Kenshin walked across the backyard, his arms full of clothes. He hung the clothes of the clothes line and hooks them with wooden pins. He looked over at Karou and Yahiko and smiled, as they continue their fight.

"Stop telling me what to do, ugly!" Yahiko yelled.

"Ugly? I'm your teacher! You're supposed to obey me, brat!" Kaoru shouted, whacking Yahiko with a wooden sword on the head.

Kenshin shook his head and continue to hang the damped clothes. Sano walked by, with a fish tail bone in his mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Sano said, "How childish."

Yahiko and Karou faced Sano with an evil glare. Sano looked down at them and smirked. Yahiko and Kaoru quickly pulled out wooden weapons and started beating Sano.

"How dare you call us childish?" Kaoru yelled, beating Sano with a wooden sword.

"Yeah, how dare you!" Yahiko said, whacking Sano with a wooden thick stick.

Sano was getting beatings, but he laugh through it all. Kenshin looked over and then, his eyes turned wide.

"Oro?" he said, a question mark floating above his head.

"Man, you people are really funny," a voice said, above Kenshin's head.

"Oh?" Kenshin said, turning around and looked at a girl who was sitting on the fence, "Who might you be, little girl?"

The girl scowled at Kenshin.

"I'm not little!" the girl shouted, jumping down and faced Kenshin, "You might be like..." as she measured herself to Kenshin, "8 inches taller than me, but it doesn't mean I'm little!"

Kenshin smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."

"Hey, shrimp, who are you?" Sano said, biting on his fish tail.

"My name is Mitsuki Akane. I'm here to get revenge!" the girl answered, with bravery.

"Revenge? On Kenshin?" Kaoru asked, stepping forward with a worry look on her face.

"Kenshin Himura, you're going down!" Akane said, narrowing her eyes at Kenshin.

"This one has no need to fight a little girl like you, Miss Mitsuki Akane," Kenshin replied, continuing to hang the damper clothes.

Akane growled and looked at Kenshin for a few moments. She took a step towards him and disappeared and reappeared in front of him.

"I guess you didn't here me correctly," Akane said, "I didn't travel here from Kyoto to get a present. I'm here for revenge."

"But, this one just met you and no need to fight either way," Kenshin answered staring down at Akane.

"Argh… shut up and fight!" Akane shouted, jumped at Kenshin.
