-Rampaging Sorrow

Mother's day preparations are fun

By: Rampaging Sorrow

"Wake up, son."

"Nooooo."

"I said wake up, boy."

"Nooooo."

With a sigh, Kenshin raised his pillow and launched it across from him, a soft 'umph!' sound being heard as he hit his target without even looking. He smirked as he got up and looked over at a glaring brownish red-head, gold in his eyes as he was angry for loosing his last ten minutes of sleep. Kenshin caught the pillow that came flying at him and after he set it down and started to make up his bed, his son sat indian style and stared straight at him.

"I noticed something."

"And what did you notice, Kenji?" Kenji blinked a few times and then he shivered.

"We look exactly alike. I'm your replica."

Kenshin rolled his eyes and coolly replied, "Duh. You did come from my help. I thought you were a smart eight year old."

"Guess i'm not."

Kenshin gave his son a smile as he pulled his black shirt onto his chest and Kenji immediately did the same after he made up his side of the bed. Kenshin pulled Kenji over to him and as he knelt down, Kenji looked at his father with curious amethyst-sapphire mixed eyes. Kenshin rustled his hair gently before he grew serious.

"We're on a mission this Sunday Morning, boy. Do you know why?"

"Yes sir." Kenji replied and Kenshin stood up tall before he smirked.

"Atten-Hut." he said quick and Kenji quickly stood up straight.

"What is our mission this morning?" he loudly said and Kenji was quick to answer.

"Sir! Our mission is to make mommy the best mother's day she's ever had, sir! So great that she'll remember this until next year, sir!"

"That's right, cadet. And how is it going to be?"

"Kick ass, sir!" Kenshin put his hand over Kenji's mouth and said, 'sssh' before Kenji looked at him with another curious face.

"Don't you know, son?! Your mother knows when we curse in this house. Even though she's at Aunt Megumi's for the weekend, she can still tell. It's... it's her seventh sense."

"What's her sixth?" Kenji asked curiously as Kenshin let go.

"You're too young to know." Kenshin sweetly replied before he stood up and turned back around. The white walls stood out at him and the white sheets on his bed were nicely neat along with the only two purple and blue pillows out of the area. Kenji jumped gently as the cold wood floor sent a shiver down his spine and Kenshin opened the door before he put his head out, Kenji's under him as they looked around. Kenji blew his father's ponytail out of his face and then he looked at his father's ribs as Kenshin raised his shirt up to scratch.

"You have a tattoo?"

"You never saw this one?" Kenji shook his head and Kenshin told him to hold on before he began to call out.

"Kaoru?! Are you home yet?! ... Good, she's not here... Soujiro?! Are you here?!"

"I'm still sleeping!" was the reply he got before Kenshin smirked and shook his head at his wife's brother. Sometimes, he thought he was mentally insane.

"Coast is clear, son. Let's head out. And before I forget, your mother dared me to get this tattoo when I was drunk."

Kenshin stood up straight and then the two got ready before they ran off down the hallway as fast as they could. Kenshin caught the spiral stairs while Kenji slid down the straight banister and they met up before making a sharp right from their entrance hall and moving through the dining hall. Kenji jumped over a chair before his father pushed the door open and they zoomed through the kitchen to charge down the stairs to the basement.

"What's our time?"

"Only thirty seconds." Kenshin panted and the two cheered before Kenshin picked up a few toys and the remote. He moved them to their areas before they walked to the laundry room and saw their baskets on top of the dryer.

"Let's get dressed." Kenshin told his son and Kenji nodded before kicking a rubber duckie away from the blue tiled floor. Kenshin shook his head with a laugh before he put Kenji's basket down for him and let him choose.

"Five minutes to choose. Ready... set... go!"

"I think we did a good thing."

"I orange."

"Put the dark blue on then."

Kenshin watched his son change his shirt in the mirror and then smile as he felt better about his outfit. Both had on baggy jeans, black sneakers and slightly tight tops with necklaces and one bracelet, both gifts from Kaoru when she went on a trip for her dancing.

"We ready to go?"

"Not yet." Kenji said and Kenshin held him up as he brushed his hair in the mirror and tied his ponytail to perfection. Kenshin then set him down and they dusted off before whistling and putting their hands on their hips.

"Sexy." they said with matching smiles and then moved down the hallway.

"Soujiro, we're leaving okay?!"

"Sure! I'll be leaving in half an hour anyways! Have fun you two!"

"Don't blow up my house!" Kenshin joked before he grabbed his car keys and the two Himura's exited the house. Kenshin walked down the pathway with Kenji in tow behind him whistling with his hands in his pockets. They arrived at the black Mercedes and Kenshin unlocked it before turning around to look at his house. The tall blue and white estate smiled back at him and Kenshin took a moment to sigh.

"I love this place."

"Yeah. It's big." Kenji said happily and Kenshin helped him into the back seat before he got in the front and he started the car up. Kenji buckled up like his father did and after Kenshin handed him some shades, he lowered the roof and looked back at his son.

"You ready?"

"Yeah." Kenji replied before they both slid their shades on slowly and snapped their fingers to point at the mirror.

"Too smooth." they said before Kenshin drove out the gates and made a sharp right.

"Get ready!" Kenshin yelled to him and Kenji held his thumbs up before they took off speeding down the street, their voices heard cheering loudly all the way to the end of the block where they made a sharp right and they took off down the street. Kenshin turned on the music and after Kenji pulled his hair behind his ears, the two began to sing loudly until the reached the stop light entering the city. So many houses had went past that Kenji couldn't even keep count like he wanted to. Kenshin slowed to a stop and Kenji looked out the window to see another nice car pull up next to them. The window lowered down and Kenshin looked over to see a car of sexy women. Not one of them were ugly.

'Temptations are fuckin' killer.' he hissed before he saw them smile. He gave a sexy smile of his own before Kenji looked up at his father.

"Hey there, sexy. Where you headed?"

"To grab a few things for mother's day."

"Awww how sweet. Who's it for?" Kenshin grabbed Kaoru's picture and then as they asked if he wanted to hang out, he held it out with a big grin.

"It's for my wife. And I don't think my son appreciates the way you're hitting on his father. Right, Kenji?"

"Right! Leave em' alone! My mother calls girls like you bimbos!" they gasped and even Kenshin did as Kenji glared at them. Kenshin burst out laughing and then he gave a wave as he sighed and drove off. He heard Kenji growl gently before he reached behind him and grabbed the boy's knee gently.

"It's alright. I thought that was hilarious."

"What do we need?"

"A lot of things."

"... you're no help, Kenji."

Kenshin pushed a cart through the A&P Supermarket and as he held out a list, he began to put things in. Kenji made a face for all of them as they moved through the isles and soon wandered off as Kenshin stood in front of two different types of flour.

"Should I get store brand or top notch? I want to be top notch, but i'm saving two dollars... Hmmm... Top notch, or two dollars..."

Kenji quickly snuck down to the fruits isle and as he saw a little boy leaning over to steal some grapes, he called out.

"Hey! You have to buy those!"

"Says who, loser?!"

"Says the store you stealer! You're gonna go to jail you idiot!"

The boy threw grapes at Kenji and Kenji gasped as one bust on his shirt. He got angry and as he picked up an apple, he launched it back at the boy and the fight began. People began to gasp and call out for service as the two boys hit each other with blueberries, threw strawberries and tried to launch watermelons. Kenji finally found the water hose and as Kenshin whistled happily and rounded the corner, he gasped in shock and horror at Kenji hosing the kid down as he cried to stop and that he wouldn't steal.

'I just finished buying everything and now look!'

"Kenji what the hell are you doing?!" Kenji didn't hear him and as he continued, the boy's father walked up and looked in surprise.

"Emoji! What the hell is this?!"

Both parents grabbed their children and Kenji continued to spray him. Kenshin made him drop the hose before he held him up and he looked at him.

"Are you mad?! What are you thinking?!" "He was stealing grapes!"

"Your son is a menace to society!" Kenshin stopped shaking Kenji to look at the other man with an arched eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me! Your son attacked my son for no reason whatsoever! Is this how we teach our kids to play these days?! To attack each other and hose each other down like we're in some freakin' riot!"

"He was stealing fruits!" Kenji yelled before Kenshin set him down and told him to be quiet.

"Sir, I don't think you should stand here and talk to me about my son that way. If you want to discuss the matter, show some respect."

"Respect my ass. My son is shivering right here and something needs to be done!" the man barked and Kenshin looked down at the boy holding himself with chattering teeth as he glared at Kenji. Kenji shook the fruit from his hair and then Kenshin raised the hose up and looked at it.

"I'll ask you again to show respect." "Not to a man who can't fuckin' raise his kids right."

Kenshin pressed the button and people gasped as he hosed the man down and he watched him slip on the floor and fall flat on his butt. Kenshin moved closer to him with slow steps and after he continued his assault, he turned around and sprayed Kenji as well. Never had the boy felt so betrayed.

"What was that for?! You're supposed to be on my side!"

"You weren't getting in my car with all that food on you." Kenshin replied before he took his hand and led him from the scene.

"I'll get you for this, you sonovabitch!"

"You're a sonovabitch!" Kenji barked back and Kenshin slapped his hand over his mouth in shock as he led him to the car as fast as he could. they put everything in the trunk before Kenshin dried the boy off and made him strip to his boxers in the middle of the parking lot.

"Get in." he ordered and once Kenji got in the back, Kenshin sped off. "Never have I had to deal with such mess in your ten years of living. What were you thinking?"

"that he should be punished." Kenji proudly replied before Kenshin looked at him in the mirror. He suddenly smiled and began to laugh.

"You hosed that little brat down, Kenji. I thought I was going to die if I didn't laugh earlier."

Kenji smiled gently and as they arrived back at the house, Kenshin saw Soujiro exiting through the front door and he stopped to look at Kenji carrying groceries in his boxers, he looked up at Kenshin. Kenshin was going to speak, but Soujiro put a hand up and shook his head, black hair moving back and forth from his eyes before he looked at Kenshin with light blue eyes similar to his sister's.

"I don't even want to know."

One thirty pm.

The Mall

"Ooo, i want that one! And that one over there! Wow, look at that shirt!"

"Kenji--"

"That's such a nice toy car! And look at those shoes!"

"KENJI--"

"Daddy, let's get mommy a toy!"

"KENJI! BE QUIET AND LET ME THINK!"

Kenji gasped as Kenshin yelled and the two saw people looking at them as Kenji began to tear up for show. He knew it would make his father feel guilty so as he let two tears slip out, Kenshin's heart tugged a little in guilt just like the boy knew it would.

"What a father. Yelling at his kid like that."

"They're getting younger and younger."

Kenshin glared at the two old women yelling at him and he knelt down in the middle of the mall to grab his son's shoulders gently and pick him up.

"I didn't mean to yell, Kenji. I just had to think for a second, okay? I'm sorry." Kenji sniffed and nodded before Kenshin set him down and held his hand. The two began to walk through the mall and after they reached Kay's, Kenshin smiled and pulled his son inside.

"I have a plan." he smirked before Kenji looked at all the expensive pieces of jewelery around him. He stood in awe at the soft glittering behind the glass and then he looked up to jump behind his father's leg in slight shock.

"Hey there, little boy. What's wrong?"

"I don't know you." he replied as honestly as he could and the lady simply laughed as Kenshin sighed and shook his head.

"He's very handsome. Who's eyes does he have?"

"My wife's." Kenshin admitted gently before Kenji gave the lady a small glare. She winked at him gently before Kenshin asked for some time to choose. Once she left him, he knelt down and held Kenji to look at everything.

"And they come with a teddy bear too. Which one should we get her?"

"Mommy likes hearts." Kenji said and Kenshin looked to where his son pointed before he grew a smile.

"Perfect choice. Mommy would love that."

"I'm still in shock. Tiffany's?"

"Uh huh! Mommy will like this!"

"... Have you been buying things off the internet with your mother again?"

"...maybe."

Kenshin sighed as his son smiled and they walked back towards the exit of the mall. Kenshin smiled and as they hit the outside, he held his son's hand and they crossed the street.

"So far, this has been a good day, don't you think?"

"Yeah." Kenji giggled. "Nothing bad happened yet. It's 'cause mommy's gone."

"You might be right." Kenshin replied before he stopped in his footsteps to drop his bags of clothes so he could gasp and scream out.

"MY MERCEDES-BENZ! OH MY FUCKING GOD!"

Kenji watched his father slap his hands on his face and cover his X shaped scar as he moved slowly to the car with shock and anger in his eyes. The car was HIT and as Kenshin dropped his head with a cry, Kenji pouted and asked his father what happened.

"Some idiot hit our car, Kenji. Jesus Christ, he rammed straight into me like it was hot sex."

"What's sex?" Kenji asked and Kenshin's eyes widened as he cursed himself for not realizing his son was there. He turned to Kenji before he put his hands together and thought.

"Well... it's when you... it's how... when two people..." Kenshin slapped his hand on his forehead and as he dragged it down his face, Kenji arched his eyebrow and stood calmly. Kenshin spun around to get his thoughts together before turning back to face his son in the dark parking lot.

"It's a dance."

"A dance?"

"Yes. It's a very hard type of dance. It involves a lot of hard movements that you might not understand, but once you learn this dance, you'll be one of the happiest men alive afterwards."

"Does mommy know this dance?" he asked as Kenshin pulled out his cell phone.

"She's a master." he replied before letting out a sigh. The other end finally answered and then Kenshin bit his tongue as he heard a deep voice speaking.

"What happened this time, Baka-denshi."

"Somebody hit my car while I was in the mall, Hiko."

"What'd you do, park it in the fucking lane?"

"No, I didn't do that." Kenshin barked into the phone. "Can somebody please just come get me?"

"... Nah. I'll let you suffer." he gasped as his step-father hung up the phone and kicked the floor with a 'fuck!'

"Oooo, you said the f-word. mommy's going to be angry. Her seventh sense, daddy."

"I'm sorry." Kenshin said with a sigh before he moved to Kenji and he picked him up. Kenji looked at the car and as he hugged his father gently around his neck, he looked him in his eyes.

"Are we stranded, daddy?"

"Not yet, Kenji. I'll get somebody to tow the truck and have Soujiro come pick us up, okay? Don't worry." Kenshin kissed his forehead gently before he set him down and he began to dial numbers. Kenji looked at the back of the car and as it was smashed in a great deal, he frowned as he saw the sides were crushed as well. A liscense plate fell and as Kenshin looked over at it, he noticed that it wasn't his.

"That's not mine." he said and he picked it up before looking across the lot to see an SUV with a slightly smashed front.

"Son of a bitch." Kenshin growled and told Kenji to stay put as he saw the person walking to his vehicle. He quickly grabbed him and pushed him up against his vehicle.

"What's the deal with you RAMMING INTO MY FUCKING CAR?!"

"W-what are you talking about?! I didn't hit you!"

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Kenshin raged and Kenji watched his father's eyes turn a heated molten gold as he held him tighter on the car and he showed him his liscense plate.

"My brother must have hit you! I gave him my keys to park the car! I'm so sorry!"

"You're sorry? That's all you can say is you're sorry?! My son has no way of getting home now and today is mother's day! He wants to make her something nice and now we won't get home in time to do so!"

"I'm really sorry! My insurance will cover everything!"

"It better." Kenshin replied and as he watched the man call numbers up, he moved back over to Kenji and knelt down once more.

"Don't tell your mother about that."

"Promise." Kenji smiled gently before Kenshin rustled his hair and sat on the floor with Kenji dozing off in his lap. All the excitement made him want to sleep for a little bit.

"Call her!"

"I am."

"Do it now!"

"Kenji, boy--"

"CALL HER!"

"ALRIGHT!"

Kenji bounced by the mall entrance and as Kenshin opened his cellphone and put it on speaker, he pushed the first speed-dial and waited for his wife to answer. Once she did, Kenji gasped as he heard a sweet soft voice on the other end.

"I take it that my house hasn't burned down yet, love?"

"No, dearest. It's in good shape." "HI MOMMY!"

"Hey, Kenji! I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too mommy! When do you get home?"

"Around six, baby." Kenshin smiled gently as Kenji spoke to his mother, but as he looked down at his watch, he paled instantly as he saw what time it was.

Two forty-five.

"Umm... Ummm, Kaoru, we have to go now, so bye! Don't be in a rush for us! Take your time getting here!"

And with that, Kenshin hung up the phone and saw the rental cars finally pull up. They grabbed their things and after Kenshin got the keys and buckled Kenji in, he was like a maniac speeding onto the main road.

"What's wrong?"

"Your mother said she'd be home at six. It's almost three o' clock!" Kenji gasped.

"We won't have time to make things special!" Kenshin called Soujiro and after he answered, he spoke as fast as he could.

"Bring home some flowers and two mother's day cards. one for Kenji and for me. Do it now or you're living on the grass for two more nights."

And with that he hung up and pressed the gas even faster. Kenji whimpered.

"Relax, Kenji. Even though this is a Honda Civic your father's a master at driving—OH MY GOD!"

Kenji let out a scream as he saw a car coming straight for them and Kenshin turned out the way as the wild driver continued to switch lanes until he crashed. Kenji let out another scream as Kenshin fought to get control and once the car spun around a forth time, he got it to be still and got out the car to go check on Kenji. He was shaken up and as Kenshin made sure he didn't get hurt, he held him gently and calmed him down.

"You're alright. Sssh. Sssh." he looked at the accident and as he saw somebody calling for help, he made sure Kenji was safe before driving off. He felt guilty doing it, but at the time he wanted Kenji away from the scene as much as possible.

"Is the man okay?" Kenji asked quietly and as Kenshin gripped the wheel in thought, he answered the best way he could.

"I don't know, Kenji. I think he might have died." this made him cry.

At the house, Kenji was still kinda quiet about the whole ordeal and as Kenshin wanted him to smile, he noticed that Soujiro left everything Kenshin said to on the kitchen table. He put it in the dining room and he checked his time.

Three ten

"Damn! This is not good!"

"What?"

"We need to start cooking now." Kenshin replied before he started to take things out and move them aside. Kenji helped the best way he could and once they started cooking, Kenji made a face of disgust as Kenshin pulled out a ham and began to season it and get it ready for the oven.

"Start with the dessert, Kenji!" Kenshin said frantically and as he quickly started to make the rice and everything else, Kenji nodded and he read the recipe his father left on the table.

"Extremely Chocolately Chocolate Cake." Kenji said to himself and after he started to mix things together, Kenshin sighed and put the rice aside on a simmer. He put a pie of macaroni in the oven and after he looked over at Kenji, he let out a scream.

"Kenji! You take the eggshells out, my boy! You don't just drop the whole egg in!"

"But it said three eggs!"

"The stuff inside it! Not the whole thing!" Kenji looked down sadly and as Kenshin dumped it in the garbage and threw it outside in the bin, he started it again. Kenshin watched him crack the eggs as gently as he could and once he got it, a smile came up on his face.

"Like this?!"

"Like that." Kenshin said and suddenly he cried out as he ran over to the oven.

"I need to glisten it!" Kenji watched his father tie his hair up and once he did so, he brought the ham out and began to paste it with a glaze. Kenji smirked and as he got the blender, he turned it up on high without thinking about it.

"Kenji, what sounds so loud—Boy! No!"

WWWWWWWHHHHHHIIIIIIIRRRRRRR!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!


30 minutes later...

"I'm sorry."

"glare."

"I didn't know daddy! I swear!"

"sigh What possessed you to shove the damn thing on high?"

"I thought it would make it easier..."

Kenji dropped his head, chocolate mix hanging off of one of his bangs, and Kenshin could only sigh and give him a soft pat on the head.

"At least we made it over, right? Now it looks nice in the oven."

"Daddy?"

"Yes, son?" he sniffs.

"I think your macaroni is burning." Kenshin sniffs and his eyes grow wide as he screams out 'no!' and jumps to the oven. He grabbed it as fast as he could and then he groaned as his son's nose was right. The top was slightly burned. He set it down and as he ran his fingers through his hair, he licked the chocolate mix off of his hands from it and then he turned on the CD player on the floor. Instantly, rock music filled the room and Kenji lightened up from his dim mood.

"What time is it daddy?"

"Five fifteen—damn!" Just as Kenshin was going to panic, his phone rang and he answered it quickly.

"Hello?"

"Anata." Kaoru said sweetly.

"Nani desu ka?"

"There's traffic so I won't be home till about seven. That okay with you?"

"Yeah, that's fine! Just take your time!" Kenshin gave a huge smile to Kenji and a thumbs up before he hung up and the two began to cheer.

"We got an extra hour! We got an extra hour!" they started to dance and as they put up rock signs and moved around the island in the kitchen, Soujiro entered the kitchen and widened his eyes.

"We got an extra hour and this is very good!" Kenji yelled to him and Kenshin stopped once he saw Soujiro staring in shock.

"Brother--"

Once again, Soujiro put his hand up and shook his head.

"I don't even want to know."

"But I can explain--"

"I don't wanna know... I'm telling Kaoru."

Seven o' clock

Himura Residency

"Mommy's not here yet."

"Don't worry. Soujiro's going to stall her and when he starts to ask about the spa, we'll go down."

Kenshin looked in the mirror and as he slipped on a nice Ralph Lauren shirt, Kenji frowned at his shirt and tie.

"I hate this--"

"You're going to shut your mouth and like it." Kenshin growled at him and Kenji glared back and kicked him in the shin. Kenshin growled again as Kenji ran to the bed and sat down with a 'hmph.'

"You're really itchin' for me to give you a spanking, aren't you?"

"If you touch me, i'll call the police for abuse."

"Call em'! That's one less mouth to feed." Kenji gasped at his father's evil grin and then he threw a pillow at him.

"You're so mean!" "You started it!" they both growl.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, KAORU!" the two gasped and then Kenshin quickly rushed over to Kenji. Kenji looked at Kenshin with wide eyes.

"She's here. No more fighting. Tomorrow, we'll go all out like cats and dogs. Deal?"

"Deal." Kenji said and they shook hands before they finished getting ready.

"Soujiro, you cooked? It smells lovely."

"You know damn well I can't cook for shit. Don't sit here and make me feel bad."

Soujiro glared at his older sister and as she laughed and he put up her coat and moved her things to rest on the stairs. She gave him a silly smile before Soujiro put his arms around her and the two spun and hug with screams. Once he let go, he looked her up and down and smiled.

"You look amazing right now."

"Thanks. Megumi made me buy something and get dressed before they dropped me off."

"I'm glad she did."

Kaoru smiled at him and as she spun around, Soujiro whistled and made a hissing sound. Her usual ponytail was now down and her hair was nice and cascading down her back. Her bangs were brushed neatly sideways and as she did a pose, her light blue eyes similar to his screamed pride and excitement. Her dark blue dress was up to her knees and her low heels finished off the outfit with her jewelery.

"You have something on your neck?"

"Yeah, this necklace."

"Take it off. Your neck is beautiful without it."

Kaoru arched her eyebrow and then she said, "okay..." with a soft laugh as Soujiro put it down gently with the rest of her things.

"So how was the spa that Megumi took you to?"

"Incredible! I swear, every man there was sexy! And the massages they gave— mmmmm so fuckin' incredible."

"Cover your ears, Kenji. Mommy's said a bad word."

"Mommy!"

Kaoru turned around and as she gasped with a smile, she knelt down and watched her son run towards her. She had to giggle at the red shirt and pink tie he was wearing and after he went into her arms, she swooped him up and held him close to her.

"Look at my little knight in shining armor! You look so handsome! Did daddy be nice to you?"

"Uh huh! We had a long day today!"

"I bet you did! The food smells good!"

"I helped!" Kenji proudly said and Kaoru kissed his cheek and spun around with him as he laughed. She then set him down and then she looked at Kenshin as he approached her with a smile. Kaoru whistled gently as she eyed him up and down and Kenshin's smile grew more sexier as she slid her hand gently on his dark blue shirt. Soujiro moved Kenji to the dining room table so they could have some privacy.

"You miss me?" she asked cutely.

"Oh so much." he replied before leaning down and kissing her as their fingers enlaced. Kaoru pulled away and she gave a soft smile as Kenshin led her to the dinner table.

"Wow." she breathed out and as Kenji smiled at her with Kenshin, Soujiro sat her down and she put her hands in her lap.

"Happy Mother's Day!" they all said happily and Kenshin soon began to serve her as she told them it was wonderful.

"Only something wonderful for a woman who is wonderful." Kenshin replied back and gave her another small kiss before he set a plate down in front of her. He did Kenji's as well before they all were ready and they started to eat.

"This is awesome." she said as she pointed to the macaroni and Kenji nodded with Soujiro before Kenshin sighed.

"The top got a little burnt due to some... complications, but i'm glad you like it."

"A little burnt? Hell, you can keep doing it if it'll taste this good." they shared a laugh and as Kaoru began to tell about her weekend at the spa. Once dinner was done and everything was cleared, Soujiro dimmed the lights.

"What's going on?" she asked with a soft smile and her brow arched. Soujiro only smiled and as he went into the kitchen, Kenshin was first to come out, music flowing softly behind him. Kaoru's smile got wider with her surprise.

"Today is a special day, my dear
Today's the only day in the year
that we get to show how much we appreciate you
and that we can buy fancy gifts that'll surely please you." Kaoru let out a soft laugh as Kenji came in with a pillow holding a box on it.

"Today is the day that you can kick back
Today is the day where we pick up the slack
You can relax and do whatever you please
while we're at your call on our knees." she gasped in surprise at the cake that Soujiro brought out next and once he set it on the table with plates, spoons, and ice cream, she looked up at Kenshin with a beautiful smile. He returned it and continued to sing.

I think that today is what they call Mother's Day. Am I right, Kenji?"

"Yeah."

"Today's the day you put your worries away
We're here to show you that you're the greatest girl...
and that you're the best mom in the world."

"HAPPY MOTHERS DAY." the three said and Soujiro pressed a button on his remote away from Kaoru's sight to turn the radio off.

"Wow... I don't even know what to say. This is incredible..." she ran her fingers through her hair and after Soujiro said he would go first, he presented her with his gift. She gasped.

"Oh wow! I can't believe i'm seeing this again! How'd you know I wanted this?!"

"A little birdie named Misao leaked it to her best friend. Which is me, of course." Kaoru gave him a soft push and then she just looked at the jewelery box in awe.

"I had one when i was a little girl, but it burned with the house when I was like nine. I didn't think they even had anymore... it's so wonderful. Thank you, Soujiro."

"Open it up, sis." Kaoru opened it and as a soft sweet melody rose to her ears, she had to smile at the bracelet that sat inside. It was a star with blue jewels inside and as she held it up, Kenshin whistled.

"Nice." he said and the two shook hands before Soujiro put it on for her and kissed her cheek. The two hugged and she thanked him again before Kenji moved up to go.

"I made this cake for you." he said proudly and Kenshin cut a piece of it and let Kaoru taste. Once she put a fork full in her mouth, her eyes lit up and she swallowed.

"Kenji, this tastes better than your father's!" Kenshin gave her a 'meanie' pout and Kenji smiled brightly as she let him taste his own work.

"It is good!"

"You make mommy so proud. This is really really great! The chocolate it's just sooo good." she smiled down at him and then she kissed his cheek.

"You're going to make this for mommy more often."

"Okay!" he beamed at her and then he remembered his box and took it from the pillow.

"I picked this out just for you." he said proudly and as she took the long box, she looked down at him curiously.

"You went jewelery shopping? Be honest and tell me if your father picked it out."

"Nuh uh! I did!"

"I was surprised too." Kenshin said with a laugh before Kaoru opened the box and gasped sharply.

"How'd you know mommy wanted this?" she asked with a high whisper of awe.

"I paid attention." Kenji said with a smile before he put the necklace around her neck. She pulled him into a hug and after he giggled and laughed from her kisses, she let him down and he moved his box.

"And now for my gift. Kenji helped me choose this one too."

"Kenji has an eye for good shit." Soujiro said teasingly and the adults laughed as Kenji gave a silly smile. Kaoru 'aww'ed at the cute teddy bear holding the box and once she opened it, another sharp gasp escaped her lips.

"This is beautiful." she said and as Kenshin took it out from the box, Soujiro said, 'damn' as he saw the glisten. The heart was a sight to see as it had diamonds and sapphires decorating it and on the back was a small words in the gold.

Love your husband,
Kenshin

"Kenji's has something on the back too." Kenshin quickly told her and she smiled as Kenji said.

"It says love your son, Kenji." Kenshin put the necklace on her neck and she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"This is so beautiful. You boys are amazing." she then sighed and as they helped themselves to cake and kissed her cheek, she stood up and smiled.

"I have a Mother's Day surprise of my own, guys."

"How? You're the mother." Kenji said curiously and the adults laughed again at his cuteness. Kaoru rustled his hair before she gave them a smile.

"I went to the doctor's this weekend and... i'm pregnant!"

"What?!" Soujiro said in surprise. Kenshin was in so much shock he collapsed in his chair. Kenji was more than excited.

"I GET A BABY SISTER! I GET A BABY SISTER!"

"How do you know it's a girl?" Soujiro asked curiously.

"Just a hunch." Kenji replied before Kaoru went over to Kenshin and saw him fanning himself with a groan.

"Love you." Kaoru said after she pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. Kenshin could only moan and as she laughed, she went and sat back down.

"Happy Mother's Day." he groaned as Soujiro danced Kaoru around. Suddenly, Kenji remembered something and he tugged his mother's dress.

"Mommy, will you teach me how to sex?"

"What'd you just say?!" she asked in shock and Kenji asked again. She turned to glare at Kenshin and Kenshin could only give a weak smile.

"What did I do?"

"You are dead when we go to our rooms. Teach me how to sex. I can't believe you told him about that."

"And daddy said that your sixth sense is something I can't know until i'm older."

"gasp you told him about that?!" she whispered harshly at Kenshin and he could only sigh and put his face in his hands.

"The Himura family never ceases to amaze me." Soujiro said with a sigh and as Kenshin was going to explain, both the Kamiya children put their hands up as they shook their heads.

"I don't wanna know."
