----------
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping at a nearby tree. I almost couldn't recognize where I was. The Kamiya dojo was where I had spent my last night at. I dressed up and walked down the corridor to the sitting area.
Sanosuke and Yahiko were fighting over the last bit of breakfast as usual, and Kaoru was sweeping the floor. Kenshin was clearing up the dishes and Saito appears to be smoking a cigarette (again!) outside the dojo.
Kenshin: Good morning, Yuki-dono.
Me: Good morning everyone. Looks like I've missed breakfast.
Kenshin: Don't worry. I can always cook something up for you.
Me: Arigato, Kenshin. But don't bother, I'm not really hungry.
Kaoru: I just received a letter from Okina. He said that Misao and Aoshi left to visit us two days back. They should be here today.
Me: That's nice. I'll have more people to include in my interview, then! And I'll finally get to talk to mysterious Aoshi and bubbly Misao!
Kenshin: Great! It's been some time since we saw them.
-Saito enters the room-
Saito: Aoshi is coming? Sometimes I really wonder whether he or I are the better fighter.
Me: I wonder that too. How come you and Kenshin fight for top spot, while Aoshi and Kenshin fight for top spot as well?
Kenshin: Oro?! Being the best doesn't really matter to me anymore. (Glances at Kaoru)
Saito: You have a point, Yuki-chan. Maybe Aoshi and I could battle one day. I would love to see how good he is. –Smirks- After all, who can beat my Zero stance? (Lights up another cigarette)
Yahiko: I bet Kenshin can! Kenshin can beat anyone!
Sano: Yeah. I put my money on Kenshin as well.
Kenshin: Now, now people. I never ever said I wanted to fight.
-Sano and Yahiko looking disappointed-
Kenshin: But I will prepare beef hot pot for dinner today!
-Misao and Aoshi enters the dojo-
Misao: I hope you will prepare my share!
Kaoru: Misao-chan! It's been such a long time! –Hugs Misao-
Misao: I missed all of you! And look who's come with me? Aoshi-sama! (Aoshi briefly glances at everyone)
Kenshin: Aoshi. I hope you've been well.
Aoshi: Yes. Everything's been going well between me and the Oni gang.
Kaoru: Aoshi, Misao, I would like to introduce my friend, Yuki-san to you. She's staying here for a few days to observe our lifestyle and interview us.
Misao: (Grins widely) I'm Misao, and that's Aoshi! We're both members of the Oni gang! Nice to meet you! –We shake hands-
Me: Nice to meet you too! I've wanted to meet the both of you for a long time! (Smiles)
-Aoshi just stares-
Saito: Aoshi... It's been a long time, no? Since Shishio's stronghold.
Aoshi: (Face expression changes) Yes, Saito. I clearly remember everything that has happened.
Saito: Perhaps you and I could battle one day. (Takes a drag on his cigarette) Afterall, we both want to fight Kenshin for top place.
Aoshi: (Eye twitches) Perhaps you're right.
Kenshin: Oro?! Please, people, we're not here to fight today.
Saito: Who said anything about today? (Throws cigarette butt on the floor)
Sano: Well I could fight all day! (Cracks knuckles)
Me: Err. Why don't we just wait for dinner peacefully?
Misao: Yeah! I haven't spoke to all of you for so long. How have all of you been?
Yahiko: (Proudly) Well, busu says my technique is improving!
Kaoru: But not good enough!
Yahiko: We'll see about that!
Kaoru: Yahiko-chan. (Giggles)
Yahiko: I'M NOT A SMALL BOY! IT'S JUST "YAHIKO"!
-Misao and Kaoru both giggle-
Kenshin: Kaoru-dono, do you mind helping me in the kitchen?
Sano: There goes our delicious meal.
Kaoru: Hai, Kenshin. I'm coming.
-Kaoru leaves the room-
Me: Misao-chan, so how are you and Aoshi?
Misao: (Blushes) Well... Aoshi-sama and I-
Aoshi: That's a personal thing, Yuki-dono.
Misao: What do you mean by that, Aoshi-sama? Are you embarrassed of our relationship?
Aoshi: No... It's just that... Fine. Sorry, Misao. It's okay to tell.
Misao: Aoshi-sama and I are together!
Sano: Nani!?
Saito: -Smirks- I should have seen that coming.
Yahiko: You... and twin blade guy? Oh my goodness.
Me: I think that the two of you are very sweet together. (Smiles)
Misao: I'm glad someone thinks so! -Aoshi looking restless-
Me: I'm hungry. I wonder why Kenshin's taking so long. Maybe I could help in the kitchen too.
-I begin to walk into the kitchen, but just as I was entering, I overheard Kenshin and Kaoru's conversation! (Not on purpose!)
Kenshin: Kaoru-dono... Mind passing me the carrots?
Kaoru: Oh, sure, Kenshin.
Kenshin: Arigato, Kaoru-dono. Have you... Have you thought about what I said last night?
Kaoru: What did you say, Kenshin? (Looking embarrassed)
Kenshin: Well... T-That I want to be with you.
Kaoru: I-I... Kenshin... Do you really want to be with me?
Kenshin: Kaoru-dono, I won't lie to you.
Kaoru: But what about the others? Do you want to tell them?
Kenshin: I think they will figure out soon enough. But I don't care about what they think.
Kaoru: Kenshin... I want to be with you too. (Cheeks turn red)
Kenshin: Kaoru-dono. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment.
-Kenshin and Kaoru pull into a hug-
Kaoru: Well, we better get dinner started. Sano and Yahiko might start getting restless.
Kenshin: I think you're right, Kaoru-dono. But before that...
-Kenshin gives Kaoru a kiss on her cheek-
Kenshin: I love you, Kaoru-dono. (Smiles cheekily)
-I quickly run down the hall back to the sitting area and pretend as if nothing happened.-
-----------
Well, this is the fourth chapter. I tried to make this a little longer, though. This story's ending soon! -Sob- About another two or three chapters more! But personally, I think this chapter's pretty retarded. Lol. Please read and review! Thanks!
