I'm not what you think
Hey this is my second chapter. This is also my second story. Please read my first called Past Person. I love it when I get reviews so please do review. It is really a motivation. Well on with the story!^_^
A year was all she needed to catch up to her year level of training. For a year, she had been living with her uncle, getting his sake and learning to cook farley edible food. For a year, she had been training hard, getting water and doing more for her uncle than she had ever done for her father. For a year, she had heard stories of Hiko's last student, Kenshin Himura, of how some bandits killed all the slaves he was traveling with and how he buried them all. She admired this, Kenshin. She remembered all his embarrassing moments and all his accomplishments. She also noticed how her uncle's face lit up at the mention of his name. She knew he missed him. He said he was like a son to him. To her, he was like a dream. She wanted to know him. When she finished her training, she would like to find him and bring him home.
"Baka deshi, get me some sake and go do your morning katas. I want 1000. And when you're done with that, go fishing and don't come back until you have five of the largest fish and bring five buckets of water to refill the furo. Then, you must get my bath ready after you cook my fish. What are you waiting for? Get done with your chores, then we'll start our training." Kaoru gave a faint smile at her uncle. By the time she gets all her chores done, she will be shot on energy. She is stronger than she was a year ago. Now she has enough energy after her chores to last a good twenty minutes fighting Hiko till she exhausts out.
That night during dinner, Kaoru decided to ask about Kenshin again. "Uncle Hiko, Do you think it's possible that Kenshin is still alive? I mean, it's only been a year, he could have survived." Hiko stopped eating. They had had these conversation lots of times. "Kaoru, he is my apprentice, do you think he would be that weak? No, and anyways, he isn't fighting in the battles, he has become an assassin, the battousai. Lets not dwell on this subject, now eat." "Uncle Hiko, I want to go find him. I promise I will be back, and I will make up for everything I've missed. Please, let me go. Uncle Hiko?" Hiko stood up and walked to his room. Without looking at her, he responded. "Go to sleep. I will think about it in the morning. Ill have your answer when you awake." He went to his room and Kaoru took her spot in the corner. 'In the morning, I will have my answer, and I will go get my brother.'
Long and hard, all night long he had been thinking. Yes, he wanted Kenshin to return to him, but he didn't want to loose his niece also. He knew she could take care of herself but she might decide to stay with him if he decides not to return. Who knew what his baka deshi would do. If she promised to come back, safe, then he will agree.
Morning came and Kaoru was up early and had Hiko's favorite breakfast already made. She waited patiently for him to wake to hear his consideration. He emerged from his room shortly. They ate breakfast silently then he went to take a bath. He came back and told Kaoru to take one as well. She did as she was told and went to the furo. She was dressed and dry a few minutes later, and met Hiko out in front. Hiko motioned to her sword by the log and she took it in her hands. Hiko charged.
She had all her strength, so this fight was more even matched. 'What is this fight for? Why this early? Is it a test?' A test, if so, she would win. She used all her moves and speed to maneuver around him, but he was faster. Everything she did, he was able to deflect. Every once in a while, he would throw cheap shots in, and catch her off guard. But she would come back stronger, forcing him back if only for a second. This battle went on longer than all the rest. She was determined to win. She would not quit. She was ladled with sweat, while Hiko had a slight shine to his face. She kept going though, hitting him with everything she had. Spinning, Dipping, slicing, and diving. She did it all. She was about to use a fake left when Hiko turned his sword suddenly toward her downward. She caught the blow with her blade but the impact made her loose her balance. She hit the ground hard and lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she found she was in Hiko's room by herself. She was never allowed in his room. She got up and went to the middle room. She found a travel bag and Hiko sitting there, calmly sipping his sake. "Go get as many jugs of sake that you think will last me until you return from your journey." Kaoru smiled and nodded and headed to the village. 'Finally, I will meet you, Kenshin Himura.
------The End______
There is my second chap. Please read my first story though. O and if you have, I wont update Past Person for a while. I kinda lost motivation for this story. It's a writer's block for one thing and an inspiration for another. Ha ha confusing. Huh! Well, its past 1 and I want to go to sleep. If you can't believe it, I wrote both these chapters in about an hour in the same day. I only stopped to edit and eat I promise. I think this is an accomplishment don't you? Well good by and wait for my next story. I'm going to sleep. Finally!
I'm not what you think
