Okay, I had decided to start winding down. I had run out of ideas but then a whole new idea came to me and it seems like it may keep going for a while now.

Thanks to all you who reviewed. I'm sorry this took so long but life got hectic and I had this chaptet written out but then I got the new idea so I hope you like it.

Evilteedybear, Jupiter's Light, May Avalon, Starlite, and moonangel0905 thank you very much and to everyone else who has taken the time to read.

"Missy looks a lot better.," Sano told Kenshin, hoping to draw the smaller man into conversation.

The two of them had been setting on the porch in silence for quite some time now. At first Sano hadn't minded, the chirping birds and rustling leaves had been enough. Though normally not one for quite and relazation, he was ready for some rest.

However, soon the bright sun had given way to her paler sister, the moon. The sounds of birds had turned into the rustling sound of crickets, and the wind's air took upon a cold chill. The silence had stretched and gone beyond comfortable. Finally he had said the first thing that had come into his mind.

Nodding the red-head, barely glanced up. "Yes, her coloring has returned and her injuries are healing."

"Kenshin. You okay," he asked him.

Finally looking up, he smiled but Sano recognized it as the one he used when trying to cover up how he really felt. With Kenshin, you had to take in what he didn't say too.

"I am fine. Just a little tired."

"Long day Himura?" came a voice from the darkness.

Looking up, Kenshin saw the man that he knew had been standing there.

"Hello Saitou." Walking into the light, the man seemed to be all business.

Sano had immediately stood upon the man's entrance. "What are you doing here?"

Smirking at Sano, he turned and faced Kenshin. "I'm here on official business. Bar fight, kidnapping, and assault. Do you think your above the law?"

"Since when have you really cared about the law," Sano asked the arrogant man.

Crossing his arms, he leaned against the wall. "I don't but that doesn't change the fact that I have a job to do. I need to speak to the girl."

"Miss Kaoru is sleeping. She needs her rest. In any case, I'm sure you know the details of what occured."

Nodding, he raised his head and looked around the night darkened dojo. "True but I want to have a talk with her anyway."

"You just want to get on our nerves," Sano told him.

"Though that is a pleasant result, for once this isn't about you or Himura."

"Then what is it about."

"It's a police matter."

"I'm sorry, but Miss Kaoru may not wake up again for the night."

"Fine then, if I must I'll tell you two. We believe we found the body of the man who attacked her. He's been mudered."

The two of them couldn't move an inch. Monkusai was dead. But by who? Had it been random?

"I can identify him. There's no need to awaken her," Kenshin said standing up.

"Sit down Himura. I can't let you within looking distance of the body?"

"Saitou this is past your stupid grudges. Let us just see if it's him," Sano said, with the anger that always seemd present around Saitou.

"Neither of you is going near the body."

"And why not?"

"Himura was the last known one to see the man alive and he had an obvious grudge against him. If the corpse does indeed belong to Monkusai, Katuri then he's our number one suspect.

There it is. I'm not very well with Saitou so I apologize if he's OCC. So did you like it, not like it? Please RR and let me know.
