, let's get something to eat in town," Kenshin nodded once as he talked.

Iizuka smiles and turned to walk to the door Kenshin followed. Iizuka slide the door open and the rain just stopped and slowly the sun came out they walked side by side down the Road. Now that It stopped raining more people were out doing errands.

Kenshin and Iizuaka came to a small Restaurant. They walked in there was a hall and on each side there was a little room witch had a small table there was few people in there. Kenshin and Iizuaka kneeled in the frist one face to face and a young lady came to them from the kitchen see bowed her head before Kenshin and Iizuaka.

"Can I get and thing for you," she said a little nervous.

"Yes, can I get some rice with chicken and some tea?" said Iizuaka looking up at her, she was still bowing her head then looking over at Kenshin.

"Just some tea for me," Kenshin said looking out the window next to them.

The young lady nodded and walked back into the kitchen she was wearing a Blue komodo as she disappeared into the kitchen.

Another young lady walked by who was Yukishiro Tomoe. The smell of white blossoms filled the air. Tomoe was wearing a white komodo with Black hair and Dark blue eyes her hair feel down to her Waist as she slowly past by glancing to Kenshin once. She slowly left with a click of the sliding door.

"She smelled nice, like white blossoms," said Iizuaka looking over a Kenshin.

Kenshin looked back to him but didn't say anything. At that time the young lady came back out with there food and tea and set it down

"Thank you miss," Iizuaka said smiling to the young lady and breaking his Chop sticks apart.

Kenshin picked up his tea and sipped it looking over at Iizuaka. Kenshin put his tea down and slowly put his hand up to his cheek where his cut was and followed it with his finger then looks at his finger.

"I herd that a wound like that won't heal until the person will let it, so as long as you keep killing it will not heal and ever time you kill or about to kill it will bleed." Iizuaka said looking over at kenshin eating his rice and chicken.

Kenshin stayed quiet he looked at his finger a little longer then picked up his tea and sipped it then set it down and pick up his Katana.

"Let's go," Kenshin said standing and walking out of the Restaurant

Iizuaka finish quickly and followed kenshin out the door as they walked back to the Ikeda-ya inn as soon as Kenshin got to the door.

"Kenshin, Iizuaka," Katsura said standing there behind them wanting to talk to them.

Kenshin walked in front of him and so did Iizuaka and they both bowed with there head.

"Yes Katsura," said Iizuaka wondering what he wanted.

"Kenshin, I have a Politcal meeting coming up I wish for you to come along," Katsura said facing him.

Katsura was one of the leaders of the Choshu ishin shishi and was tall and had all blue on. Right behind him his body guard, Katagai was a heavy set person with a puffy face.

"I am attending a meeting tonight with Toshimaro and Miyabe. Important matters of our clans' policies will be discussed." Said Katsura looking at Kenshin

"You want me as your bodyguard?" said Kenshin right back with a snap to it.

"No, I want you to attend the meeting as my adjunct," Said Katsura right back.

"No thank you. I am your assassin. That is the only way I can serve you. If there is nothing else, I will excuse myself." Said Kenshin turning around starting to walk away

Iizuaka turned to kenshin the back to Katsura then bows then runs after Kenshin

"Hey! Come back here! ...What an obstinate attitude! How dare he repay your kindness with that kind of response!" said Katagai yelling at Kenshin

"Let him go," said Katsura with a soft voice.

"What, but he Insulted you," Katagai said back to Katsura.

"Don't worry about it," he turned and left and Katagai followed

Kenshin walk into the Ikeda-ya inn and to his room from yesterday and sat down in the corner looking out the window he slowly feel asleep dreaming of his past.
