Chapter 150: Kyoto Epilogue 5--In the Blue Sky
(Everyone from the Aoiya is out to see Kenshin and the others off.)
Kaoru: Thank you for everything you've done for us.
Okina: Not at all. Take care.
Misao (her eyes brimming with tears): Come back to Kyoto sometime. I know we'll have lots of fun then.
Kaoru: Of course. And you'll have to come see us in Tokyo.
Yahiko: Or don't. You're annoying.
(Misao clasps Kaoru's hand as Kaoru bonks Yahiko with the other.)
Misao: I'll come! I'll definitely come!
Kenshin: Mr. Okina, I haven't seen Aoshi. Has he gone to the temple again today?
Okina: Not quite. Lately he hasn't even been going to the temple, he just meditates all day. It seems as though he doesn't want anyone near him.
Kenshin: I see.
(They walk to Aoshi's room. Aoshi is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the floor, facing away from the door.)
Kenshin: Aoshi, we're taking our leave now. If we ever get a chance, let's have a drink some time.
Aoshi: I don't drink.
Kenshin: I see...
Aoshi (without turning around): But if it were for tea, it would be my pleasure.
(As they walk out)
Yahiko: But he never smiled once. Gloomy jerk.
Kaoru (bonking him again): Don't talk like that!
Kenshin: That's true. But it won't be me who succeeds in that. That's for Miss Misao to do.
Misao: Right! You just leave that to me!
Kenshin (as Kaoru and Yahiko duke it out behind them): Miss Misao, you've been of great help. Thank you.
Okon: You all take care!
Misao: And I'm coming to see you soon!
Kaoru: You too! Misao, we'll be expecting you!
(They walk off.)
Omasu: They're nice people.
Okina: Yes ... such warmth. A kind group.
(Two figures are watching from an alleyway; one is smoking.)
Chou: You sure about this, boss? You said you don't need to talk to them, but I bet they're kinda worried about you.
Saitou: I only joined forces with Battousai temporarily to destroy the Shishio faction. Now that duty has been fulfilled.
Chou: Zat so.
