Deep in forest of Tokyo, a woman of mystery and deathly force known to the world as Black Mist, a woman who's souless and is rumored to be a demon  wanders down a dirt path with a stoic expression and full alert. As she's walking, she hears the sound of swords clashing meaning someone was fighting, not knowing why but out of curiosity she follows the sound and sees a man fighting four people who looked to be guards. The man as his long hair in a ponytail with some hair strands hanging in his face and wearing a cheap burgundy mens kimono but still manages to look classic.

Seeing the man fighting he is fast and quick with attacks and blocks like never seen before reminding me a lot of someone that people have mentioned before. He gets kicked to the face and chest sending him on his back groaning in pain, as they get closer, without thinking I start running and land right in front of the man making the guards stop in shock and surprise. I slowly look up with my death stare.

"Isn't it wrong to attack someone when they are at they lowest?" I say with a fake smile

"Beat it woman, we are busy here" One guard says

"I dnt know what you just said, but I see a handicap fight with against one man, that doesn't seem fair to me" I say sarcastic

"Move it woman, or after we are done with him, your fighting session will be alittle different and more enjoyable than that coward" Another guard smirks making the others laugh

I glance at the man behind me and see him staring at me in shock holding his chest, I turn back to the men

"Ill give yall one chance to leave before I do something i'm not gone regret" I say looking at my nail nonchalantly

They laugh mockingly

"You? What possibly could you do American bitch?" They laugh

My eyes snap up deathly making them flinch alittle

Suddenly I make my sword appear out my hand, my hidden cutting edge sword glistening in the sun light as I run towards them and they charge at me. All it takes is one slice of my sword before three of the men are on the ground with blood splattering everywhere as there guts spill out. The last man stares shocked and horrified as I stare at him sadistically with blood on my cheek, he charges at me but I slice his leg making him scream in horrific pain as blood splatters everywhere. I walk towards him slowly as he pleads

"You, your her aren't you,  th-the Black Mist" he says terrified

Smirks "So you've heard of me but still manages to piss me off"

"We didn't know-"

"Sounds like excuses to justify you and your goons ganging on one man"

"You dont understand-"

"I know I don't, but I don't care"

"Please don't kill me"

"Hmpt, should have thought about that when you was talking shit"

"Have mercy please"

I sigh heavily and smile softly

"Mercy is for the weak"

I slam my sword straight in his throat ending his life, I lean up and turn to the man I saved to see him staring at me with shock and curiosity, I slowly pull my sword out the dead mans neck without turning around and sheathe it while walking towards the man. I top infront of him and hold out a hand, he takes it hesistantly and I help him stand up.

"Thank you" he says making me tilt my head

"Finally someone who knows English" I smirk

"Yes I do, but thank you, I appreciate your help Miss"

I nod and start to walk away

"Wait!" I stop and turn to him "Who are you?"

Stares at him "You may know me as Black Mist"

He stares shocked "Your- your Black Mist?"

I nod emotionless

"Where are you headed" he says looking at my hands that have nothing but a small bag and my sword

I look around "Where ever the wind takes me and where ever I can find a place to eat and stay"

"You can come with me, I have a village, food and shelter provided as a thank you for helping me"

Looks at him bored "your wanting to invite me to your village after I just told you who I am, you do know the stories about me right?"

"I'm not one to belive rumors, please"

I shake my head "I'm not the type of person you would want around sir, Black Mist is a wanderer and moves from place to place or stays in the forest"

He smiles softly "And now the Black Mist wont have to do that, and surely you cant be that bad, you did help me out of nowhere"

"I just did it out of nowhere, I didnt want to,but I did anyway for some reason, the Black Mist is only known for shedding blood and death everywhere she goes" I say with a stoic face

He gulps "Even knowing who you are now, surely you arent as bad as they make you to be, despite being called and known as a ruthless and souless demon, you still did it"

I stare at him as he walks forward slowly

"Please, I wanna say thank you in more way than words"

I nod slowly and follow him, as we walk in silence, he suddenly turns towards me "Whats your real name, if you dont mind me asking"

"Why"

"Surely I should know the name of the person I'm bringing to my village" he smiles hesistantly

I look at him, for some unknown reason I feel a connection which has never happened before, like never have i met someone and immediately feel like i can trust them, i feel like i can trust him "Scarlet, Scarlet Yusaki"

He smiles "I'm Kenshin, Himura Kenshin"

I let alittle smile show "So it is you", he looks at me confused "Battousai" he suddenly stop and looks at me alarmed "Ive heard about you, the Sword assassin who is unbeatable in a fight, some call you the Sword Demon, but i heard you changed and started a peaceful life somewhere in a small village"

"Its true, I vowed to never take another life again"

"If you a man of your word, then may peace be within you"

"I always keep my word"

I look at him and smile making him smile back

And that was the start of our friendship
