The sword of time

Prelude

It was morning; there was a father and a son walking to the Kamiya dojo. It was Yahiko and Shinya. Both father and son held a sword on their hips. Yahiko had Kenshin's sakabato proudly placed inside a red sheath. Shinya held his father's practicing sword on his hip. The paced at the same stride, both of their red eyes glowed in the dim morning sun when they came into the dojo where they would train with Kenshin.

Kenshin was folding some towels and placing them into a brown basket. He lifted the basket off the ground and walked over to Yahiko and Shinya.

"Good morning!" Kenshin said with a bright smile on his face. His deep blue eyes looked lovingly at the father and son. It reminded him of his and Kaoru's son, Kenji.

Yahiko and Shinya walked with Kenshin into the Dojo.

"Good morning Kenshin!" Yahiko said, pushing Shinya into the dojo door.

"Ah I see that our young Shinya-chan is just as shy this morning as all ways!"

"Yes, I don't know where he gets it! Certainly not me! I think it Tsubame that he gets it from."

"That will change in time. If he is anything like you Yahiko-chan."

"Aww haven't I come up from chan yet?"

"Not until you have earned it."

There was a loud crash that came from outside. Kenshin looked at the door with a sudden surprise on his face. Kenji ran into the dojo naked with a few suds on his body. Kaoru came right after him yelling.

"Kenji! You get your little butt back in here and finish your bath!"

"No! I don't want you in there!"

"I'm your mother! There isn't anything on you that I haven't already seen!"

Kaoru caught up with Kenji and dragged him down to the floor. She grabbed the closest training stick and bopped Kenji over the head with it. Kenji fell to the floor with a dazed look on his face.

"Ok, ok, I need to teach." Kenshin looked at his beautiful flustered wife and son. He couldn't help but smile at them. It was so much better that all the fighting was over. It had been 9 years since he had fought with Enishi and won. Tomoe was finally gone from his memories and his cross-shaped scar was fading. He walked over to Kenji and Kaoru to try and help. Kenshin held out a towel that he was folding earlier before.

"Thanks dad." Kenji grabbed for the towel and wrapped it around his waist.

"Oh hi Shinya!" Kenji said to the little figure of Shinya behind Yahiko. "How are you?"

"Fine." Shinya said in a low, shy voice.

"Boys," Kenshin started to say, grabbing Kenji's shoulder and leading him over to Yahiko and Shinya. "I wanted to tell you both something. I want to start teaching you both how to fight with the Sakabato, you will inherit it, but we need to know who will be able to weald it faithfully."

Shinya walked out from behind his father. This was growing interesting.

"Your training will start now."
