Saphire wasn't paying attention to the dancing kitty, she was busy practicing her alphabet and doodlin on the napkin.
Kenshin how ever knew something was wrong with Utada, even though she moved with a grace and motion which didn't tell anyone she was hurt, he noticed how her eyebrows furrowed as she fought the pain, but her face remained calm and sweet and almost expressionless.
Utada could have screamed if she was not a trained warrior. It pained her just to do the simplest of dances, once she finished dancing she smiled to everyone who applauded, then took her position and began to sing, swaying to the delicate rhythm. But then she stopped and held up her hand, she heard something no one else could hear, not even Kenshin. It was her old friend, the old man, dying. Tears came to her eyes and she signaled the guitarist to play another song. The saddest song ever sang by Utada. "Death be only the beginning, but I will miss you always."
