Songs: Run To You from the Rurouni Kenshin sountrack, Geronimo by Sheppard
She was going to KILL him! How DARE he do something like that! After all she's done for him, he just had the gall to ruin her new kimono like that! ''KENSHIN!'' Kaoru Kamiya yelled as she bolted down the streets of Tokyo, not caring when people looked at her as if she was crazy.
The assistant-master stopped for a moment to catch her breath and survey the area before sighing as her search came up empty. Kaoru grimaced when she looked down and saw her ruined kimono. ''That clumsy jerk!'' She yelled , glaring at nothing in particular and clenching her fist. Just thinking about what happened made her tremble in anger...
Kaoru brightened up when she heard the door to the dojo slide open. She quickly finished tying her hair in it's normal ponytail and rushed out to show Kenshin the new kimono she'd bought yesterday. The blackette slid her bedroom door open and stepped out into the courtyard, smiling at him. ''Welcome back, Kenshin!'' she said cheerfully, folding her hands in front of her.
''Hello, Miss Kaoru.'' Kenshin said, smiling at her and holding up the bowl of tofu he had with him. ''I brought you the tofu you wanted, that I did.'' he said, walking towards the house to put the food away.
''Oh that's nice Kenshin, thank you.'' Kaoru said, waving her hand as if to dismiss the subject. ''So, uh...'' she said, blushing and dusting off some imaginary debris from her kimono. ''Notice anything... new about me?''
Kenshin stopped and blinked. His purple eyes swept over her for a brief moment before he closed his eyes and smiled at her again. ''Did you change your hair ribbon, Miss Kaoru?'' he asked.
Kaoru's eye twitched but she strained her smile a little. ''No. Try again.''
''Um, well...'' Kenshin said, rubbing the back of his head with one hand as the other held the tofu. ''You...changed your socks?''
''Ugh!'' Kaoru said, stomping her foot. ''You're hopeless!'' she complained and turned, angrily walking away down the hall.
''Wait! Miss Kaoru!'' Kenshin said, taking off his shoes and stepping up onto the deck. He didn't see what lay there waiting for him...
''What!?'' Kaoru roared, turning around and glaring at him. Her eyes caught something tan on the floor that she didn't notice til now. ''Wait, Kenshin stop!''
But it was too late. Kenshin, being the clutz that he is when not doing something sword related, tripped over Yahiko's wooden sword and managed to spill the tofu water all over Kaoru's new kimono. The assistant-master shrieked and raised her arms in front of her face as she was splashed. The water was cold and made her shiver as it drenched the front of her kimono and parts of her arms.
The blackette looked down at herself and gasped at what she saw. Her face quickly became angered and she glared at the swirly eyed samurai lying in a heap in front of her. ''Kenshin...'' she seethed, teeth looking strangely sharper than they were a second ago as she clenched her fists in anger.
Kenshin looked up with wide eyes and quickly got up, waving his hands in apology. ''I apologize Miss Kaoru, that I do! I didn't mean to-''
''This was my new kimono Kenshin.'' Kaoru hissed.
''Oro..'' Kenshin said softly and backed away from Kaoru, his foot bumping into the tofu bowl he dropped earlier. ''Well look at this! I'd better... go get some more for you!''
''GET BACK HERE KENSHIN!'' Kaoru yelled as the samurai hopped over the deck and proceeded to high tail it out of there.
Kaoru grabbed some fabric of her ruined kimono sadly and rung it out a little bit. The assistant-master had already gotten part of her revenge, but it wasn't as satisfying as punching Kenshin for what he did. She had found Yahiko earlier in the dojo before she left and had proceeded to beat him to a pulp for not taking care of his sword. The blackette had told him at least twenty times already to take care of his things but the kid never listened. He got what he deserved.
She crossed her arms and looked around again after she caught her breath and wasn't surprised when she couldn't find any sign of the samurai anywhere. ''You have to come home sometime Kenshin.'' Kaoru talked to herself, an evil look came onto her face. ''And when you do...'' she trailed off, clenching both her fists as she thought of what was to come.
The Kamiya turned on her heel and started to make her way towards home when she suddenly caught sight of red hair a little ways away from her. She rubbed her hands together menacingly and crept towards Kenshin. 'Oh you're gonna get it...' she thought to herself as she cracked her knuckles.
She waited until the red head wasn't surrounded by too many people before she lept into action. ''I found you, Kenshin!'' she yelled and pulled his hair, pulling him back towards her and then punching him in the face.
Kaoru wasn't at all surprised when some people gasped from across the street as Kenshin fell to the ground. ''That's what you get for ruining my new kimono you jerk!'' she fumed, crossing her arms and turning her back to him.
''How rude of a lady to do such a thing!'' Dr. Gensai, who had just passing through on his way home, said as he walked up to the two of them. ''Kaoru! You should be ashamed.''
''Dr. Gensai?'' Kaoru asked. ''What do you mean? This is Kenshin we're talking abo- oh!'' she gasped, finally looking at the person she punched.
Instead of Kenshin lying on the ground, there was a girl that looked to be a little older than her holding her sore cheek ''Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!'' Kaoru helped the poor girl to her feet together with Dr. Gensai. ''I thought you were someone else!'' She said as she brushed some dirt off of the girl's kimono, which she noticed looked really cute with it's yellow sunflowers, golden grasshoppers and white background color. It matched well with her dark red hair which was pulled to her left side in a braid.
''You have quite a punch there.'' The girl said, smiling at her as she slowly took her hand away from her face when the old doctor asked to see her wound.
Dr. Gensai moved a stray piece of hair from her face as he looked over the bruise. ''If you put some ice on it, it looks like it won't be too bad.''
''I have ice at my house!'' Kaoru burst out suddenly, feeling very very guilty for punching a complete stranger in the face, and a defenseless girl no less!
''How kind of you, but you don't need to-''
''I insist!'' Kaoru said, taking the girl's hand and pulling her in the direction of the dojo. ''See you later, Dr. Gensai!''
''Goodbye Kaoru! Nice meeting you, miss!'' The doctor called back, waving. ''Well that was an eventful morning if I do say so myself.'' he said, turning to make his way back home but stopped when he saw the outline of what looked to be a knife hidden in the obi of Kaoru's new acquaintance. ''Maybe these old eyes are just fooling me...'' he thought aloud, shrugging it off and walking away.
''Ow!''
''I'm sorry! Am I pressing too hard?''
''I can handle it.'' the red-head girl said, putting her hand on the bag of ice that Kaoru was holding to her cheek. ''I'm a big girl.''
''Right.'' Kaoru blushed and sat down next to her on the deck. ''Sorry. It's just that I feel so guilty.''
''Don't be.'' The other girl said, waving a hand at her. ''People make mistakes.''
''But I-'' The blackette started.
''It's alright. I'm not mad.''
''Oh...okay.''
There was a silence for a few moments between the two strangers before Kaoru broke it when she remembered something. ''By the way, what's your name? I didn't catch it...''
''That's probably because I never said it.'' The red-head said, smiling at her. ''My name's Rini Kiyoko.''
''Rini Kiyoko...'' Kaoru tried it out. ''Nice to meet you. I'm Kaoru Kamiya.'' She said.
''Likewise.'' Rini said leaning against one of the pillars on the deck. Kaoru's home was small, but very cozy. She could tell that there was a lot of fun and laughter in this house. ''Although I wish we met under different circumstances.''
''Sorry...'' Kaoru apologized again, dropping her head, sullen.
''There you go again.'' Rini laughed. ''I told you, it's fine.''
''Oh, right.'' Kaoru laughed a little as well. Come to think of it, the situation was kind of funny. Both of them stopped, though, when they heard feet approaching.
''Hey, Kaoru!'' Yahiko said as he approached the girls, limping a little from his earlier beating from the Kamiya. ''Isn't Kenshin supposed to be making dinner? I'm starving!''
Kaoru huffed and turned away. ''Kenshin is on the run right now.''
''What'd you do to him, dummy! Now I'm gonna starve, or worse, have to eat your cooking!'' Yahiko complained, pointing angrily at her.
Kaoru immediately grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him towards her. ''What'd you say?! You've got a lot of nerve!''
''Yea I have to, to live with you ugly!''
Rini blinked as she watched the two of them fight in silence, not sure what to make it all. The bickering continued for a few more minutes before she finally got fed up with all the yelling. ''How about I make you dinner then? Would that be okay?'' She asked, putting her hands up in a sign of peace.
''Oh Miss Rini!'' Kaoru said, letting go of the kid's shirt and dropping Yahiko flat on his butt. ''You don't have to do that. You're our guest.''
''Who?'' Yahiko asked, scratching the back of his head, having not noticed the other person until now.
''Oh, I'm Rini. And you are?'' Kaoru's guest said, smiling when Yahiko shook her hand in greeting.
''I'm Yahiko Myojin! And I'm an A class swordsman!'' He pointed to himself in a proud manner.
''You just an apprentice Yahiko. Don't get a swelled head.'' Kaoru said, pulling at his cheek and glaring at him.
''Shut up ugly!'' the young swordsman retorted, pulling at her cheek in retaliation.
''Alright alright.'' Rini shook her head. ''Let's get back on track here. If you won't let me cook Miss Kaoru, then why don't we all cook together?''
''I'm not cooking with her!'' Yahiko pointed at Kaoru. ''She'll chop my finger off!''
''You would probably burn it anyway!'' Kaoru hissed before turning her attention to her guest and smiling sweetly. ''That sounds like a great idea. I need to let off some steam anyway...'' She looked back at Yahiko out of the corner of her eye.
''Whatever. Just don't come crying to me when she ruins your taste buds, lady.'' The young swordsman said and stuck out his tongue towards his teacher, causing Rini to laugh softly at his antics while he trotted away to go practice in the dojo.
''Welp,'' Kaoru said when he was gone. ''Let's get to it then!'' She then showed the older girl the way to the kitchen.
A few minutes later found them working hard in the kitchen. ''Sorry about that, Miss Rini. Yahiko and I...really don't get along very well.'' Kaoru said sheepishly as she started to get some water boiling and took out some cooking utensils from the cupboard.
''I can see that.'' Rini said, shaking her head as she chopped up some vegetables. ''I found it quite funny to be honest.''
''By the way,'' The redhead continued, changing the subject. ''How exactly... did your kimono get ruined?'' she asked, pointing to the other girl's soaked kimono with her knife.
''Oh!'' Kaoru said, having forgotten about it while watching the older girl cook. She blushed and clasped her hands in front of her to hide some of the stain. ''It's... well, one of the freeloaders living at my house tripped and poured tofu water all over me.'' she explained, grinding her teeth at the thought.
''What a shame.'' The older said, putting down her knife and putting the vegetables into a bowl to wash them. ''It looks like a new kimono too.''
''It is!'' Kaoru said, surprised that Rini knew it was just bought. But then again, it wasn't that surprising now that Kaoru thought about it.
Rini's kimono looked to be expensive and looked really cute to her so maybe the redhead knew a thing or two about that kind of stuff. 'She probably has a whole closet full of them and I bet they all look great!' she couldn't help but think, jealous of the other girl's taste in clothes. 'And her hair looks silky too! How does she DO that?' Kaoru touched part of her own hair and sighed. 'Some girls have all the luck.'
''..boiling?... Miss Kaoru!'' Said girl was ripped from her jealous daze by the other occupant in the room.
''Huh?!'' Kaoru asked, blinking.
''Is the water boiling yet?''
''Oh!'' Kaoru said, quickly turning to the pot of water she was supposed to be watching. ''Yes. You can put the vegetables in now.'' She sheepishly said and helped get the vegetables in the water.
''What were you daydreaming about?'' Rini inquired after a brief moment of silence. She was currently washing her knife so she could cut up some fish.
Kaoru blinked and turned to her guest. ''I was just thinking how good your kimono looked.'' Better to just be truthful than come up with something stupid on the spot, she mused to herself.
''This old thing?'' Rini asked, lifting up the arms of her kimono. ''I've had this for four years already.''
''Really?'' Kaoru asked, shocked.
''Yep!'' Rini said cheerfully and pulled her right sleeve to show the other girl a few holes and tares.
''Wow! It looks brand new though!'' Kaoru said, surprised as she went over and touched the torn fabric gingerly.
''It's all in the way you wash it. I could show you sometime, if you want.''
''That would be great! Thanks.'' Kaoru said, smiling at her new friend, who smiled back at her.
Together they finished cooking the vegetables and fish, talking about random things as they worked. Rini showed Kaoru what to do and what not to do and the meal didn't turn out to be half bad. Before the two girls knew it, they had a nice meal on their hands.
''Whew!'' Kaoru said, wiping her brow and smiling. ''This looks great!'' she said, feeling proud as she looked at the food displayed on the eating table. ''Yahiko it's time for dinner!'' She hollered down to the dojo, not caring that her scream probably scared the elderly couple who lived across the street half to death.
Said boy poked his head around the corner and eyed her suspiciously. ''Did you make it?''
''Yes. I did.'' Kaoru replied, eye twitching and fists clenched at her sides.
''No thanks!'' Yahiko disappeared around the corner in a flash, causing his sensei to gape at him.
''Jerk!'' She stomped her foot. ''Fine. More for us, right Miss Rini?'' She turned around and blinked to see her new friend looking for her shoes. Kaoru's expression deflated and she looked concerned. ''Miss Rini? Aren't you staying for dinner? You made it after all.''
''Now that's not true.'' Rini said sitting down on the deck and reaching for her shoes. ''You need to give yourself credit, Kaoru. All I did was show you what to do.''
Kaoru frowned. She wanted Rini to stay, it's what she thought would happen. At least for dinner... and also, the older girl was surprisingly easy to talk to and friendly. She could see that the two of them would make really good friends. ''But I...'' She thought for a moment. ''You haven't met Kenshin yet!'' She blurted out. She had already apologized for punching the redheaded girl in the face and explained why she did so. There was no other reason Kaoru could come up with for her to stay.
Rini smiled. ''No, I suppose I haven't.'' She said and for a moment Kaoru felt relieved that her new friend wasn't going away yet. But that moment was short lived as Rini straightened up after getting her shoes on. ''But I really wouldn't want to impose.''
Kaoru was about to protest but a familiar voice beat her to it. ''If Miss Kaoru invites you to stay, it's out of the kindness in her heart, that it is. You should accept it. We have plenty of food to go around.''
''You!'' Kaoru exclaimed and pointed at Kenshin angrily. Said man was holding a bucket that was most likely full of new tofu. He had a smile on his face even as she went over to him and ripped the bucket from his hands.
''So this is Kenshin.'' Rini said, smiling and not at all surprised when Kaoru punched the poor guy square in the face.
Once he recovered from being swirly-eyed, Kenshin smiled at Kaoru's guest. ''I am Kenshin Himura, that I am. And you are?''
Kaoru grinned and introduced her new friend. ''This is Rini Kiyoko. I just met her a few hours ago.'' She said, scratching the back of her head sheepishly when she thought of how they actually met.
''Yes. And now I see why you made that mistake in the first place.'' Rini said. Kenshin had red hair like her, only his was lighter and longer in length. She let her eyes sweep over him and stopped at the sword on his belt. She looked at it for a moment before turning her attention back up to his face.
''Oro?'' Kenshin looked between the two women, confused.
Kaoru blushed and clasped her hands in front of her. ''I just mistook her for you in town today.''
Rini looked at Kaoru, who glanced at her and nodded. She was guessing that the younger girl didn't want to let anyone else know that she punched her in the face this morning. ''Yes. She thought it was interesting that our hair is almost the same color.''
''That's right!'' Kaoru played along easily. ''Then I invited her over and we made dinner together.''
''I see.'' Kenshin said and closed his eyes. He then smiled at the two girls. ''Well I hope you stay for dinner, Miss Rini.''
''I do too.'' Kaoru said and inched towards her new friend shyly.
''I suppose...'' Rini started, looking between the two. ''If you don't mind, I could stay.''
''Yes!'' Without thinking, Kaoru grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the dining room. ''Of course I don't mind. Freeloaders scoff meals from me all the time.''
As Kaoru chattered away at her and pulled her to go eat, Rini couldn't help but think about what she had just gotten herself into. She looked behind her at Kenshin, looking for some help, but he just smiled at her and followed silently. She sighed and looked once more at the other redhead's sword before turning her full attention back onto Kaoru.
''Wow this is really good!'' Kaoru said when she tried the food she prepared with Rini. All three of them were sitting at the table enjoying the food that wasn't as bad as Kaoru thought it was going to be, what with her being a sucky cook. She knew that she was, she could admit it, but that didn't mean she had to like it.
''I told you that you could do it if you tried.'' Rini said as she ate some of her own food.
Kaoru laughed, turning slightly red before grinning at her friend. ''So how is it Kenshin?''
''It's excellent, Miss Kaoru. The best dish you've prepared yet.'' Kenshin said happily, munching on his own food.
''Oh stop you two!'' Kaoru said, laughing obnoxiously at her own success.
''By the way Miss Kaoru.'' Kenshin started. ''Isn't Yahiko going to eat?''
Kaoru's laughter died and she shoved some food into her mouth angrily. ''He can starve for all I care.'' She said after she swallowed. She crossed her arms and huffed. ''He said he didn't want my food.''
''Shouldn't he eat at least something, though?'' Rini asked, frowning. ''I wouldn't want him to be hungry all night.''
''If he doesn't want to eat. Then he doesn't have to.'' Kaoru scoffed and took a big bite of her food in irritation.
''But he looks like he's starving over there, that he does, Miss Kaoru.'' Kenshin said, turning everyone's attention to Yahiko, who was suddenly standing in the dooway, scratching the back of his neck.
''Well look who decided to show up.'' Kaoru said, turning back to her food.
''Won't you join us?'' Rini asked, smiling at the young boy.
Yahiko was silent as he walked over to the table and sat down between Rini and Kenshin. He grabbed some food for himself and took a bite.
The whole room grew quiet, leaning closer to Yahiko as they waited for a reaction from the youngest one in the room.
''You're tellin' me...'' Yahiko whispered, causing everyone to lean in closer to hear him. ''That UGLY made this!?'' Kaoru and the two redheads next to him jumped back as he yelled out his question, having hurt their eardrums.
''Yea I did, Yahiko. You got a problem with that?'' Kaoru asked him as she held her sensitive ears.
''No way! You can't cook to save your life.'' Yahiko said, laughing at Kaoru when she got angry at him.
''What'd you say?!''
Rini let her eyes shift from Kaoru to Yahiko as they fought, feeling a sense of dejavu coming on. The rest of dinner went on like that for some time before Kaoru b****slapped Yahiko with words and a normal conversation was established.
''Well, thanks for everything.'' Rini said as Kaoro, Yahiko and Kenshin walked her to the front of the dojo to say their farewells.
''Take care.'' Kenshin said, waving goodbye as Yahiko did the same. Their new friend returned the wave and turned around to leave.
Kaoru let out a silent breathe as she watched her new friend prepare to leave. She didn't want her to go but she supposed she couldn't keep her there forever. ''Rini.'' She said, grabbing the girl's attention. ''I want to see you tomorrow. If that's alright... You can show me how to wash my kimono, like you said before.''
''That's sounds nice.'' Rini said, accepting the offer.
''Great. I don't have to work tomorrow so I'll come see you around noon. Just tell me where your house is and I'll find you.'' Kaoru said, ecstatic that she can finally fix her ruined kimono and have some girl time for once. She had Tae and Megumi as girl friends too but they had to work all the time so she didn't get to see them much.
''Oh uh...'' Rini touched the side of the door to the dojo. ''That would be kind of difficult seeing as I don't know where I'm staying tonight. So I'll just come here.''
''Huh?'' Kaoru asked, blinking.
''Whataya mean? Are you some kind of bum off the street or somethin'?'' Yahiko asked, folding his arms behind his head.
Rini shook her head in response. ''No. I just came into town yesterday to be completely honest.''
''So you're a wanderer, Miss Rini?'' Kenshin asked, eyes wide.
''No.'' Rini smiled. ''I just came here looking for someone, that's all. I haven't found somewhere permanent to stay while I'm looking yet.''
Kaoru was silent as her friends questioned Rini further, a plan forming together in her mind.
''So you just slept out on the street last night?'' Yahiko asked, frowning.
''No. I stayed with an elderly couple across town. They were nice enough to let me stay. But I'm going to try and find somewhere else tonight because I wouldn't want to trouble them too much. Don't worry, I'll figure something out...what?'' Rini said, blinking at Kaoru when said girl walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
''Miss Rini. I have decided that you can stay at our dojo until you find your friend.'' Kaoru said, smiling at the redheaded girl.
''But we don't have any extra rooms.'' Kenshin whispered to Yahiko.
''Yea I know.''
''Can it!'' Kaoru yelled at them, her face resembling a tiger.
''Oh I couldn't do that to you. You've done so much already.'' Rini said, unsure. ''And besides, you don't really know me.''
Kaoru shrugged. ''I didn't know Kenshin when I first let him stay here and besides, just call this payback for punching you in the face this morning.''
Kenshin and Yahiko gaped. ''What?''
''I said stuff it!'' Kaoru yelled at them and they quickly shut up.
''But Kaoru...'' Rini started.
''Don't you 'But Kaoru..' me. I said you can stay here so take it.'' Kaoru said, putting a hand on her hip and raising a finger.
''But you don't understand.'' Rini said firmly.
''What's there to understand?''
''I'm not traveling alone.'' The older girl said, frowning.
Kaoru let her hand drop and she blinked. ''Who's traveling with you?''
''Cherry.'' That was the only explanation Rini gave.
The three boarders of the Kamiya Dojo found that name to be quite odd but Kaoru just shrugged it off. ''Can we meet this Cherry?'' She asked. As much as she wanted Rini to stay with them, she didn't want some weird person or some dangerous guy staying at her house...Kenshin didn't count.
The redheaded girl was silent for a moment before she opened the door to the dojo and stepped outside. ''I'll be right back.'' She said and left to go get her traveling companion.
''Cherry? Who names somebody Cherry?'' Yahiko asked as the three of them formed a group huddle, whispering.
''Maybe it's a family name, that it is.''
''Yea or maybe it's stupid.''
''Stop being so disrespectful, Yahiko.''
''I'm just saying that it's a dumb name.''
''You face is a dumb name. Stop being rude.''
''Now now, you two. Let's just calm down.''
As Kenshin was trying to stop the inevitable argument from happening, footsteps could be heard outside. All three tiptoed to the door and looked outside. Along with the footsteps, they heard something else...
''Is that?'' Yahiko whispered.
''It couldn't be.'' Kaoru said in disbelief.
''It is.'' Kenshin said, finally seeing who Cherry was.
''This...is Cherry.'' Rini said, patting her horse's neck proudly. She was a big black horse with white hair around her hooves and a white splotch birthmark in the middle of her forehead.
''Cherry is...a horse?'' Kenshin and Yahiko asked together, anime sweatdropping as Kaoru went over to her.
''She's beautiful.'' The blackette said in awe and hesitantly pet the horse's nose.
Cherry shook her head from side to side and whinnied, causing Rini to smile. ''She likes you.''
Kaoru giggled and ran her hand through the horse's mane. ''Well good because I wouldn't want someone who doesn't like me staying at my house.''
''Does this mean you don't mind?'' Rini asked.
Kaoru smiled. ''As long as she doesn't ruin my house, you both are welcome to stay.''
Rini smiled back at her. ''Thank you Kaoru. I really appreciate this.''
''Don't mention it. Now let's get you settled in. Kenshin! Yahiko! Come bring Rini's things inside.'' Kaoru said, gesturing to the bags and giant box tied to Cherry's saddle.
''Why me? Make Kenshin do it.'' Yahiko complained, not really wanting to preform physical labor just after he ate.
''Eh?'' Said Kenshin asked.
''Because I said so. Now hop to it, freeloader!''
Rini giggled at Kaoru's antics as Yahiko and Kenshin helped her move her things off of Cherry. The girls led the horse into the courtyard while the boys were left with the task of bringing their new friend's things inside.
''How much stuff does she have?'' Yahiko asked as his legs quivered while he carried Rini's things inside.
''It seems she planned on looking for her friend for a long while, that she did.'' Kenshin said as he put his own bags down in Kaoru's room, where their new room mate was going to stay for the time being.
''I'm gonna go get the last of it.'' Yahiko said, rubbing his back as he left to get the rest of Rini's things.
''All right.'' Kenshin said as he tried to bring some order to this pile of things. He went to move the gigantic box first but stopped when he heard what was inside bang against the walls wooden walls of the holding unit.
'A sword?' Kenshin thought to himself, his eyes growing serious. He moved the box again and heard the same noise, confirming his first thoughts. He looked behind him out to the courtyard, where the girls were settling Cherry in and talking excitedly. His eyes swept over Rini's form and he frowned. Why would a girl like her carry a sword around?
Hey guys! Thanks so much for reading this! I actually started writing this a long time ago and am just now getting around to posting it. So I hope you like it! This is my first time writing for this series so I hope you enjoyed it! Most of this will not be in Rini's point of view(at least at the beginning), but I'll skip around so you're not entirely in the dark. I wanted to write this kind so it flowed like an episode out of the anime and I hope that I accomplished just that!
Before I leave I just wanna say one more thing: Kenshin and Rini are NOT related. I just wanted to throw that out there for anyone who is confused. They just have similar hair colors, that's all. Well again, I hope you enjoyed and please leave a review if you enjoyed! Love you! Ja~!

Random Short :
''Miss Kaoru?''
''Hmmm?'' Said girl asked as she ran her fingers through Cherry's soft mane.
''You do realize... that your kimono was see through when you ran through town right?'' Rini asked, not sure how to put it.
''What?'' Kaoru asked quickly and looked down. ''Oh my...'' Her face turned into one of despair and embarrassment when she realized that her kimono was white and when it was wet earlier that she ran through town and everyone could see...
''Damnit!''
