A/N- This story was originaly going to be
just about this girl I had in a dream of mine, but I decided to change it while
I was watching some episodes of Rurouni Kenshin.
Disclaimer- I don't own RK or any of it's
characters, even though I would love too! Also, everything in here is fiction,
so don't try copying some of the stuff I write!
Enjoy the Prologue!

Prologue:
The rain fell roughly, bathing everything as
the mist of the night crept slowly through the city streets. A dark figure ran
quickly, darting across the abandoned streets and leaving no trace behind as
they continued on their dark purpose. The Figure huddled slightly underneath
the canopy of a closed restaurant entrance, glancing about with hurried
weariness. After checking the small bundle all draped in black underneath the
cloak, the figure left the dry safety of the canopy.
Moving forward with deadly accuracy,
stopping only once in a while to glance about quickly as the rain poured down
soaking the figure completely.While the rain continuously pounded the figure
draped in a now soaking black cloak, footfalls could be heard reverberating
through the darkened night. After the figure hid behind a small tree three men
came running up the street, they each came to a stop only inches away form the
now hiding figure, after glancing about several times they continued down the
street leaving the street vacant once again.
Slowly and with great reluctance the figure
came out of hiding taking one last look to make sure that the coast was really
clear. Then the figure continued onwards heading down into a small local
street, the sign read �Binggler drive' and that�s when the figure knew
for sure that this was the right street.
After walking for another block or so the
figure came to a slow stop before rather nice home, there was a large bush in
the front yard nearest to the house. The house had two stories, and was painted
a shade that was just barely off-white, a small driveway lead up to the almost
complete garage.
�Apparently the family who lived here
wererenovating their house slightly by extending the garage�, with a swift
shake of the head the figure scolded itself for thinking of something that had
nothing to do with the subject on hand.
The house was nestled closely to the end of
the block and with a great sigh of disspair the figure walked up to the door of
the darkened house kneeling before the door. With great effort the figure drew
the small bundle out and cradled it close before gently setting it down upon
the porch before the door, as the cloak fluttered open slightly a the wind blew
icily the face of a woman was revealed.
Pulling out a heavy piece of vellum from a
hidden pocket in the cloak the woman kissed the parchment gently as she tucked
it into the folds of the bundle she had set down, then she reached up with a
delicately pale hand and gently rang the doorbell several times. She then
touched the bundle one last time before she turned about quickly and
disappeared inside the nearby bush, her tears mingling with that of the falling
rain.
Watching as the lights flickered on above the
porch, the woman huddled as best she could, keeping herself well hidden as the
door to the house opened slowly. Light spilled out into the darkened night,
revealing a man and a woman standing in the doorway dressed only in their
pajamas.
Looking about angrily the man cursed under
his breath, �Damn Kids! Can�t they at least take a break on a night like this!
God Damn it, and I had just about fallen asleep! Come-on honey, lets go back to
bed it was only a false alarm.�
But the woman remained completely still her
eyes focused on the bundle that sat only inches away, �What is that?� she
questioned as she knelt down and lifted the bundle into her arms.
The parchment fluttered to their feet and as
the man stooped to pick it up he heard a loud gasp at his side, looking over
quickly to if anything was wrong he found his wife�s eyes alight with sure joy
as she stared into the black bundle before her.The man stooped to the side
slightly to see what his wife had found so mesmerizing and was shocked to see a
small baby girl sleeping soundly in the embrace of the dark, damp cloth.
Almost immediately his wife�s eyes drifted to
meet his a look of utter longing in her eyes, he slowly shook his head as he
was about to say, �Hell No!� but he remembered the piece of forgotten
vellum that he still had clenched between his fingers. His wife started to hum
to herself happily when she noticed the note as well, her attention suddenly
focused on the piece of vellum her husband held. He opened it revealing in a
very nice hand a message explaining why the child was upon their doorstep and
no others.
The message read as follows,
�Sir, Madam.
I ask humbly that you accept the child I
have left in your care, she is more precious to this world than anything else.
Her name is Kaoru and she is my only child Please forgive me for abandoning her
as I now have, but this is for her safety.
I have chosen you to care for my child
because you know of what my kind is, but be not alarmed my daughter has yet to
discover her dark lineage. For she is the princess of all Vampires and the very
fate of our people rest with her survival.
Right now my people are at war with that
of the Lycan's, there has been many attempts upon my child�s life, causing this
to be our last course of action to protect her. I assure you now that one day,
when the war is over and our kingdom is once again secure, I will return for my
child. Until then I have but one request, please love and raise my child as if
she were your very own. Until the day when our paths shall cross again, I wish
for you and her safety!
There is one last thing I must ask of
you, keep this note and keep it safe, within this note lies my child�s
birthright and it must be protected at all costs!
Good-bye.�
With that the man looked out into the night
completely puzzled, as he tried to see if the person who had left the note and
child still was out there or not. As the man turned back to his wife the look
of confusion still marring his brow, he was greeted with a beaming face.
His wife smiled broadly as she cradled the
child closely taking a step toward the edge of the porch, with a soft and
graceful movement the woman stepped out into the rain. She held an arm up in
the air as she slowly pulled a fingernail across her forearm, causing a thin
line of blood to appear the woman than touched the blood to the child�s lips.
As the child licked at the blood, the woman started to speak quietly, as if she
knew that there was someone still close-by watching.
�I promise, upon my blood that I will protect
and raise this child with every fiber of my being, and I shall await the day
that you will return and be reunited once again.�
Then the woman turned about and walked back
to her husband who quickly ripped at his nightshirt, wrapping the cloth about
her wound, ��let�s go inside, it�s about time we got to sleep. Besides, we�re
parents now!� After glancing behind her as she said that, the man ushered his
wife into the house shutting the door soundly behind him.
A moment or so later the light�s went out and
a silence settled as the light pitter-pat of the rain made the only noise in
the dark, mist filled night. With slow movement the woman in the black cloak
stepped out from the bushes and looked at the house. A sense of trust and
sureity that her daughter would be fine washed over her as she shook slightly
in the damp cloak.
With great effort the woman slowly spoke, her
breath coming out in puffs of mist in the chilled air, �good-bye Kaoru, my
daughter. Until the day we meet again.�
Then turning about with a grace that only
nobles had, the woman made her way back down the same street she had been on
earlier, leaving no trace of her presence behind.
The rain had washed away all of her footsteps
as she slowly disappeared into the darkened night, leaving behind her most
precious possession in the still night air.
