A/N: Hiya! Back again. I am going to like this chapter. It is fully in Kenshin's P.O.V. alright. So here we go!

Memories On My Property

I looked at the clock as I wiped off the sweat that was on my face. It was only four in the morning. There was no way that I was going to be able to fall asleep with that dream, no that mightmare still in my head. I stood. I was still I the clothes that I had worn the day before and I was looking to the ground at my feet. I picked out something from the bag of clothes that Kaoru had bought me and I drssed quickly. It was a light blue dress shirt and black pants. Just alittle formal. I walked to the bathroom. My hair was an utter mess. I ran my hand over the scar and sighed. I didn't know when Kaoru was going to wake or even Yahiko. I didn't know what to do.

I went back out and sat on the couch. My mind was racing to quickly. What was Kaoru going to do? Where was she going to take me? I didn't know. She said that I was going to try and get a job, at least temporarily. She said that we were going to try where I had previously worked that way I knew exactly what I was doing. I guess that was alright.

Till about five thirty I watched t.v. There wasn't much else that I could do without waking them. When it came to be five-thirty I went into the kitchen and I started to make breakfast. Miso and tea would work. I didn't know what Kaoru liked or Yahiko so I was trying to do something that was simple.

I heard an alarm clock go off around five-forty five. I supposed it was Kaoru's. She must have had to get up early for her job. Yahiko got up with her which was surprising. They had both went to the bathroom after yelling at each other who would go first. Yahiko apparently got in first because he got into the kitchen rubbing his eyes and yawning. Kaoru was right behind him closing her robe She had her hair braided and hanging over her shoulder. She stared at me,as did Yahiko and he said." Why the heck are you up so early Kenshin? You must get up with the chickens," I supposed that Yahiko wasn't use to breakfast being ready for him. I put the miso in bowls and poured tea, They took it to the table and strarted to eat. Yahiko was still falling asleep. Kaoru had woken him several times.

" Kenshin, I'm taking you to the station and you are getting a job kay?" she said. I nodded. I understood why she wanted me to have a job," You are not going to be a free- loader. Even if it is only for a week," she said. I was right.

" I fully understand Kaoru-dono, that I do," Yahiko looked to me and gave this weird look.

" Why do you talk like that?" he asked.

" Sessha always talks like this, that I do," I said. I couldn't tell if he was curious or thinking I really was crazy.

" Kenshin," I looked to Kaoru." Don't talk like that. You are not worthless," she said. I gave a smile and shook my head. I noticed that she had pulled my attention away so she could place the medicine. I was no idiot. I excepted it however and ate.

Kaoru and I went to the car. She was ready to get going while I admired her house. I couldn't help it. That was me. Mr. Curious. " Kenshin, come on," she sat down and I sat in the passenger seat. She had gotten us there quickly and she pulled me in. The builing was different than I first remembered. Then again, changes happen alot over the years. The one thing that I did remember was the sapphire blue carpet. At least it was still there. Megumi looked up from the receptionist desk and looked at Kaoru with a smile. But when her eyes turned to me there were almost tears. She stood up even though she had been on the phone and ran over hugging me.

" Ken-san! Your back!" she was yelling it. The yell had brought attention and many people were looking toward me.

"It is very good to see you too Megumi-dono, that it is," I said and hugged her back. Kaoru was lookng at us as I let go and several others came over.

" Kenshin. I didn't think I'd see you. It's been way to long,"

" Misao-chan. It's nice to see you. And still worked up as ever I see," I gave her a hug as well." You haven't changed all that much have you Misao-chan," her foot was rubbing on the ground.

" I wish I could say the same about you Kenshin," she looked over her shoulder at Sano. he had placed his hand on her shoulder and walked by her.

" Kenshin," he came over and the hug he gave was crushing, but it always was." Nice to see you again buddy," he said smiling wide.

" Hai, it is," I said. I was smiling alot too. All my old friends were still here. It was great. I looked by Kaoru and I saw Aoshi. He wasn't smiling but a crack and he still had his hands stuffed in his pockets. He must have just gotten here.

" It's nice to see you again Aoshi," I extended my hand. Then my friends saw how they were clawed at. I looked as Aoshi pulled his hands out of his pockets and walk closer. He shook my hand and gave a brief hug. It was scaring me." Are you alright Aoshi?" I asked as I looked at him. He gave a bit more of a smile and nodded. Well at least he was still himself.

" It's just been awhile Himura. I had to do something for a friend," his voice was low as he looked at me. Everyone was also staring at Aoshi as though he were crazed. He began to walk away.

" Well, that was certainly out of the blue," Kaoru was staring at Aoshi as he turned a corner. I shook my head.

" That's Aoshi-sama for you. He's always surprising," Misao said. I looked as an elevator started to come down. I was wondering who it could be. Kaoru looked to the door as well. I saw the bit of concern on her face. I looked until the door opened and everyone saw my face turn real sour whe Enishi stepped out of the elevator. He was giving this smeirking smile as he walked out and looked to everyone.

" Well isn't this a merry celebration," he said. He walked over to Kaoru." Morning Honey," he kissed her. She didn't seem to enjoy it that much.

" Good morning dear," she said and seemed to straighten up.

" What are we celebrating?" he looked around and his eyes laid on me.

" Konichiwa Yukishiro-san," I said trying not to let my voice sound angry.

" Ah, Himura-san. It has certainly been awhile hasn't it," he said in a mocking way." What would bring you here. Shouldn't you be in an assylum?" he asked. I looked at him and everyone in the room was braced to stop me from lunging at him and ripping his head off.

" I have been given parole Yukishiro-san," I said politely." I have come here to ask a job," I said. Kaoru looked to Enishi and smiled a bit. He looked at me and circled me.

" Still need a haircut I see," he tugged my hair. I tried not to flinch. " I don't know. You did kill my sister. Who said you won't try to kill someone else?" I closed my eyes and sighed.

" For a week Enishi. I ask you. I will be here only a week," I said in reassurance but my temper was ready to burst. I saw Kaoru beginning to reach into her purse.

" I suppose. But one slip up and it's back to where you came from," he said. I smiled and excepted." Oh and you might want to find some water and a mop. The third floor is a mess," I clenched my fist where my nails were practically in my palm as he walked away. Sano put his hand on my shoulder and I calmed down.

" Don't worry buddy. You get paid for doing nothing. A janitor is not bad here and not really needed. Just do it when you think necessary. Most of the time Enishi isn't here. So keep that in mind," I nodded and started to find a closet that had cleaning items in it.

Later that day I asked Kaoru if it was alright to go on my own. She said not to be gone to long. I nodded and started out. I knew where I was going but I didn't know why. I thought maybe it was a good idea to do so.

I grabbed a bus and I went to the outskirts of town. There was a farm there. It was my and my father's farm. He had adopted me but I considerd him a father. I exited the bus and ran out into the field. The sun was about to sink as I rushed in. The grass had not been cut in quite some time. It was at least to my thighs. There was all kinds of colors but it was mostly dead grass. I looked around. I had taken a way that was seldom taken. I knew just about all the entrances to our little farmhouse.

I looked around. In front of me was a tree. It wasn't far away. There was a lake next to it. I always considered it a lake. It was a pond but it went deep if you went far enough. there was also a white picket fence that was chipped of it's paint. And just below the hill was the farmhouse. It had a black roof and a red coat of paint that once again was chipped.

I sat down at the bank of the pond and looked in. I saw my reflection. I sure had changed. I continued to stare my finger swirling around the water. I then saw what I thought that I never would. I might have been going a tad crazy but even regular people could see this. I saw her face. Tomoe's pale face smiling in the water. Her eyes I could see straight into and I loved them. The moon shined in the water as the face disappeared. I understood. i then looked to the tree. There was a heart with the initials KH & TY. It was our's. I then saw what had happened when I had first net her. It was a day like this. It was when the sun was setting. I was seventeen years old. I was out raking up hay for the horses. We only had a few at the time. All the animals now were gone...

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

I looked as I heard it. A scream. There was a girl with pale skin running woth her dress in her hands/ It was a light dress that was a blue color with flowers decorating it. Sge continued to run looking behind her. Then I saw what she was running from. Our bull. Otou-san had kept him for training for me. To teach me to run. I held the rake as I watched the girl run into our lake until it was to her shoulders at least. I took the rake and ran quickly. She had cringed as I ran in front of the bull. " Back! Back!" I yelled as I shoved the rake's pole into the bulls head. He snorted and walked away.

Dropping the rake I looked to the girl and held out my hand. She walked up, the mud keeping her in a bit. I took her hand and pulled her up. She gave a smile as she put her arms around her body.

" Domo Arigatou uh..."

" Kenshin, Himura Kenshin," I said and held out my left hand. She looked and took it.

" I shouldn't touch it. I could ruin your cast," I looked at my hand. Yep, that's what I get for messing with the bull.

" I did it a few weeks ago. Don't worry," I looked to the shivering girla s I started to lead her to the farm.

" What is your name?" I asked and she smiled.

" Tomoe, Yukishiro Tomoe," she said and I knew that I would like her fro that moment on.

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

The memory faded and another appeared. We sat on the tree just carving the heart and I looked to her. I leaned in and kissed her. That was only a few weeks after I met her. It was a cute scene. And one of my first kisses. Otou-san liked her alot. That's when I wondered. Did Otou-san still live here?
