Chapter 2
To Wake a Rurouni
"No! I won't let you take her!" A young Kenshin grabbed the coat of a tall man of whom he could not see his face. "I'm sorry kid, but you're much to young to take care of her." "But mother told me to take of her!" "I'm sorry." "Well, then take me with you!" "I told you. We can only take care of her." The man said as he gruffly pushed Kenshin away. He landed in a mud puddle. "No!" He sobbed as he banged his fist against the ground. He watched through teary eyes as the man carried away a little baby girl.
"No. No. No!" Kenshin gasped as he awoke with a start. It was night. He was back at the Kamiya dojo. He got up from his futon and slid the door to the balcony open. There he sat down, his dark red hair swaying ever so slightly in the cool night breeze. "Why?" he thought, "Why do I keep having that dream?"
The sun shone brightly in the morning haze. Karou stretched her arms and yawned. "Uh, morning already?" She asked to no one in particular as she got up to go and make breakfast.
As she walked along the balcony toward the kitchen she froze. There sat Kenshin, head bobbing up and down, obviously he was sleeping. She smiled ever so slightly as she tiptoed by him. "He's so cute when he's asleep." She clasped her hand to her mouth with astonishment that she could have ever even thought such a thing. "Oh, well." She sighed. "At least it's the truth."
"Karou, when's breakfast?" yawned Yahiko as he rounded the corner to the kitchen. "Whoa! Kenshin! Why are you still sleeping?" exclaimed Yahiko. "Yahiko!" Called Karou. "Leave him be." "Yeah right! Like I'd miss this opportunity." Yahiko said to himself with a devious smile as he rubbed his hands together with glee. "A chance like this, to wake up Kenshin, is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and it comes along only once in a great while."
One Hour Later:
"Kenshin, c'mon!" Yahiko sighed. He'd tried everything but he hadn't gotten Kenshin to wake up. "He's one deep sleeper!" Sano laughed from his position at the gate. "Hey Sano, now that you're finally here, why don't you try to wake up Kenshin." Yahiko asked. "With pleasure." said Sano. He cracked his knuckles as he walked up to Kenshin. "Here goes!" With that he wound back his arm and threw a punch straight at the rurouni's face.
Kenshin's eyes flashed open in time to see a fist coming straight towards him. Next thing he knew he was lying on the floor, with that swirly look in his eyes. "Sano!" Karou scolded. "You were supposed to wake him up, not knock him out!" "Oops!" was all Sano could say.
After breakfast Kenshin said he was feeling a little bit better, but when he stood up he started swaying back and forth. Karou pulled him back down to the ground. "Oh no you don't mister. You're staying right here until you regain you're balance." Kenshin sighed with a smile and knew there was no pushing the subject with Karou.
Sano and Yahiko laughed at Kenshin about how one measly punch could put him in such shape. Karou glared at them. "If you guys are so happy, why don't you celebrate and go do Kenshin's chore for him. We need some more rice and things in town. Here's the shopping list and some money. I'm sure you guys can at least handle a simple of task as this."
Yahiko groaned as he left with Sano to go to town. "Thanks for nothing, Sano." "What? What'd I do? You were the one that asked me to wake him up. They way I see it it's more your fault than mine." "Oh, yeah! Let's see how you like this!" Yahiko took out his shinai and started whacking Sano with it. "Ow. Ow. Ow! You little twerp! I'll get you for that." Then Sano chased Yahiko all the way to the market.
The train hissed to a stop. Steam rose as Kaiya quickly exited the station. She figure that Tokyo was a good a place as any to start her search.
