Yahiko- *sigh*"... And i thought i was stupid..."

Ayame/Suzume- "Hai! baka Yahiko! *giggles*... not baka Koaru and Sano..."

Yahiko- "Hey!!! It was only a joke! I wasn't saying that it was true!... but Kaoru! Sano! I really thought you two would've already known!?"

Kaoru- "B-b-but I... I... *sigh* Sanosuke what are we gonna do?"

Sano- *closes eyes for a moment then reopens them* "Kenshin is our friend... Of course we'll go out and search for him! But the question is... where are we gonna start?... and when we DO find him... I think I'll have a little chat..."

Kaoru- *stops crying* "It's too late to search now... we'll start in the morning... I want everyone to get some sleep before we go tomorrow understand!?"

everyone- "nods*

Kaoru- "Ayame and Suzume? Please come with me. I'll get you into your beds and give you a quick bath."

Ayame/Suzume- "OK!!!" *runs towards the bath*

Kaoru- *slowly treads after them but halts* "Sanosuke?"

Sano- "hmm?"

Kaoru- *gives him that look in her eyes*

Sano- *nods*

Yahiko- "Umm... Hey Kaoru? Can Tsubame stay over too? cuz umm... you know..."

Kaoru- *pastes on fake smile* "Of course! I wouldn't want Tsubame to be walking out there in the middle of the night! Who do you think I am?"

Yahiko- "Ummm... you really want me to answer that? *quietly* ... busu..."

Tsubame- *elbows him in the ribs* "Thank you very much Miss Kaoru!"

Yahiko- "oww..." *rubs his ribs* "Sorry..."

soon everyone was off to sleep... well almost everyone...

{in Koaru's room}

Sano- "Jou-chan what's wrong?"

Kaoru- *smiles* "Why do you always call me that?"

Sano- *shrugs* "Cuz... I like it?"

Koaru- *quietly laughs* "But nothings wrong..."

Sano- *narrows eyes* "Kaoru don't lie to me..."

Kaoru- "Nothings wrong... Really!"

Sano- "Koaru..."

Kaoru- *sigh*

Sano- "See! That just proves it!"

Kaoru- *looks at him innocently* "Proves what?"

Sano- "Kaoru you know exactly what I mean..."

Kaoru- *sigh* "Well... it's just... what Ayame and Suzume said back there..."

Sano- "You mean about Kenshin and... him loving you?"

Kaoru- "That's just it!... I mean... children - especially the really young ones- have this unusual ability to be right about things like that all the time... What if it's true? How would I deal with that?" *tears fall down*

Sano- *heavy sigh* *embraces her* "I guess we'll know when the time comes... but first we have to find Kenshin."

Kaoru- "You're right!" *pulls away* "We have to find Kenshin and convince him that he belongs here at the dojo with his friends... his family... us!"
