~~Heart of Confused Love~~
It had been fifteen years after Kenshin and Kaoru's wedding. As well as fourteen years since Aoshi and Misao's, as well as Sanosuke and Megumi's. Times were good for a change, and Kenji as well as his friends of the chibi Kenshin-gumi, were growing up.
Kenji watched on as his two best friends continued their gambling. He knew those two were in for it if their mother, Megumi, found out what they were doing, but if their father found out, they'd get a pat on the back.
"So, how much you wanna bet, eh?" asked the more sly of the twins, Denosuke.
"I bet 10, 000 yen! No more, no less!!!" cried out the overly heavy and poor looking man.
Denosuke smiled, wickedly. "Is that your final answer?" he asked.
The man grunted a yes.
Denosuke showed the man his cards, which happened to be the winning ones, and took the money. At the table behind him and to his back, was Chinosuke, his identical twin.
Chinosuke smiled as well. "Are you sure you want to put that down?" he asked, sly, but not as much as his brother.
The woman sitting at the other side of the table blinked several times, thinking of her answer. She was the only woman in the room, and she had to be careful. She moved around uncomfortably in her large puffy blue dress. She winked at Chinosuke and whispered, "Yes."
Chinosuke showed her his cards, which was also the winning hand, and took her money.
Both Chinosuke and Denosuke stood up, thanked their opponent for the lovely evening, and walked over to where Kenji was sitting. "What?" they both asked.
Kenji sighed, "Oh nothing. . . nothing. It's just that you know if your mother finds out it'll be the devil to pay. . ."
"Oh shut up, Kenji! Live a little, will ya???" Denosuke joked, his golden brown eyes twinkling a bit at the thought of THE Kenji living a little. Sure, Kenji lived a lot. He had the girls falling ALL over him.
Chinosuke followed with the flow, "Yah Kenji, don't you ever gamble?"
Kenji sighed, standing up, "Sure sure. . . Whatever you say, boys. . ."
Denosuke smiled, smugly, "Oh hey, when's the weasel coming?"
Chinosuke hit Denosuke on his shoulder, "Hey man, stop calling her that!!! She's a pretty girl!"
Denosuke and Kenji gaped at him.
"What???"
"Oh nothing. . . nothing at all. . ." they both murmured.
Suddenly, the door burst open and a girl extremely short looking stomped in the room. "I KNEW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME!!! YOU IDIOT!!! I'M NOT A WEASEL!!!" She slapped Denosuke hard on the cheek.
Denosuke rubbed his cheek that burnt red. "I'm sorry Mikaro. . . I'm sorry. . . Geezzz. . . Anyway, what are you doing here, missy???" he asked.
Mikaro's expression of pure hatred washed away and transformed to pure joy. "MEGUMI sent me over here to fetch you guys. She KNOWS you've been over here, and guess what??? You're all in big trouble!!!" she crossed her arms.
Kenji pointed to himself, "What did 'I' do???"
"You let them come here!"
"Do you REALLY think I'd be able to stop them??? They're addicted I tell you!"
"Use your talents, Kenji!" Mikaro swished her ankle long raven hair about herself as if to prove something to him.
"What, with a sword?!? I'd hurt them!"
"So?"
"Ohhh. . . boy. . ."
The four walked home, chatting about the upcoming school year. It was August, nearly school time, and they were all prepared to tell their mothers they were sick and couldn't go to school.
"Well, I for one want to know what teacher you have!" Mikaro claimed.
"Hiko. . ." the twins sighed.
"Really??? So do I!!!"
"Oh joy. . . another year with the weasel. . ."
"TAKE THAT BACK YOU BULLY!!!"
"OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kenji and Chinosuke watched in amusement as Mikaro started to punch the living day lights out of Denosuke. Kenji sighed, "Well, it seems we're all in the same class because I have Hiko also."
Chinosuke smiled, "Cool! Maybe this year will be better! We don't have Saitoh anymore!!!"
Chills went up and down the teenagers spines at just the sound of his name.
Denosuke crept over to Kenji, sly look on his face. "Ya know. . . I heard that Hiko is an insane maniac that tortures his students!"
Kenji gave him a look that pretty much said, "You've GOT to be kidding me."
Mikaro walked up to him and said, "Well 'I' heard that he's a sword expert and he's the one who was the master of the famous Hitokiri Battousai!!!"
Kenji laughed aloud, "HA!!! The Battousai was a wimp! He didn't know anything about swords, I bet he had some guy that lurked in the shadows do all the killing for him!"
Little did Kenji know, he was talking about his own father.
Mikaro stopped at her house. "Well, see you guys later!" she said.
The boys all waved goodbye to her and Denosuke could be heard saying, "Good riddance. . ."
Kenji stopped at his own wonderful and homey looking house and waved goodbye to the twins, who were walking EXTREMELY slow so they didn't get home very fast, avoiding the evil words Megumi was bound to say.
Kenji walked into his home, greeted his mother and sat down at the table. Kenshin walked in the room, and violet eyes looked into violet eyes.
"How was your day, Kenji?" Kenshin asked.
Kenji smiled, "Okay. Me and Denosuke and Chinosuke just hanged around a bit. Nothing much." Then Kenji paused, before saying, "They got in trouble again for gambling."
Kaoru laughed evilly. "JUST like their father. . . Always gambling. . ."
Kenji raised an eyebrow.
Kenshin sighed, "Don't ask."
Kenji nodded.
Kaoru walked over to them with her disgusting looking dinner. "Hey, school is coming up soon!"
Kenshin smiled, "Yes! I heard you were going to be with Hiko this year!"
Kaoru spat out the sake she was drinking. "WHAT??????????"
Kenshin smiled, weakly, "Uhhh. . . He's in Hiko's class. . .?"
Kaoru sighed, "Oh god. . . please no!!!"
Kenji smirked, "Mikaro was saying that she heard he was the master of the famous Hitokiri Battousai, but I highly doubt it. Battousai was a fraud, he probably had somebody lurking in the shadows who killed for him just to make him look good."
Kenshin froze at the thought, Kenji's words ringing in his ears. His son really thought so badly of his own father. . . What would Kenji's reaction be to finding out his father's true nature???
"Dad. . . Something wrong?"
Kenshin snapped out of his daze, "Oh no, Kenji. Nothing is wrong. Everything's just fine. . ."
