"I had a feeling you'd show up," the man said. He had long red hair that was down in front of his face and he was a brilliant swordsman.

"Hello, Kenshin," I said to the man.

He pushed his hair away from his face and smiled.

"I can't even come close to scaring you can, I?" Kenshin asked.

"No, not unless you're Battousai the manslayer," I replied.

He laughed, "Well luckily for you I'm not anymore," Kenshin continued, "So what brings you down here on a day like this? No lessons today unless you want to get wet."

I laughed and sat beside him on the porch steps. We were quiet for a moment. He was waiting for me to answer.

"Troubles at home?" he asked.

I nodded. Even thought Kenshin is the most understanding person I know I didn't like to talk about my problems with him.

"Want to talk to me about it?" He asked.

I shook my head no.

"Alright but at least try to look happy. I hate to see people sad," Kenshin said.

I lifted my head up a bit but it didn't make me look any happier. Suddenly out of the temple came Yahiko with Karou swinging her sword at him. Yahiko was running and laughing at the same time.

Yahiko was one of the kids at the temple. He's a year older than me at fifteen (Just go with it). He has black hair, brown eyes, and likes to annoy Karou so her chasing him around with a sword was normal.

Karou was another teacher at the temple. She has blue hair and greenish eyes. She likes Kenshin and everyone knows it but no one says anything.

"Yahiko you get back here you little," Karou was yelling at Yahiko, again.

All Yahiko did was laugh and make her mad, only Yahiko can get her so pissed off. Other than that she's a nice person. I laughed as Karou stopped trying to hit Yahiko because Yahiko had climbed onto the roof.

She sat next to Kenshin and talked about how annoying Yahiko was. I wasn't paying attention to them anyway. I pulled my self onto the roof to talk to Yahiko.
