Prologue: A Normal Morning

Vary Early Morning – Location: Unknown

A tall man sat in a house next to a fire. Another man sat on another chair next to him. The tall man shifted his position. "The Treasure of Haikejo is enormous, beyond anything you cloud imagine. You won't regret your decision to help me. Have you sent someone?" The other man nodded. "Yes, I sent someone a few hours ago. He should be there in less than two hours." The tall man laughed quietly. "Do you think he can succeed" The other man set his sake on the table between them. "I have no doubt he will accomplish his goal." The tall man grunted happily at the response. "I hope so, for your sake, and his."

Yahiko Myojin sat up on his cot, and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Walking over to the window he took a deep breath. The morning air was nice and cool. The birds were singing their melodious tune. And the sounds of people going about their business, was there as usual. It was a perfect morning. After getting dressed he headed down to get something to eat. Preying all the while that Kenshin was making something good. And that busu was not cooking again.

Kenshin sat out in front of the dojo stirring a pot of miso soup when Yahiko emerged from the dojo. "Good morning Yahiko. Did you sleep well?" Yahiko nodded. "Yeah, I guess so, you?" Kenshin nodded smiling. "That I did. Say, have you seen Miss Kaoru yet this morning?" "Nope." Yahiko said shaking his head. "She can have the cold leftovers, let's eat!" Kenshin handed Yahiko a bowl. Yahiko began inhaling the soup. "Be careful Yahiko, you should not eat so fast, that you should not. You will make yourself sick."

A few minutes later Kaoru emerged from the dojo in her usual attire. "Good morning Kenshin, good morning little Yahiko." Yahiko despised being called little; however he just pretended to ignore it. A few things had changed since he was a kid. He could control his temper. And Sano no longer stayed in his apartment. He moved to a town a few days away.

"Hey Kaoru," Yahiko grinned. "We left you some." "That we did," Kenshin agreed. "You can have the cold leftovers." Kaoru glowered. "Vary funny. Since when are you involved in Yahiko's madness Kenshin?" The red haired man turned and gave Yahiko a smile. "Oro!" Kenshin yelled as a stick bounced off his head. "You two can go into town and do some shopping!" Kaoru yelled.


Well. There's the Prologue! More to come soon!
