Chapter One - A Sad Goodbye And A New Beginning
One night under the light of the full moon, there stood a samurai with flaming red hair and a cross shaped
scar on his left cheek. behind him trailed a girl gasping for air. "Wait! Please! Don't go! Kenshin!... please.."
The samurai looked at her with caring and compassionate eyes, that now seemed to fill with sorrow. "I am
sorry Miss Kaoru, but it is for the best." Is all he said before he turned around and walked away.
Many days later the samurai came to a village. In this village he met an elderly priestess. "Excuse me, but
might you point me in the direction of the nearest inn?" "Nay child, there are no inns in our village, but you
may stay with me for the night." replied the priestess. "Thank you. You are very kind." "Nay child it was
nothing. My name is Kaede, might I ask who you are young samurai?" "My name is Kenshin Himura."
"Well it's an honor to meet you, Himura-san." "Same goes for me, Lady Kaede." "Himura-san?" "Oro?"
"Might I also ask what has brought you to our village?" "Oh, well I was just passing through. You see, I'm
but a rurouni; a wandering samurai that I am." Their conversation carried on until they had reached the hut in
which they would stay.
"Himura-san, would you mind running down to the market place and picking up some miso for tonight's
supper ?" He smiled his sweet smile and replied "not at all, in fact I'd be honored."
