Hello again, I just wanted to say that I hope you all like my story. Once
again, if you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me. I know the
last chapter was really short, so I decided to put this chapter up today as
well.
DISCLAIMER = I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, or any of the characters, even though I wish I did.
The dead leaves crunched beneath Misao's feet as she walked slowly through the forest. She knew that she was going the long way, but she didn't care. The only thing Misao cared about at that moment was avoiding people. She could still feel the tears cascading down her face leaving white streaks through the dirt. Every once in a while she would be able to stop the flow of tears, but they just came back in a few seconds. All she had to do was think of her home, and the tears would fall again. She still couldn't believe they had kicked her out. The people who she had always considered to be her family had kicked her out of the only home she had ever known. For as long as she could remember she had nightmares of Aoshi- sama leaving, but she never thought she would be the one to leave.
As she neared the Himura's dojo she began to second-guess her decision. Misao knew that she couldn't return to the Aoiya, but gramps had given her enough money to stay at any place she wanted for awhile. Even if she did run out of money there were plenty of people she could take money from. After all, Tokyo was sure to be over run with thieves. She could just steal from one of them, and everything would be fine.
After awhile she decided to stay with the Himura's. After all, there's no point in wasting perfectly good money. Besides, Kaoru would probably be happy to see her. As she neared the door she could hear Kaoru yelling at Kenshin about food. After the noise of things hitting the wall subsided she knocked on the door.
"Oh my! Misao-chan it's you. It seems like it's been forever since I've seen you." Kaoru's mouth was formed into a huge grin as she dragged Misao through the door. "Kenshin guess what. Misao has finally come to visit, isn't it great?"
"Oro?" Kenshin's eyes were wide and he had a large bump right in the middle of his forehead. A large pot lay on the floor with a dent in the side, which allowed Misao to see what had happened. Looking around she noticed a very odd sight, much odder then the dented pan.
"Where are Sano, and Yahiko?" Whenever she had visited before they always showed up around dinnertime. Then it clicked, Kaoru had cooked tonight.
"Who cares about a rotten little brat, and a free loader? They left the second I got started cooking, but that's all right. You can just have their food, I already gave Kenshin Sano's, so I'm afraid all that's left is Yahiko's. I hope it will be enough." Misao turned around just in time to see Kenshin slide silently through the door, empty plate in hand.
Sorry, I know this chapter is short as well, but hopefully I'll get the next chapter up soon. I also wanted to apologize about some of the characters. I know a lot of them are very out of character, but I'm really trying. All I can say is keep reading, and hopefully it will get better.
