Searching for Kenshin Himura

Chapter 1

~Unedited~

I looked up at my father as I watched my brother walking away. 

I pulled on his sleve and said "Daddy where is nii-san going?"

"He is going away for a little while Ayumi."

"But why dosen't he love us any more." I said as the tears began to flow down my small face.

"He will be back soon Ayumi I promise."

.***

"AYUMI it is time to get up!"

I rub my sleepy eyes as I slowly start to wake up from my dream. 

"Ayumi it is time for breakfast and your chores."

"Yes dad."

I quickly get dressed in my pants and kimono top. My top was white while my pants were a bright red color. I quickly eat my rice and fish and run outside to start the morning chores.

First I go to the well and draw up severall buckets of water to take into the house and to use for the garden.

While I am watering the garden I hear my father taking to someone in the house. I am tempted to go and listen in to the conversation but think better of it.

I carefully weed out the garden making sure not to kill any of the veggies growing inside the garden. The cool dirt inbetween my fingers feels refreshing. The sun was out and it was about noon of course the sun was blazing hot and I was sweating buckets. 

After I am finished weeding I go inside to get a glass of cool water . When I am in there I see my father looking into something as if trying to make sure something was right. I walk over to him and whisper "What are you looking at dad?"

My father looks behind his shoulder and is starteled and immediatly hides whatever it is he is hiding.

"I am not looking at anything." He replies bluntly while hiding what ever he was peaking into in his sleve.

I sigh and say "Alright you win this time." And I go to the barrel of water and fill up the ladel and take a long drink of the cool water.

I then ask "Dad will you be training me today?"

"Yes Ayumi don't I train you everyday."

"Yes father or should I start calling you master like nii-san always did?"

"I would prefer you called me father rather than master because wether you are adopted or not you are my daughter."

"Dad I love you!" 

"Yeah whatever."

"I need to go grab my sword so we can start training." 

'She is just like Kenshin wow, only more respectful.'

I quickly clean my sword and run out to the waterfall where we usually train. When I get there my dad is already waiting for me. 

"What are we going to learn today?"

"Today we are going to learn the Kuzuryuzen. Now Ayumi make sure you stand completly still while i show you this technique."

"Sure thing dad."

I stand completly still and make sure to pay close attention to his every move. He hit every single vital point but he did so gently to make sure that he did not use enough force to kill me.

When he was finished it was my turn to try it.

"Ayumi be very careful when you do this move on me you do not want to kill me."
