Tomodachi (friend)
The sun had set, Kaoru was sitting impatiently at her seat. Everyonce in awhile, she would
shift position.
"You know, you really should take lessons from your husband on patience. Ohohoho..." The
oh so familiar doctor stood in the door way.
"Nani!" Kaoru almost jumped on the fox doctor, if not for Kenshin who had intervened.
"Megumi-dono. Come in a have a seat. Sano and Yahiko are both not here yet." Kenshin poured
Megumi some tea, and sat back down in his seat.
"Ah. Even after so long, that Tori Atama 'chicken head' still has not changed, he's still
late as usual. He probably got lost on his way here." Megumi laughed.
~ At Sanosuke's house ~
"Maa, Tsunan, I can't believe you didn't keep you promise." Sanosuke said, sniffing in
between his words.
"I did. More or less. I having been coming here cleaning up a few times the first and
second year you were away. If I had known you who leave this place and come back after
seven years, I would not have made that promise in the first place." Tsunan said, standing
in the doorway.
"Hai hai. It my fault then. But Kaoru will kill me if I am late." Suddenly, Sanosuke turned
to look at his friend.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Tsuana said, patting his cheek.
"Nope, but you are going to do me a favor." Sanosuke walked up to Tsunan grinning.
"I am?" The former Sekihou Tai member backed away, hoping he would be able to get away, but
only to find himself cornered by a wall.
"Jou-chan, Sorry I'm late, I made it here as fast as I could." Sanosuke walked towards
them and sat down beside Megumi.
"Do you have any idea what time it is? The food is cold now." Kaoru rolled up her sleeve,
intending of venting her anger.
"It's okay, I'll go and heat them up now." Kenshin picked up the dishes and headed for the
kitchen.
"Hey, Yahiko isn't here yet." Sanosuke said as he looked around the room.
"Yes, and unlike you, he actually has a job and is working right now. He said that he'll
come a little later." Megumi said, sipping her tea.
"I see. But just so you know, I had some important things to take care off." Sanosuke
grinned.
"And what might that be?" Kaoru said, clenching her fists, so as to not hurt anyone.
"A had to persuade a friend of mine in keeping a promise he made a very long time ago."
~*~
"Maa, Sanosuke. I'll get you for this. You owe me." Tsunan sneezed between every word. He
was holding his broom his one hand and sweeping away the dust. The other hand was to cover
his nose and mouth to prevent any more dust from entering.
~*~
Kenshin was walking down the hall, when he felt something tug at his hakama. He looked
down, expecting to find a stray cat there, but to his surprise, he found Kenji.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Kenshin placed the food he had in his hands on the floor.
He picked up the boy and held him in his arms.
"Okachan...kowai (1)" Kenji tucked his head in his father's neck.
"Maa maa. Daijoubu." Kenshin patted his son's back. Slowly, he bent down, picking up as
much as he could with his one free hand, and walked back to the room.
Yahiko had arrived, and Kaoru was going on about how men are always late or something like
that. Sanosuke and Megumi were bickering among themselves as usual.
"Kaoru, can you give me a hand?" Kenshin stood at the door, awkwardly holding his son in
one hand and a stack of trays in the other.
"Aa. Gomen ne. I didn't know he had gotten away." Kaoru went up to Kenshin to help him,
but to his dismay, Kaoru reached for Kenji instead of the trays.
As soon as Kenji was out of his care, Kenshin placed the trays on the floor, leaving his
friends to take their own, while he went back to the corridor to get the rest of their
dinner.
As soon as Kenshin had gotten back, he stood at the door, looking at his friends, eating
'happily', like they had used to, before Sanosuke had left, and Yahiko and gotten a job.
He admits that he missed times like these.
"Oi, Kenshin, don't just stand there, sit down and eat before the food gets cold again."
Sanosuke mumbled as he chews on his fishbone.
"Aa." Kenshin took his place by Kaoru's side once again.
"ITADAKIMASU! (2)" Yahiko shouted over the whole din everyone was making.
"Itadakimasu!" Both Sanosuke and Kaoru joined in.'
Kenshin just smiled as the memories came back to him.
Both Sanosuke and Yahiko begin stuffing their faces with the food.
"You know, you shouldn't eat like that. You could chock and then die from...ohoho...it
alright then, go and eat all you want...ohohoho!" Megumi
"Kitsune, for a minute there, I thought you cared." Sanosuke turned to look at the doctor.
"ahehehe..."Yahiko takes this chance to snatch the former Zanza's fish.
Yahiko snickers as he swallows the fish whole and waits for Sanosuke's reaction.
"Ah...nani!" Sanosuke turned back to find his food missing. He turns to Yahiko to confirm
his suspicion.
"Teme..." Sanosuke jumps on Yahiko, expecting to somehow get his fish back.
Meanwhile, Kaoru is sitting there, her veins in her forehead throbbing.
"Hn!!!"....* whack * * whack *
Both Yahiko and Sanosuke land on the floor, bumps smoking on their heads.
"Good move Tanuki, now who is going to clean this mess up?" Megumi looked at the pile,
consisting of both the chicken head and monkey boy. She poked Sanosuke in the leg, but no
response came.
"Hm!" Kaoru ignored her and carried on eating.
Kenshin was smiling, even though his friends just got beaten up by his wife, he still was
happy that they could get together again. Even though it was not for the good of things.
This would probably be the last dinner they will have together before Kenshin and Sanosuke
leaves to find out and fight the person who has committed those crimes.
Kenji had fallen asleep after Kenshin had fed him. It was not usually, who would not be
tired after running around and messing up things for the whole day.
"Ne, Kenshin, Daijoubu?" Kaoru waved a hand in front of Kenshin's face. He had not eaten
yet, and Kaoru, noticing him, was worried.
"Aa. I was just feeding Kenji. It seems that he had quite a day today. He's fast asleep."
Kenshin pushed a few locks of hair away from the boy's face.
"You had better eat before Sanosuke and Yahiko wakes up. I'll look after Kenji in the
meantime ne?" Kaoru reached out to pick up the boy.
"Aa."
The next morning, was the same as always, Kenshin got up early and made some onigiri for
breakfast. As soon as he was done, he went out to get some tofu. It seems that Kaoru had
used up all for yesterday night's dinner. He left a note by the door and hopes that Kaoru
sees it when she awakes.
It was nice to go out early in the morning, the cool morning breeze, and the soft chirping
of the birds could be heard. It also gave Kenshin some time to think about the clues his
enermy left behind.
'All four murders, and all that was found on the bodies were the words 'tenchu' on them.
Could it be? It can't be, can it? The people who were killed were used to be part of the
Isshin Shishi, who would want to do such a thing?' Kenshin had been thinking about so much,
he had past the tofu vendor.
When he had realized his mistake, he quickly turned back and went to buy some from the man.
On his way home, Kenshin went through the information that Saitoh had given him. So far, he
only knew of one person who would do this. An ex hitokiri who used to work for the Isshin
shishi besides him or Shishio.
'But who could it be?' These words toyed in his mind until he reached the dojo again.
"Kenshin, I'll be going now. Ja ne" Yahiko speeded past him with an Onigiri in his mouth.
Before Kenshin could answer, Yahiko was already out of sight.
"Yare yare." Kenshin turned towards the kitchen, with the tofu in hand.
"Kenji! Get back here this instant." Kaoru's voice could be heard.
"Oh oh..." Kenshin got ready to be jumped on. He closed his eyes, when he felt a wet figure
jump on him.
"Ororoooo?!?!" Keshin fell to the floor, as the tofu he had in his hands flew up into the
air.
Kenshin immediately got up, and caught the tofu again before slipping on the water which
his son had dripped when he had ran out of the bathroom.
"Oroorororooo...." Kenshin laid on the floor, swirlly eyed for a minute.
Kenji laughed as he crawled towards his father. As soon as he got to Kenshin's side, he
poked the man a few times, before Kaoru came and picked him up again.
"Gomen ne Kenshin, but do you mind cleaning this up? And, I think we need more rice and
some other things. I'll leave the list in the kitchen." Kaoru asked.
"Aa...." Kenshin slowly got up, and leaned against the wall. 'Some things will never change.'
