"See you later"-Lilika said waving goodbye from her front porch to Kenshin. He waved back and left. Then she entered the house with a big smile on her face.
As soon as Sano saw her enter he ran towards her.
"Lilika"-he said- "I have some bad news."
"What's wrong brother Sano?"-she asked worriedly.
"Aoshi knows about your secret."-he answered.
"You mean the secret about me and my-"-she said.
"Yes."-he interrupted- "He knows about you and your powers."
"But how?"-she asked looking for an explanation.
"I don't remember very well how it happened but I do remember he asking lots of questions about you when I was under the effects of drugs. He appeared out of no where."-he answered.
"You told him?!"-Lilika asked surprised.
"I'm sorry sis."-he said calming Lilika down who was now about to cry- "You know I was-"
"Drugged?"-she added- "I know. You always ruin my life. What am I suppose to do now? Hide? Run? What?" Sanosuke stood there without anything to say. Lilika looked at him straight at his eyes.
"You have to defend yourself."-Sano said- "Just because I'm your brother doesn't mean I got to be there for you every time you need me." He was telling the truth, he wasn't going to be there every time, what if something happened to him that he couldn't be there? She decided to relax.
"I mean."-he added- "What if I don't want to come? Is my decision to come or not. You could be drowning and all you have to do is call my name. But I choose to save you or not." Her feelings just got hurt really, REALLY badly. Her expression changed completely. She then glared at him angrily.
"You know what?"-she said with her temper up high- "I don't care for you either. In fact... BURN IN HELL!" Smoke started to appear. She turned around and went to the backyard slamming the door.
"Lilika!"-Sanosuke yelled noticing she had put a fire ring around him- "Come here you shouldn't do this. Do you really want me to burn in hell?"
The backyard door was opened revealing Lilika who looked at him straight at his eyes with some tears forming but still really angry with him.
He knew he had done a bad thing so he tried to say- "I'm so-"
"Shut up!"-she yelled now standing in front of him without turning her head- "I'm sick and tired of your lame excuses! Don't come near me ever again! EVER! You always do this to me! I don't want to see you anymore!" She ran out of the house leaving Sanosuke burning there.
"Damn it!"-he yelled. Sano took of his shirt and threw it on the floor to extinguish the fire.
"Great!"-he said after he got rid of the fire ring around him- "My favorite shirt is now ruined." His sweaty hot body was now walking towards his room to put on another.(Just imagine your anime hottie like that... Hey! Wake up from that dream!) But he obviously didn't care about the shirt. He was thinking of Lilika.
'She sometimes can be overdramatic'-he thought angrily- 'But then again... she most of the time is right.' He's expression changed completely now. From angry to worried in just seconds.
'Oh Lilika'-he thought looking at the ceiling- 'It's all my fault and I can't admit it.'
Kenshin walked down the woods with a big smile on his face heading somewhere unknown. Suddenly from behind him sobbing was heard.
'What could that be?'-he asked himself. A girl passed running besides him.
"Hey, wait!"-he yelled. She just kept running away. He started to run too until he reached her quickly.
"Stop!"-he ordered standing in her way. But she refused to and pushed him away. He was getting very irritated so he ran again and reached her.
"I won't say it again."-he said taking out his sword and putting it in front of her face. She stopped and looking hopeless she threw herself on the ground with her hair covering her face.
"Tell me Lilika."-Kenshin said kneeing at her side knowing it was her. She raised her head to reveal beautiful, yet sad and teary eyes.
"Sano's changing,"-she said- "He was never like he is know. He used to be so nice. Ever since mother and father died he changed from a sweet big brother to a problematic father acting brother."
"Don't worry about that."-he said cleaning her tears gently with a smile on his face- "You're the little one of the house so he feels responsible for what ever happens to you. He's not trying to hurt you, bet he isn't. Is just that with so much things going around him he feels depressed and in need of someone to be there for him."
"Then why doesn't he want me at his side?"-Lilika asked between sobs.
"Because he's afraid he'll hurt you with his life's problems. That's why in need of people he caught the wrong group of friends that just took him into drugs."
"But I still don't get it."-she said looking at the ground- "If he doesn't want to hurt me..., why does he hurt me?"
"You know Sano better that nobody else and you should know that he's confused. He just tries to protect you but everything seems to go wrong."-Kenshin said. Lilika stayed crying without saying a word. Kenshin raised her head with his hand gently and looked at her straight at her eyes.
"Just give him a chance."-he said cleaning her tears once more. With a warm smile on his face he took her in his arms . Lilika felt comfort in her heart every time he was with him and when she was crying on his chest it was when she realized it. She did felt something for him the same way he felt something for the fragile... young... beautiful girl he know held in his arms.
