Author's note: Hi! I just wanna thank all the reviewers for reviewing my fic and giving nice comments! =3 The first fic I've ever written too!! T.T Thanks for all your support! Oh! Kori Suketchi, you mentioned about the people being the ones from the first volume? That's a good idea but it isn't. If I changed it, it would be a totally different story. Anyway, on with the fic!
Chapter 2
Kenshin looked up at the old man who called him.
"Yamamoto-san?" he inquired, scrunching his eyebrows.
Yamamoto-san, who was half a head taller than Sanosuke, smiled.
"So you remember me?" he exclaimed at Kenshin who was bowing respectfully at him, and he returned with a bow of his own.
"Such lovely company you have here," he said, staring particularly at Kaoru.
Kaoru blushed so deeply that her rosy cheeks turned rosier. Kenshin scratched his head at the awkward scene taking place in front of him. Yamamoto-san reminded him a lot of Okina of the Oniwabanshuu - flirting with young girls at his old age. Behind him, Sano and Yahiko were still busy helping the girl.
"Kaoru-dono, this is Yamamoto Kazuo. I met him after I stopped being a hitokiri."
He turned to Yamamoto-san and said, "This is Kamiya Kaoru. We stay at her dojo in Tokyo - The Kamiya Dojo. She's the sensei of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu."
Both Kaoru and Yamamoto-san bowed to each other.
"Himura-dono actually saved my life... and my daughter's too. It was about seven years ago, I think. If he had not been wandering at that time, we would have probably been dead by now!" he laughed. "You're such a lovely young lady and I notice that you're just Himura-dono's friend..." Yamamoto- san continued, wiggling his eyebrows flirtatiously at Kaoru.
Kenshin sweatdropped as Kaoru sped behind him.
'He's worse than Okina,' he thought.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru whispered, tugging his gi.
"Have you forgotten about me, otou-san?" asked Yamamoto-san's daughter.
"Of course not. This is my daughter, Momiji."
Momiji bowed politely at Kenshin and Kaoru. Sanosuke and Yahiko tagged along behind her like puppies. Momiji looked at Kaoru from head to toe and gave a snort of disgust. In her opinion, compared to her, Kaoru's appearance was plain and tacky. She smirked when she saw Kaoru's nostrils flare and her skin turn a shade of red. Kaoru was so mad that she twisted and twisted the sleeve of Kenshin's gi without realizing it.
"Oro... Kaoru-dono? Please stop. ORO?"
When half his gi fell off, he blushed and struggled to pull it back on. Momiji smiled. She finally found the man she wanted. Her father has been pestering her to get married soon and all the chosen candidates have been rejected. She gazed admiringly at Kenshin's lean muscular frame. His flaming red hair, his violet eyes, his cute smile and even his scar! Every part of him was perfect!
When Kenshin finally calmed Kaoru down, he straightened himself. He looked up and saw Momiji's adoring gaze. Behind her, Sano and Yahiko were shooting envious stares and glares at him. Sano's hands were balled into fists and Yahiko was holding onto his shinai, preparing to attack. Kenshin turned to Kaoru and saw an aura surrounding her. Her eyes were narrowed into slits and they looked amazingly like Saitou's eyes.
"Sessha is in big trouble..." Kenshin muttered.
"KENSHIN!!" Kaoru shouted and made contact with Kenshin's head and her bokken.
"ORO?!" yelped Kenshin before falling flat on the ground with the remnants of Kaoru's bokken beside his head, his eyes spiraling.
"Goodness! What kind of a lady are you?" asked the shock Momiji.
She gently raised Kenshin to a sitting position and allowed him to lean on her while his eyes continued to spiral. All this while, Kaoru, Sano, and Yahiko were fuming. After Kenshin finally regained his composure, he thanked Momiji. However, there was a huge bump on his head.
"Arigatou gozaimasu, Momiji-dono."
"I can't believe that you're so violent! You're supposed to act like a lady! You can't behave like that in public!" Momiji scolded Kaoru, while holding Kenshin's gi lovingly.
"What do you know? I bet you can't even protect yourself, you witch!" Kaoru shouted.
"You're all talk and no show! Come on and show me what you've got!" Momiji shouted back.
"Maa, maa. Let's not fight..." Kenshin started.
"Shut up, Kenshin no baka! You started it!" both Kaoru and Momiji shouted, punching Kenshin to silence.
"Ororororororo..."
"Jou-chan, you'd better not disfigure her or I'll have to get you..." Sano whispered warningly.
"You keep quiet! Have you forgotten what I've done for you all this while?"
"You mean starving and torturing me? And this is for Yahiko... making him do work for you and treating him like a slave and..." Sano continued.
"I didn't need that but thank you for bringing that up," Yahiko said to Sano.
"Your welcome."
"Shut up! What have I done to deserve this?"
Kaoru stared hard at Kenshin, Sanosuke, Yahiko, Momiji and her father.
"I hate you! I hate all of you! I come here to relax and what do I get?"
She turned on her heels and ran, tears streaming down her face. Yahiko stared dejectedly at Kaoru while Sano just looked guiltily at the ground. Kenshin was about to run after her but was pulled back by Momiji.
"Kaoru-dono! Wait!" Kenshin struggled, and shouted.
"Kenshin no baka. Don't ever let me see you again!" Kaoru cried.
Kenshin was suddenly paralysed and he just watched as Kaoru ran off.
Next chapter: Where did Kaoru run off to? Does she really not want to see Kenshin ever?
Author's note again: Ah... this chapter might be a little disappointing. Sorry to those who couldn't wait to read it. *sweatdrops* I'll try to make the next few chapters better.
