Chapter3. Moonlight Festival Blues


Morning arrived at the Kamiya dojo, Kaoru was in here room a tear fell
down her cheek.Her head hung down, she was wearing her yukata still as she
looked into the mirror "Am I not pretty, I guess Kariko is just way prettier
then me"she said as she cried more.

~FlashBack~

"Kenshin,there is something about you that I get all happy about"Kariko said
as she gazed into his violet eyes. "Really Kariko-dono?"he said as he smiled,
Kariko leaned forward and kissed him on the lips."Oro..."he said as he hung
his head down trying to protest to this "Kenshin.."kariko said as tears
slipped down her face.

But Kaoru saw the kissing part not the rejection part "Kenshin..."she
stuttered out as she put her hand to her mouth to cover it, tears slipping
from her eyes.

~End of Flashback~

"Oh Kenshin...."Kaoru said blankly as she stared at her ceiling, then she
herd a knock at the door. "Yes?"she called out, "Busu, it's time to
eat"Yahiko snickered knowing Kaoru never passed a meal "Alright coming"she
said drying her teary eyes and walked out as if nothing was going on.

At the clinic Megumi looked blankly at Sanosuke "Well rooster here for the
usuall"she said looking at his hand. "Hmm why yes how did you guess"he said
in a cocky voice, "Thats all your here for dummy"she said as bead of
sweatdrop formed on her head. "Well Fox gonna look at my hand?"he asked with
a gangster grin, as she took it firmly "Well looks like it need to be wrapped
again, did I not tell you to fight?"she scolded him more. "Hell, how can I
not pass a fight?"he asked with a chuckle as she wrapped his hand again, "So
what do you think about Enishi?"he asked with his brown eyes actually looking
serious "Well he sure is a gentlemen compared to you"she giggled as he
growled lightly.

"What Rooster, you act jealous over my complement for Enishi"she said as fox
ears appeared on her head "Yeah well...I have to go seeya for dinner at
Kaoru's"he said walking out.
"Hmm..now that was plain weird"she said but went back to work.

Kaoru was looking at a paper "Hmm..Moonlight festival a place were you can
prove your love"she said then smiled soflty "I'll get Kenshin for sure if I
tell him my feelings under the moonlight"she added and got up.

Kariko was massaging Kenshin's back "Oro...Kariko what are you doing?"he
asked as a sweatdrop formed "Just helping you relax Sir. Ken"she giggled as
Kaoru walked in "Kenshin wanna go to the moonlight festival with me
tonight?"she asked.
"Moonlight Festival?"he asked as Kaoru showed him the paper "Hmm..sounds fun
lets all go, that we should"he smiled as Kariko grinned "Yeah lets all
go"she giggled.

Enishi walked into the dojo "My look who decided to show up again, want a
free meal like Sanosuke?"Kaoru asked "Hmm..I was wondering if the Lady Doctor
would be here as well"Enishi said trying to act nautral. "Mou, yeah but we
all be going to the moonlight festival tonight.Why don't you come as
well"Kaoru said as she put a hand on Kenshin's shoulder and gave Kariko a icy
glare.
"Hmm..sounds intresting"Enishi mumbled and took a seat beside a wall.

~At the moonlight festival~

"Wow look at all the cool things"Kaoru said as she grabbed Kenshin's arm
"Yeah Ken-san"Kariko said as she took the other arm "Oro!"Kenshin said as all
three walked away.

"Poor guy"Megumi said "Please you were just like that Kitsune"Sanosuke said
as he laughed at her reaction. "Would you shut up!"she grabbed his ear
"Ehm..Miss Megumi would you like to go sit with me to watch the
fireworks?"Enishi asked.
Then Sanosuke then looked towards Megumi "No kitsune come sit with me to
watch the fireworks"he said as Enish growled "Eh...how..about.."Megumi said
"We go sit togather"she giggled as she walked towards the big lake and sat
infront of it. Sanosuke sat next to Megumi as Enishi sat on the other side of
her, she acted like she knew nothing.

"So..Meg would you like to come with me to dinner tomorrow night?"Enishi
asked as Sanosuke coughed "Gr..Kitsune would you like to go for a stroll with
me after this?"was what Sanosuke asked "Um...I'll do both"she giggled as the
two them sweatdroped

"Hey Ken-san go in the scary house with me"cooed Kariko as Kaoru growled "No
Kenshin come with me to do a game"Kaoru said. Two spark flew at eachother as
Kenshin stood helplessy in the middle. "I said Ken-san is coming with me you
ugly girl"Kariko growled as she tugged onto Kenshin "NO he is coming with me
you prissy skank!"Kaoru growled and pulled onto him "ORO".

Soon the fireworks start all the couples were telling eachother how they felt.
"Megumi...I..Love you"Sanosuke said "What?"Megumi said she could not hear
what he was saying because of all the loud clapping and talking. "Meg I love
you"Enishi said "Huh?"Megumi said because yet again she failed to hear. "I
LOVE YOU"Sanosuke and Enishi said at the same time "You guys are gay?"she
laughed she thought they were saying it to eachother "NO Meg...I love
you"they both said again as Megumi felt uncomfortable "Um..I'm gonna find
Kenshin.
She walked away leaving the two guys sulking in their own pity
"Megumi..."they both sighed.

The same thing was going on with Kenshin "Kenshin...I've been wanting to say
this a long time..now"Kaoru tried to finish "That your a lesbian"Kariko
laughed as Kaoru's eyes looked down "NO...Kariko!"she growled then walked
away tears escaping her eyes as she hid behind a tree ~Kenshin..does not
wanna hear this from me~Kaoru thought as she watched Kariko hang all over him.
