Anime_angel123: Yo people!

Murasaki.hi.

Anime_angel123: If you know any of my other fan fics, (Firefly and Fox, The Shadow Cards..ect.) I've just got done with an EVIL report for History and over the summer, my stupid Internet was down so I apologize for the late updates.

Murasaki: Like anyone would actually read your crap.

Anime_angel123: throws a pillow at Muasaki For the last time, SHUT UP! Do you do anything except make fun of me?

Murasaki: Yeah, I have to keep all your muses in line. You'd go fan fic crazy if I didn't

Me: True.

Murasaki: DISCLAIMER: anime_angel123 doesn't own Rurouni Kenshin and I don't think she ever will, so don't sue. She doesn't have enough money buy a set of Rurouni Kenshin, Real Bout High school, Yu Yu Hakusho and other anime.

Me: But I'm saving for em!

Forgotten Past

Chapter 1: Arrivals in Tokyo

Hmm. Aoshi and Saitou haven't arrived yet. It usually doesn't take that long to get here from Kyoto. Kiara thought as she went through yet another pile of paperwork that was meant for Saitou to fill out, but Kiara had to take the liberty since the higher-ranking officer wasn't in due to his trip to Kyoto. Kiara had followed and listened to the conversation between the police officer and the former captain of the Oniwaban group and stealth fully returned before either of the men could. She didn't want to raise any suspicions to who she really was, so when she applied for her current job (Police office, second in command only to Saitou/Fujitaka) she used the name Sen Takara, though she preferred her own much more than the childish name she had come up with when she applied for the job.

~Flashback~

Saitou flicked away his cigarette and stared at Kiara, who was getting a little irritated. "You start tomorrow." THANK KAMI! I managed to get a job that doesn't include cooking every minute of every hour I'm at work! Kiara felt like hugging Saitou, but didn't out of fear of what the former third captain of the Shinsengumi would do to her. She had to be very careful not to the Hiten-Mitsurugi style or the sukuchi, so she decided not to use anything that was even close to either one of them.
"Yes sir." She managed to force out before turning to leave. She was stopped as the officer mumbled. "Wait." Kiara turned around and eyed the captain. "Yes, Fujitaka-sama?" She asked. Kiara watched in curiosity as Saitou reached into a closet. He emerged from it with a blue uniform, similar to his, and a katana. "Here is your uniform and your katana." He said, handing them to her. "Arigatou." Mumbled Kiara as she bowed and left the police station, her uniform tucked under one arm.

After that, it didn't take long for me to climb up in rank, Kiara thought as she rubbed her writing-cramped hand. Even Saitou was impressed with my skills. Kiara chuckled to herself as she remembered Saitou's face after a brawl she had settled in one of the local bars. I'll never forget that look; he was on the verge of shock and laughing at the same time. As Kiara filled out the last of the paperwork, she heard voices in the main office. One she recognized off the bat was Saitou, but the second one he hadn't heard since the revolution. Is that Aoshi? She thought as she went to see if her suspicions were correct.

"Your sure she'll be of help?" Aoshi asked the middle-aged officer. "Yes, I'm sure. She's the best when it comes to tracking criminals and whereabouts of kidnapped politicians." What makes you think she'll be able to track Kodachi? Aoshi thought as he prepared to meet the highly trained police officer that Saitou had told him about. As he heard footsteps, Aoshi's hand automatically went to one of his kodachi swords as if he was prepared to fight. But, his grip loosened as he saw a female with sleep- deprived blue eyes dressed in a similar blue pants and jacket as Saitou.

Saitou turned to greet Sen and noticed she looked very tired. "Are you covering both of our shifts?" He asked as he remembered that Sen's shift was directly after his own. Saitou shook his head as Sen nodded. "Not a smart thing to do." Sen nodded. "I know I'm never doing that again." Saitou felt like laughing, but suppressed the urge and turned to Aoshi who seemed to be staring at Sen with an eyebrow raised. "This is Sen Takara, she's the good tracking officer I told you about. Sen, this is Aoshi Shinimori. He'll help us track down the Kodachi."

Sen had been practically frozen in place the moment she saw the leader of the Oniwaban group. She hadn't seen him in such a long time that she never told him her little fetish over him was over but she still considered him a friend. She was so nervous that all she could do was nod as Saitou introduced them. "So, do any of you have a basic description of her?" She asked as she took out a piece of blank parchment and a pencil. She looked at Aoshi and waited for him to give a description of her as he remembered.

Aoshi paused for a moment. He had been busy studying Sen that he hadn't paid attention to anything else. He closed his eyes, and just like many other times, he had mental pictures of her floating through her mind. "She's as tall as the Battousai, her eyes are usually violet, she also has red hair and a scar like her brother's decorates her right cheek. She always wears a black yukata that's similar to her brother's." Sen raised an eyebrow. "Brother?" Aoshi nodded. "Maybe you haven't heard her real name, Kiara Hitokiri Kodachi Himura."

Kiara almost froze. He still remembers my full name. She pretended to sneeze as she tried to get her hand to recover from the shock. I can't believe he remembers all that. It's been ten, maybe eleven years since I've seen him last! She finished writing down a description of herself and looked back up at Aoshi. "Do you know anyone that's come in contact with her?" she asked, feeling odd to ask someone if they had seen her. Aoshi nodded his head and Kiara got a knot in her stomach. "Who?" She asked, dreading the answer for she knew whom Aoshi would probably mention. "Kenshin Himura, the Battousai."

Anime_angel123: Does that qualify as cliffhanger? Cause if it does, I didn't mean for it to be.

Murasaki: Dude, YOU NEED TO WRITE LONGER CHAPTERS!!

anime_angel123: ALL RIGHT!!!! For all those people who don't like short chapters, I won't post the next one until it's at least three pages long, which SHOULDN'T take too long.

Murasaki: Yeah it better not.

Anime_angel123: IT WON'T. People, PLEASE R/R. PLZ!!
