Heart of Moon chapter: 1 A meeting by the river.

11th year of Meiji era... ---------------------------

"Kenshin where have you been?" A young lady in about 17 asked.

"Huh? Oh Kaoru-dono," He said as if he were just been taken out of a trance "just walking around," He looked at the girl in front of him with her beautiful long raven black hair fixed up in a Ponytail, her purple kimono blowing in the wind.

"Oh, Kenshin no bakaryu! Don't you ever dare scare me like that again" She says hitting him on the head with a bokken. He had long red hair, a pink gi and white hakamas, and a pair of rare Amethyst colored eyes on his face which looked like the one of a little kid even though he was 28. No matter what a horrid past he had had as "battousai" she loved him with all her heart and soul. But something always had her mind in confusion. The "X" shaped scar on his cheek. Many questions came up to her head when she saw him touch it. Even though she new it was impolite to ask someone about their past, especially and old samurai, she admitted to her curiosity.

One thing that she new was that he had been a killer, but she always wondered how did that scar come to exist. Lately he had complained about it hurting. But when Megumi, a young doctor about 25, would ask if he wanted her to look at it, but he always said that it would pass. But it didn't, it became worse and worse sometimes Kaoru would hear him tossing and turning in his bed. Other times he would just stare into the river as if caught in a deep thought like this and it worried Kaoru that he would leave her. Soon she was taken from her train of thoughts as the scar began to burn again and Kenshin fell to the floor anguished in pain. Suddenly a bright light shined and three people arrived. Then Kenshin fell unconscious.

Later...

As he woke up he winced at the pain on his left cheek 'What happened? I was with Kaoru at the river and then...' He sat up from where he was lying in his futon in, his sword next to him. He could hear voices. He got up and looked around 'it's coming from the porch' when he went outside he saw Kaoru with three other people he didn't know. One was a young lady that was around Kaoru's age she was wearing a beautiful silver kimono with moons and stars all around it she had beautiful golden hair wrapped in a strange way at her head. Then there was a younger girl around Yahico's age, she had on a pink kimono with bunnies and moons. But her hair was PINK? And made into a single ponytail (I thought it would be nice to give Rini a new hairstyle "^_^"). Then last but not least there was a young man about 25 with a Dark blue gi and white hakamas his hair was the most normal between the other two girls it was short and black. As he quietly watched them Kaoru noticed him and she presented him to the group. "Hi, Kenshin nice that you finally woke up. Come here I want you to meet Serena, Rini, and Darien." She said pointing to the three people in front of her. Then as if by surprise two other people came in running. One of them was very young and had a yellow gi and a green hakama. The other was about Darien's age and had on a black and white shirt and pants on and he had the word "evil" written on his back.

"Jo-chan? Did I just saw you come in with another guy and a beautiful young lady coming with Ken on your back or was it just me..." the tall guy said.

"Yeah Busu did I just see you come in with a beautiful little lady in here..." the younger asked.

"Oh Yahico, Sanosuke nice that you came back. This is Serena, Rini and Darien. Oh and Yahico-CHAN... should I tell Tsubame you are after another young lady" Kaoru asked with a sly smile on her face making Yahico blush "Oh, Sano Serena here already has a boyfriend is that right Serena?" She asked Serena "

"Hai" she awnsered blushing "but please calls me Bunny all my friends call me that."

"And Sano what about you? I don't think Megumi will be very pleased in hearing you are looking for a new girlfriend?" As Sano hears this he also blushes.

"Oh well its getting late we should head home" Serena said seeing that it was getting dark.

"... wouldn't you prefer to stay a bit longer? We have plenty of extra rooms." Kaoru said

"Maybe another time. We really need to get home." Darien said

"Too bad. Well can I at least accompany you?" Kaoru said walking her guests to the door.

"Oh no its okay its pretty far from here so we will just take the train" Rini told her.

"Okay nice to meet you! Come back again!" Kaoru says waving as her new friends leave

"As for you..." she says tuning around. She was very angry at Yahico and Sano's insolence "YOU MADE ME PASS THROUGH THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT OF MY LIFE HOW DARE YOU COME HERE AND ACT LIKE THAT WHEN WE HAVE VISITS YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE!" Then a few cries for help were herd accompanied by a sound of flying punches and a bokken-hitting numbskull.

A few blocks away...

"RINI! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA TAKE US TO VISIT YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER OF THE FUTURE AND INSTEAD YOU MAKE US COME HERE!" Serena screams.

"Don't talk to me like that Busu!" Rini says using the new word she learned and sticking her tongue out "now calm down. Anyway we seem to have met some nice people. Would you like to come again and visit?" Darien asks.

"YEAH!" Rini and Serena awnsered.
