Koji groaned in her prone position. Her head was pounding, and she concluded that whatever hard surface that it rested on was the culprit. She slowly opened her eyes, and glared at the seemingly innocent cherry-blossom tree above her.

'If I had my powers right now...you'd be dead' She threatened it. Apparently the tree couldn't read minds because it gave no outward sign that it'd heard her. Koji quickly admonished herself for such ludicrous thinking. Apparently she'd hit her head harder than she'd previously thought.

She sat up delicately, her aching head protesting all the way. Koji looked around and found herself sprawled along a trail that was lined with sakura trees. There was a canal, or river, she couldn't tell which, flowing directly behind her.

Her wand was found laying innocently beside her. She picked it up and marveled at it's dark color.

'Mahogany most likely...' She mused as she ran her fingers over it's liquored surface. 'Yep, definitely mahogany.'

Koji stuffed it into the sleeve of her sweater for safe-keeping.

The sound of a whistle blowing cut her thoughts short however, as she looked around for the source.

There was a strange man with long red hair, and strange clothes running towards her; or more accurately being chased towards her. When she caught site of his pursuer, Koji almost choked.

'Now isn't this scene familiar?' She asked herself as the character now known as Kenshin rushed passed her followed closely by the police officer. Feeling sorry for the ex-manslayer, Koji streched her foot out just as the cop was passing her.

SLAM

While the cop was sprawled on the ground Koji took the time to vacate the premises lest she be blamed for the officer's clumsiness, which she actually had caused in the first place.

She soon found herself on the outskirts of a town. The air was permeated with the sounds and smells of the inhabitants. Vendors were selling their wares. A veritable cornucopia of herbs, meats, vegetables, and household items seemed to dance across her vision as if trying to catch her attention.

As she passed through the area, people would stop what they were doing just to stare at her. It was very unnerving to say, but Koji wasn't one to start shouting at people just for looking.

'I'd tell them to take a picture, but I doubt they'll know what one is!'

Koji opted for her usual approach...glaring. It seemed to work for the most part. Whenever her steely gaze fell on some gawking bystander, they quickly shook themselves and returned to their previous engagement.

As she passed by what appeared to be a housing district, she found herself almost trampled by a stampede of children, who by the looks of things, were playing a game of tag. Koji chuckled to herself, thinking about when she was a child, but that was soon cut short when a very large, very masculine hand clamped itself over her mouth.

The body that was attached to that hand pulled her into a nearby secluded area, much to Koji's dismay. A breathy voice was soon breathing down her neck.

"Well what do we have here?" It croaked. "A girl playing dress up?"

His breath reeked of sake and Koji squished the impulse to gag.

'If I throw up, I'm aiming right for his face.' She thought conspiratorially. She tried to struggle, when he began to kiss along her neck, but he was much stronger than her; and far too close to kick from behind.

Enough room was made during their struggles for Koji to bite his hand. The sound of his screaming did little to help her still pounding head, and the taste of his blood in her mouth only managed to increase her nausea.

Her would be attacker released her, but before she could escape, a blow landed her across the alley.

"I'll teach you what happens to little girls who play rough." He said as he began to undo his hakamas.

'Crap' She thought as darkness took her over. Right before she passed out, a new figure entered the alley where she was imprisoned. A scuffle appeared to take place between her attacker and this new guy, but by then, Koji was unconscious.

The new man quickly defeated her attacker with one blow to the face. As he ran away, the victor knelt beside Koji's limp form. He gently lifted her up and carried her away.

"You're one lucky girl missy" He said as he took her someplace to rest.

Koji woke to the sound of arguing. Her head was still pounding and the raised voices of the other room were doing little if nothing to rectify the situation. Solution: rectify it yourself; and that's what she did.

With a bit of difficulty, she sat up, allowing the blanket that covered her to pool at her waist. She groaned when the world began to spin at an alarming rate. Conclusion: getting up would not be the best approach.

"Will you two please keep it down? My head hurts enough as it is."

Situation: rectified.

A shoji screen to her left opened, and two strange characters appeared from behind it. One had his brown hair so mussed it looked spiked, and the other had long blue-black hair tied at the top of her head with a blue ribbon.

The woman wore a pink kimono that swished at her ankles when she walked. The girl sat beside Koji and felt her head.

"Glad to see you're awake, how do you feel?"

'Like I was hit over the head repeatedly with a tree...'

"I have a headache, but I'll manage through that. Might I ask, where am I?"

"You're at my dojo. I'm Kamiya Kaoru, and this lug is Sagara Sanosuke. He's the one that found you." Koji didn't know of what to do in this situation. She'd made contact with the main characters of the story, now that her brain was catching up with current events. And so she didn't need introduction, but there was something wrong. There was one person missing...

"I she alright?" Asked a red head of hair that poked its way through the door.

"That one's Kenshin," Kaoru introduced.

"I'm fine, thank you guys for saving me." Koji said as Kenshin made himself comfortable in her vision.

Hah! So the three main characters of the anime were before her! At least it was an anime she had already seen before.

Koji bowed to the group that had gathered in the room. "I don't have any way to repay you for your kindness."

"That's fine, we're just glad to see that you're alright. You don't look like you're from around here. Is there an inn your staying at or something?" Kenshin asked. Koji shook her head as she eyed her own garments. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn to school that morning.

"Actually, I don't have anywhere to stay, and I don't have any money. If you would allow it, could I stay with you here? I can cook and clean. I'll do all the chores if I have to!" Koji begged.

"You can cook?" Kenshin ased.

"You'll do the cleaning?" Asked Sanosuke

"All the chores?" Asked Kaoru.

'I think I may be in way over my head.' Koji thought as that similar gleam of laziness flashed across everyone's eyes. 'Way in over my head.'

"What are you guys doing?" She heard a young voice say from down the hall. In an instant, the boy known as Yahiko appeared, his dark brown hair almost as mussed up as Sanosuke's. "Who's she?"

"Talk about nosy!" Kaoru snapped, standing up. "This is Koji and she's going to be staying with us for a little while."

"What! Not another girl! I have trouble even dealing with you!" He shouted, which aggravated Kaoru to no end.

"What did you say?" She shouted, chasing after the boy with an umbrella she got from next to the door. A few heavy foot falls could be heard down the hall, before they apparently landed outside.

Koji, Kenshin, and Sanosuke all looked on in amusement.

'Yep. I'm in Rurouni Kenshin world alright.' Koji finally sighed, rubbing her temples. "I wish they wouldn't scream so loud."

"You'll get used to that. They do it a lot. How is your head?" Kenshin inquired, scooting in a little closer.

"I don't know. I think it'll be fine though."

"You should thank your lucky stars missy that that guy was as loud as he was. Otherwise, I wouldn't have heard the commotion."

"Right. Thank you Sanosuke." Koji mumbled back, finally taking her hands from her head. She hoped perhaps that her head ache would disappear shortly.

"We might as well get you acquainted with the dojo. Come, I'll give you the tour." Kenshin offered, standing. He helped Koji up before leading her out of the room.

'I already know the Dojo, but sure, I'll get the tour. Oh I can not believe I'm walking with Himura Kenshin himself! Maybe I can trick him into giving me an autograph. Of course I'd have to get the same from everyone else here. Hey, maybe while I'm here I'll get to see him fight!'

"ORO!" The shout rang around the hall as Yahiko quickly ran past with the umbrella and a wooden katana. Kenshin layed plastered on the floor, swirly eyes showing he had not at all expected the surprise attack. Kaoru ran quickly by, not even noticing the trouble caused.

'But first Kenshin needs to come back into consciousness.' She thought to herself quietly as she squatted and poked at Kenshin's head. His red hair really was poofy. 'That is, if he ever will come back to consciousness.'
