people who gave reviews.
CHAPTER TWO
"Kenshin! There you are!" Kaoru said gratefully. She and the others had been looking for him for the past ten minutes, "There is someone I want you to meet."
"Oro?" Kenshin said as he turned around with a bucket of water that had been drawn from a well, "Who is it?"
"This is Kanna. She works with Misao at a shop nearby and she is going to stay for awhile." Kaoru said as Kanna stepped out from behind Kaoru and Sanosuke. As Kenshin looked into her eyes he could see her fear and rage fill her heart like no other. It was so strange that it confused him.
"Are you okay Kanna-chan?" Kenshin said, still confused.
"Yes, I'm fine." Kanna said. Suddenly she felt a strange feeling, joy. She had never felt that since before her brother had been murdered before her very own eyes, by the Battousai. "Can I talk with you alone, Mr. Himura?"
"That you can." Kenshin replied. "We'll be right back Miss Kaoru."
"Okay." Kaoru said as she 'herded' Sanosuke and Yahiko into the dojo.
"You wanted to talk with me?" Kenshin asked as they passed the cherry blossom trees. Some of the small petals fell to the ground, while many of them landed into Kanna's hair.
"Wh.why did you have to kill my brother?" Kanna asked while trying to keep calm but her sorrow for the loss of her brother slipped out. Tears slowly began to form on the rims of her eyes.
"Who was he?" Kenshin asked concerned.
"He." Kanna then started to cry, "He tried to help our father..he went into the line of.of.fire." as she dropped to the ground, the petals in her hair slowly landed on the ground.
*Kanna's flashback*
"Brother." said a small girl, who was hiding in a tree with her brother, "Where are you going?" Her brother was slowly, and quietly climbing down from the tree.
"I have to help father, Kanna. If I don't, he might die." He said as he looked at her.
Tears started falling from Kanna's' eyes, "I don't want you to die though!"
"Don't worry," he said, "I'll come back, and father will be with me." He smiled, and jumped out of the tree, and ran over to where his father was fighting.
Kanna heard some slashing, and saw flickers of light. She decided to jump out of the tree, and hide behind a bush. When she did, she saw small drops of blood fall. She saw her brother and father lying dead, with a man over her brother. He had strange red hair, and it looked like he was closing her brother's eyes. Then Kanna looked at the man's sword, it was covered in blood. Then the man got up, and walked away. Kanna ran over to her brother's dead body and started crying on it.
*end flashback*
Kanna sat on the ground, still in tears. Kenshin sat down right next to her, "Kanna-chan, I wasn't the one who killed your brother."
"Wha-?" Kanna said. She lifted her head and wiped her tears away.
"I remember that night clearly," Kenshin said as he looked up at the sky, "I was fighting against a man whom killed your father and brother. After I killed that man, I went to check to see if your brother was still alive. He wasn't, so I shut his eyes and left."
"So-so you really didn't kill them?" Kanna asked. For, she didn't know if what he said was true or not.
"It's all true. Now, finish wiping your tears, and we will head back, that we will." He got up and helped Kanna up. Suddenly, Kenshin lost his breath. He looked down and saw Kanna, hugging him.
"Thank you for not killing my brother." she said. She brought her arms back below her shoulders, and started running back to the dojo, "Kenshin," she said, "come on!" She laughed. This was the first time Kenshin saw her do so. He smiled, and followed her back to the dojo.
