Hidden Truth

Disclaimer: I don't own Samurai7

The sun started setting.

Shichiroji looked behind him, seeing if Kirara and Heihachi are still on his trail. He sighed inwardly.

These guys just don't know when to call it quits, he thought.

"It appears that Shichiroji-sama's slowing down." Heihachi spoke to brake the silence.

"That's good to know."

Both started to walk faster, trying their best to catch up with the blonde. But also staying a few feet away from him.

We need to hurry, she thought. The sun is starting to disappear.

As the dishes are put away, Kambei thought of the first time when Kyuzo checked to see if he was pregnant.

The expression on his face was priceless. A flash of past events came to his mind.

The silent and nearly emotionless samurai was in total shock.

His half lidded, crimson-red eyes widen.

He felt the nerve to kill Kambei on the spot for doing this to him. But he knew he couldn't.

"At least the silence wouldn't linger too long anymore." The cooing words that came from the man he loved was right, it has been a little too quiet inside their cosy cottage.

Kyuzo wouldn't mind having a little infant running around.

Kambei was excited to hear that Kyuzo would keep the child.

Now that I think of it, Kyuzo would always say 'infant' or 'child', but never the word 'baby'. Kambei thought as he stroked his chin.

He left the kitchen clean and headed off to find his beloved in their room.

"Not too shabby." Heihachi grinned. Shichiroji nodded.

Both of them could tell that the aura behind them had this eerie scent, but they tried their hardest to ignore.

"Well? aren't we going in there or not?" Kirara walked pass them with an impatient feeling.

I hope Kyuzo-dono won't fight her for Kambei's attention. Shichiroji prayed before entering the house.

Kyuzo already knew that Kirara had a great deal of affection for that man. He also knew that Kambei had always cared for him, Kirara din't concerc him much at all. He kept his word to die only at his hands (A/N: That saved him alot of times in the series). That proof was enough to tell that Kambei conceded himself to him. And just by betraying Ayamaro, even he surrendered to him.

Jesus, the almighty, oh lord. Please... Let there be rice enough for me to eat the whole night away... incase there are any bickering going on. Heihachi prayed as he followed Shichiroji inside.
