My dear oneesan,
It's been such a long time since I first wrote to you a letter. I think it was a good luck letter when you joined the Urabuto Satsoujin. I'm glad that you survived that tournament. You don't know how much I've been through calming okasan down and convincing otosan not to go after you. I guess you were right. You did pull through with everything. We are so pruod of you. You know I always look up to you. But, there is something that has been upseting me and our parents. It's about your reason to fight: revenge.
I know that Mifuyu-san has been so nice to you. Even though you know that she isn't your real relative, you still treat her as your elder sister. You really treasure her so much that you swore revenge to those who killed her. But, oneesan, haven't you sacrificed enough already? You have given up so much even your emotions just to be in proper condition to fight. You have become a person lost in his own world. Sometimes, I don't see you as the Himura Tokiya I once knew and loved. You were such a joyful brother before. You even surpass the methods of making people laugh of otosan. The Himura Tokiya which is my brother and the son of Himura Kenshin and Himura Kaoru has become Mikagami Tokiya. I have no intentions of ruining the Mikagami clan by their name but what I'm describing right now is not a Mikagami or Himura Tokiya but Mikagami Tokiya.
You might think that keeping anger in your heart is the best way to accumulate strength. Well, you're wrong oneesan. It is not. The way to achieve true strength is to look deep inside your heart and discover your strengths there. I have learned that from our parents. They got the true strength that nobody can surpass or even e equal to it. they even went from hell and back because of their capabilities. They wish that we could get this unbelievable strength too but instead you fell to your own hatred and I came after you.
I came after you...............that's right. I have lived for my own hatred too. The hatred of losing my loving brother, Himura Tokiya. That's why I tried to challenge the Hyomon Ken master Mikagami Tokiya and fight him using the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu combined with the Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu. It's too bad I lost. It's too bad that I gave in to my hatred. I know someday, you will have a series of failures because of your hatred. There might come a time that you'll die so young because of this.
What I together with our parents are trying to say is that you should change. Make your killing sword and sword technique to defending people. Forgive those who killed Mifuyu-san and change back to Himura Tokiya. Like otosan, you will have infinite mortal powers that you could imagine. Maybe Recca-kun won't be able to have this power. There are too many people suffering from physical abuses. Pls. help them using your sword and I will assist you all the way. I'm sure we can make our parents proud of us.
Before I forget oneesan. If ever you feel sad about anything, anything at all, your friends are their to help you. Recca-kun, Yanagi-chan, Fuuko-chan, Domon-kun and Kaoru-kun are always there beside you in good times or bad, in school or in battle. Mifuyu-san is up there looking after you. I'm sure she will be so happy when she hears that you have changed. If they can't help you, we will, your family. Kenshin-papa, Kaoru-mama and I will be more than happy to assist you. We family members have to stick together, right? But remember, the true help that you're searching for is inside you always.
I hope you can transform back to my lovable, cheerful and very handsome brother, Himura Tokiya very soon.
Your very concerned imouto,
Himura Nariko
P.S. Otosan and Okasan says hi!
