I do not own Rurouni Kenshin and Inuyasha

Chapter One: Yahiko's Memories

Yahiko's dream

"Papa wait up!" shouted a four year old Myojin Yahiko as he ran after his father who was running. Yahiko watched as a sword went right through his father, it seemed like no one was there but there was a man laughing in the distance.

"Well that wasn't fun," said a man coming forward, yahiko watched him with fear in his eyes. "oh so he was protecting you kid, I can't wait until you grow up then I'm sure you look better than your father over here."

"S-s-stay away from me!" cried Yahiko backing away from the man, who had his hair up and looked like a woman.

"Ahhh now why would I do that?" asked then man running forward and grabbing Yahiko's wrist tightly so he wouldn't escape. "I only want to touch you."

"LET ME GO!" screamed Yahiko as the man's lips closed over his, Yahiko tried to get away but the man's arms snaked around his shoulders pulling him forward. The man slipped his tongue into Yahiko's mouth before pulling away and grabbed Yahiko by his neck.

"You know once you get older I might try some more adult things on you kid," said the man, snuggling his face into his neck. "but first I need away to find you, Myojin-bouzu."

"GO AWAY!" shouted Yahiko as the man bit into his neck, a loud cry slipped passed Yahiko's lips as blood was drawn slipping down. The man pulled back and licked the blood off his lips, he laid Yahiko down saying, "Thanks kid, by the way I'm already dead and my name is Jakotsu."

End of Yahiko's dream

Yahiko sat up in his cot very quickly breathing heavily and holding his neck.

"Yahiko are you alright?" asked Kaoru opening up the door his face full of concern.

"Yes Kenshin I'm fine," said Yahiko standing up but finding out that it wasn't a good idea at the time.

"You don't look to good kid," said Megumi poking her head in only to get hit by the pillow and Yahiko rolling over going back to sleep. "that hurt brat."

"Leave me alone," said Yahiko, his eyes closed, his hand still on his neck, "I just want to stay here today and hide from that bastard."

"Who are you talking to?" asked Megumi, Yahiko turned over and glared at her. "save me Kaoru!"

"Yahiko what are you doing?" asked Kaoru walking over to Yahiko and pulling him out of the cot. "we are leaving for Kyoto to look for Kenshin!"

"Kyoto is where my father died," said Yahiko standing up and looked over at Kaoru who was turning around. "and Kyoto is also the place where I got this scar on my neck."

"Scar?" asked Megumi, Yahiko pulled down his collar to reveal something that looked like a bite mark. "what happened?"

"I'm not saying," said Yahiko, he turned around and began removing his pajamas. The girls got the idea and left his room shutting the door, Yahiko smiled as he dressed in his normal clothes before opening the door. Only to shut the door and turned around, grabbing his bamboo shinai he held it up to a smiling teen.

"I never expected you to notice me so fast," said the boy, Yahiko's eyes narrowed. "I am only here for Kamiya Kaoru please move."

"KAORU GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" shouted Yahiko keeping the door close, he heard Kaoru ask why. "NO QUESTIONS, MEGUMI GET HER OUT OF HERE!"

He heard Megumi drag a screaming Kaoru from the house, he lifted up his weapon saying. "I will not let you take Kaoru!"

"Oh that was unwise kid," said the teen walking towards him, Yahiko concentrated on the hall way and vanished. He began to run down the hallway, soon the teen was in front of him.

"You are pretty fast kid," said the teen, Yahiko concentrated on the front gate and vanished again. "huh where did he go?"

Yahiko ran down the street focused on his surroundings, he soon heard the teen coming up behind him. 'The boat!' thought Yahiko, his body began to fade but the boy grabbed him and he fell losing his concentration.

"Now you can't run anymore without dragging you with me," said the teen holding Yahiko down with his hand. "ahh and the girl got away, Shishio-sama is going to be mad at me."

"Let me go," growled Yahiko his eyes filled with fear, was this teen related to the one who bit him six years ago. 'I guess this kid will have to fill in for the girl, after all the Battosai values all of his friends.' The teen picked up a rock and smashed it over Yahiko's head effectively knocking him out. Thee teen vanished as he ran all the way to Kyoto with Yahiko slung over his shoulder.

-In Kyoto- seven days later

"Soujiro where is the Kamiya girl?" asked a man in bandages (Shishio) as the teen walked in with Yahiko over his shoulder.

"This boy let her escape," said Soujiro, lifting Yahiko off his shoulder and throwing him on the ground. "this is another friend of Kenshin and he uses an ability that allows him to teleport anywhere he concentrates on."

"This boy is a very dangerous one," said a voice in the shadows, a feminine man walked out of the shadows, Yahiko opened his eyes and froze not able to say anything. "but he is already marked by me."
