Chapter 8:
A week had passed and the whole Hajime family was going to Jamaica. Everyone was busy once more preparing his or her things. They were all leaving in two hours. Each one was stressed.
Well, at least one is not that stressed anymore, unlike the last time.
"There! All packed up. Now let's see." Her eyes looked around looking for something. "AHA! There it is!"
As she found the thing that she was looking for, she took her bag and headed out the room.
Once she got out, she saw the three guys hanging around the balcony of the stairs. Yahiko was, as usual, playing with his Game boy. Sano was humming along with the music in his Discman. And Kenshin, well, He was in a sort of trance. He was against the railing, looking down at the people fussing over everything.
'Why fuss? They're going to die someday.'
"All right. Guys, are you ready yet?" Wazu hollered.
"Yes, grandpa. We're ready." Kaoru answered back.
"Come down then. We need to get going."
"We're coming. C'mon guys. Let's go."
Kaoru started going down the stairs when the three started moving from their spots.
Kenshin followed Kaoru down, trying to keep an eye on her. Wouldn't want to lose her now, would we?
When they came down, they were instantly pushed toward the door. Outside, an annoyed Wazu greeted them.
"What took you so long?"
"We're sorry grandpa."
"It's alright, Yahiko. You don't need to worry. You should actually be happy."
After saying that statement, Wazu turned his back to them and boarded the limousine while the four did the same. The trip to the airport wasn't very long. In fact, it was just a good twenty minutes or so.
As they got to the airport, men in black tuxedos greeted them. They opened the doors wide open as Wazu stepped out. Wazu helped Meiyo out and the others got out as well.
"Thank you. Where is Katsura?" Wazu asked one of the men.
"Katsura-sama is waiting for you inside, sir."
"Thank you."
Wazu then went inside the airport while the others followed. Katsura, who was waiting for their arrival, greeted them.
"Konnichiwa, Wazu-sama."
"Ah, konnichiwa, Katsura-san. Is everything ready?"
"Yes, sir. Everything is how you ordered."
"Very well."
While both men were talking, the people behind Wazu were utterly confused.
'Isn't that daddy's associate? Then why is he here and why does he call grandpa 'Wazu-sama?'
As Kaoru thought about these thoughts, her father was having a hard time comprehending everything as well.
'Katsura? What is he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be back in Japan?'
Sano and Yahiko looked at Katsura dumbfounded. They were wondering 'What the hell is he doing here?'
As for Kenshin, he was looking at Katsura rather fiercely. He wasn't sure if he could trust this one or not. Apparently, he had no choice. In his mission, he could not trust anyone. Even Kaoru.
Meiyo and Keiko just smiled at Katsura with no questions asked.
Wazu started to walk further into the airport. While the others still stood there, staring.
He looked back at the group. Wazu looked back at them with a very annoyed look.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get in!"
The whole group followed Wazu inside of the airport.
As they got inside, men in black suites followed them behind. Kaoru felt a little awkward and skidded a little closer to Kenshin who was beside her. Kenshin saw this and smirked inwardly.
'This is too easy.'
The group kept walking until they came near a jet plane.
"Hey, cool! Grandpa owns this?" Yahiko asked eagerly.
Wazu smiled at his grandson's eagerness.
"Yes, Yahiko. I own this jet plane."
"Are we going to ride this thing to Jamaica?"
"Yes."
"And let me guess," Kaoru said sarcastically. "You are going to assign us partners to sit with during the ride?"
Wazu just smiled widely at Kaoru as if saying, You-got-it. Kaoru groaned at this.
"And I am going to be stuck with..."
Wazu's smile only widened which made Kaoru groan. She went towards Kenshin, who was deep in thought and was surprised by her sudden action, took his hand in hers and pulled him inside the jet.
"Come on, Kenshin. We'll be having a long ride."
"Oro?"
Once on the plane, Kaoru was silent.
She didn't laugh...
she didn't smile...
Heck! She didn't even bug Kenshin...
And Kenshin noticed this. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye then went back to the book he was reading. But Kaoru still didn't move. Kenshin closed his book and sighed. He then turned to the girl beside him and sighed yet again.
Then...
without warning...
Kaoru...
blushed.
Kenshin looked at her and found her staring at him.
"What's the matter?"
Kaoru kept silent. Kenshin sighed and went to sleep. He then felt her eyes on him and opened his own.
"What?!"
Kaoru still kept mute.
Kenshin sighed and ran his fingers through his fiery red hair that was bound in a high ponytail.
"Do you need anything? Or tell me anything? What?"
Kaoru froze a little and looked back up at him innocently.
She then whispered in his ear but Kenshin couldn't make it out.
"What?"
Kaoru whispered again but still, Kenshin couldn't make it out.
"What?"
Kaoru pointed down and Kenshin slowly looked down. The red haired bodyguard suddenly bolted towards the restroom, blushing. Leaving a blushing Kaoru looking out of the window.
Dreamaker: I am so sorry for not updating sooner. I had a horrible case of writers block. Really sorry. I know Kaoru may be a little childish here but I couldn't resist. And the thing that Kaoru pointed down at I'm thinking you guys know what it is already, right?
Anyway, Hope the chapter didn't suck. The chapter may not contain much but I'm trying here okay? I'll try to add in next time and try to update sooner.
R&R!
