***Chapter 2-Surprise Visit/the many faces of Mayaki
Yahiko walked on his way through town. He had asked tae where kaoru's favorite kimono shop was.
*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*
"Tae, do u know kaoru's favorite kimono shop?"Yahiko asked. "well yes, it's Kaishi-san's, right down the street infact"Tae
answered. "but why do u want to know?". "oh, no reason really.."Yahiko lied. "oh, well ok then. see u little Yahiko". For
once, Yahiko didn't yell about being called little. "bye!" he called as he walked out the door.
*~*~*~END FLASHBACK~*~*~*
Just as he got to the shop, out walked Kaoru and Mayaki. "Yahiko, what r u doing here?"Kaoru asked. "oh nothing really"was
Yahiko's reply. The three walked back to the dojo, Mayaki and Kaoru chatting a bit, Yahiko silently. Until they got to the
gates and heard some voices. They walked in, Mayakai hiding slightly behind Yahiko. "Misao-chan! What a surprise! Are u two
staying for a while this time?"Kaoru started chatting with her younger friend. "M-misao-chan?"Mayaki asked quietly, stepping
out from behind from Yahiko. Misao blinked, staring at the girl infront of her. "Mayaki-chan?"she asked.
Both girls squealed and huged eachother. "Mayaki-chan it's been forEVER! O-genki desu ka? i see u finally found a place to
stay". "Genki desu, Misao-chan. and yourself?"Mayaki asked. "Oh, i've been great! Aoshi-sama-". "Aoshi-sama?!"squealed
Mayaki. "Aoshi-sama's here too?!". "Hai, he's right over there"said Misao, pointing to her beloved. "Aoshi-sama?"Mayaki
questined the man sipping tea. "What?"he said. "aoshi-sama!"Mayaki cried happily, hugging the man and making him drop his
tea. "please let go"he said. Mayaki let go and turned to Misao. "Same old Aoshi-sama!"she grinned. "Yup"agreed Misao"Hasn't
changed a bit since u left!". "Erm, Misao-chan? Mayaki-chan?"Kaoru asked. "Hai?"they both said. "How exactly do u two know
eachother?"Kaoru questined.
"Oh! Well Mayaki-chan had stayed with us for a while after everything..."Misao tried to explain without hurting her
chinkubanotomo(childhood friend). "Hai. i stayed with the Oniwabanashu for a few years. Misao-chan and i became quick
friends"Mayaki informed the group. "Oh. well that's very nice, that it is. but it is dinner time now, so i must go make
dinner for u all, that i must"said the red-haired man to the group. "Ok Kenshin" was the reply he got.
***8 pm***
"BATOSAI?!"a scream peirced the night air.
"Shh! Mayaki! He's not the Batosai any more. Does he seem chimonamidamonai-like to u?"(chimonamidamonai-cold blooded, heart
of stone, unfeeling)
Mayaki and Yahiko sat on their own futons, which both had made sure were at least a yard apart. "Well, i guess not, but-"
Mayaki tried to reason. "But nothing! Now he's Kenshin Himora, wandering samarai, who protects the innocent. he doesn't
want to kill anyone, and he has a reverse-blade sword too!". "Reverse-blade?"Mayaki asked. "Yeah, the blade is on the
other side so it can't kill, only injur. the only thing u have to worry about is all the people who come here wanting to kill
the batosai". "that's aweful!"Mayaki said, very upset that people would do such a thing.
"He got really scary during his fight with Saito. he was yosoyososhii and Kaoru was crying 'cuz he wouldn't come out of it".
(yosoyososhii-cold, distant). Mayaki gasped, the thought frightening her very much. "Konnichi he's just a normal man like any
one else"(konnichi-today). "oh. well that's good".
Misao came in, and Yahiko left to let the girls catch up on the lost time. "G'night Misao-chan, Mayaki-chan"he said. "Ngiht
Yahiko-san" both girls called after him, then continued chatting away til late at night.
***The next morning***
Everyone was gathered at the table eating. They were sitting in this order: Kaoru, Kenshin, Yahiko, Mayaki, Misao, Aoshi,
Sano. The girls had their legs folded under them, as girls should, while the boys sat cross-legged. "Minna-san, would u all
like to go out to the Akobeko tonight? To celebrate our friends' visit, and our new housemate?"kenshin asked politely.
"As long as jou-chan or one of u pays, I'm all for it"(tell me u know who said that, please). "Sounds good to me"Yahiko
agreed. The girls all thought this would be great fun, and agreed as well.
