Chapter 2: A Meeting In The Market
Suruka smiled as she walked down the streets of Tokyo. She was following Sanosuke and his new band of friends. It seemed that, after his embarrassing defeat, he had decided to become friends with the Battousai. That was fine with Suruka. It was easier to follow both of them that way.
She had begun to track the Battousai, or Kenshin Himura, when he had made his permanent residence at the Kamiya Kashin Dojo. Then, when Zana or Sanosuke Sagara had challenged the Battousai to a battle, she had decided to follow him too. After all, it wasn't every day Suruka found someone with her same name, and Sanosuke looked familiar.
"Hey, Kenshin," said Kaoru, the lady who he lived with, "I think we need some more fish. And look at these. They're fresh."
"Awww! Not more fish! You get ugly eating fish! No wonder you're so ugly!" Yahiko taunted his teacher.
"Who are you calling ugly?" Kaoru shot, "You should really have more respect for you're elders, Yahiko!"
"Ugly! Ugly! Uuuuuuugly!" Yahiko danced out of Kaoru reach as she grabbed for him.
Somebody chuckled behind them "It's funny how you think these idiots can hide you, Battousai."
Kenshin turned, looking for who had spoken. But all he saw was a young girl walking away.
"Hey! It's you!" Sano suddenly yelled, startling Kaoru and Yahiko out of their fight. The girl kept walking. "Don't just walk away like I'm not talking to you!" Sano ran after the girl, "Hey!" He reached out to grab her shoulder, but suddenly the girl wasn't there.
"What?" Sano gasped. Kenshin narrowed his eyes. The girl appeared a little farther up the road. Sano was tempted to go after her, but Kenshin put his hand on Sano's shoulder.
"Let her go," he said.
Kaoru and Yahiko ran up to the two men. "Who was that, Sano?" Kaoru asked.
"Nobody," Sano rubbed the back of his head.
Yahiko looked at Sano, puzzled. 'Who was that girl and what connection does she have to Sano?'

"Oh, hello Kenshin," said Doctor Gensai when they returned from market, "There was a girl here to see you earlier, but I told her you weren't here right now."
"What did this girl look like?" Kenshin asked.
Doctor Genkai thought for a second, "She had long black hair tied in a high ponytail with a red bow. She was a little taller than Yahiko and she looked like she was about thirteen. She was wearing a light purple kimono with a blue bow."
"What did she want?" Sano asked.
"She just wanted to know if Kenshin was around. I told her no, but he would be soon if she wanted to stay and wait. She thanked me for the offer but said that she didn't want to wait. Then she left," Dr. Gensai looked at Kenshin and Sano's grave faces, "Is there something wrong."
"No," Kenshin said and smiled, "I'm fine."
"Uncle Kenny! Uncle Kenny!" two toddlers voices called. Ayame and Suzume ran down the steps.
"Hello little Ayame, little Suzume," Kenshin bent down to greet the two girls.
Sano walked away from Kenshin and the others. He needed to be alone for a little while and get that girl off his mind.
"My name is Suruka Sagara..." Sano shook his head.
'How can that be?' he thought, 'Surely that girl was killed when the Imperialists murdered the Sekihoutai. There was no way she could have survived. Nah, I'm just bein' fool. It's just coincidence.' He looked out beyond the fading sun, 'But maybe it's not.'

KK: I know, for an episode of RK, this would be longer than 25 minutes, maybe. But I'm never very good at short stories. Well, review plz.
