Chapter 3
Training and a young woman
Kenshin went to a small dojo to train so that he could repent for all the lives he took. He might have to kill more on the way. He starts his training. "I have to do this so after I can go find my sister and tell her that I am sorry." Kenshin said. He didn't stop training until nightfall. Then he took a brake. He tried to go to sleep but he kept having a dream of his sister seeing him fight. He stayed up the rest of the night because of it.
Then he got up and got something to eat and after went straight back to training. He fought wooden people that he made and just practiced swinging the sword. He was practicing the Hiten Mitsurugi style. He learned it from a great master Hiko Soujirou. He promised to himself "I will only use this sword to protect people and the ones I love." He kept on training so that he could get it perfect to do what he promised.
It was nightfall and Kenshin tried to go to sleep but he couldn't. then he heard a scream and he went to check it out. It was a couple of guy beating up a young woman. Without thinking he went to go get a better look at her when he got close enough to see her. He saw that she was really cut up and she was bleeding and badly bruised. He then saw that they had a dagger and sword. It looked like they wanted something from her.
"STOP IT LEAVE HER ALONE!" Kenshin said. "Well look at what we have here boys. I think you better stay out of this kid." The leader said. "Why are you beating up that girl?" With an angry look on his face the leader said"She has something we want." Kenshin got really mad when he saw that they kick her again. "Did she steal it from you or what you just want it?" The leader started to get irritated at Kenshin. "We just want it that's all." The leader said. Kenshin didn't want to fight if he didn't have to but if he has to save her he will.
They kicked her again and then stabbed her with the dagger. Kenshin got really mad and then they were about to kill her when kenshin blocked it. "Why you little bastard I going to kill you for that." The leader said. "His eyes show no fear in them they only show anger and hatred. They look like they're on fire." One of the guys said. "You guys are wimps and weaklings." The leader said. Then kenshin took them out with out even trying.
He looked at the girl he got really sad and went to see if she was still alive. "Good she is still alive barely, she has a strong heart." Kenshin said. He took her back to were he was staying and took care of her wounds. He laid her in his bed so that she could rest and get her strength back. He took the thing from her arms and placed next to her. He sat next to her the whole night to make sure she was ok. "They will probably be back with stronger men probably." He said. He would be ready for them if they did.
