Kenshin: Oro? Blooood...
Kenshin, The Tormented Soul Part 2
Kenshin stood up, went over to where his sword was and drew it. He slashed it around for awhile, sweat ran down his cheeks. He then put it back in the sheath, he sat down and held his cheek. The pain grew, like a headache... only it was the scar that was hurting. Kaoru knocked on the door.
"Kenshin? Would you like some tea?" She asked. Kenshin went to the door, zombie-like, and opened it. He nodded and Kaoru came in. She pourred the tea when they sat down.
"Kaoru?" Kenshin asked. Kaoru handed him the cup. He took it.
"What is it?" She asked, smiling.
"Am I too much trouble?" He asked, sadly. Kaoru almost spit out the tea.
"No! I... I don't mind taking care of you," she said, blushing. Kenshin smiled slightly. "Was that a smile?" Kaoru asked. Kenshin nodded. Kaoru laughed a little. She took a sip of tea. Yahiko came barging in.
"What's wrong with Kenshin? Did you make him sick, Kaoru?" He asked.
"No! Why would I do that?" Kaoru yelled.
"I don't know, maybe because you're cooking is so horrible?" Yahiko asked. Kaoru threw the tea pot at him, it hit him in the face. Kenshin laughed a little. Kaoru's eyes grew wide.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, that I am," Kenshin said, smiling full this time. Kaoru jumped up and took the pot from Yahiko's face, it was red and his nose was now flatter.
"We should celebrate! How about a feast?" Kaoru asked, ecstatic. Yahiko rubbed his nose.
"Only if you're not cooking," he mumbled. Kaoru threw the pot at him again, this time he ducked and Sano caught it.
"Did I hear feast?" He asked.
"Of course you are all invited. Yahiko, get the others. We'll have food from the Akebeko," Kaoru said, still a little angry. Yahiko smiled and ran off. Kenshin had left the room from the other doors, he went out into the back of the dojo, which had a garden and a small pond.
"Should we follow him?" Sano asked.
"No, leave him alone for now. He's going through a hard time. He'll get over it tonight though," Kaoru said, happily.
Kenshin was starring into the pond, his eyes almost blank. He was thinking about Tomoe again. He knew he had to do something in order to get her out of his mind. He kept replaying that scene over and over, the one where he killed her. He went inside as the party started. There was sake and a whole tray of sushi and other kinds of seafood. Even Aoshi was there with Misao. Everyone began eating.
"Let me guess, you want to have a drinking contest," Kaoru said to Sano. Sano laughed.
"Yes. But this time I want to challenge Aoshi!" Sano exclaimed. Aoshi glared at him. Misao laughed.
"You would never be able to beat him, even if Lord Aoshi did drink," Misao said. Aoshi took a bottle of sake.
"It's okay. I'll challenge that," he said. Everyone starred at him, wide-eyed.
"Okay, let's go then," Sano said, starting. Aoshi also started chugging. It was only after five bottles that Sano passed out. Aoshi had drunk about eight. He was only a little red in the face. Kenshin also drank some, since he was trying to rid someone out of his mind.
Kenshin: Hehe.
Lina: I wasn't sure if I did the drinking game with Aoshi or not, but here it is! Lol
