Chapter IV: Aoshi is here?

Sanosuke ran as fast as he could to go back to the dojo.

"I can't believe that Aoshi is here just letting Jou-chan know not even Jou- chan told us about Aoshi coming back here too." He started talking at himself while running back to the dojo.

*Good I'm here. * he thought while opening the door to the dojo. He ran to the training area where Kenshin and Yahiko are practicing.

"Kenshin, Jou-chan is almost here with Aoshi!" he reached inside catching for breath.

"What? You mean Aoshi is here at Tokyo without that weasel girl? Very odd?" Yahiko began to think why isn't Misao not with him.

"Aoshi is here and headed right here at the dojo with Kaoru-dono?" he questioned him.

"Yes and-" before Sanosuke could say another word Aoshi and Kaoru arrived at the entrance of the dojo ground.

"Kenshin, Aoshi is here!!" Kaoru began to call Kenshin.

"Hai, hai Kaoru-dono." He began going outside the training area but before he could go out he whispered to Sanosuke. "Sano tell me later everything. And act your surprised to see him here because Kaoru-dono will suspect something." He left to see Kaoru and Aoshi.

Kenshin act as if he were surprised and began the conversation.

"Aoshi, what a big surprise. Where's Misao-dono?" he asked him.

"Misao doesn't want to leave her new boyfriend back at Kyoto." He answered.

"How about let's go inside and talk with a hot tea, ne?" Kaoru asked the two friends.

"Hai that would be lovely Kaoru-dono." Kenshin smiled at her. While Kaoru always blushes every time she sees Kenshin's warm smiles.

The trio went inside to chat and have some nice hot tea. Sano and Yahiko followed them as well.

"So you were saying that, you told Kaoru-dono not to tell us if you were coming here and this is a big surprise for the girls?" Kenshin asked him innocently.

"Yes it is Kenshin." Aoshi answered back. "Kaoru-chan kept it so good." He added.

"(blush)" Kaoru was blushing from he's compliment.

"So how did Kaoru-dono knows you're coming here?" he asked again.

"I sent her a letter from me back at Kyoto." He said.

"And the letter said there that I have to act myself all the time so all of you won't notice anything.(smiles at Aoshi)" Kaoru added.

"(blush) And she acted so well just like an actress." He said.

*This Aoshi has a big crush on Jou-chan! Good thing that Kenshin doesn't see it through him. But he's acting like he went here just to surprise Ayame and Suzumi but maybe he's here to admit he's love to Jou-chan.* Sanosuke thought.

"I'm sleepy. We better go to bed mi-" Kaoru couldn't finish the sentence she fell asleep.

"Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin emerged to her.

"Kaoru-chan!" then Aoshi emerged to her too.

"Jou-chan!" all of them went to her.
