Hi there! Um.. this is my first story in so… yeah, tell me what you think and whether I should keep going with this or not.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the rurouni kenshin characters, but I can always dream…. Sigh
The Himuras
Ch.1
It had been almost 2 days since Kenshin had left Kaoru and the others back in Tokyo he had about 3 left on his journey. Lost in thought he had failed to notice that it was already dark. "Damn Saitou" he muttered bitterly " walks in to my life again and destroys everything just when I was finally finding happiness." A sudden gust of wind brought his attention back to the world ' it is dark already that it is, I should probably set up camp for tonight.' He went about searching for firewood when he caught sight of another fire burning on the other side of some bushes.
He crept slowly, with all his Battousai stealth, toward the fire and the person sitting in front of it. He couched behind the bush to watch the figure, searching the persons ki for any possible threat, his eyes widened slightly when he saw it was a woman ' she should not be out all alone at night that she should not, it is dangerous.' She did not, however appear to be lost, scared or in any sort of distress. She was not dressed in what a normal girl would wear either, instead of a kimono she was wearing black, fitted, western style pants, and a long sleeved, tight black coat with the collar flipped up. He couldn't see her face as she was sitting on a log with her back turned to him but he could see she had dark brown hair although, when it caught the light of the fire, kenshin could see it had a dark red tint to it with streaks of gold running through, it came down just past her shoulders and was wavy and curly at the bottom.
There was something lying beside her too, he looked closer, craning his neck to see, ' a sword? Why would she have a sword?'. Strangely enough the sword looked somewhat familiar to him, actually this entire scene seemed to stir up old memories. He felt a painful stab in his heart as he remembered the face of a young girl sleeping peacefully, leaning against a tree the firelight reflecting her face. He shook his head ' no time to dwell in the past now' he thought and he stepped out from behind the bush were he had been crouching and in to the light of the fire. Before he had even announced his presence the woman stood up. She turned around, the fire casting light onto her face.
" Ah, your finally here Battousai."
A/N so? What do you think? I'm pretty apprehensive about how this turned out,
And my mind wont be at ease until you review!!!! Tell me if you liked it. Tell me if you hated it. More of the story will unfold in later chapters
