Kassie: Whoo! Working on a new chapter already! Yes I know that it has been awhile since my last chapter but comparing this to how I usually update, I have to say that this is a good thing.
So without further a due here's the newest chapter!!
He ran and didn't bother stopping. He couldn't believe that he allowed himself to be blinded by his ugly emotions. He couldn't see straight anymore, he couldn't see what was right in front of him. He couldn't see her anymore.
He needed to see her now. He needed to feel her in his arms once more. To smell her, to taste her to kiss her. To goddman it mark her as his! He needed her now. He needed to put his heart at ease.
Thinking of her and embracing her fueled his muscles even more as he ran even faster throughout the Tokyo streets.
Misao slid open the door as she looked at the two men sitting where they last were.
"Hey!" Sanosuke and Aoshi looked at her and both were curious to what she was doing here. Upon seeing the look of confusion and wonder on their faces Misao blinked once and commented, "I was following Aoshi-sama when I felt the 'wind' blow right past me."
Sanosuke chuckled a bit and then nodded, "He must have been in a real hurry then."
"So he has been here all of this time then?" Misao asked as she sat down and glanced around the area. To be honest she was expecting something to pop out and bite her in the ass or leg. Sano's whole apartment looked freakin alive.
"Yup came here at night and stayed with me since. Been a real pain too. I haven't been able to bring anyone over because of him."
"Who would you bring over that you don't already hang out with at the dojo?" Misao asked as she flicked a few things away from her exposed legs. Sanosuke glared at her slightly and said,
"Hey don't think that Kenshin, Yahiko, and the Missy are my only friends. I have others."
"Sure you do." Misao replied as she took out the folder she bought with her. Aoshi saw this and asked,
"You found it?" Misao nodded as she held it closer to her and away from Aoshi in case he would try to snatch it.
"Yes. I thought it would be best if we took a look over what Aoi is planning." Sanosuke then reached over and snatched it from Misao and flipped it open. "Hey!" Misao shouted at him and attempted to get it back but he held it away from her and began to scan the contents.
"Hmm…so this is his background?" Aoshi nodded as he took a sip of what he was drinking.
"Yes what I could uncover. There should be something about the supposed arranged marriage to the Kamiyas." Misao looked at him and asked,
"You didn't look it over?" Aoshi shook his head,
"I didn't feel the need to. It is none of my business if the woman marries Behito-san or not. It's more up to Himura if he chooses to stop the wedding." Misao sighed a bit at Aoshi's lack of caring. However he was right it wasn't his fault of Kaoru's family arranged something for their daughter. It was purely up to Kaoru and Kenshin themselves to stop all of this.
"There won't be a wedding." Sanosuke suddenly spoke up. Misao looked over at him and said,
"What do you mean?" A look of anger had flickered in his eyes as he said,
"What I'm saying is whatever was planned was canceled over a decade ago! Aoi is lying about being Kaoru's fiancée look at this!" He tossed the sheet of paper onto the desk and slid it over to Misao where she could read it. Her eyes slightly widen as she said,
"Well look at that…old Aoi boy's family is totally broke." She then waved the paper slightly. Aoshi reached for it and read it over and confirmed it.
"All of their savings are gone in an attempt to expand their small company further out than Japan."
"So basically he's trying to marry the Missy for the dojo?" Misao nodded a bit,
"Yeah if you think about it, the dojo is pretty expensive. It's been around for a long time. That would be major property money. Since many dojos have now been cut down to form small living areas, rather than remaining to train potentials." Sano growled a bit and said,
"What a bastard family. Using Kaoru for money!" Misao stared at him and said,
"Hey uh…Freeloader…you don't have any room to talk!" Sano twitched a bit and said,
"EXACTLY! I'm the only freeloader allowed in her life!" Misao just sweat dropped and sighed a bit. Aoshi then said,
"Never mind about that, you can debate on who the biggest freeloader is later. I think at the time it's best if we report this information to Himura and Kamiya." Misao grinned a bit as she nodded excitedly.
"Right! Then I get to torture Aoi!" Aoshi sighed.
"Misao you're not going to torture him…" Misao pouted and crossed her arms crossed her chest like a stubborn child and glanced to the side. Sano chuckled a bit and cracked his knuckles.
"He's right Weasel-Girl the only one whose going to be torturing anybody is me!" Aoshi glared at him slightly.
"Neither are you. There will be no violence in this." Now it was Sanosuke turn to pout slightly as he glanced to the side. Misao then looked at Aoshi and whined,
"…Not even a little bit of torture?" Aoshi sighed and rubbed his tempers, he was preparing for the upcoming Migraines.
Kaoru sighed a bit as she was just wondering around on her porch. She was really worried about Kenshin. She hadn't heard from him at all for this whole week. She wondered if he thought that what they did was some kind of mistake. She had hoped that after that things would be different. Kenshin would be here and he would stick up for her instead of making her feel abandoned. 'Mou Kenshin…you could at least let me know where you are so I won't be so damn worried about you! Kenshin no baka!!!' Her mind shouted as she crossed her arms and grumbled a bit more.
That's when she was suddenly found herself in the midst of a tight embrace. Her body was being pressed to a small hard chest almost crushing her bones. Warm breath tickled her skin as she felt someone's face being buried in her raven colored hair.
Her eyes widen and almost filled with tears as she soon recognized who this was.
"Kaoru…" Kenshin breathed out as he held her even closer than before. Kaoru was in shock she didn't see him coming; she didn't even know he was coming. However being in his arms was something she had been waiting for. A smile graced her soft features as she wrapped her arms around him and returned his embrace as she leaned her face into his neck and inhaled his scent deeply.
"Kenshin…welcome home."
Kassie: Okay I know it's short, once more, but I think this is the perfect spot to stop it for now. Please leave review, the more I get the more I get encouraged to continue!!
