Meta Moon: Hello, decided I needed to update soon. So now I'm typing chapter six, actually it was part of chapter five, but I didn't want to post in case it didn't load. Put this one and chapter five together and you got how long it was really going to be.
Disclaimer: Really, now, why is this necessary for me to do? Stop making fun of me! sobs
A random thing: Someone asked me if Tomoe was going to make an appearance in this story and if she was going to be Kenshin's first love. To answer that she might make an appearance I don't know yet, but for sure will not be Kenshin's first love and if she does show up she might only end up flirting with him trying to get him to like her or something. Since I don't know her personality too much, I just might make my own character that is trying to win his love. Whoot!
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Something . . . something was burning, he gasped in horror when he realized what it was. His bandanna's ends had fallen into the still going fire and . . . it was steadily getting closer to his head. "Jou-chan! Help me out here!" Kaoru reached for the pan of water that still held one of the live fish that Sano hadn't cooked. Splash! Water dripped down from his spikes and onto his nose and chin. The still very much a live fish on his head hit him in the face with its tail fin before it fell off unto the ground. Kaoru: 'I wonder if it's dead yet?'
Sanosuke: "Uhh–thanks I think?" He squeezed the water out of his hair and started to trudge his way to the stream to supposedly get the stink of fish off him.
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
He came back a half hour later with his hair still damp, Kaoru giggled. Sano looked strange without his head band on and with the hair that was kept back by it falling into his face. He plopped down on the ground and just fixed his gaze on the bandanna in his hands. "Are you all right?" Kaoru was concerned he looked like his favorite goldfish just died. Okay, the whole fish thing is getting old now.
"Yeah," Kaoru wondered what it could be that would make Sanosuke only feel like replying with one word when he usually talks excessively. "You don't look okay to me!" She huffed, if that was how it was going to go then maybe she wouldn't talk to him anymore. The swords woman then berated herself for being so quick to raise her temper. It was obviously something that tore at his heart to think about, and has anyone noticed the author has a weird way of referring to feelings.
The brown haired man turned his head away from it and sighed. "It was given to me by a friend, but I'm at lost as what to do with it now." 'Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it.' Kaoru felt a guilt trip start, 'No wonder he appears so sad. Whoever it is, he must be dead, maybe that friend he talked of earlier? I wish I could do –' Sano watched as she jumped up from her spot and rummaged through her bag. An 'Ah, ha' issued from her lips when she found the object she sought from the recesses of her very cluttered bag.
She clasped it in her hands behind her as she walked to his back. The woman shifted his hair as she tied it and let go of the ends. He looked over his shoulder to get a look at it. It was a red bandanna, Sanosuke quickly snapped his head back front when her felt her take his burnt one from his hands. She wound it around his wrist and up until it was half way up to his elbow. Kaoru pulled it tautly then tied it tucking the burnt edges inside. He looked back up at her when she finished. "Thank you." "Your welcome," Kaoru smiled at him and stood up.
Kaoru: "I think it's time I took my leave." He said nothing as she gathered her stuff onto her back, it was not until she turned away to go that he spoke. "Jou-chan where are you going," Sano asked in a soft and quiet voice that frankly surprised the crap of her. Who knew he could speak so softly with a voice like his, not Kaoru for sure.
She replied with equally soft tones, "I really don't know for sure, but I'm going to find my brother. What are you going to do?" " I'm Goin' to check on an old friend of my boss." Kaoru turned around and fixed him with a questioning glance, he seemed to understand what she was asking and answered her. "He lives in a dojo about a half day from here." The woman shivered, there was no doubt he was talking about her father because he was the closest person around with a home and not only that but a dojo.
If it really was her father then, Sanosuke was going to end up sadly disappointed. "Kamiya Kenji is dead!" Kaoru didn't know why she did that, it was an impulse, but she had a feeling that it was her father he spoke of. Sano looked at her strangely as though she were a frog being dissected. "What!?" 'How could this happen it was just four days ago that we received word from him that everything was okay on his lands.'
Kaoru dropped her bag and went over to Sano and sat leaning her head against his arm with her knees drawled up to her chest and her arms wrapped around her knees. She took a deep breath and listened to the beat of his heart to calm herself. "Kamiya Kenji . . . is dead." "How long," he asked her.
Kaoru rested her forehead on her kneecaps to stop a sob from escaping her. "Almost t-two days." The brunet wrapped the nearly crying girl in a hug. Kaoru: "Sanosuke, thank you for putting up with me. I'm being such a cry baby, but I was so sure I didn't have enough tears to cry any more." She brushed her eyes off with the back of her hand and tried to contain her sniffs.
"Kaoru," he said hesitantly, " How do you know this and who are you?" Her body shook with repressed sobs, " My name is Kamiya Kaoru, I am the oldest daughter of Kenji. I was out training when the dojo was attacked, so I survived. I smelled smoke in the air and followed it to the dojo, it looked like it was trampled on and the west wing was on fire. My dad, mom, and my twin brother and sister were killed. Their older brother, my younger, was gone and one of their men laid dead by one of their own swords."
He nodded his head to say he understood, "I need you to take me there. Unfortunately I work with some people," he cringed "that will not believe me if I just say I was told Kamiya was dead by his daughter that managed to conveniently be gone when he was murdered." Kaoru looked up at him, "What kind of person has logic like that?" Sano shivered unconsciously, "Trust me, the people I know are very wary of others that can hardly trust themselves with information." 'Much less me.'
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Meta Moon: I bet none of you expect that she would be returning to the dojo so soon, did you?
I pretty much got the next chapter planned out. So I'm not asked, Kaoru is going to have a few man problems but not so many that it makes the story unbelievable. Has anyone noticed that I have trouble making Sanosuke appear to be an idiot. I just think he usually keeps what he knows to him self. Oh, well, that's just me. Please review this chapter, it would make me want to work harder!
