Megumi yahiko and sano go too far in insulting Kaoru's cooking this time.this causes battousaiPLS READ MY OTHER FANFIC IF U WANT TO.ITS AN INUYASHA BASED STORY.

Kaoru hummed happily as she stirred something in the kitchen.Today,she would make something nice for a change.She had been practicing every day,just this recipe and finally she had got it to taste good.It didn't look eatable but it tasted nice.After finishing she put it on the table and called everyone to eat.Megumi would be here too today and she wanted to show her that she too could cook one dish appreciably.

"Ha,I win you brat!"

"You pushed me behind so you didn't win.Besides you're a lot taller than me!"Yahiko and Sano came arguing into the kitchen about who won the daily race to the kitchen this time.Next came in Megumi.She looked happy for a reason.Too happy for Kaoru's liking.'She would not have that look unless she is going to do something I won't like-'Her thoughts were cut off as Kenshin came in and sat down at the table but not before smiling his famous rurouni smile at her.'Oh God.What if he won't like it!Then again he always complements me at the end of the meal…..just let something good happen'.

Kaoru's POV-

I sit down at the table and wait for Sano and Yahiko to sit down and stop arguing."Ahem"I said,"Do you guys mind sitting down so that we can start eating?"It did't have any effect.

"Let them take their time.At least we'll be safe from your cooking for a while tanuki"said Megumi.This caused them to stop fighting and immediately look at us.They knew there was going to be a much more worth argument available to take part in.I tried desperately to control myself from snapping back at her.Last time I almost cried due to the insults."Darn.You guys had to stop your fight now didn't you?"she said to them as they sat down too."But don't worry.I'm experienced in handling food poisoning cases too.And I'll treat you first Ken-chan".It was like something had snapped in me.That always happens when Ken-san is brought into her vocabulary.I gave back a reply that she wasn't expecting,"Oh really Megumi-san?Well if you don't want to be poisoned by my fatal cooking why are you even here?"

"Are you really that dumb Jou-chan?We all just come and eat your cooking cause we'll be wasting money if we go out to the Akabeko everyday.We just have to bear with your dirt thas' all."Sano's words for some reason hurt me a lot.For once,I didn't know what to say.

Kenshin POV-

I refrained from striking at Sano.His words were deeply insulting and I noticed Kaoru-dono's ki falter a bit even though it was radiating anger minutes ago.

"Yeah busu.I could have eaten at the Akabeko every day since I work there but I didn't want Tsubame and Tae think that I live in a low ranked cooking section."said Yahiko.

I felt Kaoru-dono's ki dim even more.Her sadness and hurt began to show clearly on her face.I was about to come to her defence when Megumi suddenly said,"See you idiot.It just saves others trouble if we eat here.No-one really cares.Not even Ken-san".That was it.I felt that familiar anger rising inside me and I knew that my eyes were going to turn amber eventually.I stood up and went to Kaoru-dono's side.I would NOT let her be insulted in this way.

Normal POV-

Every one was supred as Kenshin went to Kaoru's side silently and then spoke."That's enough,all of you."His voice became cold and full of anger not the usual warm and friendly one.It made the others nervous.They knew it wasn't a good sign."Miss Kaoru took pains to cook this meal.You may not know it but she practiced lately.Sano,you said we would be wasting money if we ate outside everyday.Did it occur to you that Miss Kaoru also pays for your comfort and offers you a place to stay in her dojo?Even though you were Zanza?"Kenshin unconsciously tightened his grip on his sword with his left hand.(A.N-LEFT hand.He's not gonna hurt anyone)Amber began leaking into his eyes.He looked at Yahiko.

"And Yahiko,did you know that you too stay at the dojo and are a student too?Did you ever think about the times Kaoru defended you because of your mistakes?"He lastly turned to Megumi with solid amber eyes and said in such a deadly voice that even Kaoru began to fear him at the moment even though he was on her side."As for you Megumi-san,you will do so to remember never to insult Kaoru with or without my presence or else I would not resist to do something you and I both will regret."He picked up Kaoru bridal style and shouted,"ALL OF YOU WILL APOLIGISE TO HER PERSONALLY!"And with that he slid open the door and went to Kaoru's room trying to regain his gentle composure and comfort the now crying Kaoru.
