Hi all, sorry it's been so long, but I've been really really busy with
school and Region Choir Tryouts, but those are over and I'm back!
YES, I do have my reasons for 'picking' on Yahiko, but I will not tell you why, but please tell me what you think of my story. Smile.
Disclaimer: I do not own either anime, although I would a late birthday present. :) Ha hah ha.
Chapter 5: Letter
Karou walked in the room and found an empty bed. "That's strange," she said. "Would she have been up this early? Could she have left?" She left and rounded the corner to wake Kenshin up, but there, too, she found an empty bed. "Strange." Her words were cut off by the sounds of laughter out front of the dojo. "Hey what's going here?" she demanded but stopped when she saw eggs cooking in a pan {I do not know if this is so, but oh well} and Makoto talking with Kenshin and Sanosuke.
"Well, good morning, sleepy-head," she smiled. "I'm just making breakfast." Her sword was lying on the ground next to Kenshin's and she dished up the eggs. "Would you like some?"
Shocked, Karou nodded, accepting a plate offered to her. She took a bite and immediately smiled. "Delicious!!" she exclaimed and sat down next to Kenshin. "What's your secret?"
"Trust me, you would not want to know my secrets," she said darkly. This went unnoticed however, because just then Ayame and Susume {no idea how to spell their names, so forgive me} arrived calling, "Uncle Kennie, Uncle Kennie!"
They all laughed as they knocked Kenshin to the ground and dragged him off to play. Makoto stood up, picking up her sword, and walked out of the dojo. "Where are you going?" Megumi asked and followed her. Karou decided that he needed some tofu and left after the two women, leaving Yahiko in Sanosuke's, Sojiro's and Dr. Genzi's capable hands.
Megumi and Karou walked shortly behind Makoto, who stopped at the Akabeko and asked for some sake to go. She urged the others to go with her to the deserted lake and talk together. She gave them the sake and urged them to drink up. Their laughs echoed into the nearby woods as the sun began to set.
Meanwhile.
Sanosuke checked on Yahiko as Dr. Genzi helped Kenshin, keeping the two girls off of him wasn't exactly an easy thing. "But I wanna play with Uncle Kennie!" they cried loudly as Sojiro just looked on smiling.
He turned and looked at the gorgeous colors of the sunset. The purple hues and the fiery sun gave him hope for the future as they sent their rays across the land. "Excuse me," a voice said and he jumped.
"Can I do something for you?" Sojiro asked as he faced an mailman handing him a letter.
"Yes, actually. I have a letter here for a Mr. Himura. Would you happen to know where I can find him?" he asked offering Sojiro the letter.
"I can take it for him," he smiled taking it from him. He motioned over his shoulder, where Ayame and Susume had managed to slip away from their grandfather and were attacking Kenshin at the moment. "Kenshin's a bit preoccupied at the moment." He stood and walked over to them, pulling Ayame off of Kenshin's back.
"Thanks," he said, as the threesome disappeared around the corner. "They just wouldn't leave me alone, that they wouldn't."
Sojiro pulled out the letter and handed it to Kenshin, "I almost forgot. This came by for you earlier. I couldn't give it to you then because of the girls."
"Speaking of which," Kenshin said, opening the letter. "I haven't seen Karou or the others for quite some time now. Wonder where they." He cut off as he read the page.
"What is it?" Sojiro asked. Kenshin handed him the letter and he quickly read it: 'Battousi, I find it amazing that you let four of your friends fall so easily into my hands. I thought you would have been more careful then that but it looks as I overestimated you. If you ever wish to see Karou, Megumi, or Makoto alive again I suggest you come to the opening the woods at dawn. Be prepared to fight. I guess you could bring your friends, if they wish to see your blood. Your blood will spill tomorrow morning then, or one of the three girls at least. So be there at dawn and no later. For after every hour thereafter, one will die. Until then, Battousi. Shinnigami'
