Amber Eyes
Chapter 18: Little Sis
SummaryKenshin and Kaoru go to visit Kenshin's little sister and her new family.
That morning I woke up, with the snow surrounding the cabin as usual, and Kenshin was already up before me. He was staring at the note once again. Mesmerized by the letter from the person the he missed so very much. Looking at him, it didn't even look like he was even reading the letter. More like he was just looking at it, still reminded of the fact that his sister still loved him. He didn't see me behind the wall, as I stood spying on him. I don't think that he noticed anything around him as his eyes were fixed on the note. "Kenshin. What are you doing?"
He jumped, surprised at my arrival, "I am rereading the letter, that I am." once again he gave me one of those empty smiles. I thought that when we were married, those smiles would be only full, obviously there was so much of Kenshin that I didn't understand.
"Lets go see her." I did want to see his sister. I wanted to meet another part of his family, hoping that I could find out how to make him truely happy. So that those real smiles would show up more often. He looked at me with his sorroful eyes like he was worried about something.
"Are you sure you want to koishii?"
I nodded, "I want to. Besides, if I don't then how am I going to get some good things to blackmail you for?" He laughed at my comment and stood up.
"Lets go around lunch time Kaoru. I would like to make sure that my little sister is awake when we get there. I remember when we were little and she used to sleep late. Usually until about one, thirty or two. I don't know why she slept so much though." I heard an unexpected but firmiliar voice coming from the doorway.
"Kind of like someone I know."
"Ms. Megumi! We got your letter yesterday. I am so happy for you and... wait, where is Sanosuke?"
"Getting the bags. I didn't feel like carrying them myself."
"I will help him ma'am." Kenshin looked at her with his helping while empty smiles and walked outside to help the pitiful man carry the many bags of him and his wife. (A/N awww poor Sano..sorry.... I had to say it hehe ) Megumi and I walked into the kitchen and she sat down at the table as I made tea.
"I can get it Ms. Ka-.... I mean Mrs.Himura. Please let me fix it." Heh. Mrs. Himura Kenshin. It seemed a little funny. That was the first time that I was called that and it made me laugh a bit.
"No. You are a guest. Therefor the hostess should fix the meals and such." She sat back down, knowing that she would end up loosing the battle. "By the way, why are you here Ms. Megumi?"
"Didn't chicken head tell you? I told him that I forgot to write it in my letter so in his he was supposed to tell you that we were going to come visit you while you were here." I guess I looked a little bit confused because when she looked up at me she called Sanosuke back. "Chicken head! You forgot to tell them we were coming!"
"Sorry Fox! Wait, no I'm not." his voice got lower as he added on to that apology. He carried three bags in the door.
"I heard that." Megumi looked at him with a hateful glare as he gave her a playful smirk.
"Well we were about to go somewhere. I guess we will have to go tomorrow though."
"Oh no! Don't mind us. We will stay here as you two go." she gave me a look as if saying 'have fun' and took a sip of her tea.
"Where you two going anyways?" Sanosuke butted in as if he had been listening to the whole conversation... come to think of it, he probably was. Kenshin finally spoke up.
"We are going to meet someone. We will be back soon." Kenshin walked outside, giving me the look to come with him, so I did. "Kaoru, lets go now. I would wait until after lunch, but I would like to keep my sister to myself until I get to see her first." I nodded, it was an understandable feeling, of course he wanted to see his sister first alone. He had a lot to talk about.
We left Sanosuke and Megumi back at the cabin, kami knows what they did there. "Kenshin, where do you think your sister lives?"
"On this it says that she lives up here in these mountains, should be near where we are now." I looked around and saw nothing except for the large vast plain of emptyness. Except for far ahead of us I saw a small cabin. "There it is." I had already noticed it but of course all men have to point out the obvious.
The reason the house looked so small from that distance was because we were so far away. It was definately not a small cabin, that was for sure. It was actually huge.
Kenshin knocked on the door of the cabin and the answer came quick. I can't say that the answer was pleasant though. A tall dark figure hovered over me, not saying a single word. Kenshin even seemed interrogated for a moment, until he heard his sister's voice, then he looked like he was surprised with a small splash of anger. "Honey? Who is at the door?" He was shocked, I guess, at hearing his baby sibling speak as she did. He calmed down quick though. "Kenshin!!"
"Hello Misao. This is my wife. Kaoru." I bowed respectively to the younger woman.
"Nice to meet you." She bowed back at me and turned once again at her brother. Even though I knew that they were hugging I was transfered on the tall man, still not saying a word as he stood there. In the midst of it all I saw was a young hand tugging on the man's cloak.
"Yes Yahiko?" his words were cold and unfeeling, even though it was his son trying to get his attention. The boy did not speak like a child, not at all. Of course that was because he wasn't one.
"Dad. Who is that man hugging Misao."
"Your, step-uncle." Kenshin turned and looked at the boy, now known as Yahiko, and bowed to him.
"Nice to meet you young man. I am Kenshin." Yahiko looked angery at the 'young' part of his greeting.
"Hello." Yahiko walked back into the house and the conversation returned to Misao.
"Pardon me. This is my husband. Kenshin, Kaoru, this is Aoshi." Aoshi turned and bowed at us, his face as stern as ever. Not one muscle besides in his hips moved. It was like a small doll that you bend over and the rest of it doesn't even move.
"Nice to meet you." he said something first for once.
"Kaoru, do you mind if my sister and I can talk alone for a moment?" I nodded.
"Aoshi, show Kaoru where she can wait okay?" Aoshi looked at me, his eyes still eery.
"Come this way." His words were simple as I followed him to the den and Kenshin and Misao down another hall. "Yahiko will accompany you. I am afraid that I would not make good company." I could believe that very easily.
Yahiko followed me in the den and sat down. "I heard that you know a sword fighting style."
"Yeah. I heard that you are learning to be a ninja." Yahiko nodded.
"I would rather be a sword fighter though. You think you could teach me? My dad says that his technique is too hard for someone of my age."
"Yeah. By the way, I heard that you were Aoshi's son but not Misao's. Why is that."
"Well you see, and they don't know that I know this, but one night I heard them talking. They said that when my dad was about twenty-one he went to a party and had sex with some woman that he didn't know. He wasn't as stuck up as he is now, as you can tell, and so I was born. He never knew about me until I showed up on his doorstep with a note from my real mother. Obviously she didn't want me." he looked into the other room to see if anyone was listening, "They don't know that I figured out that I was a mistake so don't say anything to them." I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him, even though he really didn't know it.
"I prefer surprise."
"No I was no surprise, I was definately a mistake."
"No. My dear boy. You were definately a surprise." I turned to see Aoshi next to us, as if he just popped up there magically. "Just because I wasn't expecting you to show up, doesn't mean that you were a mistake." it was odd to hear such a tall, scary-looking, man talk so fatherly. I guess I had to get used to that though. "Kaoru, Kenshin and Misao are done talking. You can go and see them now." I nodded and walked into the room that I saw them enter before.
"Ah. Kaoru. You need to get to know my sister do you not?" Kenshin stood up and greeted me to my seat.
"Yes. I would like that Kenshin. I haven't heard much of you Ms. Misao."
"As though it would seem."
