It was a warm spring day in the year 1883 in at the Kamiya Dojo.The owner of the dojo Kaoru Kamiya(age 21) was in the training hall teaching her students about counterattacks in swordsmanship.She called on Yahiko Myojin(age 14),one of the students she had found after the fake Battosai the Manslayer was defeated,to help her in a demonstration.Yahiko,eager to show Kaoru how much he had learned jumped to his feet,grabbed his katana,and stood across from Kaoru."Now Yahiko,"Kaoru said in a soft tone."I want you to swing at me with everything you got."Of course,that would be easy for Yahiko because he always gives his all when he swings a katana."Alright Kaoru,"he replied in an understanding way.As instructed,he swung his katana at Kaoru.Kaoru blocked the swng with her katana."Now,in order to successfully counter this type of attack,you must react quickly.As soon as the swords separate again,quickly swing your sword again and don't give your opponent time to react."She explained to her students.Yahiko,noticing that Kaoru had dropped her guard,quickly swung his katana at her,hitting her in the back of the head.He then began to laugh dropping his own guard.This allowed Kaoru to whack him over the head with her sword.Because Kaoru was older than Yahiko,her swing had alot more force to it.

At that moment,the bell to end the class for the day rang.The students all left to go home,leaving Kaoru to deal with Yahiko.Kaoru scolded Yahiko for his actions to attack her while she was explaining the lesson to her students."It was rude of you to go and hit me like that!"She yelled."I was just showing the students what you were telling them!You didn't have to hit me so hard!"Yahiko responded.Hearing the noise,Kenshin Himura,once a wandering swordsman and Kaoru's husband entered the dojo."Now,now there is no need to argue,that there isn't,"he said trying to restore peace to the room."Well we wouldn't be having this argument if Yahiko would have just followed my instructions."Kaoru said under her breath so only Kenshin could hear."Well Kaoru,if you weren't taking so long to explain things,maybe I wouldn't have to hit you."Yahiko muttered,having heard Kaoru's remark.Kenshin,who seemed to always be caught up in the arguments goes to get some tea for the both of them.Kenshin's tea succeeded in getting them to calm down."
