Inside the little black sedan was a big man, his name was Horu Kamiya. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard and the neon green digits glared back at him. 11:30 the clock said. He sighed and ran a big, calloused hand through his chopped black hair.
He was about four hours late, and he had promised his fourteen year old that he would eat dinner with her. He would have to explain that one of his patients had started hemmoraging again after surgery.
But that was twenty minutes away.
Bright lights flashed in his rear-view mirror, making him turn it. They flashed again and he slowed down so they could pass. When they got along side of the sedan, he could see that it was one of the newer Elexis models, one he had never seen before.
They rammed him toward the right, and he swerved back onto the road, barely missing the drop-off. "Hey!" He screamed at the driver. But it swerved and hit him again, knocking him off of the road, down a slope.
He swerved around trees and through undergrowth, but he didn't see the tree around the bend. He saw a bright flash and knew no more.

Kaoru Kamiya was always a quiet child. She didn't have any friends, and she didn't like the few people who approached her So she stayed alone.
When she got to school that morning, noone noticed that anything was wrong. At least, not until it was too late.
The class was silent as the teacher wrote notes on the board.
Kaoru sat in the back row, her long silky black hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore a black wife-beater sleeveless tee, a pair of jeans, and a long black trench coat. The guaidance councelor came in and took the teacher out into the hall and the class ruptured into talk, several objects were flung airborne by the jocks across the room. Kamiya ignored all of this and began to sketch out a picture.
"Miss Kamiya? Can I see you out in the hall?" Mr. Tamiyaka asked, stepping in.
Kaoru stood, taking her pad with her. She didn't trust the class, so she kept her scant few belongings with her when she left.
"Kaoru, we're sorry. Your father was found, dead, this morning in his car on the road to your house." The guidance councelor said.
Kaoru stared at him for amoment. 'no.' she thought. 'No. now i'm alone again. i don't want to be alone!' she screamed inside of herself. Outside she just said "Oh." and walked out into the pouring rain.
"Miss Kamiya may not be joining us for a while. Her father has been killed in a car accident." The guidance councelor said, before walking back out of the class to stand in front of the double doors at the front of the school to watch the tiny raven haired teen mourn over her father's death.
----
Kaoru sat, slowly swinging as the rain dripped from her hair and splashed onto the black leather-bound notebook. Her diary of art is what her father had called it. She closed her eyes and tilted her hair up toward the sky. She would not cry. Not here.
She spent the next day at the funeral, accepting the condolances offered by her father's colleagues and her mother's friends. They tried to talk to her about a foster home, but she ignored their offers and pleas.
Finally, a little red haired boy about her age stumbled over to her. He still had the hospital identification braclet on his wrist when he kneeled before her. "My name is Kenshin. What's your name?" He asked, politely.
startled by this, she told him her name. He smiled warmly at her, his eyes a warm violet. then they changed to a cold, violent, gold, "I will find and punish those that did this." He swore to her. "And i will protect you."
She was warmed by his promises, but.."You don't need to." She said, dismissing it.
"But I will." He said, before moving to her side, he wouldn't go.
Kaoru forced herself not to smile, as she forced herself not to cry.
She heard their whispers. The ones that said she did not care. He was her only link to life, and now he was gone.
