***

This was probably the most stupid useless thing she had ever agreed to. Madison had been staking out the Kenshin household for over three weeks now and the most eventful thing that had happened was the arrival of Sanosuke and his new wife two days ago.

 

Other than that the only joy she got out of her day was when she was allowed to watch the big man known as Sano walk around with his shirt off.

 

Even if she was immortal it didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the simple things in life like good looking shirtless men.

 

Madison couldn't help but let out a loud sigh, she needed to think of a new way to go about this. Watching them was boring; befriending them was out of the question. Once you made friends with someone they expected things from you and vice versa.

 

No she would much rather apply as a maid or something so that she could do things while watching them.

 

Too bad they weren't wealthy enough to need a maid. Of course with another child on the way maybe they would need one.

 

It was then that the idea hit her like a ton of bricks, this woman runs a dojo and she might want to learn how to use the sword.

 

“But she's pregnant and not teaching at the moment!” Madison smacked her head. She had been in this tree for too long that was for certain.

 

“It looks like I will be stuck in this tree for a while longer.” At this point she was hoping Hiko hadn't blown anything out of proportion and soon a whole army of assassins would be here to bring horrible things down upon them. At least then she was have something to do besides watch Kenshin do the laundry.

 

“Hey you little lady get back here!”

 

“What's this?” Madison asked as he watched Sanosuke run after his new American wife.

 

“No!' Charlene said, waving her hand meaning don't follow me. She was wearing a soft white dress that was so common in the united states with a corset tied around her already tiny waste and pushing up her chest. She took her hand and pushed away the long brown hair that fell into her eyes.

 

“Charli.”

 

“Don't call me that!” She shouted again.

 

“Now stop taking that tone with me.”

 

Sano finally caught up with her and grabbed a hold of her slightly tanned skin. IT was obvious that her breeding wasn't Caucasian only, it looked as if she had a little Spaniard in her with the olive skin, brown hair and pretty blue eyes.

 

“What is wrong?” he asked quietly in her ear.

 

Charlene sighed, “I'm sorry Sano, it's just that…”

 

“That what?”

 

Charlene turned her face upwards to him and was about to speak when Yahiko interrupted the two. It seemed her and Sano hadn't had a moment alone since they arrived here that boy was always around.

 

“Megumi is here!” he said with great cheer.

 

And there it was again, Charlene noticed, that look of frustration. This Yahiko boy didn't like her not one bit. The woman just took another deep breath. She wasn't the type to just let things slide but Sano really cared about these people and she would do all she could to be pleasant in the way her prep schools had taught.

 

“She is?” a wide smile spread across his face.

 

“Come on little Lady, lets go see Megumi so she can yell at me about my hand some more.”

 

Charlene watched as her husband bounded off like a little boy at Christmas and she smiled happily.

 

“Yeah, Megumi and Sano sort of had a thing when he lived here last.” Yahiko said pointedly.

 

She had several choice words she would like to say to this nosy little brat but instead she swallowed hard and smiled. “That's nice.” And with clenched fists she walked over to the room that held Miss Megumi.

 

“Pathetic.” Said Madison as she leaned back in her tree and closed her eyes.

 

She was just about to fall into a restful nap when she heard it, the snapping of twigs. “Huh?” she sat up quickly but Madison was too late, several men jumped from her tree and bounded towards the Dojo grounds.

 

“Oh no you don't!” She muttered as she scrambled to her feet grabbing a sword and dashing after them. “Hiko is going to kill me.”

 

(*()*)

 

“Oh Sanosuke it's so good to see you.” Megumi grabbed a hold of the man and hugged him close. “I was worried I would never see you again.”

 

“Hey now, you can't get rid of me that easily.”

 

“Oh how is your hand?” she asked grabbing the digit and looking it over.

 

“Just great.” He said grinning. “The other hand is just as strong.”

 

Charlene was standing in the back door way, looking the scene over, and again she got the feeling she wasn't welcomed. When they were traveling the U.S and Europe never had she felt left out and while she insisted they came back here so that Sano could see the friends he missed so much she still felt jealous of the life he led before her.

 

Not to mention she had no idea how to act around them.

 

Charlene turned around when she heard padded steps in the hallway just behind her. Sano, Kenshin, Karou, Kenji, Megumi, and Yahiko. Charlene mentally went over everyone that was at the dojo and they were all currently in the room.

 

Someone was here.

 

Charlene hadn't been a naturally suspicious person but living with Sano she learned how.

 

In a practiced motion Charlene bent over and grabbed the pistol that her father had threatened Sano with the day she told him her intentions of marrying him and held it expertly in her hand. The metal was cool and comforting; it had gotten them through many a rough time.

 

She heard Sano say her name in the other room but she was down the hall and wasn't about to go back with out inspecting the noise.

 

He was standing just inside the doorway, face covered by a mask and he was clothed in dark garments that clung tightly to the body.

 

“Reach for the sky.” She said as she held out a gun aimed right at his chest.

 

The ninja's eyes widened behind his mask but Charlene could see him move for the shooting stars in his hands. With a practiced finger she pulled the trigger and shot the hand he was intending to use then for good measure she got the other one and he crumpled to the ground.

 

“Bad move girly.”

 

Charlene turned around to see another ninja man standing behind her. “Damn it!” she shouted while jabbing with her elbows but he dodged them expertly and put each hand on her neck and was about to crack it when she heard Sano's voice.

 

“Get your damn hands off of her.”

 

It was all the distraction she needed. Charlene put point of her gun in his gut and cocked the hammer. “I'd do as he said.”

 

The man let go of her neck and held his hands up. Sano proceeded to punching him in the face.

 

“Kenshin. You should get a look at this.”

 

Yahiko was coming from out side, he pointed to the yard that was a blood bath. Apparently these weren't the only men trying to attack that day. No, there had been many and someone had been here and made sure they didn't get very far.

 

“Sano, what have you been getting into?” Kenshin asked his voice much darker that Charlene had ever heard before.

Me: K that's it for the moment. It's not so good, but I still feel like writing it.
