Hey everyone, I'm SO SORRY I haven't updated in a LONG time! How long has
it been- a week, maybe two? Ah well, I sorta didn't know what to put next.
In addition, the whole Repeated Love story is almost finished- Repeated
Love was part one and this (Shinta's Return) is part two. I wouldn't count
on a part three..

"You're a work of pop art, wanna hang you on the wall," Misao sang. "You're a funkydory, baby. Baby that's all." Misao sang loud (and bad) enough for Kaoru to hear her halfway up the stairs in Misao's new house in Japan. Kaoru knocked on Misao's door. "Ram, slam!" Misao said. Kaoru assumed Misao was occupied with the song so Kaoru just opened the door. Kaoru tapped her cousin's shoulder.
"Oh, hi!" Misao said. "I thought I heard someone knocking on the door." "Well, yeah," Kaoru said. "That would've been me." "Where's Kenshin?" Misao asked putting her CD player away. "Recording session," Kaoru answered. "After that, he has a concert." "Are you going?" Misao asked. "Kenshin probably doesn't want me to come," Kaoru sadly answered. "He thinks I'm going to go with Shinta." "Who are you going with?" Misao asked. "I don't know," Kaoru said. "The decision's too hard. I'm married to Kenshin, but I originally love Shinta." "I'm so glad there's only one Aoshi-sama," Misao happily said. "but it would be nice to have two have them... hmmm.." "You're not helping," Kaoru said. "Sorry," Misao said. "Anyway- let's go downstairs and see what Aoshi-sama's up to right now!" "Okay," Kaoru said.
"So, what song were you listening to anyway?" Kaoru asked. "Funkydory by Rachel Stevens," Misao answered. Kaoru rolled her eyes. "Why does everyone like her so much? " she asked. "She and her songs are inappropriate-" "In your opinion," Misao 'finished'. "The rest of us- who actually have a life- " "Hey!" Kaoru said. "Are you saying I don't have a life?" Misao shrugged and raced ahead of her cousin, laughing. "Come back here!" Kaoru called after her. She smiled and began to run after her.
One of the things Kaoru absolutely loved about visiting Misao was that she can forget about her troubles and worries and have a good time. "Shhh," Aoshi said from the living room. "Another oiling refinery blew up in Turkey!" Kaoru and Misao stopped playing tag and stared at him. "So?" Kaoru asked. "So, it's important!" Aoshi said. "Can't I please watch the news in peace?" "Alright," Misao said. "C'mon, Kaoru. Let's go get something to eat." "Okay," Kaoru said as she followed Misao into the kitchen.
"Whose side do you want to take?" Misao asked Kaoru as she looked in the refrigerator. "Probably neither," Kaoru answered. "I might just start a whole new life all by myself." "That's a brave thing to say," Misao said. "But what I would do is sit and wait for the right sign to come." Kaoru never realised Misao was so smart. "You rock!" Kaoru said as she hugged her cousin and ran out the door. "Wait!" Misao called after her. "Don't you want some ice cream?" Kaoru shut the door. "I guess that a no," Misao said with a sigh. "Oh well! That's more Cookies N' Cream ice cream for me! And the ice cream's from Blue Bunny!"
Kaoru patiently waited the whole day for something to come to her. Nothing new came to her house- except for Megumi and a larger mattress for Sano {and Megumi}-ew.
Kaoru decided maybe something would come at night- and something did come at night. Kaoru rolled over in her bed and was just about to go to sleep when someone or something called her name. Kaoru sat up. "Who's there?" she called. "Kaoru," it called again. This time, Kaoru recognized the voice. It was Shinta's voice. "You can come in," Kaoru called. Instead of the door opening, a ghost-like figure appeared in front of her- and he looked like Shinta! Kaoru opened her mouth to scream, but before she could, Shinta spoke. "Please don't scream," he said. "I don't want to scare you."
"This isn't a joke," Kaoru said. "What do you need?" "It's me," Shinta said. "I know it's you," Kaoru said. "Why aren't you asleep- and why are dressed like a ghost?" "Kaoru," Shinta said. "I am a ghost. I'm dead, remember? I died many months ago and I was murdered by a bunch of goons." "If you're dead," Kaoru said. "Who's the man living in my house?" "That I cannot unveil to you," Shinta said. "All I can tell you is that I am dead and this other man who calls himself Shinta isn't Shinta." "Who is he?" Kaoru asked. "You must figure that out on your own," Shinta said. "You may get help from other people." Another question came into Kaoru's mind. "Will Kenshin forgive me?" she asked. "Maybe, maybe not," Shinta answered. "It just depends on how you solve this problem." With that, Shinta dissolved into thin air. "Shinta?" she called. "Where'd you go?"

Well, that's the eighth chapter- and again, I apologise for taking so long to update! {Oh, don't forget to review!}
