Part 5 - At the End of the Day
Note - Admittedly, there is not one specific goal for this fiction. If the reader can handle that, then it is worth continuing.
Also Note - This one is especially short because I have 100 hours to do 1000 hours of work, and that isn't too much of an exaggeration.

Kenshin had practically forgotten about Hiko's presence in front of the dojo, not that his master had been trying to stand out. At the sound of his master's words, he spun around.
"It was your error to dismiss yourself so quickly." At that, Kenshin remembered his trip to Hiko's home.
"But you insulted me and told me to leave."
"Even after all this you still have a lot of nerve. Anyway, I would like to monitor the situation regarding the remaining people who have seen the final attack. But don't go telling everyone that."
"Yes."
...
By the end of the day Megumi had finished up the business within the dojo and had moved back into her newly refurbished clinic. Thankfully, Kaoru is staying away from Tokyo (and therefore out of my fic [sorry Kaoru fans].) Except for Hiko's unexpected presence, everything had gotten back to normal (and Saitoh had filed the stupid reports.) That evening Kenshin was preparing dinner for four. Yahiko returned from helping out at the restaurant. Although Yahiko was thrilled that Hiko was staying there, Sanosuke questioned his attendance, but was a little too dumb to realize that Hiko was lying about being a visitor.
Saitoh still had business in Tokyo unrelated to those staying at the Kamiya dojo. He was also thinking about the strange events that occurred with Kenshin's master. Kenshin's master, earlier referred to as "Hiko" he believed, had the outward appearance of boredom, of not paying attention. Saitoh was sharp. And he could see that this was not becoming of Hiko, that he was putting on a sort of a show. But there was no obvious reason why Hiko would be secretly eyeing a police officer. Something strange was going on here, and Saitoh would get to the bottom of it.
...
After dinner, Hiko made a point of talking privately with Kenshin. "This Saitoh and you have a strange relationship." Although that certainly applied to both of them, it was Hiko who had said that. "I am satisfied with your friend Sanosuke knowing the secret of the Hiten style, but I am still unsure of Saitoh, and I have no experience with Aoshi."
"Well, Aoshi isn't..." Then suddenly, Hiko cut him off.
"I'm going to play it safe. We have done all we can for today." Not much later, everyone retired for the evening.
