*** Disclaimers apply... Blah blah.. RK's not mine.. Hail the Great Watsuki- sama... I'm now a college stud, but still poor!!..... Don't sue me! ^_^

II. Enishi

Do you know how happy She could be

Like a butterfly that is

Floating freely over the skies, over my

Eyes, taking my soul with her.

It hurts me, pains me, kills me to know

That She's happy. with

out me.

Enishi saw everything. Hell, he saw things he didn't even want to see. Or hoped to see.

He paced around his room, waiting for Kenshin to go up. Enishi heard footsteps and a loud bang on Kenshin's door. He quickly left his room and barged into Kenshin's.

Kenshin looked up at Enishi, clearly distracted. "Oh, hey. What's up?" He looked back down at the book he was pretending to be reading.

"Fuck you!" Enishi glared at Kenshin, his eyes shooting daggers.

Kenshin began to stand up and peered at Enishi, feigning innocence. "Nani?"

"You're such an asshole Kenshin!" Enishi shoved him roughly and Kenshin stumbled onto his bed. "You weasel!"

Kenshin snickered at the thought of being called a weasel. "Enishi, weasel only fits Misao-dono. not me." He stood up again and grinned at Enishi. "What's up with the macho-drive?"

Enishi flared up, there was nothing funny about this situation and he didn't like the way Kenshin was taking things. "You don't get it, do you? You think you can just walk back in and take everything away? You think a kiss can wipe everything away?! Who the hell do you think you are anyway?!"

Kenshin moved away from Enishi, finally accepting the fact that he already knew his feelings towards Kaoru. "How'd you find out?" He choked out the words, not daring to look at Enishi.

Enishi grabbed Kenshin's shirt and made Kenshin face him. He grasped his cousin's shoulder and punched him on the stomach. Kenshin was taken aback as Enishi's eyes flashed in anger and he scored another punch at his face. Kenshin rolled down and spit blood on his carpeted floor. Enishi glared at him, panting.

"I'm not stupid you know!" Enishi growled at Kenshin, who kept his head bent, his bangs covering his eyes. "You don't deserve her. you don't deserve her at all! You're just some low-life scum who can't get over his pride! Get over yourself, Kenshin!"

Kenshin leapt and lunged himself at Enishi, hitting him in the jaw. "Shut up Enishi! SHUT UP!" Kenshin immediately regretted what he did and took a step towards Enishi, his eyes wide with fear and guilt.

Enishi staggered backward as he held his hand up to his bloodied face. He turned his back to Kenshin and stared at the window.

Kenshin took another step towards Enishi, but Enishi raised his hand, signaling Kenshin to stop and remain where he is. "I don't want to fight with you anymore Enishi. We're best friends."

"How could you do this? How could you do this to me?" Enishi wept, his tears unseen. Clearly, the fight was over, but the storm hasn't passed.

"It was all my fault. I didn't know what came over me."

Enishi turned to look at Kenshin, pain evident in his eyes. "Then why didn't you stop yourself? Why didn't she stop you?! Why do you have to hurt me this way Kenshin? What is it I did for me to deserve this kind of pain?!"

"Enishi, she stopped. She didn't want to kiss me."

"Oh, God. Tell me everything's just a rotten nightmare. that I'll wake up to find that you're still my best friend, and she's still my girl." Enishi raked a hand through his hair and shrugged slowly. "I really love her. I never loved anyone this way."

Kenshin smiled sadly. "She loves you too. You should've known that." He turned to his bed and sat down, rubbing his palms on his swollen cheek, hoping that it could also ease the pain he was undergoing. "And I'm still your main man. And she's still your girl."

Enishi shook his head and sighed. "I want to believe that. Kami knows how much I want to believe that." He shook his head again and looked at his hands.

"What I did- it was wrong. I know that." Kenshin took a deep breath and managed an apologetic smile. "But I won't do it again, I swear to you, Enishi. We. we're brothers. nothing should come between us. I know I've been really insensitive and unfeeling, and I'm a real asshole. I don't have a right to ask for your forgiveness. I just need you to know how sorry I really am. And she loves you, not me. That's all that matters now." He felt a deep pang as he said those last lines.

Enishi looked up, walked towards the door and stopped. He hesitated for a moment then left.

The minute he closed the door, he already knew the truth.

Kaoru wasn't his girl.

She never was.

Argh!! I wanted someone to kill someone lese, but then that would be too much! Teehee.. Okay.. so I didn't. and I really wanted everyone to be intact at the end of the fic.

Kawaii is v. happy cuz she just read Gilmore Girls' spoilers and she found out Jess and Rory will be a probable team-up!! Oh, yesiree!! Rory will kiss Jess and.

Okay, okay, you guys probably know this already anyways! I should stop and talk about my fic instead!

Funny thing, Mirai seems to be like GG. stable relationships- Rory and Dean/ Kenji and Kaori. Third party-Jess/Arashi. a really committed and dedicated bf- Kenji, a stolen kiss and undeniable attraction. hehe.. really funny!

I'M BLABBING!! SOMEBODY SHUT ME UP!

Okay, okay, I'll shut up. I dunno what'll happen next in my fic.. does Enishi give Kaoru up or does the fight over her silently continue? I dunno.. cuz if I do that, Kenshin would turn out kinda weasel-y.. stealing Kaoru from under Enishi's really nice nose. y'know what I mean? ^_^

Kawaii is not in the mood for romantic moments cuz her life lacks those so-called moments.. Grrrrr.. Yes, Kawaii's life is full of deadlines and paperworks! Aargh!

Oh yeah, I forgot. in case you guys are wondering, the stupid poems are mine just pops in my head.... so no need to put a disclaimer. not that anyone would even want to claim them! But if you wanna use them, just tell me. and it'll be cool.

Minna: WHY would we WANT to use your idiotic, non-rhyming poems?! We don't even wanna read it in the first place! ::minna grumbles:: Kawaii: Err.. got a point there. ::blushes:: Minna: So.. why are you still talking?! Kawaii: Err. ::sweatdrops:: Minna: You're taking waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much space. Plus you're boring us with all these silly babbling. Get on with the story, BAKA! Kawaii: ::rushes back to her PC:: Hai! Hai! ::pants::

Thank you minna for reading and reviewing and keeping me company. Domo arigatou gozaimasta!

Till next chappie!!
