Msos: Ruruoni Kenshin fic, finally I came up with an idea! I don't own RK either happy? Pairings? K/K, S/M, T/Y and S/M sorry Aoshi and misao fans there will be a bit at the beginning but then its Soujiro and misao the rest of the way, and Aoshi will realize something else.2 or 3 years later btw

~*~

The rain was coming down softly at Kyoto, her day passed by slowly wondering if he would ever come back to the cheerful 16 year old he used to be. Sighing Misao wondered what to do that would grab his attention.

'Maybe if I were to wear a kimono, I mean it's not like my regular outfits will disappear, right?' Contemplating way she could get his attention a stranger entered a familiar town.

~??? Pov~

Ahh yes Kyoto, I remember it so well, it was where Shishio-sama met his down fall, I wonder how those 4 are doing. Since becoming a ruruoni I've never really gotten a way to express my emotions, I always have my smile on.

I walked down the wet streets with closed stalls when I came to a restaurant, the Aoiya, I really should go in and apologize I think. Opening the sliding door I walked in wet when I heard a scream

~*~

The scream had come from Misao because finally there was something to do, namely serve a customer, it would surely help get him off her mind, wouldn't it? Misao was heard running down the stairs when she saw a young man if a blue gi and a regular kind of bottom pants and a western stylized shirt.they looked very old and tattered though.

"Hi I'm Misao have you come to eat here today?" Soujiro thought she was very exited, and he would hate to disappoint the young girl, plus he had enough money.

"Uhh yes I have, I would also like to speak to speak to Shinomori-san please"

~misao's pov~

I looked at the young man curiously when I suddenly remembered something when he said Aoishi-sama's name, SHIT! I forgot his tea I looked at the young man once again disguising my horror

"I'm very sorry he's at the temple, where I have to go to bring him his tea, perhaps if you tell me your name I can lure him out of the temple, while I'm doing so I'll have Okon or Omasu help you"

The young man smiled politely and said simple, "My name is Soujiro, I might be gone by the time you come back, after all I am a ruruoni and I must travel once again soon, but I will wait as long as possible"

I smiled and excused myself to get Okon or Omasu

~Soujiro pov~

After giving her my name and waiting for her to get someone to help me I saw Himura-san and some others enter, a man that looked like a rooster, a kitsune looking female, a takuni girl, and 2 others who were holding hands, a young boy no older than 14 or 15 and a girl of 14 perhaps.

I looked at the group and smiled at them, waving I grinned "hello Himura- san, who are your friends?"

Himura-san looked pretty shocked I was here though and managed to sputter a "Soujiro?"

I smiled broadly towards the group and just said "Well Himura-san it has been a while has it not? I've come here to apologize to Shinomori-san for my behavings and being a part of the jupon gatana a few years ago then I was going to stop in Tokyo but since you're here I must Apologize now"

Quickly bowing to him I said "I was a bit of a mess back then and hadn't cleared my mind, but after becoming a ruruoni who protects and doesn't kill I see what you meant and I am truly grateful to you, who made me see the light"

Suddenly I heard 3 squeals behind me

~*~

Okon and Omasu had been squealing because of the cute young man who had stopped by not noticing Kenshin-gumi unlike Misao who had squealed for that reason.

"Kaoru-san, Megumi-san! How are you? It's been so long, and whose this cute girl next to our handsome little Yahiko?"

The young girl blushed, while Yahiko's eye brow twitched when he finally yelled catching the 2 girls and the Soujiro's attention "I'm not little, I'm 15 and a master of a the kamiya kashin style and learning the Hiten mitsurugi style!"

This is when Sano had to enter, "Yes we all know this Yahiko, but Misao doesn't, we haven't visited her since she left with Aoshi and the others!"

Yahiko putting on a goofy face mumbled something and Misao could only catch something about Sano and stupid roosters. I laughed and then the door opened to reveal a wet Aoshi-sama, who looked extremely angry, and we all knew why

"Ahem, sorry I came to fetch some tea since no one has brought it to me yet, now if you'll"

Of course Soujiro decided to interrupt him "Hello Shinormori- san, I see your place has been rebuilt, but I have come to apologize for the jupon gatana incident, well I have outlived my stay I must go back on the road" With that he bowed and headed for the door when

"NOOOOO, YOU SHOULDN'T GO, YOU HAVE TO STAY!!!!" Everyone including Soujiro had covered their ears, those 2 women had really loud voices.

Soujiro of course was still heading out the door, with plugged ear, just in case when Aoshi decided to block the door way

"A young boy at your age that has slept in the wild all this time should take a rest, the Aoiya invites you to stay here, but we will not force you"

Soujiro's face was blank, like he was thinking weather to stay ot not when he put a happy grin on "Sure I'll stay, it has been a while since I've slept in a futon and gotten some new clothes, but I insist I pay you or your hospitality in some sort of way"

Misao this time got a very happy look on her face "Can you cook Soujiro- chan?"

Soujiro just looked towards her and nodded "Well I had to cook for the jupon gattana since they had not clue how too"

Misao with a smile from her ear to the other cheerily told him "Good, because Okon and Omasu have food poisoning in them, it's amazing I've lived all these years ne Aoshi-sama?"

"Anyways Kenshin, why have you visited? Is it a social call?"

A smile was somewhat wiped of the groups face "It seems as if Enishi, the brother of my former wife, has set out to kill all of us, he has set fire to the dojo and attacked Yahiko and Tsumbame while Yahiko walked her home, a good thing I've given Yahiko a katana for his birthday"

Misao looked shocked and then bursting with anger she yelled, somewhat "If that guy comes here we'll protect you, after all we are the onniwaban group!"

"Himura-gumi and Soujiro please follow me to your rooms"

As she led them she told them that some would have to share rooms since they only had 3 spares, big enough for 3 or 4 people.

Megumi, Kaoru and Tsubame led to a room next to Okon and Omasu and Soujiro, Sano, Kenshin and Yahiko were led to a room next to the 3 girls.

~soujiro's pov~

In a few hours I had cooked a lot of food, for a lot of people, with a lot of different types of food, sushi, noodles, rice, beef and some western dishes. Setting them down, I heard some one enter, which turned out to be Misao.

Politely asking "will you please get the others because this won't stay hot forever" Misao nodded still awed decided to rather get them she hollered "GET DOWN HERE NOW" Of course I had to cover my ears and wince

Opening one eye to check it was safe I saw everyone looking at my food, then placing themselves down very quickly.

Smiling I sat myself next to Misao and Yahiko since those were the only avalabile spots, unless you count Okon and Omasu with a spot between them beckoning me to come, which I think I'll take my chances with Misao.

When they all started eating I was thrown many compliments like "How did you make this it's wonderful!" and many other things.

~*~

Everyone continued to eat a little less quieter than before, Misao was not sayng a word at all though, just staring at her food and occasionally picking up some of her rice and putting it in her mouth.

Suddenly something shot past the people that Misao was facing and headed straight to her a scream was heard from Misao throughout the block
