Getting Sanosuke ready
"Thanks again Kenshin." said an easy-going Sanosuke. "Don't mention it." They were now at Kaoru's Kamiya Dojo, recent home of Sanosuke. "Sanosuke, I think Mishiru is a very nice girl, look how much she's having." said Kaoru, the load young woman. She had just brought some tea out for all of them. "I didn't know you had your own place Sanosuke," said a quizitive Kaoru. "Not that I'm trying to question your doubt as a father but, what is she wearing?" Megumi was here too. "Since when were you here?" "I heard and decided to give her a check-up." "She's fine, just butt-out. I've got her under control."
Mishiru still felt shy, yet she didn't show it. Yahiko came around from the corner, "Yahiko!!!" the two little girls Ayame and Suzume yelled, "This is our new friend Mishiru" "Yeah Mishiru." "Hi there" Mishiru blushed. The only time she had met him was her rude awakening of him. She curtsied, even though no one knew why. Yahiko ran over to Kenshin to just sit and talk with them about whatever they were. Suddenly something flew from Yahiko. Mishiru held it up and soon decided to keep it.
"Sanosuke I have a great idea. Why don't me and Megumi take Mishiru shopping? She could use some new clothes, and maybe some ribbons, and sandals." "Then what am I supposed to do." "Well you can take 'nice' lessons from Kenshin," snorted Kaoru. "What? As If I'm not nice enough already?" they laughed even Kenshin. "Fine." "Great we should leave soon, call her over." "Mishiru!" Mishiru stopped and looked toward Sanosuke; then ran toward him. He picked her up and put her on his lap. "Would you like to spend the day with, Kaoru and Megumi?" Mishiru looked at the women's smiling faces. Then she nodded. "Okay, we should go now." "Bye daddy," she hugged him. "Behave yourself." "She will! Lets go Mishiru" Kaoru looked down at Mishiru. The little girl grabbed her hand and smiled back. She felt safe with these women.
Yahiko started practicing some sword basics and Kenshin was doing the usual laundry. "Kenshin, I was thinking." "Yes, Sano?" "Well, do you think Kaoru would mine if we moved here?" "No, I don't think she would." Yahiko stopped, shook his head, and started again. "You know Sanosuke. How do you think Mishiru's going to turn out when she's an adult?" "Why do you seem so interested, Yahiko?" "Well your all of the wrong qualities in a father, what if she turns out to be exactly like you. Its hard enough dealing with you!" Sanosuke threw a rock at him "Shut-up!" "Well Sano, Yahiko wasn't all wrong," said a quiet Kenshin. "What are you saying, Kenshin?!" "Well maybe some of your violent behavior will rub off on her." "I hope so." ????? Yahiko and Kenshin were confused. "I don't want her to be a wimp, or defenseless." "All I'm saying is you should show her the loving side of you." "Oh!" And for the next 3 hours, Kenshin explained exactly what he thought.
"We're back!" Kaoru was caring bunches and bunches of boxes. "I think Mishiru is set for a full decade." Sanosuke nodded at Yahiko's remark. "Go ahead and show him your presents," said Megumi. A beautiful, newly clothed Mishiru went over to Sanosuke. She handed him his newly cleaned shirt and cupcake sized shortcake. "Thank-you" he said and hugged her. When he stood up he slipped his shirt back on and she tugged his pant leg. "Huh?" Mishiru handed him a beautiful gold oval locket and inside was a photograph of herself. He ruffled her bangs and kissed her forehead. He picked her up and put her on his shoulders. "You look hungry, come on, it's on me!" "Yeah right!" Actually, they just ate there and it wasn't half bad. Soon they were all drinking sake and Sanosuke decided to give Mishiru a bath. "You sure were dirt, well that's about it." He dried her off and helped her in her new clothes.
They were all sitting down talking about previous times. Megumi had left. And Kaoru was braiding Mishiru's hair. Yahiko was sent to make Mishiru a bed next to Sanosuke's and Sanosuke was doing most of the talking. But it wasn't going to stay this peaceful for much longer. It all started when Kaoru asked Sanosuke, "Can you get her clothes out of the bathroom?" "Sure." When he was bringing the clothes back, he had discovered the picture/photograph. "Mishiru where did you find this?" Mishiru was getting frightened. Kaoru was stroking her arm peacefully as she stood. "On the floor outside." "You know Mishiru, I would appreciate it if you don't lie to me." "But I did." Kaoru let go. Yahiko's ears perked up. "I'll give you one more chance. Where did you find it?" "I told you. I'm telling the truth." ~slap~ Sanosuke slapped her across the face. Yahiko rushed in. She started to cry. Kenshin picked her up and took her to where he slept, and set her on the bed. He grabbed the blanket and pillow from the room with Sanosuke's things and set her stuff inside the room she was in now. He then cooed to her softly rocking her back and forth.
~Punch~ Kaoru pushed Sanosuke down. "What did you do that for? Do you even know what happened?" "She's the only one who knew where it was so she had to have taken it from my chest." Yahiko then knew it was all his fault, but didn't say anything. "Do you know why she gave you that locket?" Sanosuke just looked down. "She gave it to you because she loved you, and feels safe around you. You were doing so good with her. But I don't know if she will even talk to you anymore." Yahiko was still standing there, looking at them with these sad eyes. Sanosuke got up. "Yahiko, tell her I'm sorry." Soon he was in his room and just before Yahiko went out, he was stopped by Kaoru, "Just leave the baby to himself." But Yahiko wasn't going to see Sano, he really needed to talk to Kenshin about what really happened. So he left anyway, but he stopped to see Sanosuke standing in front of that room Kenshin and Mishiru were in. After Sanosuke left Yahiko was moving toward his sorrow. Tell Kenshin.
