A group of rather unhappy looking people were thundering down the road.
"I can't belive he's left with out us!" Midori said angrily, looking toward her friends.
"Yeah I know! I have to say I'm not surprised though." Yahiko said.
"Nnn-hnn." Midori said, nodding.
They continued to run for a while, complaining about Kenshin here and there, Kaoru was complaining a little too, but she seemed a little less angry than the others, and a little sad.
"We have got to get to Kenshin before he gets to Turo's!" Midori yelled, quickening her pace.
"Yeah! He's gonna be sorry when he's sees us!" Yahiko said seriously.
Midori chuckled. "I don't think a boy-chan like you could hurt Kenshin at all." Midori teased.
"Urasai!" He yelled toward her. She stuck out her tounge at him and pulled down her eye-lid.
"Your just as bad as him Midori." Sanosuke said, smirking.
"AM NOT!" She yelled, sounding iratated, as she glared at him, she then looked back ahead of her..seeing someone about one fifty yards ahead of them. "Is that him?"
"Yeah! It's is." Yahiko said angrily, running towards the man, Midori, Sanosuke and Kaoru close behind.
The man turned around to see where the noise was coming from. "Oro?" He asked in rather high picthed-voice. (Well high pitched for a man.) Sooner than than he knew it, he got a punch, a kick and hit over the head with a wooden sword, by his fuming friends. Yet the girl with the dark blue hair wasn't fuming, just sad.
"Orrrooooo..." Kenshin said falling over.
"What do you think you were doing? Just goin' off like that?!?" Yahiko asked.
"Yeah really?!?"Sanosuke said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Do you really think we'd just let you leave without us?" Midori asked.
"Gomenasai!" Kenshin said, as he got back up, looking at his glaring friends, he then looked over to Kaoru.
"Well I'm glad we caught up with you before you left." Kaoru said smiling at him a little, getting an affectionate smile back.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Turo leaned back in his chair sighing a bit. He looked around his room, stopping at a single marble on his shelf. He sank deeper into his chair, sighing, in an odd, almost sad way.
--------------------------------
A little girl yanked on the bottom of a young man's shirt.
"Hai?" A young man responed, as he looked down at her.
"I have a question." She said.
"Well, go ahead and ask." He said calmly.
"Can I call you papa instead of Turo?" She asked.
"If you want to Rayeka." He said, looking a little surprised.
"Well I really fell like you're my Papa." She said putting her little arms around him. He hugged her back, smiling a little, she sort of felt like a duaghter to him. She ran off happily to go play again, but she fell over her own feet. Turo helped her up, she looked up a him with couldy eyes that couldn't see.
"C'mon let's get something to eat." He said taking her hand.
"Okay Papa!" She said smiling.
--------------------------
Turo heaved a sigh, and looked up at the cealing. "Why am I thinking of this all of the sudden? He moved his head down again, starring blankly at the front of the room.
---------------------------
"Rayeka? It's time for bed! Rayeka!" Turo yelled as he searched around his small house, unable to find the little girl. "Maybe she went outside.." He said himslef. So he slowly went over to the door and opened it, looking to see if Rayeka was nearby. He saw her across the street, crouched over by a building, it seemed like she was playing. "Rayeka! Next time you want to go outside and play, tell me before you go out!" She didn't respond, so she headed over to her, hearing her cough, she didn't seem to be moving at all. "Rayeka, what's wrong?" He asked, crouching down beside her.
"Sometimes I get sick." She said between coughs, barely audiable to him in the frist place.
"What does that mean? I never seen you like this!" He said with concren in his voice.
She coughed again, turning her blind eyes toward him. "Papa, I can't move."
"It's alright! I'll take you to the doctor's right now!" Turo said picking up the frail little girl, and he ran off as quickly as he could.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So how is she?" Turo asked looking a the sleeping Rayeka.
"Not very good..she's been blind and sick since she was a child, I belive the sickness is an on and of thing. But I've heard she's been this way since was born. Her parents abandoned her, and she's been in this town ever since, this town is very poor, so no could take her in, but we all tried to take care of her as best we could. I've tried to cure her, but I couldn't, I have no idea what's wrong with her. Then you came along , almost a year ago, and she's happier than's she ever been, and even a little better, but I guess this diease has just caught up on her." The doctor said sounding a little sad.
Turo looked down at her, thrashing and sobbing in her sleep. "She doesn't have much longer does she?"
The doctor shook his head, looking sad.
"She was kind of like a daughter to me.." Turo said driffting off.
"Papa?" Rayeka asked weakly.
"Hai Rayeka?" Turo asked.
"Here I want you to have this.." She said opening her fist, to reveal a small round object. It was a marble. He gently took it from her hand. "Papa..I feel bad." She said ,stummbling towards Turo, putting her arms around him. He hugged her back, listening to her breathing getting slower and slower until it stopped.the doctor checked her pluse, and looked at Turo sadly, he just brought the girl's cold body close to him, and began to sob.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Turo heard a knock on the door. "Come in." He said quietly. Hoshi entered, Kubo right behind her, she looked a him seeming distant, she knew there had to be something wrong, because she never saw him like this.
"Turo-Sama, are you alright?" She asked quietly.
"Of course." He said in his normal smug, cold tone.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Is this the palce?" Kenshin asked, looking over at Midori.
"Yeah.." Midori said quietly, as she looked up at the large european-styled house. She heard Sanosuke mubbled something about how hated westerners, and the rich. She stepped back, afaird to enter the house, she just stood there for a while, but notice her friends were ahead of her, so she ran back over to them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hoshi glanced out the window, only to see two girls, a young boy, and two men. She pressed her self up agaisnt the window to see who it was..she glared when she reconized who they were. "Kubo! Midori and her friends are here! C'mon we've gotta go hold them off!" She yelled as grabbed her sword, dashing down a large flight of stairs, with Kubo right behind her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Midori followed behind the Kenshin-gumi slowly, into to Turo's large house.The door was opened Midori knew Turo and his minions knew that they were going to come, and that would mean that Turo and his minions were prepared....and they were already dangerous. She inhaled sharply, seeming a little nervous, but she tried to brush it off.
"So, you really do want that scripture don't you?" A girl's voice asked.
"Who's there?" Midori growled.
"Heh, only us." The girl said coming out of the shadows, a boy behind her.
"So, you ready to fight Hoshi?" The boy asked seriously.
"Yeah." She responded nodding.
"Looks like we'll have to get thourgh all Turo's minions before we get to him. So, Kaoru-san, Yahiko and I will deal with these two, and Kenshin and Sanosuke can go ahead, and we'll catch up later, alright?" Midori asked looking around at everyone, they all nodded. Sanosuke and Kenshin ran swiftly behind Hoshi and Kubo and up the stair case. Sanosuke yelled something to Midori about not getting her slef hurt, cuasing her to blush a little.
Kaoru wacthed Kenshin and Sanosuke go thourgh a door, although she was pretty much only focused on Kenshin. "Don't get hurt, Kenshin." She thought to her self, looking sad, she starred at the door for a while until Yahiko yelled at her, making her temporairly take her mind of Kenshin. They all faced their foes and they were at the start of the final battle.
Notes: Crappy ending! Oh well, poor Turo! And that's not all that happened to him, there is more, so that is why is a bastard, you'll have to read the later chapters to find out more about him. Any way, I'm all happy this story is so long, well long for me any way..I know people have written WAY more..Well WoOt! Please review! I'll love you if you do! -_-"
"I can't belive he's left with out us!" Midori said angrily, looking toward her friends.
"Yeah I know! I have to say I'm not surprised though." Yahiko said.
