'Thoughts'
Chapter 8: The Situation At Hand
Sighing, Kaoru tightened her grip upon Kenshin's hand as she locked her eyes with Aoshi's, not blinking even once.
"As I said Shinomori, Kenshin and Sano both know the truth. All of it. I trust them both with my life and if you have a problem with that, then you can leave now. If not, then you are welcome to join us because frankly, we need all the help we can get against Enshii."
Aoshi didn't reply, he merely stood there, his cool eyes flicking from Kaoru to Kenshin and back. Kaoru immediately recognized this look, the man was thinking her offer over which was more than Kaoru could ever ask for.
'Let's just hope that he'll accept this, because if he doesn't then we will be officially screwed.' She was brought out of her thoughts abruptly when Misao started jumping up and down while dancing about Aoshi, her voice high and screechy.
"Aoshi-sama! Come on, come on! Can we please help her! Please, please, please!!!!" Kaoru was wincing from her current distance, she could only imagine the pain that Aoshi was going through with her as close to him as she was.
Kenshin had been watching the two new comers with much confusion, there was something really strange about these two, 'besides, I don't think that Aoshi can stand anymore of that whining. I'm this far away and it's making my ears bleed, it's a wonder he hasn't muzzled her yet.'
It seemed that Kenshin's assumption was closer to the truth than it seemed, because from one second Misao was yacking away, to the next where Aoshi had his hand clapped over her mouth as he sent her a withering glare. Which surprisingly didn't do a damn thing to the girl, she just smiled behind his hand.
'The little monster.'
"Kamiya, answer me this...are you prepared for what will come from this when the higher-ups hear about this transgression?" Aoshi's voice didn't even change as he locked gazes with Kaoru.
Smiling sadly, Kaoru gave a nod of her head.
"I am Aoshi, and have been ever since I found out about Enshii. I cannot let him harm Kenshin and I will stop him, with or without your help. The higher-ups be damned."
Kenshin narrowed his eyes at Kaoru's comment, one of their earlier conversations coming back to him. A flash of black wings was all it took for the truth of what was happening here, to come crashing down.
'She's serious?!' Gripping Kaoru's shoulder, Kenshin gave her a darkened look, "Kaoru, you can't. I won't let you damn yourself for my sake, you don't deserve a fate like that. Please, Kaoru, don't." He knew that his argument was pathetic and that Kaoru had already made her choice, but he didn't want her to have such a thing happen to her.
Kaoru just smiled sadly up at Kenshin, even as she shook her head, "you know it's too late for that, I've made my choice and I will stick by it Kenshin."
A clearing of a throat returned their attention to their guests, Aoshi's eyes were hard as he spoke, "I see, well then. If this is your decision Kamiya, then I shall stand by you. But I warn you now, this fight will be anything but easy. Enshii will definitely try to use this human against you."
Kaoru nodded her head, she knew that fact all too well, "I know, but there is no helping it."
Narrowing his eyes at Kaoru's words, Kenshin tightened his grip upon her shoulder, "Kaoru, don't count me out of this. I can help and you know it, I'm not that defenseless, not when I have you."
Deciding to put his two cents in as well, Sano moved forwards and placed his hand on Kenshin's shoulder, "hey, don't forget me. You know I've got your back Kenshin."
Kenshin just chuckled as he gave a firm nod of his head, turning to look at their new, 'companions.'
Aoshi inclined his head in acknowledgement of Kenshin's look, "Then the only thing we need to do now is determine just how ready the both of you human's are. I have yet to see either of you in combat, so until I have, we must remain cautious."
Narrowing his eyes at those words, Sano took a threatening step forward, "are you saying that I can't kick your pasty butt? I'll take you on right now pal."
Shaking his head at his friend’s eagerness to fight, something that hasn't changed in all the years he's known Sano, Kenshin spared a glance at the clock. He was curious at just how much time had passed, it seemed like they had been in here for quite a while.
And as his eyes touched the clock, it struck him. School was still in and their lunch break had to have ended a long time ago, but as he read the time on the clock he was shocked to see that it was the exact same time as when they had entered this room.
'Is this some strange joke, or does one of these two really have the ability to control time?' Looking over at Aoshi and Misao, he tried to guess which one of them was the one who had done it. His money was on Aoshi.
After all, the guy seemed to have that kind of aura about him. The girl just seemed to genki for her own good and he didn't know her well enough to know it this is how she always acted or not.
It seemed that Aoshi had noticed his eyes upon his person because he locked their eyes, surprising Kenshin when he spoke, "Mr. Himura, as you are clearly wondering, it was Miss. Machimaki who froze time and not myself."
Kenshin's jaw literally dropped at that and he could only gape for several long moments before feminine laughter reached his ears. It seemed that both Kaoru and Misao had found his predicament rather hilarious, much to his chagrin of course.
Sano was just plain confused as he looked at the other four people in the room, either they all knew something that he didn't or they had all gone quite mad in the last few moments.
'My bet's on the later.'
He had to clear his throat after a few moments to get their attentions, "am I missing something here?"
Kaoru stifled her laughter at that and smiled sheepishly at the guy, "sorry about that Sano, but it's nothing to worry about," turning she gave a nod to Misao, "return us."
Smiling happily, Misao winked and the bell signaling the end of the lunch period sounded.
Sano jumped at it's sudden ringing and hurried to take his seat as other students came filling into the classroom.
Kenshin helped Kaoru to her seat and glanced up to see that both Misao and Aoshi had disappeared, not that he was surprised. It's not like they were just going to stand around and pretend not to be there.
So as he took his own seat, he couldn't help but wonder, 'how crazy is the rest of this week going to turn out?'
A/N- That's this chapts end...well...I hope that this one made sence to everyone, I just couldn't really get anywhere without getting this settled first.
Anyway, sorry again about the really long wait on this chapt. I really am trying to update once for each of my stories before this month is out, but we'll just have to see how well that'll turn out.
So please bare with me here, I'm really trying to get the next chapts of this and the other's done.
So until then...
