Chapter Five: Discoveries Made
The dojo stood in silence as Akio moved around shutting doors and preparing for his niece's arrival to meet him. He finished his work and took a step back to be certain everything was ready. A soft laugh directly behind him caused him to jump forward and swing around in a defensive posture. There she stood, Kaoru Kamiya, proud as her father and beautiful as her mother.
"You requested my presence?" she asked softly, he nodded and dropped his form while sheathing his sword. He stared straight into her gold and sapphire eyes that stared at him coolly, the mirth of moments before gone.
"I merely wished to see if you were still as fast as in your youth." She raised a dark eye brow in curiosity, "it is no slant against you, but I know that with age our bodies tend to slow." She nodded as he turned and grabbed a set of weights with wrist bands. "These should be familiar to you my niece," again she nodded and helped him tie them to her limbs.
They stood opposite each other waiting for the one to make a move. Kaoru growled in her mind, her patience gone with this matter as she attacked. Block, parry, thrust, block, block, thrust. Again and again they attacked each other until well into the afternoon when Ayame approached the dojo to summon them for lunch.
"Ahem," she coughed loudly to get the attention of the blurs. When she was ignored, she growled quite impressively at them and yelled, "Stop!" They listened and dropped to the ground in defensive forms. Kaoru stood with her sword slowly dropping to rest on the floor boards under her feet, while Akio rested on his good knee several yards away; his sword falling from its guarding place in front of his body.
"Thank you," Ayame sighed and looked closer at Kaoru, she was covered in sweat, and her breathing was heavy but not labored like their uncle's. "Cousin to the hot springs with you, I may not be the lady of this house but I have been its caretaker. I will not have you in that state at the family table, either of you." With that said Kaoru sheathed her sword and untied the weights from her body with Ayame's help. The two women left Akio to himself in the dojo and retreated to the bathing chambers.
"Oi," Akio muttered as he fell backward, his tired body giving out and his sword falling near by. It was a short while later that he heard what he'd been hoping for. The footsteps of a couple males, their voices speaking softly to each other of matters to which he did not care of. The door slid open, revealing Kenshin and Sanosuke. "Hello lads, a hand for an old man?" He watched them exchange a look and moved to help him up; holding him till his legs took his weight. "Sagara, hand me that cane against the door there. My bad leg is my problem today." Sano did as asked and handed the old swordsman the pale oak walking stick.
"What happened to you Akio-san," asked Kenshin slowly releasing the other fighter to his own accord.
"Training," was all he said as he stumbled out, leaning on the cane as he walked to the main house. Kenshin looked around the dojo observing the way that Akio had left it, noticing the weights and the chipped and splintered wood.
"This is strange," whispered Kenshin as he examined the wood of one of the pillars closer. Blade marks marred the formerly well carved wood.
"What is?"
"Look at the wood; it is covered in marks formed by a blade." He said walking over the floor to where the weights rested in a neat stack. "These weights are stacked," Sano just shrugged and pick one up to test it.
"Akio must've over done it a bit."
"Sano we found him over there," Kenshin said quite plainly as he pointed almost twenty feet away from where they stood. "The bands weren't cut, and if he had taken them off in the process then they would not be sitting here."
"Then who was using them?" Kenshin looked around him at the pale woods and mahogany beams and planks that made up the floor, walls and roof of the dojo. He wasn't ready to believe what he had been told, yet Sano deserved to know it. "Kenshin, man, tell me who you think it was."
"I went in search of Kaoru this morning, Ayame told me she had business with Akio this morning and that's why she wasn't at breakfast. I saw Saka a bit ago, and she told me that Kaoru had been here all morning." Sano looked at him like he had lost his mind.
"You can't be serious about thinking missy was the one using these this morning." Sano dropped the weight causing a dull thunk to sound in the almost empty room. Even Battousai was agreeing with the gangster. Kaoru is capable of a lot baka, but I doubt she is strong enough to throw around her body plus those weights while training. I am willing to agree that it might have been Kage though. Kenshin sighed deeply and turned his head slightly at the sound of the lunch bell. "Come on Kenshin, food sounds a hell of a lot better than solving this little "mystery", besides we can just try asking Akio again."
"Hai, lets eat," Kenshin silently followed the ex-gangster through the grounds to the dinning room; the rurounin was lost to his thoughts. Kage is on the grounds, remember fool? We felt her earlier. 'I know that, but we had request to be the first one she spoke with upon her arrival. Ayame knew that,' Kenshin was honestly confused and a little offended that Kage would not deem them worthy of granting a simple request for a meeting.
So distracted by his thoughts and conversation with his darker half was he that he almost ran into Sano, of who had stopped short at the door to the dinning room. The shorter male leaned around the former fighter for hire when he noticed a lack of sound. What he saw shocked him and caused his eyes to widen like saucers.
The Kamiya household sat around the table silently dressed in their formal family colors and crests. The table was decorated accordingly with the jade green of the Kamiya clan with the onyx dragon emblem in the center of the table. They all sat weaponless in their seats, a state that Kenshin had yet to see them in since the gumi's arrival. Their blades and weapons of preference lined the walls in an orderly fashion of rank in the house.
With the shock wearing off the duo took their appropriate seats at the table just as the door opened from the hall. Ayame stood beside Akio and aided the man who in that moment seemed so much older than he had that morning to his seat. She placed his sword and throwing knives on the wall above where she placed her daggers. The wall appeared to be an armory with all of the blades and other weapons that lined it. All seemingly of the same make, forged by the same flame, but she caught his eye as she stepped to the head of the table. Her head held high and a gentle almost invisible smile to her face and eyes.
"As you all know, our beloved Kage has returned and of her own will. Let us not anger her during her stay," she said crossly as she and everyone else turned to look at the former head, and her own father, Shin. "We all know that this battle will be hard on Yosaka, and on her. She will need our cooperation in all forms possible. Children you are blessed with a chance to show us just how grown up you are. Show your respect to her as she deserves and do not cross her. Our stories were very true of the bakamatsu." With her speech finished she sat down to the right of the head of the table.
The doors once more opened, revealing the now long awaited Kage.
"Kaoru?" whispered Yahiko from beside Akio, his eyes wide and his jaw slack with shock and if Kenshin was right, fear. Yet the boy was right, there she stood for all to see.
Her silken midnight hair was pulled back in the old style of the samurai as it hung down her back like water in movement. Her form was clothed as Kenshin remembered it during the war, the jade gi and black hakama hung to hide her femininity. The black dragon hung on her right shoulder glaring sharply at all who dared to look or approach her. The part that disturbed Kenshin was her eyes. They were no longer the loving deep blue sapphire eyes that he could so easily drown in, no, now they were a dark honey gold. Only a small ring of sapphire remained to show her loving soul that was hiding within.
Kenshin felt his insides turn to ice at the sight that stood before him and moved to the head of the table with an unknown grace. He could see wonder and fear in Yahiko's eyes and felt a strong pull of confusion from Sano who sat at his side. Kenshin shook his head when Yahiko opened his mouth to say something, but Sano slipped and spoke for the group before Kenshin could stop him.
"Kaoru?" he spoke just loud enough to be heard by those at the head of the table. Yet she barely showed any sign of recognition as she sat in her place. The seat to the left, the place of her husband, was empty while Ayame sat at her right. Sano tried again, "Kage?" Anger laced his confusion as he spoke straight forward to the returned hitoriki. "What in the hell is going on here!" Ayame moved to quite him, but Kage raised her hand in silence and turned to him, her eyes devoid of emotions
"All will be explained after the midday meal," was all she said as the servants rushed in with the food and just as quickly disappeared through the door from which they came. They family waited for Kage to eat the first bite before they began eating and remained as silent as their guardian through out the meal. Once she finished she rose and left through the garden door. At least she tried.
"You promised us an explanation, Kaoru never broke her promises," Yahiko's voice spoke of desperation but when Kenshin looked in the young man's eyes he saw determination. It seems the boy is full of more surprises than we thought, Battousai purred with satisfaction at Kage's iron rod back. She looked over her shoulder at Yahiko with calm golden eyes, which held a silent heat of anger that burned within their depths. Kenshin could feel the tension in the room between the family members and friends around the long table.
"The dojo," with those soft spoken words Kage was gone and Ayame was slumped against Akio with a sigh of relief. She quickly rose and left the dinning area as the family moved to go about their afternoons. Kenshin could bet that she had a few new errands to tend to in regards to the meeting.
. . .
The group settled in a familiar half circle while Akio stood against the open door with his hands resting on his cane. Ayame was busying herself with pouring a few cups of tea and a saucer of sake for her uncle and Kage; who sat silently before them. They saw their sister, their loved one, but she wasn't the one that was staring at them coolly through half lidded golden eyes. Kenshin could feel Battousai stunned and silent, it was very unnerving.
"Aya, Akio, please leave us?" the words, though a question, were stated in a very simple but kind dismissal of the two family members of who obeyed. "I know you want answers, you've every right to them," she said softly as she turned her eyes down. Kage sighed and the group watched her shoulders slump slightly as they did whenever Kaoru admitted defeat against them.
"Are you the cause of Kaoru's nightmares?" Yahiko asked gently, not wishing to anger the hitoriki before him. His question brought all eyes to him in curiosity, "What? I was a thief before I was a student; I know how to do these things." Kage chuckled slightly and nodded.
"It was the memories," Yahiko made a sound of understanding, but his face still showed a lack of it causing her to laugh. "I think I should start from the beginning. I am Kaoru Kage Kamiya, head of the Kamiya clan and lady of Yosaka, fifth Master of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu and the third Master of the Minshu Ryu." She bowed slightly to them as their jaws dropped.
"Kaoru has a middle name?" exclaimed Sano which in turned caused Kage to sigh deeply.
"I am Kaoru; I'm just a darker half of her. A part our parents had tried to prevent but their death at our tender age of six made that hard." Her voice, Kenshin swore, could freeze water.
"What would you have us call you then Jo-chan?"
"Not that, if you must call me anything then let it be Kage. That is how Yosaka knows me, and that is how I shall remain." That stirred Battousai from his slumber of shock. What! She can't be serious! As if she could hear the hitoriki shouting in his mind, her golden and sapphire eyes turned to him. "When this battle is over, I do not know what will come to pass, but I shall remain a part of the woman you knew." This should be interesting then; drawled Battousai, as he began pacing and listening to the conversation being held until Yahiko asked to be released to practice and Sano went with the boy to make sure he didn't get killed.
"You had your own words you wished to share am I correct Battousai?" Kenshin nodded as he felt the manslayer within him pushing to the surface. He noticed her smirk and felt the last of his restraints leave him.
"An offer of peace," he said deeply, his voice dropped two octaves lower than normal announcing the Battousai's presence.
"Your reason being for the sake of the woman you love," she stated staring him straight in his golden eyes.
"Hai," she sighed and rubbed her temple slightly.
"This shall be an interesting list of events then,"
"And why? Because you are living within Kaoru's body?" he felt the movement before he saw her move as her sword, although sheathed, rested at his throat. He couldn't help the smirk at the show of her temper as Kenshin asked him what he was thinking.
"She and I are one, as we were born to be. My parents…" her words trailed as she spoke, almost as if she was realizing that she was about to share something private. Kage rose to her feet grabbing the bottle of sake and placing her sword on the ground where she has sat. Her movements showed the grace of a feline and killer that Battousai and Kenshin had never seen a woman possess as she walked to the open door to look across the gardens.
He joined her at the door to see Yahiko walking through a few simple drills with Akio yelling at his mistakes. They stood in companionable silence and he noticed a slight grin on her lips when Yahiko tripped over a move and Akio could be clearly heard cursing at the boy's stupidity. Ayame and Sano sat on the near by walkway, Ayame was blushing from her uncle's choice of words and Sano was close to falling off the walkway from laughter.
"I will accept the treaty of peace; we all need to live and preferably with harmony between the two of us. If not for the sake of our own health, than for their sake, I doubt they could handle us fighting like we used to." Her voice was soft and warm, something that startled him into a small oro. It caused her to chuckle deeply with true laughter as she turned to face him with her sake bottle raised. "To our new lives, may the peace we hold last us a lifetime."
Their containers clinked and they drank deeply. Kage sighed and shook her head with a smirk as he asked her what she was grinning about. "It's nothing really, I was just remembering the old days. If anyone honestly asked me thirteen years ago that I would cross paths with you in a peaceable manner I would have slit their throats for their stupidity." He nodded in agreement.
"Let me guess you imagined I'd be dead by the end of the war so you'd never cross paths with me again?" She nodded as her smirk became a full grin.
"I made a promise to Tae after I returned from that fight; I swore I would never draw my sword again." She sighed and moved back to the cushions to rest and grabbed a new sake bottle. She grumbled something under her breath about promises and youth.
"And here you are, ready to fight for your kin and home."
"And yet you are here too," she said softly with a look in her eyes that froze his blood. "Let's not forget that this is against my will."
"You are a hitoriki by nature," HA! Two can play this game! Thought Battousai while he could feel Kenshin pace within their mind and curse at him for the anger he could feel from Kage. He watched as Kage visibly leashed her temper and took another drink, this time from the bottle.
"How are we supposed to live peaceably if we keep taking shots at each other like this?" she asked as she sunk into the pillows around her and stared at him. He shrugged and took a drink from his cup then settled more comfortably in the pillows surrounding him.
"Mayhap it is a sign that we should let them surface?" Kage shook her head against his words and he asked why.
"Kaoru wished to sleep," he guessed that he had a questioning look cause she rubbed her temple slightly as spoke. "Twelve years has taken it toll on her."
"And just how is that?" he asked when she didn't seem to be more forthcoming with information. Her glare spoke levels but he still wasn't sure what was happening to his beloved to tire her so much.
"You," she said simply, voice blank, "You and him, your stunts." She grabbed the last sake bottle and rose from her seat while grabbing her sword. Kage moved to leave the dojo, but quickly found that she couldn't move. She could feel Kaoru stir within the depths of their mind and the faint pounding that was forming at the back of her skull where it hit the ground. Battousai's weight refused to yield so she could rise to check for bleeding on her scalp, his sheathed sword rested against her throat.
'Kage, what is going on?' Kaoru was still tired, she had been resting for almost two days and still her other half was not restored. Nothing my sister, Battousai and I merely had a… disagreement. 'Disagreement my foot, but I trust you can get our body out of this without too much damage. Just remember to be nice, I would like to marry Kenshin as a whole man.' Kage laughed silently as Kaoru retreated back to the depths to rest. She turned her attention back to the man pinning her to the ground in time to see the pain flash through his amethyst flecked eyes.
Kage forced her body to submit and relax under his hold. Battousai withdrew the sword, allowing her to breath properly again. He settled his weight across her hips and waist while the sword stayed in an easy use reach across his lap.
"How did I hurt her?" Kage knew why Kaoru love Kenshin, but the man was giving her a headache of which she had never felt before. "Tell me Kage," Battousai tensed as she tried to move and check her head with a free hand.
"It's not my place to tell," she paused to touch the soreness of a forming lump with a wince. "And yet I will tell you something if you agree to get off of me." He nodded but did not move, causing her to bite back a growl as she thought of how to word what needed to be said without ruining things. "When you walk away, every time you do that, you hurt us more then you realize." Kage watched his golden eyes widen slightly as he lifted his weight from her body. Instead of sitting back on the pillows he walked out the door to the gardens. She rose and watched him walk in a daze, probably more confused than he had been in a long time. When his path veered to the thick trees off to the right, she felt a lash of tension slap her shoulders.
. . . . .
His trek was slow and distracted as he wove through the trees and under low branches. Kage's words ringing through his mind, showing him what he had denied all the times he had walked away to fight some opponent. He had known that it was to protect Kaoru, and he knew that she knew that. We never thought how her heart felt, Kenshin agreed from within, having pulled himself away from the surface of their mind to relive the images of his beloved. 'Hai, we wanted her to live, we tried to avoid giving her something to hold, and yet we walked straight into her arms.'
Battousai's stepped halted as he found himself in a clearing, I've been here. 'No, we were near here; the trees are similar but older, much older.' Gravestones littered the ground; it had to be the Kamiya graveyard, Kaoru's kin. 'We shouldn't be here,' Kenshin said warily, I know that fool; but something is here that we are supposed to find. His golden eyes scanned the surrounding land again, hoping to find whatever had pulled him here. This was her reason, the fire in her eyes that day, she wasn't defending Yosaka it was her kin's resting place. She didn't want anyone to defile it.
"I see you found them," her voice was no more than a whisper, a brush of wind. It came from every where and no where as he searched the surrounding trees, and used his skills as a hitoriki to try and find her. Battousai sighed in defeat when he found that he couldn't find her.
"Come out Kage," Battousai hadn't expected her to listen to him as she stepped out from behind a large oak tree to his right, under which rested two markers. As Kage walked past them, he noticed her fingers casually brush one of the stones. Kenshin's insistent pacing ceased as they read what the stones said. Her chuckle brought them from their shock as she spoke.
"I almost killed you just for being near them, and yet this time you find them and I do nothing."
"Time changes the mind and heart like the stream does the river's course." Kenshin had spoken for that moment and was glad he had for it placed a smile on Kage's face, a real Kaoru like smile. "Why didn't you lead me away that day?"
"I didn't have the strength," Kage's words, though simple, explained the fire he had seen in her eyes during that final battle. Showed him how it was possible for Kaoru to have bared that same fire on the day they first met. Battousai nodded remaining silent with his observations. He looked to the sky and saw the start of twilight meaning dinner would be served shortly, and the family would wonder where they had gone.
"We should return, Ayame will worry," Kage stated as she brushed past him, only the barest hint of touch between their shoulders. He turned and found a trail that was worn betwixt a pair of medium sized willows whose branches served as a gate door of sorts. The very trail he must of unknowingly followed, or 'mayhap we were led down.' Battousai agreed with his gentle counterpart as he walked silently behind the former hitoriki.
I still can't believe that you asked me to let him see them. 'I didn't,' Kaoru was finally regaining her strength and was wake. But it didn't help that their head still hurt from where it had met the hard wood of the dojo floor. Then who did my sister? The girl did not answer; you don't honestly think it was her do you? 'She was the one who said that anything was possible if the Kami so deemed it. Perhaps they felt he needed to see that.' Kage had the impression of Kaoru shrugging her shoulders in defeat.
Kage sigh inwardly, not wanting Battousai to know she was dealing with this much confusion. First Shin somehow brought to life the feud that she thought she had laid to rest during the war, and then Kage was given her freedom to do what had to be done. To make matters worse Kenshin and Battousai were bringing feelings to the surface in both sides of her that she didn't know how to handle, and now a woman whom they thought had truly left them alone was once more playing with their mind.
'I know Kenshin would be willing to listen, maybe Battousai will be willing to help us?' Iie, I will not ask him, this is not truly his mess. Our beloved uncle placed this family in danger once more and as its guardian and lady it is our place to deal with this. Kaoru seemed upset with this answer, or maybe it was the hidden spirit who had played teacher and guide for so long again.
Kage took a deep breath of the forest air, stopping short when something seemed out of place. Battousai's steps halted with hers as she allowed her senses to span. Her nose picked up the faint smell of coal and wood fires, something that the house fires were not made up of. Her ears picked up the sound of metal clinking in an odd pattern, it was faint but enough for her to figure out where it was coming from. Southeast, a few miles away from the city's main gates, Kage moved to leave and make an example of a few of the fools when she remembered Battousai.
"Continue without me Battousai."
"No"
"Yes" Her voice held the obvious command as her eyes met his for a brief moment, gold meeting gold. She sighed deeply and rubbed lightly at her left temple warding off the headache she could feel forming behind her eyes. "Stay in one piece," Kage leapt into a run with her words and left his to follow at her heels
'Stay in one piece?' if I'm right then it means that our beloved's enemy is near, and more so than they are supposed to be. Kenshin remained silent with his question answer he felt no need to speak up against the side of him that could fight with deadly precision, protecting what they felt needed to be.
Kage slowed and leapt upward into the thick lower branches of a nearby oak. He came to a stop beneath her, yet she motioned him to join her on the branch. Once settled she moved some of the leaves aside allowing fire light to show. So I was right, campfires lit the clearing very well within the twilight hour. It was filled with soldiers, filled to the brim with drunken soldiers. He turned to ask her their approach but he found her gone. 'I had a feeling she would do this to us, that I did.' she was called the shadow hitoriki. Battousai sighed inwardly as he scanned the grounds littered by fires.
Everything was so very simple in its set up, the main wagons were space around the clearing, and the elegant tents were at the far end of the clearing where the trees seemed thicker. Within the wagons the fires were spaced out proportionately so that six fires filled the opening with light.
"Let us be gone," the gentlest whisper of wind that was the only way describe her voice in that moment and it completely caught him off guard. His fast grip on the branch beneath his feet was the only thing keeping him from falling. He felt a poke on the top of his head and looked up. There she was, hanging upside down from a branch above his head a few feet, and her eyes were bright. They reminded him of when Kaoru was laughing or just plain happy. He nodded as she flipped and landed next to him only to launch herself off to another. Oh this should be interesting, 'this was never a strong point for us and you know it, hit the ground.'
It wasn't until they reached the family garden that they stopped to breathe. Kage stood tall with Battousai just in front of her, he turned to ask her what she had done but just as he turned she started laughing. Well she's full of surprises tonight, he could tell she was trying to say something but not what. When her laughter calmed enough to speak and allow her to stand somewhat straight again, he finally understood her.
"I wish that you, oh kami, the look on your face." She shook her head with a bright smile, "I will never forget it, that I shall not." At least she finds it humorous, muttered Battousai dryly. Kage wiped her eyes of the laughter tears, the sparkle of mirth in her eyes made him warm inside despite his efforts to be offended.
"Are you finished?"
"Hai," he grunted at the laughter still bouncing in the single word.
"So what did you do?" His question produced the jingling sound of metal as she held up a ring of keys at their eye level. Her smile became a feral grin as she spoke.
"I warned them once, I will not take any chances with my family's lives." She tucked the keys into the gi which he just noticed was hugging her tired air thirsty body a little tighter. He felt his own body tighten in response as Battousai's mind wandered leaving Kenshin in control once more.
"What good does that do, that I wonder," Kenshin watched her roll her eyes at his tone.
"These keys are to the weapons wagons, aside from a few smaller weapons, they now have nothing. My people will stand a chance if they try to surprise us." He nodded as she walked past him toward the lighted dinning area that held its doors open. Ayame stood there, a slightly heavier shawl wrapped around her shoulders. Worry shone in her deep colored eyes as they approached. Kage shook her head at her cousin's attempts to ask her any questions. "Let us eat cousin Akio, we need to speak when the meal is finished." Her uncle simply nodded and the meal when eaten once more in silence.
Kage audibly sighed once the family had been dismissed from the dinning hall. Akio sat silently nursing a cup of sake, Ayame had refused to leave the hall so at Akio side she sat prim as ever. Sano and Kenshin both rested against different pillars near the door enjoying the cool breeze.
"What did you see at the camp neice?"
"Many fighters, most young and brash, they will be trained but true combat they've never seen."
"But?" Ayame's question brought all of their attention to her more sharply.
"He is among them, I felt him. Ayame I am beginning to rethink this whole plan,"
"No" Ayame stopped her with a anger filled with ice and a hint of fear. Kage responded with hot anger as she growled her cousin's name. "No cousin, I will not have you die for anything. You've as much right to live as I do." Kage saw Kenshin stiffen at the mention of her dying.
"What do you mean," Kage glared at Ayame, trying to silence her cousin but it has no effect on their uncle as he set his cup down.
"The son of our opponent, he has an affliction of sorts for the lady of our family since the lot were children."
"Uncle" both women turned on him with hot anger as Kage's eyes flashed a brighter shade of gold.
"Enough girls," his firm voice silence them both as he continued. "He became violent in his attentions just as Ayame fully bloomed into the maiden that she is now. He, like anyone beyond the city's people, believed that she was our lady, that she was Kaoru." He took a long drink of sake before he spoke again. "During the battle Ayame's life was held at point and Kage did the only thing she could, betrayed the evidence. She yelled her cousin's true name, it brought everything back to our guardian and she dragged the last of the battle from the confines of our walls. That was the last we saw of her. A young scout had been sent to find her, he returned two days later with one of Kage's wrist braces covered in blood. We assumed the worse.
I was the one who contacted Tae in Tokyo to ask if she has seen my niece, and it was she whom said that she had, but only in passing." With those words, he turned his attention to Kage as she drank deeply of her sake bottle. "Tae had written that she was heavily injured but had refused aide, only asking for food and water as she passed through. I had always wondered if it were true."
"Are you through uncle?" Kage said softly as she stood, "Ayame will you join me in the baths. We need to speak," her golden eyes scanned the three males, "in private."
………….
Okay, sorry about the god awful long wait folks. All shit hit the fan and it took me a little longer than I had expected to get everything under control again. I promise that I am working on the next chapter but I am working full time and trying to keep myself from going crazy due to stress. I will hopefully have another for you in a week or so. So in the mean time enjoy!
