Yeah! Atlen has agreed to proofread my story again! Sadly I haven't gotten
a chance to get it to her yet. But I feel like I should post something
because I've been writing for almost 4 hours straight now... I'm not kidding.
Here are two more chapters and this will me my last post until Atlen has a
chance to proofread it for me. Again I would like to thank the reviewers
before continuing!
Ms. Zeal – Glad to see you found my sequel and I hope it pleases you as much as Kenshin Lost at Sea did! As to your question about Suiso you'll have to keep reading!
narakunohime - I hope you'll find the rest of the story as interesting as the first part!
Chapter 3 – Senko; A Girl From Kenshin's Past
"Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin asked surprised himself to see her here. "What are you doing here?"
Kaoru gathered herself; she was determined not to cry in front of strangers. "You didn't tell me where you were going and I was worried." Kaoru said speaking the truth because she couldn't think of a believable lie.
"Kenshin who is she?" Senko asked still hugging him.
Senko's father looked from the Rurouni to the girl. "Perhaps we should talk about this inside. Please why don't we all go in and have a drink?"
Kenshin sat with Senko on his right and Kaoru on his left. On Senko's left Unmei sat quietly eyeing the strange raven haired girl. Senko's father sat on Kaoru's left and was the first to speak. "Well Senko why don't you tell the young lady here your relationship with Kenshin?" He put the burden of speaking on Senko because he knew she would speak from her heart and would be truthful and he also knew Kenshin would be even less comfortable than he already was talking about himself.
Senko wrung her hands wishing not to relive that time in her life but spoke calmly like it was nothing. "About eight years ago a man named Suiso took me and Unmei from our home and held us captive on his ship."
"Eight years." Kaoru thought. "This is before Kenshin and I met."
Senko continued. "After a short time my brother and I got separated. He was able to get free, but I was still trapped on the ship. I thought that I would never see my home again but then Kenshin came. Suiso had power over the wind and at first I didn't think Kenshin would be able to stop him." Senko blushed. "But he did. Suiso went nuts and set the ship on fire. I got trapped below deck and I thought I was going to die but Kenshin came and saved me yet again and got me off the ship. I was even reunited with my brother and brought home before Kenshin left." Senko said with a smile and then with a frown.
Kaoru sighed. "So she is just someone he helped." She thought. She had been worried that Kenshin had a secret love before they had met.
Unmei yawned. "It's getting late." He said. "You two should stay here tonight. But I got to get home or Maki will be furious at me." He stood and left.
Arrangements were made so that Kaoru would sleep in Unmei's old bedroom and Kenshin got the spare room. "Kenshin?" Kaoru asked questionably in front of a closed door.
"You can come in Miss Kaoru." Kaoru entered and found Kenshin folding his maroon Haori. He looked up at her. "Can I help you with something Miss Kaoru?"
"Kenshin why didn't you just tell me?" She saw Kenshin's lavender eyes dart away from her. "I would have understood."
Kenshin didn't know what to say when there was a knock on the door saving him from an explanation. "Come in." He said and Senko entered the room holding a package. She walked toward Kenshin and trust the package under his nose.
"This... this is for you." She said a little nervous.
"For me?" Kenshin took it from her and un-wrapped it. Inside was a brand new gi.
"I went back to the shop that sold this cloth and I bought some so I could replace the clothes you lost because of me." She said shyly.
"Thank you very much Miss Senko." Kenshin said with a smile as Kaoru rose to her feet. "Miss Kaoru?"
"I'm going to bed now Kenshin. It's alright I'll see you in the morning." She looked to Kenshin then to Senko. "You did a good job making that."
Senko blushed. "Thank-you." Kaoru then left the two alone hoping that Kenshin would see that she trusted him.
"Well I guess I should get to bed too." Senko said a little while after Kaoru had left. "Goodnight Kenshin." She said with a smile and a wave goodnight. Kenshin did the same.
Sorry this is such a boring chapter but I wanted to have a "recap" chapter to explain what happened in Kenshin Lost at Sea for anyone who didn't read it.
