Soujirou's Dream - chapter 7
It was already morning the next day by the time the train pulled into the Tokyo train station. Misao was still leaning on Soujirou's shoulder, sleeping, and Soujirou was staring out the window wearily.
Misao stirred when she felt the engine stop. "Are we in Tokyo yet... ?" Misao muttered.
"Yeah..." Soujirou replied.
"Oh ok." Misao yawned and rubbed her eyes. Then she looked at Soujirou. "What's wrong ?"
"Iya, nothing. Just thinking again." Soujirou replied absent-mindedly. "Maa, we better get off."
"Ok."
"Himura !"
"Oro ?"
"Misao-chan !" Kaoru called.
"Kaoru-san ! I haven't seen you in such a long time !" Misao ran to hug her older friend.
"Hello Himura-san." Soujirou greeted.
"Oh. Soujirou right ?" Kenshin asked. Soujirou nodded. "I haven't seen you since we last fought. How are things going ? How come you're with Misao-dono ?" he asked suspiciously.
"Oh I just met her on the way to Kyoto and she's been following me ever since."
"So where's Yahiko-chan ?" Misao called.
"I'm right here thanks, and I'M NOT A CHAN !!!!!!!!!!!" Yahiko yelled.
"Hah. I expected you to be with Tsubame but well it turns out you haven't got over it. Right ?" Misao teased.
"Che." Yahiko muttered and turned red.
Misao laughed. "I knew you'd never be able to ask her ! Hahahaha ! Where's tori-atama ?" she asked as she looked around.
"Oh he just happened to run away from the police back there." Kaoru commented.
"Hmph. That chicken-headed coward." Misao smirked.
Somewhere in Mongolia, a chicken-head sneezed.
"By the way Misao-chan, how come Soujirou's tagging along with you ?" Kaoru whispered.
"Huh... ano..." Misao stammered and blushed for a bit.
Kaoru giggled. "So you've given up on Aoshi-sama ?" she imitated how Misao always called Aoshi.
Misao laughed. "I guess you could say that."
"So has he kissed you yet ?" Kaoru whispered.
"Kaoru-san !" Misao exclaimed and turned red again. "Enough about me. So you and Himura..."
Kaoru nodded. "Kenji !" she called.
"Eh ? Your son ?!" Misao exclaimed in shock. "He looks exactly like Himura !"
Kaoru laughed. "I know. Tons of people say that, who knows, maybe next time he'll be a great swordsman like Kenshin."
Misao shrugged. "I don't know. He cetainly looks like he likes kendo alot."
Kaoru grinned in reply.
Back in Kyoto, Aoshi packed up his things and prepared to head for Tokyo. He had just received a report from Saitou stating that his spies in Tokyo were up to trouble. He hadn't heard from them in a while and wondered whether they still were working for Oniwabanshuu.
Author's Ramblings : Have I got a mental block or something ? I've got a feeling I'm onto something here... hmm... *thinks* Well anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter.... I'll have the next one coming right up ok ? *rushes*
SNEAK PREVIEW OF CHAPTER 8
Back at the river, Soujirou stirred awake. The sun was quite high in the sky, indicating that it was late morning. He shook Misao awake.
"Misao. Misao ! Wake up."
".... what time is it ?"
"Its probably late morning, Himura-san and the others back at the dojo are probably worried about us."
"Oh then we'd better go back I guess."
