The beach

This is ch 9.

------------------------------------------

After breakfast, they went back on the road for there final trip to the beach. Sano was screaming like a girl when he spotted the view of the beach. "Oh, my God! I can't believe it! Were here!"

Kaoru just laughed.

A soon as Kenshin stopped the car, Sano ran out as fast as he could stripping off his shoes and shirt and splashing all over in the water. Kenshin said, "If I didn't know him, I' say he was acting like a two year old child looking at the water for the first time."

Kaoru giggled, "Come on, let's go find a spot to sit at.", as she rescued Sano's belongings.

--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Enishi had just been waiting patiently outside Kaoru's house. She hadn't come out at all for her morning jog. Kenshin's car was gone though, and he got here at seven. Kaoru's house was dark. 'Too dark. Where did she go? Most likely with Kenshin. Damn it! They left before I got here! They better not have gone to a hotel!' He then drove off in a bad mood knowing that his day was ruined.

-------------------------------------------------------

(Back to the beach!)

Kaoru found a small table with shade. As soon as they settled down, she stripped down torturing Kenshin then ran towards Sano laughing.

Kenshin not wanting to feel left out ran after her pulling off his shirt. He lunged for her causing her to yelp.

Kaoru yelped, "Agh!", while giggling.

Kenshin had a firm hold now and pulled her with him into the water. They both fell laughing uncontrolably.

"Ugh! Guys! I'm still here!", groaned Sano as if he were in pain.

Kaoru splashed Sano's face saying, "Shut up! Sano!"

Sano gurgled at the incoming water, then splashed her back. This went on for some time before Kenshin splashed them both. Kaoru and Sano were shocked. They then looked at each other then back at Kenshin, then back at each other and grinned mischieviously. They both attacked Kenshin using full force.

Kenshin felt water surround his face as he struggled to recover from the blows. Finally he said, "That's it! This means war!" Kenshin then pushed Sano under water then went after Kaoru.

Kaoru had already moved several feet away an was making her way to the shore. As soon as she was able to run she sprinted away.

"Oh, no you don't!", yelled Kenshin as he went after her.

Kaoru yelped and ran everywhere. As soon as Kenshin was close enough, she would dodge him running this way and that way. Suddenly out of no where, Kenshin had ran in front of her catching her by suprise. Kaoru shrieked, "Oh, my GOD!" She tried to move but he had already grabbed her by the waist laughing.

Kenshin then tripped and found himself on top of her on the sand. They both stared at each other for what seemed like forever. Then they heard a click. They both looked up to quickly to find Sano holding a camera grinning wildly, "Blackmail!", he screamed.

"Sano!", Kenshin and Kaoru both shrieked. They got up and started to chase after Sano. Kenshin pinned him down while Kaoru set aside the camera. Kaoru the took a lot of sand and burried Sano into the ground. Kenshin helped her as soon as Sano couldn't move anymore. Kaoru then shaped a female body over Sano's in the form of a swimsuit.

Sano was crimson red yelling, "What are you doing?! Stop that! I won't Blackmail You! I promise!"

Kaoru and Kenshin took a step back and took several snap shot's.

"Okay Kenshin, could you take a picture of me and Sano together?"

"Sure.", chuckled Kenshin.

Kaoru then lay down next to Sano grinning and playing with his hair. When Kenshin took the picture, he then smirked and said, "My turn!"

Kaoru laughed as they traded places. When Kaoru clicked the camera, Kenshin had his arm around Sano's head and had his hand on Sano's womanly chest. Kaoru was laughing so hard she started to crying.

"This ain't funny anymore!", whined Sano.

Kenshin was still next to Sano saying passionatly, "This was never funny."

Kaoru then fell over laughing hysterically as Kenshin layed his head next to Sano. Kaoru then composed herself and seductively slinked herself next to Sano. "You know we both love you!"

Kenshin then smiled. "Yeah."

Kaoru slowly lifted the camera above their heads. Before the camera snapped, both Kenshin and Kaoru kissed one side of Sano's cheek.

"That's it! Both of ya'll are gonna get it now!"

Suddenly the sand started shifting underneath them. Kaoru and Kenshin both grabbed each other along with the camera and ran towards the table. They hid the camera in Kenshin's bag and ran into the water.

"Where is he?" Kaoru whispered in Kenshin's ear.

"Right here." Sano whispered back into her other ear.

Kaoru shrieked and hugged Kenshin tightly. Sano then dunked Kenshin and Kaoru while both were laughing and gasping for air when they came out of the water. Sano stood there watching them while chuckling himself. "Hey I don't know about you guys but I'm getting hungry."

"Yeah, why don't we go ahead and eat lunch." Kenshin said.

As soon as he said this, Sano was already halfway towards the shore. Kenshin and Kaoru were soon racing each other to get there second by pushing the other one back.

"Kenshin back off!"

"No way Kaoru."

"Haven't you heard of ladies first?"

"I didn't think you were a lady!"

"Oh that's right your still a little boy!"

"I resent that!"

"Well I don't!" Kaoru said as she beat him by a millisecond.

"Whatever." Kenshin said in defeat.

Sano was already eating. He had with him four sandwiches, a Dr. Pepper, Coke, and Sprite, and a bag of potato chips. Kenshin had two sandwiches, a Root Beer, and Water, and a bag of Doritos. Kaoru had a sandwich, a water, and a small bag of cheetos. They ate in silence enjoying their meal.

Suddenly Sano ears perked up when he heard a familiar jingle pulling into his hearing range. He quickly got up to find his wallet and ran off shouting, "Ice Cream Man! Ice Cream Man! ICE CREAM MAN! I'M COMING!"

Kaoru and Kenshin glanced at each other, then a Sano and then each other again and busted out laughing. Kaoru looked at Kenshin while he was distracted by Sano. She took in his red locks and handsome features. The shape of his body and how it shined. " Wow! His body's great! He's even cuter when he's wet!" Then Kenshin's eyes turned towards her. Her heart skipped a beat and then her face started to shade pink. She quickly looked away.

Kenshin wasn't sure but he had a feeling he was being watched. He quickly looked at Kaoru's eyes before she turned away with a hint of pink on her cheeks. "I was right. She was staring at me." He took his chance to look at her. She looked cuter than usual with her body wet that bathing suit. The bathing suit fit her just right hugging her curves perfectly. Indecent thoughts drifted into his mind and he started cursing himself. 'How dare you think of Koishii like that!

Meanwhile Sano had gotten three snow cones from the ice cream man. One jumbo sized flavored coconut for him, and two cherries that were medium sized for his friends. When he distributed them to his friends, Kaoru wanted to walk on the beach. So, eating her cone, she got up and started to walk on the shoreline. Kenshin and Sano immediately followed walking along side.

For some reason, Kenshin noticed that there were few girls on the beach and a whole lot of guys. As soon as they saw Kaoru, it was if they couldn't keep their eyes off of her. Kenshin got jealous and quickly held her hand. He gave Sano a warning look and Sano quickly looped his arm around Kaoru's.

Kaoru was surprised at how much they cared for her. She really didn't seem to notice the commotion going on around her. She then realized how stiff Kenshin was and before she could ask, someone's voice suddenly purred into her ear. "Hello sunshine, I'm Akira."

She jumped up and quickly let go of Sano, pinning herself into Kenshin's chest. Kenshin coldly responded, "Leave her alone."

Kaoru looked up at Kenshin's eyes and was surprised to find them death threatening yellow. A chill went through her and made her shudder, causing Kenshin to remove his eyes from Akira. When he looked at her though, his eyes changed back to a mesmerizing purple. He then gave her a reassuring smile. She then glanced toward Akira and noticed that he wasn't as ugly as she thought he would be. He was rather good looking with the exception of his eyes hungrily wanting her body. She felt suddenly uneasy. To prove she was not available, she pulled Kenshin's body closer to hers and lustfully began to kiss him. Kenshin responded immediately. After several seconds had gone by, she forcefully broke the kiss and coldly replied, "Sorry not interested." She then grabbed Kenshin's had and looped her arm back into Sanos and continued walking while eating her snow cone.

Kenshin was barely recovering, from there sweet lustful kiss. His breathing was hard but so was her's. It was good to know that you weren't the only one affected. He wanted to continue, but then there was Sano. "I'll do it again later.",he said unaware he said it outloud.

"You'll do what later?", asked Sano and Kaoru in unison.

"Oh..um..nothing. Nevermind.", replied Kenshin as his arm to scratch the back of his neck.

"Whatever.", said Sano while Kaoru just nodded.

Kaoru slyly said, "You know, Kenshin Akira was a looker."while she nugged Kenshin's shoulder.

Kenshin smirked, "I wouldn't know."

Kaoru giggled, "True, your not gay."

Sano started to laugh, "You guys are weird!"

"Maybe so but not as weird as you yah weirdo!", giggled Kaoru again. She suddenly had an idea, "How about we build a sandcastle before we go back?"

"Okay, Jou-chan as long as I'm not buried in it, I'm good!", chuckled Sano with a wink.

She smiled and then sank onto to sand. Kenshin took it upon himself to provide the water while Sano sat across from Kaoru. They soon got lost in the sandcastle making that time flew by. Sano was busy on the wall, Kaoru was busy on the doorways and tiny decorations, while Kenshin continued to bring them water. It finally was complete and they stood back to admire there creation.

"Beautiful.", smiled Kaoru.

"Let me get the camera.", said Kenshin as he dashed off to where there bags were.

As Kenshin left, Sano took the chance to interrogate Kaoru. He casually asked her, "Did you like seeing Kenshin wet?"

Kaoru blushed, "Actually it was just like seeing him sweaty, only he's not breathing hard."

"I bet he liked seeing you wet. Do ya want me to ask him?", he smirked.

"NO! SANO! Don't ask Him! I don't want to know what he thinks of me being WET!", shrieked Kaoru as she blushed madly a crimson color.

"Are you talking about me?", whispered Kenshin into Koishii's ear.

Kaoru just shook her head as she blushed even more, recognizing it was Kenshin's voice and not Sano's anymore.

Kenshin chuckled and whispered again, "You were talking about me weren't you?"

Kaoru just blushed and replied, "I don't know what your talking about?", while she crossed her arms and avoided Kenshin's eyes.

Kenshin than wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered into her ear once again saying, "You looked very sexy wet!"

"And so did you.", Kaoru whispered back. She almost gasped as she took in what he said.

"Guy's! Still here.", groaned Sano as he shook his head.

Kenshin just glared at Sano when spoke up, "Let's take the picture so that we can go eat out."

"Finally food!", exaggerated Sano as he fell upon his knee's and announced it to the heavens.

They quickly took the picture and made there way back to there picnic area. As soon as they made it, they cleaned up there tables and grabbed there belongings away. Then they took there clothes and went to the pavilion. Kaoru was still being looked at but she ignored it. Kenshin was the first to out, he wore a black rock T-shirt and faded blue jeans. Kaoru then came out wearing a blue rock T-shirt and faded blue jeans as well. Kenshin then smiled, "Hey, we match."

"We do.", squeaked Kaoru as they waited for Sano.

Sano came out with a black T-shirt with the slogan in red letters that said, 'Bad To The BONE!' He casually asked, "So, what are we eating?" Kenshin didn't answer as they went to his car.

"Where would you like to eat at Koishii?", asked Kenshin as he started the car.

"Aww! How come she gets to choose?", groaned Sano in protest.

"Because she's the reason we even came to the beach.", replied Kenshin simply as he looked in Kaoru's direction.

"That's so sweet Kenshin.", said Kaoru sweetly, as she looked back at him and grabbing his hand. This time she was in the front and Sano was in the back.

Kenshin drove but did not let go of her hand.

"How about a restaurant that fits my budget?", asked Kaoru with a weak smile.

"No way Koishii, your not paying, I am.", replied Kenshin sternly.

"And why NOT?!", said Kaoru stubbornly.

"Because this day was meant to be between you and me. This was our date until Sano decided to chaperone. I paid for you at Mc Danolds and I'm still going to pay for it."

"Fine.", pouted Kaoru. Suddenly she spotted Pizza Hut. "Hey, do you know what I've been craving? Pizza!", she squeaked.

"Pizza Hut it is then.", smiled Kenshin as he saw Pizza Hut ahead of him.

"It's About TIME!", yelled Sano in anticipation.

Kaoru was getting out, when Kenshin rushed to her door and opened it for her. She hadn't been expecting that. She smiled warmly and took his outstretched hand.

"Shall we eat?", asked Kenshin as he felt her small hand in his own.

"Of course.", replied Kaoru meekly.

"Come ON! Slow POKES!", shrieked Sano from the doorway. "I thought we were eating PIZZA!"

"Were coming.", snarled Kaoru.

Kenshin only gulped, his Koishii could be scary sometimes.

Kaoru heard Kenshin gulp and she smirked at him, "Are you scared of me?"

"A little."whispered Kenshin to himself.

"Good! That's how it's supposed to be.", she smirked.

Kenshin jumped in front of her saying slyly, "Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?"

Kaoru gulped at his come back.

"Good! That's how it's supposed to be." This time it was his turn to see her squirm. He smirked at her and then tenderly kissed her cheek. He took her hand and brought her inside the restaurant.

Kaoru was stunned as she followed him inside.

Sano was waiting inside patiently tapping his foot on the floor. He saw the couple come in. Then he noticed that Jou-chan's looked dazed. He asked Kenshin, "What happened to Jou-chan?"

"She's fine. She just stunned at the moment.", replied Kenshin with a smirk.

"I'm not stunned!", blushed Kaoru.

"Your not? Then why are you looking dazed?", smirked Sano.

"I'm NOT!", shrieked Kaoru shaking her head. "He just caught me off guard."

"Right.", said Sano.

"Let's just ORDER!", she growled, really annoyed that Sano didn't have a clue.

Kenshin was stunned again at how angry his koishii could get. Kaoru, seeing this, then smirked, "So, who's the one dazed and confused now?"

Sano just looked at the two then caught on. "Oh I get it now. Let me guess, Kaoru got angry at me and scared you. Then you scared her back.", he said as he looked at Kenshin.

The couple just shrugged at him. Suddenly the waiter came by, "What would you like to drink?"

"Oh, I would like a COKE!", said Sano as he scanned the menu.

"I want a Pepsi.", said Kenshin and Kaoru in unison. They looked at each other and smiled while the waiter left them.

A few minutes later the waiter brought them there drinks and straws then asked them, "What would you like to order?"

"Is Pepperoni fine with yah two?", asked Kenshin to his friend and girlfriend.

"Sure.", they replied.

"Okay, We would like one no two large pepperoni hand tossed pizza's.", said Kenshin confidently to the waiter.

The waiter wrote it down and left them.

Sano took out his phone and dialed Megumi's number.

Kaoru glared and said, "Why would you want to talk to your girlfriend at this time?"

"Maybe, I just remembered her.", replied Sano casually.

Kenshin sputtered on his pepsi before replying, "Your supposed to think about your girlfriend all the time and call her late at night just to annoy her. Not wait a few day's then call her up."

"Is that what your planning to do to me?", hissed Kaoru in Kenshin's direction.

"Now, why would I do that Koishii when I can just jump across your window?", replied Kenshin with a smirk.

"You know what, for that I'm locking them! Now what? You don't even have my number, in fact you never asked for it! So there is no way for you to contact me.", she said as she childishly stuck out her tongue at him.

"That's easy, I can always get it from Sano."

"Doesn't mean I'm gonna answer."

"You'd better answer, or I'll knock on your door repeatedly like a maniac."

"I can always slip out the back door."

"Not if I run back there and see if your there."

"Then I can just get Hiko!"

"You wouldn't."

"I would."

"Guy's your supposed to be nagging on me, not on each other.", groaned Sano. He just watched them argue and it was getting old fast. "You know what. I'm just going to talk to Megumi outside."

"Thanks a lot Kenshin, you scared him off."

"Me, you're the one who made the rude comment."

"Maybe so, but you provoked me."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Must you always have the last word?"

"Must you try to have the last word?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because, I'm the man."

"Doesn't mean you're my man."

"Who say's I'm not your man? I kiss, hug, nuzzle you and even sneak into your room at night."

"That doesn't matter, you could easily pass off as my secret lover."

"Then who may I ask is your true lover?"

"No one at the moment. But that can change."

"Yeah right. You like me too much."

"For right now. I'll only know the name of my true love if and only if he sweeps me off my feet and asks me to marry him.", sighed Kaoru lovingly out into space.

"And what if it happens to be me?"

"Then it happens to be you if you are able to handle me still a few years from now."

"I'm always able to handle you."

"So you say."

Just then Sano pops up and somehow so does the pizza. Kenshin and Kaoru were glaring at each other when Sano came. "I see you are still nagging."

"Yep and I'm winning.", smirked Kaoru.

"Figures, you always know how to win a fight with words.", chuckled Sano.

When the pizza arrived, Kaoru's eyes lit up and she forgot all about Kenshin. Kenshin was in utter shock and amazement. He would have to remember that food made her happy and forgetful of the problems they went through. Once the meal was done, Kenshin quickly paid and they all walked out together in the car. Kaoru asked, "Can we hurry home? I need to take a shower and sleep."

"I think we all do Missy.", said Sano.

"Shot Gun!", shrieked Kaoru as she reached the front seat before Sano.

"Fine.", hissed Sano under his breath.

"What was that?", asked Kaoru glaring at him.

"Nothing."groaned Sano.

"Good.", she smirked.

"Okay, do you want to listen to music?", asked Kenshin taking Kaoru's hand.

"Yeah, just not loud music."

The moment he turned on the radio was the moment Queens came on with 'We are the Champions.' Kaoru and Sano screamed almost swerving Kenshin on the road. They started singing really loud, getting way into the music. Kaoru's voice was wonderful, but Sano's wasn't, while Kenshin's was the perfect base for Kaoru's voice. Once the song was over, Kenshin was glad. He much preferred Kaoru's singing over Sano's. Music played on and the three continued singing. Before they knew it, they arrived at Kaoru's house. They finished up singing Linkin' Park's 'Numb.'

"Man, that was fun." Sano said.

"Yep, it was. Thanks Kenshin.", smiled Kaoru as she stepped out of the car before Kenshin could.

Kenshin reached her just in time to close her door, so he did it for her. When she was about to get all her stuff from the back, he quickly grabbed it for her.

"It's okay Kenshin, I got it."

"It's alright Koishii, I'll do it for you."

Kaoru didn't even have time to blush, when Sano cooed, "Isn't that sweet."

Kaoru didn't have time to answer either, Kenshin cut her off, "Shut up, Sano."

"Whatever, can you just give me the keys Jou-chan so I can unlock the door.", Sano persisted.

"Sure, but there in my pocket. I don't think you want to grab them.", she smirked.

"I would if you handed them to me.", Sano replied.

"That's the thing, I don't want to.", she laughed.

"Which pocket is it in?", asked Kenshin innocently.

"My right one. Why?"

Kenshin slowly corned her by his car his hands full with her belongings. Kaoru realizing what Kenshin planned gasps, "Oh no you don't!", as she crawled between his legs and made a dash for the door. She thrust the key in and fell flat on her face when it opened. She then made a mad dash to her room, hoping Sano didn't see that. She was about to lock her bedroom door, when it suddenly swung open. She squealed and ran into her bathroom. Her pursuer followed her so she hid lying in the bathtub. She heard a chuckle then the curtains swung open and Kenshin stood before her with a mischievous look on his face. "What?!", she asked innocently. "I was about to take my bath, before you rudely interrupted." She slowly put herself in a sitting position as she wrapped her arms around her legs. "What are you doing in my Bathroom? Shouldn't you be bathing with Sano? Ewww! Mental Image! Nevermind!"

Kenshin finally spoke up, "I would never bathe with that barbarian. To be honest, I would rather bathe with you."

"Right."

"Honestly I would.", said Kenshin lustfully picking her up.

"That doesn't mean I would."

"BUT, it doesn't mean that you wouldn't."

"Well, I wouldn't!", huffed Kaoru. "If you will excuse me I'd like to be set free now.", she said trying to get out of his strong grasp on her.

"Are you sure you wouldn't?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Were not even married."

"That can be arranged koishii."

Sano appeared inside the room with them, causing Kaoru to shriek at his unexpected entrance. "Sano! How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough.", he smirked. Then he pulls Kenshin out of Kaoru's reach provocatively saying, "Come on lover boy! Let's bathe together."

Kenshin mouthed to Kaoru before he left saying, "Help me."

Kaoru grinned and yelled, "You asked for it!" She followed them to make sure they left her room then she locked the door, made sure all the windows were locked and the curtains closed. With that she set off to take a shower, bringing in her clothes just in case he found a way in. No way was she going to let that pervert see her body again. 'Wait, does he expect to marry me in the future?'

Kenshin meanwhile had been warding off Sano. He had gotten out of his grasp several times, until Sano tackled him down, yelling, "But Kaoru would want you to bathe with me!"

"I don't want to! I'd rather be with Kaoru!"

"Awww! Come on just this once! Let's see how small your package is? Is it good enough for Kaoru?", smirked Sano.

That was all it took for Kenshin and he was out the door on his way home. He would see Koishii tonight, even if he had to brake in to do it. After taking his own shower her glanced over at Kaoru's windows and they were locked and closed off. 'She's smart!" He made sure he was presentable then he hopped across the balcony to her's. Before he could even knock the windows flew open.

Kaoru had just taken her shower when she heard a soft thump on her balcony. Knowing that it was Kenshin she quickly went out into the hallway and knocked on Sano's door. When Sano opened his door, she realized he had also just taken his shower as well.

"Sano, you want to get Kenshin?"

"Yeah."

"Just open my window he'll be there, I'll stay in this room. Till your done playing with him."

"Sweet."

Kaoru quickly crawled into his bed while Sano left for her room. When Sano entered she quietly listened as to what reaction Kenshin would get.

Sano knew that Kaoru didn't want Kenshin in her bed, she was too modest for that, and she also wanted Kenshin to realize that she wasn't the kinky type of girl, and he wouldn't get any for a long time. Who knew, it might not even be till they were married. Sano could easily see that into there future, and if Kenshin was going to be sleeping in her bed, so was he to make sure nothing happened, it was going to be fun messing with Kenshin. When he heard footsteps coming towards the window, he quickly rushed to it and unveiled the curtains.

Kenshin was stunned to see Sano, instead of Kaoru waiting for him. "Sano?", he shrieked in horror.

"Yes, lover boy? I've been waiting for you. What took you so long?", Sano provactively asked leaning onto the window. He put his hand up to the glass against Kenshins face, and tenderly rubbed the glass.

Kenshin felt a shiver, "Where's Kaoru?"

"In my bed."

"What!"

"Yeah, she's sleeping in my bed so that you and me can get intimate in her bed."

"ORO?"

"Don't be like that. Come in.", said Sano as he opened the sliding door and grasped Kenshin's shirt.

"Let Go!"

"No way Lover boy!", smirked Sano.

Kenshin didn't reply just looked at the door leading into the hallway and ran as fast as he could. He quickly opened Sano's bedroom door and slammed the door shut. He then put all these obstacles in doorway so Sano couldn't get in. Once he did that he let out a deep breath.

Kaoru just looked at what he was doing, as soon as he took that deep breath she could no longer contain her giggles. She busted out laughing with tears running down her face. She laughed so hard she laid back down on the bed rolling around. When she was done, she quickly looked at Kenshin and slowly said, "So, did you and Sano have a good time?", then she busted out laughing again.

Kenshin was once again in shock. He couldn't believe his Koishii was laughing at him. She looked so cute rolling around on the bed laughing. It looked as if she would get a heart attack from it but that didn't happen. After she asked that question he noticed Sano coming through the window, then he quickly threw everything blocking the doorway against the wall. He ran straight through, without looking back, he then hid in another room. He heard Kaoru down the hall saying, "Sano, you really shouldn't pick on him."

"But it's so fun.", Sano chuckled innocently. Kaoru then said, "Whatever. I'm going to bed, if you want you can check later to see if he's out of his hiding place and into my room." No sound came from Sano, just the closing of two doors. Feeling the coast was clear, he quietly tip toed into the hallway to Koishii's room, and quietly closed the door without a sound. As it turned out Kaoru was in the bathroom brushing her teeth and singing to herself. Kenshin decided to hide in the closet, when she came out of the bathroom she went to the front of her mirror, brushing her hair, and continuing to sing to herself. When she was done she closed her eyes did a few twirls and landed softly on her bed. She then pulled the covers over her while her eyes remained shut. Kenshin slowly stepped out of hiding, cautiously tip toed to her bed, than got in next to her.

After talking with Sano, she went back to her room knowing full well that Kenshin would show up, she just didn't know when. Not wanting to find out when, she went through her normal routine in going to bed. When she was done, she weightlessly fell onto the bed, and waited for Kenshin. Sure enough as soon as she had the covers over her, he showed up right behind her under the covers.

Apparently wanting to make himself known, he slowly wrapped his arms around Kaoru's waist and pulled her to him.

Kaoru was startled. She slowly turned to face him, but his eyes were closed. She slowly turned back away from him and let out a deep sigh of relief. Then out of the blue Kenshin said, "You smell good." She almost laughed, "It didn't dawn on me that you would notice."

"I notice Koishii, I notice everything about you."

"So, what have you observed?"

"Well, for one you smell good."

"We know that already. Anything else?"

"You talk in your sleep."

"What did I say?"

"A lot of things.", gulped Kenshin.

"What kind of things?"

"It was all Sano's fault."

"How is it his fault?"

"He asked questions."

"What questions!"

Kenshin grabbed her tighter before saying, "Personal questions, about your feelings towards me."

Kaoru stiffens and tries to pull away, but Kenshin won't let her move.

"Don't be mad."

"I'm not mad. I'm FURIOUS!", hissed Kaoru.

"Well what if I tell you what you said, then I tell you what I think about you?"

"Okay, as long as I know what I said, I'm fine."

Kenshin slowly begins to tell her. Then when he was finished, he then said, "Now this is what I think. I like the nickname KenKen. I have to admit I felt you up, in the embrace in front of Enishi and many more times afterwards, and I don't regret it. You may like my chest, but I like your chest too. Oh, and by the way our first kiss was incredible, I enjoy our kisses very much."

Koaru blushed madly while her hands covered up her face. Kenshin slowly turned her around, and said, "Koishii, don't be embarrassed.", he then bent his head down to kiss her. The kiss never took place, as Sano busted into the room and jumped into the bed with them. "So, Kenshin this is where you've been hiding?", he grinned.

Kenshin gave him an evil glare while Kaoru looked at him and gave him a relieved look, then a glare. She then popped him in the shoulder, and several times on the head.

"Ouch! Jou-chan, what did I do?"

"Ask questions when I was asleep."

"That's a lie! Who told you that?"

"Why would I lie to my Koishii?", Kenshin said as he pulled her back into his grasp, saving Sano from more brutal attacks.

"Traitor!"

"NO! Truthful. Thank you KenKen.", said Kaoru as she kissed his forehead, then turned around to go back to sleep.

Sano gaped. "Oooooooooooooo Kaoru…"

"Sano, go to sleep." Kaoru whispered.

Sano grunted but turned away still laying next to them and went to sleep. Kenshin was surprised but not alarmed, for he was the one holding Kaoru.

A/N: Sorry, this chapter is like really overdue. I had more guest, was unable to write, then I got grounded. My dad patrolled the computor for like three days. I finally was able to write because, he's asleep, and my sister is watching guard. We make a great team! I'm paying her fifty bucks!(NOT!) Anyways I'll type more pretty soon, this time I will not make it seem like I will be able to tomorrow, but I might! Please: R/R

Well, She does look good! You'll have to admit that!

Maybe so, but you shouldn't think of her that way! Baka Kenshin!'
