Wow! Ok, so updating during vacation turns out more difficult than I
thought! I was all ready to like, spend just forever seriously writing as I
haven't done in a while, and I keep on getting pulled aside by my sister
who insists that I watch every episode of SG1 in the house with her... my
father just bought the sixth season and last time we were down in Orlando
we only got to season two... so you can imagine we've quite a bit to ingest...
that tied up with visiting everyone I haven't seen in forever and a day,
and my mother insists that I need to get the perfect maid of honor dress
for my sisters wedding in JUNE right now!
I just kept forgetting and/or just plain passing out at the end of every
day!! Not to mention the fact that I've seen MOST of Stargate so I'm
basically watching reruns and my sister has that annoying habit of just
ASKING instead of watching whats happening... ug....
Disclaimer- Kenshin is not mine... though- hubba hubba I wish he was!! (feline-like-growl) hmm hmm...
Justice Stryfe- once again!! I have a repeat customer!!! This is sooo awesome!! Hopefully I will continue to entertain!! Gosh this is just... ahhhhh!!!! Thanks! You rock!!!
Freda Potter- yes, "Oro" as used repeatedly in the series is a "mask" used by our dear Kenshin... but it is a very generic term. Its just like a "what" or a "huh?" and everybody uses it when they are confused... so using it every once in a while (I do not believe) shouldn't deviate from just regular speech. But thank you for your interest, its always fun to argue for or against points like this!
Umm... this entry is one that I kinda didn't have any prior plan for, basically its just stuff thrown together and tweaked until it worked... I do have something in mind for the next update and hopefully it won't be as rushed as this one was... thank you for reading! ___________________________________________________
"Trust me, they are not broken." Kenshin reassured Tsukasa as he changed the youths bandages.
"How can you tell? You're not a doctor." Tsukasa snarled and hissed as the ointment his sister slapped on his cheeks stung.
"No," Kenshin agreed cheerfully, "but I've had broken ribs before, trust me, if they were broken, you'd know it." He smiled as he tucked the ends away and tilted his chin up to watch the boy snarl at Lila, who snarled back companionably.
"You slap that god forsaken stuff on me anymore and I'll tell you what." He threatened.
"You always say that. But this will be good for your bruises, we can't have you all banged up when you go home." She stopped talking when he glared,
"Who says I'm going home?"
"Well..." She leaned back on her heels and was quiet for a moment. "I thought that was what you and Master Hiko were talking about last night."
"No. He said Father wants me back, and I said I didn't trust him to look after you."
"I thought..." Lila took a deep breath and looked away from the stubborn expression on her brother's face. "I'm going to put this away." She swiped the dirty rags from the floor and packed her ointments away, leaving the two youths alone on the log in the midday sun.
"Girls." Tsukasa snarled as he got to his feet.
"What's wrong?" Kenshin packed the remaining wraps away and smiled up at the boy,
"Master Hiko is really very gentle..." he paused, coughed and looked away, "If he's not training you in sword techniques."
"I don't know." Tsukasa watched as Seijuro Hiko bent to pick up Katsu, who had been following him around ever since the previous night. "Katsu is usually a very good judge of character, and I do find myself trusting the man... but I, I just don't know."
"You've never really been apart? The three of you I mean."
"We've always done everything together. Even when I began my sword training, Lila would bring her needlepoint into the dojo, Katsu would watch or just run around with a shinai killing everything in sight." The boy smiled at the sky, reliving his memories.
Kenshin licked his lips and looked down at the ground. "That seems very nice." A shadow passed over the sun as Kenshin recalled the blood splattered on the ground in a farming hut he barely recalled. There seemed to be so much of it...
"Kenshin?" her voice was soft, but the noise shocked him from his reverie.
"Yes Lila-san?" she smiled down at him and her brother impartially.
"Master Hiko would like some water for tea, assist me?" she asked, "Tsukasa, you should go inside and rest."
"I'm tired of resting!" he almost whined, realizing that a warrior is not one who should whine. "Girl!" he added in a self-important tone, trying to sit straight. Lila laughed as he hissed out pain.
"Go inside baka. You can protest all you want when your sick and I'll indulge you in it. The second you are healed we'll have a reckoning." She warned as he carefully got to his feet and shuffled inside. Kenshin too, rose to his feet, and lead the way to the river.
