Tenshi: Hi! Well…like I say, this story was by Julie-dono, so these ideas does not come from me yet. I might still add some more stuff in here but it might still sound the same. I'll try to update these as soon as I can. I keep running out of time to correct this and edit it to be like my regular story. Sorrie for taking so long but I'll try to get to chap.7, and then I could continue the rest on my own…well plez read and review.
Disclaimer: I do not own rk and half of this chap through 7.
The police chief walked through the gates of the Kamiya Dojo. He found Kenshin sitting on the front steps, which he looked to be deep in thought. "Mr. Himura?" the police chief spoke. Kenshin sat up and faced the policeman.
"Anything?" He asked but the chief simply shook his head. "Our men have looked everywhere. There's no sign of her."
Kenshin looked across the field as he saw Megumi walk in.
"Sir Ken," Megumi said walking over to Kenshin. "Have they found her?" she implied. He shook his head.
"Iie." Kenshin turned to the police chief and bowed to him. "Arigatou," he thanked him.
"We'll keep searching, Mr. Himura." The chief bowed and then left.
"I'll make you some tea, Sir Ken," Megumi offered and walked inside. Megumi went into the kitchen finding Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Kenji.
"Where's mommy?" Kenji asked Sanosuke. Sanosuke sighed and bent down.
"Don't worry, mommy is coming home soon,"he replied.
At least I hope she is...Sanosuke thought and Megumi's face saddened.
"Hello, Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Kenji," She forced a smile trying to hide her sadness.
"Aunt Megumi!" Kenji chirped running to her.
"Hello sweetie." She looked down. "Why don't you go play outside?" Megumi suggested. Kenji smiled and nodded his head then ran outside.
"Does Kenji know?" Yahiko asked.
"It doesn't seem like it. Poor boy he's too young to understand any of this," Megumi sighed and began to prepare the tea.
Kenji ran outside and found his dad outside leaning against a tree looking at his palm. Kenji became curious and ran over to him.
"Hi daddy!" Kenji said smiling. Kenshin looked down and forced a smile and sat down with him. "When's mommy coming home?" Kenji asked. Kenshin's face became blank. He really didn't know. He didn't even know where she was.
He remembered when Kenji came running in the restaurant screaming for his mother the day she had disappeared.
Flashback
"Daddy!" Kenji screamed running into the restaurant. Kenshin sat up and looked at his son.
"What is it, Kenji? Where's mommy!" Kenshin asked worriedly. Kenji ran to Kenshin and tightly hugged him. "An old lady did something to her. She couldn't run away!" The frightening little boy yelled.
What? Kenshin thought. He stood up and looked at Tae.
"Tae! Watch Kenji for me!" Kenshin yelled to her as he ran out of the restaurant with a firm grip on the edge of his sakabatou.
He ran over to where he last saw Kaoru. He called for her name and ran down an alley, where he saw a stand. He walked closer to it and saw on the cold wet ground Kaoru's ribbon.
End of Flashback
"Daddy?" Kenji asked, staring at his father who was in some deep thoughts. Kenshin shook away his thoughts and turned to his son.
"Yes son?" he responded.
"What's that?" Kenji asked pointing to the ribbon in Kenshin's hands. Kenshin looked at Kaoru's ribbon and just sighed.
"It's your mother's. I gave it to her as a present for our anniversary," Kenshin said.
"What's an aversry?" Kenji asked who couldn't say the word right.
"It's when we celebrate togetherness. After a year being together we cherish the memories in the past," He continued. Kenji held his mother's ribbon feeling the silk with his fingers.
Of course Kenji looked exactly like him; Kenshin could see that he had the wisdom and kindness of his mother, Kaoru. Kenji had grown to be a beautiful boy, raised by a wonderful mother.
"Ken-san, your tea is ready!" Megumi called over to Kenshin. He stood up smiling at his son. "You want to come inside?" Kenji smiled and grabbed his father's hand as they walked inside.
"Oyasumi Kenji. Sleep well," Kenshin said tucking in his son that night.
"Oyasumi daddy," Kenji smiled as he closed his eyes and let out a yawn. Kenshin kissed Kenji's forehead and walked out finding Sanosuke leaning on the wall near him.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Sanosuke asked chewing on a fish bone.
"I can't leave Kenji. He need's me now, now that Kaoru has gone missing," Kenshin replied and Sanosuke grunted.
"Kenshin you're such an ass. You're just going to let those shitty cops look for her?" he asked. Kenshin just looked at his best friend.
"Kaoru could be locked up somewhere, wondering why you haven't found her yet. I'll watch over Kenji!" Sanosuke offered. Kenshin smiled.
"Arigatou Sano. I owe you," Kenshin said.
"Yeah, yeah. Just get going!" He pushed him. Kenshin nodded his head and headed out the dojo gates.
'I'll find you Kaoru! Don't you dare give up on me,' Kenshin said to himself as he ran into the empty streets of town.
