"I will as you again, Katsumi. Why are you here?" Kenshin asked Katsumi.

Katsumi stayed silent. Kenshin sighed, then when out of the room and left Sanosuke to watch her.

"It's no use, she won't talk." Kenshin told Kaoru.

"I thought she was going to be a girl in danger, and now my lucks changed." Yahiko mumbled to himself.

"You shouldn't let yourself down Yahiko, she may come around and forgive kenshin.." Kaoru said to Yahiko trying to make him fell better.

"But she is trying to get revenge for her master Shishio." Yahiko said. "How can she ever forgive Kenshin?"

"This one will find a way." Kenshin said smiling at Yahiko.

"Thanks guys. I'm going to go to sleep now."Yahiko said getting up and heading towards his room.

Sanosuke and Kenshin took shifts guarding Katsumi all night. In the morning Miss Kaoru gave katsumi some of her rice balls, which Katsumi didn't like but ate anyways. After katsumi ate, Kenshin decided to talk with katsumi again.

" I killed Makoto Shishio for a good reason."Kenshin said to katsumi.

"BUT Makoto Shishio was like a father to me NO ONE CAN REPLACE HIM!!" Katsumi screamed at Kenshin. Katsumi started to cry. Kenshin left the room and left Katsumi alone by herself to think awhile.

"Aren't you going to get Sanosuke to watch her?" Kaoru asked as kenshin came out.

"There is no reason, she just needs sometime alone, I promise you she won't escape." Kenshin said as Kaoru and him went to a room.

"Did you figure out why she is here, Kenshin?" Kaoru asked Kenshin.

" Yeah, she did come here for revenge. She said Makoto Shishio was like a father to her and no one could replace him." Kenshin said.

"Oh. I'm so sorry for the girl. But what has been done has been done." Kaoru said.

After kaoru and Kenshin had a long talk they went to sleep, Sanosuke and Yahiko also went to sleep. But in the middle of the night Yahiko got up and went to the place where they are keeping Katsumi tied up.

"What are you doing here?" Katsumi asked Yahiko.

" I've come to release you." Yahiko said." As long as you don't hurt Kenshin and the others, I will let you free."

" A deal, I won't hurt them I promise." Katsumi said lying to Yahiko. Yahiko untied Katsumi. Katsumi gave him a kiss then ran out and down the road to a store.

Yahiko was surprised that Katsumi gave him a kiss, but he was sure that he would never see her again. This was his first kiss and he would cherish it.
