Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin. [Meteor Garden-ish story, yet slightly different]

"Kenshin, I think we should go. It's getting dark," Kaoru said as she tugged at his hand, which held her own. They have been sitting on the ledge for most of the day, talking and laughing, as if they were old friends. Kaoru had almost forgotten the incident with Enishi, but in Kenshin's mind, it was still fresh. He won't have his sweet and innocent Kaoru stained by a scum like Enishi. Kaoru giggled at his inattentiveness and tugged at his flaming red hair. Kenshin chuckled at her childish acts.

"Look, it's a full moon," he said quietly, startling Kaoru. She averted her eyes to the moon and smiled, "I can see the moon man, can you?" Kenshin looked at her with confusion in his eyes. Kaoru giggled again, "I'm sorry, this might be lame but my father had told me this story about the moon man. That he was the child an angel who was stranded on the moon for a while. The angel was dying, so she assigned the child to be the protector of the moon and earth. My father told me that the moon man was still young, and that when he dies, it would be the end of the world."

Kenshin nodded and looked at the bright, silver plate in the sky, "I can see him, if you look at the right, there's his face." Kaoru laughed. She got off the ledge and urged Kenshin to do the same. Kaoru smiled, "It's going to rain soon. You can see the clouds covering the moon." Kenshin laughed, "Doushite? Are you scared of the rain?" Kaoru shook her head, "Nani? Kamiya Kaoru is not scared of anything! Nothing can scare me!" she looked up to the sky, "Come on, rain then, I'm not scared." She looked back down and was surprised to find Kenshin gone. It started raining then.

"Eh? Kenshin? Where are you? Kenshin?" Kaoru asked. When she turned around - "BOO!" Kenshin shouted. Kaoru jumped back and when she realized what happened, she blushed red with embarrassment, "Himura Kenshin! What's the meaning of this, scaring people off like that?" Kenshin laughed, "Sorry, Kaoru-dono, I just had to test if what you said was correct, that I did. Are you sure you're not scared of anything?" Kaoru slapped his shoulder, making water splash off it.

"We're soaked! C'mon, let's get out of here," she cried through the pitter- patter of the rain. She tugged at Kenshin's hand, but he wouldn't budge. She turned around and was surprised that he was enjoying the rain. He was looking up at the sky, as if fascinated by the droplets of water coming down. Then he turned to look at her and smiled. A genuine smile.

"Let's dance," he said, taking Kaoru in his arms. Kaoru was shocked, but happy at the same time. Though Kenshin didn't say he loved her, Kaoru knew that she was in love with him with every second that passed.

"Megumi," Enishi said with a grin, "to what do I owe you this visit? You finally left that Rooster-head to be with me, eh? Come here and show me some love." Megumi laughed and brushed of his hand that was on her shoulder, "Sorry, Enishi, but I'm here for business. I heard about your quarrel with Kenshin and that tanuki. I came here to help you."

Enishi sat down on a sofa in his enormous living room and sighed, "But with every deal, there's a catch. What do you want, Megumi?" She smirked, "Kenshin." Enishi laughed. She wanted Kenshin? What's with that? He wasn't that handsome. Enishi stopped laughing, "What's you're plan?" She picked up and ornament on the table, "Everyone knows that your enemy's weakness is the object that they desire. In this case, Kaoru wants Kenshin."

"Hahaha, Megumi, you're the funny sort. Why does everyone want him? This guy is too short and skinny and his ridiculous red hair makes him look like a girl! How would you know, anyway?" Enishi asked. Megumi tossed him a videotape, "In that video, you can see how Kaoru and Kenshin interact. Kaoru is all over the guy, for Pete's sakes. You can tell. Kenshin, however, seems to be holding back. You'll see it all. Anyway, back to the plan. Now that Kenshin is in your way, he becomes your enemy as well, am I right? And I know what he wants. Tomoe-san."

"But Tomoe is in France!"
"She arrived here today. Don't you remember? It's her twentieth birthday two days from now. Your parents had planned a party for her. Of course, Ken-san is invited. And since Aoshi is coming, so is Kaoru. When Kenshin sees Tomoe, he will have to confess everything to her. It's been 2 years since they saw each other and I know Ken-san too well to pass up this opportunity. We must somehow get those two in a room, where Ken-san will confess. Then we'll push Kaoru in there, and let her hear everything. Then, of course they'll be separated!"

"What about Tomoe's fiancé?" Enishi asked, obviously forgetting his brother-in-law-to-be's name. Megumi sighed, "He can't come this year, he has business." Enishi stood up and kissed Megumi on the cheek, "You're a genius!" Megumi smirked as Enishi worked out the details of their plan.

A/N: short one today! I might not be able to update on the 31'st as I need to go to some building to do something with my documents or whatever. And after that I'll party. but I promise to have one tomorrow!
