Warning: This is a yaoi fic; therefore, there is a male/male relationship. If you are under the age of 18 then you shouldn't read it (If you do, I won't tell…). If you think yaoi is hentai and gross then too bad, so sad, do not read it.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters form Rurouni Kenshin or any of the dialogue or storylines and things like that. Wish I did *le sigh* but I don't *le bigger sigh*. *HUGE sigh* T.T
Author's Note: ¡Muchos gracias! You all are amazing for waiting this long. I know I couldn't do it. Here is the third part.

Last time we were here…
"I'm your papa, dad, daddy, pop. In other words, the man who got your mother pregnant so she could have you."
Present… Past… Whatever. This is what happens after they find out about daddy dearest.
"You're who?!" shouted the three shocked young people, effectively deafening the mysterious samurai.
"I am Kenshin's father."
"Oro!" And that was the last anyone heard from the ex assassin for the night. He fainted, due to an impromptu concussion brought on partly from the shock of finding his father and partly from Megumi falling out of a tree and landing on his head.
Kaoru and Sanosuke were of course unaware of Megumi and Kenshin's predicament as they were gaping at the still-in-the-dark, recently revealed, father of the ex-assassin who both had previously proclaimed was the love of their lives. (A/N: That is a lot to say. Try saying it in one breath.)
Tanaka-san had noticed poor his poor son (supposedly) and scary fox Megumi's situation and decided that he was the only one sane and awake enough able to take charge of the situation, so he got Kaoru and Sanosuke to work.
"Hey, you girl, pick up my son and you, boy, pick up the female… Well, come on, let's go. It's getting cold and dark out here."
The two young people seemed to snap out their stupor and do as they were told. Sadly, snapping them out their stupor also brought out yet another round of arguing.
"Why does she get to carry him?" Sanosuke demanded scowling. Kaoru simply stuck out her tongue.
"She's carrying him because she's weaker than you are therefore making her carry that other young woman would cause her pain and have us waiting for her as she dragged the tall woman to the dojo."
"Oh. Okay," Sanosuke said to Tanaka-san. He turned to Kaoru and whispered in a deadly low voice, "If you dare cop a feel, I will fix my zanbatou and find a way to make it fit up your…"
"Hey! Stop threatening her and get a move on," said Tanaka to Sano. He turned to glare at Kaoru and scowled, "Although, what he said does apply, missy. If you so much as peek a little and see even a centimeter, a millimeter more of skin, I will shove my katana so far down your…"
"Hey! Why is everyone threatening me? I'm not a perv like bird-head over here or a vixen like Megumi. Why is it that I, Kamiya Kaoru, Master of the art of Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, am being treated like some sort of lecherous fiend?," whined the so-called master.
"It is because of the fact that anyone in the presence of the glory that is Himura Kenshin immediately becomes a slobbering fool and cannot contain their inner lecher," stated Tanaka-san matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, it's a well known fact Jou-chan. We don't only hang around because of his sparkling personality and kindness. And we certainly don't hang around for your cooking."
"Huh? Oh, both of you are so mean. If I weren't carrying Kenshin…" Kaoru threatened.
Both males turned to look at her with evil glints in their eyes. "Go ahead and finish that statement. I dare you. I double you," whispered both men.
Kaoru shuddered and hurried along.
Later -
The 2 women and three men arrived at the dojo with no further incident. All simply sat quietly, waiting for the former assassin to awake.
Kenshin woke up a few minutes after Kaoru left to get tea for them all. Megumi was pretending to still be out of it as she lay near Kaoru's spot. A/C: Hentai fox!!
"So Tanaka-san, you say that you are my father, but there is no way to prove that as you have not taken off your hat nor lowered your mask," said Kenshin.
"Oh, is that all. Well, that's no problem at all," Tanaka said as he pulled of his hat and mask.
When Kaoru entered the dojo not a minute after Tanaka's face was revealed, she found Kenshin gripping his chest sitting next to a gaping Sano and Kenshin sitting calmly by the door.
Later -
"Kaoru-dono, please wake up. This one would like it very much if you woke up."
"Kenshin? I'm sorry I fainted, but for a second there it seemed like there were two of you in the room." Kaoru groaned as she lifted her head from its place in Megumi's lap. A/C: Mmm hmmm, bad Megumi, but good tactics.
"Uh… Kaoru-dono? You did see two of this one, or rather this one and another who looks similar," said the red-headed rurouni.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Kaoru-dono, it seems that Tanaka-san was telling the truth about being this one's father. It was he whom you saw when you entered the room," said the rurouni as he moved out of the young girl's line of vision.
There in front of her were two Kenshin's or there would be if one didn't look a little bit different. Tanaka-san she realized had darker, almost auburn hair, green eyes and lines around his eyes and mouth. Other than those differences, she couldn't tell either apart which meant that no one else would be able to either.
"Hello, Kaoru-dono, I am Tanaka Ichimaru and I am the father of Himura Kenshin," said Tanaka-san in his deep voice.
"Hello, Tanaka-san. I'm so sorry for fainting. It was just so shocking to see you and Kenshin in the same room. You look so much alike."
"Tanaka-san, this one would like to know how you found him, de gozaru, and what it is you desire of this one," asked the rurouni of his father once things were back to normal.
"Well, I was in Osaka on business; I saw a poster that was of a person who looked like me. It looked so much like me that I was arrested in connection. It turns out that that poster was of you, although I don't know why they were saying you were a woman and worked in a restaurant. The people said that you had just left one day. They were very worried because you seemed so delicate. [*Sanosuke, Kaoru, Megumi nod* - "Mm-hmm. He's delicate alright." Kenshin – "Fwah!!"] That let me know that you were indeed alive, my son. I returned home quickly to your mother and found her gone and a ransom note left demanding that I find you."
"Ah, yes, this one remembers them. They were very kind," whispered the rurouni, "Do you know who did this? Do you know who took your wife Tanaka-san?"
"Call me father Kenshin, if you are comfortable with it. Do you know Satsumo Okuro?"
"Yes, she was to be my bride after Tomoe was killed."
A/N: OMG! It's done, although this one is shorter than the others. I'm so sorry. I did post another fic for you all though. It's Aoshi/Kenshin, called Sakura. Forth chapter will be out next year. Ciao.
