Chapter 4: Let go!
~*~
Kenshin woke up early the next morning, before everyone else, and prepared to leave. He really didn't want to argue with Sanosuke.
Though Kenshin knew that as soon as Sanosuke finds out the Kenshin wasn't planning on bringing him with, he would be furious. Making sure to leave a note Kenshin readied to leave.
He stepped outside the house to come face-to-face with Sanosuke. "Sano? What are you doing up so early?" he asked.
"I'd be asking you the same question, Kenshin. You weren't planning on leaving, were you?" he asked.
Kenshin didn't answer; he just walked around Sanosuke and began down the road. Sanosuke was bound to stop him but he didn't care; he would leave no matter what. But Sanosuke did just what he expected.
Sanosuke grabbed Kenshin by the collar.
"Let go." Kenshin ordered softly.
"No."
"You can't stop me, Sano."
"You're not going there alone! You'll get yourself killed!"
Kenshin turned to look at him. "Sano, I know what I'm doing now let go off me!"
Kenshin's eyes had a glint of amber in them that told Sano messing with Kenshin right now was not the best idea. He let go of the kimono. Kenshin slowly turned and started in a fast pace out of town.
Kenshin suddenly stopped and turned; his cheery smile had returned. "Either stay here until I return or go back to Yahiko, Sano!" he called. Sano nodded and watched Kenshin turn again and head off.
~*~
Yahiko had fallen asleep after over ten hours of pacing around the room, much to everyone's relief. They knew that he was uncomfortable; anyone could tell by looking at him, not only had he fallen asleep in an odd position that was sure to hurt his back but he even looked worried in his sleep.
He had a good reason, though, three of the four members of the Kamiya dojo were missing and possibly in danger and he couldn't do a damned thing about it.
He felt really bad about not being able to tell that Kenshin wasn't telling the truth and just over looking it. He felt worse when Sanosuke rubbed it in but of course he wouldn't show that.
When Sanosuke said he'd be back soon Yahiko had assumed that meant that he would be back later that night. But when he didn't come, Yahiko had a sinking feeling in his stomach that told him something had happened.
He really hated when he got that feeling. It made him feel weak because he knew something happened but he couldn't do anything about . . . except wait. He hated waiting even more! He always becomes restless quickly and then gets something like an anxious feeling that he can't push away.
That really bothered him!
He really hated those kinds of feelings. They annoyed the hell out of him and wouldn't let him rest for anything.
Suddenly, he felt someone's eyes on him and he snapped his own eyes open. The little girl, Ayame, who was watching him yelped and backed away slightly. Yahiko rubbed his eyes. "Don't do that, will ya?" he groaned, stretching. Ayame's chocolate brown eyes blinked and she quickly nodded then scurried away.
Yahiko shook his head and leaned against the wall behind him. 'I really do hope the others will come home soon. Wait! Home? Ha! That's a funny name for it- this place, Even though it is home for me.' he thought.
~*~
Sanosuke walked into Mokoto's house and sulked in the corner. He really hated when Kenshin go that amber glint in his eyes. It scared the living daylights out of him!
Well, it wasn't like he was going to admit it, but it seemed that Kenshin already knew considering it showed up when he needed it most. Sanosuke sighed.
'Looks like I'll be here for a while,' he thought to himself. He thought he was alone but what he didn't know was that Mokoto was standing in the doorway reading the note Kenshin left.
She lowered the note to look at him. "You see him leave?" she asked suddenly, breaking the long silence in the room. Sanosuke jumped to his feet and looked around. When he saw it was only Mokoto, he relaxed. "Yeah." He answered.
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"He gave me those eyes that said don't mess with him- and trust me if I would have tried any harder it wouldn't have been pretty!"
"But he seemed so nice! He wouldn't hurt someone."
"He IS nice. It's just that he is very worried about Kaoru and won't let anything get in his way."
"If he doesn't care for her then why does he act like that?"
"That's just it! I know he does care for her! But he just won't admit it! Every time Kaoru is in danger he gets like this- not only with Kaoru but also with all his friends! Although when it comes to Kaoru he won't even let friends get in his way. . . but he'd never hurt us."
"Oh."
Sanosuke closed his eyes and leaned his head on the wall behind him. 'Damn it, Kenshin! If you get yourself killed, I'll never forgive you! And I know Kaoru won't either!' he said mentally. 'Just come back safe . . . with Kaoru.' A smile spread across his face when he pictured those two together.
Mokoto observed Sanosuke carefully but curiously. Why was he smiling? What happened? Did she miss something here? Mokoto blinked her hazel eyes and walked out of the room to start breakfast, shaking her head.
~*~
Kaoru's eyes snapped open and blinked. She gazed around the room groggily. She swore she felt eyes on her but no one was in the room at all. Kaoru let her eyes adjust to the once again and not surprisingly dark room. She scanned her surroundings again but still found nothing. What was that feeling? Why did it feel so much like something or someone was watching me?
Suddenly, the door flung open and Sohjiro walked in. He still had that cheery smile on his face that made Kaoru scowl. Sohjiro gave her a questioning look when he saw her make a face. Kaoru looked away, clearly disgusted and certainly not trying to hide it. Sohjiro just kept smiling and set down a tray of food, already knowing for a fact that by the way she was looking she wasn't going to take it from him.
Kaoru glanced down at the food . . . she really was hungry. She looked up at Sohjiro and nodded thanks. With that, Sohjiro turned and walked out; he was definitely satisfied with the nod he had received.
~*~
Devilspet: YAY!! OVER!! Whew!! That took a long time!!
Kureno: I'll say!
Devilspet: Okay, then say it.
Kureno: *sighs and shakes head* Are you really that dense or do you just act that way?
Devilspet: WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??
Kureno: I don't know . . .
Devilspet: Fine! Be like that, then!
Kureno: Okay, I will!
Devilspet: Well, that's all for now . . .
Kureno: Ja ne!
Devilspet: Kureno . . . fix your language.
Kureno: Huh? Oh. I meant see ya later!
Devilspet: Please review!
