Chapter 1

Kaoru: Kenshin please! We really need food.

Kenshin: Kaoru-dono, this one is sorry, but he can not right now.

Kaoru: But why?

Kenshin was holding a pile of clothes in his arms and could barely stand.

Kenshin: When this one is finished with the laundry he will go into town, Kaoru-dono.

Kaoru: Oh, yeah, sorry Kenshin.

Kenshin smiled at her and she blushed.

Kenshin: That is okay Kaoru-dono.

Kenshin walked toward the water, but someone collided into him. He managed to stay standing, but the small boy that ran into him fell to the ground.

Yahiko: Oh hey Kenshin! Hey UGLY training time, I'm not late today!

Kaoru was fuming.

Kaoru: Yahiko, you inconsiderate little brat!

She ran after him with her training sword raised. Yahiko ran around Kenshin, followed by Kaoru, this time Kenshin could not stay standing.

Kenshin: ORO!!

Kaoru: Kenshin, are you okay, I'm sorry, are you okay?

Kaoru was standing over him when he opened his eyes, she looked worried. Yahiko was standing behind her a ways laughing.

Yahiko: Chasing me around, you only managed to knock your boyfriend over.

Yahiko was laughing so hard he could hardly say that. Kaoru's face went through many shades of red before she tried to get up to hit Yahiko. Kenshin grabbed her arm gently.

Kenshin: Its okay Kaoru-dono, he's just provoking you.

Kaoru's face got even redder as Kenshin smiled. Kenshin stood and held his hand out to Kaoru, who took it, getting even redder. His hand where so warm, she could feel the calluses from using the sakabato. She felt like her face would explode. Kenshin brushed the dirt from his gi.

Kaoru: I'm sorry again Kenshin.

Kenshin: It's really nothing Kaoru-dono.

He bent down to pick up the clothes and Kaoru helped.
