I hope you're enjoying the story. Are the chapters too short? I can work on getting them longer. Please R&R!

All In Chapter Two

Kenshin got off the train and walked near his uncle. Now, they had to walk around a mile home.

"Stop them! They stole my bag! Please stop them!" a man cried helplessly, as he chased two boys holding a bag in the crowd. Kenshin looked away and put his foot out. The man tripped and fell down, others gathering to help, and others walking along, too busy to stop. The girl saw what he'd done and looked at him as if he was a monster. She started walking again when this time, her bag was stolen by a boy. He pushed people to quickly get to his hideout. Their hideout.

Kenshin walked his uncle home then left for his favorite spot. He walked down a private alley and reached down into a hole in the cement; a paint can hid it so only those who knew about could find out. His hand came out holding a 'key.' The key was a wire that had an irregular shape. He stuck it into the huge rusted hole in the door and brought up the hatch with its hook-shaped end. Then, he hid the key again. Three boys were there, talking excitedly about what they had found today.

"PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"

"W-what? What's going on!"

"PUT THEM UP, OR I'LL SHOOT!"

The three boys put their hands up out of fright and also put down their heads to the ground when the mysterious voice had commanded them to. Kenshin walked down the steps slowly and smiled, as the three boys where very scared from his prank. "Hey." He said. They all looked up and where surprised.

"Hey, Kenshin!" Shiro and Kuro greeted.

"Jeez, Kenshin! You scared the shit out of me!" Chou complained, yet grinned at his best friend.

"Hey, Kenshin…" Saitou just murmured. He continued to look inside the bag he'd stolen and ran for. Chou rummaged in the bag again.

"Hey, hey! We got something!" he cried. The rest of the crew gathered while Kenshin just sat down next to Saitou.

"What is it?" Shiro asked.

"Hot Pepper Paste." Chou answered. The rest sat back down on their seats and pushed Chou. Kuro took the bag and rummaged through it.

"Found something!" Kuro shouted. The others gathered around again.

Saitou opened a music box and Kenshin realized the music. He turned and saw that same music box that the girl in the train had been holding. "Whoa…that's pretty!" Chou exclaimed while Shiro and Kuro reached out to grab and examine it. Saitou laughed and hit them on the head.

"It's a music box, you dolts! Men don't own these things! It'd be a disgrace if one of us was found with this!" he laughed. Kenshin reached out and grabbed the silver music box from Saitou. The others just looked.

"Thanks, Saitou. I'll hold onto this." He said, while putting the music box in his pocket. "Anyway, Kuro, what did you find?" Kenshin asked, trying to change the subject. It worked easily. Kuro grinned and took it out. It was a wallet and there was money in it.

"You guys are still hanging out in here?" a voice came from the stairs. They all turned to look. It was Misao. Misao was Kenshin's childhood friend and liked him a lot. She had a humongous crush on him and wasn't embarrassed to show it. She walked down and sat next to Kenshin. The rest rolled their eyes and kept searching the bags. Kenshin just grinned and stood up.

"I'm going to the theater guys. See ya." Kenshin said. He walked out and started heading towards the theater. It was kind of far, but he never had anything better to do anyway.

Kaoru approached the theater and saw the ticket seller/manager counting money. "Excuse me…does a Hiruma Gohei live here?" she asked. The manager looked up from his money and stared at her.

"Who are you to ask?" he asked curiously. He'd never seen this girl around before.

"He's….well, he's my father. My mother passed away recently…so he's the only one left in the family I know now." She explained, making a long story short. He looked her over and told her to follow him.

"He…might disappoint you. But…it's your choice."

"WE WANT OUR MONEY!" the gang co-leader shouted. He gave a hand signal for his men to hit the timid man. One bald man kicked him in the stomach while one brought him up and punched him square into his eye. His glasses fell and shattered on the cold, tile floor. He was bleeding intensely when they gave up. "We'd better have it in two weeks. You're lucky we're giving you ANOTHER extension. Next time, if you don't have it, we'll kill you." They left and walked past the surprised Kaoru. That was…her father? The one who worked in the theater as a movie player…?

"Hiruma! Guest for you…she says she's your daughter!" the manager called.

"What are you talking about? I don't have a daughter…"

"Whatever! It's your problem now!" he yelled. "Go to him. That's Hiruma Gohei." Kaoru walked uncertainly and looked at him. Yep. This was him…her mother had shown her a photo of him before she passed away. Her father looked at her for a moment and led her into his room which was also the projecting room.

"Look, I'm not your father. I'm not even cut out to be a father. I've sunken so deep into debt…which I can't pay back. So just go back to your mother." He told her, getting up to start the next playing movie.

"My mother is dead. Her last sentence told me to go to you. I don't have anywhere else to go and I have no money either. No place to stay…and if you try to remember, you'll know that you had a daughter but left your wife just when she was born. That daughter is me."

"Yeah, I know you're my daughter. You look just like her…well, I live in this room…so you'll have to sleep on the bed while I sleep on the floor. That's the only way…this room is really cramped. Maybe you can persuade the manager to give you a job." Kaoru nodded and went to find the manager…

NOW PLAYING: DOCTOR ZHIVAGO

Kenshin had watched this movie millions of times but still went anyway. Not that he had anything better to do.

As a list showing the cast of characters at the end of the movie appeared, people rose and began to leave the dark room. Kenshin just sat in his seat, not really ready to leave yet. Not long after did a girl come out to sweep the rows littered with trash. As she tried to sweep where his feet were, he blocked the way.

"Please move your feet." She stated calmly.

"I don't wanna." He answered in a mocking voice. "Hey…its you from that day on the train…" he said when realization struck him.

"Move. Or else, I'll call security." She warned. He didn't move. "SECU—" Kenshin moved.

"Jeez, you have a temper!" Kenshin joked.

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo

"If you need anything, please inform one of the staff or come to me, sir." The manager said.

"Sure…"

"Please. Into this room…the movie playing will be Doctor Zhivago." He waved his hand at a worker to come. Into his ear, he whispered, "Play the movie. This is the owner's son. Any bad word about us and we'll say bye to our jobs."

The owner's son, Enishi stepped into the room after the manager did. Two people were there, talking…or arguing?

"You two! What are you doing? The movie already finished…boy, you should be outside and in your house already! And you..." he looked at Kaoru. "I gave you a job and you flirt and slack off on your first day? Why…I should fire you!" he chastised angrily. Kaoru just clenched her skirt and looked at her feet.

"Ah, sorry sir. It's my fault. I was bothering her when she was trying to sweep. I'll take my leave now." Kenshin got up and walked out, not noticing Enishi. Enishi just watched this scene before him. He stared at Kaoru. She sure looked pretty…

"Get out of here! Sweep after this movie is done. Get out of my sight!" Kaoru quickly went out through the exit. He turned to Enishi. "I'm very sorry sir…" he bowed and rubbed his palms on his jeans. He was starting to sweat profusely.

"Oh, no problem. There is no need to bow…" Enishi sat down and the movie started.
