Chapter Two
"Sano? You asked me if I could cook yeah?" said Mizu as she walked along the pathway to the dojo.
"Yeah? So?" He mumbled.
"I can make some really super tofu!" She said.
"Mizu, Any one can make tofu. I can make tofu."
"Then how come you never made it before?" She countered.
"Because I said I could make it, not make it good," He laughed.
Mizu glared at him and growled, "It wasn't funny."
"Oh but it was!" He said.
Suddenly Mizu scrambled up a tree, pulling Sano behind her.
"Hey what are ya doin?" He protested.
"Shut up! Some one's coming!" She whispered sharply.
"Don't worry miss Kaoru, we'll find Sano. I'm sure he didn't mean to run off just as you were fixing dinner," Said a voice
"I'll bet he did. If he had told me, I'd have gone with him!" Said Another voice.
"Shut up you little brat!" Screamed a girl's voice. Then there was a thud and a boy came stumbling out of the bushes, a lump on his head. An angry girl followed close behind him. Then a man with flaming red hair fell out of the bushes, his eyes were swirling around.
CRACK"Uh oh," Said Mizu looking down, she saw that the branch she was on was starting to crack.
"Hold on!" yelled Sano as he reached up and grabbed the branch above him.
"WAAAHH!!" Mizu fell, screaming, out of the tree.
"Hm?" The man with red hair looked up just in time to catch the falling girl. But he wasn't quite fast enough to avoid the branch that cracked under her. It hit him square on the head.
"Oro!" He squeaked out.
"Oh My Gosh!" She yelled out as she crawled out of his arms. "Are you alright sir? I am so sorry about that. It was all Sano's fault. If he just weren't so fat..." Mizu chuckled. "Like I said, my apologies... um... I don't think I caught you name."
"Kenshin..." Said the man.
"She your woman?" Asked Mizu as she jabbed a finger over her shoulder at Kaoru.
"Well..." Kenshin started, "I guess so..."
"That's very sweet. You make a great couple." She chuckled to herself.
"Come on Sano. We've gotta find your dojo." Said Mizu as she proceeded to pull Sano from the tree.
"Mizu, incase you haven't noticed, these are the people that live in the dojo." Explained Sano
"Who are you?" Asked the boy who had gotten whacked over the head.
"Who are you?" Mizu asked him back.
"I'm Yahiko." Said the kid.
"Well I'm Mizuku." She shook his hand politely.
"Kaoru." Said the woman and she also shook Mizu's hand.
"Nice to meet you all." She smiled
"Kenshin," Said Sano "Do you think we have room at the dojo for a friend?"
"Why of course!" Said Kenshin, flashing a rurouni smile, "Friends are always welcome are they not Miss Kaoru?"
"Of Course!!" Said Kaoru, clapping her hands together. "And I made ohagi tonight! Megumi is helping me learn how- Hey! Where do you think you're going?!?" She Looked over her shoulder and saw Kenshin, carrying Yahiko under his arm, Running off into the woods. And Sano, with a very confused Mizu Tucked under his arm, and he was following Kenshin in to the woods.
"Get back here You MORONS!!! KEEEENNNSSSHHIIIIIIINNN!! SSSSAAAAAANOOOOO!!!! YAAHIIIIKKOOOO!!!" She screamed, running off into the woods after them.
(A/N: Honestly, I'm a worse cook that Kaoru. I can't even put a cookie in the microwave without setting it on fire. That happened one time, that it did. I can't even make ramen!! Sad. I know. T.T)
