Author's Note: I'm depressed, there seems to be so little reviews. Anyways for those who are confused as to the way Kenshin acts around Kaoru, you remember Kenshin as being the grim, touch me and die guy right? Well he is kinda confused and curious about her. Have you ever had an instinctive liking or hating towards anyone? Well thats kinda his case, also she some how has this air around her that is light hearted and cheerful. Not to mention she some how manages to makes him forget the blood and can make him single handedly laugh. That's why he seems like a different person around her. Come on people review and feel free to ask me questions, I'll try to answer them to the best of my abilities.




Yahiko looked toward the guy that his friend was pointing at with a shocked expression and decided to interven feeling possessive. " Hey Kaoru who is he?" He asked trying to pry her attention away from the stranger.

" Kaoru is it?" Kenshin asked tasting her name, liking the way it rolled of his tounge pleasantly. Last time I saw you, I didn't see a boy tailing after you. Is he yours or a friend?" Kaoru turned red at his implacation as Yahiko's face darkened into a glare. Yahiko gave Kaoru that demanded an explanation. She waved him off as if saying later.

Realizing he was making the two uncomfortable Kenshin moved from his spot at the doorway. With a sweeping motion from his hand, he invited them in. "I' ll show you to your respective rooms."

Kenshin woke up to a very familiar sound. The sound of fighting, from the swooshes of the sword to the thuds of the feet and inanimate objects. Grabing his katana he race out to confront the fighters. He was worried he couldn't seem to locate any battle ki, indicating that these were very skilled fighters that he would have have to fight with. What he found shocked him.




Hahahahaha JK, though i'd leave you there huh but i'm not that mean. This piece of writing is too short even for someone with a cold.>

He saw a blur that he could only guess was Kaoru due to the clothes she wore. She was a blur of a blue of blue and white as she went though her pattern dances. ( This is not dancing or taichi. Taichi is slow and is for the spirit of something, can't remeber. A pattern dance is when you practice fighting, you do different forms fighting imaginary foes.) When Kaoru stopped, Kenshin marveled at he consentrated face as she held her position. A moment later a shower of leaves decended, from being cut by her duing her practice. Then she dropped her form and turned to look at his direction.

" I know you're there you two. You can come out." She called out. Her statement made him look around and lo and behold next to him was the boy he met yesterday standing slack jawed next to him. He had been so shocked he had not noticed the little boy's presence.

Seeing no responce, Kaoru flicked the water off her blade, stuck it in her shelf and walked towards to the two.

"She was just a blur." Fell from Kenshin's lips.

" You should have seen before, all I saw was a whirl wind. She slowed down when you came." Yahiko stuttered back.



Author's Note: No Yahiko does not like Kaoru in that way. He is kind of afraid that Kenshin will take her away, his only friend and the closest he has ever had to a family with acceptance. Sorry its taking me so long to write but I have lots of homework and I caught a cold. Pretty much I'm feeling pretty lousy. The only thing making me write is the hope for reviews. JK. I want reviews but I don't feel like writting. The only reason I am is guilt that this might be another story i'll leave half way done except in this case i already posted it online. I'm really not feeling well so it might not be good and its shorter but what the hey.
