It is the end of autumn day.The chilly weather doesn't seems to bother Kenshin who is outside,hanging clothes out to dry.As he cheerfully doing the laundry,a speck of snow suddenly falls and lands softly on the tip of his nose.He brushes the snow off with his hand.He looked up in the sky and realizes it has already begun to snow.

Kenshin:It is snowed already?I better take this laundry in.

Kenshin packed the laundry up and went inside.Inside,he sees Yahiko and Sano covering in blankets.At first,he thought it was only a piled-up laundry.

Kenshin:Oro?You're all covered in blankets and i don't even recognizes you.

Yahiko:It's....f..fre.freezing in here!Can't you feel cold?

Yahiko:Hmm?What's the connection to that?

Sanosuke:A kenkaku got a builded up dicipline and survival,so they won't get affected by cold.Baka,you should learn more

Kenshin:**laughs**Sano,don't say about that about me.It's nonsense anyway.

Kaoru shows up bringing some hot steaming tea and wearing the orange-yellow kimono as usual.

Kaoru:Here,drink up.It will make you feel better.**puts down the tray then sits beside Kenshin**

Sanosuke:Ah Jou-chan,mind if i ask you this? Is this tea being made by you?

Yahiko:Urgh! **chokes when he heard that question**

Kaoru:No,it was Megumi-san.You forgot she was here.

Sanosuke:Oh,that's good.**drinks up**

Kaoru:.........**fumes as she realizes what the question is for**

Kenshin looks out of the opened window.

Kenshin:It started to snow heavily now.

Sanosuke:Snow?I didn't realize that.Time sure flies fast.

Yahiko:Never mind about tha,i'm outta here!

Yahiko jumps out of the doujou and landed on the thickening snow.Kenshin and others came out to join.

Kenshin:Oro?It snowed heavily than i expected.

Suddenly a splat of snowball landed on the unsuspecting Kaoru's face.Kaoru,outraged,brushes the snow off and glare at the laughing boy.

Kaoru:Why....you....you....**fumes**

Kaoru packed up a snowball,and throws back at Yahiko.Yahiko response back by throwing a snowball but this time it landed on Megumi's face.

Megumi:So you want to play eh?I'm challenging you!

Megumi throws a snowball to Yahiko.In the end,everyone was throwing snowballs but except Kenshin.He sits down at the front porch,watching.Kenshin stares out in the cold pale white snow,when suddenly he smelt the familiar scent.The scent had been haunting him for 15 years.He thought it may be his illusions and ignored at first.But his thoughts are broken,when he sees a familiar figure,staring at him.Kenshin,is shocked.

Kenshin:(T...T....Tomoe...)**eyes widened**

Tomoe's soul kept staring at him,but later she started to smile in a mixed sad and radiant smile.Kenshin,reached out his hands but a gust of wind blew in.Tomoe's soul,dissapears into thin air.He heard her voice echoing in the wind,saying (Kenshin.....).Kenshin's eyes widened again,in shock.Kaoru noticed the problems.She went straight to Kenshin.

Kaoru:Kenshin?

Kenshin didn't response.

Kaoru:Kenshin! **holds his face**

Kenshin snapped into reality.

Kenshin:Hai,Kaoru-dono?

Kaoru:Is something wrong?You looked absolutely shocked a few minutes ago.

Kenshin:**smiles**No,i'm fine.The day is getting dark,we must go inside before.....

Just about Kenshin wants to finish up his sentences,a pile of snow dropped on Yahiko and turns him into a living snowboy.

Kenshin:.......anything happens..**sweatdrop**

Yahiko:Hey!Get me outta here!

::Go on to Chapter 2::**Umm....not yet done!**
