Please Read: Ok... I'm so sorry I haven'tupdated in almost a year. I sorta forgot that this story was up. So, I FINALLY finished the chapter, but I hate how this chapter ends. Please don't hate me, and ignore other before and after comments from the other chapters. Since it has almost been a year since I last updated, I would like to say that my writing skills has improved a bit. This chapter, however, was written before my skills improved. Later chapters will be better, but I'm at a writer's block after this. So, I'm willing to take suggestions, and if you want, I can put a character of yours in the story if you want. My muses, Ata, Sun, and Moon will be staying.


There was a gasp from the people at the table.

"W-w-what?" questioned a shocked Yahiko.

"You heard me," her voice was angry and stiff sounding. "MoonShadow killed my entire family."

"Well not sounding to be rude of anything, but could you tell us about it?" asked Kaoru while wringing her hands.

She sighed, "Okay."

Four people are in some kind of sitting room.

There seemed to be a mother and a father of course, and two boys.

They were all dead.

There was also a little girl about the age of 8 there too. She is shaking the mother's shoulder.

"Mommy, please wake up!" She cried. "Please wake up and tell me what happened!"

Tears are now streaming down her cheeks. "…Mommy…"

A maid of the young girls parents walks over to the girl and comforts her.

She starts talking. "Fjord…Mommy and Daddy aren't coming back."

"B-b-but… they're right there! How can they not be coming back?"

"They're dead Fjord. They're dead. No one could do anything to stop it."

"No! They aren't dead! They can't be!"

The maid sighed. "Fjord. While you were in the kitchen someone came in and killed your brothers and parents. Mommy's and Daddy's friends were here too."

"But what happened!"

"I'm getting to that just be patient," said the maid gently. "While you were in the kitchen an assassin came in and killed Mommy and Daddy and you're brothers in front of Mommy's and Daddy's friends."

Tears are coming faster and faster down the young Fjord's cheeks. "But Mommy and Daddy said that we were safe and that nothing bad will happen. They said there were many guards and the bad things called guns. How did that mean killer come in and kill Mommy and Daddy!"

"Nobody knows how the assassin came into the house Fjord. Nobody knows…"

"W-w-what was the killer's name?"

"MoonShadow"

The young Fjord's face became pure determination. "Well, I'll get that MoonShadow person if it's the last thing I do!"

She then ran out of the house and into the woods…

"And that's what happened," answered Fjord. "I think that's why MoonSha- I mean the assassin is in town. I think she is trying to kill me. She killed the rest of my family. So why wouldn't she try and kill me?"

"Huh!" exclaimed Sano. "The assassin is a girl!"

Fjord shrugged. "From what I heard."

Sano shrugged, "Oh well. I'm just surprised that it is a girl. Most assassins are men."

Kaoru smacked Sano hard.

"Ow! What was that for!"

"How can you be so insensible! She just told us what happened and you are just sitting there and acting like it was nothing!"

"Well, sorrrrrrry," sarcastically said Sano. "Next time I will try and act like you. I'll just start throwing things around and raving about that my cooking isn't horrible."

"WHAT!" Kaoru then starts smacking Sano to a bloody pulp.

"Good thing Dr. Genzai, Suzume, and Ayame left a little while ago," said Yahiko.

Kenshin nodded. "Yes indeed."

"Do they always fight like this?" asked Fjord.

Kenshin answered this time. "Yes they do. But Kaoru and Yahiko fight more than Sanosuke and Kaoru."

"Hey!" exclaimed Yahiko. "That is not true!"

"Yes it is Yahiko. Yes it is."

Yahiko grumbles, "Fine, it IS true. I just don't like admitting it."

Fjord giggles a little and Yahiko blushes slightly.

"AND NEVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN! HEAR ME!" screamed Kaoru.

Sano… well… lets just say he didn't say anything cause his jaw is almost dislocated…


Good, this chap is finally done, and if you didn't read the note at the begining of the chapter, please read it now. Thanks, please R&R!
