Chapter VIII: Misao is back and so is Aoshi-sama!

Aoshi ran with his God-like speed to catch up with his crying Misao. As the two cat and mouse hunt went on they have reached the forest.

*I wonder if Kaoru-chan is healed already? * Aoshi thought. He heard little sobs, he stopped knowing that Misao have stop for rest. As Aoshi went near her he stopped.

"Misao-san, I ought we go back. Maybe Kaoru-chan is healed already?" he asked the little girl crying softly.

"Maybe! How would you know if she's alive or not Aoshi-sama!" she said while she still cries.

"If we want to know we better go back to the Kamiya dojo right away to know how she's doing." Aoshi suggested as he go near Misao.

"Are you sure Aoshi-sama?" Misao started to question her lovable Aoshi.

"Yes, Kaoru-chan and the others might be worried sick about you by now." He said as he took his hand to take those tears off Miaso's face.

The little girl smiled and said to him,

"Hai, Aoshi-sama!"

They left the forest and started to go back to the dojo.

After 5 minutes.

"I wonder if Aoshi had comforted Misao yet?" Okina asked them.

"He'll sure will Okina-sensei!" Kaoru gave a little smile at him.

"KNOCK KNOCK!" the dojo doors opened while Tae went outside who it was.

"Ta dai ma!!" Misao said proudly.

"Misao-chan! Aoshi-san! You two are back!" Owamasu said.

Misao went running to Kaoru's room. She was surprised to his Kaoru alive.

"Oh, Kaoru-san! I thought that you'll die and leave us here all alone." She said to her, she hugged her, then tears started to fall on her cheeks.

"Misao-chan...." Kaoru caressed her, she took her hand to take Misao's tears off.

Misao stopped hugging her big sister.

"Kaoru-san, don't do anything like that ever again, ne?" she asked her.

Kaoru said nothing because she didn't try to kill herself, but she was targeted by her own ex-boyfriend.

Misao's smile turned to a frown.

"Doushte Kaoru?" Misao asked her.

"I didn't kill myself, demo....." she can't continue.

"Demo nani?" she asked.

Everybody stared at Kaoru.

"Daijoubu mina!! It's nothing, really! Let's just eat dinner, ne?" she asked them.

Sanosuke, Yahiko, Suzi, Yumi, Misao, Okina and Tsubamae nodded all the same time because they were hungry already.

"Hai, hai..." She said to them.

Kenshin was so suspicious by Kaoru's acting that made him to be protective already.

They all went out of the room of Kaoru. Kaoru and Kenshin went last.

"Kaoru-dono, ano... Daijoubu de gozaru?" Kenshin asked the pretty woman beside him.

"Hai, Kenshin!" she said. *I think Kenshin knows everything already.* she thought.

"Ano... Let's go and eat with the others." He said to her while he smiles at her.

"Hai." Both of them went to the kitchen with the others.
