Ch. 1
Kaoru Kamiya ran to the gate of her dojo. She could hear two men's voices just outside and one of them sounded extremely angry. Her students would be arriving soon and if there was a fight, one of them could get hurt.
"I said fight me Hitokiri Battousai!" a burly man shouted. He was at least eight feet tall with huge muscles and a grisly beard. The man he was challenging and calling Hitokiri Battousai was shorter and less muscular. He was wearing a magenta gi and had a handsome head of long red hair that was pulled back into a long, low ponytail.
"I've already told you, I do not wish to fight, that I do not," said the shorter man calmly.
"You killed my entire family Battousai! I must kill you to avenge their honor!" the burly man shouted as he charged. The shorter man easily dodged the strike and continued to talk in a calm manner.
"I apologize for any pain my former self caused you, that I do, but I am no longer the Battaousai, that I am not. I am the wanderer, Kenshin Himura, that I am. I mean you and everyone else no harm," the man named Kenshin said.
Kaoru had heard enough. The short samurai seemed sorry for his sins. She decided she had to stand up for him!
"Stop!" she shouted. "I'm sorry, but if you're going to have a swordfight you need to have it somewhere else!"
The burly man looked at Kaoru for a moment and then yelled, "You stay outta this bitch!" When Kaoru stayed where she was the burly man charged. Kaoru realized it was futile to move because the blade the burly man was wielding was so wide that she would be hit anyway. She braced herself for the blow, but instead she felt an arm wrap around her waist and move her quickly aside. Kaoru opened her eyes to find that Kenshin had moved her out of harm's way and was defending her with his sword.
"When you involve women and children you give me no choice but to fight to fight you!" Kenshin shouted. In an instant the burly man's clothes were shredded, making Kaoru turn away. "Now will you leave?" Kenshin asked with a steely tone. The burly man didn't reply, but scuttled away into the woods instead. "It's all right now, Miss. That man has gone and won't be back," Kenshin said to Kaoru. Kaoru turned around slowly when she was sure the burly man was gone.
"Thank you for saving me," she said. "I must repay you! Tell me, is there something you need?"
"Your name would be nice," Kenshin said, smiling.
"My name is Kaoru Kamiya. I'm the assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin (spelling?) Ryu. I've gathered that you are Kenshin Himura, a wanderer repenting for his sins," Kaoru said. Kenshin considered this girl. She was very perceptive if she had gathered that he was repenting for his sins.
"You are correct, Miss Kaoru. Very perceptive of you to guess my repentment," Kenshin said.
"So would you like to stay at my dojo?" Kaoru asked.
"Nani (what)?"
"Would you like to stay at my dojo?" Kaoru repeated. "If you're a wanderer then you probably need a place to stay. Think of it as my thanks to you for saving me."
"Are you sure you really wish to take a hitokiri into your dojo," Kenshin asked.
"Nani? A hitokiri?" Kaoru replied, bringing her hand to her forehead in mock search. "I don't see any hitokiris around." When Kaoru had finished looking around, she turned toward Kenshin again. "Nope, not a single hitokiri in sight. Just a wanderer named Kenshin Himura in need of a place to stay," Kaoru said with a tone of finality. Kenshin smiled.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Kaoru. Now that you mention it, I could use a place to stay as long as you let me do a fair share of the work," he said.
"Good, because I wasn't going to take no for an answer," Kaoru replied with a grin, and she motioned for Kenshin to follow her as she walked into the dojo.
