______Chapter Six________
Misao was so excited the time she came home. She rushed past her parents, after a quick greeting, and into her room grabbing with her one of the maids. She was in such a hurry to get the kimono on and the obi straight to go meet Soujirou when he would come to pick her up. She didn't know what it was about this smiling new boy, but she knew that he was becoming very close to her, though she is not sure as just a friend or more.
"Makimachi-san, please stop fidgeting, I know it is long but please for the sake of it." The maid pleaded her nicely and most softly; this was one of her bosses. Misao sighed, she loved this maid dearly, almost like a neesan to her, and still she insisted on calling her by her surname and it was most annoying.
"Ruri-chan, onegai for your sake and mines, will you, for the last time, stop calling me by that name? We have known each other for years, you're like my neesan, so please?" Misao turned to do her famous little pout and instantly the maid shook out of it and held Misao in a hug.
"Sure thing little one. Okay now, turn around so I can finish your obi. By the way, what is the occasion, may I ask?" Ruri started small talk, good thing Misao thought of her as a neesan because she thought of her as an imoto. Ruri was a very loved maid, and was with the Makimachi family for 8 years or so, and she loved the family too. She was known for doing a lot of different types of chores from cleaning the tatami mats to tying the best obi there was. She loved dressing up Misao, it was the most cutest thing to see her after it was completed, to see Misao twirl repeatedly until she gets too dizzy.
"Oh, this? I was invited to dinner tonight with a new friend. Seta Soujirou, he should be around later to pick me up. Oh guess where's he taking me?" Misao beamed about her plans to Ruri. And Ruri guessed by the request of a kimono was only one restaurant she knew of.
"Yume restaurant?" Ruri said taking careful detail of her work, she wanted her supposedly imoto to have the best-looking kimono there. Misao groaned, slightly disappointed.
"How did you know? You ruined the surprise." She grumbled to Ruri. Ruri's reply was a sight, polite, giggle.
"Duh silly. I know of only one restaurant that requires a traditional outfit. So I assumed there." Misao joined in too, finally noticing her mistake.
"Well, a few while more, and I'll be done." Ruri said after Misao was busying herself with a book.
"Right, right." Minutes had passed and their conversation had gone down; Misao stood still enough for Ruri to complete her outfit while she read a book assigned for etiquette class.

Soujirou had gotten home by walking, he decided a crisp, and nice walk was what he needed to gather his thoughts. He may seem cool and calm most of the time, but it takes time to get there. If it weren't for that one night in his past he wouldn't be the way he is. He would unthinkably shout out the first thing in his mind without thought, and end up in trouble. But now, he thinks, very fast, before he acts.
"I don't want to think of such a night ever again..." Soujirou whispered, as if he was talking to the wind that blew gently against his face ruffling his hair a bit.
He loved this new place he was living in now, nice neighborhood, nice friends, nice everything. He even got to see his old training partner, Kenshin. He also had a chance to meet the only love of his dreams. Makimachi Misao. He was glad that she didn't say no to his offer, whether she knew of it as a date or not, he was still glad.
"Welcome home Mr. Soujirou." His bodyguards at the front door greeted him. He nodded a greeting and entered the house. And all at once a sudden blow to the head knocked him down.
"What the-" Soujirou was rubbing his head while trying to straighten out his view.
"Welcome home brat." His niisan had greeted him. Today was different, hell; everyday was a different greeting for Soujirou. He helped him up to his feet.
"I know I know, you're glad to see me. But sorry to say it, this'll be the last day you see me. I will be leaving for America tonight. I have to go over there so I can start spreading Father's enterprise."
"Shut up niisan. But I will miss you, but not your blows to the head. When will you departure?" Soujirou was shocked at how his voice stayed the polite tone. He hadn't meant to, maybe it has always been that way but up to this day he just noticed it.
"...I think around 9? I hope you do come see me off, no matter what you have planned tonight. You have to stop by, all right? Don't leave "yo' bro hanging"." His brother, seemingly caught hold of the language and even the slang. Soujirou snorted.
"Alright, I'll come. I might have a friend too, but I'll come." Soujirou went past his brother and up to his room to fish some possible yukatas to wear for the dinner.

Aoshi had seen Aki run up the steps and her shadows being thrown about inside her house seemed to stir some feelings inside him. What was happening to her? That was what he was thinking most of the time when he was meditating at the school. So his fight with Kenshin was no successful but at least he got the two a little closer than they were. So Kenshin slipped his words a bit, but Kamiya and Kaoru aren't the same pronunciation. Maybe Kenshin wanted to be able to call her that.
"Aoshi, stop daydreaming when I'm talking to you. What is it with that girl Minata-san and you?" Kaoru's voice finally registered itself in his brain.
"Oh, Aki? She's...her case I do not know of. But between you and me, she's very interesting to me." Aoshi said in a strict manner that to anyone else, it would've seen as nothing unusual but friends. But to Kaoru she knew better than to believe that stuff.
"So you like her? I knew my suspicions were correct." She waited for denies but non-came, so Aoshi was in love, wonder why? Aki was beautiful, way beyond beautiful but she never talks much, at least not to people, and she hides herself all the time as if scared of something or someone.
"So...I come to my own conclusions of your crush on Kenshin. It's very KAWAII." Aoshi made sure she heard his last words loud and clear.
"NANI??? KAWAII??? You must be kidding me." She blushed deep red and turned to look out the window.
"Shh.look there's my Tusbame-chan and Yahiko-kun." Aoshi said in a whisper and parked his car a little ways off so that none of the two saw it. Kaoru shut up instantly and was intently spying on them.
________________________________________
"Yahiko, um, it's almost been two whole weeks of our dating. So where would you like to celebrate our official two week date?" Tsubame asked playing with her short hair.
"Honto? Well I guess when you're not busy. I wouldn't miss it for the world." Yahiko said in his now deeper and older voice and dipped down to her pink lips and closed the space between the two fleshes and left it there for a good few seconds.
"Okay, I'll call you for more information alright, arigatou!" Tsubame ran off to her place. Yahiko waved stupidly after her and then after a few good minutes he gained back the will to move his body again and walked towards the nearest curb to call for a taxi, this kid wasn't joking, he uses the family's money to get around. Kaoru snorted at how her brother was so lazy, the mansion is just 8 blocks away.
"So, you think they make a good couple?" Kaoru asked timidly noticing how scrutinizing Aoshi was of her imoto.
"I think... they make a very good one indeed. A little too fast moving for my taste." Aoshi said as he started his car again to drive Kaoru home. Kaoru was thinking, how slow did Aoshi usually take it? He moved too slowly that the girls lose interest? Look at Misao, but since he did dump her, she has to, even if she doesn't want to.
"So when are you going to start moving to the next step of a relationship with Minata-san? She's very...pretty, and you're a perfect match for her. So?" Kaoru asked smiling. Aoshi was gulping, for the first time; he didn't know how to answer. But of course, he wouldn't let that show on his face of course.
"...We're almost there to your place so please make sure you won't forget anything." Aoshi politely informed her and Kaoru soon forgot about the fore mentioned subject.
"Thanks for the ride Aoshi, see you tomorrow!" Kaoru got off and ran straight into the opening gates and the open doors. Life was good, especially when you're rich, that is not true at all, no matter who agrees.

That had to be the worst experience for both Sano and Megumi that afternoon. They loved to bicker with each other; it keeps their independence alive. But doing it so just to amuse the teacher just wasn't fun anymore. Sano was very hungry by the time detention ended so he ended up being polite and offering to have an early dinner with Megumi, and she couldn't decline.
"This is great." Megumi smiled as she noticed the guy of her dreams is there in front of her, smiling like an angel.
"Well it's the best, and only the best can serve the best." He smirked and she started to join him in too. The food was great, the service was great, but what scared Sanosuke it most was that Megumi was great. He shivered thinking just that thought. Megumi noticed it very much.
"What's wrong, is it too cold? Want to trade spots then?" Megumi offered, lifting herself already out the chair. Sano shook his head no and just ate in silence, admiring Megumi as her eyes strayed from the table to the surroundings. Maybe Jou-chan is right, maybe all I need to do is give her a chance, and it just might work out.
"Check please!" Sano's voice made Megumi's head whoosh right back.
"We're already...leaving?" She asked, not wanting this perfect dinner to end, even if he didn't think it was a date.
"Yeah, I'm full. And you seem as you don't want to eat, so...why stay?" Sano left the bills on the table and got up and walked out and Megumi followed him, closer. Once they reached outside a fierce wind blew and knocked Sano's hair around a bit and Megumi's tresses were sent wildly into the air. Sano turned just in time to capture that rare moment, where his heart stop beating and his eyes were glued. Megumi looked as though she was a wind angel, swishing down just to watch over him as he walked home.
"What? I got something on my face?" Megumi's voice broke the beautiful image and Sano just turned around and began walking home. Megumi stood by herself for a while, not sure to follow or not.
"Are you coming or what?" Sano's voice reached her ears and she smiled catching up to the tall boy.
________________________________________
Kaoru had reached home and saw Yahiko in the practice room, sweating a lot. She thought about ignoring it, but then a sudden urge to teach filled her and she entered the room. She grabbed a nearby bokken, which was on the wall and walked towards Yahiko.
"I heard you got a girlfriend. I heard she's nice. I heard she's someone I know, but what I didn't know was why DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT HER???" Kaoru had strikes him on the head and he lie on the floor going from reality to dream world. He finally got his strength back and sat up.
"Busu, what was that for? So what? I have my own life you have yours. I don't remember you telling me you had a boyfriend. Or is it that you don't have one." Yahiko looked seriously in her eyes. Kaoru knew he had a point; she loved him so much that she thinks its best for him if she is his mother, but again, it'll never happen.
"Never mind. But if you go out on a date with her, or even meet her or anything just call and tell me or tell me the day earlier. Please, I don't want to be worried over such a brat like you." And Yahiko was on his feet swinging at her unbalanced, so she strikes him behind his knees and he buckled down and screamed out in pain and defeat.
________________________________________
"Is Misao here?" Soujirou's voice asked the maid. She nodded and Ruri opened the door wider to produce a beautiful Misao waiting in a kimono. Soujirou would've let his jaw drop but he knew it was a mistake to do so. Misao was gorgeous. Misao on the other hand let her thoughts and physical movements coincide. She let her mouth wide open.
"Soujirou, you look, handsome! That yukata is nice on you!" Misao rushed forward and immediately tripped, as she was not accustomed to the limited spacing and Soujirou was in front of her holding her up in an instant. Their faces were just inches apart. Ruri cleared her voice to state that they should be leaving.
"Oh, yes. Ready Misao?" Soujirou let go Misao, as much as he didn't want to and she nodded and both of them left after Misao gave a quick hug to Ruri.
"Misao, be careful now you here? Oh here, Kunais, keep them in case anybody tries to take advantage of you." Ruri handed 5 kunai and Misao thanked her as she hid them in her obi and followed after Soujirou who was oblivious to the two talking and exchanging items.
________________________________________
"Kenshin, go to Jou-chan's mansion and tell her something for me alright?" Sano's voice filtered through the telephone.
"What? To Kamiya-san's house? Why there? Why can't you go?" Kenshin asked.
"Because I'm stuck here. I need someone to do something for me, because I can't get back in time."
"Why can't I do it then?" Kenshin asked.
"Because you don't know about it. Kaoru does, no offense Kenshin. It's like a girl thing." Sano tried to explain without hurting his best bud feelings.
"Alright, what you need me to tell her?" Kenshin gave up, he would love doing anything involving Kaoru, but she doesn't, which is a set back.
"Tell her to pick something out for me and her best friend that likes me. Tell her I've decided to give a first date a try." Sano said.
"Okay, I got it. Where are you anyways?"
"I'm at my father's house, he's keeping me here for the night to test out my gambling skills, which I can beat him at, no lie, and mother is out with some girlfriends. So I'm stuck." Sano said betting some money on odd numbers, and he won. (The game was played in the anime; I forgot what's it called)
"Alright. I'll go over now and tell her the news ok." Kenshin hung up and asked a limo to be ready and he went downstairs after changing into loose baggy pants and a sweater that read on the front, 'You want to mess with me? Try another time, I'm busy'. He liked it a lot but only preferred to wear it when going out with friends rather than at school or with the parent.
________________________________________
The doorbell rang, and Kaoru sighed, she should've told one of the maids to stay awake with her to answer the doorbell but then she got her lazy self from the couch and placed her finger on the page she was reading and shuffled to the door. She was already in her nightclothes, ready for bed. She wasn't expecting anyone, maybe Sano but she really didn't care.
As Kenshin rang the doorbell a thought went through his mind, he should've called her instead of coming here, now she's going to say that too! She's probably asleep. Maybe I should leave now. As Kenshin stared to turn around the door opened revealing a porcelain Kaoru, with her yukata hanging off her, mostly inappropriate to answer a door with. She quickly realized the bright hair and covered her chest.
"What are you doing here?" Kaoru asked quickly.
"Nothing perverted! I mean, I- Sano told me to come over to tell you something important!" Kenshin stuttered for the right answer.
"What is it? Wait, come inside, it's too cold to be standing here in the doorway." Kaoru noted as she shivered and she went aside to allow Kenshin in and shut the door going to the couch, Kenshin followed.
"What is it now?" Kaoru asked again.
"Sano said, um he was stuck and he couldn't come over so he wanted me to tell you it." Kenshin started trying to remember the phone call.
"And?" Kaoru blushed as she read his sweater, what an ego on a boy.
"Oh, he said, to tell you, pick out something for him for your best friend that likes him. He said he'd try the first date." Kenshin tried to get it right. Kaoru was trying to place it in order in her mind.
"So pick out a gift for Megumi, and he'll give her a try at a date. Got it." Kaoru was glad she had it down; her mind was at a confused state right now, how come Kenshin didn't call but came here? His house was a long way from here.
"But I got a question, how come you didn't just call?"
"I don't know truthfully. I guess I wanted to come here." Kenshin produced a gentle smile and Kaoru couldn't help but let him stay a little more to chat.
"Want anything? Tea, soda, coffee?" Kaoru offered getting up.
"Tea would be fine, thank you." Kenshin nodded and Kaoru went to make some tea for them. Why am I being so nice to him? Am I started to-no, I can't trust him, not this soon...not now...I just- The phone ringing made her thoughts stop suddenly and she scurried to the phone in the kitchen and picked it up so as to not wake up the sleeping occupants of the house.
"Hello?"
"Is this Kamiya Kaoru or Kamiya Yahiko?"
"Yes, this is Kaoru." Kaoru answered feeling something bad, feeling as though something was going to happen and it wasn't good.
"Well, Kamiya-san, your father Kaoru-san, has hit critical stage. We've calmed him down, but he will be gone soon. And we would like you to come to see him if you like, before he passes away." The other voice must have been a nurse, a hint of sympathy was heard but Kaoru slumped on the counter and she couldn't hold herself up any longer knocked over a glass cup and sent it to the floor inches away from her.
"No.this can't be..." Kaoru muttered, and the nurse must have been doing these kinds of phone calls before tried to calm Kaoru down, to tell her put away the doubt before its too late. Kaoru hung up not wanting to listen anymore. Kenshin had heard the crash and was rushing into the room seeing a fallen Kaoru and her eyes full of hurt and pain.
"Are you alright Kaoru?" Kenshin didn't notice his slip of words and neither did Kaoru as she looked up at him.
"Kenshin.... he's going to leave me...." Kaoru whispered and she flew into his chest crying full force. Kenshin didn't understand, but it had to do with that phone call and tried to calm her down.
"We have to leave to the hospital. I have to get Yahiko too." Kaoru said wiping at her eyes and trying to stop the flow but it kept going. It was useless trying to hide her pain, and Kenshin wanted so bad to know what happened, to make Kaoru lose her cool in front of him.
"Alright, I'll be waiting by the door for you to use my limo." Kenshin told Kaoru and Kaoru nodded and ran up the stairs still trying to get her face in order.
"Yahiko, wake up. Daddy needs us." Kaoru whispered and Yahiko sat up straight fearing the worst and it was confirmed when he saw his sister's face full of flowing tears.
"Hurry now, he needs us right now." Kaoru cooed and Yahiko got out and pulled a long black trench coat out of his closet for Kaoru to hide her yukata under and he pulled a sweater over his bare body and pulled on some shoes.
"Lets go Kaoru." He comforted his sister. He needed to comfort her, but he didn't know how long he would be able to hold his front up. He didn't know how long before he broke before his sister.
"Kaoru, let's go." Kenshin held Kaoru's hand as the three made their way down the steps and into the waiting limo. IT sped to the hospital fast. Kenshin didn't notice his slip of words still and Kaoru was too lost to even care, she didn't even noticed Kenshin's hand still clasping hers. Yahiko was just as lost, wishing Tsubame were here so he could cry on her shoulder. As she had done with him in the movies, promising to let him cry on her when he needed to.
The reached the hospital and things sped so fast that Kaoru soon found herself face to face with a haggardly breathing dad of hers. She fell to her knees beside his bed.

"Well it's the best, and only the best can serve the best." He smirked and she started to join him in too. The food was great, the service was great, but what scared Sanosuke it most was that Megumi was great. He shivered thinking just that thought. Megumi noticed it very much.
"What's wrong, is it too cold? Want to trade spots then?" Megumi offered, lifting herself already out the chair. Sano shook his head no and just ate in silence, admiring Megumi as her eyes strayed from the table to the surroundings. Maybe Jou-chan is right, maybe all I need to do is give her a chance, and it just might work out.
"Check please!" Sano's voice made Megumi's head whoosh right back.
"We're already...leaving?" She asked, not wanting this perfect dinner to end, even if he didn't think it was a date.
"Yeah, I'm full. And you seem as you don't want to eat, so...why stay?" Sano left the bills on the table and got up and walked out and Megumi followed him, closer. Once they reached outside a fierce wind blew and knocked Sano's hair around a bit and Megumi's tresses were sent wildly into the air. Sano turned just in time to capture that rare moment, where his heart stop beating and his eyes were glued. Megumi looked as though she was a wind angel, swishing down just to watch over him as he walked home.
"What? I got something on my face?" Megumi's voice broke the beautiful image and Sano just turned around and began walking home. Megumi stood by herself for a while, not sure to follow or not.
"Are you coming or what?" Sano's voice reached her ears and she smiled catching up to the tall boy.

Kaoru had reached home and saw Yahiko in the practice room, sweating a lot. She thought about ignoring it, but then a sudden urge to teach filled her and she entered the room. She grabbed a nearby bokken, which was on the wall and walked towards Yahiko.
"I heard you got a girlfriend. I heard she's nice. I heard she's someone I know, but what I didn't know was why DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT HER???" Kaoru had strikes him on the head and he lie on the floor going from reality to dream world. He finally got his strength back and sat up.
"Busu, what was that for? So what? I have my own life you have yours. I don't remember you telling me you had a boyfriend. Or is it that you don't have one." Yahiko looked seriously in her eyes. Kaoru knew he had a point; she loved him so much that she thinks its best for him if she is his mother, but again, it'll never happen.
"Never mind. But if you go out on a date with her, or even meet her or anything just call and tell me or tell me the day earlier. Please, I don't want to be worried over such a brat like you." And Yahiko was on his feet swinging at her unbalanced, so she strikes him behind his knees and he buckled down and screamed out in pain and defeat.

"Is Misao here?" Soujirou's voice asked the maid. She nodded and Ruri opened the door wider to produce a beautiful Misao waiting in a kimono. Soujirou would've let his jaw drop but he knew it was a mistake to do so. Misao was gorgeous. Misao on the other hand let her thoughts and physical movements coincide. She let her mouth wide open.
"Soujirou, you look, handsome! That yukata is nice on you!" Misao rushed forward and immediately tripped, as she was not accustomed to the limited spacing and Soujirou was in front of her holding her up in an instant. Their faces were just inches apart. Ruri cleared her voice to state that they should be leaving.
"Oh, yes. Ready Misao?" Soujirou let go Misao, as much as he didn't want to and she nodded and both of them left after Misao gave a quick hug to Ruri.
"Misao, be careful now you here? Oh here, Kunais, keep them in case anybody tries to take advantage of you." Ruri handed 5 kunai and Misao thanked her as she hid them in her obi and followed after Soujirou who was oblivious to the two talking and exchanging items.

"Kenshin, go to Jou-chan's mansion and tell her something for me alright?" Sano's voice filtered through the telephone.
"What? To Kamiya-san's house? Why there? Why can't you go?" Kenshin asked.
"Because I'm stuck here. I need someone to do something for me, because I can't get back in time."
"Why can't I do it then?" Kenshin asked.
"Because you don't know about it. Kaoru does, no offense Kenshin. It's like a girl thing." Sano tried to explain without hurting his best bud feelings.
"Alright, what you need me to tell her?" Kenshin gave up, he would love doing anything involving Kaoru, but she doesn't, which is a set back.
"Tell her to pick something out for me and her best friend that likes me. Tell her I've decided to give a first date a try." Sano said.
"Okay, I got it. Where are you anyways?"
"I'm at my father's house, he's keeping me here for the night to test out my gambling skills, which I can beat him at, no lie, and mother is out with some girlfriends. So I'm stuck." Sano said betting some money on odd numbers, and he won. (The game was played in the anime; I forgot what's it called)
"Alright. I'll go over now and tell her the news ok." Kenshin hung up and asked a limo to be ready and he went downstairs after changing into loose baggy pants and a sweater that read on the front, 'You want to mess with me? Try another time, I'm busy'. He liked it a lot but only preferred to wear it when going out with friends rather than at school or with the parent.
________________________________________
The doorbell rang, and Kaoru sighed, she should've told one of the maids to stay awake with her to answer the doorbell but then she got her lazy self from the couch and placed her finger on the page she was reading and shuffled to the door. She was already in her nightclothes, ready for bed. She wasn't expecting anyone, maybe Sano but she really didn't care.
As Kenshin rang the doorbell a thought went through his mind, he should've called her instead of coming here, now she's going to say that too! She's probably asleep. Maybe I should leave now. As Kenshin stared to turn around the door opened revealing a porcelain Kaoru, with her yukata hanging off her, mostly inappropriate to answer a door with. She quickly realized the bright hair and covered her chest.
"What are you doing here?" Kaoru asked quickly.
"Nothing perverted! I mean, I- Sano told me to come over to tell you something important!" Kenshin stuttered for the right answer.
"What is it? Wait, come inside, it's too cold to be standing here in the doorway." Kaoru noted as she shivered and she went aside to allow Kenshin in and shut the door going to the couch, Kenshin followed.
"What is it now?" Kaoru asked again.
"Sano said, um he was stuck and he couldn't come over so he wanted me to tell you it." Kenshin started trying to remember the phone call.
"And?" Kaoru blushed as she read his sweater, what an ego on a boy.
"Oh, he said, to tell you, pick out something for him for your best friend that likes him. He said he'd try the first date." Kenshin tried to get it right. Kaoru was trying to place it in order in her mind.
"So pick out a gift for Megumi, and he'll give her a try at a date. Got it." Kaoru was glad she had it down; her mind was at a confused state right now, how come Kenshin didn't call but came here? His house was a long way from here.
"But I got a question, how come you didn't just call?"
"I don't know truthfully. I guess I wanted to come here." Kenshin produced a gentle smile and Kaoru couldn't help but let him stay a little more to chat.
"Want anything? Tea, soda, coffee?" Kaoru offered getting up.
"Tea would be fine, thank you." Kenshin nodded and Kaoru went to make some tea for them. Why am I being so nice to him? Am I started to-no, I can't trust him, not this soon...not now...I just- The phone ringing made her thoughts stop suddenly and she scurried to the phone in the kitchen and picked it up so as to not wake up the sleeping occupants of the house.
"Hello?"
"Is this Kamiya Kaoru or Kamiya Yahiko?"
"Yes, this is Kaoru." Kaoru answered feeling something bad, feeling as though something was going to happen and it wasn't good.
"Well, Kamiya-san, your father Kaoru-san, has hit critical stage. We've calmed him down, but he will be gone soon. And we would like you to come to see him if you like, before he passes away." The other voice must have been a nurse, a hint of sympathy was heard but Kaoru slumped on the counter and she couldn't hold herself up any longer knocked over a glass cup and sent it to the floor inches away from her.
"No.this can't be..." Kaoru muttered, and the nurse must have been doing these kinds of phone calls before tried to calm Kaoru down, to tell her put away the doubt before its too late. Kaoru hung up not wanting to listen anymore. Kenshin had heard the crash and was rushing into the room seeing a fallen Kaoru and her eyes full of hurt and pain.
"Are you alright Kaoru?" Kenshin didn't notice his slip of words and neither did Kaoru as she looked up at him.
"Kenshin.... he's going to leave me...." Kaoru whispered and she flew into his chest crying full force. Kenshin didn't understand, but it had to do with that phone call and tried to calm her down.
"We have to leave to the hospital. I have to get Yahiko too." Kaoru said wiping at her eyes and trying to stop the flow but it kept going. It was useless trying to hide her pain, and Kenshin wanted so bad to know what happened, to make Kaoru lose her cool in front of him.
"Alright, I'll be waiting by the door for you to use my limo." Kenshin told Kaoru and Kaoru nodded and ran up the stairs still trying to get her face in order.
"Yahiko, wake up. Daddy needs us." Kaoru whispered and Yahiko sat up straight fearing the worst and it was confirmed when he saw his sister's face full of flowing tears.
"Hurry now, he needs us right now." Kaoru cooed and Yahiko got out and pulled a long black trench coat out of his closet for Kaoru to hide her yukata under and he pulled a sweater over his bare body and pulled on some shoes.
"Lets go Kaoru." He comforted his sister. He needed to comfort her, but he didn't know how long he would be able to hold his front up. He didn't know how long before he broke before his sister.
"Kaoru, let's go." Kenshin held Kaoru's hand as the three made their way down the steps and into the waiting limo. IT sped to the hospital fast. Kenshin didn't notice his slip of words still and Kaoru was too lost to even care, she didn't even noticed Kenshin's hand still clasping hers. Yahiko was just as lost, wishing Tsubame were here so he could cry on her shoulder. As she had done with him in the movies, promising to let him cry on her when he needed to.
The reached the hospital and things sped so fast that Kaoru soon found herself face to face with a haggardly breathing dad of hers. She fell to her knees beside his bed.
