The sun shone very brightly, which woke up everyone from their sleep,
all though it was later than they had all planned on getting up.
"I'm hungry." Midori said as she stretched as she pushed her self slowly off the ground. "I'm gonna go catch some fish in the nearby pond." Midori grabbed two fishing poles, she handed the other one to Yahiko. "Okay, you can fish too! Just fish somewhere else and don't bug me!" Yahiko argued with Midori, but she some how convinced him to help her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori squinted up at the bright sun and sighed sat down on the slightly damp riverbank. "Oh crap! The ground is all damp, ahhh.oh well." Midori said sighing. She threw down her fishing pole, and lay back on the soft, tall grass, and looked at the clouds passing swiftly above her. "I think were near Turo's now." She picked up a white feather that was lying in the ground, she rubbed across her face and sighed. " I want to run away.but I'd feel so guilty if I did.but I feel so guilty staying here.are some people just meant to feel like this all the time? Naze? Why is the world this way? Humans really are so strange . " She drifted off into other thoughts like this, forgetting about everything, almost drifting into sleep. But something soon interrupted her train of thought..
"Midori.?" A woman asked.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yahiko sighed as he walked over back over to the rest of the kenshin gumi, to see Kaoru and Kenshin teasing Sanosuke about Midori, he was telling them off as he blushed a little, turning his to hide the blush, but Yahiko didn't see Midori. "She's taking a long time." He thought to himself
"Oh hey Yahiko!" Kaoru yelled and wave as she saw Yahiko. "Aww.you only got two fish? Well hopefully Midori will get more, by the way, did you see Midori?"
"No.She's probably just having hard time fishing or something." Yahiko said, he handed the fish to Kenshin who had started a small fire, and he began to cook the fish. It was not too long before Midori came along, but there was a tall, rather thin woman following her, she had small brown eyes, her long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, she had somewhat pale skin and she seemed to be in her mid- forties. She it looked like she was getting along with Midori, so they didn't have to worry.
"Ohayo Minna!" Midori yelled fairly cheerfully and waved as she ran towards them, receiving a wave from everyone else.
"Who's that?" Sanosuke asked pointing at the woman behind her.
"Oh this is Aya, she's my old Sensei's wife, she also knows some fighting skills and she's a doctor! She quite talented." Midori said smiling a little.
"Midori.I'm not that great." Aya said shyly. Midori introduced her to everyone to Aya, she said they could all come stay with her and her husband for a while. They all happily agreed, knowing they should rest before they went off to face Turo.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was getting to be late after noon, and the sun was still shinning brightly when they reached Midori's old teacher's house. It was a normal sized house with a large garden outside of it, and it was just outside of town. Aya ran ahead of them, and yelled to her husband, she motioned for them to come along. They were a little hesitant, but Midori got them to come along. Midori bowed towards Aya and the man when she entered the room.
"Konchiwa, Koutorua-Sensei." She said politely.
"Konchiwa, Midori." The man responded, he looked to be around Aya's age, he had somewhat long black hair, he wasn't much taller than his wife, and he was quite muscular. "So these are all the people that are staying here tonight? The battosoui...well that's odd." He said looking over at Kenshin. :Any how, is that guy your boyfriend Midori?" He asked pointing at Sanosuke, she was standing quite close to him.
"Well ummm." She starched her head as her cheeks turned a little pink, turning her head in the other direction.
Koutorua laughed. "Its okay Midori, you don't have to admit it, I know your shy." Midori looked even more embarrassed, Sanosuke looked a little embarrassed too.
"Oh quit that Koutorua!" Aya said.
"Oh Midori knows I'm joking." Koutorua said still chuckling. Aya went off to prepare dinner for everyone, she figured she'd start it as early as possible. Koutorua sat down to talk with everyone. "So, what exactly are the Battosoui, some kid, a punk and girl doing with Midori?"
"Well their all going to help me fight Turo." Midori said timidly.
Koutorua heaved a large sigh. "I see, it's gonna be tough you know.Turo's not baka, he's also very strong."
"I've told them that! They still want to help me!" Midori said standing up.
"Hmmm, well gonna warn you all, he's a dangerous guy." He said grimly, leaning back in his chair, slowly back in chair, looking around at everyone in the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all ate the dinner quietly and slowly, Midori and Yahiko were tried after dinner, and so they both took baths, and went to be right after, falling asleep not soon after they lay down. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sanosuke looked over at the peacefully sleeping girl. She seemed to be feeling all right at the moment. He smiled a bit, glad to see her feeling somewhat better than she had been in the last week or so.
Koutorua grinned at him Sanosuke watching Midori. "It seems you two really a couple."
"NANI?" Sanosuke asked, sounding a slightly irked.
"Oh nothing." He said snickering. Everyone soon got quite sleepy, so they got out some extra futons and blankets, and placed near Yahiko and Midori, and they were all soon asleep, with many things on there minds.
Notes- ya, not much to say - pretty boring chapter - the next is more exciting though. PLEASE REVIEW!
