Note: Kaoru and Kenshin are rencarnated so they don't know each other at the beginning of the story.

Pancakes and Hot Chocolate: KXK

It was strange how different Kaoru was from most of her friends. She would rather watch an old samurai movie than those goddamn cheesy, chick flicks. One of her favorite hobbies that her female friends detest is kendo. Her dreams that would put her within the Meiji era certainly does not help.

But one thing that her friends find weird is the preference of going to a small place called Zodiac café and ordering the same thing every time. The order, which has been called the Kaoru specialty, consists of a small serving of pancakes with a side drink of hot chocolate.

So it came as a surprise that on one summers evening, when things are finely starting to cool down from a very hot and humid day, that a young man, who looked like a foreigner with his red hair and violet eye, came in to the café, went to the north west corner and ask for the Kaoru specialty. Actuality, she didn't think he even knew that that was such a thing on the menu since his words were, "Excuse me, if it wouldn't be much trouble, would you mind getting me a hot chocolate with a small serving of pancakes? Thank you"

Karou, being slightly curious of the mans' unique appearance, decided to introduce her self to the petite young man.

"Hi, my name is Kaoru Kamiye."

"Well miss Kaoru, my name is Kenshin Himura."

Thus this encounter starts the seeds of romance between two people, but where it takes them only kami knows.
