~A Chance For You~

Chapter 1

"Kenshin!" called Kaoru. "Could you go catch some fish for for dinner?" She handed the fishing rod to Kenshin. He smiled and took the rod from her.

"Hai de gozaru, Kaoru-dono." Suzume and Akame grabbed ahold of Kenshin's purple gi and begged to go with him. Kaoru agreed and watched them out the dojo.

"That's the way it should be..." She mumbled to herself. "It's feels so nice..."

Kenshin walked down the street with Suzume and Akame holding his hands. Shishio...Soujiro...It's all over, finished and done with. I'm back with Kaoru-dono and the others now. He thought back to the night when he came back to the dojo looking half-dead on Sano's back. Her eyes were so sad...it breaks my heart to see her like that.

The streets got more deserted as they got closer to the river. There were no one in sight now. Kenshin, Akame, and Suzume slowly made their way across the bridge. "I mustn't let the same thing happen to Kaoru..." Kenshin paused, and glanced up at the sky, "...dono."

Suddenly Kenshin sensed someone walking up behind him with a battle aura that felt like hatred. He instinctively grabbed his sakaba and got protectively in front of the girls.

That person was Sano.

Sano stood in front of Kenshin and the kids and smirked. "Che, it's only me, baka! Don't be so tense man, ya gatta relax more!"

Sanoske? Demo naze...? Why have I sensed hatred? Kenshin wondered to himself. "Gome nasai de gozaru." Kenshin apologized in his usual smile and cautiously retrieved his sakaba. "What brings you here, Sanoske? Did Kaoru-dono sent you on a shopping spree again?"

"Che, you betcha. Jou-chan wants me to bring back Akame-chan and Suzume-chan too."

"Honto ni deska?" Kaoru-dono wants them back at the dojo? But why hasn't she told me? And the aura I had felt from Sanoske... Kenshin looked at Sano. He seemed like his same old self. I'm probably just too tense, like he said. After all, it is Sanoske. He smiled and gave Sano Akeme's and Suzume's hands. "Akame-chan and Suzume-chan, why don't you go back to the dojo with Sanoske? I think Kaoru-dono wants you back."

The girls walked obediently to Sano. "Be back soon, Ken-nee-san!!" They shouted as they waved.

"Hai de gozaru, I promise!" Kenshin yelled back as he watched Sano and them strolled away in the distance. Wonder why Kaoru-dono wants them for... Picking up his fishing rod, he resumed his pace to the river and began fishing.

Yume no Miko's chants~ Finally, after all the hard work yeah, right I at last squeezed out some writing materials. Warning though, that I write really, really slow... so you'll have to expect this to drag on for quite a while. It'll get better, I hope prays, mumbles nonsense to the sky. So, anyone find any thing suspicious about Sanoske? Heehee, I know I made it really obvious but hey, it's Rurouni Kenshin, so who gives a care? After all, isn't fanfics a place to ramble on about anything you want?

Hai de gozaru~Yes miss/mr./mrs. typical saying for Kenshin

Honto ni deska~Really?/Is that so?

Demo naze~But why?

Gome nazai de gozaru~I'm very sorry very respectful

Che~Shit, damn, darn, whatever swear word you want to think it as typical slang for Sano
