((A/N: A week after the tub formation – it's the 2nd week of the month.))
The American and Japanese couple decided they all go for a walk on another beautiful Hawaiian day.
"What do you like the most, Jessica?" Sanosuke asked.
"I love everything! The most I really enjoy is seeing the brilliant blue ocean. It's so calming." She waved her hand towards the ocean.
They window-shopped; looking at different things that Hawaii has to offer. The four decided they would split for awhile for some down time for themselves. Sano and Kenshin were impressed when they saw a store that carried mostly anime items and they couldn't believe the majority of them are in Japanese language.
"Look, Sano! There's an official such and such VOLKS doll for sale and it's at one seventy-five in the American currency. I remember seeing that very same doll cost three hundred dollars on some sort of an auction type website."
Sanosuke whistled. "Steep. I understand it's very rare to find that doll, correct?"
"Yep."
They shook their heads in amazement. They walked out of the store and continue window-shopping.
"Oi, Ken? I'm going to look inside that store okay? I'll see you in awhile." He gives him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Alright. Have fun!" he kissed back.
Kenshin strolled along the sidewalk checking one shop after another.
What a day this is! I'm really enjoying myself but I can't help but feel so guilty about Jessica. I wish I could help her!
It was as if Kami-Sama seemed to be listening to Kenshin that day. It answered to his prayers. In front of him there is store that has a sign saying that they will cut hair for any persons interested in donating hair for Locks of Love. Kenshin went inside.
"Excuse me? I have a question."
"Hello, young lady." A pleasantly dressed stout woman greeted him.
"Ah, er…I'm not a young lady, ma'am, I'm a guy."
"Oh! I'm so sorry, sir! I seriously thought you were a woman."
"It's alright. I get that a lot. Anyway, the reason I'm here is I saw your sign you can donate your hair to the Locks of Love, isn't that correct?"
"Yes, it is, sir."
"I know this is a very, very odd request and I don't know if it can be done." He hesitated waiting for a response from the shorter woman.
"What kind of a request do you have in mind, sir?"
"Ummm…see, I met this woman who's a dear friend of mine and she's dying of cancer. I-I-" the redhead stuttered, not sure how it would come out of his mouth.
"Spill it, young man!" The woman gave him a warm smile. She gently patted his arm to encourage him.
"Well, I-I feel so guilty to have this extremely long hair and I wanted to do something for her. I wanted to know if it's possible to make a wig for her from my own hair?"
"Oh! That is different! Normally we don't do that because it wouldn't be fair to other people who want hair."
Kenshin's face faltered, shoulders slumped. "Oh…"
"But however, seeing that you're so desperate, I guess we can help you out."
"Honto? Really? Thank you so much!" He hugged the woman hard.
The woman laughed, hugging him back.
"Now, young man, are you getting it cut today?"
"Ah, no, no yet. I will have it cut tomorrow. What time do you want me to come in?"
"Is nine a.m. good for you?"
"Hai, that's good. Oh, sorry. It's yes, that's good."
"Hey, don't be sorry, sir. I know a little Japanese." She winked at him.
Kenshin smiled. He gave her a slight bow before leaving the store.
The happy redhead walked down the sidewalk, humming away.
"Oi, Ken! Are you done yet? I'm hungry."
"Hai. Now, that you mentioned it, I'm hungry too. Let's go." He linked his arm around Sano's arm as they strolled before entering into the restaurant.
They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Kennie and Jessica there.
"Oi, Kennie-san, Jessica-san! Do you mind if we join you?" The doctor and the wife looked up from their menus with a surprised look on their faces. They beamed. They waved to motion them to come over.
"Of course! Grab a seat!"
"Arigato."

It's Kenshin's Soul here. You are probably wondering what in the world I'm talking about the official VOLKS doll. It is very true that he is very rare. That particular VOLKS doll is Kenshin. I bought him from someone for $150.00. The person who was sold it paid $175.00. She told she saw this same doll on some sort of an auction type website (I don't which because she never told me) the bidding cost was $300.00. I'm a very proud to have an official Rurouni Kenshin doll. There is a website that you can custom order the doll but it's not as nice as the official one. It's http/www. So in the story I put the words "such and such" because it COULD be any anime doll. I don't know if VOLKS does other anime characters.
It's also true that Hawaii does carry a lot anime stuff. The very same person whom I bought Kenshin got him there. I would love to go to Hawaii to find those items but again, that was back in the late 20th and early 21st century when Kenshin was a big deal back then. I'm so sorry that I missed the hoopla. I'm a late bloomer in real life on almost everything. I didn't get seriously involved into anime until 2003 when Cartoon Network first aired Rurouni Kenshin.
Here's hoping not to have to wait long for the next chapter or I might have to eat my words.
