Amber Eyes
Chapter 17:Letters From Friends
Summary: Who set up the candles? Kenshin and Kaoru each get letters from people they know. But from who? (A/N I know I changed my mind since the last chapter..)
Kenshin and I stared blankly at the letter. Was it for me or him? He reached over towards it, flipping it over to reveal the name to him. A shocked look was on his face as he muttered a name. "What did you say Kenshin?"
"It is from my sister. Misao."
"You never said you had a sister."
"That is because she ran away and I didn't think that I would see her again. Her and I had different fathers. She has gotten her last name from her father, and I have gotten mine from my father. Her full name is Misao Makimachi."
"What does it say Kenshin?" He handed me the letter, he didn't really want to read aloud.
"I read blankly my love, I am afraid you would fall asleep soon after I began, will you read it to me?" I nodded happily as I began reading the story aloud.
"Dear Kenshin, Sorry I haven't spoken to you in a while, after our mother died I felt unwanted and I had to run away. Anyways, I lived with my father for the past three years, learning his ninja style. After that I became a teacher.
My student at the time is the son of my lover. The little boy's name is Yahiko. He came into my school wanting to learn to fight, his father came along with him. I could tell that the boy was very close to my age, but the father was a bit older. Old enough to be his father, but not mine.
Anyways, his father's name is Aoshi, as soon as I saw him I crushed over him.
I fixed up some candles for you and your wife, I hope you don't mind my wedding gift to you. I found out by the manager telling me to get the cabin ready for the new couple. It wasn't until I read your letter requesting the reservations that I noticed who it was. It was you!! I can't wait to see you again, then you can meet Aoshi and Yahiko.
Can you believe that your baby sister is a step mother? I know it is unbelivable. I want to congratulate you Kenshin, I hope she treats you as well as I know you will.
Love, your baby sis, Misao.
"Kenshin are we going to go see your sister soon?"
"Why of course koishii. She is my sister, we have to visit her." He looked back down at the table, "Oh look another letter. It is for you Kaoru." he handed me the letter in the cream envelope.
"It is from Ms. Megumi and Mr. Sanosuke."
"Well are you going to read it or stare at the envelope."
"Right,
"Dear Kenshin and Kaoru, Your wedding was beautiful, but you left before we could tell you the good news. We tried to catch up to you but you were gone as we got through the mob of people. I decided that I could send you a quick letter and it would be there by morning.
Anyways, my good news is, I'm pregnant!! Sano hopes it will be a boy that way he can train it to be strong like him. He should train our son to be strong like me. After all Sano can't be too strong if he can't win a battle against me. Of course he knows that I could easily poison him in his sleep so that he doesn't know. Plus I have the comeback that always works 'I am the doctor' .
It is a little funny how easy it is to beat him, but he knows I love him, but of course I don't say it. It is out of character for me to show effection. Sano decided to send you a letter to you too. I hope you can read his hand writing, after all, he is a very shitty writer. I hope you read it so that he will get off my back about it though.
Write back soon,
Megumi Sagara."(A/N yes I know it goes well, heh she is Mrs. Sagara...)
I put the letter back on the table and got out Sano's, I was about to begin reading when it occured to me what the first letter had said.
"Megumi? Pregnant??" Kenshin looked at me as if he couldn't believe how I reacted.
"I know isn't it wonderful?" I calmed down quickly.
"Yes, I was just surprised thats all. So, are you glad that she is pregnant?"
"Yes, of course I am. I am very happy for Sano. So are you going to read the next letter?"
"Yes
" Dear Kaoru and Kenshin, I tried to catch you lame asses at the wedding but you ran off before we could catch up. Of course Fox probably told you that already. Anyways I am going to be a dad!! Can you believe it?? I am going to train my son to be as strong as I! He will be a great fighter like me. I hope that his mother doesn't try to get ahold of him with her girly things like cooking and cleaning. That is a woman's job. Anyways, I wanted to tell you how I felt about the whole situation. I am so excited!!
Your bud,
Sanosuke Sagara."
"It seems like Sano is happy Kaoru."
"That it does koishii." I set the other note down on the table with the other two. "Well, what is for breakfast?"
"I am going to cook lunch because it is twelve noon koishii. We are going to have some raman."
"Mmm. That sounds good." Kenshin nodded and walked into the kitchen. I soon smelled the aroma of his beautiful cooking skills and the heavenly scents of the ingredients. It was a little bit after that he came out with a bowl of noodles. They tasted really good. Like always he had cooked a delicious food. "Kenshin?"
"Hmm?" he said, looking up at me with noodles hanging out of his mouth.
"When are we going to see your sister."
"umm.. We can tomorrow Kaoru. I do want to see her though. I haven't seen my little sibling since I was eighteen, that I haven't."
"Ok. I am looking forward to thanking her for the candles. They smelled lovely."
"Lovely like you koishii." he let his breath hit my neck, blowing my hair away. "I can do much better without them though." I looked stunned at what he said, as he kissed my shoulder. Could this honeymoon get any better?? He kissed his way to my back, I felt his tongue caress my skin, making me turn to face him. I put my hand in his top, feeling of his masculine chest. I don't think it could get any better than this. But it still did.
(A/N I know the ending had nothing to do with the story, it kinda flowed into my typing fingers... If you like or hate this story I think that you are going to enjoy Hearts in Ice by Zhen Ji, she writes really good stories. Her computer recently crashed right before her ff.net name but now she has a new one, as for her stories that were more popular such as Boys of Summer and Heaven Sent, she is trying to re upload them, but the only one she has a copy of is Heaven Sent. I am going to help her with Boys of Summer so she can retype it.
Anywho, what do you think of my writing? Am I improving? Please, in your review, rate my writing improvement from 1-10. I hope to hear from you soon.......
