Disclaimer: This is getting old. I still do not own Rurouni Kenshin.
I haven't gotten many review from my last chapter yet but im writing another one anyway. Thanks for the reviews I did get though. I'm going to make two Yahiko and Tsubame fanfic's. But they won't be a continuation of this one. Unless you want me to make one a continuation of this. Anyway, on with the story.

It was an early morning; the sun was shining into the rooms of the Kamiya dojo where it's residents were still sound asleep. Yahiko had been out late last night helping Tae with cleaning up the Akebeko. It had been very messy since a rich child's parents rented out the entire thing so the kid could have a birthday party. Of course, the kid was 2 and he had invited seventeen of his friends to go. So you can only imagine the mess they had made out of the Akebeko and they didn't even bother to help pay for the hole in the wall when one of them through a tantrum. And what luck, it was the biggest kid there, too.
Sano had been out gambling for the night and wondered into the dojo. He had just lost his rights to sleep in his apartment for a week and needed a place to stay. He knew Kaoru would scold him for gambling his house and he had been trying to come up for a good excuse as to why he did it. He couldn't tell her the truth because he knew if she ever found out it was because he had no money she'd break him in half. Kaoru may be a scrawny teenager, but she was a powerful one. Sano crept into the quiet house, careful not to make a sound so he wouldn't wake anyone up, especially Kaoru. Kaoru's bad mood was bad enough but you don't want to add no sleep to it. Not even Battousai would be able to hold her back.
He was about to go to his usually place to stay. Sano often stayed at the dojo when he was to drunk to remember what street his apartment was on. However, he remembered his room was being occupied by Rudiko and he walked past it, in search of a futon and blankets so maybe he could fall asleep in the kitchen. If he fell asleep in there, then he could get a free breakfast without anyone having to go to his room and awaken him.
Just as Sano walked passed his room, he noticed it was empty. He took a few steps back to make sure he had seen right. When he saw that the futon was neatly folded back into a corner along with it's blankets and pillows, Sano knew Rudiko was no longer staying at the dojo.
Sano ran to Kaoru's room and slid open the door. He was about to wake her up, but he valued his life so he didn't. Instead, he slid the door shut again and began to walk slowly to his room. Just as he stepped around the corner leading to Yahiko's room, something covered in blankets jumped out in front of him.
"BOO!" it cried.
"Buenos dias Yahiko-chan," Sano said, pulling the blanket off of Yahiko as he passed by. Yahiko just stood dumbfounded then shook his head.
"Hey! How come you never told me you knew Spanish? And don't call me chan!" he asked hurrying to catch up with Sano.
"I learned it from hearing Megumi. She treats foriegners and must know some of the language so she can help them. And you are small. Hence forth the 'chan'," Sano said, gliding towards Rudiko's door.
"Hey's where's Rudiko? She's not in her room," Yahiko asked curiously, looking at Sano with wide eyes.
"Don't know, don't care. But Jou-chan might so I better find something that might explain why she is missing. You coming Yahiko-chan?" he asked, putting the emphasize on appearance while strutting into his once occupied room.
Yahiko pouted a little at the chan but helped Sano look for traces of where little miss Steal Kenshin had gone. They looked all over the place for some sign as to where she was. The looked under futon and blankets, in the closest and even under the loose floor boards.
"Nargh! This is hopeless! We're never gonna find anything that says why she's gone!" Yahiko cried, throwing his hands in the air in fusteration. Just as Sano was about to agree, he laid down on the floor and heard a squeak. He looked up in surprise as he just discovered a new loose board. Quickly, Sano sat up and began to remove the stubborn piece of wood. With a grunt and a little pull, he managed to break the dead tree from it's bindings.
Yahiko and Sano waved a hand in front of their faces, trying to get the dust to clear. When the debre had subsided, Sano and Yahiko peeked into the hole to see a piece of paper lying on the dirty ground. On the front of the paper read 'Rudiko'. Sano and Yahiko at each other then pounced on the note, trying to read it first. Yahiko ended up winning and quickly opened the letter:
Miss Kaoru,
I'm am sorry for the trouble that I have caused. If you must know why I have been torturing you time and time again, I cannot tell you. My past is to haunting and just the thought of Shawn makes me very depressed. I have left to go live with some relatives of mine and I hope that you are not disappointed in me for leaving and not telling you ahead of time. Please forgive me for not giving you a reason as to why I have decided to leave. Good luck with your new married life and I know you will make a wonderful, caring mother.
Sincerely,
Rudiko Takachi
Yahiko just stared at the letter for a long time before Sano asked what was on it.
Yahiko looked back up at him with wide eyes and his response was a very weird one. "The letter says that her past is to haunting and she can't tell us. But she did mention something about a guy named Shawn and how his memories had left her depressed."
Sano snatched up the letter from Yahiko and began to read it. "Who the hell is Shawn?" he asked after scanning over the letter three more times. Yahiko simply shrugged his shoulders and looked out the door.
"So . . . what do we do?" Sano asked. Then he began to think to himself. *I'm asking a 12 year old what to do with a letter . . . what's wrong with this picture? *
"We give the letter to Kaoru. This isn't even ours to began with. We probably shouldn't have even read it but we still have to give it to her." Sano looked at the child with envy. Yahiko was pretty smart for a kid his age and already he was beginning to sound like an adult. While Sano sat there wondering how come Yahiko was so smart, they wanted for the daylight to awaken Kaoru so they could give her the letter.

Yes, yes . . . I realize the story ended quickly but I wanted to finish this chapter before the weekend. I have tryouts for the marching band Friday, Honors Band tryouts Saturday, and jazz ensemble Sunday. So, I wanted to type yall a chapter so you wouldn't have to wait.
