Kenshin was on yet another errand to get some groceries from Kaoru. He was almost to the shop when he heard the angry shouting from men in police uniforms. He was about to go find out what was going on when he was slammed into by a woman desperate to run but she'd been injured. She held a small girl no older than Aiami or Suzumi within her arms.

He was about to say something but she started running, he followed her at a slower pace letting the police do their jobs. That was until one of them kicked her to the ground and put a sword to her neck. He walked up casually. "You should leave her alone, that you should."

The men turned to him, "who the hell are you?"

He turned and smiled, "just a concerned bystander, that's all I am."

The lead man shoved him away, "Get outta here!"

Kenshin stood away from the wall, "you'll leave her alone that you will."

His eyes hardened somewhat as the man turned again, "Do you want to fight?"

Kenshin shook his head and smiled, "I'd really rather not if I can avoid it, if I can, so I would like it if you could just leave her alone." One of them launched at him, sword drawn.

Kenshin dodged out of the way and knocked the man out of the way. He was assaulted by yet, another man and he saw the first man dig his sword out of the wall and leaped high in the air. He landed nimble on his feet, the Leader finally pointed his sword towards Kenshin, "Draw your sword."

Kenshin looked at the man calmly, "I decline."

He moved the blade to the woman to sever her head from her shoulder but he found his sword was no longer in his hands.

Kenshin's sword blocked the path of his sword and took a strike at the man knocking him out. He reached down and grabbed her up, "come on, we need to go."

Kenshin arrived at Doctor Gensi's office, "Doctor Gensi! I need your help! "

The elderly Dr. Gensi stepped outside. "Kenshin, what seems to be the problem? Oh, my! Bring her in right away."

Kenshin ran inside and laid her down and walked outside to let Dr Gensi do his work. He sat down and waited.
