After some hours, we got off the airplane.

I was carrying my bag and walking around. It was just good to be back to Japan again.

Kenshin tapped my shoulder. "Well, it's kind of cold here. Let's go to the café to warm ourselves, ok?" he asked with a smile.

I smiled and nodded. "Hai, hai!" I said with some giggles and went after him to the café.

I sat on the chair near the vacant table. I watched Kenshin buy coffees for the two of us. I suddenly felt something cold on my finger and saw that it was the ring.

"Sanosuke..."

Kenshin gave me the cup of coffee. "What's the matter?" he asked while he sat down on the chair.

I shook my head and smiled sadly. "Nothing..." I whispered.

Later...

I ran towards the stores. "I can't believe I'm here again in Japan!! Let's go shopping!" I exclaimed, not caring if I bump to people.

Kenshin chuckled as he watched me hop towards the shopping stores.

I didn't care if it was still snowing. I just love Japan!!

Kenshin and I went to the malls, arcades, and many more!

"Could we take a picture?" I asked, not in my right mind.

Kenshin smiled. "Sure," he said in a weary tone.

We two went in a picture-taking something, and we both smiled when the picture was already taken.

That night...

I stretched and yawned. "That was so tiring!" I exclaimed, giggling.

Kenshin laughed too. "Yup, and you're so energetic, like when we were still in 6th grade." Kenshin said.

I winked at him. "I feel so good! Thank you, Kenshin."

"For what?"

"For making me this happy," I explained, smiling sweetly.

Kenshin smiled and closed his eyes. He opened it once in a while and took out his right hand.

I looked at his hand, and I felt that my right hand was moving.

"Let's go together, shall we?" Kenshin asked in a cheerful tone.

I placed my right hand on his gently. "OK!" I exclaimed, and we walked towards home happily.

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

As usual, my parents were both surprised for my sudden homecoming. But they were happy having me back.

I lied on my bed and sighed a relief and happiness feeling. "Oh... I feel so tired... Oh! I have to help Kenshin clean the classroom tomorrow! I must sleep early!" I said to myself.

BEEP-BEEP!

I grabbed my cell phone out of my bag and answered it cheerfully. "Moshi- moshi? This is Kaoru Kamiya speaking!" I exclaimed.

//Kaoru? You're still as energetic as ever. //

"Kenshin!" I exclaimed and sat up. "Why did you call?" I asked nervously.

//Well, I have something to say to you. //

//Well, ok. Shoot! //

//Er...Uh... What if...I didn't tease you about Enishi when we were still in 6th grade? Would you be happy like this? //

//... //

//...Kaoru...? //

//Ah... Gomen! Well, I don't want to talk about that! All I know is that I'm happy that I met you...and the others too! I wouldn't be complete without all of you! //

//...Ok... Sleep tight, Kaoru... //

I smiled at the window, looking at my reflection. I was thinking that I'm facing Kenshin.

//Kenshin... Arigatoo... Bye-bye. //

Receiver down!

I squeezed my pillow and smiled as I fell asleep, thinking about our picture...

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

I arranged the chairs and arranged the books in our classroom.

Kenshin was cleaning the blackboard and cleaning the shelves.

After 2 hours or something...

"Kaoru?"

"Hmm?" I asked while scrubbing the floor with floor wax.

I didn't mind if I was cleaning this way like a maid. All I cared that I was happy. I never experienced this kind of happiness.

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat." Kenshin said.

I stopped polishing the floor. I nodded cheerfully. "Ok!"

We went to a nearby canteen and ate in delight. I was hungry too!

I was eating the carrot cake for dessert and I didn't notice that Kenshin was staring at me.

"Does it taste great?" Kenshin asked while drinking some Pepsi in can.

I nodded. "Hai!" I exclaimed. I stared at Kenshin and instantly blushed when he stared back at me.

Kenshin chuckled when he noticed me blushing.

"Uh... Kenshin, arigatoo, really."

Kenshin questioned me with his face. "Huh?"

"Well... You opened the door of happiness for me... I've never been this happy. Even with Sanosuke...I'm..." I whispered, looking down.

"Does that mean anything?" Kenshin asked.

I was shot again by the speechless words. Speechless words? What the--?!

"Never mind." Kenshin said and stood up. "We must go back to school."

I stood up too. "Um, Kenshin, did I look like Sakura back then when I was talking about the 'door of happiness'?" I murmured.

"Sakura who?" Kenshin asked, scratching his head awkwardly.

I giggled. "Sakura Kinimoto! You know...in Card Captor Sakura!" I exclaimed.

"Ah! Gomen! I don't really watch much ANIME!" Kenshin said and laughed with me.

I stepped outside the canteen door. "Whoever is the last who will go to the school, he or she will be buying free foods!" I exclaimed and started running.

"Unfair!" Kenshin exclaimed while laughing. He ran after me.

I was running fast and I laughed when I saw that Kenshin was already in front of me.

Wow! A God-like speed!

We ran fast while smiling and laughing.

Sanosuke walked back and forth.

Misao scratched her head. "Mou! Stop walking already, Sano! You're making me confused!" Misao exclaimed.

"Can you keep quiet there? I want to get back to Japan! I don't want those two to be alone together just even for a while!" Sanosuke exclaimed.

Tae gasped.

"Can you keep quiet, Sano? I'm thinking of a way to go back there too." Megumi said, staring at the door of Kaoru's room.

Misao looked at the two. "Mou! If you're thinking about Kaoru-chan being happy with Kenshin then go on with it!"

Sanosuke, Megumi and Tae stared at Misao.

"If it is true, then stop worrying! I want my best friend to be happy. If that's the case, then just leave the two of them alone!" Misao exclaimed and walked out of the room.

"What's her problem?" Megumi asked.

Tae went out of the door also. "Ah... Sanosuke?"

"What?" Sanosuke said without looking at Tae.

"I'm advising you that stop being so possessive. She hates being used and she said that no on owns her. Maybe that's one of the reasons that she went back to Japan." Tae whispered and went out of the room.

Sanosuke stared at the bed of Kaoru. He closed his eyes.

Is it true that because of me you left me here and went with my damn best friend?

Author's notes: Konnichiwa!! I finally updated this chappie! Sorry for the slow update! I'll all make it up to you...if there's time! You know, I'm busy today because of SCHOOL.

My devil teacher scolded me because I wrote the notes in another notebook. Why did she have to scold me? At least I have written it! *sigh* I'm beginning to be a "maldita" again!

Bye! ^_^ Motto: Keep smiling even there's a devil teacher beside you! Hehehe...
