A/n: HI!! Catalyna is back! Sorry I haven't updated my fic. Really I am. And I thank all the people that reviewed my first chapter and told me how to spell a few of the things. I give each of the reviewers.hmm.700 cookies. I think that should do for now. Yea.

And I have a question. Since I'm new to writing fanfics I have no clue as to what a mary-sue is so if you could please tell me I'd be very grateful...*blushes* I feel so stupid for not knowing what a mary-sue is.. Oh wellz...

I only own my own made up character and no one else. Unless you are positively sure they are not in Rurouni Kenshin then yes I own them.

The Fading Wind

Weird Looking Wonderer

^_^_^_^_^_^

"Did you see her clothes?"

"No, but have you heard about her hair style?"

"Yes I have. What about he way she is always humming?"

"And the bad symbol on her back?"

"Just skipping down the streets I heard."

Sanosuke Sagara and Himura Kenshin walked down the streets of Tokyo looking for a good place to buy some Tofu. As they had walked, plenty of gossipers were all talking about the exact same thing. About a girl wandering the streets happy as a baby horse could be. Most of the talk the two guys heard was how the girls outlook was very unique and out of the ordinary and from hearing all the talk about this new girl. Sano was getting very annoyed.

"Can they talk about something else for a change?" Sano whined as another two passerby's walked by talking about the new comer to the city. He groaned in despair and did not have a very happy look on his face. "It's bad enough I'm buying Tofu, but must I hear all this damn talk about a girl wondering the streets. Lots of people walk the streets!!"

"I think you should calm down Sanosuke, that I do." Kenshin mumbled a she walked beside him. He looked calm and peaceful to the eye, but he was clearly getting annoyed at Sano's whining. "They have a right to talk as they will, that they do."

"Will you stop talking like that?" Sanosuke snapped. "It's getting on my nerves." He then slapped Kenshin in the back making him stop walking and do his legendary "oro?"

"Don't oro me. You talk like an idiot and it's annoying since I know you are not an idiot." Sano said. Kenshin look at him in confusion.

"Since when did this conversation start being about me?" He asked perplexed.

"I have no clue." Sano answered. A little kid ran by in front of them so they had to stop their walking again to stop a major collision.

"All these places sell their Tofu for too high if you ask me." Sano whined again.

"It's all in the economy Sano, all in the economy." Kenshin mumbled and continued walking down the filled up streets. The little kid that had ran in front of them early had ran by again and Kenshin's gaze followed the boy for a few seconds before snapping back in front of him. That was when he sensed someone standing behind them a little ways. He stopped walking and put a hand in front of Sano, stopping him as well.

"What is it?" Sano asked. Kenshin told him to be quiet and they turned around slowly. All they saw was the little boy running and suddenly trip over his own feet and fall to the ground.

"Ow!! Who tripped me!!??" The little boy cried and Kenshin made a move to help the boy up again, but Sano held him back. A figure in the shadows walked out revealing two kids a lot older than the little boy laughing at him. They walked up to the little boy and picked him up by his hair.

"Hey ya little twerp, I think you owe us some money." One of the older kids said holding the struggling little boy in the air. The other boy laughed.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" The little boy cried out trying to free himself from their grasp. Kenshin got ready to help the little boy if it was necessary along with Sano.

"You don't eh?" One of the older kids said laughing. "Well let's freshen up your memory." They threw the kid at a wall to one of the buildings and the kid yelled out in fright as he flew through the air. Before Kenshin or Sano could react, something ran by and caught the kid before impact, set the little boy down again, and appeared only a few feet away form the boys with their back towards them. Kenshin and Sano blinked in surprise.

The only thing that could be seen from the back of the figure was a very whacked out hairdo that looked clumsily placed on top of the head held by two chopsticks. The other thing noticeable was the figure was indeed a girl and she was wearing nothing, but black. The symbol for bad was caved in white along her back making Kenshin and Sano look even more confused.

"Hey! What gives!!?" The older boys yelled at the girls figure. The only response was the girl humming a little tune to herself and shifting her weight form one foot to the other.

"I am sorry, but if you think it is fun to pick on those who are littler than you, I will have to be sure you learn a good lesson. That I will." The girl's soft voice echoed through the air and it seemed as if all the other townsfolk had stopped doing their daily things just to watch the seen. The girl still did not face them. Sano elbowed Kenshin.

"She speaks as annoying as you do." Sano mumbled. Kenshin just "oro'ed"

"Hey! What does a dumb woman know anyway!!" One of the older kids yelled and threw a rock at her. She still didn't run around, but merrily just skipped out of the way of the flying rock as if it was nothing, but a little game.

"A woman can know lot's of things. That she can." The girl said again. Sano and Kenshin got even more confused looks on their faces. The girl began to giggle and she turned around revealing a very good looking woman with violet eyes and long black hair put up in a messy bun on the back of her head as if she only worked on it for 5 seconds tops. The two chopsticks held her hair in perfectly. And her kimono was very baggy and loose and easily moved with her every skip. A small smile graced her lips as she looked at the two older boys and pulled the younger boy behind her.

"I don't care if you are a girl!! You shouldn't speak out of line!!" One of the boys yelled and ran at her getting ready to throw a punch. The girl didn't even flinch as he brought his fist forward trying to strike her in the face.

"Wait just a second!" Sano declared and tried to intervene since he didn't think a kid should be hitting a woman that looked to be 18. Kenshin quickly held him back though.

The girl only smiled and began to swing her arms around and as the boy's fist drew nearer to her face. Her own hand flew up and grabbed the boy's fist before it hit her face and she tossed the boy over her shoulder and into a counter filled with jewelry. The passerby's gasped and Kenshin and Sano looked even more confused. And shocked.

"Please. I do not wish to fight. Now please stop harassing little children and you will not see me hardly." The girl muttered and walked off skipping to some silent beat.

"Well, that was weird." Sano mumbled as the little boy who was saved ran off to his mother and the other two older boys ran off to who knows where.

"Indeed it was." Kenshin said.

"Hey, do you know where the Kamiya dojo is?" A female voice said behind them. The boys both jumped in the air in surprise and turned around to see the weird girl looking at them innocently.

"Uhhhh... yea we live there... that we do." Kenshin said. Sano left eye was twitching as he got a closer up view of the girl and noticed she was VERY pretty. The girl looked at Kenshin weirdly for a second and then turned to Sano.

"That's great! Could you please take me there?" The girl asked. Kenshin and Sano looked at each other and then back at the girl.

"First introduce yourself." Sano said. The girl's face fell.

"Oh, I feel so rude!!" The girl exclaimed light heartedly. "I am Hirika Mitaru, a woman wonderer. Now may I know who you two are?" Kenshin and Sano immediately tried to introduce themselves at the same time resulting that Hirika could not hear a word they said.

"Uhh, I think you should speak one at a time." Hirika mumbled smiling at the two. Sano placed a hand on Kenshin's mouth shutting him up.

"I am Sanosuke Sagara and this is Himura Kenshin." Sano said. Hirika blink a few times and pointed at Kenshin.

"I think you are suffocating him." She pointed out. Sano looked at his hand and noticed Kenshin's face was blue from lack of air. He might have covered Kenshin's mouth, but he also had covered Kenshin's nose knocking away Kenshin's air supply.

"Oops." Sano muttered and let Kenshin go. He immediately fell to the ground gasping for air.

"Ororororororo." Kenshin mumbled and stood back up looking very pale. Hirika laughed.

"Well, maybe we should get you to Kamiya Dojo, that we should." Kenshin muttered. Then it hit him. "I haven't bought the tofu yet!!!" Sano and Hirika both sweat dropped, but Hirika laughed.

" I know of a place that sells it for cheep. Come on I'll show you!" She said and skipped off ahead of them. They blinked at her skipping form for a few seconds before following her.

"What a weird lady." Sanosuke muttered. Kenshin nodded his head in agreement.
