He checked back, making sure that Satiou had went away far from him. He had crossed the forest, stopping on a town. He looked up onto the sign, which read, "Nemia". Frowning, he sighed at his own stupidity.
Why do I not know that there is this town near the outskirts of Tokyo?
It was a shabby old town which took notice to no one, the crowds was not as stuffy as Tokyo either. He strode into the town, his appearance aroused not much attention, expect for the fact that kids are always clinging onto his head for his fiery red hair.
Rolling his eyes, he walked into a dark alley, wandering around, finding to place to be stayed in, and noticed that he had been spending the last few months in the main Tokyo streets and in the forest.
Strolling about, he noticed an inn called, "Jasmine", and smiled despite of himself and his nearly broke appearance as the name reminded him of her. He lifted up his right leg, wanting to step in, only to be stopped by a soft tug on the corner of his gi.
"Oro?" he cried, confused. He turned his head back, and saw a little boy, to the age of 3 to 4, with messy raven black hair and a fine pairs of emerald green eyes that looked so welled up with tears.
Just when the boy was sniffing, going to wail, Kenshin knelt down to his height, and gave him a soft pat on the head. "Are you alright?" he asked gently, and the little boy remained sniffing.
The little boy replied, though slurry, for the fact that he was still a child, still managed to utter out some audible words. "Mama!" the boy cried, and Kenshin's world was going swirly.
"Orooooooo?" he replied, more confused for the fact that he had just called him 'mama'. The little boy jumped into his arms and cried, tears flowing freely out from his eyes. "MAMA!" he cried, again and again, while Kenshin carried him up, dispersing the thought of looking an inn, and set off for "Project Child: For Mother and Sons".

The child was still tucking asleep in his arms, while he was trudging along the streets, yelling out, "Whose kid is this?!" barely noticable, but his eyes was flecked with amber as he felt an all-too-familiar ki nearby, the Wolf of Mibu.
