Secrets

Chapter 1

Everyone has secrets. Some more severe than others and some not. Kenshin had a big secret, he had a girlfriend. Doesn't sound like much of a big deal does it? But the best part is that she doesn't know he's the leader of the Crimson clan, one of the brother gangs. Oh but it gets better, she's pregnant.

Kenshin let out a frustrated sigh. How was he supposed to be the leader of one of the brother gangs, father a child, and make sure the child's mother knows nothing? This could pose a problem and there was absolutely no way he was going to tell Sano and Aoshi, the two other brother gang leaders.

Aoshi is the leader of the Kunai clan. He was just a few years younger than Kenshin and had a good head on his shoulders. As a child he was taken in by a man named Okina who was the leader of the Kunai clan then. After his death Aoshi inherited the responsibility of clan leader and he was to take care of Okina's granddaughter, Misao. Misao is just mad about Aoshi though which most gang members see as a burden. But rumor has it that if anything happens to Aoshi, Misao gets everything. It's also been rumored that they've been seen together 'romantically'. But who knows? Rumors are rumors.

Sano's clan is called the Venom clan. Sano's not the sharpest guy in the world but his 2nd in command is a pretty cunning girl. Sano would do anything for her which causes his gang members to question his actual authority as their leader. But little do they know that the two have a secret that binds them together forever. Before Megumi arrived in his life Sano had been running his clan since the death of his beloved leader Captain Sagara, which puts him as the oldest leader of the three brother gangs even though he's the youngest out of all of them. Though his reign has been long he and Aoshi know there place as the lower brother gangs, all through out time the Crimson clan has been the ruling clan.

Finally having enough debating with himself, Kenshin went over to the Kunai hide out for the weekly meeting.

Aoshi was lying on the couch when Kenshin arrived. His head lay in Misao's lap. No wonder everyone thought they were romantically involved with each other.

Megumi and Sano sat across from them on the other couch. They sat on opposite ends of each other which meant there had been an argument.

Kenshin almost felt like turning around and heading back home. But this was his duty and his guardian, Hiko, had entrusted him with it.

"Hello Ken" Megumi greeted.

"Kenshin would you tell that insufferable woman that she is only my 2nd and has no say in any of my business unless she's asked." Sano spat.

"Sano, I swear if you…"

Aoshi had changed his position and now he was sitting up with his legs stretched out across the couch with Misao sitting on his lap. Once again that gave the couple effect.

"Oro?" Kenshin replied.

Sano and Megumi were in the midst of a big blow out.

"I believe we have business to discuss." Aoshi raised his voice.

Sano and Megumi silenced themselves and Kenshin took his seat.

"Before the meeting is called I'd like to ask a question Aoshi." Sano stated.

Aoshi nodded.

"Are you and Misao a 'couple'?"

"I am Misao's caretaker and what we do behind closed door is our business. But if you must know, Misao is very close to me."

There was a moment of silence then the meeting was finally called to order.

"Umm, Kenshin?" Misao asked.

"Hmm?" He responded.

"Are you feeling up to a meeting?"

"Not really Misao, why don't you hold it for me and I'll listen."

Misao was beaming. "Ok, we'll start with Sano and Megumi."

"I'd prefer if you didn't use our names together." Megumi muttered.

"The Tokugana gang tried to take over part of our territory but they were taken care of." Sano ignored Megumi's snide comment.

Attention turned to Aoshi.

"Nothing really for my clan, it's been rather peaceful."

"Anything to say Kenshin?" Misao asked before concluding the meeting.

"End of meeting. Let's eat."

After every meeting they always had a luncheon.

Kenshin wasn't acting normal but only Misao took note. She'd find out one way or another.

When Kenshin got home he stripped off everything but his boxers and fell into bed. He sighed and his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Kenshin, it's me Kaoru."

"What is it?"

"I just wanted to talk."

"Ok."

"I love you Kenshin and I hope this baby thing hasn't destroyed our relationship."

"No Kaoru, I still feel the same way about you I just have some things to work out."

"Oh well, I'd like to know if maybe we can have lunch on Friday?"

"Of course baby, I'll be at your house at 2:00."

"I love you."

"Love you too."

"Bye."

Kenshin rubbed his temples. He had a few options. He could either tell Kaoru he was a gang leader, tell Aoshi and Sano he was going to be a father, or just leave to be with Kaoru with a word to anyone. Closing his eyes he drifted off to sleep.

Misao sat down on the bed she and Aoshi shared. Aoshi was laying under the blankets reading a book.

"Is something troubling you?" He asked.

"No." She lied.

There was silence for awhile until Aoshi murmured something.

"What?"

"Nothing, let's go to sleep."

"I have to change first."

She came back dressed in one of his t-shirts and laid down next to him.

"Good night."

"Night."

What truly was bothering Misao though was Kenshin. There was something truly eerie about him.
