Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Run Away ❯ Finding Hope ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2:

Finding hope

Saitou watched Faith for quiet some time that afternoon watching learning about her the way she moved and the skill she might indeed possess with a sword or even martial artist, but he didn't pry Faith into explaining how she was able to dodge everything from people to carts. To say the least Saitou was very intrigued by Faith. Faith also watched Saitou keeping an eye on her it was comforting knowing someone at least cared the slightest bit about her well being, other than herself that is. Faith had to smile at the fact that an older man actusually paid any attention to her and not the other women on the streets flashing looks at Saitou as he and herself walked through the streets headed no where in particular at the time being. Faith stopped abruptly and turned around to look Saitou in the face.

Faith: "Saitou?" She asked very nicely.

Saitou: "Yes Faith what is it?" he said raising his left eyebrow a little.

Faith: "Where are we going because I hope you know."

Saitou: "We are going to the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu Kenjustu Dojo."

Faith: "Why a dojo? I don't understand." Faith said totally confused.

Saitou: "There are some people there that might be able to help you more than I can." Saitou hated to admit.

Faith: "Really? They might be able to help me?" Faith asked with a smile.

Saitou: "Yes Faith." He said as a smile threatened to spread across his stern fetchers.

Faith turned back around and started walking again when she realized she had no flipping clue where she was going so she stopped and looked at Saitou like 'you-go-first-since-I-don't-know-where-the-hell-I'm-going' type of looks. Saitou took the lead the rest of the way to the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu Kenjustu Dojo where he hoped Kenshin, Sanosuke, and miss Kaoru were at.

*At the Kamiya Dojo

Miss Kaoru was trying to teach Yahiko a new stance but was having no luck seeing the boy losing interest at a rather fast rate.

Kaoru: "Yahiko!! Pay attention to me!!" She yelled at him.

Yahiko: "No Ugly!!!" He yelled hotly at Kauro.

Kaoru: "What was that?!?!" She asked getting angry with him.

Yahiko: "Do I have to spell it for you U-G-L-Y?!" He said being a smartass.

Yahiko was about to run from Kaoru, but smacked into something or someone. Yahiko looked up to see what or whom he had ran into, but when he spotted Saitou and a young lady looking at him rather strangely.

Kaoru: "Yahiko how dare…" Kaoru yelled but stopped shortly after.

Kaoru: "Saitou what are you doing here?!" She asked seeing Saitou and a young girl.

Saitou: "Hello Miss Kaoru hello Yahiko." He said looking at both of them.

Kenshin and Sano had just walked outside the dojo to see what the commotion was when they both saw Saitou and that young girl again, talking to Miss Kaoru and Yahiko. The young girl seemed to be a little nervous being she was rather close to Saitou who didn't really seem to mind. Kenshin and Sano walked up to the group standing at the front gate.

Kenshin: "Hello Saitou, what brings you here?" He asked with a smile.

Sano: "Yeah Saitou I thought you had to help that girl find her family." Sano said as he pointed to the girl.

Saitou: "For your information I found out her name plus, I was also hope Kaoru might be able to help." He asked nicely.

Kaoru: "Why do you need my help?" She asked shocked.

Saitou: "Because something about her reminds me of you, but I don't know what that is." He told her honestly.

Kaoru: "Oh ok I'll try to help the best I can." She said as she smiled at the young girl.

Saitou: "Thank you Miss Kaoru." He said relived that she said yes.

Yahiko: "So who is she?" He asked wanting to know.

Saitou: "Her name is Faith, Aoshi and Misao, they found her and gave her the name." He said honestly.

Faith: "You didn't tell me you knew who those nice people were?" She asked looking at Saitou.

Saitou: "I was unsure if I should tell you, I'm sorry." He said a little embarrassed.

Faith: "It's alright I really don't mind." She said smiling at Saitou.

Saitou: "Faith I would like you to meet Kaoru Kamiya owner of this dojo." He said pointing to Kaoru.

Faith: "Hello Miss Kaoru nice to meet you." She said bowing to miss Kaoru.

Kaoru: "Nice to meet you as well Faith I'll introduce you to the guys." She said turning around to the guys.

Kaoru: "This Is Yahiko, Kenshin, and Sanosuke but we call him Sano." She said pointing to each one of them.

Faith: "I meet you two this morning in Saitou's office." Faith said staring at Sano and Kenshin.

Kenshin: "Yes that is true miss Faith, that it is." Kenshin said nicely.

Sano: "So Faith is it, how are you Saitou didn't hurt you did he?" Sano said wanting to pick a fight with someone.

Faith: "No he helped me remember my name and also gave me faith in find who I really am." She said looking at Saitou.

Kenshin: "So Saitou how can we help?" Kenshin wondered.

Saitou: "You guys can help by keeping her safe when she is not with me." Saitou told them all.

Sano: "So you do have feelings its absolutely amazing!" Sano said trying to tick off Saitou.

Saitou: "Sano don't make me have to take you to jail, cause you know I can." He stated boldly.

Faith: "I take it you two don't exactly like each other that much." She said watching them both.

Kenshin: "It's not that miss Faith Sano and Saitou have a score to settle that is all." Kenshin said shaking his head.

Faith: "Typical." She said with a giggle.

Kaoru: "Very." Kaoru agreed with Faith.

Yahiko: "Shut up ugly!" Yahiko yelled.

Faith: "Excuse me?!" She asked looking at Yahiko.

Yahiko: "Not you Faith, Kaoru." He said pointing to Kaoru.

Faith just looked at Yahiko completely confused as to why he would call Kaoru ugly when in fact she was very pretty and looked an awful like Faith her self, but a little younger. She her self was only twenty but everyone seemed to think she was much younger than she actusually was.

Kenshin: "Miss Faith?" He asked nicely.

Faith: "Yes Kenshin what is it?" She asked sweetly.

Kenshin: "I was just wondering how old you are, that is all?" Kenshin said with a shy smile.

Faith: "I'm twenty years of age." She said proudly.

Saitou: "Really I thought you were eighteen." He said with the look of lust in his eyes.

Faith: "I get that a lot because of the way I look." She said blushing at seeing the look Saitou was giving her.

Sano: "So do you have a boyfriend?" He asked with a sly smile.

Saitou: "Sano, don't push your luck." He said glaring at Sano.

Faith: "No, I don't have a boyfriend at least not to my knowledge." She said shaking her head at the two men.

Kaoru: "Faith, do you remember anything about you past?" Kaoru asked.

Faith: "Sorry, Miss Kaoru I don't." She said looking down.

Kaoru: "That's quite alright I'm hear to help you." She said putting her hand on Faith shoulder.

Faith: "Thank you, Miss Kamiya." She said looking at Kaoru.

Kaoru was shocked to hear Faith call her 'Miss Kamiya' that she was speechless, for the fist time in a long while. Everyone was surprised that Faith had used miss Kaoru's last name, not even Kenshin called her Miss Kamiya anymore.
