Disclaimer: I do not own RK. Wouldn't it be nice if I did though. ^_^

Sorry for not updating in such a long time, I haven't had much time on the comp lately. Gomen.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Present time)

"Yahiko." Karou's voice drifted out into the still morning. "Get back here."

"No way." He shouted back.

Kenshin looked up from doing the laundry and smiled. Life was peaceful now.

Sanosuke wandered in and walked over to Kenshin.

"Hey, you hear about the murders of the big businessmen? They say that a lot of business men have been murdered during their illegal dealings."

Kenshin looked up. "Really?"

"Yea, Katsu (sp?) has been looking into it. For his newspaper, you know. He say's that it's all been done by one person. This 'Death Angel' or something. He also said that it's a girl. She supposedly has short back hair with two long strands in the front. She has green eyes, and is about 5'5". She uses different weapons to kill her victims, but mostly uses a dagger."

Kenshin looked at Sano strangely. "A dagger?"

"Yea, and weirder still, it's engraved."

"Does Katsu know her age."

"He said that she's like 17 or 18. Also he found out that she has her next target picked."

Kenshin stood up, looking grim, and started to walk out.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Sorry Sano, but there's something that I must see to. Can you finish the laundry for me?" He walked away.

"Wh..what?" Sano looked after him. 'Dang him. Why do I have to do the laundry.'

Karou came around the corner. "Sanosuke, where's Kenshin?"

"He said that he had to go out. I don't know where."

"Oh."

Sanosuke looked at her. "Okay I'll explain." He told her the same details that he had told Kenshin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (meanwhile)

Kenshin finally reached Katsu's place.

"May I come in?" He called.

"Sure."

They talked for a little bit, then Kenshin was off again. This time he headed towards the police department. There he talked to the chief, before heading out to yet another destination.

Green eyes glittered, as their owner looked out over the sea of people. There! She spotted her target, and took off.

Suddenly she was stopped by a had on her shoulder.

"It's been a long time. Hasn't it Saya?"

She turned around in disbelief. "Y...you.
