Author's note: hmm? Lets see whos POV should this one be? Well I had an idea of having Kambei back in but this is a hardcore drama chapter and- *covers mouth* oops… ah… anyways I think kiku wants a turn to have a few words what do you think its show time for all our fav. S7 character KIKUCHIYO! Ok Kirara told Kambei and the others to LEAVE. But was that really to them all or just Kambei himself? Ohh that's a tough one huh? Haha well-read and find out

KIKUCHIYO'S POV

Chapter 5: Stay.

Holy cow!? Did Kirara just yell!? I don't know about everyone else but if I was still fully human I would have carped my pants just now! I mean she yelled! And at Kambei no less! I THOUGHT SHE 'LOVED' THE GUY! I mean who wouldn't? I DO! Well not like that kind of love! Come on people stay with me!

"Kirara want are you doing?" yeah some old lady came into the hut while Kambei and Kirara were having a face-off.

"Amara!" little Komachi literally ran to the old hag… well I don't think 'Little'… but still she ran! "PLEASE HELP!"

"Kirara lay back down. Your pushing your body past its own limits!" well at less I ant bored like I thought I would be.

"listen to her." Kambei said… but Kirara said nothing, while Katsu watched on to see what would happen more than any of us were. Oh boy LOVE-TRIANGLE! "and we are not leaving" go Kambei set her straight!

"you fools go before its to late. Before they find you here! Before they know who you are! PLEASE LEAVE NOW!"

"huh!?" ok I think we're all confused…? Mainly Kambei.

Tears started to form… ok back up! A moment ago she wanted us to leave and I mean it sounded like she meant it to! But know it kinda feels like she does really want us to stay? "please go…" her grip loosened and I think if it weren't for Kambei… who caught her by the way… Kirara would have gone face first onto the floor. "your presences here could put us all in greater danger." What was she talking about? Heck we beat the Nobuseri what is there we can't beat! We took down the capital! Defeated ukyo! I nearly go smashed by that large airship if I hadn't for that huge sword lying around!

"tell me." Woah-ho-ho-ho! What this? Kambei comforting Kirara? He has his arms around her! And Kirara is letting her whole body rest against Kambei like no tomorrow! I bet Katsu is ready to break out the sword Kambei gave to him! Hahaha man this is great!

And on top of which im not sure if kirara's face is red because of her fever or because Kambei is holding her! Hahaha but who cares really, aside from Katsushiro? "You're the leader of the 7 samurai who saved our village 8 years ago you tell me, what would any army would do if their target where to gain higher security." Ohhhh… now I get it… I think?

I heard Kambei sigh. "here take her." Aw man I guess the show is over. Seeing as Kambei was ready to hand Kirara over to the old woman. "lay her back down."

"of course great samurai."

But just as Kambei was ready to give her over to Amara. Kirara grad onto him again, this time by his sleeves. "Wait!" I am not bored anymore! Looking back at each other again Kirara asked one question. "what are you going to do?"

"lay back down and rest." With that Kambei walked to the door. "when you wake up again you'll now the choice I have made." He walked out, just like that.

All of us were amazed… but Kirara wasn't.

"well that's Kambei for you." Heihachi joked. "I don't think I'll ever understand that guy even those he is our leader."

"you got that right Heihachi. But even so its funny how we will follow him anywhere." Gorobei and Heihachi both smiled. I didn't really care I was going to stay one way or the other! I didn't have a near death experience to save this village and have that go to waste if it gets burned down by same wanna be ninjas!... "huh?" hold on was it just me or did I just hear Kirara say 'fool' or 'fools'? ah.., it didn't matter…

Ok there you go and now the pairing sets off! Haha I love kiku! doing his POV was fun xD my sister keep calling me a Baka and said I should of done this chapter in Katsushiro POV. But i said "screw that! It has to be kiku!" haha anyways review and wait for the next chapter. Ask me question and give me ideas I'll be sure to give your ideas credit if they are placed somewhere in the story :) don't be shy people cuz we all know kiku isn't.
