Kenji was taken aback, she wanted him to stay? He didn't believe her at first but something in the way she had asked him made him believe her. He nodded and put his bags down.
"Well-um actually I have to go out of town for a few days so you might have to wait, but then again I had to wait over two years so what's a couple of days?" Kaoru smiled meekly.
"Where are you going?" he asked curiously.
"To visit a friend, I have something of hers, and I need to ask her to do something for me." Kaoru couldn't help but laugh at herself, 'I am gonna ask Megumi for something, I must be ill...'
Kenshin appeared out of his room yawning "So you're going to visit Miss Megumi? Would you-"
"No" she already knew what he was going to ask her, and she did not want him to come with her. "I think that you should stay here watch over Yahiko."
Kenshin looked puzzled, 'She must be ill or something she is being nice to Kenji, I guess what he said to her must have really sunk in or something...'
* * *
Kenshin's POV:
Kaoru had left before anyone could say anything to stop her. "You want me to make it to Aizu before dark don't you?" she asked as she ran off.
Kenshin spent half the day washing clothes and cleaning up the Dojo. It was late afternoon when he went to see if Yahiko had woken up yet. Kenshin stepped into the room to see Kenji sitting over the boy patting his head gently with a cool washcloth.
"Ahh Kenshin, may I call you Kenshin?" he looked at the short red haired man.
Kenshin smiled a little, "How's he doing?" He motioned towards Yahiko.
"What happened to him? He's banged up pretty bad."
Kenshin explained about the large man and how Yahiko was trying to protect the Akabeko and how he had started his job as the 'guard of the restaurant.'
Kenji laughed, "I had a feeling that the kid was a little bigheaded. Well it was a good thing you didn't tell Kaoru, she probably would have smacked him around for being so foolish."
Kenshin couldn't help but silently agree with him. He couldn't help imagining her chasing Yahiko around with a bokken repeatedly smacking him on the head. 'I wonder what she is doing?' he wondered looking at the sun beginning to set.
* * *
Kaoru's POV:
Kaoru walked into the town of Aizu as the sun was beginning to fall behind the hills; 'I just realized I have no idea where Megumi lives...' she looked around the street confused.
"Looking for something?" said a gruff voice from behind her.
Kaoru jumped before turning around to see a middle aged man behind a pottery booth, "Umm yes do you know where Megumi Takani lives?"
"Last house on the left side of this street." He pointed down the road to a beautiful little home.
"Thank you" she bowed. It didn't take Kaoru long she was at the house, she looked around it seemed at the moment abandon.
Something was tugging at the sleeve of her kimono; she looked down to see a little boy who was looking at her with big curious eyes. "Are you looking for the pretty doctor lady?"
Kaoru smiled at the little boy 'pretty is going a little far, but then again he is just a child so what does he know about true beauty' she thought. "Do you know where she is?"
The little boy nodded innocently as he took Kaoru's hand and led her to an old looking home. As soon as they entered the house the little boy led Kaoru to a room at the end of the hall.
Megumi was talking to another woman and holding a bottle of what looked like some kind of medicine "Minoru I thought I told you to-" but she stopped when she looked up and saw who he was standing next to. She turned back to the woman, "so just one a day and you should be fine."
"Oh thank you doctor." The lady shook Megumi's hand as they both stood up.
"I will be back in a few days to see how you are doing." She smiled as she left Kaoru and the little boy following behind. Megumi turned to face the little boy, "I'm done now, you can go see your mommy."
The little boy nodded as he ran into the house. Kaoru watched as he disappeared.
* * *
Kaoru and Megumi sat in Megumi's house sipping tea and talking.
"So why did you come all this way? Nothing's wrong with Sir Ken is it?" Megumi said looking at Kaoru as she drank her tea.
"No, he's fine, I left him home to watch Yahiko and my older brother..." she trailed off as she saw how confused Megumi was, Kaoru as quickly as she could explained everything to her. "...So do you understand now?"
"I would have never taken you for the type to forgive so easily." Megumi got an evil look on her face, "so why are you really here, I know it wasn't to tell me about your brother."
"I had to give you this letter that Sanosuke sent you, and I have a favor to ask of you." Kaoru blushed as she handed Megumi the letter from Sanosuke.
Megumi read the letter over as started to laugh as she read it. "Stupid Rooster Head." She looked at Kaoru, "Did you read this?"
Kaoru nodded, "Funny isn't it? I still can't see Sanosuke being the midwife to a cow; however I can see him not knowing if it was a boy or a girl." Kaoru started to laugh, "And then he brags about it to you, who would have thought?"
"Not me..." Megumi looked at her for a minuet. "Kaoru you said you have a favor to ask of me, what is it?"
Kaoru's face turned serious. "Yes um-I haven't been feeling well lately and I was wondering if you could help me..."
Megumi looked concernedly at her "What kind of help?"
* * *
Kenshin's POV:
Kenshin and Kenji where eating a well prepared meal that Kenji had made himself.
"Kenshin, how can you stand my sisters cooking?" Kenji asked as he took a sip of some tea.
"It grows on you after a while."
"No it doesn't, I ate her food for 3 years and I never got used to it." Kenji got a disgusted look on his face as he thought of those three starved years. "You have to be pretty strong willed person to withstand her food."
Kenshin laughed "You give me too much credit."
"Damn, you're too humble!" Kenji looked frustrated.
Kenshin just laughed.
"Kenshin" Kenji's voice turned serious, "What is your relationship with my sister?"
"Oro?" Kenshin's face turned red. 'This is random, is he interrogating me?'
"Do you love her?" Kenji's face turned terrifyingly dark.
'Is that look hereditary? That is even scarier than Kaoru's glare,' Kenshin scratched the back of his head "Umm-I-er I mean..."
"If you ever hurt her I'll kill you."
"Oro?"
