Unconditional Love
Chapter Five
A woman who was about the same age of Kaoru hopped like a kid and landed a few feet before Kaoru. "What's up? Oh, what a beauty you are! I have heard a lot about you from Himura! This stupid swordsman really is madly in love with you! I don't think he deserves a dazzling woman like you!" she said cheerily, her bright green eyes shining.
Kaoru blinked in surprised. She had never met a woman who was so optimistic. She was amazed that this woman who seems to be the same age as she appeared to be so childlike. Before she could respond, the braided haired girl introduced herself, "Hi! Sorry if I'm rude. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Makimachi Misao." She outstretched her hand to shake hands and they both shook.
"Really, Misao do you have to act like a child? No wonder Aoshi prefers mature women unlike somebody I know," a guy with chestnut hair said with a smirk, his hands at the back of his head. He wore a red bandana around his forehead and jeans with a plain white shirt. Misao glared at him.
"Watch your mouth, Sanosuke! Or should I call you chicken brain?" Misao retorted.
"Now, you two stop it," Kenshin said hopelessly. He turned to Kaoru with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that, these two always argue," he pointed at them, arguing like shrews.
A man with cool eyes studied Kaoru. As if sensing it, Kaoru turned to him. "You must be the girl who doesn't believe in love. This must be really interesting," he said coolly.
Misao and Sanosuke stopped. They all turned to Kaoru. Two teenagers and an older woman walked to face Kaoru.
"I wonder what could possibly make you who you are right now. How strange. I have never met a woman like you. What a waste for you not to fall in love especially with that beauty of yours," she said sarcastically.
"A beauty you say? More like an ugly woman. There is no beauty, Megumi," the teenager boy commented.
"Yahiko! How dare you say that!" the girl exclaimed beside him, shocked.
"Such impertinence from a kid like you should be slapped in the face. I would really love to do it but unfortunately, I don't want you to be embarrassed in front them, so consider yourself lucky," Kaoru said in a cold voice. Yahiko merely grunted and looked away, offering no apology.
"Apologize, Yahiko," Kenshin said sternly.
Yahiko muttered sorry without looking at Kaoru.
Kenshin began introducing all of them. "This is Takani Megumi and her sister Tsubame." he held out his hands to them. Megumi had a straight black hair flowing passed her shoulders and had bangs that covered her forehead. She had sharp eyes and an air of intelligence. She was a successful brain surgeon and the most respectable oncologist in the hospital she worked with a college degree from Princeton in the States.
Although she and her sister didn't look alike they were extremely closed. They were always there for each other. Tsubame had short brunette hair making her look innocent. While her eyes were shy, her older sister's were demanding and sharp. They were both different but had a strong bond between them. Being only thirteen, Tsubame was already in her second year high together with Yahiko.
"This is Myoujin Yahiko, Makimachi Misao, Sagara Sanosuke, and Aoshi." He pointed at each of them, while he said their names.
Yahiko was a boy who loved swordsmanship as Kenshin. He wanted to be strong and had great respect for Kenshin. His hair was black with eyes that always seemed to be serious and disgruntled.
Aoshi was a man who rarely expressed his feelings. He was a taciturn person but there was something about him that made Misao fall in love with him. Although he was cold, he was a loyal and trusted friend of Kenshin. He was good in espionage and so was Misao. He was a CPA of a well known company and got promoted as CEO of one of the largest company in Japan at the age of only twenty- six.
Misao was a lawyer. She may not look like it but she won so many cases. She was very good in arguing which is why she was always argumentative. She worked for the homeless and her smiles and optimism made her liked among the homeless and her co- workers. Other than that, she trained every weekend to sharpen her skills as a ninja.
Sagara Sanosuke was a man who loved to be engaged in mellee. He proved to be belligerent which made him dangerous in the gang world. He fought against bad gangs. He excelled in architecture at Tokyo University, he did not look like an intelligent person but inside he was as smart as the others. Other than fighting, he loved to design houses. He was a prominent architect.
After the introductions were made, they all settled in their seats. Misao was on the right side beside Kaoru while Tsubame sat in her opposite. Megumi on her sister's left, next to Megumi was Yahiko. Aoshi chose the seat next to Kenshin and Sanosuke sat between him and Misao.
Kaoru crossed her arms and glowered at Kenshin. "Just what is this all about? Why would you invite six other people?" Kaoru asked angrily. She wanted to leave and never see these people.
"Calm down, Kaoru. Just relax. I will explain everything," Kenshin replied.
Everyone started eating the scones and the chocolate chip cookies except for Kaoru, drinking her hot chocolate.
Kenshin took a deep breath. "As I have said, these are my loyal friends. I trust them. Kaoru, these people will be here as guardians." He paused. Everyone listened intently as they ate.
He continued, "I did not research about your family for twelve years. I built an empire. This empire is an underground secret society named Dark Agency preferably known as DA. This agency I created is a society I which people have extraordinary abilities. In fact, everyone here are not what they seemed to be including myself. The true reason why I left for London to build this empire was because most people like themselves are plentiful.
These people have secret missions to help people in distress. We even save the world. Ever since your............. parent's death I wanted to make a difference. I had the goal in mind to create this society before I left so I can protect people. But I failed to protect you and your family. I-"before he could continue, Kaoru cut him off.
She rose abruptly and everyone stopped eating. "I don't care about your agency or whatever it's called. I don't give a damn. I came merely to ask you why just came out of nowhere into my life! I don't need anyone's help. I'm better off alone. I will never believe in love because it's too painful...I just hate it when everyone enjoys all the time of their life. I hate everything!" she shouted. She turned and ran away.
Yugi was walking in the hallway on is way to the library when suddenly he saw Kaoru bursting into tears as she hurtled passed him. Yugi called out but it fell on deaf ears. She was gone.
Kenshin stood at the other end of the hallway, his head bowed. Yugi went to him, giving him a fatherly hug.
"Let me talk to her. Everything will be fine," Yugi comforted.
Tears rolled down Kenshin's cheeks as Yugi gave him a tight hug and then pulled back.
"Don't worry, Master. I will bring her back.." He smiled fondly and looking at him as if he was his own son. Then he left Kenshin standing alone.
