A GENUINE SMILE

CHAPTER ONE: A WISH GRANTED

A girl sitting on her bed was wishing frantically and earnestly to be at a different place. A wishing star passed and she wished with all her might to go to Kenshin's world. Hoshi Sakura was a perfectly normal teenage girl at the age of 19. She had long, straight black-blue hair that hung at her waist, at times in ponytail or in buns and she had piercing blue eyes and long lashes. She had a fair complexion and her height was just the height for her age. She was describe in school as a model student for she was beautiful and had very high grades. In fact, she was the smartest girl in her batch and she had a good heart, which was very rare with pretty girls. When she was in grade school, she became interested in animations and now was escaping reality by wishing herself to RK's world. After wishing, Sakura blinked many times and stopped. She just sat on her bed with her big bag full of her things. She sighed and settled back on her bed knowing that it was silly to wish to another world let alone not real. She closed her eyes and started to doze of. Suddenly, bright light surrounded her. She ignored this, thinking that it was her parents opening the light to enter her room. When the light did not disappear and the voices of her parents never came, she opened her eyes and was surprised to see that she was not in her bed. She was sitting in front of a gate and she realized that her wish came true.

            'Yes, yes, yes!' her thoughts ran triumphantly as she went to the gate that had a plaque in front of it.

            "Kamiya Dojo," she said aloud as she knocked on the gate. Suddenly, she begun to feel very, very tired and soon fainted, her long, manicured nails scratching the gate, making the occupants inside jump in surprise.

*****************

The morning started as usual in the Kamiya Dojo. Yahiko woke Kaoru up with his insults about her ugly face and horrible cooking, Kaoru wacking Yahiko-CHAN with her shinai and with Kenshin making breakfast with his usual rurouni smile.

            "Ne, Kenshin," Kaoru whined to him as he was putting the last ingredients in the pot.

            "Nani, Kaoru-dono?" he asked, as he saw Kaoru approach him and make a faint wince at the -dono. Kenshin knew of Kaoru's feelings to him but he cannot/ would not declare his feelings for her because he said he was "unworthy."

            "Can you make Yahiko stop? He's giving me a headache and my patients is slipping," Kaoru said, rubbing her temple and getting the bowls and chopsticks for breakfast.

            Kenshin smiled at her making her blush lightly. "Hai, Kaoru-dono. I'll talk to him later but it'll probably do no good."

            "I know but still, can you try? He'll have bad manners when he grows up," she smiled at him, making Kenshin feel very happy but didn't show it, keeping his face normal.

            "Hai, Kaoru-dono,"

            Kaoru sighed as she settled the tableware on the table. Kenshin might as well be her slave, like he was not, if he continues on saying "Hai, Kaoru-dono this, Kaoru-dono that". 'Mou!!! Honestly that baka is so dense. Mou!' she silently exclaimed.

            "Yahiko, breakfast is ready," Kenshin called to Yahiko who was starting to do his daily swings.

            Breakfast went as usual with Kaoru and Yahiko bickering at each other. Sano came in, this time bringing Megumi along. Megumi flirted with 'Ken-san' as usual making Kaoru raving mad and Sano quite annoyed. After breakfast, Kenshin went to do his laundry, Kaoru swept the floor, Megumi and Sano talking or insulting each other and Yahiko practicing. Suddenly, Kenshin felt a presence at the door and Sano noticed it too. They looked at each other with Kaoru, Megumi and Yahiko looking quite confused. Kenshin put his hand over his sakabatou as a knock was heard followed by a screeching sound. They all went hurriedly towards the gate and opened it and were surprised to see a girl wearing almost nothing for them, but it was a sleeveless shirt, shorts and slippers.

"Oro!"

"Well, don't just stand there. Help me put her in one of the futons," Megumi commanded.

The others carried her and her very heavy bag inside in one of the rooms while Megumi checked her temperature and her condition.

Sano was the one who was carrying the bag. Since he was strong, the weight didn't bother him much but he commented on this.

"Che, she probably fainted because of the weight of this bag."

"I wonder who she is. She is wearing strange clothes," Kaoru thought aloud.

"Yup, but such revealing clothes," Megumi said, wacking Sano who was gaping obviously.

Kaoru looked at Kenshin and saw that he too was staring but not as obvious as Sano.

Kaoru thought, 'Mou Kenshin!!! So he likes revealing clothes eh!!! Humph…I know, when she wakes up, I'll ask her if I could borrow her clothes.' She smirked. 'Demo, I wonder if he'll notice me…' she thought sadly.

Unbeknownst to her, Megumi was also thinking the same thing but it was about Sano, not Kenshin, suddenly laughing her "fox laugh."

"Ohohoho…" Kaoru and the others sweat dropped; however, Megumi stopped when her patient groaned. They realized that she was coming to.

A/N: So, is it dragging? Boring? Review and tell me!!! Soujirou will come in the next chapter!!!
