~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=Saturday=
"Wow." Misao's eyes were large as she looked around the warehouse.
Kenshin glanced around the warehouse. It was decorated with paper... red and white things... there was a lot of green too.
A phonograph was playing an American song. Kenshin recognized it as Tomoe's favorite American song- One O'clock Jump. They had heard it played when they attended a marriage banquet of their wealthy neighbor's son.
To the back of the room was a big tree; someone told Kenshin it had come all the way from America. Kenshin thought it looked a lot like the missing tree in front of the church.
The tree was decorated with a long string of whitish yellow ball things... and strange charms hanging from its branches. There were also strips of shiny silver hanging from different branches of the tree, like hair.
Under it were large socks, socks you could wear, and inside was chocolate, or a curved red and white strip of candy. There was a fat old man with hair the color of snow stopping under the tree and handing out the socks.
The dance floor had been waxed so it shown like marble. On it were girls in pretty colored dressed and men in uniform twirling them. Kenshin found himself lost in the sea of people.
Kenshin saw many Americans, with their red, yellow, and brown hairs. As he tried to speak to one, he realized he couldn't speak English. The red haired man just walked away.
He sighed; this book would be harder than he thought.
His eyes lit up in delight in seeing the table of American delicacies.
***
Kaoru sat down tiredly. Soujirou had twirled her around and around so many times that she was beginning to see little socks dancing.
"Miss Kaoru... let's go try the American food!" Gina tapped Kaoru's shoulder.
Kaoru nodded and walked to the table. Gina picked up a whitish yellow cube that was on a cracker and tasted it. She made a face, "This thing must have gone bad. Cracker good though." She announced.
Kaoru shook her head, "Probably just that piece." She picked up another cube and tasted it, "It is bad."
(A/N: Anyone want to guess what that "cube" thing was?)
Gina nodded, "Oh! There are the puffy white things that are on the tree."
Kaoru taste them eagerly, "Good." She said.
(A/N: Anyone want to guess what the "puffy white thing" is?)
"Have you tried the chocolate? They are very good." A voice beside Kaoru said.
Kaoru turned around to meet face to face a short man with flaming long red hair. He had tender golden eyes. "Why thank you." Kaoru accepted the chocolate piece, "And you would be..."
***
The young woman had the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen. Kenshin was almost at a loss for words.
"Kenshin... Himura."
Her eyes widened, "The writer!! I love your work!" She turned to get someone's attention, and the heel of her shoe broke.
She would have tumbled and smack her head had not Kenshin grab her arms and righted her.
She blushed ash she tossed her hair back, "Thank you."
"Miss Kaoru, you all right?" A golden-eyed woman hurried over, followed by Okita and Soujirou.
Soujirou smiled, "Thank you Mr. Himura."
Kenshin was surprised, "Your wife?" Soujirou grinned and nodded. "Then would you allow me to dance with your wife for this lovely American song? It's called 'String of Pearls'"
Before Soujirou or Kaoru could protest, Kenshin grabbed Kaoru's hand and led her to the dance floor.
Kaoru giggled, "You're familiar with the American culture Mr. Himura."
Kenshin gave a low chuckle, "I'm a writer. You need to know what you are writing about."
"Is your new book almost finished?"
Kenshin swallowed hard as Kaoru began to walk away. The song had ended. A Soujirou took her offering hand; Kenshin yelled loudly, "ALMOST!"
Kaoru and her husband turned around. Kaoru flashed him a smile, "I'm looking forward to it."
Kenshin watched Soujirou led Kaoru towards a group of pilot, were they had crowded around a most annoyed Saitou Hajime.
A tall man knocked into Kenshin, "Watch it."
Kenshin's eyes widened, "You speak Chinese!"
The brown haired brown eyed man in American uniform nodded, "My father is... mother's French."
"You're a pilot?"
"Yeah... what's it to you?"
"I'm Himura Kenshin..."
"Oh... yeah... my dad reads your books."
"How would your dad like it if I used you as the main character in my new book?"
***
Kaoru paced nervously by the doorframe. She was still in her dress from the party. Tokio was in labor. The doctor had moved everyone outside.
Gina chewed on her fingernails while the two little boys slept on the mat on the porch.
Saitou was 'calmly' smoking, if calmly was picking up a cigarette, lightening it, throwing it down, squishing it under the heel of the shoe, and repeating; all without bringing the cigarette to one's lips.
Soujirou and Okita were betting if the baby would be a boy or girl.
"Boy!" Okita laughed.
"Bet it's a girl." Soujirou challenged.
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"Boy!"
"Girl!"
"Boy."
"Girl."
"Dead." Came a low voice. The doctor shuffled out from the door.
