Author notes: Hey thanks to all those reviews! Keep up the good work!

Personwithnoname: thanks for reviewing I had completely forgotten about my stories; I had been working on a couple of character drawing for a new story of mine.

Falling For You: Hey thanks for reviewing, I hope you understand the story even though you don't know the anime. Lots of love.

Tempest Dragon: Oops! Lol. Sorry about that. I'll check my spelling better.

GB: Thank you I just thought I think out of the box and I came up with this.

Niala: I'll try to update as soon as I can.

Jing–Jing, Angel of loneliness, Brittanie Love, What a Scene, and Doctor Kiba: Thanks!!

Sailor Tiamat: Sorry if I confused you with that I didn't put much thought into it because it wasn't a big part of the story. Kaoru was born around there so the townspeople already knew she was part of the pack, she was the only one to escape when they attacked the pack. Does that make sense?

Rebylion: Thanks so mush for reviewing hope to read a story from you soon!

Chapter 3: Kyoto

Ever since Enishi's attack, Battosai and Kaoru had been traveling. The mention of shishio had made Battosai very distant to her. No one had spoken all day and Kaoru grew more annoyed at each passing hour. I've been alone for so long. Now I have finally found another werewolf and he won't talk to me!

Battosai sensed Kaoru's ki flare. "You don't have to come with me." He growled.

"I want to."

"Why?"

"Shishio destroyed my family, I want revenge," and with that she stomped off in front of him until she came to a clearing. Stopping suddenly she looked around in confusion; she then turned to him and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Baka," he muttered before walking up to her. "For your information we are going to Kyoto. I have some friends there who can help us find Shishio." As he said the he observed their surroundings. "We shall rest here for the night."

Kaoru laid down in a comfortable spot of grass then watched Battosai move to the nearest tree and sit down, keeping a firm grip on his kantana. Kaoru listened to the wind blowing through the trees before falling into a deep sleep.

Silence was all Battosai heard when he woke up the next morning. Still half asleep he stretched out his sore muscles. I got to stop sleeping propped up against a tree! A waterfall was faintly heard to his left and trudged off to take a quick bath. As he walked through the dense forest he felt as if he had forgotten something, and as soon as he reached the riverbank ha found out what.

Kaoru had woken up before Battosai, feeling dirty after sleeping on the ground. She headed towards the waterfall she had heard the night before. Creeping quietly as to not wake the hitokiri, she snuck out of the clearing to take a bath.

Battosai stood on the bank completely shocked. There was Kaoru waist deep in the river, her back facing him. He could feel himself blushing, so he quickly turned around and ran back into the woods. The hitokiri reached the clearing fast, his heart thumping hard in his chest. I know something was different this morning. I'm glad at least she didn't see me, who knows what she would do. Battosai sighed; she couldn't get the picture of Kaoru out of his head. She is very beautiful, her long raven hair, ivory skin, and azure eyes made her look like a tennyo. Even her eyes were azure. He was knocked out of his thoughts when he sensed Kaoru coming, and for the first time inn his life he felt very uncomfortable.

Kaoru sat down next to him and begun to pull her wet hair up into a ponytail. She noticed he was very tense, and wondered why. "You know I never got your real name, Hitokiri Battosai is just a battle name."

"Himura Kenshin." He said quickly.

"So when are we going to reach Kyoto, Kenshin?"

"As soon as we finish breakfast, we can change form and run the last ten miles."

Kaoru looked around then cocked her head. "What breakfast?"

Kenshin pulled two large pieces of dried meat out of his gi.

After chewing the meat, Kaoru grabbed her small backpack of belongings and changed into a drappa. Turning around with her backpack in mouth she met a slightly larger dragga with a reddish- brown coat. Kenshin pointed the way with his muzzle; he took off running with Kaoru close behind.

A few hours later Kenshin and Kaoru arrived in Kyoto. After changing forms in the forest so not to scare the townspeople, they headed to an inn called Akahoshi. It was dark and loud inside, the perfect atmosphere for assassins. Many narrowed eyes watched to pair while they walked through the crowed to a group of people in a corner. As they came to the table, a short girl with a log braid of raven hair, and bright sapphire eyes turned to them. "You're late Himura!"

Kenshin didn't say anything; he grabbed a seat and sat down next to a tall man with black hair and ice blue eyes.

Kaoru spotted an extra seat and sat down next to another guy with brown spiky hair, and a red bandanna tied around it. Somehow his hair reminded her of a rooster. Turning to her, he gave a lopsided grin then said. "Hey missy! Never seen you before, you Kenshin's new girlfriend?"

"No." she said bluntly. "My name is Kamiya, Kaoru. I came to take revenge on Shishio for destroying my family."

Excitement flashed through the short girl's eyes. "Are you a good fighter?"

Kaoru noticed all eyes were on her. "Yes, though I haven't practiced for a while so my skills are probably rusty."

"That's great! Katsura will be pleased to have another werewolf on the team."

Kaoru's eyes grew wide. There are more werewolves here! What if some of my pack survived, maybe there here! Consumed with desperation to see her family, Kaoru grabbed the girl's shirt and roughly pulled her up. "Is there any werewolves who came from the Tokyo area?!" Azure burned into sapphire as she waited for the girl to speak.

"I…I don't know."

Furious, she vigorously shook the girl. "Please! You must tell me!!!!" Tears began to blur her vision as she continued to shake the girl.

A firm hand pulled Kaoru to her chair. "Relax Jou-Chan! She doesn't know anything."

Kaoru noticed that all the people were watching the spectacle, and she snarled at them.

All her anger drained out of her, and she looked at the girl who was still in a daze. Bowing low she apologized, "I'm sorry, I just haven't seen my family for a long time. I miss them."

The girl put a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright Kaoru; I know how it feels to be alone." She gazed at the tall black-haired man. "If it wasn't for Aoshi I would still be alone." "So why don't we go to headquarters and find them."

Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"No problem." "By the way, I'm Machimaki Misao. The tall man behind you is Shinomori Aoshi, and the rooster head fellow is Sagara Sanosuke, but we call him Sano."

"Nice to meet all of you, I hope we become friends in the near future."

With that the group of fighters headed for the secret headquarters of theIshin Shishi.
