Amber Eyes

Chapter 19: The Talk

Summary Not that it actually needs explaining but it is a chapter when Kaoru and Misao talk.

I walked down the hall to find my husband and sister-in-law. The two of them were laughing and talking like I had never seen Kenshin. I was very glad to see him so happy in his life. Everytime he smiled at me with his beautiful grin I felt like I wanted to squeal. If Kenshin is happy, I am happy, if I am happy, Kenshin is happy. That was always how it was.
"Hello Misao, Kenshin."
"Hello Koishii. Misao and I were waiting for you."
"Yes and Kenshin, now it is time for you to go." Misao laughed at him as he walked out of the room. He knew that the girl talk was coming, and he was worried about what I would know by the end of the conversation. And oh how much I knew. I knew so many things to embarass him with later on. I knew about him wetting the bed until he was eight, about how he once pooped his pants in school. I am so glad I didn't have siblings, because there would be so much that he could know about me that I was emberassed to think about it.
"Oh and by the way Misao, thank you for the candles that you set up by our bed. That was very pretty."
"You are very welcome. I wanted to set up everything that I didn't get on my wedding night, but I wasn't going to go that far." the comment she made caused it difficult for me to keep a straight face. "So how did you two meet anyways?"
"You are going to think this is so horrible but, I was about eight when Kenshin's father killed mine, and I saw the whole thing. When I turned eighteen, I learned my father's fighting style and went to kill him. It was kind of love at first sight when I saw him though. I found out that his father died and became friends with him. Then I fell for him."
"That is.... different. Oh well, if that was my father that died I would want to kill him too."
"You wanna hear something funny?" she leaned closer as I told her, "When I was taking Kenshin back to Tokyo he was worried that people would think he was his dad so I dressed him up like a girl so that he could sneak through town. He had lots of hot guys wanting him!" The two of us fell out of our chairs laughing our heads off as Kenshin walked in the door.
"I am worried as what you two were talking about in here." I couldn't keep a straight face while looking at him, all I could think about was when I dressed him up like a woman. I fell over laughing again, and so did Misao. "I am not going to leave you two alone anymore. That I am not."
"Misao, Yahiko said that he wanted to learn the Kamiya Kashin style of swordsmanship. I could teach him if you two don't mind."
"I don't think that Aoshi would mind. Yeah you can teach him when you go back home. You two should enjoy your honemoon."
"Speaking of which Kaoru, we should get going. I would like to be home a little bit each night."
"You haven't changed big brother. So what have you been doing since your father ran away."
"Ran away? Sister my father died."
"Oh no, they didn't tell you did they." All of the sudden the beatiful day thatI wa having came crashing down on me. "Kenshin, they told you he died so that you wouldn't go looking for him. The doctor you spoke to was my father. That's why I went home with him that day."
"So all this time that I thought I was living out of my father's rath, he has been out there hiding?" his eyes swirled of amber and violet, it was worrying me. I had no idea what he would do next. But it happily surprised me when he took a deep breath, ridding the sight of his creepy eyes. "I am sorry I lied to you koishii. I really thought that he was dead." He looked down at me as if he just plain out lied. I knew he didn't though.
"Kenshin, he is not here now, that is all that matters. It only matters that we are together now. Come on, lets go back to the cabin, it is getting late." Kenshin nodded and stood up, as Misao apologized over and over for having to tell us the bad news.
We walked out of the house and back up to the cabin, claiming that we would come back to visit. I wanted to go home and take a nap. It had been a very long day for both of us, and that is exactly what we did. We slept.
The next morning Kenshin was the one worried about me though. I was the one getting sick, but it wasn't food poisoning. It was a good thing that I was sick. I was another symbol of happiness.
