Disclaimer is that I absolutely do not own Rurouni Kenshin; they will stay with their awe inspiring creators, and that includes the ultra cute Shinomori Aoshi. I'm just barrowing them for this story, I only own the manga, the profile book and one OVA DVD. SO NO SUEING ME!!

A week went by since the wedding; Aoshi and Misao were back from their trip. Kaoru and Kenshin were watching Amazu with their own son, Aoshi trusted Kenshin to treat kids well. Amazu was taking her little bath with Kenshin as Aoshi walked up; Amazu was splashing in the water with a giggle. "Now, I didn't expect this coming home, Himura," Aoshi said seeing his daughter in a towel after her bath, Misao giggled seeing Amazu cutely yawn as she was placed in her little diaper.

Kenshin privately told Aoshi that some vampires were in Japan planning to kidnap Amazu-chan, the news alerted Aoshi and Misao so much that Aoshi was close to asking Kenshin for help.

"I wonder why my family, Himura," Aoshi said as he sat with Amazu, he knew that he broke several vampire rules concerning mortals. Misao was about to cry as she was holding on to Aoshi, he didn't want his wife to cry knowing that he'd have to do something to protect his family. "Aoshi, I know that your family is important to you, that I do," Kenshin said most likely wanting to help Aoshi and Misao, Aoshi knew he cared about his wife and baby daughter a lot, so much in fact he was willing to go full vampire. Misao was watching Amazu play with her toy, Aoshi picked up Amazu's clothes and other toys. "Misao, it's about time to go," Aoshi said as he smiled some, Misao just nodded.

Aoshi and Misao said their goodbyes to their friends with their daughter, the made their way to train station to head back to Kyoto. "Aoshi, I have the feeling that they were being followed," Misao said holding onto Amazu, Aoshi was taking precautions knowing that they were being followed.

Once aboard the train, Aoshi and Misao never dropped their guard over their daughter to protect her, Aoshi had asked Kenshin to talk to his father about any rouge groups of vampires.

'I hope Kenshin gets to my father in time,' Aoshi thought looking over at Misao and Amazu for a moment; he was riding a lot on the protection of his daughter. Misao and Amazu were asleep by the time they got into bed and Aoshi was still worried about what would happen, Hiro came to Aoshi's office to talk with his son about what he was able to find out after talking with Kenshin. "Aoshi, I think I have just confirmed why you are on guard, there was a rouge group of vampires that just escaped from a vampire hunter and made there way here," Hiro had more come "I talked to the vampire hunter about the vampires, and he told me some thinks that were very disturbing to hear and to accept."

On the inside Aoshi was terrified, but outward, he showed no emotion, and Okina was alerted to the news. The residents of the Aoiya were alerted to what was going on, but there was one thing that had to be taken care of, Aoshi's meeting with the vampire hunter in his office. "All what has to happen is that I meet the vampire hunter," Aoshi said standing in the doorway, Hiro had the meeting for Aoshi.

Aoshi was watching his baby girl play with her toys; Misao was still worried what was going on. "I just hope my sister tell me 'I told you so' or anything else, Misao," Aoshi said looking at their baby girl; Okina went to the door to see who it was. It was the vampire hunter there to see Aoshi in the office, just to be respectful; the young man took his boots off before he entered the establishment. "I'm just here to see Aoshi," he said as he walked into the Aoiya, Aoshi was waiting for the young man to come and talk with him. Aoshi was more than a vampire; he was also a member of the Oniwabanshu.

"I though I was suppose to be seeing the Okashira," he said looked at Aoshi, and then Aoshi just stood and bowed. The door was closed as the meeting began; Amazu was in Misao's arm's being fed. "Here you go, Amazu-chan," Misao said smiling at her daughter; Okon was keeping an eye on the door. Aoshi and the vampire hunter were still in meeting; Marina thought something was going go.

"Marina, Aoshi is just meeting with a vampire hunter," Hiro said gently holding his daughter's face; the vampire hunter was the best from the West to help before something does happen to Amazu. The vampire hunter left the office with Aoshi after the meeting, Aoshi picked up his daughter into his arms and she just started to giggle. "You telling me that this little one is your daughter, Aoshi" Gabriel said looking at Amazu in her cute little kimono, Aoshi just proudly nodded as he tickled his daughter. Giggles rose from Amazu until she needed a clean diaper on, Aoshi gently took his baby girl to be changed into a clean diaper and then changed for bed at the moment of a yawn.

"Gabriel, I have mentioned this before, my wife and I noticed that we were being followed by a rouge group of vampires," Aoshi said as he quietly shut the nursery door to let Amazu sleep, Marina knew Aoshi was worried about his daughter. Gabriel was willing to work with Aoshi, all despite the fact that Aoshi was a vampire, but he did strike a friendship with Aoshi in all to protect him.

"But you got to know that Aoshi wouldn't harm any one, sir," Marina said to Gabriel, but to say, he already knew that Aoshi never harmed anyone so innocent as Misao or their daughter.

Hiro going to look into the intentions of the rouge vampires by infiltrating them, Marina didn't want to have her father to risk his life just to gain information. "Father, you can't be serious about going into that" Marina said trying to hold her father's gi shirt, but she had her hand disengaged from the shirt. She knew that Hiro had to get the information or Aoshi was going to lose his daughter to those vampires, besides, Gabriel need the information and only knew the rouge vampires were Romanian in descent and just by they were talking and the language they used when talking.

Amazu started to cry needing her diaper changed, Aoshi and Misao went into their daughter's room to take care of Amazu. "I like to see this, parents taking good care of their baby," Gabriel said watching Aoshi changing Amazu's little diaper, Misao smiled at Amazu as she was in Aoshi's arms.

The little angel was asleep in Aoshi's arms; Aoshi gently laid his daughter down on her little futon to sleep until she was ready to be fed. "She's so precious and adorable," Aoshi couldn't help but to agree with Misao, Hiro made it back with time to spare with the information that Gabriel had needed. Too much of Aoshi's dismay, those vampires knew of the birth of a half-breed, and Gabriel knew that Aoshi had grown up through much of his life as a half-breed, half mortal and half vampire.

"So, then that means that are planning kill Amazu, father," Aoshi said as he held onto Misao giving her some comfort, Misao was scared to lose Amazu to those vampires. Suddenly, Aoshi ran to Amazu's room feeling that something is wrong; Amazu had been taken from her room. "Misao, we'll find our daughter," Aoshi said hugging his wife before going to grab his kodachi, Gabriel need Aoshi's help because of the knowledge of the terrain. Aoshi was hoping to get his daughter back; he was able to help Gabriel with the tracking. "If you're quiet enough, you might be able to hear their tracks off in the distance," Aoshi said to Gabriel as they walked a long following the tracks; little did what the vampires knew was that they were being followed from the trees and the ground.

Hiro saw the group and heard the cry of his granddaughter, Aoshi raced ahead to get an idea of where they should go. "They are taking long route, Gabriel," Aoshi was going to explain the plan they were going to use. "There is an easier way to get there, maybe we can get there first and cut them off." Gabriel understood to the plan that was given, Hiro knew what that meant to do.

"Aoshi, I guess this is the reason why you became Okashira at the age of 15," Gabriel said as he was check his weapons, they were way ahead of the vampires and making great timing.

Aoshi was right on target as they waited for the vampires to show, Hiro held his weapon close as he heard a noise from where he was hiding. "Aoshi, how much longer should we wait?" Gabriel asked until he heard Amazu's cries, either she wanted her father, needing to be fed or have a change of diaper or the combination of all three. Aoshi crouched down planning an attack to save his daughter and get back to Misao; he remembered his promise to his wife before leaving to help Gabriel.

"Wait, I smell something off and it's not the child," Demetri said moving closer to a trap that Aoshi and Gabriel sat up, Amazu started to struggle in the arms of one of the vampires. She knew that her father was near by; she wanted to go to him and go home to be with her mother back at the Aoiya.

"Aoshi, the trap has been sprung," Gabriel said before jumping up to attack, Aoshi came around the side in attack. Amazu had her little arms out to be rescued; Aoshi grabbed his daughter and placed her in a safe place until it was time to go home. 'Rescuing my daughter was the easy part, the hard part is fighting your own kind,' Aoshi thought as he drew his kodachi, neither side wanted to make the first attack for about an hour. Demetri made the mistake of attacking Aoshi, which that started the fight for the life of a 2 and half year old baby girl by the name of Shinomori Amazu.

'A pack of wolves, great, that's all we need," Aoshi thought again as the wolves laid next were he had hidden his daughter, Aoshi realized that the wolves were protecting Amazu.

Aoshi suddenly screamed out in pain as a blade ripped into his side, Gabriel ran over to help Aoshi with the wound. "I don't want Misao to worry," Aoshi said having the wound bandaged before getting up to finish a fight, Demetri had already escaped out. Hiro had gotten to Amazu first to make sure his granddaughter was okay, Aoshi was holding his side seeing his father with Amazu.

"Don't worry, Aoshi, she's okay now," Hiro said holding a sleeping Amazu, Aoshi knew it was that time they started to head back to the Aoiya. Gabriel knew that his work was cut out for him when Demetri had escaped, it was slow going due to Aoshi's wound and little was know though.

"Aoshi, are you okay?" Hiro asked until Aoshi pitched forward, Gabriel was able to catch Aoshi. Okina was waiting at the doorway ready to usher them in, he sees Aoshi clutching his side.

For my one and only reviewer:

Cutepuff: Thanks again for the review; I promise that Aoshi's sister won't do anything bad to Misao. She was just jealous of Aoshi because he was getting married and now he has a baby girl to take care of, now Aoshi is almost ready to have more kids with Misao! :D

PEOPLE, JUST DON'T READ THIS FANFIC, REVIEW TOO!! I'M BEGGING YOU!!
