So… here is the last chapter… at the end of this chapter are the thank you notes which includes EVERYBODY who has reviewed until now. And… about my name… yes I decided to use it! Hee hee… don’t kill me but I JUST HAD TO!!!!! ^^ anyway… here goes nothin! Epilogue

A hearty laugh could be heard through out the dojo causing all it’s occupants to turn towards the sound.

"maa, maa." Kenshin smiled nervously at the person in front of him. The laughing did not stop though.

"You asked for the truth and I gave it you…" replied Kenshin

.

"hai hai… demo she doesn’t know anything about this does she?" the person asked between giggles

"Iie… and I’d appreciate it if…" Kenshin started

"maa, I know, you told me from the beginning that I was not to tell anyone, tou-san." he smiled

"So be a little smarter than me and take it easy de gozaru yo. You don’t want the poor girl fainting at mid date now do you?"

"Demo… I don’t even know if she’s going say yes. But, I’m going to ask her anyway… arigatou tou-san! I feel better now knowing I sure can’t screw up as bad as you did!" Kenji started to laugh again

Kenshin sweat dropped. "Feh! Don’t you go waiting 2 years like your baka Otou-san did ne?" he warned

"demo… I’m only 17 de gozaru! You were thirty!" Kenji blurted out

"Twenty nine-de gozaru…" Kenshin corrected

Kenji glared at his father for that comment.

"Gomen, but still your mother was your age! Well a year older, be thankful you don’t have that same difficulty, you only have a years difference between you and her." Pointed out Kenshin

"But still…!"

"mou! Kenji-chan! I can’t believe you! Put that girl out of her misery and ask her out!"

both Himura’s ‘oro’ed.

"Kaa-san! How long have you been there?!" Kenji asked his mother who was behind the corner.

"Long enough…" she glared at Kenshin who sweat dropped.

"Oi! Kenji! Someone to see you!" yelled a twelve year old Shinya

Kenji turned to attention. He felt a familiar ki at the door and took off full speed.

"So anata… multiple personalities you say?" asked Kaoru

"Ano… hai… sort of…" he whimpered

"mm, that explains a lot of things… I thought they were just mood changes…"

"well no… they are person changes de gozaru…" Kenshin sweat dropped at the stupidity he had just said.

"so… which one is which?" she asked

"Eto… depends on the situation de gozaru yo…"

"oh… I see," she giggled " I can imagine when Battousai takes over…"

‘<HA!!! She knows my ways!!!>’

"So which one are you now?" Kaoru asked

"Ano…"

"I really feel like having… a … close encounter with Battousai" she said playfully inching her way towards Kenshin.

‘<*sticks out his tongue*>

<*glare*>

<*glare*>’

*°*

"yeah… he’s a nice guy, a little baka sometimes but that can be fixed. He’s totally obsessed with you so you gotta say yes ne? he’d make a good husband I guess and he’s great with a sword… if you know what I mean…" said Shinya to the visitor

She only giggled nervously. Kenji came to the rescue bonking the poor kid on the head

"Baka gaki! What are you doing here?!"

"Hey! Don’t call me a gaki you midget!" said Shinya standing up to full height.

Even though Shinya was 5 years younger than Kenji he was the same height, due to the fact that Kenji was not a very big person. Even so looks are deceiving, Kenji carried a common sakabatou but only wanted the best. His father said when the day came he would give Kenji his own. But there was another successor to the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Shinya as well turned out to be a formidable young man, he had yet to complete his training but he promised Kenji that one day he would fight him and win Kenshin’s sakabatou.

In the meantime how ever he was still not strong enough to battle him, Kenji knew this and set his left hand on the sakabatou, where the sheath and the sword met.

"Oi! You don’t have to hit me! You see what he does to me Bao-san? Everybody around here hits me for no reason whatsoever! You like me don’t you Bao-san?" he asked playfully strapping himself over her

"Of course I like you Shinya-kun." She said playfully a little uneasy about the sudden act of affection.

A vein on Kenji’s forehead popped out as he rose his thumb and clicked the sword.

"Shinya get back in here! You haven’t finished your lesson yet!" yelled Yahiko from inside the dojo.

"Che tou-san! Nobody appreciates the help I give the red-headed midget!" he said letting go of Bao and walking off to the dojo again

"Tsubame-san says she sends you and your father a kiss" said Bao to Shinya he waved without turning around.

Kenji grumbled a few words to him and looked back at his guest. He smiled stupidly and stared at her.

"Ano… kaa-san and I made these candies… and I know you like sweets so… here." said a blushing Bao offering the basket she had by her side.

"uhh, arigatou Bao-dono" he stammered taking the basket

"Mou! Kenji-kun! How many times have I told you not to call me dono?" she pouted

"gomen Bao-do--…" he caught himself and Bao raised an eyebrow.

"Chan…" he finished. Bao smiled.

A small girl the age of 4 came to where the couple was and strapped herself to Kenji’s hakama

"Kenji! I want candies!!" she said reaching for the basket in Kenji’s hands

Kenji handed her the basket and looked expectantly at her. She turned to see a girl at the door.

"Konichiwa Lady That Kenji Likes, arigatou for the candies." She gave a brilliant smile

Kenji oro’ed hi eyes bulging and Bao blushed to her roots.

"Rei! Don’t you have to be some place else?!" Kenji blurted at the small girl

"Iie… kaa-san is at the clinic and tou-san is sleeping." She said innocently…

Kenji groaned as Rei approached the visitor once more

"What’s you name?" she asked

"Watashi wa Ayamani Bao." She said bowing before the girl.

"my name is Sagara Rei. Ano… are you going to marry Kenji-chan? Everybody always say that…" she said to her

"ano… eto…" Bao stammered

"Look Rei there’s your big sister! go bug her!" Kenji said pushing the girl off

Rei smiled and went running as fast as she could with the big basket by her side.

"Crystal! Lookie! The girl that Kenji likes gave me candies!!!" she yelled for everyone to hear.

The young lady passing by noticed Bao at the door.

"Bao-chan!" she yelled heading in their direction.

"Crys-chan!" Bao responded back

"What are you doing here this early? Ohhh you came to see the midget didn’t ya?" asked Crystal with a smile.

"Oi!" protested Kenji

"listen Bao-chan… before you start dating the red-head there are a few things I gotta tell you…" Crystal started…

Kenji sweat dropped and Bao looked expectantly to her friend. Crys got between them pushing Kenji out of the way, hard.

"Oro!" lay a swirly eyed Kenji on the floor next to them

Crys raised the pointer finger of her right and waved it in front of her friend's nose, left hand resting on Bao's right shoulder.

"Now." Her face is serious as she speaks. "People related to Ojii-chan tend to have split personalities. That is..... they tend to argue with themselves...."

"Hoe?" replied Bao

"That’s right. so be prepared for odd events ok? Hmm what else?. Dress really prettiful-like. I guarantee you'll have him following you like a little puppy dog, and drooling like one. You'll have him in your hand, wrapped around your little finger. Anything you ask of him, he'll do."

Bao nodded and waited for Crys to continue. Crystal laughed, just picturing Kenji doing this, scaring Bao with the malice in the laugh.

"Chotto matte." Said Crys

She grabbed Bao’s kimono by the shoulders and pulled it outwards making it separate a little in the middle. Bao blushed placing her hand over her chest and Cry smiled.

"Leave it like that! Do that on your date too! You can sure have him do anything that way, and his raging hormones won't be much help! He may loose control once in a while so I better not catch you doing something......married people do. Don’t forget I’m your age and know exactly what’s going on in your little head ne? at least one of you has to be sane… or at least thinking." She placed a finger on her friend’s forehead

"Hai hai!" blushed Bao

"You might want to bring along a few cloth napkins too" said Crys

"Cloth napkins? What for?" asked Bao

"Weren’t you paying attention to everything I just said?! Take the napkins just in case someone’s nose starts bleeding. And I don’t just mean him." Crys pointed down at Kenji

"Hoe!" Bao blushed deeper

"And never forget! He's got his father's stupidity, too! Knowing him he'll say some really odd things! Like....hmm.... did he ask you out yet? Wait for it. I'm sure that would be a major clue to the state his mind is in!!" She let loose evil laughter

Kenji appeared behind Crys the same colour of his hair, from anger and embarrassment. Sensing the extreme heat behind her she turned and found a very upset Kenji…

"Don’t give me that look Kenji! You had better take good care of her or else I’ll give you more than just a look!" threatened Crys not at all intimidated by him

Kenji kept glaring. Bao sweat dropped.

"All right! I’m leaving! But don’t forget what I told you! Both of you. Ja!" she said picking up her sister and heading back to the house laughing a little to cheerfully.

Kenji sweat dropped. Bao smiled at the two small running figures.

"Well, I have to be going Kenji-kun… Tsubame and kaa-san are waiting for me at the Akabeko." She said bowing and turning

"matte!" Kenji blurted

She turned around with questioning eyes.

"Hai?"

"a… ano… well, um…" he stammered

"Yes?" Bao asked again

"would you like to have me with dinner tomorrow!?" he asked

"nani?" she sweat dropped along with everyone else at the dojo eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Was I right or was I right?" whispered Crys

Kenji’s face paled and his eyes bulged. ‘<Damn my fathers genes!!!!>’

"I mean…! I’m asking you out!!!" he shouted

Bao and Kenji both reddened. Everyone else at the dojo waited for her response.

"um… kitto…" she said simply

"Honto ni?!" Kenji looked taken aback

"Hai…" she confirmed

‘<Excellent!!>

<Oro?! What the hell was that?>

<Konichiwa… that was me…>

<And who the hell are you?>

<name’s Himura Kenji…>

<Matte! You can’t be Himura Kenji! I’M Himura Kenji!!>

<Well that makes two of us…>

<*twitch* huh?!>

<So… what moves do we plan to make on her?>

<*eyes bulge*>

<*wicked smile*>’

‘<¡¡¡¡OOOOOOOOORORORORORORORORORORORO!!!!>’

*FIN*

O_O¿ ~~~~~~~~~~°*°~~~~~~~~~~ @_@¿

A/N: hiya!!!!!! T-T *sob* finished!!!!! That’s all folks! Noooooo! You know I read the first chapter of this story yesterday… and in my notes I said I was gonna make this my first one-shot! ¬¬’ yeah right! this is the longest story I have ever written! T-T *cry* So what do you think?! I know I left it wide open, and anything could happen but if I made a sequal it would be the same plot and I think that’s kinda boring well at least for me… but if anybody want’s to make a sequel they can… ^^ just not me… :P anyway I guess this is good bye… ¬¬ for a while anyway… I have new idea for another fic that’s just about the wonderful little Kenji!!!! ¬¬ well not little…. At least not in my fic… but anyway that comes later ^^ I’m pretty sure they didn’t know what genes were at the time… but hey! Let’s make pretend! the part about Battling Yahiko’s son is also true… ^^ I’m sure the ages are all mixed up, and some don’t make sense… but still hehehe… Sano and Megumi I don’t know if they have children… let’d keep making pretend! And also just in case you didn’t know what ‘hoe’ is it’s just like Kenshin’s ‘oro’ if you have ever seen CCS you know what I’m talking about, and yes…. It’s MY fic and I wanted to be in it SO DEAL WITH IT!!!! ¬¬’ eeeeehehehe… ok I’m leaving…
