Taking care of Mishiru- the problem with parenting at Sanosuke's
"We're here," said a tired Sanosuke. Yahiko looked up, 'What a dump', he thought to himself. The roof was missing some material and most windows had cracks in them. The wood was old and smelt musty. But he hadn't seen nothin' yet. "Don't just stand there, come on." Yahiko walked in. 'At least the hallway is clean'. "Go ahead and look around. I'm going to put her in her bed." said Sanosuke.
First Yahiko went into a room with a table and some pillows, the dining room. It was a mess! Dishes everywhere, but Yahiko could tell they hadn't been used in a while. He didn't hesitate to leave that room. He walked then into another room, clothes everywhere, "Sanosuke's room" He had a messy bed /futon and the window was open. A lantern was burning bright. Before going to find Sanosuke he found a small room with some pillows, "Just a sitting room" This room was quite a bit cleaner yet still a little messy. Yahiko walked to where a bunch of hand drawn pictures of a small girl lie. This girl was 2ish and she had a long ponytail with a bow holding it up. Infact this girl looked like . Mishiru! Yahiko picked one up and turned it over. "Mishiru -age 1 ½." Underneath the words there seemed to be water drops, dry now, but large. Yahiko wondered , " I wonder if Sanosuke drew these?" He stuffed it in his shirt and knew now that he would do everything to help Sanosuke take care of his daughter. "He's probably wondering where I am."
Yahiko walked fast and found the room Sanosuke was in. Sanosuke was putting a white under shirt on Mishiru; she already had some shorts on. Mishiru's hair was long; light brown, and beautiful, now down and out of her ponytail. As Sanosuke was putting on her shirt, he held her ribbon in his mouth so he had one hand holding her up and one putting on the shirt. Out of the corner of his eye, Sanosuke could see Yahiko waiting. "Come in, I'm sorry my house is such a mess." In the room there were 2 beds /futons, set up. "If you don't mind I'm going to sleep in this room." "Well actually I'd like to sleep here, if that's alright with you." Sanosuke knew Yahiko was a lot more serious than he had been. "Okay, well when you wake-up I'll need your help in the morning." "Thanks, Sanosuke" "Your welcome" Before leaving the room Sanosuke knelt down beside the sleeping Mishiru. He kissed her forehead and then ruffled her bangs; "See ya in the morning, Yahiko"
Blown out lights-it was still light. Yahiko couldn't sleep. He was still confused about Sanosuke's feelings. He took out that picture he had and then removed his shirt. This picture would prove a lot. Those drops must have been tears. He folded the picture up and put it with his shirt next to the bed. He then crawled over to Mishiru. Mishiru was sucking her thumb and flinching in her sleep; it was a shaking, as if she were cold, flinch. Yahiko grabbed his shirt and put it on her. "This isn't so hard" Yahiko gasped in fright. Mishiru was doing a grabbing motion with her hand. Yahiko looked around. About 3 ft away from her bed was a stuffed bunny. It's arm was almost completely torn off but still stayed on. He took it and put its head on her grabbing hand. He finally found it in himself to go to sleep.
"Yahiko?.Hello? I thought he said he was going to wake-up. Oh Well!" Sanosuke bent over Yahiko, whom was sound asleep, and was trying to wake him up. He was about to punch his head when Mishiru stopped his hand. She was holding her bunny under her arm and wiping the sleep out of her eyes. She let go and walked over to Yahiko and started moving his face around making funny faces. Yahiko immediately woke up. "What the heck?" Mishiru ran over to Sanosuke and hid behind him. "Geez, Yahiko. You scared her, Hahahaha." He laughed. "Ha Ha very funny," said Yahiko. "Yahiko you better get ready, we're going to Kaoru's in about an hour." Sanosuke picked up Mishiru She had a frown on her face. "What's wrong?" ~grrr.~ her stomach growled. They paused, "I think she's hungry. Must get it from your side." Yahiko teased. "Just hold on Mishiru. We better get ready fast." Yahiko then was left alone, to get dressed. Sanosuke found it difficult to find clothes for Mishiru, but soon had no choice. He took off his shirt and used her ribbon to tie it tightly on Mishiru. It looked funny but worked.
While Sanosuke was writing a letter in the sitting room, Yahiko decided to do an investigation. He went into Sanosuke's room. But he saw something he hadn't seen before. An open chest was found in the middle of the room. Yahiko looked behind him, making sure no one was there. Then he crept up to the open chest, and reached in and grabbed a photograph. There was, Mishiru, Sanosuke, and a women, Sishene'. They looked so happy together. But this was strange because the last time Kaoru, Kenshin, Sanosuke, and himself had taken a photo Sanosuke was scared stiff. Something about stealing your soul. Yahiko reached again and found a cloth. It was a ripped up Kimono. Not just that but it had blood on it; Right where there should be a back part. He dropped it in disgust + fright. - Did he dare look for something else? - yes - The only other thing there was of interest was a love letter to Sishene' from Sanosuke.
"To Sishene' What have I done to lose you?
I cannot take care of our child alone.
I will find you, and we can work this out.
Your Love,
Sano"
"Eww. How mushy." Sanosuke's footprints were heard around the corner. "I hope he doesn't notice if I take his picture, I have to show Kenshin." "Yahiko, We're going!" He rushed outside to where Sanosuke, now was. "Finally."-
"We're here," said a tired Sanosuke. Yahiko looked up, 'What a dump', he thought to himself. The roof was missing some material and most windows had cracks in them. The wood was old and smelt musty.
