I wish to reach the expectations of my readers for this fic. I'm really trying… It's just that my mind is full of things…

As Sano rummaged the food in his hands, he sat down by the window of the kitchen and watched the calmness of the surroundings outside.

Man, how odd it has been since we all came together… He chuckled. My life has never been the same since I found that hell-pain-in-the-ass red head. However, it's not the same not because I now live a horrible life since he came… It's just that… I've changed. Well, not exactly everything changed but somehow, I know something changed.

I believe it was a good thing I that I took him out of the streets. Not exactly 'good' but I think it was better. And it has been both good and better for me since we got to know each other. I don't know if he told me the truth about his life but I know the part where his 'father' came was true, since his 'father' acknowledge him as 'son'.

My, my, my… It must have felt good when you were a child and you lived you childhood life with your parents… How much I envy them. I pity myself. I'm cursed with a life without memories and even parents and worst! Without foster parents or any relatives… He let out a sigh.

Right, all I remember was when I woke up from a river and many people buzzing around me…

Then again, it might have been better since I don't anybody to mourn for when they die and nobody to push me around… Yet, my life seemed so poor until those two pain-in-the-ass came. He chuckled again.

First of the two pain-in-the-asses is Kenshin. He cooks food. He washes dishes. He does laundry. He chuckled at that last thought. He even irons clothing. He cooks food… wait I've already said that. Hmm. He does the groceries. He cleans the house with a storm. He even calls his sleeping a very comfortable one and I call it drowsing.

Man, I made a 'note to self' that not to near him within six feet if he's sleeping! He even had the chance to kill me! Good thing I know how to box people. He made my life a life in heaven. Well, not exactly… you see there are always girls following him around and asking him question from his hair to his toes. I told him to woo them but… he never listens.

Second of the two pain-in-the-ass is Aoshi Shinomori. Man, I hope he's the last of his kind! He stares, nope, glares at me. He only talks to me when it comes to criticisms. He cooks too. He points everything that could kill me. He kills me with his death threats. Oh yeah, this is the best. He tries his new weapons on me!!!

He made my life a living hell!!! Wait, make than worst than hell itself! Well, even though he always tries to kill me… He's also fun to be with especially when it comes to criticizing other people… He chuckled.

I'm blabbering with my life yet again. He sighed.

I owe an eternity to those two…

---------------------------

Hmmm… Maybe I'll go for romance today. I've been reading those combats and adventures for the past months. Megumi thought as she paced her finger back and forth to the books on the shelf of the house's library.

She took out a paperback and read the summary on the back of it.

'A lovely scientist with no taste for magic…' huh? Magic. That sounds fun. 'Heiress Tabitha Lennox considered her paranormal talents more a curse that a gift. So she dedicated her life to the cold, rational world of science.' Hey. Who said science is cold?! 'Until the day she examined the mysterious amulet her mother had left her and found herself catapulted seven centuries into the past-herself catapulted into the path of a rearing black charger ridden by a chain-mailed warrior.'

Seven centuries?! Man, I'd die if I were to live in the past… I can't even picture myself wearing those old gis and hakamas. No way… Wow. A knight in shining armor… I wish I had one. This seems to a be a rather interesting book… She looked at the paperback again. Oh, there's more…

'A fearless knight with no time for love.' Now, that's a god. 'Sir Colin of Ravenshaw had returned from the Crusades to find his castle in ruins, his enemy poised to overrun the land where generations Of Ravenshaws had ruled.' A KING!!!

'The last thing he expected was to half trample a damsel with odd garb and even odder manners. But it is her strange talent that will create trouble beyond Colin's wildest imaginings. For everyone knows that a witch must be burned… but it is Colin's heart that is aflame, over an enchanting woman he must not love, yet cannot live without.'

Aaaaw. That's so sweet. Right then! I'll take this one and sit… She looked around and found a place near a window. She hurriedly walked, with poise, to the table and slid into the chair. She opened the book and started reading the first word of the first sentence of the first paragraph of the first chapter.

She finished the book quite hurriedly. She flips the page when she sees no romance and action just plain talking. She stared at the book and placed it down. She stared at the beautiful scenery of the trees' leaves swaying.

What an enchanted world she lived in. I wish I could be like her… travel through time and find the one I will love forever… She sighed quite desperately. I'm twenty! For goodness' sake! I need to find a husband!

It's all that bitch's fault Misao and I can't find suitable ones! She always gets the men's attention and leaves us none. ARGH!!!

But… Sano doesn't seem to be… I wonder if he likes me… What the hell?!

I need to clear my mind! Hell's Bells! I'm a scientist and a doctor not a psycho therapist!

The three of them did made me laugh and smile… Even though they are what they are… they seem to still have time for fun and everything…

I guess I owe an eternity to them.

---------------------------

In the main hall… Misao paced back and forth within the building… She seemed so amazed by the construction of the whole house. She studied every corners and every furnitures if the hall. There were beautiful paintings of landscapes and the oceans.

There must be some beautiful scenery near by. Misao thought as she was obviously amazed by the different contrasts of the paintings.

I wish I could meet someone romantic to take me to romantic places and do romantic things… She blushed at that. Erm… Anyways, I hate that woman… If she wasn't always on the way of Megumi and me… We should've had Boyfriends centuries ago!!!

I may act resembling a tomboy but I am still a woman, right? And I still can pursue any man I want.

She moved towards the windows and stared at the lake outside.

Remind me again how I got caught up with this work? She sighed. Oh yeah, I wanted too much adventures… and when I reached the age of seven I dreamt of becoming a secret agent or something close… And when I turned twelve, I learn how to fight and act…

Now that I'm eighteen and have this job… Can I say it's a fulfillment of a dream come true??? Or maybe is this what I was destined for??? Is this what I've planned for my future? Is this my greatest dream? No, I guess not my greatest dream…

For my greatest dream is to become a wife and have children of my own… To have a husband that I love and would always love me back… In other words… A family of my own…

And now… I somehow feel 'something wonderful' is about to happen… Something that would fulfill our dreams… I've never felt anything like this before… I believe this feeling once I felt it… but I wonder why.

I trust my sense since it never failed me but… I'm doubting it now. For I have no clue what this feeling of 'Something Wonderful' is all about.

I wonder if it has to do with those three…?

Well then… I ought to owe them an eternity.

Aoshi stared at the beautiful sky above him. He looked like he was trying to reach the sky with his eyes and thoughts that could kill you in an instant you read them.

He had his hands on his pockets and his coat was flying with the wind on his back. His hair was all messy because of the air's blowing pressure. His shirt was somewhat flying showing some of that ooooooh-la-la body of his.

He chuckled once in a while. He seemed to be reviving old good memories. He smiled a little and shook his head. He bowed his head and glanced at his sides. He shrugged and walked away.

---------------------------

"So, are there any other borders at the time?"

"Yes, Miss. There are quite a lot of them actually. They're all in one group."

"Thank you. That will be all."

"The pleasure is mine, Miss."

---------------------------

Kenshin stands on the grounds of the garden. He stood by the end of the lake. He stared at the ripples and waves that the water makes. He seemed to be in deep thinking. His face was completely blank… and he stood there like a post waiting to be lit by anybody.

The cold wind passed through his body and gently lifting his hair. The ribbon which was holding his hair dropped on the ground and left his hair flowing.

"My, my, my. What a lovely red haired!"

Kenshin looked up and he unconsciously smiled.

Have I reached you expectations???

"Thanks for not reading my mind." Aoshi whispered.

"Anything for you darling." Hoshi answered.

"Darling?! WHY I OUGHTA---!!!" Misao… ehehehe

"Don't be outraged Misao. I'll only have him for a fortnight. You can  have him after." Hoshi sneered and started massaging Aoshi's chest.

"ARGH!!! I'm leaving!!!"

It wasn't supposed to be funny. My friend recommended it. I only did that part because he insisted.

I received 11 reviews and 7 e-mails. EIGHTEEN!!! YAY!!!

REVIEWS!!!!!
