Chapter 1: Prologue
Soujiro stood at the gate, hesitating, unsure. Should he knock? He cautiously looked at the house in front of him, searching for the man he was waiting for. After a year of wandering, he had decided to ask Himura Kenshin for further advice.
"Hey!" Soujiro came out of his thoughts, looking up in surprise. A boy of about 10 or 11 stood there, a wooden sword in his hands.
"Who are you?" the boy asked suspiciously, then noticed the sword strapped to Soujiro's waist.
"Go away, Kenshin's not here!" he shouted. Kenshin stuck his head out of the house, looking around.
"What is it, Yahiko?" The boy, in a panic, pushed Kenshin backwards.
"Go back, it's dangerous!" Kenshin fell to the ground, letting out a sound that sounded like "Oro!"
The boy, Yahiko, Kenshin had called him, turned and pointed at Soujiro.
"Go away! Leave! We don't want you here!" Soujiro smiled and bowed, then turned and began to walk away, calling out,
"Yes, of course. Farewell, Mr. Himura."
Yahiko blinked in confusion. Was the swordsman really going to leave them? Kenshin stood up, brushing himself off. He put a hand on Yahiko's shoulder.
"Don't worry." He removed the hand and called out Soujiro's name, who turned around, stopping.
"Please come in, Soujiro."
"So, Soujiro, why are you here?" Kenshin inquired, sipping at his tea and waiting for a response.
Soujiro shifted in uncertainty. He had come all this way to ask, but now that the moment came.
"Sessha was wondering. If you. Had any more suggestions. I've been wandering for a year, but I still can't seem to find. What I'm looking for." He said slowly, watching Kenshin.
"Well, I-" Kenshin was cut off as Kaoru ran in, beaming.
"Well, Soujiro, maybe if you stay here a while you'll find what you're looking for! Oops." Kaoru said, then covered her mouth, looking at Kenshin.
"I'm sorry Kenshin, all Yahiko told me was that there was a samurai in here talking to you, and I was worried, so I decided to watch and make sure you were alright, I didn't mean to-"
"It's alright, Kaoru-dono. I understand." Kenshin said, smiling at her. He then turned back to his guest.
"Well, Soujiro. Welcome to the Kamiya dojo."
