For the second time that day Fjord Cannon woke up.

And also for the second time that day, Yahiko was sitting quietly next to her.

"Hi," he said.

"Hi."

Before either of them could say another word the door opened.

In the frame was Kaoru.

"Yahiko lunch is read-," said Kaoru cheerfully. "Oh, I see you are awake again Fjord. Well lunch is ready so come and get it."

Yahiko mumbles something under his breath.

"What is that?" Fjord asks.

"What? Oh, it's just that I hate her cooking," he answered. "I guess that we should go to lunch no matter how bad her cooking is."

Yahiko held out his hand so Fjord could stand up.

She took it gratefully. Just as she was on her feet, she fell.

And the only thing to grab onto was Yahiko.

Both of them were blushing madly.

"Uhh… here," said Yahiko while holding out his bamboo sword, "You could use it as a walking stick."

"Thanks."

Since Fjord was having a hard time walking it took them a while to get to lunch. When they finally got there they saw Kaoru, Dr.Genzai, and several other people Fjord didn't know.

"I was wondering what was taking so long for you two to get here," said Kaoru. "Sit."

"Sorry, Miss Complains-a-lot," said Yahiko. " But Fjord had a hard time walking."

"Well thanks for pointing out the obvious," said Kaoru.

And since they were arguing, again, Fjord decided to take a look at the other people at the table.

Across from her was Dr.Genzai shaking his head slowly in shame at Kaoru and Yahiko. To his right were two young girls. One around two and the other around three.

The one around two years had short brown hair in two pigtails and brown eyes. She was wearing a red and yellow kimono.

The one around three years had long brown hair and brown eyes. She had on a turquoise and pink kimono.

To Fjord's right at the end of the table was a man around 19 years old. He had brown spiky hair like Yahiko but longer. He also had white leggings and a white shirt edged in black. His eye color was brown.

And finally to Fjord's right was a man with red hair. He seemed to be the oldest besides Dr.Genzai. His eye color was violet. He was wearing a pinkish top and white leggings. And on his left cheek was a cross-shaped scar.

I've seen him somewhere, thought Fjord. I just can't put my finger on it.

"Well, your cooking is horrible, and you're ugly," said a smug Yahiko.

"My cooking is NOT horrible and I'm NOT ugly!" yelled Kaoru.

"Okay you two, stop arguing," said the man at the end of the table. "And Kaoru, Yahiko is right, your cooking is horrible."

"Why I never!" yelled Kaoru while throwing things at the man.

"Duck!" yelled Yahiko.

Dishes, plates, soup ladles, and even the food went flying.

Fortunately the man saw it coming and took the man with the red hair and used him as a shield. When Kaoru was done the red haired man had many manybumps on his head.

"That'll teach you! Never insult a woman's cooking!"

Everyone carefully came out of his or her hiding places.

"Now that that is over," calmly said Kaoru, "I'll introduce everyone else to you Fjord. The young girls over there are Suzume and Ayame Genzai. The one who agreed with Yahiko is Sanosuke Sagara; he likes to be called Sano. And the one with the red hair is Kenshin Himura. Everyone meet Fjord."

"Nice to meet you," said Kenshin while doing a small bow.

Fjord nodded her head once.

"I heard that the assassin, MoonShadow, is in town. I also heard that he killed almost a dozen guards," said Sano while putting his hands behind his head.

At mentioning the name MoonShadow Fjord instantly stiffened.

"What's the matter Fjord?" asked Yahiko.

"Never, never mention the name MoonShadow around me."

"Why?"

"MoonShadow killed my entire family."
