Chapter 16 Don't Leave
Midori sighed, it had been about a week since they left the dojo, and she was already quite tired. They hadn't really come across any major promblems, only things like having to sleep outside a couple nights, and things like that.
Midori streched her arms. "Hey, it's getting kind of late, can we settle down for the night?"
"Why don't we walk for about another hour?" Kenshin asked. She grummbled, but she nooded her head in agreement. She put her hands behind her head and looked up at the sun setting in the sky, she wished she could have painted it then, but she knew she couldn't. She then looked over to her friends, to she Karou and Yahiko arguing, and Sanosuke and Kenshin diccusing something She sighed and looked back up at the sunset. An hour had passed quicker than Midori thought it would. Kenshin told everyone it was time to settle down for the night. So they all got off the road, got out their blankets, and started a fire. Midori plopped her self down on the ground, and threw a blanket over her, going to sleep for a while. So everyone chatted quietly as she slept.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori tossed and truned a bit, pulling the blankets over her ears. She she woke up, she wasn't really tired any more, but she flet sorry making all her friends do so much for her. So she stood up and looked at the dying fire."I'm gonna go get some fire wood." She said heading over to the road, which lead over to the woods. "I'm just a promblem for them.I'm leaving tonight.I should'nt have made them come this far." She thought to her self.
"Oi, Midori mattie, I can't let a girl walk alone on a road at night," Sanosuke said going after her.
"Nani?!!? What do you think I'm wimp or something?" She asked him loudly, as they walked down the road together.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They soon arrived at the egde of the woods, it was a very quiet night, the sky was very starry and the full moon shone brightiy, illmunating themsleves and everything around them. Midori looked up at the moon, seeming sad. "Why'd you have to come? I cant't leave now." She mubbled.
"What the hell are talkin'about?" Sanosuke asked, sounding a little irated.
"I wanted to leave tonight..You guys are all doing to much for me, and I don't want you all to get hurt." She said turning her head towards the the ground.
"What the hell are you talking a bout?!? We've come all this way to help you and you want to leave? Kuso. Midori, that would be selfish." Sanosuke yelled at her as he looked at her with almost an angry expression on his face.
"You don't get it, do you?" She yelled back at him, her slivey-green eyes shot a piercing look at his dark brown eyes. "You guys all act like everything is gonna be okay! Well sometimes things don't turn okay! I mean really, you don't seem to get it." Midori yelled, looking up at him, with a bit of anger in her expression.
"We've been in a lot of battles before, we can handle it, and you need to just let us help you, don't be such a baka!" He yelled.
She sniffed, and began to sob a bit, but she quickly wipped away her tears, and forced her self not to cry. "You don't seem to care what I think." She mummbled moving closer to Sanosuke, she leaned her head and her closed fist on his chest, she sild her other arm around his back, gripping the cloth of his shirt, sobbing a little, he looked down at her head, and gentley placed his hand on the back of her head, and put his other on her back, bringing her body closer to his, put her other arm around his back gripping his shrit even tighter, she shook a little, he grippped her tighter, seemingly trying to comfort her.
"Do you really think we'd let ya leave Midori?" He asked sound a bit irked, as she looked up at him, trying to keep back her tears. He rubbed the back of her head gently, as she burried her head back into his chest.
"But.I just don't want everyone doing this all for me." She mubbled, burring her head deeper into his chest.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Their taking a long time just to get fire wood." Yahiko said. "I'm gonna go see if they need any help." He ran off over to the road.
"Be careful!" Kaoru yelled.
"Why do you think their taking so long?" Kenshin asked her.
Kaoru chuckled and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Well I dunno, maybe their not really collecting fire wood."
"Oro?" Kenshin asked.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yahiko ran towards the egde of the woods, he cuaght sight of Midori and Sanosuke, only to see them quite close. Which made him laugh so hard that he fell over. Which made them move quickly away from each other.
"You two just wanted to be alone!" Yahiko snickered. "I'm gald you two still have your clothes on." They both punched him quite hard, which shut him up for the moment.
"Well, it's gonna look strange if we go back with out wood." Midori said nervously straching her head as blushed a bit. "I'll go get some." She headed into the woods, Sanosuke and Yahiko following her.
"I'm coming too, I don't want you two doing anything." He said which got him a glare from the others.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all headed back to where they were before, without looking at eachother, with Yahiko trying to contian his fits of laughter, he suddenly brust out laughing, stupid kid, it just got him another hit from Midori and Sanosuke. Kenshin and Kaoru turned to see what the noise was.
"Looks like their back, how come you only got that little amount of wood."
"In that amount of time?" Kenshin asked, looking at Kaoru, causing them both to chuckle a bit.
"Oi! Urasai!" Sanosuke yelled.
"Heh, heh heh, you didn't see them in the woods." Yahiko said, snickering.
"C'mon! Stop that!" Midori said irated.
"Gomen, it just strange imanging you two together." Kaoru said yawning. "We should get to sleep now.
"Yeah, we should." Midori said, thorwing a blanket over her. "But what about the fire wood?"
"Well we know you didn't go to get that." Yahiko siad snickering.
"Urasai!" She said turning over. They all soon fell asleep, Midori smiled a bit , happy that he had retuned her feelings.
Notes: Gah, sucky (and a little sappy) last line. Yay, love scene- well sorta, any how please be nice and don't flame because Sano is with a charater I made up, it would be pretty pointless, considering I'm not gonna change the relationship. Anyway consrutive critism is welcome, please R+R!!!!!
