It was funny, I actually forgot about everyone for a while since they all departed to Kyoto; no wait, forgetting is such a harsh word…Perhaps I could just say I blocked them from my thoughts for a while instead? Injured men and women have been less these days, which brings a smile to my face. But it doesn't mean that no one ever comes over for a usual check up, it's just that none is that injured to a point where it might be a big problem.

I've been getting usual mail from an unusual female who says that she's a companion of Kenshin and the others, her name is Misao but she seems quite…Energetic from the way she writes. Though she just mentions the happenings of the days not about anyone specific much to my dismay.

Some news that I receive from her is troublesome, while some make me need to read them twice for they tug a smile on my lips though either way I always look for the day when I find the envelope addressing me. They are like surprise bags you could say, they either have that special sweets that you have been thinking of the other night or you receive a dumb, plastic toy you could dump to a child you know and end up with only wasting your money.

The idea is slightly amusing on how everyone has been gone for so long and I have only thought about them only when I have my thoughts all captured like this. I'm expecting Ken-San to be alright, but I worry about Yahiko-San as he is after all too young to have gone to such a dangerous place. Sometimes I worry about the reason if I've gone with them maybe I could fix any scratches and fewer problems would occur.

The two munchkins usually come over when the old man wishes for some herbs for a patient of his own, they usually stay over for a while admiring the instruments and chattering to visitors and helping out before getting down to business. They ask many questions but especially where rooster head went off to not leaving me a chance to explain. Unusual as it is they only ask of him as if they expect him to be here, now why is that?

Weirdly right after they talk about Sanosuke they get in deeper asking who I like and if I've ever been married, luckily just in time their grandfather saves me from answering as I blink with utter confusion and shock of the questions they toss. How unusual it is the pattern they follow upon the questions…

But the day I got the news the conversation got much more to a conclusion that these two female children are much more devious then their innocent appearance.

"Megumi-Oneesan your hair is so soft!" Ayame cried playing with my locks trying to tie it into a pink band but failing miserably as I helped her out leading her to smile.

"Megumi-Oneesan can we help you?" Suzume asked innocently leading me to wonder perhaps maybe today they wouldn't trouble me so with the humiliating questions, which was a false alarm of course.

The female who watched the children as I treated her smiled softly complementing their behavior before departing, I should have asked her to stay longer because when the close was clear; the children soon pounced the horrid questions on me.

"Megumi-Oneesan where is rooster head?" The two asked in unison as I backed away praying they wouldn't force a question on me, their action of grasping onto both my legs was a sign that they were planning on pulling an answer from me and stopping me from escaping.

"Oh he's away, he's gone to Kyoto" I stated for the hundredth time as I raised an eyebrow when the two girls whispered someone I could easily hear.

"She's hiding him somewhere….He should be here!" Ayame whispered to her sister who nodded back and looked at me with glistering eyes.

"Are you sure Megumi-Oneesan? We really miss him!" Suzume cried helplessly hugging my leg tighter as that question and previous whispering led me to answer the most regretted thing.

"Now why would you think he's here?" I asked placing my hands on my hips my crimson lips bitten on to when I thought about what I said.

An awkward silence followed as I stood there balancing the two children each hugging a leg as I prayed they would just shrug their shoulders, my prayer was not answered.

"Because San-ii and you are always together, that's why!" Ayame deviously answered leading me to twitch an eye; it was obvious what she meant.

Then followed the much more private questions, they were much worse then the ones they asked the other days all because I asked them that dumb question.

"Hey Megumi-Oneesan; do you like San-ii?" Suzume asked blushing slightly with a smile before her sister threw another question on me not allowing me to reply.

"Hey Megumi-Oneesan; will you marry San-ii one day?" Ayame asked leading her sibling to know another question to ask leaving me speechless, these two were good!

"Hey Megumi-Oneesan; can we be your flower girls in your wedding?" Suzume asked before looking at her sister who raised her hands wanting to say something. I was already dying from the questions so I guessed I might as well allow her, there was nothing worse to say; I was mistaken.

"Hey Megumi-Oneesan; will you and San-ii have a girl or boy?" Ayame asked happily cupping her cheeks with her hand as if imagining a family consisting….That was the last straw.

"Oh look at the time! Guess I'd better take you two home…Come on now we shouldn't waste time!" I cried frustrated by the last question, did they really ask such a thing???

I was able to push them out of my apartment and back to the dojo and run away before they captured me and humiliated me more. Returning back to my apartment I cupped my face into my hand slightly blushing, such questions….

That was when I noticed the expect mail from the female I have never met but written to…But I was mistaken, it was this time from Kaoru-Chan, and this must be serious as I worried.

They had completed, everything was alright. But Ken-San was injured along with others who needed aid. My fingers let go of the sheet of paper allowing a few hear beats to skip before I raced to pack the essentials and race to Kyoto before it was too late.

Upon arriving to Kyoto, I didn't dwell upon resting and quickly left matters on everything on hold to aid Ken-San. He was in a mess leading me to regret staying behind, I worked long hours…A tear of joy trickled down my cheek when I was done and he was left to rest.

When I arrived to Kyoto a long time ago my thoughts were still on megitsune, how was she? Did she take me leaving without saying a goodbye harshly? These thoughts usually occupied my mind thought my whole time I was in such a place. When I went through the fight, I was thrown against the wall before falling to a deep slumber; I could have sworn I heard her before awakening.

Weirdly when we returned back to the weasel girls place, I found her there with such a place appearance which made me easily read the flush of her cheeks when she noticed me; she didn't talk to me as if she was hiding something….

When it was my turn to finally get examined I eventually heard her voice and spoke to her;

"Here it is again! I swear you'll lose your hand this way if you go on breaking it…It's in such a mess!" She taunting slapping the back of my head as a punishment for being careless of breaking my hand once more.

"Megitsune, why is it that you're talking to me only now?" I finally asked looking up at her as she avoided my sight and allowed a sigh to escape her before smiling. Completely the bandage wrap around my hand with a knot; she spoke.

"As a fair warning, I say stay cautious of the girls when you're left alone with them" she stated leaving me wonder what she meant before she got up and walked away to see if her help could be found anything else….
