CHAPTER 8
Midori and Kaoru were out shopping, and they were chatting and giggling about various things .( They were mostly being giggly over the guys the liked, but they both pretty embrassed, they faces were both quite pink.) They soon came across Tae. Kaoru and Midori were still talking about Kenshin and Sanosuke, Tae smiled and said "Oh you like Sanoskue Midori?" Midori just blushed and said she had to go home. As she left Tae began to ask how her and Kenshin were doing, Kaoru got a little embrassed, but chattered on about him a bit anyway (she was still kinda giggly.) Yet Tae had some interesting news for Kaoru.
"Kaoru, I have something to tell you! We are having a party at the Akebeako tonight!" Tae said smiling.
"Oh? A party?" Kaoru said.
"Yes, I think it would be fun. Don't you?" Tae said, smiling, looking like she was up to something.
"Can you make it? I know it's short notice. but you can come, right?"
"Hai!" Kaoru said, smiling.
"We'll see you later! Oh, and by the way, what's the occasion?"
"It's Tsubame's birthday," Tae said.
"Okay! We'll be here at six! Bye!" Kaoru said as she took the tofu home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori looked down at the rice she was cooking and over at Kenshin, cooking fish. "I'm surprised Sano thanked me for that painting I made him, it's really not like him. But he still hasn't apologized. And I'm trying my hardest to make this lunch nice for him. Ahh, Midori you're such a baka." She tasted the rice, and it was done, and it didn't taste bad. All of a sudden, Kaoru came running, looking rather excited.
"Minna! We're going to a party tonight!"
"We are?" Sano asked flatly.
"Who's?" Yahiko asked.
"It's at the Akabeko! It's Tsubame's birthday!" Kaoru said.
"And I think you'd want to come, Sano, there'll be food there."
"Tsubame's birthday.. Oo, Yahiko! What are you going to give her?" Midori said slyly, as she came out with the rice, and Kenshin with the fish. "I don't know." Yahiko said, blushing.
"I'm sure you'll think of something to show your love for her," Midori said, snickering.
"URUSAI!" Yahiko said, getting angry. Midori took the rice over to the table and tripped, but the rice fortunately fell on the table, and didn't spill.
"So, when are we going?" Midori asked, serving herself some rice and fish. "At six o'clock," Kaoru said happily.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone was hurrying to get ready for the party, and it was pretty crazy. Yahiko was scrambling around trying to find a present for Tsubame. Then Midori offered to give him a painting if he paid her. He got rather mad and said he didn't have any money, but she told him next time he did, he'd just have to pay her back. Yahiko didn't really want to but it was the only thing he could do. Midori took this as an insult and just glared at him.
"Let's go, minna!" Kaoru yelled as she grabbed Kenshin's arm. Midori and Yahiko quickly followed after them, Midori was preting like she was Yahiko and saying "Asiteru Tsumabe!" Yahiko and her soon began to bicker, but Kenshin some how manged to calm them down. Midori looked at Kaoru who was sort of blushing as she held on to Kenshin's arm, they were both cahtting and they seemed quite happy. She imagined her and Sano like that, as her eyes got all sparkly. (It was quite funny.) Then everyone looked at her like she was crazy, and she became rather embarrassed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Welcome, Minna-san!" Tae said when Kenshin and everyone arrived. They greeted her back and went in.
"Happy birthday Tsubame!" they all said. Yahiko handed her the painting, causing them both to blush. Soon, many other guests arrived, including Sano, to Midori's delight. Tae saw this and got that creepy glint in her eye. "Does Midori really like Sanosuke? She did say she did early today..." Tae thought. "Maybe I should help out. but first I have to think of something."
Yahikohad been talking to Tsumabe for a while, but other guests arrived, and she had to go greet them. So Yahiko turned to see Midori trying to talk to a slightly drunk Sanosuke, who was contiuning to drink more sake anyhow
"Hey, Midori, ever had sake before?" Yahiko asked.
"Of course. But I bet a little boy like you hasn't," she said, crossing her arms.
"I have, too! I'll prove it, too! Let's see who can drink more!" Yahiko said.
"Oh, great. look what I got myself into," Midori thought. "Okay! You're on!" So they poured themselves a few drinks and Yahiko soon felt sick and had to go outside, but Midori was in a bit of a different mood. She stumbled over to Sanosuke. "Hey, *hic* Sano." she said, climbing onto his back. "You look really nice." She smiled rather strangely, as she ran her hands thourgh his hair, causing him to blush, and then fell asleep. Sano put her down, looking somewhat frightened.
"What's wrong with her?" he asked.
"She's drunk, de gozaru," Kenshin said.
"Yeah, I guess so," Kaoru said. Midori began mumbling things about Sano, but he had gone over to get some food, so he didn't hear her, but Tae did. "So, she DOES like him. even if she is drunk," she thought."I know! I can have Sano walk her home, and get Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko to go home before them." she smiled and told them her plan as Midori woke up. Midori felt a little sick, but she soon came inside, and went to join Sanosuke, she tried to drink more sake, but Tae stopped her. She looked around only to see that Kenshin and Kaoru were gone. "Awww... how romantic, they want on nice moonlight walk" she thought, even though she was really quite drunk. She then turned back to Yahiko and Sanosuke and joined in with their loud drunkeness.
"Sano-san! When the party is over, would you take Midori and Yahiko home?" Tae asked after an hour or so as she looked at the very sick and sleepy looking Yahiko and Midori. "My plan didn't work out completely... but... oh well," she thought.
"Naze?" Sanosuke asked.
"Because, they're kids and they need someone to walk them home," Tae said.
" Well I suppose I can." Sanosuke said.
"Oh, good," Tae said, running off. The party soon ended, and they all went home. Yahiko had passed out (he drunk more sake) so Sanosuke had to carry him home. Again, Midori got the little vision of her and Sanosuke together, and she blushed. "Stop thinking that, you goof!" she thought as she looked up at Sano again, with Yahiko under his arm, and she sighed a bit. (She was still a little drunk, so she was feeling kinda girly.) She kept staring at him until she looked at her, she blushed a lot and laughed nervously, turning her head in the other direction. They soon got home and put Yahiko in bed. Kenshin and Kaoru were asleep also.
"Well, I should be going home now," Sanosuke said, getting up and heading towards the door.
"It's so late.. you could just stay the night," Midori said, blushing a little.
He stopped walking and blushed a bit too. "No, I'll just go home now."
"Well, goodnight, Sano-san," Midori said, smiling a rather drunk smile.
"G'night," he said as he walked out the door. Midori went to bed and had a long sleep
