Chapter 1
Sakura petals floated gently to the ground. With the sun rays peeping through the sakura trees and falling on the fallen sakura petals, the scene was simply breath-taking. Not a single sound could be heard. The tranquility was strong and unbroken.
"Hey! Give me back my shinai!"
"No way, you little twerp! After the hit you gave me on my noggin, I think I'll just break your precious little shinai."
Well, it was quiet. Now, there were sounds of bickering.
"Oh! Can't you two just stop it already? We're here to have a nice relaxing time and what do you two do? Spoil it for the rest of us. Stop it or I won't pay for your meals!"
Both Sano and Yahiko squatted and hung their heads in shame mumbling their apologies. Kaoru gave a satisfied grin. The grin immediately faded when she heard them add 'tanuki' and 'busu' respectively.
"Mou! I ought to..." Kaoru ran towards them to strike with her bokken but was restrained by Kenshin who was pulling her back by her waist.
"Maa, maa, Kaoru-dono..."
Kaoru blushed deeply and stopped struggling. Kenshin's touch always made her weak and vulnerable and this was no different. Being the baka that he was, Kaoru knew that Kenshin didn't notice but when it came to love, both parties were helpless.
Seeing the change in her, Sano and Yahiko started to tease her.
"Ooo... what happened to the sensei of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu?" Yahiko asked aloud, a bemused grin on his face.
"Yeah, what happened? Weak all of a sudden?" Sano asked, just as mischievously. Turning to the red-headed rurouni, he told him, "You must have a special power over Jou-chan, Kenshin. Look! She stopped attacking! Sugoi yo!"
Kaoru's face turned redder. She was not blushing anymore. In fact, her anger was rising. Wrenching Kenshin's arms from her waist, and quietly regretting so, she stomped to the two whose backs were facing her, leaving her poor rurouni's arm mangled.
"Ororo?"
"Haiyaah!"
Stomping off, Kaoru left the three behind. Kenshin looked at the forms of his friends and saw them laying face flat among the fallen sakura petals, groaning. There were huge lumps on their heads.
"Why does sessha always get into trouble because of them?" Kenshin wondered, shaking his head.
He grabbed hold of Sano's and Yahiko's arm and dragged them whilst racing towards the disappearing form of Kaoru.
"Kaoru-dono! Wait!!"
~*~*~*~*~
"Come on, Kaoru-dono. Forgive them! Sano and Yahiko didn't mean it, ne?" Kenshin turned to look at the two who were nodding soberly.
"I still don't believe them. They can starve for all I care! And for trying to help them, I might let you starve too!" Kaoru said stubbornly, her chin held high.
"Oro?" Kenshin moved closer to Kaoru and gently touched her face and pulled her face towards him so that her eyes were leveled with his. "Gomen- nasai, Kaoru-dono," he said, a huge smile on his face.
Kaoru could not help but look into his warm and caring large violet eyes. With his silly yet adorable smile, Kenshin made her heart melt.
"Oh! Alright. I'll forgive them just because you asked me nicely."
Kenshin's smile widened and Kaoru blushed. To hide her pleasure, she threw a glare at the two idiots and said, "If it wasn't for Kenshin, you two will starve!"
Yahiko and Sano rushed over to Kenshin and started to play around with him. Yahiko punched Kenshin playfully on his arm while Sano gave him a noogie.
"Thanks Kenshin!" Yahiko shouted gleefully. "Yeah, you big loverboy," Sano added.
Luckily Kaoru was walking off so she did not hear the conversation between the three.
"Maa, maa. You shouldn't tease Kaoru-dono like that. She really has a bad temper..." Kenshin said.
"But that's the good part..." Yahiko interrupted.
"Cos it's funny!!" Sano continued.
"But the bad part..." Yahiko turned to Sano for an answer.
"Is getting clobbered," Sano supplied, sadly.
With that, they pointed to the huge lumps on their heads. Kenshin couldn't help but laugh.
"ITAI!!"
Hearing that, the three raced to Kaoru.
Kenshin kneeled down and asked," Kaoru-dono, daijoubu?"
"Daijoubu. I just walked into someone. Can you help me up?" she answered.
"Oh! Hai!" Kenshin stood up and offered her his hand.
"Arigatou, Kenshin."
In front of them, Sano and Yahiko were around the person Kaoru walked into. They were blushing deeply and helping the person up. It was a girl about Kaoru's age with beautiful hazel eyes, long brown hair, full luscious lips, fair skin and the elegance of a lady. Contrary to Kaoru. When Kenshin and Kaoru saw the person, the old man behind her said, "Himura-dono, is that you?"
Next chapter: Find out who is that old man and how he knows Kenshin.
Author's note: Aah! Such a short chapter. This is the first fic that I've ever written but not the first that I've put up. I know the writing stinks but it's your choice to continue reading it or not, ne? =3
