Chapter four

"Yahiko?" Tsubame looked worried. "What's going on?"

"I have no idea. They're fighting about something though…"

"The execution." Tae answered. She rolled up her sleeves to help the two with dishes. "Kaoru supports the death sentence, but Kenshin doesn't."

Yahiko glanced downward. "I see."

"Who's side are you on, Yahiko?" Tae asked.

"No ones. If there's evidence saying that he did it, then he did it and he should get his just reward. Even if the guys dead though, I don't think anyone will be happy. I guess I'm neutral here." Yahiko answered.

"Same here." Tsubame sighed. "I wish that everyone thought like you Yahiko, you're so smart."

Yahiko blushed. "Err! That is…" Samurai pride took over. "Yeah, you're right! They should be more like me!"

Tae smiled. ::If everyone thought like Yahiko, I think too many people would have a bokkon with them 24/7.::

Tsubame smiled as well. "You're so funny Yahiko!"

Tae's smile widened. ::Ah, young love. So sweet…::

Kenshin's hand rested on his cheek. Kaoru had just slapped him. HIM. How did it happen? It was all because Kenshin had said that she was wrong and stupid. Where did THAT come from? If Battousai had it his way, Kaoru would be six feet under by now, and Rurouni would never even dream of doing such a thing to dear Kaoru! He had acted like a child. Then, it hit him. Shinta.

The child had been locked inside his heart, and finally broke out, calling Kaoru stupid. Of all the wrong things to happen at the wrong time, this one definitely walked away a winner. He couldn't stand being at the Akebeko, he ran. Yes, Kenshin 'Battousai the Manslayer' Himura, ran away. "What have I done?"

"I'm guessing something stupid, seeing as your miles away from Tokyo and moping." Kenshin looked at the speaker. Saitou. "So, what did you do?"

"I…" Kenshin's eyes narrowed. "I don't have to tell you."

"Battousai-"

"I don't wanna tell you!" Kenshin's hands flew to his mouth. The way he had said that sounded even more childish then when he called Kaoru stupid!

Saitou arched an eyebrow. "Wow, you really do have problems."

Kenshin nodded.

"Are you gonna tell me what they are?"

Kenshin shook his head.

"Are you going to talk any time soon?"

Kenshin shook his head.

"…Did you know the raccoon is chasing you?"

Saitou pointed behind Kenshin, and he turned to see Kaoru. Without thinking, Kenshin put his hand on Saitou's mouth and pushed him behind a bush to hide. "Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…"

"Whoa, raccoon looks like she's just about ready to burst into tears! What did you do? Call her stupid?" Kenshin paled. "Wow, you know, she'll never forgive you for this."

Kenshin nodded.

"Did she slap you?"

Kenshin nodded.

"Did you say sorry?"

Kenshin shook his head.

"And that's why you're an idiot." Saitou glanced over the bushes. "She went ahead, I'm gonna light up." Kenshin nodded and Saitou lit his cigarette.

"I said such terrible things to her." Kenshin began.

"The raccoon?"

Kenshin glared at Saitou. "Her name is KAORU."

Saitou burst out laughing. "Geez, did you…? Boy, you got it BAD."

"Got what bad?" Kenshin asked.

"Love." Saitou answered. "Quick and simple. So, you're arguing, right? You feel one way about this, she feels the other, you're both too stubborn to give up and now you've got your friends involved."

"How did you know?"

"During our fourth week of marriage, Tokio and I-"

"No. How did you know I love her?"

Saitou sighed and leaned back. "How could I not know? It's painfully obvious, so much so I think it killed a couple people back in Kyoto."

"Not funny." Kenshin replied dryly.

"I thought it was." Saitou responded. "Anyways, it's hard to not tell. You love her, and you know it. She loves you too, you know."

Kenshin was blushing. "I called her stupid like a child…"

"I called Tokio a witch and a hag, she kicked me out of the house for an hour, then came back crying saying it was her fault and that she was sorry. And you know what ended up happening?" Saitou asked.

Kenshin thought for a moment. "You said 'You're right', she got mad and you slept outside for a month?"

Saitou arched an eyebrow. "…I don't even want to know how you came up with that conclusion. No, our first son was born nine months later." Kenshin's blush deepened. "As a man, you gotta learn how to back off; after all, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Kenshin, believe me, do not run away."

"…You called me by my name." Kenshin looked like he was about to cry.

Saitou rolled his eyes. "Oh GROW UP!"

Misao could feel the tears threatening to fall. After Kaoru went after Kenshin, she secluded herself to the shrine steps. What she had done, saying those things to Kaoru… That was just as wrong as Kenshin calling Kaoru stupid and Kaoru slapping Kenshin. "I'm a terrible person."

"No, you're a child, Misao." Misao jumped then relaxed after seeing Aoshi. "May I join you?"

"Sure." Aoshi sat next to Misao. "…It's okay to be upset, Misao. You can cry if you want."

And Misao did. "I can't believe I did that! I said Himura was right and that Kaoru knew nothing and should be executed herself! Why did I say that? Why couldn't I have said the right thing? Why?!"

Aoshi wrapped his arms around Misao. "It's okay, you just reacted. You did nothing wrong."

"…How is it that you always say what I need to hear?" Misao asked.

Aoshi smiled. "Because no one knows you better then I do."

Misao smiled and yawned. It was late afternoon and sunny, a perfect time for a cat nap. "I hope Kaoru is okay… And I hope Himura comes back with her."

"He will, don't worry…" Aoshi held Misao closer. ::Dear God, I hope I'm right.::

"Kenshin! KENSHIN!" Kaoru thought her voice would leave her after all of the yelling she had done. Had Kenshin jumped a train in desperation to get away from her? Kaoru cried out again: "Kenshin!" Kaoru sobbed. ::Don't leave me, I don't want to be alone again… Not again please!:: "Kenshin, where are you?!"

Kenshin was gasping for air. He had been talking to Saitou for over an hour and he had to do some serious running to catch up with her. "Ms. Kaoru!"

Kaoru turned to Kenshin, tears still streaming down her eyes. "Kenshin!"

Kenshin ran to the younger girl and opened his arms… And Kaoru pounced onto him. She was crying, arms wrapped around his shoulders. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Kaoru, I am so, so sorry."

"Don't ever do this again!" Kaoru sobbed. "Don't ever run away, you big fat stupid jerk!"

"I'll never ever leave you again, Ms. Kaoru." Kenshin sighed in relief. "Never." Kenshin sat up, holding Kaoru in his arms. He rubbed her back, and talked softly to her. ::Yes… I will never wander again, Kaoru. And even if I did, I would always come back to you… Always.::

Two days later, the dispute over and everything back to normal, the dojo was once again peaceful. Until…

WHACK! "OW! What was that for, fox?!"

Megumi growled. "You stupid rooster! I'm OVULATING!"

Sanosuke's eyes widened. And then he fainted.

Kenshin fanned Sanosuke's face with his hand. ::I see that Sano and Saitou think alike… Perhaps a little too much, that they do.::

And so it all ends, with a very interesting outcome. For now, all is peaceful, but soon, surely, another dispute would arise…

Megumi hit Sanosuke with a fan. "We are not naming the baby Sozo!"

Sanosuke rubbed his bump. "Well, we ain't naming it Megami!"

"And why not?!"

"Because it sounds too much like Megumi!"

Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko sweat dropped.

It's over! ...It's over. Wow. ::Sniffle:: Thanks for the reviews, everyone. I still can't believe I broke 20… I hope you all enjoyed the Misao and Aoshi action, as well as Yahiko and Tsubame. …And Sanosuke and Megumi. () I think I may have over killed the humor though… Oh well! Thanks so much for reading, y'all are the best!

Terry-McElrath O.O I love your reviews, I just do... Yes, she hit him. Yes, it was Saitou (As you have seen this chapter. I love Saitou, he's my bish man! ) Was this soon enough? I know that you probably won't see this till the third, but I did post this chap on the second! O.O Wow! I feel more confident in my writing then ever! () Although I probably make Kaoru all guilt trippy with the whole finding Kenshin thing again and saying she's sorry like, a zillion times. But COME ON! If a uber hot red headed bish were leaving you, you'd cry too! You know you would... O.o
