Heart Of The Battousai
Epilogue
It has been four years since that faithful day when Tamaiya left the Kamiya dojo to finish her training in Kyoto with Hiko, and what a four years it had been. She would get up early every morning, sometimes even before Hiko was awake and go outside and practice, many days from dawn until dusk. Her skills had improved greatly during that time and, although she didn't have the killer instinct he did, she could easily be a match for Kenshin if she had to fight him. She frequently wrote and visited her family in Tokyo and she even had two little brothers and sister to play with now, Kai and Kenji were her new brothers and her little sister was named Yumi. When Kenshin had told her she was going to be a big sister she was all but ecstatic, she would help out with them whenever she visited and she greatly enjoyed the letters her father sent to her, unable to hold back her laughter when she read about the mischief her younger siblings were so accustomed to getting into. One day was different from all the others however, this day would be one that would change her life forever.
Tamaiya was out practicing in the woods near the cottage, giving the trees around her a fair beating as she repeated attacks over and over to perfect them. Every once in awhile she would pause and wipe the sweat from her brow with a happy sigh, she loved swordsmanship so much, it was her life, and no matter how many times she used an attack she never tired of it. After her twentieth, perfect Ryu Tsui Sen she stopped for an instant to catch her breath then she suddenly felt a presence behind her, a strong one with a very determined spirit. She gripped her sword tightly in her hands and spun around quickly when a hand rested on her shoulder, ready to fight off her attacker, but when she saw his face she froze in mid-swing and actually dropped her sword from shock. It was a young man with waist length black hair and very dark eyes, a smile shining brightly on his handsome face as he looked down at the startled young woman in front of him, "Hello... Tamaiya."
She couldn't answer, she could only stare at him with shock as she reached out and touched his cheek with cautious fingers, "T... Tonoi?"
