It only took a couple of seconds for Sanosuke and his new 'friend' to defeat the policeman. To Sanosuke's surprise the girl really knew how to fight and her speed was incredible.
"I think we tied." The mysterious girl said almost disappointed.
"Sannosuke grinned, "Keh, yeah right, I won and you know it."
"Whatever you say, Mr. Prince Charming." She smirked, taking her staff and placing it in a strap behind her back.
"I have a name, it's Sannosuke."
"Nice to meet you Sannosuke, I'm Lara-"
"SANO!" A voice yelled from behind them, it was Kaoru, "Why didn't you eat my food?" Kaoru asked angrily walking up to him.
"You know why, it tastes horrible." Sannosuke replied.
Kaoru's face turned red in frustration, "Then don't always come to my dojo only hoping to be feed!" She pulled out her wooden practice stick and pointed it at Sannosuke.
"Well it was nice to meet you Lara, but I have to go." Sannosuke turned around and began to run back home.
Kaoru chased after him, "Sannosuke Sagara, you get back here!"
Lara's head jerked up and she turned around in the direction that they ran off, "Sagara?" Once she turned around she couldn't find them, they must have slipped off into the crowd.
"Dang it, oh well I have to get back to work anyway." Lara shrugged and walked down the streets of Tokyo.
The next morning...
"Miss Kaoru it's time to wake up, that it is." Kenshin said opening the door to her room. Kaoru shifted in her bed.
"Miss Kaoru you need to get up. You slept in longer than you should already." Kenshin repeated walking in to her room and tapping her on the head.
Kaoru lifted her head, "Alright, I'm up." She got up as Kenshin left her room and got dressed.
"Stupid Sano, it's his fault for making me chase him all night." Kaoru clenched her fist and walked towards the kitchen, "The next time I see him…I'll give him something to really be scared of."
"Like your face?" An obnoxious voice asked from behind her.
"Ya…hi...KO!" Kaoru yelled turning around and facing a little kid with brown spiky hair, "Your so lucky I even let you stay here, you little brat!"
"I'm not little!" Yahiko protested.
"Sure you're not." Kaoru said sarcastically.
Meanwhile Kenshin was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, when Kaoru and Yahiko entered still bickering.
The red headed man turned around and sighed, "Fighting again I see. A stranger would swear you were brother and sister, that they would."
"Shut up, Kenshin!" They both yelled in unison. All the sudden someone knocked on the gate outside, Kenshin went to answer it, when he opened the large gate a tall am in a blue police suit stood in the doorway with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Good morning Saito, how may I help you?" Kenshin asked greeting him.
