Chapter 8:
She grabbed her pack and headed on her way. ' Hiko-sama…I wonder how he's doing. He never told me much of anything about my past but…' Kai stopped and looked up at a man and a women walking and holding hands.
" Hm…" She smiled a little and walked onward, passing the couple and lowering her large bamboo hat.
It wouldn't of taken too long to travel past Kyoto, but thing kept on happening to her. Rumors about her being the Battosai's daughter, and being a man slaughterer. Once, about a year ago, in Kyoto she met a wonderful family and they had taken her in. They had a young daughter about a the same age named Kagome. " Kai-san. Do you like the rumors about you being…you know what?" Kagome had asked one day when they were watching they sky. Kai shrugged. " It's all one's matter of opinion, Kagome-chan. Why do you ask?" Her eyes gazed onto her friends.
" I was just thinking. You're a excellent swordswomen. The best in the whole city. You've beaten all the men that had wanted to fight you, yet you never killed anyone because you use a reverse blade sword. Kai, your one of the greats…" Kagome sat up and smiled. Kai smiled back. " Ah, thank you Kagome-chan." She got up and helped Kagome onto her feet. " Kai, do you want to go around town for awhile?" Kagome asked, slipping on her sandals. Kai started to nod her head when something has stopped her cold. " Kai-san?" Kagome watched as all the color ran from her face.
' What is going on?' Kagome questioned in mind. Kai gripped her swords hilt and her eyes got sharp. " Kagome, stay here." She ordered and walked slowly back inside the house. Kagome looked down and noticed and she has left her shoes behind. " Oh, Kai-san you left your sandals behind!" She picked them up and ran after her. When Kagome walked inside she saw a trail of blackish-red blood on the floor. " Nani? Kai what-" She saw Kai standing there looked up, no emotion on her face. Kagome looked past Kai and her eyes widened.
" I'm sorry Kagome-chan." Kai lowered her head. Her parents were dead on the floor. " Kai!" Kagome ran to her and wrapped her arms around Kai's left arm. " Kai! How could they be dead! Why didn't they yell for help? Why!" Kagome cried. Her tears dropped to the ground and she fell to her knees. Kai looked down at her. " Kagome-chan. The reason they didn't scream was because someone came in here fast enough to kill them off. The trail of blood is because they were trying to get whoever was killing them far as possible away from you…" She stopped for a pause. Kagome looked up at her. ' They must have been so quick because even I didn't notice any bad Chi around.' Kai said silently. Kagome stood up and started to walk towards her parents dead corpses. Kai grabbed her by the wrist.
" Don't go near them. We'll get the police and they'll solve the matter. Kagome…come on." Kai lead her out of the dojo. " Kai…why did they kill them? Why…?" She was still crying her eyes out, they had started to become puffy and read. Kai sighed. " Your parents might have had a enemy of some sort, problems with the government. Who knows but them? The way to find out is to look into there past. But sometimes the past can be hurtful." The warning was a new thing to Kagome. " Who mean…my parents weren't good people?" Kagome wiped the tears away, but more just kept coming. " No. I didn't say that. I'm saying that all people will like your parents. Nobody is perfect Kagome-chan…" Kagome let out a whimper.
" What about your past?" She asked. Kai felt something drop onto her shoulders. " Honestly…my master that taught me, he never said anything about my family or much of my past. He did tell me he was not my father or even related to me but he knew my father. I asked him how come he wouldn't take me back to him, and he said I would have to do that on my own. And so, he sent me on a journey past Kyoto. That was about a year ago, and I'm still on my journey." Kai looked at the station ahead. " Alright, now you stay her and I'll go in and explain."
She had explained in full detail what happened to Kagome's parents and etc. That night, Kai had decided it was her time to go. She had never talked to Kagome since then and still doesn't know what happened to her parents when they had got killed. But then after that she kept on traveling, stopping only when she needed the rest.
" And that's about it." Kai finished. She stood up and let out a long sigh. Kenshin looked up at her. ' There's something she's mot telling me…' He thought, his eyes fixing on hers. She looked outward, scanning the place. It was dark by now. " Well, I guess we should be getting some sleep." Kenshin stood up and turned around and took a step. He looked back on Kai, she seems to be scanning the stars now. " Kai are you coming?" He asked. She stayed silent for a moment. " Have you ever really looked at the stars? If you think about it, there like lost souls in the sky. Trying to find there peaceful place. At least that's what I was told…by a old man…" Kai looked down and smiled. Kenshin smirked. Kai followed Kenshin into the dojo, and walked pasted him to her room.
" Good night Kai." Kenshin whispered as he walked to his room. Kai lowered her head as she walked, smiling. " Good night…"
