Kaoru sighed. It had been nearly a year since Sano had left the Dojo to travel the world and Yahiko had married Tsubame and had left to start his own Kenjutsu dojo. "Life around here is starting to get dull again" she said as She sighed again. Kenshin was in the Dojo teaching young Kenji some sword kata. Kenji was beginning to shape up as quite a swordsman just like his father. It had taken some time but Kenji finally got used to his father. Sano's younger Brother had come from up North to train under Kaoru and was also quite a skilled fighter although he was turning into more of a staff fighter and had left the dojo in search of a naginata dojo. Kaoru stood on the porch of the Dojo and looked into the far off distance She sighed once more. "Kenshin said that Sano sent a letter recently but he still hasn't told me what it said" a look of anger crossed her face. She suddenly stood up and marched into the Dojo. "Kenshin!!!!!" she yelled. "Orororororoooooooo.." Kenshin wailed as he saw the angered look of his wife. "Kenshin you moron! Sano sent us a letter and you STILL havent told me what he said" she screamed. Kenji ran out of the dojo in fear of his mother wrath. Kenshin looked up and replied, "well the letter is in the house on the table. (jeeezzz cant even take the time to look around???)" Kaoru turned red. "Well u coulda told me!!' she yelled "I Just did" Kenshin replied. Kaoru stormed out of the dojo muttering about why did she bother to keep Kenshin. Kenji peeked back into the dojo. He quietly stepped back into the dojo and picked up the bokken he had dropped. "Father?" he asked. "yes?" Kenshin replied. "Theres a man out side that says he knows you and he's been looking for you." Kenji said. "Hmmmmmm" Kenshin frowned at the youngsters statement. "Kenji? What does he look like?" Kenshin inquired. "Well hes got black hair that looks kinda like a rooster and he wearing a white jacket and its says "evil" on the back" Kenji said looking up at his father. Kenshins frown slowly turned into a smile as he rushed out of the Dojo. There stood Sano, a year older but the same old Sano. "There you are Kenshin (whats with the hair???)" Sano called out. "Sano!" Kenshin yelled as he looked forward at his old friend. "Hey where's the babe and I see a little boy there behind your leg, who's he?" Sano asked a little less that politely. Kaoru's inside reading the letter you sent a while back and this is my son Kenji. Sano's jaw dropped. "Y-y-y-your son?!?!" He exclaimed. "Kenshin looked at him. "uhhhhhh yeah?" he replied. Sano ran over and slapped him on the back. "Well done Kenshin" he yelled. "Yeah thanks" he said. "(and don't hit so hard)". Kaoru stepped out of the house. "Kenshin who are you talking to?" she asked. She looked over at Sano not recognizing him right away. A vein on her forehead popped out. "Kenshin!!!!!! She yelled. "I told you not to bring anymore of your worthless good for nothing friends here. There a bad influence on Kenji!" Sano stared at Kaoru for a moment and then keeled over in laughter. Kaoru calmly walked away and a few moments later was standing in the dojo entrance dressed for practice and holding a bokken. "Y-y-y-you good for nothing piece of street trash! Get out!" Kaoru let out a terrifying kiai and rushed at Sano. Sano sidestepped her first attack and she slid out of the dojo fence and slammed into the opposite wall. A huge sweatdrop ran down Kenshins face as a vein popped out of Kaoru forehead again. "KENSHIN!" she screamed. "Ummmm Kaoru take a good look at who you just attacked" Kenshin said. Kaoru looked hard at Sano's unshaven face. It came to her fast. "Sano!" she smiled for a second and then screamed" Even worse get out! OUT! O-U-T! OUT!". Kenshin sweatdropped as she attempted to push him out of the dojo gate. Later that evening. Kenshin had finally gotten Kaoru to calm down and let Sano stay for a while.
