Author's Note – Went to post and forgot to write a little note. Well, this is the last chapter I have that's written. I got a few ideas just from re-reading and posting so hopefully I'll be able to finish at some point.

Currently listening to Blue by Gabriela Robin from Cowboy Bebop: Blue

Reviewer responses are at the end of the chapter.

Chapter 10

Tuesday morning

Kaoru and Kenshin are driving to the studio when her cell phone rings. After a short conversation she hangs up.

Kaoru: "That was Okina. He needs me at the office today. So, I'll drop you off, go to the office and you call me when you're done so I can pick you up. Oh No!"

Kenshin, worriedly: "What is it?"

Kaoru: "I sound like a mother."

Kenshin, chuckles: "Yes you do."

Kaoru: "So do you have your milk money?"

Kenshin: "Yes mom."

Kaoru, as Kenshin gets out of the car: "Play nice with the other kids."

Kenshin waves as he enters the soundstage.

Kaoru heads to the agency. She tracks down Misao as soon as she gets there.

Kaoru: "Hey Misao. What's with Okina?"

Misao: "Hi stranger. Nothing. He just misses you."

Kaoru: "Oh, I thought something was wrong."

Misao: "So, how's Kenshin?"

Kaoru: "Fine. He's seems happy about finishing this movie though."

Misao: "You do know he's going back afterward right?"

Kaoru: "Going back where?"

Misao: "Japan. Okina's been trying to get him to stay but he insists there's something he has to do first. Told ya he had a troubled past."

Kaoru: "Well I know that. Why didn't he say anything?"

Misao: "Couldn't say. You better go see what Okina wants. I've gotta find Aoshi-sama and see if he needs any help with anything."

Kaoru, smirks: "You're impossible."

It soon becomes obvious that Okina's only reason for having her come in was because he really did miss her. She spends the day getting his tea and hanging out with Misao. After work, she finally picks up her car from the repair shop.

Misao, hugs the steering wheel: "Finally, I have my baby back."

Kaoru: "How am I ever going to be happy driving this old thing around? I'd gotten used to the convertible."

Misao: "You'll adjust. Now get your stuff outta my car."

Kaoru: "Some friend you are."

Suddenly, her cellphone goes off.

Kaoru: "Hey Kenshin, you ready to go?"

Kenshin: "Yes."

Kaoru: "Be right there." She turns to Misao: "See ya later Misao."

Misao: "Tell your boyfriend hi for me."

Kaoru: "He's not my boyfriend. We're just friends."

Misao: "Yeah, for now."

To Be Continued…

Well, that's as far as I've gotten. I hope to finish it someday. I've got some ideas but, well, they always sound lame on paper.
