Arthurs note: ok back the the story again. So, so far we see that Kambei is alittle freaked out about the scar and the side of kirara's face. Now we learn about the samurai and her scar ;)
I don't own samurai 7! (wish I did but I am not getting pay for this sadly) oh well I guess
Im not the best writer in the world but like I always say "I tried, cant blame me for that!" haha
But doing this story I kind of really though about what Kirara was feeling having Kambei and Katsushiro back in her life. :O
Chapter 9: kanna's tale part 3: only one wish.
"but in the end theirs tides with us have ended."
"huh? Did you say something Rikichi?"
"ah did I say that out load." Rikichi scratched the back of his head.
Sanea gave her husband look of question and shook her head. "no never mind."
Rikichi looked down at his empty bowl, thoughts ran through his mind, but not just his. Young Komachi was more or less thinking the same thing.
"don't worry the two of you." The elder, with a clam face looked at the two, "Kirara will be happy to know the reason the samurai is here."
"will she elder? What news did the samurai bring with him?" Tetsu truly wanted to know, if it was something that can make her granddaughter smile again its was all she need to know.
"he only wishes one thing, and that is to…"
Outside Kirara stood face to face with the strange new samurai that had come to see her out of nowhere. He wore a blue kimono with a flower pattern and had a disho set at his waste. His hakamas was gray, with a white obi wrapped around his hip. "you should come inside great samurai you could catch a cold if you stay out here?"
The samurai smiled, after all he had never meet such a modest woman as Kirara. "it quite alright my lady. But you should use those blankets for yourself, I won't be needing them." He got up and moved his black hair from his face. "my name is Tenshi Otori." Tenshi was just as tall as Kambei or perhaps Gorobei. He had dark blue eyes and a lovely smile.
"so hes the samurai that came for sister?" Komachi, Sanea and Rikichi watched the scene from behind the window, making sure they were not to be seen.
"he quite hansom, Kirara sure is a luckly one." Sanea said, before she was interrupted by a cough from her husband. "I'm only kidding dear."
Unaware of the three that watched them Kirara wrapped the blanket around her as she held the other in her hand. "if you are unwilling to go inside please make it quick what you wish to tell me."
Tenshi smiled.
Kirara took a step back as he came closer to her.
"I wish for only one thing, my lady please give me the greatest of honor and… become my wife!"
Kirara said nothing, she was more then shocked by his words.
…
"did she take it!?" Kikuchiyo leaped forward at Rikichi. "WELL?"
"K-Kikuchiyo?" Rikichi fell back when the red samurai came within an inch of his face."
"yeah I mean if a good looking guy like that came along, wouldn't any girl jump to marry him?" Gorobei scratched the back of his head, while Heihachi nodded with he's statement, his mouth to full of rice to say words of his own.
Shichiroji how ever knew a little better. "well a year just went by, the girl probably still has mixed feelings."
"Mixed feelings you say." Katsushiro could only think about Kirara and her feelings for his sensei… he wondered if even now she still had them.
"no she didn't."
"huh?" all heads turned to the darkened doorway."
"WHOSE THERE? COME ON SHOW YOURSELF!" Kikuchiyo was the first to reach for his sword.
"man you a'tay put a lamp or something there Rikichi." Gorobei joked.
"I suppose you're right Gorobei-sama, but if I had to guess, it sounds like Kambei-sama… am I right?"
And from the dark the white clad samurai walked into the room… all you could her was the silent shifting of pain full laughter. Kambei ignored it and sat down next to Shichiroji who couldn't help but ask.
"k-kambei-sama… what happened to your face?"
the older samurai sigh at the memory. "apparently I got a little too close for comfort, so… lady Kirara slapped me. Any other questions?" the whole group was silent, until Gorobei burst into laughter along with roji.
"YEAH I GOT ONE! HOW CLOSE DID YOU GET FOR HER TO WHACK YOU OLD MAN? HAHAHAHA!"
"HE HAS A POINT KAMBEI SAMA!" Shichiroji followed Gorobei's lead… after all it wasn't everyday when you get to see your old commander blush.
"just bring me some sake." was Kambei's answer to their question. And then the whole room was laughing at the red mark across the said mans face.
Back at Kirara's home. The said women lend against the door, the one she ended up though Kambei out after the slapped him for getting to close to her. Never before did anyone dare to get that close to her, and on top of which he did not leave like she asked him to.
"BAKA why did you come back?!" she cursed them all for even coming back to this place. "why did you come back?"
Then for the first time in years, Kirara feel to her knees. He told her not to wait for him, he told her that his heart was dried up… but he came back! And she wasn't waiting! What she saw in his eyes was not emptiness, there was life in those once empty eyes. A life she always wanted to see… but why now? Why? Now of all times, she had no desire of falling in love again, at less not during these times. Kirara truly wanted more from that man then any that came her way. Far more than anyone in the world, she wanted him and only him… then why did she kick him out? Why did she slap him for being so close? Isn't that what she had always wanted? To have him come so close, to hold her, to kiss her lips and make her his?
But those were questions she didn't want to answer.
Her eyes were growing heavy, just as her body did, she wasn't even at her bed… kicking Kambei out took most of her strength, the pain in her hand from slapping him faded, but it was still red from the heat of contact. Instead of wasting more energy, Kirara rested against the door frame, closed her eyes and drifted into sleep…
Sorry Kambei-sama I just had to do that xD a good slap in the face never REALLY hurts anybody. As for my reads I thank you if you fallow this story… hope you like it, as I said before im not much of a writer… in fact I wanted to do this story as a doujinshi (comic) my sister (the one who talked me into writing is) is NOW only asking me WHY I didn't do that… smart ass… *cough cough*… well what I told her was that I didn't have that kind of time seeing as im trying to finish 3 other doujins! Yeah 2 bleach and one samurai 7, guess I can try to make side stories for this one?
