"Good Morning Saito, how may I help you?" Kenshin greeted the man. Saito took the cigarette out of his mouth, threw to the ground and stepped on it with his shoe.

Yahiko came running out of the house, trying to escape Kaoru, "Hey look its Saito." He said. Kaoru came chasing out of the house and whapped Yahiko on the head.

"Ooowww!" He whined, "What did you do that for, ugly?"

Kaoru whapped him again, "Be respectful to your sensei. Hey is that Saito?" She said looking over to the gate.

"Isn't that what I just said."

"Shut it, little appetence."

Yahiko face turned red, "Little!?"

The policeman raised a brow at the young woman and the little kids bickering, "God, how do you live in this house? Anyway I came to ask you a few questions."

Kenshin smiled, "Ok, why don't you come in and have some tea?" He said stepping out of the way to let Saito in.

Yahiko and Kaoru followed Kenshin and Saito into the living room. Kaoru served the tea but as usual Saito refused. While Kenshin sat Saito stood up and leaned against the wooden walls.

"Have you ever heard of Jerui Urushia?" Saito asked crossing his arms.

"Wasn't he a general for the Revolution in Shinshu?" Kenshin replied.

"Yeah he was, but last night he was murdered."

Kenshin's eye twitched slightly, "Wasn't he supposed to be strictly under watch by the Meigi government? Any general who participated in the Revolution are protected for life, to prevent any plots of revenge."

Saito smirked, "Well obviously it didn't work. What's weird is only he was killed, but the guards guarding him were merely knocked unconscious." Saito reached in his pocket and brought out his small notebook, "And the only descriptions of the culprit the idiots could think of were; a man at least six-foot-one, long hair pulled up in a pony tall and very skilled with a sword, sound familiar?"

Kaoru slammed her hand on the floor, "Don't tell me you suspect Kenshin!"

Saito returned the notebook back into his pocket, "Please, seems the Battosai has lost his killing abilities. Also there is the fact that the weapon used to kill Jerui was not a sword."

"What do you mean not a sword?" Yahiko asked.

"You see when a sword cuts through anything, it always leaves ridges but in his case the blade didn't leave ridges. No it was done with a thinner blade, but still a strong one. It was the cleansed cut I have ever seen."

"Hm. Saito if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to see the scene for myself. Maybe I could be of some assistance." Kenshin replied.

"Sure why not but I have a pretty good idea of who it was so you wouldn't be much help." Saito answered.

"Well if you have a good idea on who it is then why don't you arrest him?" Yahiko asked.

Saito sighed, "Sees how much children know. The law is the law kid, I can't just go arresting people. Says the 'People's Rights' thing and nothing has confirmed yet."

"I'm not a kid." Yahiko exclaimed.

"Save it, if you want to come lets go." Saito left and began to walk towards the gate, Kenshin followed.

Kaoru ran after them, "Don't get him into any trouble." She yelled.

Kenshin waved back, "Don't worry I'll take care of him."

They both walked on the paths that lead to the market area.

"I was talking about you, Kenshin." Kaoru thought.

Hi everyone what's up? I'm interested in hearing who you guys think the daughter's father is. And who you hope it is. This won't change where I'm going with this but just checking.
