Chapter 5: One roof, six victims

-_- "I'm fine Sano," Kaoru said for the tenth time.

"Are you sure?" he asked again quizzically.

"Sano, I'm sure miss Kaoru is fine." Said Kenshin.

"But she looked like she had been crying Kenshin! Don't you get it?"

"Well, it's getting late. Maybe I should show you all to where you will be sleeping?" I suggested.

Kaoru, relieved to have me change the subject said "Of coarse."

"Unfortunately I only have two extra bed rooms. So, 3 of you are going to have to sleep on the floor or on one of the couches or something." I told them. "Well, Megumi and Kaoru can sleep in the extra bed rooms, and the boys can sleep on the floor or couch or chair."

Yahiko and Sano in unison both say "Darn."

We walk down the hallway to the first room. "This one can be Megumi's." I said.

It was a green room with two windows. It had two dressers and a bed in the corner.

"This is a bed. Here we sleep on these instead of floor mats." I tell them. (I know this sounds awful basic, but they really may not have seen one before. I don't know, I don't exactly live in Japan in the 1800's.)

"And where exactly is "here"?" asked Yahiko.

"You are currently in Cincinnati Ohio." I told them.

There was a pause.

"It's in the United States." I say.

"Oh! Yes the United States!" says Sano.

There was another pause.

"Where is that?" Sano asks.

We all "face fault" or "anime fall". (Where you fall over due to a dumb comment.)

We walked upstairs and turned left.. "This is where Kaoru can sleep." I said.

It was a cream colored room with a star bordering. It had one dresser and a bed beneath the window.

"Across the hall is my room." I told them.

My room was purple with 2 dressers. (I have a lot of junk) It had one window, and a bed on the left side. It has a sword hanging by the closet door.

We went back downstairs. I pulled out three sleeping bags from the hall closet for Sano, Yahiko, and Kenshin.

"Okay, here are your sleeping bags." I said as I handed them to them.

"I get the chair!" said Yahiko.

"I get the sofa." Said Sano.

Kenshin was left standing in the middle of the room holding his sleeping bag.

"Well, I guess Kenshin get the floor tonight." I said. "Maybe tomorrow you all can trade off. I'm going to bed everyone. Goodnight!"

(Kenshin's POV)

Kenshin couldn't sleep. He had a headache.

I have to get some fresh air. Perhaps the roof will give me a place to lay down. He walked to the deck outside. Being an expert jumper he quickly had himself on the roof.

It's beautiful tonight. Not a cloud in the sky. But the stars aren't bright. Are we really so far away that the stars have dimmed?

There was a rustle in the tree next to the roof. He looked over to find the source of the noise.

"Lady Kaoru? What are you doing up so late?" he asked her.

"I heard you walking around downstairs. Then I heard you come up here." She said.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" he asked.

"No, it's just that I couldn't sleep is all. What are you up for Kenshin?"

He looked up. "I was just admiring the stars."

"They are so beautiful tonight." she said looking up.

Kenshin looked up. They are nice. but not nearly as beautiful as Kaoru. No, I mustn't think such things. she is far to wonderful for me. Yet I love her so much.

(Changes back to my POV)

He looked at Kaoru for a moment then looked away.

I could see all this through the binoculars I was using in the tree next to the roof.

"Boy they're slow." Says a voice from behind me.

"Akk! What are you doing up here Yahiko?" I Ask.

"We're spying, just like you." Says Sano.

"Where did you two- Why are you- Oh, forget it." -_- When did they get up here? For indeed I did not know they were behind me. "Go away. I'm the only one aloud to spy on them. Buzz off."

"Listen Leslie, we have as much right to be up here as you do." Yahiko said stubbornly.

"You know," I said. "I don't think this branch can hold much more weight-"

"You know, if I were sir ken, I wouldn't be too happy you were spying on my," Megumi said as she popped up behind us.

CRACK!

"Oh no.." I said as the branch gave way.

We all let out various yells as the branch falls.

"What on earth.?" said Kaoru as she heard us yell.

THUD!!!

"Lucky Sano broke our fall."

@_@ "Owie." said Sano.

Kenshin and Kaoru look over the edge of the roof down at us. We are all in a pile with Sano on the bottom, his eyes spinning.

"What were you all doing in that tree? Were you spying or something?" asked Kaoru down to us.

"It was their idea1' we all said at once with each of us pointing to someone else there. Kenshin and Kaoru sweat dropped.

(My cat had snuck up behind Kenshin) "Meow!" it says loudly.

"Oro!" Kenshin says as he looses his balance and falls over the edge of the roof.

THUD!

Kaoru looks down at him. "Kenshin! Are you okay-Ekk!" She had just lost her balance.

Kenshin snapped out of his stupor just in time to see Kaoru falling towards him. He jumps up and catches her, but in the process is slammed against the ground again.

Kenshin says "Oro." @____@

"Kenshin? Kenshin, are you okay? Say something!" Kaoru yells desperately as she shakes him.

"Orooooo."
