Forgotten Memories

Chapter 5: Memory

Soujiro: what am I going here? Shadw: since you're not in the story you'll open for us. Disclaimer please, Soujiro. Soujiro: Shadw does not own RK or the characters. She does however own Rei, Tenka, Tye, and the story idea. She doesn't care if you use them.

Kenshin looked around. " Where's Aoshi?" Kenshin asked. " Don't worry he just trying to gather information on Kaoru's kidnapper," Misao replied. " Well enough about this, come inside everyone dinner will be ready soon," Okina said smiling. Everyone walked inside.

Misao and Megumi talked and made dinner. While everyone was eating Aoshi walked in. " Hello Lord Aoshi," Misao said while giving him some dinner. " Thanks Misao, I have gotten some information on the man for you Himura," Aoshi said. " I really hope my friends are alright," Kaoru said to herself.

She was getting ready to go to bed. " I want to see them, to remember them," she told herself. She sat on the bed thinking about her friends. " So what information do you have Aoshi?" Yahiko asked finishing his dinner. Aoshi took a deep breath.

" Well Himura it seems that Tenka is the brother of someone you accidentally killed," Aoshi said pulling something from his pocket. " You mean Shishio," Kenshin said wide-eyed. Aoshi nodded" that's right." Then Kenshin noticed the item in Aoshi's hand. " What's that in your hand?" Kenshin asked pointing to the object.

Aoshi looked at the item in his hand. " I don't know," he said tossing the item to Kenshin. Kenshin caught it and looked at it carefully. He caressed the bracelet in his hand carefully, and then he noticed an inscription on the inside. " Everyone has a purpose," it said. " This. this belongs to Kaoru," Kenshin whispered.

Flash Back

" Kenshin, where are you!" Kaoru yelled from the dojo. " I'm over here doing laundry Miss. Kaoru!" Kenshin yelled answering her question. She ran over to him. " Hi Kenshin," she said smiling. " Hello Miss. Kaoru," he said also smiling.

Then he noticed something on her wrist. " What's that?" he asked pointing to the object. She looked at her wrist and smiled even more. " God how I love it when she smiles," Kenshin thought to himself. " It's a bracelet that my father gave me on my 5th birthday," she said fingering the item.

" It looks very nice, that it does," Kenshin said finishing the laundry. " Yea, it has an inscription too, it says that everyone has a purpose," she said looking at Kenshin. After a moment of silence Kaoru spoke up. " Kenshin?" she asked. " Hmm," Kenshin said looking at her.

" Do you believe that?" she asked innocently. " I don't really know," he said shrugging. " Oh, well I do and I think we'll all find our purpose soon. Kenshin smiled as she walked away.
End of Flash Back

" Hey well I'm full," Sano said biting on his fishbone. Everyone got up and walked out of the dining hall. " Hey everyone be careful, since Misao cooked I can't guarantee you'll live," Okina said in a joking manner. Then everyone heard a thud. When they looked back Okina was on the floor with Misao standing over him.

" I'm not that bad a cook and you forgot that Megumi helped me!" she yelled. Everyone laughed a bit except Saitou. " Just like at the dojo," Kenshin though to himself. " Well it's late so I suggest we should be going to bed," Sano said. " By the way Himura, Misao and I will be accompanying you," Aoshi said standing.

" That reminds me, Aoshi, Saitou did you find out exactly where the mansion is?" Kenshin asked. They both shook their heads no. " What, how are we suppose to find her then?!" Yahiko yelled in a questioning manor. " We'll just ask around," Kenshin said siting down. " Great, first we have to take the rooster and the brat, now we have to take the weasel too, Battousai I don't think you'll ever get your raccoon girl back," Saitou said smirking.

Kenshin shot him a death glare. " Shut up Saitou, it's not exactly a picnic for us," Misao yelled. " I'm going to bed," Kenshin said leaving the room. He was really mad. He knew he would hurt Saitou if he didn't leave so he did.

Saitou always seemed to bring the worst out in him. " Kaoru can I sleep in your room tonight?" Rei asked coming in the room. " You have to ask your father, I don't mind though," she replied smiling. Rei ran to her dad's room. " Daddy can I sleep in Kaoru's room tonight?" Rei asked in her most innocent voice.

" No, why don't you let her sleep in her room alone tonight," he said smiling. " Alright," she said yawning. He picked her up and took her to bed. After she was asleep he went to talk to Kaoru.
