Run Away
Part- 5
She hadn't seen them since she was 12 or so.
Kaoru closed her eyes as she thought of Nadondi and his grandmother as she dried, oiled, and dressed into the breath taking (to men anyway) kimono. She sniffed it and smelled the light scent of pinewood.
"Hmmm... I think I won't wear a ribbon today. But just in case..." Kaoru thought out loud she grabbed her pink, indigo, and pale green ribbons and placed them inside her belt.
Kaoru walked outside and put on her shoes and walked to the main room. (Where ever the freak that is)
She slide the door open and as she peered inside it seem everyone was there.
There was Hiko (Kenshin's master), Saitou, his wife Tokio, Aioshi, Misao, Tsubame, Kenshin, Sano, etc. Yahiko was the closest to the door and so Kaoru went to him. He was stuffing his face with food Tokio had prepared.
"Hey Yahiko I'm gonna be gone for a while okay. I'll be back in about a week or so." Kaoru whispered to him.
"What...ever... You should really learn how to cook Kaoru this is great!" Yahiko said in between his 2-second pause to shove more of the delicious food down his mouth.
Kaoru hit the back of his headand got a bit of a delayed reaction from Yahiko. It seemed everyone didn't notice Kaoru's existence until Saitou looked up.
He notice what she was wearing and simply thought the raccoon didn't look so bad with her hair down and a nice flamboyant kimono on. He 'humph' the thought away as he remembered he had a wife. But not before making a mental note.
'Note to self. Get wife a kimono like the raccoon girl, yet different.'
Aioshi was the next to and last to notice.
'Not bad. That look really fits her. I wonder what idiot she's stuck with here.' He thought to himself.
As if Saitou heard his thought they both looked up and starred at each other for a bit and shared silent words then turned their direction towards Kenshin and Sano. Both were still eating not even noticing Kaoru came in. Both Aioshi and Saitou shook their heads in shame.
Neither Sano nor Kenshin looked up until they heard the door closed.
They saw the figure of Kaoru walking away towards the gate. But neither one of them got up. They just simply pushed the thought away and continued eating.
'They're idiots all right, real idiots.' Saitou thought.
'What a bunch of ahou's (morons in Japanese). They didn't even notice her.' Aioshi thought in disgust. 'They didn't even go check to see where she's going.' Aioshi added.
Once again Saitou and Aioshi shook their heads.
Meanwhile...
Kaoru walked along the dirt road.
Forgetting she ever owed Kenshin or Sano for anything as stupid as giving her back her robe and towel. But really that is a dumb reason though when you think about it.
She walked past the big tree with beautiful white blossoms. She turned and walked to the edge of the river.
Random thoughts ran through her head. She remembered things that she had nearly forgotten.
Like the time Nadondi was dead set determined to ride Star (His grandmother's horse from hell.) and he had got on him one time and was hanging on for dear life trying to stay on. By the time Star had gotten done with him he was wet and covered in horse crap from his head to the inside of his shoes.
Or the time Kaoru was trying to put make up on her when she was only 6 and Nadondi snuck up on her trying to scar her, but when he jumped up and shouted 'Boo!' when he saw Kaoru's face he got so scared he ran away crying out all the way.
Kaoru laughed at that memory.
He ended up making her cry her heart out. She shook her head to rid the memory from her mind.
So many fun memories she ever had were either spent with her father or with Nadondi. He was like the brother she never had as much as Yahiko was. And whenever he was with him she felt strong and confident.
Something she haven't really felt and sensed, yetshe really did have it. She was lost in thoughts and memories. When all the sudden a voice from behind he came.
"Wow! Grandma's kimono does suit you."
A/N- Who's the mysterious voice? I know I know do you. If you don't stick around and find out! Even review to find out. Hey you can't blame an author for trying to get some reviews.
ShoutOut! List I would like to shout out to... ToHeLlWiThThEnIcKs (Hey thanks for reviewing me like you always do. And yes you are my #1 because you supported me since the second Run-Away first laid eyes on the Internet. Giving me courage and letting me know when something is wrong. Thanks Truly.) ShadowRaven13 (Sorry to disappoint you, but I have read your stories. Look in your reviews for Sabella Pan and look in on your fav list for Animeworldgoddess and you will see I did review you. And not to be making excuses, but frankly I don't care about your flame because I'll only use it to heat my dinner! And if you don't see anything worth your reading then why in the hell do you keep reading this? It makes no sense. You just keep reading something you flame. But then again I can get what you're saying. But you gotta realize everyone write differently. They sound with no heart now, but later this does get deep and yet still funny. The whole Yahiko thing is a misunderstanding because when I was younger, when Ruroni Kenshin first came out, that was how I thought it was spelled and just this year I'm finding out otherwise. So cut me some slack. Plus I'm practically sortta new at the whole fanfic writing concept. And as for the short chapters they get longer later, that's a guarantee, but um for know I'm typing what I've written and trying to add more to the story as I go because believe it or not these chapters were shorter than this once upon a time.) InuAngl (Thanks for sparing me! And glad you likey being in my shout out list) Mav 1 (Glad you likey and you're so sweet with the complements. You make me almost forget about my one flame.)
Well I hate repeating myself, but if you want to get or be in the shout out list just review or email me any comments (Good or bad) or questions you have and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
You know what I've been so caught up in serving you more parts to this story that I forgot I have to give you previews.
Preview:
