Part 4-Sano pays and Kenshin saves
After the fights had finally settled down, and everyone was introducted, they went out to eat. At Sano's favorite place of course!
As soon as they were seated, Kenshin began to look around the place. It was a typical Japanese resteraunt. Nice, private booths inclosed with japanese artwork on the walls. The steaming pot of food was placed in the center.
Kenshin happily took his share of his food. He hadn't eaten in awhile. His stomach was about to shrival into nothing it he didn't feed it!
The first bite was quick. He barely felt the sting from the hot food before swollowing it. He gave a happy grin to everyone around him.
"This is very good, that is it." He said.
Everyone had took their own share and began to eat. Kenshin's stomach was finally getting some decent food! He had been throwing out Kaoru's toxic food. He had nothing against Kaoru's cooking, just that, he didn't want to die at an early age.
As soon as everyone was finished, the big problem came up. Who was going to pay the bill? Sano wasn't going to pay, he never paid. Yahiko.. well, didn't have any money. Kenshin, he didn't have a lot of money with him..
All the guys looked at Kaoru with sappy eyes.
"Oh no! You guys invited me to come now you want me to pay for the meal? What type of gentlemen are you?" Kaoru questioned, glaring at the men.
"Kaoru-dono, sessha would pay but-" Kenshin started, but Kaoru cut him off.
"Oh you are going to pay? That's good. I'll be waiting outside." She said with a cheerful smile on her face. It was almost a foxy smile. She gracefully walked outside while Kenshin's jaw was on the ground and his eyes were swirls.
"Way to go Kenshin. Thanks for paying." Sano said, standing up to Leave, before being tugged down by Kenshin.
"That's Sessha problem that it is. I only have enough for most of the tab. Can you pay the rest?" Kenshin begged him. He didn;t want to be kicked out of the town already! This was only his first week here.
"Alright, alright! I'll pay what you can't pay." Sano said, finally giving in.
Yahiko was stifling his laughter. He couldn't believe Kenshin got Sano to pay for something! It was near impossible for someone to do! Yahiko put down his chopsticks and got up.
"Well, I'm going to go outside and wait for you guys." He said, while walking out.
"Ok, so how much do I have to pay?" Sano asked, with his hands firmly placed in his pockets. The toothpick was magically back in his mouth already. Kenshin woundered how he could have missed Sano putting his toothpick back in his mouth..
"Oh.. Umm.. Just two Yen would do." Kenshin answered.
"TWO YEN? That's going to cut my pocket a lot more then what I thought a meal here would. Alright." Sano said, dragging out his money. He only had six Yen left and come chump-change. He set two yen down on the table, then turned to leave.
"Sessha is very grateful, that I am." Kenshin said, smiling at Sano's back.
"Your welcome." Sano said, continuing to walk away.
Kenshin shook his head softly, before paying the rest of the bill. He quickly gathered up his sword and left the place.
Outside, Kaoru was eyeing the same painting that she was looking at the day before. She seemed to be longing for it.
Yahiko was just walking around a few shops, glancing at a few things that were either colorful or where causing the sun to hit his eyes. Sano, was going straight for a house. Probably to go gamble to get some of his money back.
Kenshin walked up to Kaoru.
"Is Kaoru-Dono sure she does not want Sessha to buy the painting?" Kenshin asked her, while looking over her shoulder at the painting. It seemed to get even better every time he looked at it. Was that even possible?
"I'm sure. I don't want you wasting your money on silly things like paintings." Kaoru answered. She turned to him with a smile. "Though, it was nice of you to ask."
Kenshin smiled back. He thought she had the most prettiest smile. It made her whole face light up. And it gave him a warm feeling deep inside.
"HEY! COME BACK HERE!" A voice shouted out. Kenshin and Kaoru turned to see what was the matter.
A Man was running down the street. He was carring a pot that was making a strange sound. It sounded like money was in side of it. He was probably stealing from the poor person that was yelling for him to stop.
Kenshin narrowed his eyes at the man running with the pot. He quickly dropped his sleath and kicked it under the man's feet. Of course, the man fell with the pot fling into the air. Kenshin quickly ran over to the pot and caught it before it broke on the ground. Kenshin righted himself and looked down at the man.
"Why you!" The man said. He went to grab Kenshin's ankles from his ground position. Kenshin just walked on the man, literally. He walked on the man's back and jumped off. He picked up his sword and sleath. Then handed the pot back to the woman who had been shouting for the man to stop.
Kenshin turned back to the man, that was suppose to be on the ground. After all, when Kenshin stepped on his back, he also hit a pressure point. The man should not be able to move for a little while. But, the man was no where in sight.
Kenshin looked around, very confused by all of this. Then, Kaoru walked up to him.
"You were great Kenshin!" Kaoru said, patting him on the back for his good work.
"Thank you Kaoru-Dono. Sessha does what he can, that he does. Where is Yahiko?" Kenshin questioned.
"I'm right here." Yahiko said. he was looking at Kenshin's sword. "I thought people weren't aloud to carry them anymore."
"This is a reverse blade sword, that it is. It can't cut anything. Sessha carries it around for protection and to protect others that I do." Kenshin said, putting the sleath back in place.
******
"Hey Kenshin? How could you move that fast? Do you have some kind of training or something?" Yahiko asked.
"Sessha was in the great war, that he was." Kenshin answered. He was currently doing the rest of the cleaning. Yahiko was sitting down, watching him and asking him questions. Kaoru was fixing up some of the paint in the dojo.
"Tha great war?! You mean the Bakumatsu? That would make up about 30!" Kaoru said, stopping what she was doing and staring at Kenshin like he was a ghost or something.
"Well, Sessha is almost 30. Sessha is 27 that I am." Kenshin said, looking up at Kaoru like it was common knowledge.
"But.. but you look my age!" She exclaimed.
"Thank you Kaoru-Dono." Kenshin said, smiling at her.
She sighed. 'I can't believe he's 10 years older then me! He sure doesn't look it.'
