Chapter 3
Midori stared at the picture of the smiling woman. "Sayo? Who is Sayo?" She thought as she walked outside, she soon crashed into Sano. "Uh sorry." She said. "Oh by the way you dropped this picture." She handed him the picture. Sano took it and kind of stared at it for a while. "What's up with him?" Yahiko asked.
"I have to go now, See ya later everyone." Sano said walking away still looking at the picture. Midori looked down at the ground and rubbed her arm nervously.
"Who was that in the picture?" Midori asked.
"That was Sayo de gozaru, Sano had somewhat of a relationship with her, she was a priestess, but she died not soon after they met." Kenshin said.
"Oh that's sad, I guess he was upset that he almost lost that picture of her." Midori said.
"He normally doesn't act like that." Yahiko said, there was a sinlence for a while.
"It's getting about time to have dinner." Kaoru said. So they all went inside and Kaoru went to cook.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay dinner ready everyone!" Kaoru said. Midori smiled and took a lot of food on her plate, and then shoved it in her mouth. Kenshin and Yahiko looked at each other nervously, her smile soon turned into a face fault. Kaoru looked over at her and asked.
"What do you think Midori?" Midori put on a large and smile and said with a mouthful
"Well it uuuhh... good." They ate on for a while and Midori toke it better than some had."Do you want us to help you make dinner tomorrow Kaoru-San?" Midori asked
"Sure, you can help to Kenshin!" Kaoru said. A few hours later they all went to bed and pretty much had a peaceful night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori woke up to the sound of Kaoru telling everyone that they were going to Akeabo to get hot pot again from Midori's money. Kenshin told her she should put it towards fixing up the dojo, but she said that was what Sano, Yahiko and Kenshin were supposed to do. Midori smiled and got up, she looked through her clothes. "Maybe I'll put my nice kimono on since we are going out today." She thought as she put the cerulean blue Kimono on with the multi-colored obe.
"Ohayo everyone." Midori said coming outside. Everyone greeted her back. "So we're getting hot pot this morning?"
"Yes!" Karou said, Sanosuke entered as Kaoru said this.
"Ohayo Sano-san!" Midori said.
"Morin' Midori." He said
"We are getting hot pot today." Yahiko said.
"Again? Can I come? I'm hungry." Sano said.
"Hai! Of course Sano-san." Midori said smiling.
"Oh good." Sano said. Kaoru wapped him over the head with her wooden
practice stick.
"OI! What was that for Jou-chan?" He asked angrily.
"You didn't work yesterday after you came with us to Akeabo, if you want to come today, you're working." Kaoru said.
"Well it's up to Midori 'cause it her money, right Midori?" Sano asked getting the angry eyes. Kaoru got the angry eyes too.
"Well Midori gave ME the money right Midori?" Kaoru said. Midori got those fed-up looking anime eyes and said nothing. They fought for a while until Sano decided to come and just "pay" for his food.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Here again everyone?" Tae said looking happy.
"Yup! Hot pot again!" Kaoru said as Tae led them to a place to sit.
"Well here I'll be back in about an hour with your hot pot." Tae said as headed off into the kitchen.
"So did anyone tell you about the woman in the picture yesterday?" Sano asked Midori.
"Hai, I'm sorry to hear that." Midori said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well this look like the place." A pink haired girl of about seventeen said at the gate of Kaoru's dojo.
"Yeah, but there is no one here." Said a boy of about seventeen also with blue hair.
"Hmm this piece of paper says out to Akeabo, we will just have to wait for them." The girl said smirking, as entered the dojo with the boy behind her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all ate there hot pot and Sano snuck out quickly as Tae sighed because Sano did not pay again. It was not soon before they all got home.
"Hey do you hear something?" Yahiko asked.
"Yeah, I do." Midori said.
"Well seems they've found us already Kubo." Said a pink-haired girl with a sword as she came out of the shadows.
"Yeah I would have expected Midori to have taken longer, Hoshi." A blue haired boy said. "Kuso! Not you two asses!" Midori said. " Well why don't you just make it easy and give us the scripture?" Kubo asked slyly.
"Well try and get it!" Midori shouted.
"Okay." Hoshi said smirking as she wildly came at Midori. Midori ran into another room.
"So are you fighting us in place of her?" Kubo asked.
"Yeah we are!" Yahiko said.
"You get Midori; I'll deal with these guys." Hoshi said.
"Alright." Kubo said heading to the room, Midori tried to run out but Kubo held her back. Kaoru whacked him over the head, but it didn't affect him much he grabbed her arm and dragged her outside, but she couldn't release herself, so she punched him in the stomach and just barely escaped. Then she ran behind the Kenshin gumi. And Sano blocked him from getting to her.
"I guess it's you and me roster head!" Kubo said.
"SHUT-UP!" Sano said punching him making him stumble backwards. Hoshi face smiled at the thought of an idea."Midori..remember your mother being killed?" Hoshi asked. "You'll have a bloody death like her's expect no one will cry for you." She knew, Midori became weak at those thoughts.
"Shut-up." Midori said.
"And your brother, you watched them get murdered..." Kubo said, cacthing on to what Hoshi was doing.
"Stop it!" Yelled Midori.
"You held their limp soaked bodies..as others around you were also dead," Hoshi said.
"S-stop." Midori said crouching into the corner and covering her ears.
"Dead..bloodly just like you'll be." Kubo said getting her face.
"I see they're mentally torturing her." Kenshin said
"Stop it!" Kaoru yelled as the continued to talk to her. Sano basically beat up Kubo, Yahiko and Kaoru went to go take out Hoshi. It happened quite quickly. Then they went to go check on Midori, she was looking frightened.
"Midori-dono?" Kenshin asked. Midori didn't say anything she just stared ahead of her.
"Oi! Midori!" Sano yelled. She still just stared, she began to breath very heavily "Mamma.Onei-Sama...don't leave." She said beginning to cry.
"Midori!" Kaoru yelled, grabbing her shoulder. She didn't do anything. Sano shook her and she fell over and it had seemed she had passed out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori rubbed her head as she woke up everything seemed a little fuzzy, she looked around and saw Kaoru, Kenshin, Yahiko, Sano, Megumi, an old man and two little girls who all looked worried.
"What's going on?" Midori asked. Then she remembered the flashbacks. "How did I get here?"
"Sano carried you; you had passed out at the time." Kenshin said (You know how he carries people: Kinda just thorws them under his arm ^^).
"Oh." She said blushing a little.
"What happened to you?! We were all really scared." Kaoru asked with worry in her voice.
"Yeah you feeling alright?" Yahiko asked.
"Well I had some bad flashbacks and then I guess I passed out." Midori said blankly.
"Sorry to scare you all, sometimes that happens to me." "So Sano carried me over here, why does that make me exited? Why is my heart pounding so fast? I feel kinda lame that someone had to carry me here, I feel wimp, but at the same time happy naze?" Midori thought.
"Well I've gotta go home now, see ya all tomorrow, feel better Midori."
"Thanks Sano-san." Midori said smiling.
"Ooooo Midori!" Yahiko said grinning.
"Don't say anything!" Midori said blushing.
"OOO! You were blushing!" Yahiko said.
"WAS NOT!" she said punching him.
"Who's dat?" Anamaye asked pointing to Midori.
"Midori! Come meet everyone!" Megumi said. "Everyone this is Midori."
Kaoru said.
"Midori, this is Anamaye, Suzamaye and Dr.Gensei." Kaoru said pointing to them as she said their names. They stayed and chatted for a while, but soon had to go home. Midori still wondering why she was so happy,but angry at the same time, to find out Sano carried her, normally she would have been mad and would have felt idiotic.
Notes: Look like Midori-chan is starting to like Sano-san ^^. Anyhow please please review! Thanks!
