Chapter seven:
Day three
" Hey Kaoru-chan?" Maru asked eating her food.
"yes?"
" How come you don't sleep with Kenshin?...aren't you two married?" Kaoru blushed at her words
"umm…..well you see……I just don't want you to be sleeping alone…."
"oh…….i see…."
"..I'll be back…." 'oh! Man!!!Maru pllllleaaase don't ask me anymore questions about that!!!! How embarrassing!!.....' Kaoru went to Kenshin's room she had been wondering if he was gonna come out of his room. Kaoru slowly slid the door open and peaked inside, there she saw Kenshin sleeping and he was sleeping sitting up. Kaoru slowly went inside and walked to Kenshin quietly. Because Kenshin's bangs were blocking his eyes Kaoru bent down slightly to see if he was awake. All of a sudden she was pushed to the wall by a sword that was facing sideways and Kenshin looked at her angrily at the frighted eyes. Once he noticed it was Kaoru he put his sword down and turned around looking out the window. Kaoru looked at him
"………………" the two stayed quiet for awhile
"……..Sorry if I startled you….." Kaoru said softly. Kenshin looked at her at the side of his eyes. Kaoru went to him slowly and touched his shoulder
"…Kenshin?..........what made you do that?......."
"…nothing…"
"ohh come on…tell me…I mean it's not like I'm a stranger….we do know each other right?........"
"….no we don't know each other….and in the past doesn't count." Kaoru looked at him with hurt eyes.
"…..Why are you like this……you weren't like this in the past……" was all Kaoru said before she walked out of the room.
'….I don't understand him…….some days he's nice and other days he's mean……..i want to know why he's like that……' Kaoru looked at on Maru….get ready we're almost leaving……"
"okay.."

" That's right! You better not!! Don't ever come back here without money you hear me??!!" said the innkeeper. Sanoske frowned at the lady
'…..why am I here again?....oh ya …because of Jou-chan…'
Flashback
"Katsrua let me go with them….."
"……and why is it that you should go with them?"
" You know why of course to protect her!"
"…..You don't think that Kenshin cant protect her?"
"well….uh…oh just let me follow them! I promise I wont ruin the plan!"
"….very well then….follow them but from a distance..got it?"
"….ya sure whatever…"

Sano followed the trail through which Kaoru and Kenshin went through
'man…..maybe I shouldn't of come…….ahhh! I'm hungry!!!! Look what you made me do Kaoru!!! now I'm hungry and worring! ..okay no time to panic where should I eat?.....' Sano looked around the place or people that were nice looking, sadly they all were guys and no girls.
' damn it! …I guess I'm gonna have to miss a meal……I might loose track to where they are…..' suddenly Sano bumped into a girl
"ops sorry there…." Sano looked at the girl which happened to be Kaoru
"Sano?!?!?! What are you doing here????"
'…what the! Oh crap! I didn't know they'd be still here!!!!...'
"….uh….i can explain Missy….." Kaoru lifted an eyebrow and taped her foot. Sano noticed Kaoru was wearing a Kimono, which he hasn't seen her wear that in a long time.
"Well?....." Sano was caught off guard by looking at her kimono
"…oh sorry…..I haven't seen you in those things in a long time….hehe… looks like you gained some weight"
"WHAT!?!" Kaoru started to chase him which took a while cause he wouldn't stay still, finally she caught him and beat the crap out of him.
"Ouch!! Hey!! I was joking!! I ..didnt mean it!!"
" That's what I thought! BAKA!!!....now tell me what are you doing here!!" she let go of Sano who was trying to breath
"…….I asked Katsura-san if I could follow you…" at that moment Kenshin came over and a little girl.
"…at first he said no but..i told him I wouldn't let you guys see me…."
"…Looks like you failed at that part…." Kenshin said folding his arms. He too was not pleased to see him
"Well it wasn't my fault I thought that you two would have been gone by now….and who's the little girl? Don't tell me she's your kid…hahaha!" Kaoru punched him on the head.
"ahhhh….." Sano fell down with his eyes swirling. Kaoru who was annoyed with Sano turned to Kenshin
"….Lets go…….and no Sano SHE'S not are KID!!!!" she said storming off.
"Hey! Where you going….now that you know I'm here let me come with you guys…"
"….great…more kids to take care of….." Kenshin said walking .
"What? I'm not a kid…..Hey Kaoru…come on! Stop ignoring me!" he said catching up with her.
"…Sano why did you come? …Kenshin and I are fine you need not to protect me ya know?...." Sano sighed
"…well there's nothing you can do..i promised to your mother to watch over you no matter what…" Kaoru sighed, she had no choice but for him to follow or at least she thought
"…You will not come with us.." Kenshin said directly. Kaoru looked up at him
"…tch whatever I'm not listening…"
"unless you want people to figure out what were about to do I suggest that you leave and go back right now…" he said looking at him
" …Fine….only because I don't want Kaoru to be caught…..and one more thing…If she comes back injured I swear i'll kill you….even if I die trying."
"whatever…"
"Kaoru-chan…who's the man?" Maru said pointing to
Sano.
"…he's just my friend…..nothing to worry about…" Maru nodded.
"…Okay..i'm leaving….Kaoru take care of yourself." Kaoru laughed.
"….Sano ..i know how much you care about me but don't worry I'll be fine. But if I come back injured you can beat the crap out of Kenshin.!" She said smiling at Kenshin who raised an eyebrow. Kaoru laughed again
"okay but before I go who's the girl?"
" Her name is Maru…we found her…well I found her with some thieves who were trying to hurt her. Sooo I saved her! The end!"
"…ah.. I see….hmm well you can always count on Kaoru to save the innocent haha…like Enshi…"
"..you know him too?" Kenshin asked
"Tch…ya….Enshi was new around our area and he was still about are age or older but some of the other older kids started a fight with him and Miss I don't think that's nice decided to interfere and save his little ass…but he ended up saving her ass cause he did know how to fight and some of the kids tried to hit her…….ironic isn't it? Hahahaha"
"Shut up! How was I suppose to know that he knew how to fight? And unlike you, all you would look at was at Tomoe!"
"Hey what can I say she was pretty when we met……"
"Fine whatever!....just leave! Your wasting our time…we still have to walk you know…"
