Yahiko woke up in the night feeling scared. He shuffled his little feet into Kaoru's room, he saw Kaoru holding tightly to Kenshin. 'Aww. There's no room for me.' He thought. Before he walked out of the room, he heard Kenshin's gentle voice, "Yahiko, come in. There is plenty of room." Yahiko's eyes brightened up. He jumped in the bed, waking Kaoru. She looked at him. "Hey, come here." She let Yahiko inbetween her and Kenshin. And that was how they fell asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaoru woke many times last night. Yahiko was always holding tightly to her everytime. She cried in the night, trying not to wake Kenshin or Yahiko. What was she going to do? How was she going to live? Her mother always took care of her and her little brother. Now, she was going to be like a mother. Taking care of her little brother. Now she was going to have to get a job. Where was that going to fit in? Oh why did this have to happen. It was five in the morning, and she was so tired, but too sad to go back to sleep.
Just as she was about to sleep, it hit her like and anvil. When her mother said 'Those eyes,' she could remember only one person of that way. Who had eyes you would never forget!
Enishi Yukishiro
Kaoru shot straight up, causing Kenshin to wake up. Yahiko slept like a rock. "Whats wrong Kaoru?" Kenshin asked worridly. "Kenshin, I know who did it! I know who killed my mother! It was Enishi, his eyes are the only ones you would never forget!" Kaoru wailed. She broke down all over again. Kenshin quickly went to her side and comforted her.
"Shh, it will be ok. We'll figure this out someway." While Kenshin held her, speaking soothing words to her, Yahiko woke up. "Ugh, whats going on? Whats wrong with Kaoru?........Kaoru...it will be ok. Don't cry. Mommy is in a better place. She is with Daddy now." Yahiko crawled into Kaoru's lap, and hugged her hunched over form. She pulled him close and calmed down. "What would I do without you Yahiko?" She asked. "You would probably be out in the cold saying 'Oh, why didn't I ever listen to my little brother? Oh he's so smart, better than me! Oh dear, whats wrong with me?' So, thats probably what you would do." Yahiko joked. Kaoru and Kenshin laughed as well. Yahiko smiled triumphantly. Yahiko believed so much that his mother was so happy with his Daddy, that he felt little sorrow. He still really missed her, but he knew she was in a better place. Now, if only he could get Kaoru thinking the same way.
Kaoru looked around. There was no way she was going to get anymore sleep. "How about we get some breakfast? Hmm?" Kaoru asked. "Only If Ugly doesn't cook i'm in." Yahiko teased. "What's that supposed to mean!?" Kaoru shook Yahiko. "Did I st..stutter?" Yahiko said and ran off down stairs.
"I can cook Kaoru, I don't mind." Kenshin said and helped Kaoru up. "All right. And I can throtle my so-called brother." Kaoru said and walked into her bathroom to get dressed.
She came down stairs showered and dressed. She still held sorrow in her heart, but she was going to get over it one day, and accept her mother is in a better place. She walked passed Yahiko and his Playstaion 2 mad hour. He would be on that game until breakfast was finished.
She walked into the kitchen and smelled the aroma cooking up. She walked over to Kenshin and watched him cook. He was so cute when he was cooking.
He turned her way, "Kaoru, do you want to help me?" "No, I'm really not a good cook, Yahiko speaks only the truth." Kaoru explained. "Nonsence. I'll show you. First, beat the eggs in this bowl like this. After, put butter or that Pam stuff that you spray in the pan and watch it. When it gets firm, and you can slip your spatula under it, it's ready to flip. I'll do one and then you try." Kenshin showed her with one egg. He then moved to let her try, and to tend to the bacon.
Kaoru stirred the egg. She sprayed the pan with the Pam.(which i do not own) She waited a minute and slipped her spatula under it. Flipped it. And repeated, then put it in a plate. She looked at Kenshin.
"Thats good Kaoru. Do you want to do the rest of them?" He asked. "Yes please." Kaoru answered.
Soon breakfast was done, and Kenshin called Yahiko in. Yahiko dove into it. "this is really good! Kenshin wow. I didn't know a boy could cook this good." Yahiko said. Kenshin choked on his food. "Yahiko, boys can cook too!" Kenshin defended himself.
----------
After breakfast, Kaoru looked at the clock. 'six o'clock. Wait, I need to go to school today!' "Hey, Kenshin, what are you going to do today?" Kaoru asked. "Umm, I don't know. I think that i'm going to hangout with Yahiko. Why?" He asked. "Well, because I have to go to school in about an hour." Kaoru said. Kenshin looked at her. "Oh yeah, I forgot. Well, I guess I could get a school application to go to your school." Kenshin said.
"Kenshin, how will we do that? Yahiko is only four. He doesn't go to school yet. We can't leave him hear alone all day." Kaoru said. "Oh, that does make it hard...What! Yahiko is four?! He's a really smart four year old!" Kenshin said unbelievingly. "What can I say, they make'em smart these days." Kaoru joked. Kenshin chuckled. "What do you think we could do?" Kenshin asked. "Well, my school actually has a nursery. There are a lot of teen pregnancy's that went on, and so many people dropped out, so they built a nursery. Maybe when you go there, we can put Yahiko in the nursery. He can bring his own stuff. He might get restless and bored, but, it will be a heck of a lot safer." Kaoru suggested.
Kenshin thought about this, he nodded. "Well, that sounds good. So, we'll start as soon as I go to your school." Kaoru nodded. She thought. Her eyes widdened. "Kenshin! Your going to stay here?! I thought you were just visiting! Kaoru said. "Well, I can't just leave you here. Not like this. Besides. I brought enough close to not change for about two weeks. Your mom wanted me to stay a while. So, I can stay. I can help you and Yahiko. Oh, yeah, Aoshi came to see Misao too. You will have to explain all of this to her at school." Kenshin said. Kaoru agreed.
Yahiko came down stairs. "Hey, Ugly, don't you have school today?" "Yes, I really need to get going." Kaoru said. She stood up from the couch and got her bag. She picked Yahiko up and gave him a hug. She kissed him on the cheek. "Ewww! I got Ugly on me!" Yahiko yelled. She hugged Kenshin. Kenshin rubbed her back and gave her a chaste kiss. "Don't have too much fun without me! Kaoru yelled back."
She walked out the door and to the end of the road where Misao was waiting. "Hey Kaoru! I'm so sorry! It was all over the news! Are you ok? I'm so sorry." Misao said and ran up and hugged Kaoru. "Thanks Misao. Yahiko and Kenshin are giving me a lot of support." Kaoru said. "Oh yes. Aoshi-sama came yesterday too!" Misao jumbled on.
"Misao, there's some stuff I have to explain." Kaoru said. She told Misao everything on the way to school. Even that she knew who the murderer was. Enishi Yukishiro. Now, a hatred burned more fiercly in her heart. She would get him back, some how!
-----
School was halfway over. So many people came up to her today, and all of her teachers didn't give her any homework. They all gave her good marks for everything due that day and the next.
Sano and Megumi came up to her and apoligized and gave their blessings as so many others did as well. It came to show that Megumi and Sano were now going out. Kaoru and Misao were so happy for them.
While Misao was walking with Kaoru after school she remembered that she tried to call last night. "Kaoru, I think that Enishi cut your phone lines out. I tried to call last night, but it said that it was no longer in service." Kaoru thought that over. "That can't be, Kenshin called the ambulance last night." Kaoru said. "Maybe he hooked it back up, so it would be easier to get away." Misao said. Kaoru replyed, "I don't know, I just really don't know."
Misoa took her way home and Kaoru hers. She arrived home. She opened the door and put her bag down. She found Kenshin playing a racing game with Yahiko. She smiled. "Oh, hey Ugly." Yahiko said, too concentrated in his game. "Hey Kaoru." Kenshin said, actually trying to beat him in the game. She went into the kitchen and washed off an apple. She saw Kenshins almost all the way school application filled out, and a nursery application to fill out. She decided she was bored and filled it out herself. She grabbed a pen, and something hard to bear on and went in the livingroom and sat on the couch. (Kenshin and Yahiko are on the floor). She filled it out in no time.
Kenshin got up. "Man, I hate that game! I always lose. You wanna play again Yahiko?" Kenshin asked. Standing up and stretching. "Yeah." Yahiko said. "Will you bring me something back from the kitchen, umm some coke please." Yahiko asked. "Sure." Kenshin replied. He looked at Kaoru and went to the kitchen. Kaoru quickly followed behind.
"So, when do you start school?" Kaoru asked. "Umm, in three days." Kenshin said. "I'm a grade ahead of you, and Yahiko can stay in the nursery. I see you already filled it out." Kenshin said pointing at the application. "Yeah, I was bored. I explained everything to Misao, and they are coming over tomorrow." Kaoru said. "Good." Kenshin said pulling two cokes out of the refrigerator. "Kenshin, I need to aske you something." Kaoru said, pulling him from leaving. "Ok. Shoot." Kenshin said, paying complete attention to her. "What are we going to do about money?" Kaoru asked. "Oh, dear, I don't know. Let's talk about it later. I'm going to play this game with Yahiko." Kenshin said, looking at Kaoru for permision. "Yeah sure. I don't want to talk about it now any way.
Right after Kaoru got comfortable, there was a knock at the door. She got up to see who it was. "Hello," Kaoru asked a tall man with a brief case. He stuck out his hand for her to take it. "Hello, Ms. Kamiya a suppose." "Yes." Kaoru said shaking his hand. "Well, i'm here to explain some things to you that your mother left." He said. Kaoru immeadiatly let him in. "Yes, thankyou. Please come into the kitchen."
Kaoru him into the kitchen.
"I'm Mr. Yamato. Your mother left you a few things. One she left you this house. I do know that you have a younger sibling. He is Yahiko and four years old." The man asked. "Yes sir." Kaoru answered him. "Well, now you have to become his legal guardian. You are his sister, but you will be his mother, to everyone else. Like if you get a job at a high cooperation, he will legally be called your child, because he is under six years old." (Guys i don't know if this is really real, just go along with me please!) Kaoru nodded. Mr. Yamato continued, "Well, when your father died, he left your mother some life insurance money. She also left you some life insurance money. You will recieve hers, as well as the rest of your father's. That comes up to over two hundred thousand dollars." The man said. Kaoru's eyes widdened. "Oh my lord. Really!? Thank you mother!" Kaoru said to the ceiling.
"Yes, Ms.Kamiya, so you have any relations? A boyfriend, or fiance?" "Yes, he's in there playing with Yahiko. Do you need to talk to him as well?" Kaoru asked. "Yes, it would help." Mr. Yamato said. Kaoru walked away for a couple of seconds. She arrived with Kenshin. Mr. Yamato explained everything he did to Kaoru to Kenshin, and Kenshin answered a few questions. Kenshin nodded. "You will be recieving these checks in the mail. Your first one should be here in four days. If it is not, please contact me by this number. I'm truely sorry for your loss. Have a very good day." Kaoru walked him to the door with Kenshin and they both waved goodbye.
Kaoru turned to Kenshin. "So, we don't really need jobs right now. Oh yeah, you need a car right? So, I'll take my mother's and you can take mine. If you need it for any thing. All right?" Kaoru asked. Kenshin nodded and they went back into the room with Yahiko. Kenshin and Yahiko resumed their game and Kaoru also had battles with them. "You guys are going down!" Kaoru yelled. "You wish ugly!" Yahiko yelled. And Kaoru gave Kenshin some pillows for a guest bedroom. That's how their night went.
