Kaoru grumbled. Kenshin wasn't back yet with the rice, and she was getting really worried. He should have been back last night.
'He wouldn't have gone off wandering again, would he?' she thought. That thought hurt more than any physical wound could. She was getting even more worried now, and if Kenshin wasn't back soon....
"Oi, busu!" Yahiko called. "Kenshin will be back by lunch, right? I can't fast forever!" As if to prove Yahiko's point, his stomach growled. A vein pulsed in Kaoru's head.
"I offered you food, but you refused to eat! It's not MY fault if you die of starvation because you refuse to eat!"
"It is if you know you can't cook and I refuse the food so I don't die of food poisoning!"
"Why you-!" Kaoru grabbed a handy bokken and whapped Yahiko over the head with it.
A knock on the dojo door interrupted them. Kaoru and Yahiko stopped fighting as Kaoru ran to the door and opened it.
"Hello? Oh, it's the police chief." Kaoru said, then her welcoming smile turned to worry. "Wait- why are you here? Did something happen to Kenshin? Is he okay? Where is he?" She then just noticed that the chief held something behind his back.
"What do you have there?" she asked, curious, but still worried.
"Kamiya-dono, Himura-san is all right." The chief took a very familiar sword out from behind his back. "I believe that he lost this. I merely wanted to return it. This was the murderer's weapon, so hopefully he will stop killing without this sword."
"The sakabato!" Kaoru gasped. "Why are you giving this to me?"
"I thought that you would want to give it to him personally, so he could have it with him at the clinic." Chief Uramura bowed. "I have police business to attend to. Tell Himura-san to get well." He turned and left.
"The clinic? Kenshin's at the clinic?" Kaoru stood stock still. If Kenshin was at the clinic, and if he had been there since last night he was either too hurt to move, or.....
"Yahiko, stay here and clean the dojo!" she called over her shoulder, running out the doors.
"Aw, do I have to, busu?"
"And after that, do 500 practice swings!" she called, then ran out of earshot.
'Kenshin, please be okay.'
Sano strutted into the clinic, nose still bleeding, but the flow of blood had subsided slightly.
"Hey, fox-lady! I need you to patch up my bloody nos-" He stopped short. Megumi was sitting on a bed next to some blond guy, obviously patching up a sword wound.
"-nose." he finished, folding his arms. He didn't like the guy, and not just because there was a bad vibe about him.
"Sano?" A voice asked from a corner of the room. Sano turned his head.
"Oi, Kenshin!" Sanosuke said, then noticed his friends bandages. "What happened?"
"I was in a fight with .... with the murderer." Kenshin said, catching himself from revealing who the murderer was. Sure, the man might not be doing anything now, but Kenshin had no doubt that if Sano and Megumi were to learn the identity of the man being treated, he would kill them all, weapon or no weapon.
'I don't know what game he's playing, but.....'
"Did you get a good look at him?" Sano asked, cracking his knuckles. "If we figure out what he looks like, we can-"
"KENSHIN!" a voice called from the clinic doorway. Kaoru stomped in, sakabato in hand.
"Yes, Kaoru?" he asked innocently. "Dono." he amended hastily. Hopefully no one had noticed that his pause between 'Kaoru' and 'dono'.
Unfortunately, Ken-san isn't quite that lucky.
"Kenshin? Why did you add the -dono again? You weren't using it yesterda-" Kaoru started, but he stopped her with a look.
'Don't say it.' he mentally begged her. 'Don't!' (Not adding the -dono ending can mean that they are very close to one another. In men/men relationships, like with Sano and Kenshin, this means that they are great friends. Same with Kaoru and Megumi's friendship. However, not adding the -dono means that they are very familiar with each other when dealing with male/female relations.)
Too late. The damage had been done.
Chishio smiled warmly at the woman that had just walked in.
"I assume that you are Himura Kenshin-san's friend?" he said. He had been able to tell that Battousai hadn't wanted them to meet.
She was his weakness.
'That's what that stupid group of hitokiri were after- her. Get her, the Battousai won't do anything to harm her. You can see it in the fool's eyes.' Chishio smiled.
'She made a big mistake, coming here. She just doesn't know it yet. Like a prisoner signing what he believes to be his release papers, she, too, has signed her own death warrent without realizing it.'
I WANT MORE REVIEWS! I only got one for the last chapter....... *grumbles* Lack of effort people, lack of effort!
'He wouldn't have gone off wandering again, would he?' she thought. That thought hurt more than any physical wound could. She was getting even more worried now, and if Kenshin wasn't back soon....
