Chapter 6:
"Okay Kenshin.when will the wedding be?"
"I don't know. You can decide."
"You're making me do all the work?"
"I don't know a thing when it comes to these sorts of things, that I don't." She sighed.
"I know Tae-san can help me!"
"That's a great idea."
"I'll have to go over there when she's not working. Now who to invite?" She pulled out the ink spotted list from a couple nights before. Kenshin looked at it and raised an eyebrow. "Nani?"
"I can't read it." She glared at him.
"What has Kaoru written in her famous chicken scratch again?"
"Yahiko! It got ink spilled on it, that's all."
"Oh." He rolled his eyes. She grabbed the list from Kenshin.
"Here I'll read the list to you. Okay let's see.Tae-san, Tsubame- chan, Dr. Gensai and Ayame and Suzume, Sir Okina, Misao, Aoshi, and the rest of the Oniwaban in Kyoto, your Master Hiko.."
"He won't come, that he won't."
"We should still send him an invitation though.as I was saying.Sir Yamagata and the Chief.I would invite Yutaro, demo he's all the way in Germany."
"Ewww why would you invite him?"
"He's one of my students or used to be. Plus, Yahiko I know how close you two are." Yahiko rolled his eyes.he didn't deny his friendship. Kaoru smiled. "Now who else.oh yeah Miss Megumi in Aizu.haven't seen her in awhile.how about Saito Hajime?" She smirked, knowing she'd get a reaction from mentioning his name.
"I don't know." Kenshin said wearily.
"I'll send one to him as well then..and oh." Kaoru's face dropped.
"What's wrong Kaoru-dono?"
"Oh.I just wish." Kenshin looked at her worried. "Sanosuke.." Kenshin knew she would come to his name and have to cross through it. They didn't know where he had gone after he was chased out of Japan by the police. He just left in an instant without an explanation; he said he wanted to explore the world.
"It's okay.you know Sano.I bet he's doing just fine."
"Yeah Rooster head is probably freeloading off of someone else." Yahiko chimed in.
"Yeah, but I wish he were freeloading off of me." Kenshin smiled. "Nani?"
"Oh well.when he was here you couldn't stand it, demo now."
"Yeah I know." She smiled, wiping a few tears from her eyes. "I just wish he could be here." Kenshin just nodded and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"So is there anyone else?"
"Nope, can you think of anyone else?"
"Oh how about Sano's friend, Katsu? Maybe he has heard from him?"
"Maybe, Yahiko, demo I don't think he's around here anymore."
"Oh well it was worth a shot, ne?" Kaoru grinned and tugged at his hair. "Oi! Cut that out!"
"Arigato."
"For what?" He said brashly.
"For trying to think up a way to get Sanosuke back here." He just nodded his head in reply.
"So what are we having for dinner, Kenshin?"
"Actually, Yahiko, Kaoru-dono is going to make dinner tonight so I don't know."
"See ya!"
"Hey where are you going?"
"The Akebeko."
"No way! You little twirp! Get back here!" It was too late he was already out the door. "I give up. I admit my cooking stinks, demo he doesn't have to rub it in my face." She pouted.
"I don't think it's bad."
"You're lying to make me feel better." Kaoru gave him a glare.
"Now would I lie to my wife?" She clasped her hand over her mouth; he had called her something other than Kaoru-dono.
"Arigato." She said as she smirked. "Say it again."
"Nani?"
"What you called me."
"Kaoru-dono-"
"No, not that." He realized what she meant.
"My wife?"
"Uh.huh."
"My wife." He moved closer to her ear and whispered, "My love."
