Disclaimer: No own
The next day brought a beautiful new morning and thankfully Kenji did not remember the
questions he had asked his Kaa-chan and Tou-chan the night before, however that did not
stop him from asking other questions. Every time he spoke it was a question and every
question started with one word ‘why’. This word was one of the most simplistic words in
history but for some reason Kenshin was beginning to hate it. Just those three little letters
w, h, and y.
“Tou-chan, what are we making for lunch?” Kenji asked his one hundredth question for
the day. Kenshin was just glad it did not begin with ‘why’.
“We are making vegetable soup.” Kenshin answered praying ever so hard that his son
would not ask more for today, unfortunately Kami did not answer.
“Why?” There it was, that word from the lips that had been uttering it all morning.
“Because we had a good harvest from the vegetable garden this year.” Kenshin answered
hoping that the answered would be enough, it wasn’t.
“Why?” Kenji asked yet again.
“Because we all worked very hard to make the plants grow. Do you not remember,
Kenji?’ Kenshin asked hoping that his own question would divert the boys attention, it
didn’t.
“Yes, I remember, but why?” Kenji continued to ask that same question again and again,
it was getting to be to much even for the rurouni.
“So we could make vegetable soup.” Kenshin answered mentally begging ‘please no more
questions’.
“Oh…why?” Kenshin gave an exasperated sigh as he finally lost all of his patience.
“So we could eat, Kenji why are you asking so many questions?” Kenshin finally unable
to humor his son’s questioning any longer.
“Because the panda-sama said to. He said that if you want to make your parents happy
you should ask lots and lots of question.” Kenji stated in a matter of fact tone. Kaoru who
had now, finished teaching her classes for the day, walked in on the conversation.
“Kenji, what else did the panda tell you to do?” Kaoru asked as a feeling of unease
washed over her.
“Oh well… umm…” Kenji thought for a moment before he began. “He said that when
you see a girwl or a womon that you know in a pupic place you are suposta shout ‘Hey
Hoe!’ reaw woud and when I see a boy or a man I know I am suposta shout ‘Hey you
fucking bastard.’” Kenji scratched his head for a few minutes and continued. “That is all I
can remender he told to do.” Kaoru and Kenshin were both floored by the profanity that
had come so easily out of their innocents child’s mouth and it was all because of panda.
Kaoru looked over at he husband, Kenshin saw the distress in the depth of her azure eyes.
They may have won the battle against the panda on the bridge but they clearly had not won the war.
