Sessha is Tired! That I Am!
Chapter 1
"Kenshin!, are you asleep again? I need you to go and get some tofu."
Shaking himself awake from his light doze on the porch of the dojo, Kenshin meekly replied, "Yes, Kaoru-dono, sessha is ready to go."
"Oh, and while you're there, don't forget to go by the clinic and pick up some salve for Yahiko's blisters."
"Yes, Kaoru-dono, I hear you, that I do."
" Then after that go to the tea shop and get some more green tea."
"Yes, Kaoru-dono, that I will."
"Oh, and then I will be needing some radishes for dinner tonight too, doesn't that sound good?"
"Only if I'm cooking," thought Kenshin ungraciously, beginning to weary of the nagging.
But, he plastered that stupid long-suffering grin on his face and meekly said, "Yes, it does, Kaoru-dono. I'll be back as soon as I can."
He grabbed his sakabattou and ran out before the list of requests could be added to.(Talk about your god-like speed!)
As he walked along, he began to have a few more ungracious thoughts.
"Sessha is only human," he ranted to himself. "Kaoru is such a slave driver, no wonder poor Yahiko has blisters! And, what am I, her servant? I must be the only samurai in the whole of Japan with dishpan hands and housemaid's knees! Sessha deserves a vacation, that I do!"
"I wonder what Sano is doing, that lazy rooster-head? Probably taking a nice, long nap after a night of gambling and sake. Sessha deserves to have a little fun like that, too. I'm SOO tired of housework!"
