Kitty: -__-;;; she has a point. If there was a way to get rid of alter egos I would have rid myself of you looooong ago.

Kat: Whoa, while we were plotting against my other self I almost forgot that I was updating a story!

RKD: How silly of us.

Kat: Wait, remind me again, why am I updating?

RKD: Because, I quote from a certain review, "Hurry up and write more! NOW!" that is why. ^____^

Kat: Ah, yes. Some people can be so pushy, but no matter. It's reviews that keep this story going after all.

RKD: that they do and we really appreciate receiving them all ^____^ that we do.

Whispering Sunshine

Chapter Six:

Prying Too Deep

The sun shone brightly on the courtyard of the Kamiya dojo. It was another beautiful fall day.

"Sachi?"

Sachi turned her head to face the voice. She nodded her acknowledgement to the person that she was listening as she continued to scrub dirty laundry.

"Sachi, I've been meaning to ask you..." Kenshin wiped the soap bubbles off of his working hands unto a clean apron.

Sachi tilted her head.

"I don't mean any offense to you, and I don't mean to pry into your past life, that I don't. But I need to know, do you know who 'the boss' is that those men mentioned?"

Sachi shook her head as she continued scrubbing. Kenshin sat down another basket of dirty laundry and joined her in the task.

"Did he use you?"

Sachi's head jerked up and she remained rigidly still for a split second before turning back to the laundry.

"Sachi, it's okay. I just want to know so I can better protect you..." Kenshin held her chin in his hand. Even though her eyes were not functioning, and were covered behind a blindfold, he could still feel them burning through him. He quickly pulled his hand back. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. It's not my business, that it is not." He felt ashamed as he scrubbed the stain out of a napkin. 'Why am I being such a fool? I've never suddenly jumped into a stranger's past before...'

Sachi's head once again popped up, only this time she was smiling as the door to the dojo creaked open. Kenshin smiled. "Kaoru-dono, Sanosuke! Glad you're home, that I am. How was---O-R-O-o-o-!" Kenshin rubbed his cheek were a purple bruise was starting to form.

"Thanks a lot, Kenshin!" Sano scoffed from behind a large assortment of stuff from the market. His fist was still quivering in the air from where it had hit its mark.

Kaoru giggled. "You should have seen him! It was so much fun! We had a blast, didn't we Sano?" She slyly bumped the humiliated man.

"Don't push it, jou-chan." Sano barked out between clenched teeth.

"Ooh, stop being so silly. You know you had fun. Actually, Kenshin, I think that Sano looks more handsome in a kimono than his old outfit!" Her smile almost exceeded her face. "Yipe!" She dodged a blow from the furious rooster head.

"Well, maybe if they had been ordinary kimonos they might have not been so bad, but N-O-O-O! We had to try on GIRLY kimonos!!!!!" He shouted back at her.

"Sano, would you like a little cheese with your whine?" Kenshin pointed out with his rurouni smile plastered across his face. Clearly they were having a great time poking fun at the ex-macho-fighter-for hire. "Oro!" Kenshin exclaimed as another punch from Sano sent his eyes a spinning.

Sachi giggled as she heard the whole commotion.

"Hey Sano, have fun in town?" Yahiko jumped up beside the freeloader.

"Get away from me kid." Sano gritted his teeth. "Today is NOT THE DAY to be messing with me."

"No day is the right day for you..." Yahiko crossed his arms.

"That's it! I've had enough! I'm going to the Akabeko!" Sano dropped everything in his arms on the dojo's veranda. "And don't even THINK about following me!" He yelled as he slammed the dojo gate shut.

"So, what really went on in town?" Kenshin's eyes finally were able to function straight.

Kaoru giggled hysterically. "Maybe I'll tell you some other time." She straightened up and extended her hand. "C'mon Sachi, try on these new clothes." Sachi had a look of utter horror as she was dragged into the abyss known as Kaoru's endless closet. She could've sworn she heard an organ play some ominous music, but then again, maybe she was just imagining things.

Kat: What outfit will become Sachi's trademark attire?

RKD: What really happened in town?

Kat: What insanity shall be next?

RKD: only if you review will you find out!!!!

Kat: Oh, and someone mentioned in a review something about 'Is this a Sano/Sachi pairing?' lemme just answer that 0___o whoooooooa my bleep, I hope not!!!!!!!!! It may have appeared that way, but Sachi just loves everybody at the Kamiya dojo right now. She's not to sure about Kaoru's cooking though.....

RKD: But let this be foreshadowing: Sachi shall sometime in this story regain her eyesight. She looks around the room, and fear strikes her heart, as she remebers the face of the one who murdered her future by killing her father. Can Sachi bring herself to save the life of the very person who shattered her own???????

Kat: Wow, that was a little deeper than what I planned to reveal.

RKD: Hey, they'll know sooner or later, that they will. I just want to keep them guessing about the mystery character and keep them coming back to this story, that I do.

Kat: -___- whoo-ya that's a real doozy of a mystery.....

RKD: Well, who knows? It could have been me, that it could.

Kat: Except for the fact that you're a fictional character.

RKD: Hey, lets not go there. Don't forget Sachi, and even you are a fictional character.

Kat: Ooooh, my bleep. I keep forgetting about that. I keep forgetting about...

Together: DUM DUM DUM! The mastermind behind the computer!!!!!!

Kat: *thoughtfully* I wonder if she has anymore cake.....

RKD: ^ ^* DID have any more cake ^_____^

Kat: Hmm, wait a second. This is fanfiction! All I have to do is type it, and WALLA! Cake! ^____^

RKD: Yummy! What kind is it?

Kat: *tastes the cake* mmmm, devils food flavored chocolate cake

RKD: ^_______^ *drools* mmmmm! My favorite! My favorite! Gimme some!

Kat: easy there, rurouni. It's my fav to.

RKD: Hey, with your power to type stuff up and have them magically appear, and my brains, we could create a real good trap for Kitty, that we could! ^____^

Kat: hey....you're right....

RKD: Well, we must go, that we must.

Kat: Must go and devise a mastermind and foolproof plan

MWA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
