"We got a place! We got a place!"
Yukito yelled and waved a piece of paper as she raced back into the dojo later that afternoon. When Hanna had finally allowed the dancers to take a break, Yukito had taken off to try and find a house. It hadn't looked very likely she'd find a place for five women and two donkeys, but apparently it was easier then they thought.
"You did it? Guys, Yukito found a place! She did it!"
"As if there were any doubts," Yukito said proudly.
"I doubted it," Hanna said to no one. They ignored her.
"The man I bought it from said we can move in first thing tomorrow!"
"You're leaving already?"
Kaoru sounded disappointed. Utsuki giggled.
"Don't worry, we would never leave without giving a good-bye performance for our new friends! Right girls?"
"I dunno, Hanna the Drill Sergeant just wore our feet to powder, I don't think we can do it tonight Utsuki…"
"Never fear! I'll get something worked out! Just be ready by curtain time!"
Utsuki giggled again. .
.
.
"Okay, is everybody here?"
Utsuki looked over tonight's audience. Mister Kenshin, Mister Sanosuke, Kaoru-san, and Cute Little Yahiko (as the entire dancing group had dubbed him) were seated but Dr. Genzai was still looking for something. Finally, he sat down as well and the show could begin.
"Due to technical difficulties, tonight's main dance is a little different then our usual performances. May I present the two newest honorary members of the Sakura Dancers, Ayami and Suzume!"
Everyone applauded as the two little girls walked out to center stage, dressed in the costumes Utsuki had finished making for them less then an hour ago. Dr. Genzai clapped the loudest for his granddaughters. On cue, Yukito and Nadeshiko began playing background music, and Utsuki lead the young performers through a simple dance she had taught them. It was a big hit, and it took a while before Utsuki could get their attention again.
"Well, now that the main part of the show is over, Kaze will be doing a little solo performance to wrap things up! Ready when you are Kaze-chan!"
Slowly, Kaze entered the stage. She had on a white outfit, with brass decorations designed to look like real gold topping it off.
'That girl does love the color white. And not doing anything. I can't believe she agreed to dance tonight, usually it takes a really huge crowd to get her onstage…'
In her hands Kaze held what looked like a thick white pole in her hands. It was topped off by some brass contraption that jangled whenever it moved. Kaze's own invention, as was the dance she was about to perform.
The room went very quiet as Kaze began.
…
First, a slow but large circle with the brass-topped stick, shaking it purposely to create some background noise. Then some quick strokes, up and down, ending with one going horizontal right at Kaze's eye level.
As she began moving around the stage, Kenshin couldn't figure out why he thought this was so familiar. The way Kaze holding the stick…it was almost like one would hold a sword, so maybe his ability to predict moves was interfering? But it was more like he had seen someone go through this entire sequence once before.
'I believe I would have remembered meeting the Sakura Dancers before. How unusual…'
Kaze's dance came to an artfully designed conclusion, and she bowed and hurried away to the sound of loud applause. Utsuki, who had seated herself next to Kenshin to watch the performance, sighed loud enough to draw his attention.
"Is something wrong, Utsuki-dono?"
"Oh, not really…"
Kenshin gave Utsuki a look, and she giggled nervously.
"Well, Kaze-chan is like that after every performance. Whenever we can get her to perform…it's such a shame, she's so talented. Even more then Hanna-chan, although she'd never admit to it," Utsuki added.
"She seems very shy, that she does."
"Yes, well…she'll have to lose the shyness pretty soon, because we're going to be staying in Tokyo for quite a while! I'd better go help Yukito-chan pack up now," Utsuki finished, and as she walked away Kenshin was tackled by an overexcited Ayami and Suzume and forgot all about his earlier concerns.
