   CHAPTER ONE of my rurouni kenshin fanfic
Walking through the crowd the woman looked around at the towns people smiling to herself as she remembered her brother a little boy slipped hurting his hand, his big brother ran back and picked him up rocking him. She remememderd the feeling when she was young and got hurt her brother would always be there for her. The good memories fadedas the memory of her parentsflased before her, they dies of cholera when she was two, her brother and her left seeking help but he was taken by slavetraders. She was thenraised by a women where she was brought from kyoto to a small town in tokyo. The womean self-consciously touched the scar on her face. It was covered with a bandage to help hide her identity.It traveled just above her nose from the bottom of her left eye to the bottom of the right. She still remembered where she got the scar, she was looking for her brother after her caretaker had been killed
--Begin Flashback--
A young boy followed his master around smiling happily at the members of the group known as the sekihotai, he was about 10-12 then like her, his smile faded as he seen a young girl run into the camp. A man by the name of Seiji had struck her with his sheath knocking her to the ground
Boy: hey leader Sagara?!
Sagara: whhat is it sano
at that question the boy pointed and followed his leader over to the girl
----------
Seiji: heh its a little wench
Comrade: hn hey little girl who are you spying on
Surprised by the girls corages seiji came toward her
Girl: I just want to find himura shinta!
Souzou Sagara: whats going on here seiji
Seiji: uh leader this girl came running into the camp
The leader nealed down and stared into the girls eyes
Souzou: Such courage
Seiji: Such disrespect Leader shes with the enemy!
Souzou: your going above your authority seiji! now tell me wht r you here child
Seiji: lea-
Souzou:with the enemy or not she will be helped
Girl: im looking for Himura Shinta!!
Guy: did you say himura- himura battousai?! our allies in the inshin shishi gloat about him all the time because of his presice killing speed
Souzou glared at seiji, she WAS with the ally
Souzou: you will not find him her child now go home
As the leader walks off the girl stares into the sky
Girl: Batousai...
The girl jumped up and spinned to run away but seiji was to quick even though he was surprised by her speed. The quick spinning motion dodged most of the blades stike but the sword still slammed across her face eye to eye
Girl: you will pay for wht you have done!\ Seiji laughed at her but soon stopped as her cold blue hair began blowing in the wind, her eyes minimixed to slits of ice blue, shocked seiji was torn in though of rether to run or to kill the demon who stood before him. His sword rose and quickly went down for the girl. At that time the girl looked up and seen the boy, sano, running her way he rpushed her back and as she seen the blade heading for him she stood up and stuck out her hand, the blade sliced and inch into the boys shoulder and her hand, she was not strong enough to have stopped it.
The next thing she saw was the leader running over, he picked the boy up and glared at the gasping seiji who was still shocked, souzou ran and took sano to the tent leaving seiji and the girl in the middle of interested eyes.
--End Flashback---
The woman continues down the road thinking to herself. she was happy seiji had done that, the next time she saw him she had thanked him which he didnt take to well, She had learned hat the way she was she wouldnt survive in the bakumatsu no doran era. That day she spoke to seiji he had challenged her and lost she was prod of tht but know as she continues to seach for her brother they search for her in the hopes of revenge.
The woman continues d on noticing an art stand, glancing across the peices she noticed two items and puchased them. One was a peice of her own, she had done when she was 12, it wasnt to bad. It was a grown picture of what she though ehr brother ould look like. The second was Saitou Hajime the 3rd leader of the shinsen-gumi, she hated him because of the hel* he put her through but he had a small place in her heart also because of what he had done. When she left the sekihotai that day she was taken in by a man they called mibus wolf(or saito), he trained her in the art of gatotsu and she became a member of the shinsen-gumi, everything was fine, she hated the goverment but she believed AKU_SOKU_SAN or kill evil instantly way the best way to live. She also gained the nickname of Sukoshi wolk or little wolf. That was all until she found herself between an argument between the wolf and the battousai, it was then she relized her ways were wrong. She new she could not tell her brother then who she was, she had to find her reason to be, the reason for her exsisrence first. Thats When she disposed of her long katana and left meeting up with a man named Sushaku in kyoto, he told her he had fought alongside the battousai in the early parts of the revolution. She told him she was seaching for her self and trying to find a way to protect innocent people without haveing to resort to violence. he had just laughed and said i sounded too much like my brother but he promised o forge me a revers blade, the same type of sword as shinta's, i accepted and i waited there a while until i decided i needed to learn a typpe of defense tht would be more useful then gatotsu's. But in tht seach i learned the Watori technique which is the ability to learn techniques after watching it performs only once. Thats when she came accross a man named Hiko Seijuro and wht was strange was tht he had taught her brother, this made him reluctant to teach the rebellious little boys sister but she soon showed him she was ready to learn, by leaving a large dent on his head i might add lol. But he tought me and i learned the entire budo within 2 years which really surprised him, my brother had taken 6 years and even then he had not learned the final attack. as she turned 20 she left hikos home and began searching again and helping out when ever she was needed never revealing her identitiy until she ran into the wolf again she had agreeded to help him in 2 years when he called on her. she was still suspicios of him appearing out of no where and was still questioning herself n why she had agreed she later found out at age 22 tht he needed her to help him fight off and olf enemy, his groups was ready foe battle and i had just folloed, falling asleep foolishly because of all the traveling i had to be woken up by saito. I got up and later in the battle feild i drew my sword only to realize it was not mine at all, it was a katana. i glared at saito as i seen him in the far distance, He took my sword and made two of his men attak it at onec causeing it to shatter. Gaining my focus back three men on the enemies side were headed for me, i had no choice but to draw and then was the time my oath was broken, the promise on my name to never kill again. All the men laying dead on the ground was my next sight i tossed my swro to the ground picking up wht was left of the broken reverse blade and wrapped up a small traveling bag, putting a bandage across my scar to hide it i headed out looking for my brother again. And now here i am age 23 havent held a sword for almost 2 years and still searching.
The woman was darted out of her thought when she heard hollaring from a crowd up ahead. She ran towards the crowd pushing her own memories behind wonderign wht was going on...
