*waves excitedly* Hello everyone! Part two is finally up. I've had this for a few days but after the tragedy that occurred recently I lost my motivation to type this up and post it. NEWS! A-Chan Yuy is now co-writing this fic with me so don't forget to give her the credit she deserves in your reviews! A-Chan has been kind enough to help me work out the pairings for this fic. Okay, now for the disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin; it belongs to its respective companies. I am a high school student; you sue me you'll get squat and a bill for legal fees. Now for the warnings: This will be yaoi/ shonen ai, which means male/male relationships, GAY! I will not tolerate flames from people about Kenshin's sexuality, it's my fic and he'll be what I damn well please. There's a touch of angst, and possibly sap depending on how you look at it. If you're still with me enjoy, and please comment because I need encouragement to write. Do let me know if I go overboard I can get a little lost in my writing at times. Beware the POV changes often and without much warning!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Who
do I love? Part 2~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenshin watched Sanosuke
sleep as he put his hair up in a high ponytail and secured it with the ribbon
Sanosuke had given him the day before. Smiling slightly Kenshin leaned down to
brush a light kiss on Sanosuke's cheek in hopes of waking him up. Kenshin was
surprised that Sanosuke wasn't awake yet; it was almost time to go to back to
the dojo for lunch. Karou was going to be angry that he left yesterday afternoon
and didn't come back last night. Kenshin decided to stop by the market before
they returned to the dojo to buy Karou a peace offering, a new ribbon maybe her
blue one was starting to fade. Sighing at Sanosuke's reluctance to wake up
Kenshin gave Sanosuke a hard shake. Blinking Sanosuke rose from the futon to
give Kenshin a sloppy morning kiss before getting dressed. Now fully awake Sanosuke put his arm around
Kenshin's waist as the left his apartment to go to back to Karou's home.
Where were they? I couldn't help but
worry about Kenshin; he never came home last night. I know he didn't leave all
his possessions are still in his room. On top of that Sanosuke was also
missing, he didn't show up at dinner last night to freeload or this morning for
breakfast. What is they got into a fight and were hurt? No, I'm sure they're
okay no one has come by the dojo looking for either of them recently. Sanosuke
probably took Kenshin gambling or something like that. Oh they are going to get
it when they get back! Honestly making me worry like this! They should tell me
if they're going to go missing for an extended period of time! My hands tighten
around the handle of my shinai as I hear their voices outside of the gate. I
can't deny that I was relieved to see them come through the gate unhurt but the
feeling of relief only lasted a few seconds before I started to throttle them
both. Oh dear I've broken another shinai by smacking those two. Tossing it
aside I began to give them a tongue-lashing.
"BAKAS! Where have you been
I've been so worried!"
"K-K-Karou-dono please calm
down"
"Yeah jou-chan relax we were
only out for a bit of fun last night."
"FUN? I've sat here all
night waiting for you to come home Kenshin! There was no note, or anything
about your whereabouts! For all I knew you two could be lying in a ditch
somewhere bleeding!"
Karou is very angry with us she has
been lecturing us for the past few minutes. I suppose I should have told her
that I was going to be out for the night. Karou has started to yell at Sanosuke
for dragging me around last night, she thinks he took me out gambling. Finding
the ribbon in my sleeve I decided that I better rescue Sanosuke before she
starts to beat up on him again with the remains of her shinai.
"
We are very sorry for worrying you Karou-dono, as an apology we bought you a
present on the our way back"
Kenshin can be so sweet and
thoughtful at times. The ribbon he gave me was very pretty, it's the same blue
as my favorite ribbon but it also as little flowers embroidered on the edges. I
can feel my anger vanish as I look at the gift, I know neither of them has much
money and this ribbon is one of the more expensive ones. Smiling I take my
other ribbon out and use this one to tie my hair back. Those two aren't
completely out of the woods yet, there's a pile of laundry waiting for Kenshin
and a hole in the roof for Sanosuke to patch.
"That's
very sweet of you two to bring me a gift but you sill have chores to be doing,
there's a stack of laundry with your name on it Kenshin, and you Sanosuke get
to repair the roof. Megumi is cooking lunch now and won't be finished for
another half hour, so get busy!"
I can't believe busu is making me
sweep the yard! I'm a Tokyo samurai not some housekeeper! Well I'm not the only
one suffering; Kenshin and Sanosuke also got stuck working. Imagine the
Hitokiri Battousai one of the most feared men in japan doing busu's dirty
laundry. I can't believe Kenshin is such a domestic! Then again when he's not
fighting I have trouble believing he is the Hitokiri Battousai. I'll have to
get busu back for this later. I keep having this feeling like I'm forgetting
something important let's see today's December 4 hmm for some reason there's
something important about this date…I remember! Yutaro's coming back today!
I've got to tell Kenshin and busu! Dropping the broom I run out to where busu
is nagging Kenshin as he does the laundry. I told them that Yutaro was due back
this afternoon. Kenshin just smiled and said that we'd got o meet him at the
port and busu hit me on the head with a broken shinai for telling her sooner.
Che, ugly violent hag. I wonder what's up with Kenshin? He seems preoccupied
but for once it doesn't appear to be about an enemy. His eyes keep getting this
amber undertone but for some reason it doesn't scare me it seems very warm and
loving. Sanosuke been acting strange too, he didn't tease me or get mad when I
walked by him and called him a rooster head. I guess I find out what's up with
those two later, I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment. Yutaro's coming
back to Japan to stay, I wouldn't admit it to anyone but I'm really happy that
he's coming back. But what troubles me is that I found out that I liked him you
know, like-liked him. I could never tell Yutaro that though he'd hate me and
think I was weird. I better get busu if we're going to make it to the port on
time to meet Yutaro and Dr. Hans.
I'm anxious to get off, I'm so glad
that I'm coming back to Japan. Dr. Hans keeps smiling at me like he knows
something I don't. I wish he'd stop it's a little disconcerting. I hope that
Kenshin and the others will be waiting at the port; I sent Yahiko a letter as
soon as I go the estimated date of arrival. I don't know why I sent it to
Yahiko though; he's an arrogant jerk. When I thought about though I consider
Yahiko my best friend, actually I really like him. I can't wait to introduce him to Kamatari though! I met Kamatari
on the boat soon after we left Germany; Kamatari scared me at first but he's
really a nice guy. The line's finally moving! I thought we were going to be
stuck here forever!
Ara, I'm so nervous. Yutaro is such
a sweet kid; he wants to introduce me to all his friends. He's so adorable when he talks about his
crush. I think that Yutaro and that boy at the Aoi-ya would make such a cute
couple. I wonder what this "Yahiko" is like. I just can't wait to play
matchmaker and set Yutaro and "Yahiko" up; Yutaro's to shy to make the first
move. For some reason the name Yahiko seems familiar though. Oh well. I'm not
sure why I'm coming back to Japan, I feel very uneasy here. I still miss my
Shishio-sama. I wonder if I'll see anyone from the Aoi-ya here, that girl…what
was her name…Karou said that they lived in Tokyo. I think it would be nice to
she her, I think we could be good friends. Well she owes me for destroying my
poor Oh Gama so I should pay her a visit anyway. I really miss my Oh Gama at a
time like this, I feel vulnerable without it. I hope that it's okay it was so
hard to find a replacement. Ara! My trunk! My poor Oh Gama!
Kamatari raced over to where
his trunk was being none to gently unloaded from the ship. Scolding the workers
Kamatari regained possession of his trunk before his precious Oh Gama could be damaged.
Finding a replacement for a weapon like that was very difficult. Holding the rather
large and heavy trunk possessively Kamatari returned to where Yutaro and Dr. Hans
were waiting for their friends. Grinning broadly Kamatari began to tease Yahiko
to pass the time.
"Yahiko-kun are you searching
for your koibito?"
"Kamatari-san!" yelled Yutaro
furiously
"Ara, ara Yutaro-kun just teasing"
Dr. Hans watched the teasing with unconcealed amusement; Yutaro
was now attempting to hit the nimble Kamatari with the shinai Karou had given him.
Dr. Hans laughed as Kamatari caught the tip of the shinai and pulled Yutaro up by
it. Smiling Dr. Hans called out to the energetic pair.
"Yutaro! Kamatari-san! Kenshin
and the others are here!"
~Owari~
Well that wraps up another chapter of my fic. Okay before anyone gives me grief about the "like-like" thing I'm trying to everyone's part according to his or her actions and such in the series. Yahiko and Yutaro are around 10 to 11 years old. How many 10/11 yr olds have serious mushy romances? Example the infamous question: Do you like him or like-like him? Sorry for those of you hoping for another chapter more like the last, chapters where I hook two characters up will be like that and will take longer; chapters like this help me set up for one of those chapters so just hold tight I'm already concocting my next two character only, relationship started chapter. I may take one more chapter before I start pairing anyone else up or focus just on Kenshin and Sanosuke. Please leave any comments in review form but you can also email me at crazy_miko@gundamwing.net. I'd like to thank A-Chan again for helping me with this little project of mine. Please leave a review! Feel free to let me know if anything seems "off". Well Ja ne minna!
