ArtemisMoon: Hi! We are finally back now that fanfiction is working
correctly. I hope you haven't completely lost track of what is going on in
the story! Anyway, there was a problem with the last chapter upload and it
uploaded it twice. Some people reviewed under chapter 5 instead of four
like you should have, so in order to review this chapter, those people
might have to go back to chapter 4 chapter to review. I am not sure how
that will work. Hopefully this one will replace the other chapter five and
everything will be in order again. Hope you enjoy this chapter! ^_^
Kajun Spice: Yay! Fanfiction is finally back up!! And we still don't have any waff in this story! Go figure! Anyway, on to the story...

Koishii
"So, Himura-san, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Soujirou questioned him. They had settled in outside and Kenshin had started on the laundry with a vengeance! Kaoru is going to be lucky if she doesn't have any holes in her kimonos when he's finished, but I am sure there will be plenty of men who will feel lucky if she does!
Kenshin stayed quiet for a moment, trying to decide on how to start. He finally just jumped right in! "Did you have a woman in your room with you last night de gozaru ka?"
Soujirou blanched. "Woman? Why would you think that?"
"You were heard talking to someone." Kenshin admitted with some hesitation.
"By who, Himura-san?"
Kenshin shook his head. "That isn't really important. Sessha just wants to know the truth. You know Kaoru-dono would be angry if you did something like that de gozaru na."
"Well, no, I didn't have a woman with me. Not exactly." Soujirou admitted. "But if I tell you about her, then you can't tell anyone Himura-san! You must keep my secret."
Kenshin stared at him with surprise. "Oro? How can you 'not exactly' have a girl in you're room de gozaru ka?"
"Well, okay, she is a girl."
The confused rurouni sweat dropped. "You are going to have to do better than that de gozaru."
Soujirou blushed slightly and looked down at the ground. Kenshin had never seen him so reluctant. A shocking thought came to mind, and Kenshin gasped. "Did you have a cross dresser in you're room de gozaru ka?"
"NO!" Soujirou almost shouted! He calmed down a bit and gave Kenshin a pleading look. "That's not it, really. If you have to know.Koishii is my.teddy bear." The last words were almost whispered.
Kenshin's eyes widened. "Oro? Did you say teddy bear de gozaru ka?"
The boy nodded and refused to look up at Kenshin. The older man couldn't help himself, and suddenly burst out laughing!
"It's not funny!" Soujirou defended himself. He got up and started to walk off but Kenshin stopped him.
"Gomen! Sessha didn't mean to laugh, but sessha was relieved that's all it was!
Soujirou didn't look at all convinced, so Kenshin decided it was time he confess something. He stopped washing the clothes and sat beside Soujirou on the porch. "Sessha had a bear once long ago too."
The younger man looked amazed. "You did?"
"Hai." Kenshin nodded. "Sessha will tell you about her."
*****
About that time, Kaoru, Yahiko, and Misao had taken a break from practice. Of course, anyone who knows Misao at all can figure out what she does next! And anyone who knows Kaoru can figure out that she joined her!
They both slipped up to the corner of the building just in time to hear Kenshin's next words.
"She had been sessha's favorite companion." Kenshin admitted to Soujirou. "We were together all the time, up until the war. Then I had to leave her behind." He hung his head sadly. "Sessha never saw her again."
"How sad, Himura-san! You must have been heart broken."
Kenshin smiled sadly. "Hai. Sessha could have gone back for her, but now that I have found Kaoru-dono, it's not quite so bad. If Sessha can ever find the courage to tell Kaoru-dono how I feel, she probably wouldn't want to share with her anyway de gozaru na."
If you could have only seen the shocked looks on the faces of the two listening! Kaoru was torn! Should she feel happy that he has feeling for her, or should she kill him because he still misses another woman! Choices, choices! Her fist tightened on her bokken, showing the direction she was leaning.
Soujirou seemed to be lost in thought, and Kenshin waited patiently. "Himura-san, I can tell you know exactly how I feel about Koishii. I feel like I can trust you, so I have an idea. Would you like to share her with me?"
Kenshin's eyes widened in surprise. "Oro? Share her de gozaru ka?"
"Hai! I can sleep with her one night, and you can sleep with her the next!" Soujirou seemed to really like the idea!
Kaoru's fist tightened even more on the bokken, and was on the verge of snapping it in two! {Of all the nerve! Sharing a woman! I am going to kill them BOTH!} Kaoru's thought's raged. Misao's were along the same line.
Kenshin suddenly smiled, making Kaoru more furious! "Sessha would like that! It would be like old times de gozaru."
"Then it's settled! You can have her tonight! Just please don't tell Misao- chan about her please. I don't want to her to know, because she might not like me so much anymore. Women lose respect for men when they do things like this."
{No kidding!} Misao mentally shrieked! {Wait till I get my hands on them.Himura is a traitor! I thought he would help me, and all he does it cheat on poor Kaoru-san!}
Both of the women looked at each other with fierce expressions. Poor Kenshin and Soujirou! Will they survive the night?
*****
"I can't believe those guys!" Kaoru raged later. She and Misao had left the dojo to talk where no one would hear them, and also so they wouldn't have to face Kenshin or Soujirou yet. "I never thought Kenshin would do something like this to me! Where is this little hussy they keep talking about, and who is she? I am gonna wring her scrawny little neck!"
"Calm down Kaoru-san!" Misao told her friend. Out of character, isn't it? Well, not really. "I WANT TO DO IT! You can beat her with you're bokken!"
Kaoru took a deep breath, knowing they were not going to get anywhere like this. "Okay, here is the plan. She is going to sleep with Kenshin tonight, right? Well, I am going to catch them together, THEN KILL HER!" The rage was back full force!
Misao nodded happily. "Can I watch at least?"
Kaoru shook her head. "No, leave Kenshin to me. This is going to get ugly, and you need to deal with Sou-chan later."
"That's true." Misao mused. "Just leave some of that hussy to me! I have to get a piece of her too!"
Kaoru smiled with malice. "It's a deal! So, shall we head back to the dojo? Maybe I need to make Kenshin a rice animal!"
"Hey, great idea Kaoru-san! But really, let someone else cook dinner. I want the guys to actually live long enough so suffer!"
Kaoru glared at Misao. "If my cooking is so bad, maybe I should use it to put YOU out of you're misery!"
Misao sweat dropped. "Um, I don't think I'm really hungry."
Kaoru smirked. "You should eat more and fill out. At least stuff something in you're shirt to get Sou-chan's attention. Maybe you can borrow that lump that's in his coat!"
It was Misao's turn to be furious. "You're evil, Kaoru-san!"
"Oh, you don't know how evil I can be." Kaoru murmured. "I'll get you, Kenshin no baka, and you're little hussy too!" Both girls laughed, but eyed each other warily after their little fight.
Hey, with friends like these two, maybe they will do each other in! At least Kenshin and Soujirou would have nothing else to worry about!
ArtemisMoon: Like it so far? We hope so! It shouldn't be much longer I think. And some Kenshin and Kaoru fluff is coming up, probably in the next chapter. I will be sweating bullets when I start writing that! SAVE ME KENSHIN! AOSHI! SOMEBODY! Quit laughing Kajun Spice, or I will make you write it!
Kajun Spice: ~shudder~ I wasn't laughing! That was just a little chuckle that escaped. Hehehe! So what's Kaoru going to do to poor Kenshin this time????
Kajun Spice: Yay! Fanfiction is finally back up!! And we still don't have any waff in this story! Go figure! Anyway, on to the story...
