The two assassins
Chapter 13: suspicions
Kenshin had returned from his trip a few days ago, things were going perfectly as planned, work couldn't be better they had even made a calendar with dates to take time for themselves, it was a weird idea but Kaoru had insisted and Kenshin had to agree.
The day Kenshin left the city was the last day Kaoru and Soujiro were together, they danced and had fun and at the end a sweet good bye, he had to return to Japan, he had spent too many time at Miami when his business had already ended but he needed to be with her.
Kaoru was starting to wonder about Misao, she had called her like 10 times during the whole morning but she didn't answer, Kenshin's idea was starting to make sense inside her mind, but she really refused to believe her sister was going to commit the same crime twice. She scratched her head impatiently and crossed her legs, she had a coke in front of her, she watched it carefully, a drop of water slid and landed on the wooden desk. It was a hot morning and not even the air conditioner could cool the place, she grabbed the coke and found relief when she was able to quench her thirst with the delicious liquid. She was lost in her imaginary world when the intercom rang. '!great!' she said to herself, now she had to keep working on such a hot day.
"Yes?" Kaoru Asked
"Miss Kamiya, Mrs, Shinomori wants to talk with you" said the secretary
"Okay let her in please" said Kaoru, Were had Misao been? No phone call, no e-mail, she didn't even leave a message with her secretary. The door went open and the small woman entered the office, she was wearing a silk dress above her knees and sandals. It was a hot morning and she was pregnant making the heat unbearable. Kaoru welcomed her in, she sat on a chair and placed an invitation on Kaoru's desk, she glanced at her puzzled what was that? She opened the invitation and found the purpose of it, it was going to Misao's son baptize, a smile crossed her face.
"I'm sorry" said Misao "I know I didn't keep in touch with you, but I had to organize a bunch of things, I really want to make it huge" she wasn't facing Kaoru, she was like Hypnotized, her voice was low and her hands were squeezing her knees in a dead grip.
"Misao is there something wrong" she asked, that was not her usual behavior in her sister, but then she remembered that they had to start from the beginning, they were now like complete strangers.
"I'm okay, It's just that I felt nauseas, but is something natural on my condition" lied Misao, There was something wrong.
"Do you want anything to drink" asked Kaoru
"Oh no thanks, I'm fine" said Misao "The reason I came here is because I wanted you and Kenshin to be Yuki's Godparents"
"Me and Kenny, Godparents?" asked Kaoru amazed, that was a great responsibility and was glad someone had chosen them to be the responsibles of the education of a young boy.
"Yes, Aoshi and I were thinking that you were the perfect ones and now that we're starting a new relationship, it will help us to get closer and forget our differences" Misao said. She was right in some way they needed to establish their lives again and to get closer just like she said.
"We'll be glad to, Specially me" said Kaoru, a sincere smile was playing on her lips, Misao managed to fake one, fortunately Kaoru didn't notice.
"When is it going to be?" Kaoru asked and checked the date at the invitation, but Misao Answered anyway.
"This Saturday 5:00 Pm" said Misao
"that leaves me 5 days to get ready if I start today" said Kaoru "Misao Don't you think It'll be okay if we can see Yuki before the Baptize?" she asked
"I talked with the priest, he doesn't thinks it's a good idea, he said something about the excitement of…" she was thinking hard "… I don't remember" said Misao.
"Oh! Alright" said Kaoru a speck of suspicion was starting to grow inside her mind.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" said Misao "Kaoru I must go, I still have to deliver other invitations" she said. They hugged, Kaoru felt Misao insecure, she exited the room, Kaoru then sat in the loneliness of her office thinking about the previous meeting and the sudden visit of her sister.

"You've been here isolated for three days" said Bill and glanced at her
"No, I took half an hour a few days ago" she said, she did not look at him
"You're gonna die here" he said "for Heaven's sake we're at a hotel, there's plenty of things to do" he grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her, but she only closed her eyes.
"What do you care about me? hu?" Tomoe said "No one gives a damn about me, why you should then?" she shouted. He looked her back, there was no way he could answer that, he was not even sure why he was worried about her, maybe it was because in a weird way she was his friend.
"No way I'm going to do it!" she yelled "Did you listen to me, I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT, I've hurt him to much and I can't imagine a world without him!" he didn't know why but her words hurt him, could he be jealous of Kenshin?
"Do I have any other choice?" he asked bitterly "Fine, don't do it, but the.." he was interrupted by Tomoe.
"I know! do you think I'm not aware of that, all I had fought for will crumble down if I refuse, I am no fool!" she yelled again, she was panicking. "yet the man I love will die and I can't stand it, the orders are clear they accepted" she said.
"You wanted that! I perfectly remember you saying you wanted to kill him yourself, and look at you now, you're crying and panicking, like an old bitch!" he said.
"But I… I…" she couldn't say a thing
"You said it yourself orders are clear, there's no way back from now, and we have few time to prepare ourselves" he said, Tomoe had her eyes like tomatoes, he did something he never do, he hugged her a pure and sweet hug, she found comfort on his partner's embrace, she was going to say something but he hushed her and for the first time in his life he had felt what a real hug felt like.

He packed black cloth on a small suitcase, a gun a Katana under his coat, he was back in business. The report had been sent, his boss was content with what he found within it.
He was himself the chief of a special squad, they were planning to make a long trip to America, and they had one task that needed to be accomplished.
His steps were very light and kept a constant speed, he was a dangerous man, working at the world's best organization. He was not so tall and had a small frame but well built, his team had great respect for him, he didn't seem to be the kind of man he was and often had received a couple of offenses, his aggressors always ended bad.
He reached an elevator an dialed a code then he took it to the last floor and two huge doors appeared in front of him, he opened them, his Boss welcomed him in, and congratulated him for his amazing research, he politely bowed his head, suddenly someone knocked the door and then entered another guy, he was a blonde, between his 17 or 18 years old, he had beautiful blue eyes and he wasn't tall but again a well built body. They shook hands and then took a seat next the other man.
This mission was very important, they needed to create the perfect plan, they knew about a couple of things revolving and messing stuffs out there, but they were not so important compared to what they were going to face, this time it really was important, they were going to caught The Jupon Gatana red handed, there was no way they could possibly escape now.

She sat on the floor, her back on the wall, the room was dark, not a single noise on the mansion, she needed peace, time to think, a moment alone to make up her mind. A shadow sat beside her, and grabbed her hand, he was cold.
"What's the matter?" Aoshi asked
"I was just thinking that… forget it" she said, she had a very troubled mind and she needed someone to talk with, it was hard to say how she felt or what she was thinking even if he was her husband.
"Everything's ready" Aoshi said "they accepted our terms" he added
"Great" she said sadly
"I will always be with you, no matter what may happen" he said and squeezed her shoulder. It was at times like that when she really felt that there was someone supporting her, he was the kind of guy that stands for his woman, she could always ran into his arms to find comfort, comprehension and the most important of all Love.
"Aoshi?" she asked
"Yes darling?" he asked and brought her body closer to his
"Do you think I made the right decision?" she asked and locked her arms around his neck.

Kenshin stepped out of the bathroom covered in a small towel, Kaoru had sat on the sofa, his hair was damped and water drops were sliding on his awesome chest. He took a seat next to her and asked about her weird behavior. She was willing to make her sister to change, to be the same Misao she used to know, she was so lost in her thoughts that hadn't realized about Kenshin been in front of her.
"What's wrong" he asked and removed the bangs that were falling over her face.
"I'm sorry, did you say something" she asked
"You're up to something" he said "What is it?"
"Misao visited me at the office" She said
"What does she wants?" he asked. Kaoru stood up and went to find her purse, she took out a delicate and beautiful invitation and then she gave it to Kenshin.
"What's this?" Kenshin asked. He opened it and red it carefully. "what's all this about?"
"It's going to be Misao's son baptize" she said, her voice was almost a whisper. "She wants us to be his Godparents, I agreed, but there was something weird in her eyes, she was afraid of something, I cannot tell, I'm not sure of what it is"
"Godparents?" he said, and dried his hair with the other towel he was carrying with him.
"Yes, don't you think it's going to be a wonderful experience?" she asked even though she knew there was something tricky in there, but once again she discarded the thought.
"May be" was his only answer, he did not trust Misao, that was a fact and Kaoru knew it.
"We should give it a try" she said and then she touched his lips with her thumb he grabbed her hand and kissed it, a soft smile played on his lips.
"What will I receive?" he said in a sexy tone
"I guarantee the payment will be fair" she said
"I really hope so" he said.
"so what do you think?" she asked "should I give her our answer?"
"As you wish darling" he said.
"Then I'll call her tomorrow morning" said Kaoru and gave him a sweet kiss on his lips "Now go and put on some clothes or you'll catch a cold" he stood up and headed towards the walking closet.
His suspicions had really affected her, now she was thinking of all the risks, all the possibilities, if she had done it before she could do it now; she slapped her face, For heaven's sake she was thinking bad about her sister, she really had to clear her mind of that kind of thoughts it was only going to make her go insane.
'Please God, tell me that I made the right decision' she whispered

Aoshi was holding her tight by the waist, he was already sleeping and a protective arm was always keeping her close to him.
She could not sleep, her conscience was tormenting her, it was driving her mad, she managed to say a few things that barely came out from her mouth.
'Please God, tell me that I made the right decision' Misao said
