-1By the time our hero reached the Dojo everyone was waiting for him. Dr. Gensai walked to him and looked at Sakura, his eyes seemed slightly worried for the woman that he knew nothing about. Kaoru was stomping her foot waiting for Kenshin to take the woman inside and put her in a room so she could yell at him.
"Take her inside...I'm not sure I could save her...but its worth a try." said Dr.Gensia.
Kenshin nodded and walked inside the dojo into a room well lit and laid our bleeding Sakura on the sleeping mat. She coughed slightly as he did this, which might have been a good sign. He nodded at Dr.Gensai and walked into the hall where Kaoru was waiting for him.
"Kenshin, why did you bring her here! We don't know her! She could be a Thief our a murderer!" She yelled, though she was just venting. Kaoru and her anger…
He put his hand on her shoulder , "Miss Kaoru, please try to keep Sano from seeing what she's wearing...I will tell you later what it means. Just please could you get her one of your kimonos..." his voice was slightly cold as he began to walk away.
"Wait Kenshin, do you know who she is?" she asked looking at him, anger had left her and now she was just confused.
Kenshin didn't look back but said " I think I may know..."and he began to walk out side. Where he would sit all night, waiting for the sun rise.
He was thinking of the fight that may soon happen, and how the woman would react to being saved by the man that she had been watching. He held one of her daggers, the other was in her room next to her sword, the sword that had her fathers name on it, at least he thought that it was her fathers name. Kenshin knew nothing of this woman, but he had a feeling that she knew Sano, Sanosuke would rarely speak of his days with the Seki ho army, but once in a while he would mention a girl, the Captain's daughter.
He studied the blade, seeing its use. She was a skilled fighter, and from what this old well used dagger had told him, she knew a fighting style similar to his. But she used dull daggers, like she didn't want to kill her opponents. Kenshin was piecing the whole story together from one weapon. She didn't want to kill for this group, but she did so anyways, she may have used her sword for this. This woman was the one who caused about 3 deaths in this city over the course of a month. Kenshin knew that she wasn't going to accept that she was still alive, she must be feeling guilty. And why had she showed up now, and not earlier, she was wearing a Seki Ho uniform, this would lead her to be the type for revenge. Like Sanosuke was, he was so filled with anger for imperialists. This woman must be a little like that. But Kenshin knew that he wouldn't know anything intill she was awake.
As the sun would rise a few hours later, Kenshin could see someone walking in the distance, though the gate. This worried him, could this be someone coming for Sakura? Who could it be? At this hour?
