Chapters 5:Some ways of life are better then others

In Enishi's POV

I live life, the way I do. Careful, yet carefree, just a mix that happens for a reason because it is just meant to be. I never thought of it any way else, and it certainly fits me, I think.

Ugh! The dreaded word, think. Thinking has never been something I like, just because I like doing manual labor and not thinking labor, my reason of becoming a construction worker. Even if you do have to think about being cautious and such, you don't have to think about your own personal thoughts or anything like that. The only thing I truly like thinking about is her, Molly, my fiancée. I never really thought I would have a wife, fiancée let alone a girl friend or a crush in this life or the last... it just happened that way, somehow.

I stirred my coffee, mixing it with the cream that the waitress had just brought from his request a few minuets before. Sipping the hot drink, I felt it slide down my throat, warming my insides from the cold weather of out side, were rain was currently pouring down like cats and dogs.

I heard the bell at the door of the restaurant ring as someone came in, in for it was Kaoru's ki I felt. It was coming towards me, and soon enough, there she was, sliding in to the other side of the booth that I was at. She didn't pay attention to me, just looked out the window at the rain.

"You called me," she said, in a dull tone to be exact. "And so I came."

"Hai, and so you did."

"What do you want? You know I'm on vacation."

"That I do know, but why, is all explained in a single check." I reached into my coat and pulled out a whit envelope. Putting it on the table I went back to my coffee.

I heard that bell again, meaning more people most likely, and I was right. For who other to walk in, but my dear sister and her husband. The two were still in college, trying to get the highest of an education in science-- biology to be exact-- they could get. I treasure them, for being family by blood or marriage, but they both don't understand what it is between me and the mob, which is what I do. Like Sano and Kaoru, I work for the Tenshi Hunters, just full time, unlike Kaoru. Sano dose work full time, it just happens to be of the fact it doesn't seem like he does work full time.

"A check? The hunters don't pay on time." If she sensed them, she didn't care, and neither did me, for a moment at least.

"I know, its just a little bribe for you to not jump the country when we do send you another job... one that wont include Tesng as your partner."

"Thank you god," she hissed, picking up the envelope ands using her fingernail to open it. My sister and her dear had sat in the booth some way ahead of us, obviously trying to give us some privacy before she decided to bug us.

"That is what I thought." it was true, the other night was the last mission she would do until the end of her vacation. Tesng was her partner, and had almost gotten the two killed when he went scared and vanished into thin air. He was a big scary cat. My bet was that Tesng would be coming back and begging for forgiveness soon enough, sides the man was way better at getting information then being sent in the heat of battle.

"20,000...? This can't be right..." Kaoru's eyes survived the check over and over again. It was for twenty thousand American dollars, which was a lot here in Japan. She didn't believe it and I just had to laugh.

"It is, no doubt about it, Ryu-kun." I added the name that she was using at the time, just for effect.

"Why would they pay me this much...?"

"You seem to be our best spy, not that I will ever truly amit that to you."

"I feel so loved," she said sarcastically, the words dripping with fake love that made me smile.

"And to tell truth, you seem to be, with that reborn Kenshin of yours."

"You too, with Molly all over you." She was getting me, just like I had gotten her. Finishing off my drink, I put some money on the table and left, mumbling to the girl good bye. Waving slightly to my sister in my way by her, I left the place.

I found myself soon back home, to my small house. It was two story three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A garage, garden, and a homey feeling to it. I chose it for that, the way it made me feel at home. I saw a light on; meaning Molly was up and about. I had thought she would still be a sleep, sense it was only 11 o'clock in the morning and we had gone to bed late at night, or very early morning as you can put it as well.

Walking in, I found my self greeted by the blond, blue eyed American woman I had fallen in love with so many years, and life times before.

"Hello anata, didn't expect you home so soon," she said giving me a kiss and hug after I took off my coat and shoes and turned towards her.

"Didn't take as long as I thought," I replied, returning the hug and kiss. She knew what I do, and just told me to be careful. "And I was able to return home."

"Was Ryu-kun in good health when you saw her?" She liked using everyone's fake names, in public or private, unless it wasn't necessary.

"Yes, not considering the fact that she has found her Kenshin and is no longer the small virgin we all know and love, but instead the small virgin who is probably going to need some major pain kill--"

"Dear, anata, you should try feeling some sympathy for the girl." she turned around and I sighed, wrapping my arms around her, pulling her back to me as I rested my head atop her soft hair.

"Yes ma'am."

"No go to bed, anata, you seem to need the rest. Even if you just had caffeine. Rest is what you seem to need now, and only that." I groaned as she patted my check and got out of my hold, heading towards the kitchen. Not wanting to annoy her, I did as she said, and headed towards our bedroom.

Why do thoughts come only when you are trying to sleep? It seems to be that for me, and disturbing thoughts is what usually comes to me, no matter how hard I try to force them back. I can remember my childhood, with parents that didn't seem to care for me, but for my smart, and pretty sister that was in the minds and hearts of everyone. All was leaving me out in the cold. By the age of 12, I was smoking and drinking to my hearts desire. And pretty soon enough, I was in the Tenshi Hunters, the only mob/vampire hunter group in one, a gang so to speak that deals with practically everything and anything.

No one knew, it was all perfect, and then the little miss goody two shoes had to stumble upon my life, running it... for the part of a year or so, until I went back into it after running away from home and reuniting with them. They were happy to have me back, for I knew how to get the things that needed to be done, done. Then I found out that my sister was inviting me to her wedding, or would if she knew where I was. I went, hiding in the back of the church, watching her take her wedding vows and coming back with the man she loved. I had meet Molly at the reception; she was a waitress, working for the catering company that was in charge of the food being served. She was the one who told me to go talk to my sister, and tell her that I was fine, even if I didn't look like what she would last remember, my hair having been dyed white and my eyes changed green. I had walked towards her, and had spoken, at the right moment, for she was talking to her new husband about her younger brother who she was hoping to see, and hoping that he was all right. I had spoken up then, gaining a surprising hug and then scheduling a day on which we could catch up. I remember my sister's eyes brimming with happy tears. I will never forget that moment.

My way of life created that moment, and that is something I am proud of.

Author's Notes: A chapter in Enishi's point of view? Strange I know, but it seems to fit because I do one of these on most of the characters, though not all. Also, sorry if any of the characters are out of character, it's the furture after all, so somethings have to have changed between then and the time this story begins. From 1800 something to 2134? Yeah, a long time.

Thank you to all my reviewers, and to Omochi, who seems to be coming back for more of my story… I feel like its way better then what I originally thought it was (which wasn't all that high in good standards, I don't like the ending…).

And, I am thinking about putting both endings up, the old one and the new one that I'm going to write once I write the other chapters up on the computer (the others… almost all typed on the school computers so I don't know if it was deleted or saved over the summer but I printed copies of them, thank god…). So, if people are want to read both, I'm willing to do so.
