Chapter 5: Reunion
More bodies occupied the room this time; Kaoru looked up to see faces she had lost long ago. A single tear escaped her azure eyes and silently ran down her cheek.
A few moments passed where she stood in complete shock. Then quick as lightning she dashed over and hugged her older sister fiercely. Megumi gasped for air as her long lost sister clung to her. Finally Kaoru released her and turned to see the rest of her family.
There stood her younger brother Yahiko, her friend Tae (though not blood related, she still was as close as a sister), and Tae's younger sibling Tsubame. Quickly she hugged them all, then turned to her sister and asked, "Where is father?"
Megumi hung her head, "I'm sorry Kaoru, but father died the day those humans attacked.
Tears filled Kaoru's eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. She already thought her family had died long ago, so she was a least relieved to know some had survived. "It is good to know you're all safe, I have missed you all so much."
Katsura coughed slightly so everyone's attention was on him. "I'm glad that you have found family Miss Kamiya, but we have more pressing matters to attend to. You may visit your family later. I must first give you your instructions on what job you will be assigned to first."
Kaoru silently bade her family farewell, promising she would see them later. With that she sat down to wait for instructions.
"I have assigned you to become Battosai's partner. Both you and Himura will receive a small envelope containing the information of the target. You will then go and complete the task, then return to headquarters. Got it?" Kaoru nodded briefly.
"Now before you go I must tell you that you will be sharing a room with Himura, and I want no complaints."
She frowned but said nothing. Bowing slightly she then turned and walked out of the room.
Battosai glared coldly towards Katsura, "I don't need a partner."
Katsura smiled back, unfazed by the icy glare that would scare any other man shitless. "Like it or not you have one." "I have a special job for the two of you, and it will take team work to pull it off."
"Job?"
You will know in good time, right now I want you and Kamiya to become good friends. That's why I put you as partners for assassinations. Now go, I have work to do."
Battosai shot his leader one last icy glare before stalking out of the room.
Kaoru chomped down her food greedily. She hadn't eaten since Himura had given her the piece of dried meat that morning.
"Slow down Karou you're gonna give yourself a stomach ache."
Turning to her sister she smiled, "Sorry Meg, but I haven't eaten all day."
"You poor baby," she drawled sarcastically. Annoyed Kaoru threw a rice ball at her, she dogged it easily and smacked into Sano, who had just came in.
"Hey if you're not going to eat that give it to me." Plopping down next to her he quickly shoved a rice ball into his mouth.
"And why should we?" Megumi snapped back, obviously uncomfortable with the fact he was there.
"Because kitsune, I'm a growing boy," he then shoved three more rice balls into his mouth.
Megumi glared at him with disgust, "You baka! If you grow anymore your head will hit the ceiling."
Suddenly he reached over towards her, and with one quick swipe he grabbed the plate and dumped all the contents into his mouth.
Megumi's face went slightly pink with fury. She shot right out of her seat and stormed out of the room leaving Kaoru behind.
"Gosh your sister is such a basket case."
Kaoru turned to Sano, who was still stuffing his face. "I wouldn't anger her if I were you. Something terrible might happen."
He only shrugged.
Kaoru was slightly shocked at this. No one had ever stood up against her sister when she was angry. She was the doctor of the pack and anyone who made her mad mysteriously caught a bad case of the flu.
Coincidentally so did Sano right after dinner.
AN: Gawd sucks for Sano! Lol I'm really sorry for not updating for a long time. I bet you are all are pretty mad at me. I was so busy during school, but now it's the summer so I have plenty of time to write so expect updates a lot faster (but not too fast) I'm also working on my other stories so for all the people who have been waiting patiently for another chapter of Royal Secrets I'll have a chapter up as soon as I can.
Thank you all for reading and Reviewing!
I love you all!
