Father


Mother


Hikaru Himura Aged: 17
Hikaru is the splitting image of Kenshin, he is personally the exact same a copy of his father. Although he is a bit more rough, and is sometimes restless to things. He can be a bit protective of his siblings but like Akria and Sai are he is more over protective of Yuzu and Yuri. His teacher is his father.


Akira Himura Aged: 17
Akira is just like Hikaru in looks alike to Kenshin just Akira has his mother’s eyes, his personality is like Yahiko’s though. Since Yahiko is his teacher now. He loves his family and is protective of his siblings.


Sai Himura Aged: 17
Sai doesn’t look to much like Kenshin nor his mother in fact he takes more of Sanosuke’s looks. He has Kenshin’s eyes and his uncle’s hair. He is a bit of a lazy and tempermental like his mother but also has Sanosuke and Yahiko’s personality. His teacher is Sanosuke.


Yuzu (Right side) and Yuri (Left side) Aged: 15
Yuzu is hyper and childish looking more like you but with her father’s hair color mixed with a tint of her mother’s too. She has a split personality but is mostly like Megumi. She tends to be like a fighter like Sanosuke more then Yin at that.

-HOW YOU MEET/KNOW EACH OTHER-

Again your older brother wanted to fight but this time you interfered and now he was chasing you. Running as fast as you could you knew Sano was a much better fighter then you and even though your temper could better his. Your fighting skills wouldn’t, you turned and ran down pass the bridge and over the stream.

Panting for the dearest air that left your lungs caused you to slow down a bit. You took in and out deep breaths hoping that you fooled your brother or at least get him off your tail. You turned right, and headed down the rows of markets that were on both sides with rows of people from the village purchasing their items.

You wrapped your right arm over you left where you were cut from the blade that was tossed by your older brother, in what you thought was a pointless fight.
‘Baka Sanosuke.’ You thought then ripped the arm sleeve off wrapping it around your arm, usually your brother wouldn’t yell or get mad with you but he was more upset that you protected his bounty rather then him. You weren’t sure if he knew you even got injured but that wasn’t what was on your mind.

“SAGARA YIN!” You hear someone scream and just as you thought you were safe, long lesson learned you were not there standing not ten feet from you in the crowd was your big brother Sanosuke Sagara. You started to laugh as he panted for his breath but then stopped and lazily started to run again, once more Sanosuke was hot on your tail so you kicked it up a notch and ran down different areas of the village until you were knocked down after bumping into someone. You stood up dusting yourself off then looked to the person you bumped into, holding your hand out.

As his eyes met your, you couldn’t help but get lost into his beautiful deep blue eyes and long radiant red hair.
“I’m so sorry.” You said repeating over and over.
“You shouldn’t have to keep repeating yourself; I am fine that I am.” He said, his voice soft like velvet and smooth like silk. You felt as if you were going to melt in that spot until you heard panting breath over your shoulder, and again took of in a blitz of a second.

-Kenshin’s POV-
My eyes narrowed at the male chasing her, she seemed to be in a bit of trouble. I decided to follow but found I was unable to find any trace of where they were headed; I headed on back to Miss Kaoru’s dojo. I placed the fish down and started to do the laundry, Yahiko was washing the floors complaining like he did as the children danced around me laughing.

“Kenshin?” Miss Kaoru called I looked over to her she smiled, walking over.
“Was that the fish you brought?” She asked, I nodded.
“Yes, that it is.” I replied, her smile grew but my thoughts brought the soft image of the girl that I saw earlier in the day. I could feel my cheeks get hot, and the girls below me giggle.

“Uncle Ken.” They sang, and I picked up the last item and hung it. I walked back into the dojo, and we all sat down to eat. Miss Kaoru cooked the fish, and rice. She passed it all around, and we began eating of course Yahiko started talking about how bad the food tasted and I couldn’t help but start to laugh, that was until Miss Kaoru got mad and hit Yahiko with her sandal.

-Regular POV-
“Ok, I didn’t mean to Sano but I wasn’t going to let you beat the crap out of my friend you know.” You said as Sanosuke wrapped your arm up. He sighed, letting you go.
“Earlier this guy came to me; he wants me to fight the battosai the manslayer.” Sano said looking at the fire in the middle where you were cooking some fish.
“Seriously, but why?” You asked, with a mouth full of rice.
“I don’t know why but he is paying me, so try not to get in the way this time.” He said seriously, you nodded taking another bite.

“So what you planning on doing tonight though?” You asked, seeing as he wasn’t eating yet.
“Going to check out the Battosai, see if he is a good enough opponent.” Sano said, you smiled seeing the glint in his eye.
“Alright try not to get killed bro.” You laughed, he cocked his brow like yeah right, me get killed don’t be funny expression.

-Kenshin’s POV-
The night’s fresh air lingered in like a thick fog holding onto a grudge in the back of my mind. My past I knew would haunt me and forever till my soul no long lives with my body. I took in a deep breath closing my eyes, everyone in their rooms as I sat out in front of the shoji door that lead to my room. Tonight seemed dim and cold like something merciless was to come.

I looked around noticing it was rather quiet too quiet, I stood up walking until I heard sounds echo and then I was suddenly knocked down by a hit to my midsection. I stood up, just as Yahiko and Miss Kaoru walked over seeing what was happening. As the man before me came to view I noticed it was the same man that was chasing the girl from before.

“You, better not piss Kenshin off.” Yahiko yells, the guy huffs as if it was nothing. We started to fight, and I got more serious. He seemed to be enjoying this with such injuries, I wanted to know if that girl was alright for her image burned in my mind. I grabbed him, looking him deadly in the eyes.
“What is your name?” He asked.
“Himura, Kenshin.” I said, his eyes rolled to the back of his head. I grabbed him shaking more to keep him awake. He repeated my name like he was memorizing it.

“Sagara, Sanosuke.” He said, I looked at him furiously with fire behind my eyes.
“The woman that was running from you is she alright, tell me.” I said, anger in my voice.
“Woman?” He questioned.
“Where is she.” I said a bit more, fire holding in my words like a dagger stabbing in.
“She- she is…fine and safe.” He responded and just as he was blacking out I heard a gasp from my side and behind.
“S-sanosuke!”

-Regular POV-
You ran over after seeing your brother pass out, the man with red hair stood up eyes wide looking back at you.
“Sano, wake up please wake up.” You cried, he moved a bit and you were happy knowing he was not dead.
“Y-yin.” Sanosuke called, he smiled half heartedly. Your eyes narrowed, in both relief and anger.
“OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR YIN!” Sanosuke shouted.

“For making me worried about you….BAKA!” You replied shouting at the end both you and Sanosuke argue, until a throat was cleared making you both quiet down. You stood up, and helped Sanosuke.
“Kenshin.” He called, looking back at his sword. Your eyes nearly fell out of their socket never once seeing your brother’s sword broken.
“Who sent you?” The red head asked your brother. He started to explain and you learned that the red head’s name was Kenshin Himura, and you all started to talk at their dojo.

-HOW IT HAPPENED-

“Yahiko!” Kaoru yelled, as you walked into her dojo. You sat down leaning against the wall as she and Yahiko continued to train.
“Take a defensive stance Yahiko, hey aren’t you listening to me? Yahiko?” Kaoru said, but followed his gaze towards your now sleeping form. Kenshin walked in with Sanosuke, Kaoru looks to them as she ends Yahiko’s training.
“I’ll go make some rice.” Kaoru says, and leaves. Yahiko soon follows out of the dojo to, Sanosuke moves forward lifting you up in his arms.

“If you want Sano, Miss Yin can take my bed and room to sleep until she wakes, that she can.” Kenshin offered to Sano. Your brother nodded and Kenshin lead the way to his room, he opened the door for Sano as your older brother laid you in Kenshin’s bed. Then Sano walked out as Kenshin closed the door and they both left leaving you to your rest.

-Kenshin’s POV-
We began to eat, then Miss Megumi walked in greeting us all with a basket of treats. She smiled elegantly but it soon faded as she looked to Sanosuke.
“Sir Ken, Sanosuke.” Megumi said as I looked up and so did Sano.
“Yes Miss Megumi?” I replied, Sano kept putting rice in his mouth but still listened.
“I am going to need your help with something later, but I was wondering Sanosuke.” She said, he stopped eating and looked to her. “With what?”

Miss Megumi sighed heavily. “Yin, was helping me but her temper got in the way with a person who walked in and dropped an injured man in a seat and left.” Sano closed his eyes, then opened them and started to stuff his face with more rice. I was wondering what happened so I asked. “Miss Megumi what happened with Yin.”

Sanosuke laughed. “It’s Yin, she probably went to yell at the guy.” Megumi glared but nodded, she opened her mouth but closed it. “That wasn’t all Miss Megumi?” I asked, Sano smiled eating still. “No, that wasn’t all, as Sanosuke said she did yell at the man but then the man yelled as slapped her.” She said and Sanosuke stood up, an angery expression upon his usually bad boy like act. “Did she just take it?” Sano asked Megumi.

Again another sharp sigh left the woman’s lips. “Sanosuke do you think she would?” Sano glared but replied with a growl in his voice.”No.” Yahiko, Miss Kaoru and I listened as Miss Megumi finished. “Yin got mad and fought back, in the end I was treating to not only the man he brought in but also the same man that dropped him and the one Yin beat up badly.”

“He got what he deserved.” Sano said and walked out already finished with his food. Miss Megumi looked back to us with out looking where Sanosuke was going. “So Miss Megumi I doubt you came all this way to just tell us this for no reason since we all know that she is just like her older brother.” Miss Kaoru said, and I agreed by a nod of my head.

“True, I knew that much. Sanosuke taught Yin well but her lazy side is getting in the way too.” She sighed but continued. “I went to their place but didn’t find her so I thought she might be here.” “She is.” Kaoru interrupted.
“Where?’ She asked but Miss Kaoru didn’t reply, I stood up.
“Sir Ken do you know where I could find Yin?” She asked me, I smiled with a small laugh rubbing the back of my head.

“I do, that I do…Sanosuke put her in my bed.” I stated.
“WHAT!” They both yelled out, and I sweat dropped knowing I shouldn’t of said what I did.
“Hey Ken-” Sano started but quickly went silent seeing the look on my face as he saw Kaoru looking like she was strangling me. “What are you doing to him?” He asked breaking the silence.

Miss Megumi stood up and looked to Sanosuke. “Take me to Kenshin’s room.” Then Kaoru stood up dropping what looked like my lifeless body, he looked down towards me as I nodded my head. “Why?” He questioned and Kaoru walked around her but stopped suddenly.

-Third person POV-

There standing befor Kaoru was the one girl, Yin. Sanosuke looked at his younger sibling and walked over to her. “I said that she was here.” He tells Yin. Kaoru backs up and takes a seat as Yin walked into everyone’s view. Her expression said it all; anger.
“S-sano!” She stuttered out in anger rising as Yin clutched her fist. Whipping around on her heel she went to strike but stopped mere inches from Sanosuke’s face, he smirked.

Yin sat down with a loud thud, she picked up a bowl with rice as Kaoru handed it to her. Sanosuke sat down next to her, with the looks from Megumi and Kenshin in sheer confusion and then they looked at Kaoru. Kenshin stayed in the state of confusion looking back to Sanosuke and Yin. Megumi figured the reason since she noticed how Sanosuke reacted to Yin.

“Lazy.” Yin yawned looking to Megumi. Seeming to already know, but silly Kenshin didn’t get it until he asked. “Lazy to what?”
“You see Yin is not only a good fighter but when she is force to be awaken she is… well always angry but is the most laziest to do anything but glare.” Sanosuke explained with a laugh then added pointing to Kaoru. “And Missy there got the meanest glare out of it cause Yin heard everything as we walked back here.”

“I see, well it figures. Yin is a Saraga after all and a relative to you.” Megumi snarled and stood up leaving. Yin shrugged her shoulders and finished her third rice bowl. Kaoru walked out and so did Sanosuke, leaving both Yin and Kenshin alone. “Yin?” Kenshin called, she looks up seeing a light blush on his face.
“M-hm?” She replied placing the small bowl down and turned her attention to the sexy red head bright blue eyed man sitting across from her.

As Kenshin opened his mouth to say what his thoughts were he closed it just as fast. He couldn’t help but looke at her through his own eyes, the eyes of a man with love and lust, desire and want. Although he had feelings for Kaoru but none of them reached the level he was feeling for Yin, and none of which he could grasp with out the thought of taking her in his bed, the lust of it sent waves of pleasure in his body with only just mere need to have her clinging to him.

His body shook with delight, moving to her as he held out his hand to her, which she gladly took. Her touch and his touch to each felt different so much so the tingling senation of small sparks could be felt. “Kenshin?” She said her voice to him always made him want her more, he pulled Yin to his chest leaning his head in to the smell of the blooming flower.

“Yin, there is something I wish to tell you. That I do, I must not hold back no more and just tell you how I feel.” He started, taking in a breath. “I love you, Yin Sagara. Yin closed her eyes feeling much relief as she went limp in Kenshin’s arms. She opened her eyes feeling he let up on his hug, leaning her chin up to meet his lips. Wrapping her own hands around him, they shared to most romantic lustfilled kiss ever known between the two.

“I love you, much more Kenshin Himura.” She said, as they broke apart for air. He unwrapped his arms around her mid-section as she unwrapped hers, he took her hand in his and lead her to the room she once woke up from. She smiled knowing what was going to happen, gazing to him meeting his eyes with her’s. Kenshin smiled opening and closing his door, he pulled her once again to him capturing her lips.

The small rolled bed below as he moved her down with out breaking their passionate tongue twisted kiss.

Her back touched the fabric as his hands move to her sides prompting him up as support. Yin wraps her arms around Kenshin’s neck deepening the heated kiss, in a moment to breath she slightly pulls back playing with his tongue with her’s. Then sticking her tongue in his mouth, Yin dominated taking her chance to roam every crevice in his mouth as her reward.

His lips moved from her’s down her cheek, chin and to her neck in search of something. Her soft spot was found rather fast as he nibbled and sucked over her skin, and shoulder.

“Nuuaahh, Kenshin.” She moaned grasping as he started nipping roughly at the tender spot. “Ken naa shin aahh.”
The sounds to him was like he flew to the clouds, loving the way they left her lips. She turned him into a wild beast, that hovered over her. The desire turned and twisted inside of him, she noticed the difference immediately but lust clouded her eyes as removed her upper kimono.

Exposing her breast, they bouced as her chest moved up and down. His right hand moved over her left breast. He began to massage with his hand as his lips kissed around her right breast, slowly he took his tongue over and around her right breast until it hardened in pleasure. Kenshin felt his erection grow stronger and Yin felt her core grow more heated feeling the dampness inbetween her thighs.

She arched her back, and moaned out again. “Kenshin.” He groaned hearing his name leave her lips like soft misty rain touch his face but with the warmth of the sun’s light. He sat up and removed the rest of her layers then, stood removing his cloths letting her see his erected member. Her eye grew as she sat up reaching for his thich long hard cock.

Her fingers wrapping around the base and shaft, she started to move her hand up and down over his shaft. Bringing her face inches from his head as she sticks her tongue out licking his tip, he groaned placing his hands on the back of her head as she took him deeper. Unable to control what either felt as she reached the other hand down her own body and to her clit massaging over further heightening her own sensation as she hummed in a moan at the back of her throat.

Kenshin felt the vibrations against his erection, he closed his eyes trying to stay calm enough before he was to climax out. She felt him pulse in her mouth moving back to the tip she stops sucking and starts to rub faster as she licks up and down keeping him moist. Again she felt him pulse moving back up to the tip, swirling her tongue around the head of his cock.

“Yin…ahh.” He groaned and then came. She licked and swallowed his seed as a taste. Kenshin leaned down noticing her hand in between her thighs, he grabs her hand pulls it up to his lips and licks her fingers clean. Then lays her back down on the bedding and moves himself in between her legs, and leans forward. She grasped his hair back arching her back as she felt his tongue move across her clit.

Feeling high off of ectascy, as he stuck two of his fingers inside of her wet opening. Starting out softly moving in and out, with him sucking on her clit roughly. His fingers became more lubercated and he noticed how slick with was becoming as her walls tightened around his fingers.

“Kenshin, naa” She moaned, he moved to her entrance and licked her up as she came into his mouth. Kenshin moved back tasting his treat the creamed up his lips as his tongue swirled around his mouth. He crawled his way up to her lips allowing Yin to taste herself upon his warm wet lips. She gasped feeling him erected again, and poking at her inner thigh.

“May I?” He kindly asked her, she nodded her head and turned her gaze away from his as he wrapped her leg around his waist. “Miss Yin there is no need for you to be embarrassed. Please look at me, I would be happy if you did that I would.” He said to her, Yin turned her face back to him as Kenshin sweetly smiled.

“Yes, you may.” Yin replies, as she wraps her arms around his neck. He leans in hugging her to his body, his face buried into the crook of her neck and on her shoulder. He swiftly entered her slowly going further and further until he was all the way in. Kenshin felt her silent tears touch his shoulder as she squeezed him tightly to her. He knew exactly why but said no words only his actions of comfort to her help. He slowly came out then again went back in until he was almost all the way.

Kenshin kept up the slow pace until he knew it was alright to go faster and harder. Silent moans escaped her lips as he started to pick up his pace, as Yin felt pleasure over pain she started to move her hips with his. “Kenshin, faster.” She moaned and as she said the last word he pulled all the way out and slammed back into her. Faster and deeper he went in and out, in and out. Her head tossed back, chest arched up and her grip no longer clinging to him.

“Naa, Kenshin ahh.” She moaned, lifting her hips up as he came back inside of her further deepening him into her. “Yin…hmm.” He groaned in pure breath taking bliss. Again, over and over they went until sweat droplest mesh agains their skin in silk like thread of beads.
“Kenshin!” She moaned, buring with desire as his skin clapped against hers loudly.
“Yin.” He moaned, in a low growl vibrating in the back of his throat.

Both in which felt more and more as they met each other’s thrust summoning them as one. Her walls tighten around his thick long length, his pulsing with electicity feeling both soon to climax mixing one another’s love juice. He thrusts again in and out, deep and hard. The vibrations of their body’s slapping fast and loud screamed to them as they came shouting at the top of their lungs each other’s name. “YIN…KENSHIN!”

He pulled out of her strings of their sex evident upon the cover they laid on, she turned to him upright then laid back down. Both exhausted falling asleep next to each other smiling as their hands hold each other’s. Sleep took over and both knowing they are one together made it some much better.

-HOW YOU FOUND OUT/ TOLD HIM-

Four months have gone by since then and two month ago Kenshin left to fight once more with Yahiko, Kaoru and Sanosuke by his side; which was also around the time you found out that you were with Kenshin’s child. Megumi stayed behind and you stayed with her, you wanted really to tell Kenshin but with his mind on certain things you felt it best not to so days after you didn’t find out you said nothing about it to him.

Only Kaoru knew of it but said nothing either, she only promised that everyone would return and to just wait. Hence what you are doing still, although you were a bit on the lazy side that didn’t mean you would stay sitting all the time and do nothing but Megumi argued over it all the time so you just let it go. Hormones were not your or Megumi’s bestfriend and because she didn’t want you to fight until way after the baby was here you were to stay put and out ot danger.

Megumi was busy at the moment and you got hungry, craving for something but you were unsure of what. Stampeds of horses stomped around as a tall man with black hair and eyes sees you near a food stand purchasing some stuff. You started to walk back but was stopped in your tracks as someone held your wrist firmly in their grasp.

“Sagara Yin?” He said, you turned around meeting his gaze.
“Yes and who are you?” You hissed. He smirked and pulled you towards the crowd there standing twenty feet from where you were was Kenshin and the others. The man hold your grasp lets go and gets back on his horse taking his leave. Sanosuke saw you and started to run, you dropped your food as he hugged you.

“Sano let…me…go.” You yelled having such trouble breathing as he was practically squeezing your last breath. By the time he let you go everyone was standing there smiling. Sanosuke looks up and down on you unable to picture what was diffenent until Yahiko shouts out loudly. “Yin your getting fat!”

Sanosuke along with Kaoru smacks Yahiko upside his head, but Kenshin stares at you trying to see why. Until Kaoru once finished smacking Yahiko said. “She’s not fat Yahiko, Yin is pregnant.” Then she covered her lips suddenly, Yahiko and Kenshin sweat drop looking at Yin as Sanosuke’s eyes widen in fear. “Yin, who is- wait you’re pregnant. How far?” Sanosuke asked his words diving from one to another.

“Ok first of all Sano, I am pregnant and four months long. TWO STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!” You say but at the end your brother glares, causing you to shout at him. Sano shakes his head as Kenshin walks over taking your hand. “Why didn’t you say something?” He asked you, unable to reply as it sunk in on Yahiko and Sanosuke who the father should or was.

“Wait why is Kenshin asking her?” Yahiko asked Kaoru, just as Kaoru was about to reply Sanosuke interrupts. “You bastard! You got her pregnant!” Kaoru shakes her head and Yahiko drops to a laugh. “SANO!” You scream, he looks to you. “What?” He growled and bang you punched him. Megumi suddenly showed up. “I thought I said no fighting Yin.” She mocked but laughed at Sanosuke.

-5 MONTHS LATER-

“Yahiko, could you bring me some tea. Cold please?” You asked, he nodded and left. Everyone was home except Kenshin went fishing, and Sano went to visit his friend. You leaned your head back, fanning yourself as Yahiko walks back in with your request.
“You ok Yin?” Yahiko asked, you shook your head.
“Not really I feel a bit of pain, help me stand Yahiko.” You asked, he shook his head.
“Megumi said your due any day and you shouldn’t strain yourself.” He replied.
“Yahiko help or I do it myself.” You threatened, he jumped and aided you.

“Thanks.” You say and he sweat dropped. As you started to walk to the door, Kaoru and Megumi stood in front ready to open them.
“What are you doing Yin.” Kaoru asked, Megumi glared.
“Hah I wanted fresh air.” You laughed. Then bellowed over in pain, dropping to your knees.
“Kaoru fetch some clean linen, Yahiko bring some warm water and fast.” Megumi instructed and they both nodded fetching the items. Megumi helped you lay down and lifted the bottom half of your kimono.

“Ahhh, it hurts.” You say clutching and unclutching your hands, Yahiko and Kaoru came back. Yahiko watches for a moment then pales to his face, Kaoru sends him away to bring Sanosuke and Kenshin back. You laid there breathing heavily, in pain beyond anything ever felt to you before.
“Keep breathing Yin.” Megumi says as she prepares herself for your birth. The pain became more unbareable and you were feeling it like a hundred time worse then and stabbing pain.

The doors opened with Yahiko, Sanosuke and Kenshin panting heavily out of breath from running. Yahiko stayed next to Sanosuke who sat on your right side and Kenshin took the left side. You continued to breath in and out as you were told to do while Kaoru wiped your forehead and Kenshin kissed your cheeks.
“Kenshin, you know Yin wouldn’t be in this pain if it weren’t for you.” Sanosuke mocked knowing that one kiss lead to this.

Kenshin and Yin both blushed, once Kenshin moved away. The pain grew and you wanted to see your child but more wanted your child to get the hell out already, and so you began to push.

-7 HOURS LATER-

You pushed, cried and pushed again. You yelled and got upset wanting your child out but alas the pain kicked around as the echo of your child’s cry came. Then another contraction and you started to go into labor again. You noticed your frist born son looked like Kenshin’s splitting image. You screamed again and yelled out. “Hikaru, aahh that is his name!” Kenshin nodded cradling his first born son after Megumi cleaned and wrapped him first.

-TWO MORE HOURS LATER-

You pushed and screamed just like Hikaru was doing, and Megumi leaned forward as another third crying echoed which soon became two but with in minutes after Megumi cleaned and wrapped up your second child you once again for the third time went into labor. Sanosuke took the child in his arms smiling happily as he showed you, your second son. You looked to Kenshin and said. “Your second son is Akira.” He nodded again and looked to Sanosuke.

-FORTY MINUTES LATER-

You huffed and puffed, exhausted as you pushed and breathed again for the third to in one day/ night. Finally you hear the scream and echoed cries of you third child, feeling relief you lay your head back to slumber but not before saying in a whisper “Sai.”

-EPILOUGE-

Two years after you gave birth to Hikaru, Akira and Sai; you then gave birth to twins. Naming them Yuzu and Yuri. Two month after your three son’s were born Kenshin asked for your hand in marriage which you gladly accepted.
