The Trip

Using her god-like speed, she was up at 1:00 and finished the chores by 4:00.

Yamisha had prepared for this day, and had already purchased a ticket to Kyoto well in advance. She had revenge to wage, and a perfect plan to do so.

At 4:30, she was at the boat harbor waiting to get on the boat. She did so while being watched by a group of about 6 strong, muscular men. They laughed at the sight of a small girl carrying a bucket of disgusting material that appeared at first glance, to be gelatin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At around 3:00 PM, she arrived in Kyoto and headed with her mysterious bucket down the main road in Kyoto.

The contents of the bucket were not... pleasing to the nose shall we say? They reeked like rotting horse manure dipped in Kaoru's cooking. Kaoru whacking the narrator of this story on the head. With her magical bokken of course, that appeared out of nowhere.

5:00 AM (back in Tokyo)

Kenshin awoke, and immediately ran to Yamisha's room ready to chain her to the floor.

She was gone. Her futon was neatly folded in the corner and the only other thing in her room, was a drawing of the entire Kenshin-gumi (Aoshi and Misao included). He remembered that picture as being done by an artist when Yamisha first came to reside at the dojo. She was scowling in the corner, but everyone else (except for Aoshi) was smiling.

'I wonder why she is always so sad?' he wondered. Kenshin made a mental note to ask her later. 'Wait. WHERE DID SHE GO?' he screamed to himself mentally as his search became frantic.

He also noticed that every chore Kaoru left her was already done. Even the tofu was sitting on the table.

"Oh no... she went out." he said almost inaudibly as Kaoru came out.

"What's wrong Kenshin? Where is Yamisha?" she asked looking around.

"She went out," was all Kenshin had to say before Kaoru looked at him worriedly.
