AN: Ok, I would like to thank WhiteRabbit5 for the tips! They were helpful! Thanks a lot!

Chapter 2: Sister?

"Is there any relation to Hajime Saitou?" Kaoru asked her curiously. Katana had a shocked look on her face.

"Yes, I do." She said after a few moments.

"What kind of relation?" Sanosuke asked.

"She's my sister." A cold voice said.

Everyone's eyes widened out of shock, including Katana's. She whipped around and stared up into the cold amber eyes of her older brother. She gasped. It was almost as if time had stopped as she stared into eyes so similar to hers. Only his eyes were narrow and cold, while Katana's were large and sad. It seemed like no one was breathing, and it was completely silent. Hajime's features were almost the same as they were when Katana was eight. Only now he had much shorter hair.

Why would he cut his hair? Honestly, the world would be better if people had their hair long. 'Then again, my hair's short, too.' Katana thought matter-of-factly. Katana mentally shook herself from those thoughts and back to her brother. "Hajime." Was the only thing she could say. He nodded.

"Katana." He stated.

They just stared at each other for a few minutes until Sanosuke said, "Hey Saitou, I thought you lived in Kyoto."

"Well, when you haven't seen your sister for ten years, you start to wonder where she is." Saitou stated. (I'm going to call him Saitou, since I don't think saying Hajime sounds as good. And I'm just going call Katana by her first name.) Katana had a confused look on her face, which made Saitou smirk. "I was told you were seen on the outskirts of Tokyo, and I needed to make sure for myself." He said to her. Katana then noticed the police uniform he was wearing, and her eyes widened as she backed away.

"You…you're not going to-"

"No, I'm not going to arrest you, don't worry." Saitou said to his younger sister. Katana gave him a confused look.

"Y-y-you're not?" she asked, apparently shocked. Saitou shook his head and leaned forward. He whispered something to her that the others couldn't hear. Katana's eyes widened, and she smiled what looked to be a relieved smile. Everyone looked at the two siblings strangely, but they shrugged it off.

"Well, I never knew you had a sister, Saitou." Kenshin said. Saitou just shrugged and took out a cigarette.

"My family is no one's business except for my own, Battousai." He said as he lit the cigarette. "But tell me sister, why are you in Tokyo?" Saitou said to Katana. She smiled.

"Oh, I just needed somewhere that is nice and peaceful." She said brightly. Saitou's eyes narrowed for a moment.

'She still hasn't gotten over the past yet.' He thought to himself. "I see." He said after a moment. His sister nodded, putting on fake enthusiasm. 'She has improved on hiding emotions, but her eyes tell me otherwise.'

"Yeah! Although from what I've seen so far in Tokyo, I don't think I should have picked it for a peaceful place to stay." She chuckled a little.

Katana hadn't noticed that Kenshin, Yahiko, Kaoru, and Sanosuke were staring at her and her brother with shocked expressions. Katana had a bright smile on her face all the time (only Kenshin and Saitou can tell it's fake), and Saitou had a cold expression on his face.

'How can they be related?' they all thought at the same time.

A bell seemed to go off in Katana's head. "Come to think of it, I don't think I caught your names." She said in a polite, sweet voice as she turned to the group of friends. They all kind of smiled.

"My name is Kaoru Kamiya. I am assistant master in the Kamiya-Kashin style. And this is my student, Yahiko." Kaoru said brightly. Yahiko grunted.

"I could have told her what my name was, you know." He said while glaring at her. Kaoru just glared back, and Katana sweat dropped. She looked at the other two.

"The name's Sanosuke Sagara." Sanosuke said with a small smile.

"And my name is Kenshin Himura." Kenshin said politely. Another bell went off in Katana's head.

'Himura? As in, Himura the Battousai?' she thought in shock, but still kept her happy expression on her face.

"Well, it's very nice to meat you all." Katana said brightly. Saitou just stood there, looking somewhat irritated.

Kenshin's POV

Kenshin noticed that there was something that seemed to really bother Saitou, but he didn't know what. It couldn't just be the fact that they were in the same room. It had to be something else, but what?

Saitou's POV

Saitou absolutely hated what he was seeing. 'She's changed.' He thought to himself. 'Just like you, Battousai. Katana truly has changed, and a little more than I would prefer.' He shook his head for a moment. Katana was one of the greatest assassins in all of Japan at age seven, and now…it was hard to even imagine her as a fighter. It almost disgusted Saitou at how weak his own sister had become. 'Perhaps I can bring it out of you again, Katana.' He smirked slightly. 'Perhaps.'

Ok! That was really awful, but I don't care at the moment! I will probably wake up tomorrow, and think of about fifty different things I could have done to make it better. Oh well! Please review! I like to know what people think, and how I can improve my writing!
