The red haired sat on one of the chairs but his eyes never left the dancing stage. He was still searching for the man they should guard.

He saw Sano dancing with a few girls on his right though he was concentrating on Megumi. He turned to the bar. There were many girls swarming there. No need to think about it… It was Aoshi… with the ninja girl.

He then looked for someone missing on the picture. He looked everywhere but he cannot find the one he's looking for. Where is she? He asked his self. He stood up and walked all over the place.

After a while, he ended up into the terrace.

There was no one there… He walked towards it and leaned on it. He looked straight to the full moon.

There are things I still cannot understand…

I still don't know how I ended up working like this…

How and why I met Sano and Aoshi…

Why I'm here now…

Where I belong…?

When would I wake up from the dream that I should not have taken…? He sighed and stood straight up… still looking on the moon.

Why does it feel so good when I'm with her? It feels like I've known her all my life. He sighed again.

Maybe I should have never run away… Maybe I should have never asked for who I am… Maybe I should have never taken this place… Maybe… I should have never thought of how to fall in love.

A boy was hugging his self to protect his little body from the darkness and rain. If you were closer to the boy, you would hear soft sobs.

There were many people walking pass by him but no one ever tried to talk to him or even went near him. He looked up. There were no tears in his eyes. He just wanted to sob. He could not cry. He would not cry. He does not cry. He will not cry… because… He cannot cry.

Someone… someone… someone… someone… The boy thought.

"Nice red hair boy." A voice came. The boy looked up and saw a tall man wearing a white cape.

"What's your name?" The man asked. It was answered by quietness.

"Are you deaf?" The man irritatingly asked. The boy shook his head.

"Then what is your name?"

"Shinta." The boy's squeaky voice answered.

"I believe you don't have any family. I would adopt you." The boy's eyes grew larger in disbelief.

"But you will have to change your name…" The boy nodded in agreement.

"Kenshin…"

"Kenshin…?" The boy mimicked.

"Himura… Kenshin Himura." The man offered his hand and the boy took it. The man helped the boy to stand up.

"Come on."

-=SAfter seven yearsS=-

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" A voice shouted. You would hear clashing of metals all over the place. "Don't be timid. Attack-Attack-Attack!" A more matured voice commanded. You could hear someone panting. "Hai!' The other one shouted.

The door to the practice room opened.

"Boys! Come get your food!" A feminine voice shouted.

"Now now. You should not shout inside this room. It echoes… It hurts my ear." A tall man said as he walked towards the woman and kissed her forehead. There was a skinny boy behind him. The woman smiled at him but he ignored her. Nevertheless, the woman kept on smiling.

The woman walked towards the little boy. She touched his long hair and arranged it. "You know you shouldn't put down your hair in practice…" The woman sarcastically said. The boy grunted as he took one of the sandwiches and bite on it.

The woman arranged the boy's hair in a high ponytail. She then removed the ribbon on her hair, which made her hair fall loosely on her back. "You have a beautiful hair." She complimented. "I know." The boy answered with no feelings. The woman chuckled as she finished doing his hair.

-=SAfter six monthsS=-

There was a funeral being held on the backyard of a mansion. A few people were crying but most of them held no reactions on their faces.

On the top of the casket, there was a picture of a woman. She was smiling. She had long black hair and a red ribbon keeping her hair in a high ponytail.

-=SAfter a monthS=-

"Where do you think you're going?!" A man's voice asked in a shouting way.

"I'm leaving this house…" Another man's voice answered.

"And may I ask where do you think you're going?"

"Somewhere far away from you…"

-=SSix years laterS=-

A young man was walking around the city. He then bumped into another person. The young man looked up to find another young man. "You should look on where your going." The other young man said smiling, he then walked away.

The next day he bumped into the man again… and the next day… and the day after that… and the day after that…

Today.

I don't want to bump into that guy again. The young man thought. He looked around and around and around. As he kept on looking around… he forgot to look into his front.

"It's you again." The young man looked up at the smiling man.

"So what? Rooster head?" He sarcastically asked. The other guy gritted his teeth. "Hey… I was wondering… Do you even have a home?" The so-called rooster head asked. "What is it to you?" The young man asked. "What do you say if I offer you a home?" The rooster head asked. The young man raised and eyebrow.

"What do you want in return?"

"Nothing… Just your company." The rooster head smiled.

"Well?"

"Fine."

"Great! My name is Sanosuke Sagara."

"Kenshin Himura." They started walking.

"By the way nice red hair."

"Thanks."

'Squeeeeak'

"This is my apartment. You may stay here for as long as you like." Sano said as they entered the medium sized apartment. The red haired looked around. "Anybody else in here?" He asked. Sano turned to him. "No one. Just you and me." He answered.

"How bout you family?" The red haired asked. "I don't have any. Anyways, Kitchen is there, Living room's here and room is thatta way." Sano pointed at every corner of the apartment and the red haired nodded.

"I have to leave for awhile. I'll be back after sunset." The red haired nodded and the door to the apartment closed.

The red haired looked around and walked towards the kitchen.

---

That night Sano came home with a surprise.

"You didn't tell me you can cook!" The rooster head exclaimed as he sat on the sofa and took most of the food form the small table. "You didn't ask." The red haired replied.

They ate.

"WOW! It's like I ate in a restaurant!" Sano exclaimed. Kenshin started to clean up the plates. He then walked towards the kitchen with the plates.

After a while he walked back towards the Living room and sat down beside Sano. "So, tell me bout you…" Sano started and Kenshin looked at him. "Why should I?" He asked. "Because I have to get to know you. After all you're living in my house." Sano answered.

"Fine."

---

"So that means you're a run away and you're five years older than me…" Sano cleared and Kenshin nodded. "I'm only sixteen but I look older than you are…?" Sano questioned. "That's because you're taller." Kenshin explained. Sano mouthed 'oooooooooo'.

'Yawn' "We should sleep."  Sano lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes. Kenshin just sat there. "Oi! Move…" Kenshin stood up. "Where to?" He asked. "To the room. Duh?" Kenshin raised an eyebrow. "I get the room?" He asked. "I really don't sleep on the room. I'd rather sleep here." Kenshin nodded and walked towards the room.

---

After a few days, everything turned out okay until Kenshin's curiosity grew bigger.

One night he followed Sano.

After that, he wished he never did follow him. "Hiko." He muttered under his breath as he peeked through the wall. Sano was talking to Hiko Seijuro… His father.

"Excuse me…" Kenshin turned around.

"Can you please tell me what you're doing?" A girl asked.

"Nothing." Kenshin replied.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"May I ask another question?"

"What?!"

"Why aren't you smiling?"

"That's none of your business."

"You know… If you smile you will really look good."

Kenshin's eyes grew bigger.

"Here." The girl handed out a rose. "I'll give this to you." Kenshin took the rose.

"So you'll remember me. I hope someday I'll see you smile." The little girl then walked away. Kenshin stared at the rose and when he looked up… he can't find the girl anymore.

He then felt a hand behind him. "What are you doing?" He turned around. "Sano." He whispered. "Are you spying on me?" Kenshin nodded. Sano sighed. "What do you say if I offer you a job?" Sano asked. Kenshin thought for a while.

"Would I travel around the world if I do?" Sano raised and eyebrow then he nodded. "Then I will." Kenshin answered and he smiled. Sano moved backwards. "Are you really Kenshin…? Where did you hide him?!!!" Sano asked.

"What are you talking about?" Kenshin asked. "Don't you dare fool me! Kenshin never smiles!" Sano shouted. "You're dumb. I am Kenshin." He replied. "Are you sure?" "Yes I'm sure."

"Then… Let's go get your job."

---

"Kenshin!" A man's voice shouted.

"WHAT?! YOU KNOW HIM?!" Sano shouted.

"Why shouldn't I know my son?"

"WHAT?!" Sano shouted.

"I'm going to apply for the job." Kenshin said emotionless.

"Fine."

"Does that mean I'm hired?" Kenshin asked.

"You're first mission will be to find this man…"

---

"So… You're telling me you were black mailed?" Kenshin asked giggling.

"It's not funny. You almost killed me." A man said.

"Sorry. Then what is your name?"

"Kenshin… Are you sure about this?" Sano asked. Kenshin smiled at him.

"Its Aoshi Shinomori." The man answered.

"I'm Kenshin Himura."

"…………………………" Kenshin hits Sano on the side.

"Sanosuke Sagara."

"First thing… We have to cut your hair." The man nodded.

---

"There. You look much better." Kenshin complemented at the man sitting in front of him. "Whatever."

"Does this mean…"

"Yes Sano. From now on he stays with us." Kenshin cutted him off.

"Aaaaaaaaaaw…" Sano whined.

"Stop whining. Now, Aoshi… from now on… you're our partner.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

"It's been so long since we all met…" Kenshin muttered to his self.

"Isn't it a little weird to talk to yourself?" A feminine voice came from his back. Kenshin turned, his eyes grew larger and his jaw dropped.
