After all the guests had left, Kenshin helped Kaoru clean up the mess.
" Kenshin," sai Kaoru in a worried voice," Shouldn't Yahiko have been home by now?"
"Yes, but remember he did walk Tsubame home."
" Aww he did? How sweet!"
"He'll be home soon. Just be patient."
Soon 2 hours had passed.
"Kenshin, should you go look for him? Maybe he got lost..."
"I don't think he's lost. Probably still at the Akabeko. But he really should come back. He needs sleep."
"I'll come with you!"
"No Kaoru-Dono. In case he comes back, stay here."
"Alright Kenshin. But hurry." He flashed her a rurouni smile and ran down the path. He decided to take a shortcut through the woods, knowing if Yahiko was coming back this late he'd probably be trying to get home as soon as possible. He could just imagine the greeting Yahiko would recieve from Kaoru. Chuckling to himself he continued on. // Oh dear,// Kenshin thought,//he must still be at the Akabeko. I'd hate to be Yahiko when he gets home// But strangely, the Akabeko was dark. Kenshin knocked softly, and a few secnds later a sleepy looking Tae answered the door.
"Sorry to bother you so late Tae-Dono, but I came to pick up Yahiko."
"Yahiko? He's here?"
"Yes, he walked Tsubame-Chan home."
"Tsubame? Oh." She looked at Tsubame's closed door. "Uh-Oh!"
The two adults raced up the stairs and threw open Tsubame's door.
"What are you doing," Tsubame cried as the 2 adults ran in. The room was devoid of people, except for a very startled Tsubame.
"Oro? Isn't Yahiko with you?"
"No," replied Tsubame, "he went home about 2 hours ago."
Tsubame and Tae caught a worried look in the former Battousai's eyes.
"Well," he said,"I'd best be going. Good night."
"Good night," the women echoed. But Tsubame couldn't stop thinking. //What has happened to Yahiko?//
Kenshin went down the main road this time, looking and calling for Yahiko. But no answering response, nothing. Now Kenshin was really worried. Yahiko meant a lot to him and he didn't want anything to happen to him.
Continuing on the well worn path, Kenshin noticed something. In a spot under a tall looming tree, the ground appeared scuffed, as though a fight had happened. But then, Kenshin noticed a familiar looking object.
His heart seemed to stop, seeing Yahiko's shinai laying abandoned beside the path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N hello everyone! What did you think? I promise to update soon! I think I'd better let you all in on something
When I first started to write fanfics, it was right after RK was taken of cartoon network and just put on saturday nights (which are now season 1 episodes... grrrrrrrrrrr) So in this story, as I wasn't sure of all the facts, Tsubame and Tae live at Akabeko. There are also a few mistakes later on but it'll all make sense. after all, it IS a fanfic! :)
Alright, enough w/ me, time to write more! oh yeah! plzz review!
