A young boy of the age of 14 or 15, sat in the window of his room, looking out over the city he called home, he could not help but think of the girl he had met earlier that day.

~*~

Paris France, Nov 19, 1748.

It was approaching noon, He was running to try and get to a meeting that had been set up for him by his teacher, he had to get there on time if he was late it could ruin his chances to be a musketeer, as he continued running dipping and dodging through the crowd, he had cleared the crowd there was only a few hundred yards left to go, he knew he could make it in time if he could just keep up his pace, he looked back at the crowd for only a second, and when he turned back he had no time to react, he ran straight into a young girl about his age.

"Watch where you're going you idiot." She screamed as she got up. The girl was dressed plainly enough, well that is if she were a he, seeing a girl wearing pants in that age was odd to say the least.

"Me, you are the one that ran in to me." The boy yelled out as he got to his feet. "Oh, great I'm going to be late." He said looking at his watch.

"There she is get her!" A rather gruff voice screamed out.

"Oh no, not again I thought I lost those guys." She said looking at the boy that stood in front of her. "I could use some help if you don't mind." She said smiling sweetly.

"Why should I help you?" The boy questioned harshly.

"Guess I was asking for that, but if they get me I'm a goner." The girl then looked over her shoulder.

"Very well, but first your name."

"What why?"

"I like to know who I'm defending." The boy answered.

"Hikari, Hikari Kamiya." She said as she darted around behind him.

"Well nice to meet you, my name is Takeru Takaishi." The boy said as he looked at the three men coming their way. "Now to get us out of here." He said as he looked down.

"What are you planning?" Hikari asked as she saw what was in front of them. "No you wouldn't, I'm not going down there."

"You won't have to." Takeru said as he stomped on one end of the sewer cover making it stick up. "I had something else in mind." He then grabbed the cover and threw it as hard as he could.

The three men running at them had little time to react, they knocked over by the sewer cover as Takeru and Hikari ran off.

"Where are we going?" Hikari asked as she followed close behind Takeru.

"I still have a meeting to make, and if you want to be protected then this is the best place to go." Takeru answered as they turned in to the court yard of musketeer head quarters.

"Hey wait this is musketeer head quarters." Hikari said as she looked around the court yard.

"Yes it is, is that a problem?" Takeru questioned.

"No it's just I don't really want to be back here right now." Hikari said as she backed away.

"Oh really, why is that?"

"Hikari! Where have you been!? You're lucky that the boy never showed up, I promised to introduce him to you and you to him."

"That's why, my father is bent on me meeting some kid that was trained by his best friend Hawkins."

At this Takeru started to laugh.

"Hmm, who do we have here?" Hikari's father looked at the boy. "Hikari how dear you bring some commoner here."

"He brought me father, I had no intension of coming home until after dark."

Takeru who had stopped laughing the moment he was called a commoner stood looking at the man in front if him.

"You boy be gone, I have no time to deal with the likes of you, I am awaiting the arrival of a very special guest and will not you spoil his mood."

"What is your name sir?" Takeru asked in a low tone.

"Kamiya."

"I mean your first name."

"That is none of you concern."

"Oh but it is, it became my concern when you insulted me." Takeru now looked him in the face. "My teacher told me not to show myself for who I am, He told me to use my full name, he told me that you would accept me on my skill."

"And I would test those skills had I not a previous engagement."

"Well it would seem he is not yet here, so why do you not test me while you wait, I can promise it will not take long."

"No I doubt it will, you are just another one of those wind bags who thinks him self a great swordsmen."

"We shall see." Takeru then drew his blade.

"If you insist." Kamiya now drew his own blade.

"Would you two stop it?" Hikari yelled. "I can see why you want to defend your honor but you won't stand a chance against my father, I am skilled with a sword my self, but no where near my fathers level."

"I do this for more than just my honor Hikari." Takeru said.

"I will not allow this, I would prefer that you stay alive." Hikari said as she looked at him. "And father I would rather have dinner with this boy then meet Hawkins pupil."

"I can not allow that, I gave my word to Hawkins."

"Ones word is easily broken through a vow of honor, good sir." Takeru said as he ready for a quick fight.

"Yes well in that case if you win boy, I will allow it."

"Very well, I will make this quick."

"Oh, why don't men listen?" Hikari questioned quietly.

"Some of us do, I am only making possible what you want to happen." Takeru said looking at her from the corner of his eye.

"Ready boy?" Kamiya asked.

"Yes, I am ready." Takeru waited for Kamiya to make the first move, but as soon as he did, Takeru countered the first three attacks made by Kamiya, and then attacked him, The first strike was a downward slash that was blocked by Kamiya, the second was an upward slash witch Kamiya easily dodged.

"You missed." Kamiya said as he landed, sword still in the blocking position from when Takeru's first attack. Takeru's sword hit Kamiya's right in the center knocking it out of position.

"No I didn't." Takeru said as he slid in and grabbed Kamiya from behind. "I won." He said as he held his sword to Kamiya's neck.

"That can't be, there is only one person that has ever beaten me, with out having ever fought me before." Kamiya said as Takeru let him go. "And that was Hawkins."

"Well let me properly introduce my self then." Takeru said as he walked over to a bench and sheathed his sword. "My name is Takeru Takaishi or Tk for short, and I am the so called pupil of Hawkins, the way I acted here is no different than the way I act around Hawkins, I don't care about what you promised him, if Hikari does not wish to have anything to do with me than so be it, I would not have her forced to do anything she wishes not to." He said as he took off the old tunic he was wearing. "And as my teacher always told me, never judge a book by its cover, the same can be said for people."

"A lesson I never quite learned." Kamiya said sitting down. "So Hikari, still wish not to meet Hawkins pupil?"

"Well we have already met, oh and Tk you can call me Kari."

He continued to stare out the window, he wondered if he was going too allowed in to the musketeers or not. "Well it is best that I get some rest." He aloud as he stood up.
