So does anyone think that Captain Sagara looks attractive? I sure do. But if any of you think that he looks attractive, you'll love Maoshi! =======================================================================

After five days, Kaosi was finally up on her feet again and doing just fine. Just in time too, because today was the day that Maoshi would be returning from Tokyo.

Kaosi woke up before the sun came up and went outside to wait for Maoshi. He usually got back from his trips early in the morning because he liked to travel during the night. But by the time it was three in the afternoon, Maoshi and his men still had not arrived and Kaosi began to worry.

"Raoki, where to you think he is?"

"I don't know Kaosi, if he doesn't come back tonight, then we'll send out someone on a horse to search for them."

"Can I search for him?"

"Absolutely not. Now help me chop this would." Raoki handed her an axe, but she refused to take it and used her sword instead. Before she could start working, a villager came running towards them with urgent news.

"Hey Raoki! Kaosi! They're here!"

"They are?! Great!!" Kaosi said excitedly.

Kaosi stopped what she was doing and ran to the village where Maoshi and his men were just now arriving. Maoshi was just entering the village and he looked like he was in perfect shape. He laughed as some of the other men talked to him. Kaosi rushed passed all of them and to Maoshi.

"Kaosi! There's my girl!" He opened his arms wide and Kaosi jumped into them, knocking the wind out of him a little bit.

"How was your trip Maoshi! I missed you!"

"It was great, and I brought you something back from Tokyo." Maoshi smiled at her. Kaosi let go of him, and he finished speaking with everyone in the village. An hour later, he met Kaosi and Raoki in his home.

"Well guys, sounds like you had some trouble on your hands while I was gone." Maoshi said.

"Nah, we handled those sumos without that much trouble." Kaosi flaked.

"From what I heard, you were seriously injured Kaosi." Maoshi said. Kaosi frowned, she didn't want him to find out about that.

"Yes we did have trouble with those sumos." Raoki said purposely towards Kaosi. "But since the government was after them as well, I was able to get money for bringing them in. The government wanted them either dead or alive."

"Well, my trip was not as exciting as yours." Maoshi said, collapsing onto his bed. "But I am exhausted from it."

"You should get some rest Maoshi." Kaosi said. "I'll make you some dinner."

"Thanks Kaosi, that'd be great." Kaosi and Raoki left him and he quickly fell asleep. =======================================================================
