Chapter 1

Kenshin's Shock

The same woman who was once the Hitokiri Kasshin was now wearing modest kimonos (that covers her scar) and hasfresh faced look to her. Kaoru was now living in Tokyo and had since locked everything about her past away. The only people that knew the truth were the late Dr. Gensai and Yahiko. Even her beloved husband didn't have any idea of her true past and who she really was.

Despite Yahiko's constant push for her to tell Kenshin, Kaoru never budged. The former Geisha was too ashamed to ever speak of her past. This well kept secret was truly a secret till Reiko came to visit.(Gomen! I'm about to get sidetracked.) Both beared scars from battling the Battousai but Reiko's was more noticeable. (You'll see what I mean!)

-------Change Scene-------

The buildings seemed to be boiling as the sun bore down on the city of Tokyo. Among the bustling crowd was a woman with her two teenage children. The woman had shining ebony locks to the end of her shoulder blades and eyes as green as polished jade. Her skin was a tanned ivory and a long vertical scar over her left eye. She carried a ninja-to on her waist. Her light green kimono was modest and altered for freer leg movement.

The younger girl was a duplicate of her mother and looked to be about sixteen. Her raven locks were shorn short to her shoulders. Her kimono was altered as well and a beautiful golden yellow color. She also carried a weapon, a katana.

Her faternal twin brother looked about sixteen as well but had calm cobalt blue eyes and black hair cut in some fashion of a bowl cut. ( Think Aoshi's hair) He wore a navy blue hakama and had a kodachi hung on his back. (AN: My, isn't odd how he is just LIKE Aoshi in EVERY way….hint,hint)

The boy looked to his mother and inquired, "Mother, is this old friend of yours by any chance the former Hitokiri Kasshin?"

"Yes Ryu, she is. When meet her I want to address her as Kamiya-san or Auntie Kaoru. Is that understood, you two?" Reiko Yukishiro, the former geisha Hana or infamous Kyu Hiketsu, replied. Mika and Ryu nodded calmly as the Kamiya dojo came into view.

-------Change--------

Kenshin sensed an oddly familiar ki with two unidentifiable ones arriving at the entry way. Curious, he went to see who had come to visit. He stood shock still when his eyes met the recognizable eyes of the former Kyu Hiketsu. Shaking off the initial shock, he briefly studied the two teens with her. Ryu gave him a dark look that said ' What the hell are you looking at?'

Yep, there no mistake, their father was Aoshi Shinomori. He could not help but wonder if the former Okashira knew that the two existed. Mika interrupted his train of thought," Excuse me, does Kamiya Kaoru live here?"

Kenshin was only able to nod before Ryu Shinomori asked," Are you not the one they once called Hitokiri Battousai?And-"

Before RYU could speak further he was quieted by his mother's glare. Kenshin decided to allow them in and would ask Kaoru about her connection with the former Geisha Assassin Reiko. All the while He kept asking himself the same burning question, 'How does Reiko know Kaoru? It can't be possible that she was apart of the same lifestyle…..'

An: Hey what ya think? You'll hear more about Aoshi and Reiko in later chapters. Any way, here are some Japanese-english translations.

Shina- name means Virtuous One

Hana- means Flower

Ninja-to- a ninja type blade that looks like a Wakizashi, but is slighty longer and more straight.
