The scene changes to later the next day as the girl slowly opens her eye's, hearing a loud commotion outside. Her eye's widen as she slowly sits up and looks down holding up her arm gazing at the bandages going all the way up her.

Stranger: Someone bandaged me and changed my clothing..

She mumbles outloud gazing down at her purple pants, her eye's widening as she hears yelling outside.

Stranger: Them.

She says and stands up rushing out towards the voices, pausing as she see's every one standing outside. Sanosuke reaches out his arm infront of Kenshin who starts for his sword preparing to jump in.

Sanosuke: Shinji likes this girl Kenshin, let him handle it.

Kenshin nods hesitantly dropping his hands to his side. The girl's eye's narrow and she runs pushing passed them and then runs up to Shinji leaping up behind him touching his shoulder as she leaps over his head grabbing his sword from his hands as she lands.

Every one's eye's widen with disbelief as she appears so suddenly.

Stranger: A reverse blade.

She says gazing up at it curiously as she stands and then she turns smiling as one of the men leap for her, easily she steps back dodging his attack, watching with close eye's as he continues ot thrust at her attempting to strike.

Stranger: Not so easy to hit now that I'm not drugged hmm?

She asks amusingly as she leaps up slicing the sword at the man's back, the man groans in pain as he drops to the ground.

Sanosuke: She is very agile.

He says as they watch her continue.

Kenshin: I believe she is fighting with the Reiten Hijoukeikai.

Sanosuke: Reiten Hijoukeikai?

Kenshin: It is a technique that is similar to the Hiten Mitsurugi.

Sanosuke's eye's widen looking over to Shinji curiously as one of the men come up behind her and grab her.

Shinji: Here!

He yells pulling the sheeth off his belt he tosses it for her. The girl smiles amusingly holding up the sword as the sheeth comes flying for her, the sheeth slamming into the sword, his eye's widening as she pushes off the sword on the ground flipping up. .. the man's grip on her lossening as she pushes up flipping over him, boddy slamming him to the ground. She turns looking back to the last man standing as he charges for her she leaps up kicking him hard in the face landing gracefully on the ground infront of him.

She pauses looking up as she see's another group of men standing at the doorway of the dojo, her eye's narrowing as the men approach. The girl smiles as the man leading the group steps forward.

Man: Let's go, Sakura.

He says coldly, Sakura smiles amusingly.

Sakura: I am so happy to hear that you are pleased to see me well, Aikou.

Aikou: Let's go.

Sakura: Hmm..

She says and plops down onto the ground, her fist up to her chin as if thinking.

Sakura: Go..

She asks mumbles curiously as she looks up to him with a smile..

Sakura: Now?

Aikou's eye's narrow with anger and he draws his sword striking out to her, his face growing in anger as she easily pushes back off the ground doing a back flip to her feet.

Sakura: What? You did not specify which sword you were speaking of. You merely said "the".

Aikou: I'll kill you!

He yells lunging out her, Sakura laughs and dodges his attacks. Tossing the sword at Shinji as she pauses by him, Shinji reaches out and catches it drawing it holding it up slamming it against the man's sword as he chases after her.

Shinji: It's time for you to leave.

He says coldly as he pushes Aikou back.

Aikou: Let's stop playing games now, Sakura. You've had your fun let's go now.

Sakura: Hmm.. you know... I don't think I will today.

She says shaking her head.

Aikou: Who do you think your talking to like that!

He yells angrily, Sakura smiles.

Sakura: You know what I don't get.. you boss me around like you own me.

She says and then stops.

Sakura: Well.. technically.. I guess you do but..

She says and then smiles as she walks out from Shinji taking the sword from his hand, and with great ease switches the blade and holds it to Aikou's throat. Aikou's eye's widen with fear.

Sakura: I could quite easily rip you apart. So tell me why should I continue to obey you?

She says and then turns looking over as a red headed man steps forward.

Sakura: Do you wish to die today as well? Trin?

Trin: Just come home Sakura. You've had enough amusement today.

Kenshin: I believe she said she isn't leaving.

He says finally stepping forward, Sano stepping forwarding walking behind the men. His fists clenched beside him as he gazes at the men with eager eye's.

Aikou: Stay out of this.

He says as Sakura lowers the sword and steps back, his eye's widening as she all of a sudden reverses the blade and then strikes slamming it against his chest. HIs eye's widen with pain as he clenches his chest dropping to his knee's, his sword dropping down beside him.

Kenshin: It is time for all of you to leave.

Aikou's eye's widen as he looks up to Kenshin.

Aikou: A cross shaped scar..

He mumbles and then slowly stands and then let's out an annoyed sigh.

Aikou: I will return for you, Sakura.

He says and then turns and walks away, the other's following after him. Kaoru looks after them and then runs over to Shinji and Sakura.

Kaoru: You are welcome to remain with us as long as you'd like Sakura.

She says putting her arm on Sakura's shoulder, Sakura's eye's widen as she looks over to Kaoru.

Sakura: What do you mean?

Kaoru: You can stay here, in our home.

Sakura stands there with wide eye's.

Kaoru: How about we all go inside and have something to eat? You can explain it to us over a meal.

She says taking Sakura's hand, Sakura hesitantly follows after her.

Shinji turns watching as they enter the dojo, looking over as Sano comes over and punches him in the arm.

Sanosuke: She's quite a looker eh?

Shinji: What? Uhmm.. yeah.

He says hesitantly rubbing his head as he blushes. Kenshin smiles and then starts for the house.

Kenshin: Well, might as well have lunch.
