… Chapter IV: I knew you had it in you …
There were nights when Aoshi was plague with dreams… different kinds of dreams. Sometimes it was about the night when Oniwabanshuu were attacked, when Misao's mother almost died from protecting him and Misao… when he was running away with Misao in his arms… protecting her. Other times it was of him when he was three years old when his own parents die protecting him again. They died right in front of him with his mother's blood soaking his clothes as she hides him from the killer with a short sword implanted on her back with the tip between her chests in front while his father was beside him lifeless with another short sword embedded on his heart.
"Aoshi… be strong…I love you…" That was the last words his mother uttered to him before she died. He doesn't know how long he was lying on his back with his mother on top of him. He doesn't know how long he stared at the ceiling of the darkened room. He doesn't know how long he held his mother's head against his small body. He doesn't know how long the rain outside lasted. He doesn't know and he doesn't care. After who knows how long sleep finally claimed him and when he woke up everything was different. The room was bright, he was on a comfy bed and he can't smell the blood of his parents.
"Good morning little one…" It was Misao's father who got him that night. Aoshi looked at him and nod. Aoshi watched as the man walked towards him. He didn't say a word and neither Misao's father but he understood what Aoshi wanted to ask. "You've been asleep for three days. Your parents are already resting in peace." Mr. Makimachi stood and Aoshi followed. They stopped behind the house under a big oak tree and underneath the tree were two tombstones. Beside each tombstone was a short sword and Aoshi knew where those swords came from. Misao's father left him. Aoshi stared at the grave of his parents. He cried and cried until tears have stopped falling. When Mr. Makimachi came back he saw Aoshi still standing where he left him. He noticed another tombstone.
"Do you have a younger brother that died?" Mr. Makimachi asked. Aoshi shook his head. "Then who is it for?"
"Mine." Silence. Mr. Makimachi looked at Aoshi then at the smaller tombstone. "I died together with my parents three days ago…little Aoshi is dead…" Silence again. Mr. Makimachi understood what Aoshi meant. As days passed by the Shinomori Aoshi that he knew was gone. The sweet and carefree child he used to see when he visits his friend, Aoshi's father, was gone. The shine in his eyes were gone and his smile never grace his handsome face again. Indeed, Shinomori Aoshi is dead.
Aoshi finally awake, his biological clock telling him its time to get up. He opened his eyes and the first person he saw was the only one who was able to put back a smile on his face after so many years after his parents died.
Makimachi Misao.
Here she was sprawled on top of his bare chest with her right cheek against his heart and her mouth slightly open with a drool coming out of her little mouth. Her legs were on both sides of his waist, her right hand wrapped around his neck and left hand on top of his chest. He smiled while looking at Misao's sleeping face.
'What an adorable creature.' Aoshi thought. He wrapped his arms around her and looked up at the ceiling. 'Who is she?' He had a dream. Not the usual dreams he had. It was totally different. He dreamt of a lady… yes a lady. The only women in his dreams were his mother, Misao's mother and Misao when she's still a child. Yet he dreamt of another, a lady… same age as he was.
He can't remember everything in detail all he remembers was that in his dream he was in his bed just like now. He knew when he look at his chest he'll see little Misao on top of him. He didn't open his eyes. He wrapped his arms around Misao feeling very comfortable and warm. He never felt this warmth when he hugged Misao. Something was different with the warmness that envelops him. He knew it but he can't name it. Something was totally different but totally welcome. Even the weight of Misao against him was different. She's heavier and softer. His hand touches her back all too familiar with the texture of his clothing that Misao used when she sleeps. He felt Misao's smooth hair when his hand reaches her lower back.
'Wait!' His mind screamed. Misao has short hair. Aoshi finally opened his eyes and looked down on his chest. He saw a head with beautiful long hair spread across his chest and when he looked at his side he saw her leg. Long, creamy and lovely. He felt her shift and instantly he felt his body tensed and shudder. He felt her soft chest against his hard one. He felt his body shiver in delight again when he felt her nuzzle her face against his neck. Another shift from her and another shudder from him. He never felt his body react with another before. Whether he wants to admit it or not he likes it a lot. Another shift from the lady above him that made him instantly tighten his hold on her soft and very warm body that sent shiver all over his body.
'What the hell is happening?' Aoshi asked his self. Another shift, same reaction. He closed his eyes letting her warmth envelop him. He felt head move and then heard her yawn. 'She's waking up.' He thought with his eyes still closed. He felt her moan rather than heard her when he felt chest softly reverberate against his and he fought back a moan from escaping his lips. 'Damn! Is she doing it on purpose?' He thought. He felt her hand on his cheek and when he opened his eyes it crashes with beautiful sleepy lustrous sea green eyes that made air leave his chest.
After that his body decided to wake up. With the lady's eyes embedded on his mind. Those eyes look familiar. He just can't place his finger on whom it belongs. The way she looks at him was familiar. He didn't ponder on it any longer. He has lots of things to do today. So with his dream set aside he carefully place Misao on the bed and then he went to the bathroom. After Aoshi's morning routine he went downstairs dressed in his Akebeko uniform and saw Kenshin was already up and making their breakfast.
"Ohayou Aoshi-san." Kenshin said and Aoshi nod his head. He sat in front of the counter and waited for his breakfast.
"You should sleep or you won't last the whole day cooking at the festival." Aoshi said.
"I already slept after I arrived last night. I'll be fine." Kenshin said as he placed Aoshi's breakfast in front of him.
"How did it go?" Aoshi asked as he started eating his food.
"It went well. All the information you've gather are all correct." Replied Kenshin. After he finished cooking, he placed Misao and Sanosuke's breakfast at the counter. "I better wake up Misao-chan and Sano-san."
Aoshi was left alone as he quietly eats his breakfast. Just after a few minutes Kenshin and a still sleepy Sanosuke arrived.
"Ohayou, Aoshi." Sano said with a yawn.
"Good morning." Aoshi said. Sano sat beside him and started to eat his breakfast.
"So what's the new order?" Sano asked.
"I'll tell you about it later. Aoshi-san still has to confirm it today." Kenshin replied as he too started to eat his breakfast.
"I'll tell you later after I finish my delivery." Aoshi said.
"Have you finished the order last night?" Sano asked again.
"Hai."
"Aoshi, it's your turn tonight." Sano said.
"I know." Silence. Not a minute has passed when they heard heavy footsteps running down the stairs followed by the opening of a door and then…
"OHAYOU EVERYONE!"
"Ohayou Misao-chan." Kenshin said with a smile. The little girl sure knows how to make an entrance.
"Good morning Aoshi-sama." Misao said with a lovely smile on her face as she sat beside him.
"Morning Misao-chan." Aoshi said and stand up to put his plate on the sink.
"Morning weasel." Sano said.
"Morning too, rooster head."
"I'm going." Aoshi said. Misao got up and followed Aoshi to the back part of the restaurant where the delivery bike is parked.
"We'll see you at the shrine Aoshi-sama. Take care." Misao said as she follows Aoshi outside. She handed him the helmet.
"Thank you. Now go back inside before you catch a cold." Aoshi said. Misao kissed his cheek and then dashed inside the house. He just smiled. Now to work on the new order…
----------
It was ten minutes after nine o'clock when Aoshi arrived at the temple. Many people are already present at the shrine but only few people were dressed on their beautiful kimonos. Tonight more people will come. Tonight this place will be more busy and alive. He remembers his parents brining him to festivals when he was young. The last night they were together before his parents were killed. It was raining that night at the festival. Light steady rain. After a long and pleasant night they went home, that's the time when the rain poured. Then men in dark clothes attacked them that led to the death of his parents… that night he was left alone and lonely… that night made him hate the rain and festivals. That night changed him.
"AOSHI-SAMA!" Aoshi watch as his little girl came running to him wearing her Akebeko uniform; a black fitted turtleneck AN: Like Genjo Sanzo's black undershirt underneath a sky blue off shoulder blouse with numerous black large and small Japanese script, a midnight blue skirt with a hemline well above her knee, a bandana, a sky blue apron and a pair of sneakers. He hated festivals but not anymore. The reason is right in front of him… beaming at him. Still he doesn't like the rain, too many memories… sad memories. "Have you finished all your deliveries?" Misao asked cheerfully.
"Aa." Aoshi replied as he makes his way to their mini restaurant. Once there he saw Sanosuke tending to their customers, which composed of business women, a few business man and old ladies… the early birds. He too was wearing his Akebeko uniform. Just like Aoshi's; black pants and blue buttoned up shirt left unfasten but unlike Aoshi he wasn't wearing anything underneath his shirt. His apron not properly worn, it was only held by the tie around his waist with the top part that was supposed to cover his chest now onto the lower part of the apron.
"Hey Aoshi! Finished already?" Sano asked when he saw Aoshi approached him.
"Aa."
"Excuse me, waiter." A lady in business suit called out.
"I'll get that." Misao said leaving Aoshi and Sanosuke. "What's your order ma'am?" They heard Misao's merry voice as the two walk to the mini kitchen where Kenshin was busy cooking orders. A high counter was separating the kitchen from the tables and chairs. People can see Kenshin as he cooks their orders.
"Welcome back, Aoshi-san." Kenshin said also in his uniform. Black pants, blue buttoned up shirt which was all fastened except for the first two buttons, a properly worn apron and a chef's hat. The chef's hat was c/o Misao. She said it makes Kenshin look cuter and Kaoru agreed to this. The truth it was all Misao's idea, the uniform thing, before she arrived in Akebeko the three handsome guy just wear what they feel like wearing but when the little bossy girl arrived they were powerless against her. But the good thing is when she arrived more customers came not only of the female population but the male species too. They just adore little Misao.
"So what did you find out?" Sano asked as he handed Aoshi his own apron.
"Our customer has checked in a hotel but when I went to deliver to his room it was a different man."
"So you don't know where he really is?" Sano asked.
"So the information that Meg––-" Kenshin didn't finish his sentence when Misao arrived. Aoshi went to tend to their customers while Sano picked up a tray of food to give it to their customer.
"Ken-nisan, did I interrupt anything?" Misao asked. She was sure the three were talking but when she came in they all suddenly stop and left.
"No, not at all Misao-chan." Kenshin replied. "Is that another order?" He asked when he saw a slip of paper on Misao's hand.
"Hai." Misao handed him the paper.
"Arigatou. I'll call you when it's done." Kenshin said.
"Ok."
----------
Morning was busier for Akebeko's crew than the afternoon. Only few people arrived to eat. By four o'clock they let Misao go home to get ready for the festival tonight and also to meet up with her friends. By four fifteen the three were the only people in the restaurant.
"I need to charge up for tonight. For sure we'll be very busy." Sano said as he slumped on a chair while Aoshi was wiping the table were their last customer for the afternoon had been. Kenshin came out from the kitchen with a tray of tea for them. He handed one to Sano and the other one to Aoshi who was sited opposite Sano.
"What are you planning to do about the order Aoshi-san?" Kenshin asked.
"You don't know the customer's whereabouts." Sano said.
"I already know. I'll take care of it tonight after the festival."
"So you still have a delivery tonight?" Sano asked. "You sure are a very hardworking guy. A freaking excellent hardworking guy."
"How about Misao-chan?" Kenshin asked.
"Take her home Kenshin. We'll tell her that Sano and I will be cleaning up here. I'm sure she'll be too tired to argue."
"Hai."
By six in the evening people started to arrive at the temple for the festival and by that time many people were already coming to Akebeko to eat. Most of their customers were giggling and screeching teenage girls who seems to be enjoying in gawking at the two handsome waiters and the cook than to even bother how their food tasted.
"Your right, Aoshi-san really is handsome." One of the female customers said with a giggle.
"I told you. He is the most handsome waiter I have ever seen." Her companion said.
"Look at the cook! He looks so cute with that chef's hat." Another one added. Everyone giggled. "Sanosuke-san is very handsome too."
"Yeah. And look at his body really nice." A brown haired girl added. They all look at Sanosuke who wave at them with a smile. All four girls shrieked in delight. Numerous squeal of delight was heard again from another table where Aoshi asked the order of a group of girls. This is how things were in Akebeko for the first two hours of the night. Sanosuke seems to be enjoying his self from all the attention he was getting while Aoshi remained his stoic self as he talks to their customers, serve them and get their orders, and Kenshin tries his best to cook all the orders. After the youth of the female species left, their next customers were older women, kids with their parents, a few teenage boys and a few couples.
After another two and a half hours of endless serving, cooking and cleaning the three handsome guys found there selves slump on a chair, resting.
"Finally! I'm so tired." Sanosuke exclaimed. "Sometimes I regret being so damn handsome and irresistible." He added. Silence. It only meant one thing he better shut up.
"Aoshi-san you better get home and changed. I'm sure Misao we'll be here any minute after her stroll with Kaoru-chan and her friends." Kenshin said.
"We'll you two be alright here?" Aoshi asked. "After the show for sure many people we'll be eating here again."
"Don't worry buddy I'll make Yahiko work. Is that ok with you Kenshin?" Sano asked.
"If Yahiko would like to help then there is no problem with me, that it is." Answered Kenshin.
"I'll be off then." Aoshi said. He removed his apron and after placing it on the counter he left to change. Ten minutes after Aoshi left Misao and her company arrived. Everyone looks tired but very happy.
"Hello Ken-nisan, Sano-nisan." Misao said as she sat on a chair opposite where Sano was slump.
"Good evening Kenshin-nisan, Sano-nisan." Tsubame said with a bow.
"How's your date with Tsubame-chan, Yahiko-chan? Did you do all I told you?" Sano asked whose arm is around the young boy's shoulders.
"Don't call me chan!" Yahiko exclaimed angrily with a flushed face. He pushed Sano away from him. Kaoru and Misao giggled while Tsumabame's face was also flushed. Tsubame is wearing a beautiful deep reddish-orange kimono with a tangerine obi. AN: I wonder what that look like. hehe... while Yahiko was looking very handsome on his white gi and navy blue hakama.
"Did you all have a great time?" Kenshin asked.
"Hai!" The four said in chorus.
"I better get you something to eat." Kenshin said.
"Thanks Ken-nisan. We're starving!" Misao exclaimed.
"I'll help you Kenshin-nisan." Kaoru said who was standing in front of Kenshin with a shy smile on her cute face. Kenshin look down on her and smiled at her. She just looks so nice with her hair tied in a high ponytail with a blue ribbon, wearing a deep purplish-blue kimono and lavender obi.
"Thank you very much Kaoru-chan." Kenshin said. Before Kaoru followed Kenshin she turned to her friends and saw them with a good work written all over their faces. Misao even has her thumbs up with a grin on her face.
"Take care Kenshin. I'm going to miss you my friend." Sano said.
"What does that supposed to mean?" Kaoru asked angrily.
"What will be your last will and testament?" Sano asked ignoring Kaoru.
"Why you…" Kaoru was boiling in anger that she wanted to strangle Sano to death but Kenshin came to the rescue.
"Kaoru-chan, you really look lovely tonight, that you are." Kaoru blushed. "Let's go." She followed Kenshin completely forgetting about the annoying rooster head.
"Sano-nisan where's Aoshi-sama?" Misao asked.
"He went out on a date." Sano said and he quickly covered his ears. Tsubame and Yahiko did the same. They may not have seen it but Kenshin and Kaoru did the same.
"W!HHHHAAAATTT!" Misao shouted so load that they were sure everything and everyone in the temple stopped their businesses to wince at her eardrum-breaking-voice. She was ready to yell again but stopped when somebody called her.
"Misao…" The shocked and angry girl was suddenly smiling from ear to ear as she turned to the person who called him.
"Aoshi-sama!" Misao almost literally fly her way to her dear Aoshi and attach herself to him. 'He is so handsome.' Misao thought as she looks at her dream guy. He was wearing a blackish blue hakama and a very pale blue color gi. "Are we going?" Aoshi nodded. "YATTA!"
"Take care of yourself Shinomori!" Sanosuke yelled. He received a glare from Misao.
Their date, as what Misao wanted to call it, turned out fun for Misao and for Aoshi. Even though Misao didn't saw a single change in Aoshi's expression, she knew he's happy. There were times when she knew what her Aoshi-sama feels that she doesn't need to hear it from him or see it reflect on his handsome face. Misao was practically in seventh heaven the whole time she was with Aoshi. He brought her food, candy, a rubber ball, cotton candy and almost anything she saw that made her squeal in delight and look at Aoshi with her pleading eyes. He can't just resist her charms especially when is wearing a pale reddish-pink color kimono and a cherry red obi. AN: Sorry I'm not good at color combination… I don't even know what Misao's kimono look like..hehehe!
It was almost nine thirty in the evening when Aoshi noticed Misao's continuous yawning. He led Misao under a large tree in front of a sparkling pond. They sat together side by side with Misao leaning on Aoshi's chest. Aoshi put his arm on Misao's shoulders looking down on his lovely girl. Kimonos always look great on her. It was one of the reason he likes festival, he get to see Misao wearing a kimono, which hardly happens because she's not so fond of clothing that limits her actions and antics. There were times when he wonder what she'll look like when she's older and wearing a beautiful kimono.
"Aoshi-sama…" There eyes met when Misao look up at him while her cheek was against Aoshi's broad chest. She smiled at him. Warm, grateful and satisfied smile on her sleepy face. "Thank you so much. I'm so happy." Yawn. "Arigatou…" She snuggles closer to him. Her eyes starting to close. "I love you…" Her voice very soft that not because of Aoshi's sharp senses he wouldn't hear it.
"I love you as well… very much." Aoshi whispered. He leans on the tree and closed his eyes. Letting his self relax. Its been a long day and he felt tired from all the work all day but very contended to be here with the his treasure close to him. He let his self to take a nap.
Again a dream came. He was slumped on the soft couch on the long black soft sofa of the restaurant. A little heavy but welcomed weight on top of him. Warm breath against his neck making him shudder. Automatically his arms closed around the creature on top of him. He sighed on the feel of warm flesh against his bare chest.
"Aoshi…" He felt another shiver when her warm breath brushed the underside of his ear. He touched her long hair and let his hand comb it lightly and then rest in on the back of her head. He opened his eyes. The room was dimly lit. He looks down on her. He saw the top of her head but he wanted to see her eyes… her divine eyes. Gently he made her look at him and that's when he saw her face. Breathtaking. He felt everything ceased from moving. Long lashes, thin soft lips, perfect nose, smooth cheeks. Everything was just perfect for him. He whispered a name that he doesn't even know what. His voice husky and low. He told her to open her eyes and she did, hearing his plea. Sea green eyes look at him and then a smile and then everything just faded. He opened his eyes waking from his dream. He felt a shudder but not coming from him. He looks down at Misao. She's trembling. He took her deeper into his warm embrace. He heard her sigh. He smiled. He carried her and makes his way to the restaurant.
That smile… he knew that but can't name it. Those eyes… everything about her was very familiar to him even the feel of her against his. He pushed it aside. There will come a time when he'll know who she is. He can feel it. They'll see each other…
He reached the restaurant and saw a family come out from their tent followed by Akebeko's crew all wearing an apron: Kenshin, Kaoru, Sano, Tsubame and Yahiko.
"Thank you for coming." Kaoru said as two little kid wave at them and the happy couple bowed at them. They were all about to go back inside when Kaoru noticed him with Misao cradled on his arms. "Aoshi-nisan! Welcome!" Aoshi went to them and all went inside.
"Look like weasel is knocked out." Sano said.
"Did you have a great time Aoshi-nisan?" Tsubame asked. Aoshi nodded.
"You better bring Misao-chan home. We'll take care of everything here, that we will."
"That we will!" Kaoru second the notion. Everyone laughed.
"I'll be going then." Aoshi said. Kenshin held the sleeping Misao while Aoshi get the keys for the motorbike. He wrapped his coat on Misao and after mounting the bike Kenshin gently placed Misao on his lap sideways. Misao immediately wrapped her arms around Aoshi's torso and snuggle close to his chest.
"Take care Aoshi-nisan." Kaoru said. Everyone said there goodbye and take cares to Aoshi. The trip home was quiet. The road not as busy as it was in the morning. He felt at peace but he knew after tucking Misao in bed he needed to leave again to do an important task. When he arrived home he went straight to their room. He laid Misao on the bed and removed her outer kimono, leaving her in a white, simple and a little loose kimono that she'll be comfortable to sleep in. "Good night…" He whispered and then kissed her forehead. He walks towards the closet to change his clothes and before closing the door he looked one last time to Misao. "Give me strength my little one…" He went downstairs through the back door. He mounted the motorbike and started the engine. He wasn't too far away from the Akebeko when the rain started to fall. Light and steady rainfall… Rain again.
----------
By the time Aoshi finished his important task the light rain turned into a downpour. When he arrived home and knocked at the backdoor. It was Kenshin who opened the door for him. Quickly he brought the motorbike in as Kenshin disappeared from his sight and then suddenly he was in front of Aoshi again with a big towel.
"Here." Kenshin said. Aoshi accepted it. "How did it go?"
"It was fine." Replied Aoshi. "How about the cleaning? Any problem?"
"Not at all. Everybody helped." Kenshin said. They went to the kitchen and Kenshin made a hot tea for Aoshi. He drinks it silently with Kenshin beside him. "We have a problem though." Silence. "It's Misao…" Suddenly his heart's beat quicken but no expression appear on his face. He always worries about her.
"What happened?" Aoshi asked sipping the hot tea gradually.
"She woke up yelling and crying. She was looking for you. We tried to talk to her but she locked her room. We decided to let her be herself and wait for you." Kenshin said. Aoshi didn't finish his tea; he quickly went to get the spare key for his room and then went upstairs.
"Thank you Kenshin. You may rest now." Aoshi said.
"Good night." Kenshin said. Aoshi waited for Kenshin to go inside his room before he opened the locked door. The first thing he saw was the empty bed with the sheets in disarray He scanned the room. No Misao. He felt uneasy. He looks at the bathroom. No Misao. The rain continued to fall… heavy. Just like the day his parents died. He hated the rain. He went back inside the room again and when he passed the balcony he felt the cold wind with the spray of rain. The sliding door is open, the curtain dancing with the wind. He went to close it and that's when he noticed a crouched figure on a corner.
"Misao!" Aoshi call out. The sliding door almost shattered when he shoved it. Aoshi wrapped his arms around her and hurriedly brought her inside. Her body was cold and quivering. Aoshi laid her in the bed and wrapped her in layers of blanket. He went to the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water. He went back to Misao, lifted her and brought her to the bathroom. "Misao, please be alright… Misao.." He felt anxious. If anything will happen to Misao it would be his fault. He didn't come home right away. He should've been here beside her when she woke up. She needed him but he wasn't there. "Misao…" He whispered. He put Misao inside the tub after removing all the blankets and her kimono that were wrapped on her. She moaned and Aoshi was thankful he didn't arrive late. After a few more minutes he lifted her up and wrapped her in a thick towel, brought her back inside their room. After drying her naked body he gets Misao's pj, his polo shirt, and dressed her. He combed her wet short hair as she watches her sleep soundly. "Thank god you're ok… you made me so worry." Aoshi whispered. When he felt sleep calling him he changed his wet clothes and changed into blue-black hip-huggers pants and then he lay down beside her with his arms wrapped around her. He was about to turned of the lamp on top of the study table when he noticed a brilliant deep pink tinged with purple colored, chubby looking pen with big ribbons of different colors on it.
'Nice pen.' He thought. He rubbed his eyes when he thought the pen glowed. 'Impossible. I'm getting sleepy.' He lay down and brought Misao close to him. A contended sigh escaping his lips.
----------
Light knocking on a door interrupted the not too silent late Sunday morning. The two inhabitants of one of the rooms in Akebeko restaurant were oblivious of the sound. It was almost lunch but the two remained asleep. Soon the knocking was followed by a gentle voice calling to them.
"Aoshi-san. Misao-chan… wake up." Kenshin said. He knocked again but still he was unanswered.
"Why don't you just open the door and wake them up." Sano suggested, standing behind Kenshin.
"But they're tired maybe we should just let them sleep." Kenshin said, hesitant on invading their privacy.
"They just have to wake up and eat. They haven't eaten dinner last night and they skipped breakfast again." Sano said.
"Ok." Kenshin nodded his head. He opened the door and peak inside. What he saw made him close the door abruptly. Eyes a little wide, his face a portrait of shock.
"What happened?" Sano asked, surprised at Kenshin's reaction. What made him react like that? "What did you saw?" He asked.
"Nothing." Kenshin replied. "We better leave them alone." Kenshin suggested taking hold of Sano's arm to drag him away.
"Wait. I want to see." Sano went to the door.
"We should not barge in uninvited it's not proper, that it is." Kenshin said. That increased his interest to see what was inside the room that made Kenshin react like that. "I'll just take a pe––-" Sanosuke opened the door, when he looked inside he stopped and just stare and stare and stare... Kenshin was beside him also staring inside the room. After a full minute of complete silence Kenshin did the honor of closing the door.
"I better start cooking lunch." Kenshin said breaking the silence and then he went downstairs. Sanosuke was left still facing the closed door. He chuckled then put his hands inside his pocket and finally went down to help Kenshin on the restaurant. Its already late they should open up for their waiting customers and from what he saw in Aoshi's room, Sano was sure that his friend will be taking a day off… a whole day off!
"Aoshi… you sly dog. I knew you had it in you."

Hehehe… About your question the story is in alternate universe or alternate whatever they call it, so their ages are different from the anime series. I changed their ages and some facts about the characters so that they'll fit in my story so don't be confused. About Kenshin and Aoshi's education including Sano's, the truth is I totally forgot it. Hahaha! I haven't thought of them studying. Hehehe… gomen! Should I make them go to school or not? I'm open to suggestions so you can make any suggestions if you like and if I can put it in the story then I will. One more thing that I forgot… eheehehe! Kenshin's scar! Waaahhh! I'm so sorry! I will think about it… Kenshin with scar? Or without scar? Hmmm….
Lastly, for everyone I won't be able to update sooner because I'm so very busy this month because of my thesis and my thesis defense is coming up!waaahhh! I'm so scared! My midterm is coming too…waaahhhhh! Wish me luck. Promise the next chapter will be posted next month so wait for it ok! JA NE! THANKS AGAIN!
