Chapter 2
"Hmph...Really?" Mugen scoffed
"I saw you passed out on the road, it seemed to me that you hadn't eaten in several days, so I brought you back here and had you fixed up, that I did." said Kenshin in a calming tone
"How nice of you..I suppose you wouldn't mind then telling me where the fuck I am, now would you?" said Mugen in his usual tone
"That I don't. You're.." said Kenshin as he interrupted by another voice
"..here in Tokyo at the Kamiya Dojo.." interrupted a feminine voice coming from the shadows of the doorway
"My name is Kaoru, I'm the master of this dojo. And you are?" said Kaoru
"Wow, now she's a looker! Time show off the old Mugen charm.." Mugen thought as he smirked evilly
"Hey Doll, name's Mugen. Hows about we find us a room so that we can get to know each other better?" as he walked over to hold Kaoru's hand
Not one to be treated as an object, Kaoru decked Mugen right on the nose...
BAMMM!!
..the shock itself left him laying that is until..
"Hey bitch! Whaddya do that for?" yelled Mugen
"If you can't treat a woman right, then that's exactly what you deserve!" Kaoru yelled back at Mugen
"I'm getting out of here, that I am.." Kenshin thought to himself as he tried to inch out of the room
"Not so fast Kenshin!" yelled Kaoru as she grabbed him by his robe "You are coming with me!" she continued as she grabbed and drug the samurai by his ear to the other room
"Wow...she acts alot like Fuu ..I wonder she gonna do to that poor guy.." smirked Mugen as he covered his nose
In the other room, Kaoru was just about to interregate the former manslayer...
"So tell me.." said Kaoru as she slowly balled her hand into a fist
"Oh this is not gonna end well.." thought Kenshin as gave a nerous chuckle
"What were you thinking?" asked Kaoru with flames burning in her eyes
"Oro?" said Kenshin
"Don't oro me mister! You were the one who brought this dead-beat to our Dojo, don't you ever think at all? He could be a pervert, or a fugitive, or something even worse! I can't believe you would something so stupid!" yelled Kaoru as she shook Kenshin violently by his robe
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's just that he was gonna die if I didn't help.." said Kenshin as he pleaded with Kaoru to stop
"So that's not my problem! Let someone else take care of him!" said Kaoru coldly
"There was no one else! Don't you see that everyone we've ever met let into the Dojo there was always a good reason for it?" said Kenshin
"What do you mean?" said Kaoru as she loosened her grip on his robe
"Just think of Sano, and how he's was before..even you could've said that he was just like this guy when he first met us, that he was. But now look at him..look at how much he's helped you and the Dojo. I'm sure that if you give him a chance things will turn out the same, that I am." said Kenshin with a smile
"Ok..fine. I'll give him a chance, but remember this guy's you're responsibility..Got it?" said Kaoru as she finally gave in to Kenshin, still unsure of her decision
"Mugen!" yelled Kaoru from behind the doorway "We have something to a.." she said as walked in the room trailing off
"He's not here, that he's not." said Kenshin
"Where could he have gone?" asked Kaoru
"Maybe he left the dojo already.." said Kenshin
Just then a shrill scream filled the air..
"That sounded like Megumi!" said Kaoru
"Let's go!" said Kenshin as they took off following the screams
They followed the trail of screams to the outer court of the Dojo until they stopped altogether by the bathhouse...
Where could it be coming from?
Again the screams resumed, revealing..
"It's coming from the bathhouse! That it is."
"That pervert!"
Kaoru charged the bathhouse determined to hurt somebody..
"Megumi are you okay?" asked Kenshin
"I'm just fine Sir Ken, now that you're here.." said Megumi seductively
"You pig! What in the world do you think you're doing here while was Megumi bathing?"
"It's not what it looks like I swear..I was just looking for the bathroom.." said Mugen nervously
"Did you actually think that excuse was going to work? (sigh) And to think I was going to offer you a chance to stay with us.."
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa..You were gonna do what?"
"Yes that's right, I was going to let you stay here, that is until you were able to support yourself.." said Kaoru as she was interrupted
"Look lady, you better not be joking with me.."
"Well doesn't matter now anyhow..I want you out of my dojo! Now!" said Kaoru as she pointed to the door
"But seriously it was not my fault!" Mugen pleaded as he looked for compassion in Kaoru's eyes
"Kaoru, remember you put me in charge of him, right?" Kenshin whispered in the young dojo master's ear
"So..let me handle this ok?" Kenshin asked in a reassuring tone
"Fine then! Do what you want!" she said as she stormed off
As Kaoru stormed off, her figure faded completely into the shadows of the dojo...
"Look we have to talk.." said Kenshin as walked off into the street
"You are impossible, Himura.." she said to herself she practiced her kendo
