Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin

Warnings: I will have some spelling errors in here, I appologize before hand. Oh! And in this chapter, "Himiru Suke" is mine to claim...along with Fiya and the gaurds and anyone one else that you do not recognize as being from RK. I haven't used anyone but the characters from Rk in this stories...and the people i make up myself. So lease...not stealing:(

I also appologize for my lateness. I've had a pretty exciting vacation in Pu...you don't want to know about that. Anyway, I've been away from my computer for quite a while. I've been a busy bee.

Enjoy!

From Opposite Ends Of The Earth

Ch. 14: Jealously already?

Fiya walked for what seemed to be another two hallways or so before she stopped and turned toward a classroom. Kenshin paused. This halllway is the way he saw Kaoru rush off down. "No...way...", he murmered.

"This is our health class", Fiya appointed. Kiro awkwardly stared at Tsuchi. "I didn't know they still had health in high school..." Tsuchi shrugged. They let Fiya again lead them into the classroom. The late bell hadn't yet rung so students were still talking. Most of the feminine voices stopped when Kenshin and Kiro entered.

Fiya approached the teacher. This one was quite a looker. She was tall and slim and her long blonde hair trailed down her back in waves. Her blues seemed to grab Kiro's attention. She smiled and her rosy red lips glistened from the ceiling lights. "Oh, good morning Fiya. I see you've brought some new friends with you." Fiya nodded. They are from America."

Just as she said that, the class began to silence (give or take a few students). Kenshin caughts sight of a shriek moment and glanced towards it. He saw a boy with short dirty-blonde hair and dark red eyes. He was leaned back in his chair and was staring back at him. They shot each other cold, awkward glares. The boy looked about Kenshin height, and had the same kind of tan. Kenshin than shooted up towards the tacher as she finished reading everyone's schedules but soon returned his look upon the boy.

There was a girl sitting to his right...it was Kaoru. Kenshin wanted to freak out, but soon felt the warm hand of the teacher tap him. He turned in response. She smiled down at him. "You may take a seat now."

He nodded and walked the closest he could get to his friends. They'd seemed to take up all the chairs so he was forced to sit in the middle of yet another group of flirtatious girls. Not that he minded or anything.

Once the teacher saw that everyone was seated, the bell rung and she began to speak. "Good morning class."

"Good morning, Mrs. Dorman.", the class responded.

"As most of you already know, I'm Mrs. Dorman. But I just thought that a little reminder to our new classmates. I hope that they enjoy themselves here." She turned around and started to draw something on the chalkbaord.

Someone tapped Kenshin shoulder again. He turned his head towards the person diagonally-above him. He recognized her voice. It was the girl from last period, Sou Ai. He smiled at her politely. "Hey..." She started to give him another flirty smile. Fiya caught sight of it and tightened her fists. "Ooh...that little slut...!", she thought. She flipped open her notebook and began to write. Moments later, she placed it on Kiro's desk, who was in the desk next to her. He read it and glanced at her then began to respond. He passed it back quickly.

She read his response and flushed once again while marking a big 'NO!' on it.

By the time Fiya and Kiro finished passing notes, the clock read 10 minutes until class was over. Mrs. Dorman wasn't teaching anymore. She got out a stack of papers and handed a certain amount to each row leader. Then they were to pass it back.

Kenshin handed the papers to the girl behind him after taking one himself. He silently read to himself. His eyes widened when he finished. This was a homework assignment. The assignment was to get with a partner of the opposite sex and do a class report about the different feelings each other had. Truthfully, it didn't sound that bad. It's just choosing a partner that buged him. He could already feel the girls surrounding him staring...waiting...(.) He didn't know what to do, so when the bell rang, he quickly ran out of the classroom before anyone could call out his name.

When he was farther down the hallway, he felt a tug on his ponytail. He turned around, rubbing his head. "Ow!" Fiya started to giggle."Don't worry, you'll live." Kenshin calm down. Kiro an Tsuchi came up behind her. Yet behind them, came a red-eyed boy. Kenshin's heart started racing as they glared at each other again. The boy slowly(on his guard) walked by Kenshin. Kenshin didn't let his guard down either.

He turned back to his friends when the boy was out of sight. Tsuchi and Kiro stared confusingly at him. "What was that about?" Kenshin shrugged. "I don't know...but he doesn't send out good vibes..if ya know what I mean." Fiya fingered her bookcover. Kenshin looked at it. "Who was he?"

She looked up at him, as if surprised he would ask that question. "His name is Himiro Suke. He just transferred here last year. I don't really talk to him anymore...sort of..." Tsuchi stared at her.

"How long were you together?"

Fiya blushed with confusion. "Wh..what?" Tsuchi repeated her sentence. Fiya shook a little. "We broke up last year...I'm not really sure why. But he said that he had to do something...and he might not see me for a while...but here he is and he hasn't said anything to me since school started again...but I get these weird calls to my cell...I know it's him but I haven't yet said anything."

Kenshin looked at her as if she had just come out of a swamp. "You dated that...him?" Fiya glared lightly at him. "Yeah. It wasn't that bad." Kenshin shivered. As did Kiro.

---

The rest of that day was pretty much the same. Kenshin had one more class with Suke. Gym. He noticed that he himself was going to have some competition.

---(after school)

Kenshin walked out of the tall, wide building along with Tsuchi and Kiro. Fiya had already went home, claiming she had a lot of homeowork. There weren't that many people outside yet. A long, black limo was already waiting infront of the school. Obviously waiting for Kenshin and the others.

They quickly stepped into the seats. Tsuchi and Kiro sat opposite of Kenshin inside. Just as Kenshin felt the limo's engine start up, someone knocked on the window. The limo began to move as Kenshin slid down the window curiously. As he did so, Kaoru's face was revealed.

"Kaoru...?"

She banged on the door, now at a running pace to catch up with the vehicle. "Kenshin, let me in! I need to talk to you!" He looked at his friends and then back at Kaoru. Her books were slowng her down. He skooted over and opened the door, letting her jump in just as they made a turn.

She dropped her books as soon as she entered, getting weird glances from Kenshin's gaurds. Kenshin glared at Kaoru.

"What in the world...?"

She turned towards him. "I need to talk with you about something. I was going to tell you after first period or health but lost you in the crowds." He stared at her. Something was different about her eyes. They were a cloudy blue. As if she weren't telling him the whole truth.

"Kaoru, what's this about?"

She looked out the window. "I wanted to tell you something." Kenshin was getting tired of her hesitation. "What is it?" Tsuchi folded her legs and stared at Kaoru. "It's just that...I wanted to know if you'd..." Kiro glanced awkwardly between the two and turned to whisper something in Tsuchi's ear. "Should we through her out? I mean she didn't ask us for permission to just hope in the limo. We are his guards here." Tsuchi giggled. "No...Kenshin knows this girl obviously and she doesn't look like a stalker. Give her atleast a couple minutes."

Kiro nodded and awaited Kaoru statement.

Kenshin sighed. "You're asking me out, ha?" Kaoru gasped. "What? No! I was just gonna ask you to be my--"

"Boyfriend." (Kenshin)

Kaoru growled. Kenshin smiled. "You can't fool me, Kaoru." She sighed and picked up her books. "That's not what I was going to ask." The boy stopped his laughter, noticing her movements.

"Kaoru! Close that door! We're still moving, you idiot!"

She glanced back and shut the door. "What did you just call me!" Kenshin could feel her anger lerching up inside her. "Uh...heheh?" She took a deep breath and opened the door again. THough this time, Kenshin grabbed her. "Let go of me, Carrott!" Kenshin ignored that comment. "What the hell are you doing! You realize there are other cars out there. We're in the middle of a traffic jam!"

She turned back. "No one's moving. I know when it's dangerous and when it's not. Now let go!"

"No way. You staying right here."

"Kenshin, LET GO!"

Tsuchi and Kiro watched from afar as the two battled with each other. Kenshin eventually got Kaoru to get back in and he locked the doors (with a remote control) until they got home.

At home...

"What the hell were you thinking?..getting into a moving vehicle like that!"

Kaoru looked away. "I needed to make sure you heard this from me." Kenshin staredat her as Kiro and Tsuchi went to their rooms (not wanting anything to do with their conversation).

"Hear what?" He didn't get a reply from her for a while. "Kaoru!"

She turned around. "I thought my name was Kamiya!" Kenshin paused for a second. "What is it that you needed to tell me, Ka-...Miss Kamiya..." Kaoru walked over to the kitchen and began to fix herseelf a drink. "It's just that...I still..." The red-head folded his arms. "you still...what?"

She took a few sips and turned towards him. "What's this relationship you and Fiya-san have, ha?" Kenshin raised an eyebrow. "What relation----?" A smirk crept up onto his face. "Miss Kaoru...you would happen to be jealous already would you?"

Kaoru flushed. "What! No! That's not it! I'm not jealous of you and...and...her!"

Kenshin started to laugh. "You are so predictable! You ran after my limo, hopped in while it was moving, and stalled your way into making me think you had something important to say."

Kaoru slammed the cup down on the table and marched up to him. She stared deep inot those violet eyes and spoke. "Look...you! I have no feelings for you anymore!" Kenshin stopped laughing. "Oh?" The angry girl stomped at him. "Yes!...and there's nothing you or your arrogance can do about it. So you can take your snobby attitude and leave Japan!"

She turned to march away. "Fine. I will."

She froze. She felt as if she might've just set off something she will regret. Kaoru turned slowly back around. "You are such a jerk!"

"I'm a jerk? I'm not the one that went to your house just to say that I have no feelings for you and told you to leave the country! And now your getting upset because I said I would?"

Kaoru glared. "Well...you're the one who told me that you only came here to appologize...nothing more, did you not?" Kenshin didn't say anything. Kaoru sighed.

"It's only fair I return the favor..."

"I don't think that's what you wanted to say..."

She looked at him with no emotion. Though her heart began to beat faster as he walked closer. He touched her arm and embraced her until his lips reached hers. They stayed in that position for atleast a minute and then broke away. Kenshin stared at her glowing blue eyes and whispered gently.

"I don't think that's what you wanted to say at all..."

He released her. She didn't move...almost as if she were frozen stiff. Kenshin smirked and sat down on a nearby chair. "..so...what was it that you really wanted to tell me?"

Kaoru unfroze herself and glared a blushing glare at him. "I..I...came here to say...that...I just wanted to know how you were coming along with your mission." Kenshin layed back. "Which one?", he said with a luring smile. Kaoru felt like she wanted to run to him and never turn back. She tried to get these thoughts out of her head, but they kept coming back.

"The one where you're supposed to be investigating something for your sensei..."

"Ah...that one."

Kaoru stepped back and forth. "Yes..."

"Well...I'm...we're doing quite well. That's all I may reveal to you though. I'm afraid any detail info in classified." Kaoru staggered a little. "Oh...wait, why is it classified to me? I wouldn't tell anyone."

"I know that. But my sensei has requested that I not dicuse this with anyone but the agents."

Kaoru glanced behind Kenshin at Kiro and Tsuchi who were doing a poor job of spying, and Haku who was putting away his apron. "These are the agents I suppose." Kenshin looked back. "Yep. Well not all of them...but three of the hundreds I suppose."

"Hundreds?"

"Enough to suround Japan."

She crossed her arms. "Why do you come here and bring your spys? I didn't bring hundreds of spys to America to complete some mission." Kenshin chuckled. "But yet you turned out to be a spy from Japan, am I right?"

She stayed silent. "So..." Kaoru walked over to a chair infront of Kenshin and sat down. "You told me that you had no feelings for me...and you don't, right?" Kenshin stared at her for a minute. "...why?"

"I just need to know." Kenshin tried to find a comfortable spot in his chair. "I don't know. And even if I did...you don't anymore."

"How do you know that?"

"Because you told me."

"When?"

Kenshin paused. "Kaoru...do you or do you not have feelings for me anymore?" Kaoru blushed. "How ever you feel, I feel.But I have to say...I am good at seduction." He smirked. "Yeah, right. Kaoru, you couldn't seduce someone if you were a stripper."

Her mouth dropped and then quickly turned into a luring smirk. Kenshin was almost afraid of what she was going to do next.

Kiro grabbed Tsuchi and Haku and walked out the door.

Kenshin felt a very hot blush coming on as Kaoru stud up and walked over to him. "Kaoru..." She came to him and threw one leg over him and sat down in his lap. She brung herself closer to him until she could feel his breathing. Her lips slightly brushed against his. It wasn't a full kiss, but it was enough to make him want more.

"Kaoru...what're y--?" She then hushed him with a kiss. It was a long kiss...one that both never wanted to end. Kaoru broke off and stared at his lips. She ran her fingers through his long, red mane. Kenshin placed his hands on her waist. "Finally you tell me what you came here to."

Kaoru smiled. "Are ya seduced yet?"

Kenshin laughed and thought to himself. "Nah..." Kaoru got off him and then ran over to the hallway. "Oh, really..." She ran on further.

Kenshin smirked and ran after her.
