CHAPTER 2- Not who you expect.

"Sano?" Yahiko-san gasps.

The figure 'harrumphs' "I cannot believe that I'm saying this but he does have a point. Punching with two hands work almost as good as one." He kneels down beside the girl, apparently oblivious to the fact that we are staring dumbstruck at him.

"Are you okay?" he asks gently. The girl nods, but points to the little boy whom I'm assuming is her little brother. "Is…Haru…okay?." she groans, trying to sit up, but he puts his hand on her shoulder. "Don't sit up. You'll just hurt yourself that way." She turns to the boy standing beside her. "You really tried to protect you Nee-san back there." He says patting the little boy on the head. He nods, but you can see the tears forming in his eyes.

"I want to protect Nee-san, but Nee-san won't let me." he says, crying. "You can protect her. But you should learn how to protect her properly first, so that you will be able to protect yourself as well as her." he smiles. "I heard that there's a really good dojo around here. Kamiya Kashin-ryu or something like that?"

"Sanosuke!" Yahiko-san shouts, his frustration at his old friend and mentor beginning to show. He still doesn't react. A look of extreme irritation towards Sanouske-san appears on Yahiko-san's face and I realize what's going to happen before it does.

"YOU OBLIVIOUS BIRD-HEAD TURN AROUND ALREADY!" Yahiko-san yells at the top of his lungs, conking Sanosuke-san on the back of his head with his sakaboto.

"Ow!" he yelps, and I'm surprised that he sounded extraordinarily feminine for a moment. "Geeze! I heard you the first time! But did it ever occur to you that I'm not 'Sanosuke'?" he shouts, turning around, and I realize that 'he' is in fact a 'she'.

Yahiko-san looks taken aback. "Hai. I apologize.. but your fighting style, it's so similar to-"

"Sano?" I hear my mother shout, running around the corner, with father, Tae-san and Tsubame-san in tow.

"For the last time, I am not who you think I am!" she shouts angrily.

"She certainly acts like Sano." I hear father say quietly.

She glowers at him, and he raises his hand up in surrender. "And may I ask you, who exactly are you people and why are you so interested in me?" she demands.

"Why don't we go to the Akabeko to discuss more." Suggests Tae-san, sensing the high tension that is radiating from the girl. The girl's eyebrows rise. "Wait, you know where the Akabeko-as in the restaurant-is?" she asks.

"Yes, we work there." Answers Tae-san. She smiles. "Excellent. I'm supposed to give something to someone who works there."

"Then, why don't we all go now?" says Tsubame-san, and we all walk towards the Akabeko, the adults, with joyful, but puzzled expressions, leaving Han-ya and myself, totally and utterly confused.

Ayame-chan, and the little oblivious devil that she is, is walking beside, the mystery girl and chatting about things unknown.

"Ahh, so this is the Akabeko." Mystery girl says, gazing up at the Akabeko's store sign. She turns around and smiles at us. "Arigato. Thank you for showing me the way here." She bows, and I see that on the back of her jacket, there's an 'Aku' painted onto it's back. "I know that you've already done me a favour today, but could you please tell me if you know someone who works here called Tae-san?"

a look of surprise passes over Tae-san. "That is me." she says. "Why? Do you have something to tell me?"

"No. but I have something for you." She says. "Let's go inside, shall we?" she walks into the Akabeko, not bothering to check if we're following.

"There you are! We were wondering what was taking you so long!" cries Misao-san, as she waves at us from her booth, where she's sitting with Aoshi-san. Both of their eyes widen as they see her. "Sanosuke?" they both say at the sane time.

She smacks her head with her hand. "For the last time, I am NOT that bird-head!" she growls. But either way, she sits down, and begins to rummage around in her bag.

"Ah hah!" and with flourish she pulls out a little bag and hands it to Tae-san.

She takes it uncertainly. "What exactly is this for?" she asks. Mystery girl takes a deep breath and leans back against the wall. "I maybe a stranger to you, but if what that bird-head told me about is still accurate since the last time he was here, you're all still probably part of the 'Kenshin-gumi' right?" she says arching an eyebrow at all of us, who are staring back at her dumbstruck. Kenshin-gumi? What in the name of Kami is she talking about? But this news seem to have a profound effect on the adults.

"Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, Megumi, and occasionally Misao, Aoshi and Saitou right?" she says, counting each person with her fingers.

Father nods. "How do you know about this?" he asks.

She smiles, and shows us her jacket, and their eyes widen when they see the 'Aku' on the back. "I know all of your names, except, you," she nods at Han'nya-kun, "And you," she nods at me, "And you already introduced yourself to me," she grins at Ayame-chan. "But I doubt that you know mine. Unless you've already guessed."

"No!" mother gasps, recognition showing plain on her face. "You can't be!"

mystery girl winks at her. "Oh yes I am. You've guessed right." She laughs at their stunned expressions. "That likeness to that 'Bird-head' that you keep talking about? Yeah. He's my dad. My name is Sagara Saya."

See you next chapter!- MoonlightRurouni
