Kenshin Himura was staring at an angel. An angel that landed right in front of him.

"Oh um, sorry," his angel said. "I didn't mean to crowd you." With his hands full of beer bottles, Kenshin smirked and nodded towards her. She shot him a smile and turned back to her friends as Kenshin watched her move. She was dancing with a group of people, who if Kenshin had to guess had some dance training.

Kenshin made his way back to his table where his buddies were waiting.

"Dude, did you brew the beer yourself? What took so long?" his friend Sano yelled, grabbing his beer and chugging it down.

"Very funny, this place is packed! You get the round next time if you are unhappy with my delivery time." He shot pack sliding into the booth.

Kenshin looked at his co-worker and friend Aoshi chuckle and grab his beer. "What's with the crowd on the dance floor Himura?"

"Some people are dancing and people were watching. One of them was a gorgeous raven haired girl. Looks about 21." Aoshi raised his eyebrow in question at his friend, but said nothing.

"Dancers huh?" said Sano with a smirk. "Perhaps I should go check them out. They're flexible ya know?"

The other two rolled their eyes. Sano always had sex on the brain. "Actually, we need to leave soon," said Aoshi. "We need to start promoting the album tomorrow and we have a small concert tomorrow at Tae's."

At 30, Kenshin Himura was embarking on a brand new solo tour. He had been the lead singer in a metal band for 6 years, but now felt it was the right time to branch out and do the music he really wanted to do. Aoshi had been his longtime friend and now manager and he was doing a great job promoting his album, while Sano was Kenshin's stage manager, making sure all the lighting and the instruments were perfect at each performance. Many fans had shouted blasphemy when Kenshin announced that he would be doing a lot of acoustic and regular rock songs, but after the break up with his longtime girlfriend Tomoe three years ago, Kenshin felt the need to write and sing different music to help him get through it all.

"Come on, Ice man, just stay a little more so we can check out these dancers. Who knows maybe we can hire them for the tour!" said Sano as he made his way to the crowd.

Kenshin chuckled and followed as Aoshi sighed in defeat and joined him. Kenshin knew they should get some sleep but he know that he had to see the raven haired beauty again.

Kenshin and his friends made their way to the dance floor where he saw the smallest one in the camouflage pants run back from the dj and nodded to her friends as the dj made an announcement over the music.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real treat for you tonight. Some of Julliard's best dancers are here tonight to represent and show us what they're made of. This song is from Misao to her friends Kamatari and Karou." With that "Dirty Dancing" by the New Kids on The Block came on and the group fell into a choreographed routine with Kenshin's goddess leading the group. Kenshin was speechless.

She moved with grace. She was elegant and light, and flexible, he thought. Oro! I barely know the girl and I'm thinking such things! Baka! The trio stood there watching. Kenshin looked at Aoshi and noticed his eyes were fixed on the smallest one, while Sano was glued to the tallest one who's chest was falling out of the dress.

Suddenly, the group disbursed and the raven haired girl was dancing alone with the obviously gay man she was with. He lifted her and they spun in time with the music, until finally the girl did a no hand cartwheel into a split and the music ended. Kenshin was hard and he couldn't think. His goddess was locked in a gaze with him. Before Aoshi could stop him, Kenshin was striding over to her, without a clue as to what he was about to say.

Karou was lost. Those eyes of the sexy red head who she bumped into before had her loose her good sense. He made his way over to her and extended a hand to help her up. Pulling her to her feet, the two just stared at each other, speechless, until the handsome red head spoke, "Hello, I'm Kenshin."

"Karou, um, thank you for helping me up."

"You dance very well, Miss Karou. Did I hear the dj say you guys are from Julliard?"

"Yes, I'm a ballet dancer," Karou was aroused and didn't understand it. She never got like this with guys, but this one was something special.

"Well you dance like an angel," said the red head, causing Karou to blush. "Can I buy you a drink?"

Karou felt herself nodding as she and the sexy man known as Kenshin, feeling a strange surge in her abdomen she has never known before.

"So music huh?" said Karou. "I wish I could say I heard your former band before but I don't listen to a lot of metal."

"Well, it's not everyone cup of tea, but I'm actually going solo now and doing more acoustic rock. I'm actually having a show tomorrow, would you want to come?"

God he was gorgeous. He had fiery long red hair that was in a messy ponytail, his eyes were a piercing amethyst and he had a crisscross scar on his face. He looked like a rocker with his torn jeans and white wife-beater tee under his leather jacket. Karou wanted to take him right then and there, which shocked her as she had always been so concerned with dance that she never really dated and even then she had never had sex. There was something about this man that made her feel things she never felt before and she was excited to see where it may lead. Looking into his gorgeous eyes she said she'd love to see his show. With that contacts were exchanged and plans were made, before the red head's manager and friend came to drag him away.

Walking back to her friends Karou smiled as they looked at her with inquisitive stares.

"Karou!" shouted Misao, "Who was that? And please tell me I DID see making a date with him?"

Karou smiled. "His name is Kenshin and he may be the guy I've been waiting for."
