Chapter 4: The Introduction
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Previous: --
The girls seeing the scene unfold in front of them could do nothing, but giggled at their childishness.
"Idiots. Why was I being stuck up with you guys… just my luck" was what Hiko had to say to himself after being their superior for more than 5 years.
"Ok… the meeting ends here. Any question would be entertained after 3 P.M. So go. Oh ya! The air tickets would be paid by the company so don't worry about it."
"Hai!" was what the six assassins said as they exited the room.
'This is the second time we met and the first time we took on a mission together.' Kaoru thought to herself as every six of them headed to the cafeteria for the so-called 'introduction'.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
January 2, 2002
In cafeteria
The six of them as always were attracting many eyes towards them as the guys in those normal women workers were so cute, handsome and definitely cool. As for the girls in those normal guys' workers they were gorgeous, stunning, sexy and definitely hard-to-get.
They ignored those stare as usual, and seated on a two row table. Each having three seats each row. The guys sat facing the girls.
Megumi facing Sanosuke
Misao facing Aoshi
Kaoru facing Kenshin.
They fell into silence for a few minutes. The atmosphere between them was as cold as ever. So Kaoru decided to break the silence as the conversation was not going any where.
"So why not Sagara-san, you start first on introducing yourself?" Kaoru asked, while gesturing to Sanosuke.
Sanosuke was being caught off guard, so he had no choice but to talk what he had in mind.
"Oh yes… I would love too. I'm a family man and…" he said as he's hand went through his hair.
"Although I'm a popular man as every girl would be crawling over me, I would definitely stay true to my girl." He said in a very proud voice.
"I'm also…" He abruptly stopped when suddenly someone stomped on his foot.
"OUCH!! What's the damn big deal Aoshi?" Sanosuke snapped at Aoshi who was obviously not listening to his nonsense.
"AOSHI!!! ARE YOU LISTEN…" Sanosuke suddenly realized that everyone in the canteen was staring at him. Sanosuke instantly sat down his chair, hiding his blush.
"Ano... Sagara san… All I need to know is what are your strengths, weaknesses and your weapons. Not all those stuff that you had just said." Kaoru said. Than giggles were followed up after Kaoru spoke to Sanosuke.
"Of… Of course… That was just a warm up… hahaha…Well, hahaha, my strengths is my fist here. My weapons are nylon strings, and a pistol just in case for far-contact." Sanosuke finished nervously.
"Nylon strings?" Kaoru asked curiously.
"Yap. I get them from here." Sanosuke raised up his left hand. And there it revealed a watch-like weapon. Kaoru strained her eyes towards it and found that there was a detachable piece from it. The loop of nylon would then be wound round the victim's neck.
"Oohh... I see..." replied an amazed Kaoru with her eyes wide in astonishment.
"Hee, I like to leave my prey … Breathless…" Sanosuke said with a wide grin on his face while his gaze fell on to Megumi.
The other girls looked away in disgust after hearing the comment except for Megumi who blushed like a young schoolgirl and just shyly looked down.
"Sanosuke… I guess you forgot about the weakness part." Aoshi coolly said as he drank his Mocha.
Sweat ran down Sanosuke's brows as Aoshi tried to prompt Sano about something he didn't want people to know… His recklessness and his outright stupidity to matters of the heart.
"Maybe you want the girls to hear about your MANY wonderful love affairs with countless of beautiful women huh?" said Aoshi with a crooked grin across his face.
"Gulp…. Ah…. Errmm… Yes… Haaaa... Hey enough about me. Let's talk about Mr. Cool here huh? Ha Ha-" A half-hearted smile was all he could manage before a lame attempt to try and change the subject.
"Hmm what women?" asked an inquisitive Megumi, trying to hide her jealousy though in vain.
"Well… I… ok ok I give up! The truth is I'm just lousy with ladies. All my 24 years were spent without a lover OK…" *Sigh* 'Finally let it out' Sano thought to himself. Turning around to look at the others, he saw that all heads were bowed down and shivering. There was even Megumi wiping her eyes…
"Oh come now, no need to cry for me Kitsune." With that he went closer to embrace her.
"BWAAHAAAAHAAAAA…. HAAAHAAA" The whole room exploded with laughter as they learned about pitiful Sanosuke.
"Humph… That's it! One more haha or heehee and I'm out of here." Replied a rather cross Sanosuke as he folded his arms across his broad chest.
"Okay enough about Mr. Rooster head here, Now let me introduce myself- I'm Shinomori Aoshi, a 25 year-old computer whiz. I 'm well versed in all firearms and certainly a marksman with all of them. "After finishing what he had to say he coolly shaped his hand like a pistol and pointed it directly at Misao who just ignored him completely.
"Looks like you and me are in the same boat huh?" smirked Sanosuke who gave Aoshi a nudge in the latter's ribs.
Aoshi just stared at Sanosuke with those ice- cold eyes of his which seemed to pierce his very soul and said in a similar cold voice, "I've got a new toy and haven't tried it out…. Would you want to be the first?"
"Haa…Haa… Eh… See... That's his weakness… He's such a wet blanket at parties. But that's Aoshi for you- Ice Cool" And with that he gave off a sigh of relieve. He fully knew what Aoshi was capable of and shivered at the thought of it.
"Ok… we have both done it Kenshin… So the rest is up to you buddy." Sanosuke shot Kenshin a wink as he talked. Kenshin just shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm Himura Kenshin, well I'm also the so called… Hitokiri Battousai. My weapon is a Katana. I guess all of you don't need me to say about my strengths… na?" Kenshin looked up at all of them.
"Ok… I guess that's it than…" Kaoru stood up and finished her drink and stretched her body. The other two girls also stood up and got ready to leave. Just as Kaoru was turning around and walked away she suddenly remembered about the wound she caused at Kenshin's left cheek. Then she turned around and faced Kenshin.
"Anou… Kenshin-san… can I talk to you for a moment outside the cafeteria?" Kaoru asked.
Kenshin just nod his head and gave her a faint smile. Kaoru smiled back and walked away with Misao and Megumi.
********
"Some guys ne…" Kaoru smiled at her so-called sister.
"I think that they are irritating and stupid at some point. But in short I think that they are fine." Misao replied as coldly as ever. Misao was the coldest between them all but she was still very kind at heart. But if they were to observe who had the thickest ice wall around their heart… it would be Kaoru. The second would be Misao and the third would Megumi.
"Well… I find the rooster head pretty cute if you ask me." Megumi said towards the girl with a tinge of shyness in her voice. Kaoru and Misao looked towards Megumi.
"Looks like someone's in love ne Misao chan." Kaoru smiled cheekily at Megumi and than wink at Misao
"Sou yo… Kaoru chan." Misao smiling for the first time in the day, grin at Megumi and nudged at her.
"What? Let's just go back and prepare our things ne…" Megumi gave up and sighed.
"Okok… I guess lover girl couldn't take up the pressure." Kaoru said while giggling with Misao as they placed their cups at their respective places. As they exited the café, Kaoru walked towards the wall next to the exit, as she lean at it with her back against it.
"You guys go ahead first… I need to settle things with Battousai." Kaoru said.
"Don't go around killing him or you need to find another partner for the Boston trip… Wakatta?" Misao playfully warned Kaoru.
"Hai Hai… Misao sama… Megumi sama." She laughed along with them as they walked further away from her.
'Haiz… Misao and Megumi are really nice to me… I really owe them… if it wasn't for them… I guess there won't be any legend about a lady Hitokiri named Hitokiri Kageyuki'. What a life saver.' Kaoru thought and smiled at it as she slowly drifted of to what happen to her and who were the angels who saved her.
Just than someone patted her shoulders which brought her back to reality. She turned around to find out that, there he was. Her temporary partner for this mission and maybe her sworn enemy or something else even she herself wasn't sure about it.

Authors Notes::
Yatta!! Whew really racked my brain to thought of what weapons, strength and weaknesses. Oh ya… Minna Gomen… I didn't mention anything about the past but only a little hint which is the second last paragraph. Pls give me more time… Thank you for the patience… Pls R & R…
Minna… I kinda feeling down… I kinda regret publishing this fic… I find mine kinda sux between other writers…but I want to continue this fic as this is my very FIRST one. I afraid that if the longer the story goes… the worst it gets… I'm not sure if anyone would want to read it than… *sobz* yet I cannot shorten the story as all of them play a crucial part… Minna… please help me… I'm not very sure of what I am doing now… but I would of course continue the story so don't worry…
Ok… let's not talk about that… haiz… I would like to thank all the readers and especially these people. ::
Icez Bluez - - Hi… thanks for the suggestion, well you were the one who suggested this idea about them working together... SO… you really got my greatest THANKS… maybe without you suggesting it in the first place… I wouldn't be sitting in front of the com for hours and writing all this stories which I really hope that it would be loved by all of you ppl out there… So once again… Arigatou Gozaimasu ^_^
Gypsy-chan - - Thanks for the encouragement… and of course your suggestion… Maybe I can use it after this mission… *hehe* or maybe in another fic *hehe* well thanks again… you really helped me a lot… Arigatou Gozaimasu… =)
chibi-angel - - Well since Kaoru was working for Katsura… I believed that before they go on with a partnership with another group they would be informed and most forehand that Katsura has the mission slip on his hands. This was to make it so that Kaoru and gang got to know this before hand. That's why she knew Kenshin during the first chapter… *wink* erm… is all this making sense?? Anyway thanks for the encouragement… Arigatou Gozaimasu… =)
Nameless - - Well… you are quite right about saying that the guys and girls had a 'switch' in personalities [except for Sano and Megumi ::scratches head::]… I was kinda bored about guys being cooler than girls so I decided to let the girls had that cooler attitude first and see how it turns out. Well it turn out quite well as no VIOLENT objections was made… *hehe* This Fic I'm putting Misao having the outer coldness and Kaoru having the inner ice wall… well in short Misao is very cold at the outside and Kaoru is terribly cold in the inside… *get it??* Thanks for the encouragement… thanks for your concern about the pressure part… but it's ok… having pressure makes me write faster and think more but OF COURSE not too much… or you might notice that I would never update again as I might just go CRAZY!! *heehee* Anyway thanks again… Arigatou Gozaimasu… (sorry for being so long winded) ^_~
sync*in - - Hiz… thanks for the praise… I really appreciate it… Arigatou Gozaimasu… =)
