S.O.U

['...' = thoughts "..." = speaking]
Misao stepped out of the furo fully refreshed and clean. How good it was to be clean without blood all over you! But her ninja outfit was a different story... She was currently in a bath robe as she looked down at the floor at her blood-stained clothes. She hoped her usual clothes were washed or she would... Would... Misao starts to cry thinking of the thought of... Wearing a regular kimono! She snapped out of her thought's when she felt something was wrong... She didn't know why but when she then heard loud bickering she ran into the house forgetting all about tying her bathrobe tight enough.
She gasped she saw Himura holding Kaoru. "Is... Zen alright?" She managed above a whisper. Himura heard her but ignored her as he placed Kaoru down on the floor. "Bandages..." He said removing Kaoru's gi, Misao gasped when she realized it was a woman, "what?" She asked forgetting what he had said seeing that she was a woman, "bandages! You baka-- Can't you see she needs them?!" He practically yelled. Misao looked at her wound which looked to be quite serious as his wrapping's on the wound soaked right through. "How-" Misao started but was interrupted by Himura glaring her with his promise of death look. She bolted up the stairs ran into a room and came out with a bundle of bandages. As she was nearing the stairway Aoshi came from the other hall way [AN: Two halls connect together meeting each other next to the stairway] and blocked her path.
"Aoshi-sama?" Misao's eyebrow shot up as she wondered why he was blocking her way, "onegai move! Someone need's these bandages disparately!" Aoshi put his hands on her shoulder's and spun her around to face the other direction, "AOSHI-SAMA!" Misao yelled before she felt the belt on her bathrobe tighten as if it had never been around her waist. She whirled around and Aoshi was gone. Misao looked at her bathrobe quite confusingly, 'I came out of the bath house, rushed in when I heard loud bickering, I just wrapped my belt around me not securing it tightly... ARGH!' Her face got red as a tomato, Aoshi must have saw her exposing almost everything! Quickly disregarding the thought she clutched the bandages in her hands and ran back downstairs. When she got there Himura had taken off his, so called bandages, putting them off to the side. Misao quickly handed him her bandages, unfortunately the wound was still bleeding. "Misao. Go get Soujirou for me."
Soujirou came out of the dojo which he was practicing in and walked over to Himura's side, "that's not good. Where were you when this happened to her?" Soujirou asked him but Himura just ignored the question and told him, "Seiichi Kisho is the nearest local doctor near here. He's four mile's down at a clinic heading towards the , get him here. He's a bastard who doesn't give a damn about nobody so you'll have to give him plenty of money. There's plenty of money in an wallet in my room, the wound might be serious, it hasn't stop bleeding yet." Soujirou nodded, hurrying upstairs, going inside himura's room and grabbed his wallet. Soujirou came back downstairs and hurried to the door. Misao stopped him for a brief second, "shukuchi?" She asked him, he smiled and nodded. Misao shook her head but smiled anyway, "don't leave too many pothole's on the road." Soujirou chuckled, "of course." With-in a blink of an eye he was gone and dust started to form on the down the road.
****
Himura was getting impatient it had already been twenty minutes since Soujirou left. Of course, he should have expected as much. If it were him he would have thrown Seiichi on his shoulder and run back. 'That baka doctor probably has to have a fancy-ass carriage bring him.' Himura thought. He had carried Kaoru upstairs to the medical room where a futon lay and placed her down. Now he leaned against the wall with his katana at his side over looking Kaoru and waiting for Seiichi to come. Hearing they sound of footsteps he looked up in time to see Soujirou opening the door for Seiichi who stepped inside with a snooty look on his face. Seiichi sat to the side of Kaoru, taking off her bloody bandages, and pulled out a needle and thread.
Hours passed by and Himura never left the room. Misao and Soujirou would check in from time to time to see if she might had woken up yet. But so far no luck and Himura snapped his head up with the sound of a box closing; Seiichi put the needle and thread in a box and snapped it shut. Seiichi lifted himself off the floor turning around to look at him, "no major organs were hit but she will feel weak for quite a while, she has a fever so make sure that cloth stays on her forehead and that it stay's cold." 'I should charge more money from now on...' Seiichi thought to himself. He stepped out of the room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. Himura looked back at Kaoru and swore he heard her murmur something. Then she panted for air, in between breath's she said, "...I... I'm... Sorry... Father..." 'Her father?... I wonder what she's dreaming about for her to apologize about something.' His thoughts were answered by Kaoru with the next thing she said, "I know... Kamiya Kasshin Ryu... Use's wooden swords, but... I had to... Do something to help... Help S.O.U... I don't... Can't... Stand to hear about... Anyone else getting... Hurt."
'I'll leave, she will be fine.' He thought as he stood up, grabbing his katana and leaving the room.
****
Everyone (except Saitou) gathered around the table for dinner. Aoshi stayed away from the table, calmly; expressionless as always; sipping on some tea. Everyone was told of Kaoru being a woman and each taking it differently. Mostly everyone was in shock, Aoshi said nothing, and Saitou was smirking saying, "ha. How pitiful..." While everyone was in the middle of eating Misao stood up, "I'll... bring her some food." Himura stared at her for a moment and nodded. Misao walked over to the kitchen grabbing one large bowl filled with miso soup, one smaller bowl filled with rice, a cup with tea, and some chopsticks. She placed them on a tray and returned to the room, walking up the stairs.
She slid the door open to see Kaoru sitting up clutching the side of her stomach. Misao didn't really expect her to be awake. Kaoru looked up to see her standing there with a tray of food and she smiled the best she could. Misao noticed after she smiled she flinched do to the pain. Misao walked into the room, placing the tray beside her futon and sitting down, "it hurts that bad huh?" Kaoru removed her hand and smiled, "I'm fine..." She said flinching again. Misao frowned, she was a bad liar. Misao took on a serious face and stared at Kaoru, "what's your real name?" Kaoru's eyebrow's shot-up, she was in so much pain she didn't realize that her face was no longer covered by her hair and that she didn't have her glasses on anymore. "Kaoru... Kamiya Kaoru..." Misao nodded, picking up the tray and placing it in front of her, "so Kaoru..." Kaoru smiled if felt good to be called by her real name again, "were you ever planning on telling us you were a woman?"Kaoru rubbed her chin with her thumb and forefinger, "hmm... Well I... Didn't think I would get caught... Will you guy's kick me out?" She asked changing the subject. Misao frowned, no one had said anything about kicking her out. Upon seeing her frown Kaoru frowned too, 'they're going to kick me out... I guess I deserve it... I'm not good with real swords and I've already been injured in my first battle...'

Wallets - In the second episode of RK you might notice that when the old man pulled out his money he called it a purse. I changed that to wallet because it sounded better for Kenshin to carry around, then a purse. It looked to me that it was just a piece of cloth held together by a bunch of rubber bands.
