Chapter 3: And Then There Were Three
Monster?
Soujiro's mind whirled with those was shocked to hear the girl he just saved call him a monster. He wondered if this is what Kenshin got every time he saved someone. He straightened up and kept looking at the girl while she continued to stare at him with unmasked entire surrounding seemed to be tension was heavy in the slowly started to inch away towards the little boy and looked at him wearily as she acquired a protective stance over the kid. Soujiro's exterior seemed calm but his mind was in a tumult. He couldn't understand why the girl looked at him as if he was a monster when all he had done was to save her from the thugs. Moreover she looked at him as if he was going to turn on and kill them too.
Soujiro decided to break the silence so he smiled at her and asked "Is this how you thank your saviour madam?". The girl snorted at him,"Saviour? You are no better than those men you just killed. No...You are worse than them" Her eyes looked at him with pure disgust and Soujiro felt like he was slapped.
To say he was confused by her outburst was an understatement he was expecting her to say was most definitely not this. He masked his confusion well and asked her,"Pray tell me, How am i worse than them when all i did was save to you from them?"
She continued to stare at him as she ignored him. The kid who was quiet till now walked towards him. The girl dropped her stance and was watching them unmoving. The kid's eyes once more arrested him as he looked up at him smiling and said," My name is Kichiro and this is my sister Saiyuri. We thank you for saving our lives Soujiro-san. We owe you please come and stay with us for a few days?"Soujiro looked at the kid's face which contained an earnest plea and didn't know how or why but he found himself replying,"Sure".
As they walked towards Kichiro's house,he wondrered what made him save them and how he ended up going to their home. He really didn't have an answer to it.
Change,as they say,comes as sure as the seasons and twice as fast. Will this be the change Soujiro has been waiting for? Only time will tell..
