Chapter Seven
Uncle Shishio?!
"Please Kenshin!! I just want this little plushie!!" Kaoru begged after she ran into the nearest toy store. She held up a plushie that looked like Kenshin. "It looks soooo much like you!! Please!!???"
Kenshin growled at having to spend his money on a little plushie that looked like him. I mean, if you're so crazy about him and you were his friend, then why can't you just see him instead of buying a little copy? Kenshin looked at Kaoru with a small death glare. "Fine." He said as he handed her some money. "Buy that plushie and only that plushie!!" he warned her.
"Okay Kenshin-san." She said as she happily took the money.
After they purchased the plushie, which Kenshin disliked cause it looked nothing like him, they came to a huge building with gates surrounding it.
"Is this the headquarters?" Kaoru asked as she looked to Kenshin, who was just as tall as her.
"Yes this is the headquarters. Why what'd you think? You thought this was another store didn't you?" he asked slyly as he stared at her. 'Don't look at her.. don't look at her!! Aaaaahhhh!!! Too pretty!!' Kenshin thought. He was currently having a fight with his inner battousai. Then he gained control again. "Let's go inside." He said to her. Kenshin opened the gates and stepped inside.
Kaoru finally looked at the place. 'What a beautiful place!' Kaoru thought. It had nice flowers like morning glories (that's my flower!), roses, tulips, sunflowers and many more. The building was plain white and had many windows. There were two, huge, oak doors at the top of the stairs. The stairs had about approximately 45 steps. After they reached to the top, Kaoru looked again to what she just saw. Then she turned around and went inside the place.
Inside the building the floor was marble. It was so shiny you could see your reflection. Not that you can't see it or anything. They entered the lobby. To the right of the lobby, there were leather couches. To the left, there was a reception desk.
Kenshin walked past the lobby and took a right to a door. He opened the door and walked past many corridors Then they arrived at two large oak doors (again) and walked inside. Inside the room was dark. Kaoru, especially Kaoru, didn't like the dark right now. Because there were eyes glowing through the dark.
'oohh. This looks really creepy!' she thought. She really hated the dark. Ever since she was a little kid, she didn't like it because she had an accident in the dark while she was walking. When she was little she stepped on a rat and killed it. All the blood came gushing out of the rat and went on her foot. She didn't want that to happen to her again. Then she heard Kenshin talking again.
"First we'll go to my wife, Tomoe." Kenshin said as he walked past shadows in the dark. Kaoru could see the figures of these people. Her eyes already got accustomed to the dark.
'He has a wife?!' Kaoru was surprised.
Then Kenshin walked up to a door and opened it. There was a light illuminating the dark room and stepped inside and held the door open for Kaoru to step in. "Tomoe-san? Are you here?" Kenshin asked in a soft voice as he closed the door behind him. None that Kaoru has ever heard of.
"Yes Kenshin. I'm here." A soft voice answered back. Then a young lady emerged from a room with a towel over her head.
She must've come out of the bathroom.'Kaoru thought. Then Kaoru looked over Tomoe. She had pretty violet eyes (is that right?), and a purplish kind of hair. (is that right too?) She had a creamy white skin and a beautiful slim body. (I don't like explaining things that belong to girls. I don't even like to look at myself! Not that I'm ugly. Why am I talking about this stuff?!! Yuck!! Don't read any of this stuff if there are boys out there reading this!!)
"Hey Kenshin-san! What are you doing here so early -? Who's this?" Tomoe asked as she saw Kaoru standing there. A flicker of anger and jealousy crossed Tomoe's beautiful face. Wait was the jealousy? Why should Tomoe be jealous of Kaoru? Kaoru could never compare to Tomoe, as so Kenshin thought. Her anger made the smell of white plums grow stronger, as if claiming Kenshin hers.
Kaoru apparently didn't notice the anger or jealousy that crossed Tomoe's face. "Hello! My name is Kamiya, Kaoru!" Kaoru explained.
Then shock came over the face of Tomoe. 'So this is the one that Battousai was supposed to kill five years ago. Well, well, well, Ms. Goodie Two Shoes won't steal my Kenshin away from me!' (yes I'm making Tomoe a bit snobbish in this fic. For those that like Tomoe, you should stop reading this!!). "Hello! My name used to be Yukishiro, Tomoe! But now since I'm married to this man over here," Tomoe said as she walked over to where Kenshin was and hugged his waist. " my name is now Himura, Tomoe. ( does that sound right?)" then Tomoe sent a death glare over to Kaoru as she silently warned her that Kenshin was hers.
Kaoru apparently caught this and nodded. Then made a face that seemed to be saying, 'I'm not trying to take him away from you! I don't even know him!'.
Tomoe looked at Kaoru hard before nodding in relief. But she still didn't trust that Kaoru. 'I'll just devise a backup plan in case she still tries to take away my man!' Tomoe thought as she hugged Kenshin as if he would run into Kaoru's arms and kiss her. Then she turned away from Kaoru and looked up to Kenshin. "You still didn't answer my question Kenshin-san! What are you doing here so early?" Tomoe asked.
"Oh yeah! I just came in here to see if you were still here. I came to the headquarters to report to Shishio about a new member for our group." He said as he pointed his thumb over his shoulder to Kaoru, who was looking around the room.
Tomoe nodded in approval. "Then go your way! I'll wait here for you!" Tomoe ushered both Kenshin and Kaoru out of the door. And then sent Kaoru another glare that seemed to say, 'Don't try anything missy!!!!' smiled at Kenshin and then closed the door.
15 min. later
"We're here. Now make sure you don't ask him any questions. Just answer. He'll be the one asking you the questions." Kenshin said as he stopped at two large maple doors. (I'm making too many wood doors here! Maybe I should make one that's steel!! Hehe, no. -_-;)
"Yeah yeah whatever!" Kaoru answered.
Then Kenshin opened the door and it revealed another dark room. 'How many dark rooms will there be?!' Kaoru asked herself.
"Mister Shishio. I have brought a new member. Please meet her." Kenshin said and bowed down. (I know that Kenshin was supposed to bring Kaoru to Megumi, but, Megumi might be too rough on poor little Kaoru!)
A man in bandages (is he wrapped in bandages or cloths?) turned around and stood up from his seat. Then he took a look at Kaoru and said, "Hey Kaoru-san! What's up?" he asked.
Kaoru at first was shocked at what the man just said. But then she realized the voice. It was her uncle Shishio!! "Hey Uncle Shishio!"
