Meanwhile, everyone from Cairo to Iceland had heard the sound

BD#1: alright alright, will you just shut up now?

Meanwhile, since Misao has been doing least work, Okina decide to send her to Tokyo as well, visiting her friends, after all, they had never let them down in any matters, even though it was a different thing, he was ready to take the risk. So early the next morning, she went of for Tokyo, escorted by Omasu.

2 days passed and they had finally arrived, she knocked the doors and a boy had opened it. Misao could not just believe her eyes and she shouted in surprise, the boy was as surprised a she was as well. Hearing a shout, Kenshin and Kaoru ran immediately to find out what happened.

"It's…it's…you again" Misao stammered, "Weren't you the one I met a few days ago?" In surprise he couldn't answer, he opened his mouth but no words came.

"You don't know her? It's Misao, she came with me to Shingetsu, remember?" Kenshin asked.

"No, but I met her before on my way here" he answered. Everyone was silent for a short while when suddenly Kaoru spoke.

"Wait, could anyone please tell me what is going on here?" she asked, half shouting. Everyone suddenly stared at her, and then went back into staring at the two, leaving her question unanswered.

"Who are you?" Misao asked, but nobody answered either. Knowing that it was lunchtime, Kenshin broke the silence by asking everyone to join them for lunch.

Lunch was quiet; nobody spoke except for a few words that Misao kept saying to herself. Megumi & Sano came in the middle of the lunch; he leaped so high in surprise when he saw that the boy, Misao and Omasu were there. He fell pretty badly and ended up having a broken toe.

Feeling bad being in the silence, Kenshin finally spoke up and told Misao and the boy who each other were. They fell in silence and confusion. Misao started the conversation by saying sorry and thank you to him. He only nodded his head, unable to say anything.

"An Oni-Wabanshu member?" he thought, "I'm having feelings other than hatred towards an Oni-Wabanshu member?" and the other side thought of exactly the same.

"If I really did fall for him, I still couldn't believe it…" She thought to herself," I fell for a former member of the Juppon-Gatana? Worst, he's the strongest of them all".

Not being able to do anything about it, Kenshin returned to his laundry, leaving the two behind in a room. The room stayed silent, neither one of them had said a word after Kenshin left.

Misao didn't like the silence and wanted to crack it up. She trembled though; she did not dare say anything. She had tried to speak but had said nothing.

The boy felt pretty much the same. He felt that he had to do something so he started the conversation. He thought about asking her what actually and happened the other day, why was she crying but he then decided it wasn't a good starter for she might begin to cry again.

He was pretty confused on his feelings himself, he wasn't sure whether he had really fallen in love with her or not.

Finally after 15 long minutes of silence, she said a simple sentence.

"Why are you here?" That was the question. She knew it wasn't a good question to start with but she couldn't think of anything else.

He answered lightly, "I was just passing by". "Oh his voice", she thought, "So tender, but yet so confident. His warm smile is so sweet". They both blushed as she looked at him and found out that he's looking at her as well then lowered their heads again.

Finding no response and no further acts, Misao excused herself from the room. The boy was silent and only nodded again as she excused herself.

She went to Kaoru's room and tried to talk to her about this thing, but yet she isn't confident of revealing her feelings to him. Kaoru only got more confused when Misao suddenly cried on her.

Misao was confused, what she would do. She couldn't accept the fact that she had fallen for someone she just met, yet all this years she had loved Aoshi and hadn't changed her mind ever since. She really is breaking down.

She had no idea who he was before and now she couldn't even look at him in the eyes. Without Misao realizing, Kaoru had left the room followed by the entering of the boy.

Misao herself was drifted far away by her thoughts; she didn't see the boy in front of her. Her tears started to flow when she came to remembering Aoshi's disappearance. Distressed by her own thoughts, she didn't even realize she was crying. All she knows was her world, but everything changed after that.

Seeing that the girl was desperately crying, he felt quite guilty about not saying anything. He wanted to do something, so he touched her cheeks and wiped her tears. Realizing she wasn't alone, Misao looked up and found the boy smiling at her. She tried to smile back but she couldn't hold back her tears.

Her crying was worse, she had tried to hold back but instead she lost control and fell crying on his shoulders. He only smiled and put his arms around her, trying to calm her.

"Oh, his voice again" she thought as she cried. "It's so calming and gentle". For about 15 minutes or so, he sat there, holding Misao in his right arm and holding her head with the other arm, as for Misao, she only sat there crying on his shoulders, helpless. She laid her head on his left arm after she calmed down and he sat still, holding her so she wouldn't lose balance and fall.

She felt warm in his arms. She finally calmed and smiled but saw the boy blushed and looked down. She giggled a little. They both then talk, still holding each other about the first time they met and soon Misao's tears became laughter.

They sat there for quite sometime until they realized that the door was opened and Omasu, Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, Sano and Megumi were staring at them wide-eyed. They ran away when they realized they've been noticed followed by Misao throwing kunais at them shouting, "OY! CAN'T WE GET SOME PRIVACY?"

Standing by the doorway, the boy just laughed looking at the chase, he sat down and watched the chase some more until he finally joined the chase. It was almost dinnertime when the chase ended and they had to all wait for dinner a bit longer considering the fact Kenshin hadn't cook yet because Misao had been chasing him.

Everyone was tired; they were all exhausted from the entire running around. The exhausted Kenshin did the dinner slowly, about 2,5 hours or so. When dinner finally came out, everybody death-glared Kenshin for the delay and as you may have guessed, Kaoru threw some empty dishes at him, only to be caught by Kenshin even though one hit him on the fore head.

"Bull's-eye!" Kaoru exclaimed and did a victory dance around the table. Everybody laughed and ate.

By the time dinner was finished, it was not only Kenshin who got a bump on his head but also Sano and Yahiko for they both insulted that Kaoru's cooking was 999 levels below Kenshin's cooking. Yahiko got two bumps for later on he insults Kaoru with a quote he made, "No day without smacking", he had gotten it from the quote "No day without learning".
