Chapter 2-Welcoming a stranger
Misao slowly slumped to the ground
"Don't you dare do that again Tenken."
"Sorry Makimachi-san."
"You can call me Misao."
"Then you can call me Soujirou."
"I-
"MISAO-CHAN!!!"
Misao jumped up in surprise.
"There you are Misao-chan! And who is that adorable boy?!"
"Okon.Omasu.H-
"You never told us you had a boyfriend! Have you been hiding him from us?" both Okon and Omasu had amused looks on their faces.
"But-
"You don't have to be shy about it-
"OKON! OMASU! HE'S THE TENKEN!"
"I-iie I'm just a rurouni now."
"Well Tenken or not we aren't just going to leave him out here in the rain now are we? Please come inside." Okon gestured to the Aoiya.
"Well, that's very kind of you but if Misao-san doesn't-
"Oh but we insist!" Okon and Omasu both dragged Misao and Soujirou into the Aoiya.
Soujirou looked at his surroundings. Such a cozy place. He couldn't belive that the Juppon Gatana had once destroyed it.
"Okina!"
"Hai, hai. Have you found my little Misao-chan?"
"I'm seventeen dammit."
"Misao! And you must be the former Tenken no Soujirou."
"Yes. How did you kn-
"Your friends informed me. I think their names were Cho and Kamatari."
"Cho? Kamatari?"
"I do belive they've hitched up now. *wink wink*"
"Ewwwww! Jiya!"
"What?!"
Soujirou could only smile.
"Anyway Seta-san is welcome to stay here until the rain stops."
"Thank you.um."
"Okina. Please just call me Okina."
"Thank you.Okina-san."
Okon and Omasu pointed down the hall. "Please, this way. We'll show you the room that you may use during your stay."
Soujirou only smiled and followed.
"But he's the Tenken!"
"Misao, Soujirou has had a hard life without any kindness or warmth. The least we can do is give him a place to stay."
"He and the Juppon Gatana destroyed the Aoiya!"
"It was not his doing. It was Shishio's. Before Himura-san taught him the truth and showed the faults and crimes he had commited, Soujirou had been lost in Shishio's words 'The strong survive and the weak die.' "
"I know but."
Okina sighed. "Maybe, during his stay you will understand him a bit more than you do now." And with that he turned and walked away.

Author's Notes: *phew* Finally! I finished this chapter. I think it kinda sucks though. I sort of rushed and didn't have time to think. More chapters soon! P.S Sorry Okon and Omasu are kind of well.forward?
