I do not own the characters, except for the unfamiliar ones!

The Beginning

A woman is running down the street, three big men running not much further behind. She runs as far away from them is possible, but they always seem to catch up. She runs into a train station and jumps onto one train that is about to leave. The train starts up and starts heading out of the station. She sticks her tongue out at the three men as the train passes them by.

Kenshin is walking down the street with Yahiko at his side. They are walking home from the market with tofu and some rice. As they walk to the front door of the Kimiya Dojo, Miss Kauru bonks Yahiko over the head with her wooden sword. "Yahiko, where were you? You were supposed to clean the hallway this morning! Why did you go with Kenshin instead," Kauru says questioningly. Yahiko runs into the house and gets his wooden, which was leaning against the wall by the door. He immediately goes back outside and gives Kauru a huge his over the head. "Take that Kauru," he yells while hitting her. After he is finished hitting her, he throws his sword to the ground and tackles her. At that moment, Sanosuke walks in and asks, "what's for dinner Kauru? I'm hungry!"
