Chapter 10 - Hoshi and Kubo's pasts...
Hoshi was looking down, in a dark room as she stood in front of Turo, looking rather cold, angry expression on his face.
"I'm very disappointed with you and Kubo, Hoshi." Turo said coldly.
"I'm very sorry Turo-Sama! We will train harder!" Hoshi said bowing.
"Fine." Just don't be so worthless next time..now go!" Turo yelled.
"Hai, Turo-Sama!" Hoshi said quickly bowing, and she left, Kubo was standing outside Turo's throne room.
"So..how'd it go?" Kubo asked looking down at Hoshi.
"Not very well." She said quietly. "He called me worthless..."
Kubo sighed. "Well, that's how he is; sometimes I wish I weren't working with him."
"Worthless.." Hoshi whispered as she blankly stared at the floor.
"Hoshi?" Kubo asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
"I think it's time we tell each other a little bit about our selves, Kubo." Hoshi said looking up at him.

"Oi! Where is Sano-san?" Midori asked. "He should be here by now!"
"Maybe he went off with another woman..." Yahiko said snickering.
Midori's eye twitched wildly. "He wouldn't do that!" She said angrily. "Kaoru-san! Kenshin-san! Do you know where Sano-san is?" Midori asked.
"No..well wait a sec, I think he said he was going to Megumi to eat lunch today." Kaoru said looking like she trying to remember.
"I'm going to Megumi's too!" Midori said angrily as she stomped out the door.
"See, I told you see really likes Sanosuke." Yahiko said, smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well I guess I should explain myself......" Hoshi said distantly
"Well alright........" Kubo said looking at her seeming a bit worried.
"Well I never really knew my parents, they died when I was very young. Then I had foster parents, they hated me, at ten they threw me out because they were completely sick of me. I was like there slave or something, they said I was worthless. I was all alone as a child, I was clingy to who ever would accept me. I worked at various places, for about a year, just more rejection, then I went and trained in the way of the sword. Of course, I felt worthless there too, so that's why I feel so awful when people call me worthless..It reminds me of all that." She said sighing as she put her head in hands.
"Hoshi." Kubo said softly placing his hand gently on her back.

Midori looked angry when she knocked on the door which was answered by Ayame, then she nervously laughed and asked if Sano was there, Ayame told her that Sano was indeed there.
"Can Midori stay for lunch too?" Ayame asked.
"Well I suppose." Megumi said. Ayame and Suzame yelled with delight. Midori watched watched Sano and Megumi very closely. "Hmmm.not too much happening between them." Midori thought, she thought as she watched Sanosuke try to take some food, but Megumi hit him. "That's something married people would do!" Midori thought as her eyes go all watery and filled with silly anime tears.
"What's wrong?" Suzame asked, looking up at Midori.
"Oh! Heh heh heh, nothing!" Midori said with a nervous laugh. Lunch was soon ready, and Midori made sure to sit next to Sanosuke, although Megumi sat on the other side of him, causing Midori to watch everything she did.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"As you know, I am part of the Iijima clan." Kubo said, Hoshi nodded slowly. (She was just someone hired buy Turo.) "Well when I was young, our clan and the Ishida clan had a large fight. Right then my whole family was brutally murdered right in front of me, so I have been alone ever since then." Kubo said quietly.
Hoshi hugged him. "Well we are both alone." Kubo looked down at her. " Now I know why she's so clingy, she's been rejected all the time, and now she is being accepted by someone." He thought as he hugged her back.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Thanks for the Lunch!" Midori said, smiling and bowing slightly.
"Yeah Thanks." Sanosuke said. "It's no fun having Jou-chan's food every day." They both turned around and headed back to the dojo.
"Well are you staying for dinner tonight?" Midori asked shyly as she began to fiddle with her fingers, turning her away from Sanosuke.
"Yeah, I am." Sanosuke said.
"Good." Midori thought. "Oh, alright." Midori said smiling as they both continued to the dojo, with Midori being happier than she was earlier.

"Sesshiro, come here." Turo said, looking down at the man entering the room.
"Hai Turo-Sama?" A deep voice asked.
"In a few days, I want you to go attack Midori." Turo said, in his normal cool tone.
"But Turo-Sama, I thought Hoshi and Kubo.." Sesshiro began to say, but he was interrupted by Turo.
"They failed last time! And I hope you won't, you are dismissed now." Turo said in his normal smug tone. "Oh, by the way Hoshi and Kubo will give you the details."
"Hai Turo-sama!" Sesshiro said turning and bowing. "I have to complete this.I can't lose, Turo-sama must approve." He thought.
Notes: Ack! I devolved the relationship between Hoshi/Kubo! Oh well I guess they have know one another for a while before then. Now, I will be eternally grateful if you review!
