"It'll be fine… Whenever you are ready just call my cell phone and we will be here as fast as possible." Aoshi only nodded his head to express agreement.
"Than I guess we will make a move first than. Good night." Kenshin, Aoshi and Sanosuke headed for the door. Sanosuke turned back and make a gesture of a telephone towards Megumi… expressing that he would call her. Than after that he turned around and walked out of the room.
"What a night… Well… I'm going to bed… what about the both of you…" Kaoru turned around to find Megumi and Misao lying on her bed pretending to sleep under her blanket.
"Why you…" Kaoru quickly switched off the lights and ran to her bed to get back her rightful place.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
"Hmmm…" Kaoru woke up as she stretch her arms and body and then look at her side. There was Misao on her left and on her right… nothing.
"Megumi sure was desperate for being alone with that Tori atama." Kaoru got out of bed and went to have a shower and to prepare herself for the day.
'Hmmm… 5 more days to meeting the so call Enishi… I wonder what kinda of man he is.'
After her bath, she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out, she went towards Misao's direction and woke her up.
"Misao, wake up its morning already." Kaoru said in a soft voice.
"Argh… do I have too? It's so early." Misao complained as she hope that Kaoru would let her have her sleep.
Frustrated, Kaoru took the alarm clock and put it in front of Misao.
"Misao sama… now the time is 10 in the morning. We have an appointment today… so get your ass in the bathroom now!" Kaoru said pointing to the bathroom door. Misao arched her eyebrows.
"Is that a command or a suggestion?" Misao asked. Angry and irritated Kaoru literally dragged Misao to the bathroom and closed the door.
"BOTH!" Kaoru answered her question as she walks towards the wardrobe.
She opened the door to reveal all her clothes that she as wore before.
'Hmm… what should I wear?" Kaoru said while her hand went through those clothes.
"This looks like a nice one." Kaoru picked out a baby blue dress. She tried posing with the dress as she look in the mirror.
'Not bad… ok this will do.' Kaoru thought as she slip into her under garment and then she took off the towel. She then slip into the dress.
'Hmm… better than I thought." Kaoru started posing like a model in front of the mirror until Misao came out of the bathroom and said.
"So? Finished already? Now it's my turn to get dress right?" Misao asked her sister.
"…Oh… sure." Kaoru moved out of the way and to the phone.
"I'll message Battousai first so that they too can prepare." Kaoru said as she finished typing the message and was starting to search for Kenshin's number.
'Ah… found it!' She pushed the button to send… She waited for Kenshin to reply her message.
**********
While…. In the guy's room.
Kenshin and Aoshi were already ready and were sipping tea.
Kenshin wore a dark blue suit with a violet collar tee with a pair of black pants. They colours were very matching thus bring out the red in his hair.
Aoshi wore a black suit, black collar tee and a pair of black pants. To him it was fine as he loved the colour. In the suit, there was his own created pistol which he had refused to leave it at home.
"Do you really need to bring that pistol along? I mean… we are going on a shopping trip, we aren't really going down the street to assassinate people you know?" Kenshin said while trying to persuade his friend again.
"No… I am not leaving without this pistol. Never!" Aoshi replied.
"Fine… then I'll have two pretty gorgeous women with me today. Without you there I can ask them out again." Kenshin said smoothly as he sips his tea.
Aoshi sweat dropped.
"Ok…ok I'll leave it at home ok." Aoshi gave in to Kenshin's persuasion but was actually more like threats to him.
"Beep Beep." Kenshin's phone beeped.
The screen read: MESSAGE RECIEVED
"Well, here we go." Kenshin said while pushing the button to read the message.
The message read:
Ohayou ~ Please be here in another 5 minutes… me and Misao are ready. Please reply if you are ready. *muack*
Kaoru
Kenshin smiled at the message and started replying.
"Let's go Aoshi… we have girls waiting."
"Aa…" Aoshi followed behind Kenshin as he locked the door.

Back to the girl's room
"Beep Beep." Kaoru's cell phone beeped.
The screen read: MESSAGE RECEIVED
She pushed the button to read.
The message read:
We are coming to get you now.
Kenshin.
She smiled as she slips her cell phone into her white handbag. While beckoning Misao, who wore a sexy black dress.
"Just a moment." Misao was busy packing her cell phone and 'things' into her handbag.
'I guess this will do.' Misao thought as she went to the door way and wore her high heels along with Kaoru.
When they finished everything the door bell rang.
'Well… at least they have a good timing now.' Both Kaoru and Misao thought.
Kaoru opened the door only to revealed two good-looking men standing in front of them.
'Wow… sweet.' Kaoru thought.
'Hmm… close up… this arms man ain't that bad looking after all.' Misao thought.
'Woo… I didn't know Kaoru was such a beauty… WAIT… she as always been one but this is beyond description.' Kenshin thought
'Oohh… this Kunai girl is better than I thought.' Aoshi thought.
"Erm…" Kaoru started to break the silence.
"Would the both of you move out of the place so that Misao and I can like get out of the room?" Kaoru stated while putting her hands on her hips expressing her frustration.
Soon they were out of the building and to the shopping mall.
************
At the shopping mall
The four of them went to the most elegant mall, where they sold different kinds of gowns for the ladies and suits for the guys.
"Kenshin san… Aoshi san what about looking for the suits for the both of you first… That shop over there." Kaoru said in a gentle voice as she pointed towards the shop.
Aoshi and Kenshin just followed behind the girls who were chatting happily away. When they were walking to the shop, the girls had attracted many eyes towards them especially men's eyes. But unfortunately for the men, Kenshin and Aoshi literally glared an 'Another-look-and-you-are-dead-buddy' glare. Those men immediately took the hint and continue their shopping.
Satisfied Kenshin and Aoshi started to talk to each other.
"Aoshi… did you brought your credit cards out?" Kenshin asked softly but lound enough for Aoshi to hear, as he searched for his.
"Talking about it, I think I brought them out." Aoshi went to his wallet and check.
Fortunately, they have brought them out.
"Well, it sure is a large sum to pay to call these gorgeous out." Aoshi said.
"Yap…that's the price." Kenshin replied with a sigh.
"Guys?" Kaoru asked while she stopped.
"Here's the shop for suits." Misao added curtly as usual.
"Come on! Let's go in and check it out!" Kaoru continued as she pulled them in.
*************
In the suit's shop
"Can I help you ladies?" The sales man came asking Kaoru and Misao.
"Oh… we are looking coats for them." Kaoru said while pointing towards Kenshin and Aoshi.
"Hmm… I think this will suit him." The sales man took out a black Armani coat and a black slacks and a black collar tee along with a silver tie and he handed to Kaoru.
"Wow… I think Kenshin will look great on this. Go and try it Kenshin." Kaoru said while handing the clothes to him. Kenshin could only nod and took the clothes while going to the fitting room.
"As for you..." The sales man looked at Aoshi then the sits again. He took out a dark blue Armani coat and dark blue slack with a grey collar tee along with a black tie.
"I think this will do." The sales man handed the clothes over to Misao. Then Misao walked towards Aoshi.
"I think this looks fine on you." Misao added while handing the clothes to him.
"Aa… thanks." Aoshi took the clothes and headed towards the same direction Kenshin just headed not long ago.
"Now for you ladies… follow me." The sales man beckoned for them to follow.
"I just got the right gowns for both of you." The sales man stop as the girls entered into the gown's section.
"Oh my god! They are beautiful…" Kaoru and Misao said in unison. Kaoru stepped forward to a simmering white gown as she allowed her hand to feel the fabric.
"So smooth." Kaoru could only say those words.
"A good choice there my lady… this gown is made in Italy. Isn't it the most elegant thing you have seen in your life?" The gown seems to have a life on its own. It attracted Kaoru to it. Even though no one was wearing it, the gown seem to have its own curves and elegance. Kaoru loved it.
As for Misao she fell in loved with a sparkling dark blue gown.
"Kirei…" was all Misao could say at that moment.
"Ah…That's a Good choice too. This is made in France. So do the both of you want to try it on?" The salesman asked. The both of them could only nod their head expressing agreement.
Then they followed the salesman the direction to wear the guys just went with their gowns in their hands.
When they reach there they could only found two fine looking gentlemen each in their respective clothes.
"Wow" was the words that came out of the two ladies mouth.
"So… how do I look?" Kenshin asked posing in front of Kaoru.
"You look perfect." Kaoru said with a smile on her face.
"What about me?" Aoshi asked in annoyance as he was being neglected.
Misao then walked up to him and tipped toe. And whisper into his ears.
"You look perfect too." Then she disappears into one of the fitting room. Kaoru's smile could only widen as she saw Misao slowly opening out to him. She too went into the fitting room to try on her gown.
"You two are sure very lucky." The salesman said while his eyes were fixed on the doors of the fitting room.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kenshin asked as he didn't quite understand what the salesman said.
"Aren't they your girl friends?" The sales man asked.
"You guys look matching." The sales man added.
Both Aoshi and Kenshin blushed at the terms 'girl friends', 'matching'.
"Aa…" were the words that came out of both Kenshin and Aoshi mouth.
Then they fell into awkward silence waiting for girls to come out.
******* 10 minutes later*******
The girls came out together. Misao in sparkling blue and Kaoru in simmering white. Both of the gowns they wore brought out the blue in their eyes and black in hair in their hair.
Both of the guys even the sales man stared at them, with their mouth partly opened. Misao and Kaoru looked at each other and started complimenting about each other dressing.
"Misao… you look astonishing."
"Kaoru… you look beyond imagination… you are stunning." After complimenting each other they look at the boys.
"So? How do we look?" Both Kaoru and Misao asked both Aoshi and Kenshin for their opinions.
"Kirei…" Aoshi said.
"We meant that you are both very beautiful in that dress. Would you like that to be the gown to go to Boston?" Kenshin answered and asked another question.
Both Misao and Kaoru could only nod the head. And for the first time in their trip, Misao smiled. A smile that came from her heart.
"Ok… would you please wrap those gowns up after they took it out along with these coats?" Kenshin said while handing the salesman both Aoshi and his clothes.
"Yes… sir." The salesman quickly went to the cashier. While Kaoru and Misao went to change back to their former attire. Kenshin and Aoshi just waited for them.
*************
Out of the shop
All of them had their suitable apparel and were all hungry.
All four of them were now chatting happily, even Misao stopped her rude comments about the guys and talked to them normally. They laughed their way down the road until a young boy knocked into Kaoru.
"Gomen nasai." The boy apologizes. Kaoru shook her head and patted the boys head.
"It's ok… just watch where you are running next time ne… sore ja ne…" Kaoru stood up and started to continue to walk.
"Wait…" the boy started. Kaoru turned around and looked at the small boy.
"Nani?" Kaoru asked once again kneeling in front of him.
"Are you Hitokiri Kageyuki?" Hearing her nickname she was utterly shocked so were the others.
"Who are you? Who asked you here? What do you want from me?" Kaoru stood up again and looked down towards the trembling little boy.
"Someone asked me to give you this letter… please don't kill me…" The boy started to sob.
Kaoru seeing the fear she impacted in such a young boy felt guilty. She knelt in front of him once more. Wiping away the young boy's tears. She took the letter from the boys head.
"Sorry… I didn't mean to scare you. Don't worry… no one will kill you I promise. Ne…" Kaoru smiled her sweetest smile to the young boy.
"Really?"
"Yes. And thank you for sending me this letter. Don't tell anyone about you meeting Kageyuki ok..." Kaoru added. The boy smiled as he ran away happily as he turned back and smiled to Kaoru as he waved goodbye to the fearful assassin.
Kaoru closed her eyes for a brief moment, and then she opened the letter. It read…
Hi doll,
Wooo…so you have a new boyfriend… Does he know what happen to you the past 6 years? You want me to talk to him? Oohh… if you want to meet me you have better reach the roof in 10 minutes or bye-bye…
Love,
Kojirou.
Kaoru crushed the paper as her eyes changed to the deadly cobalt blue. She was crushing the paper until her knuckles were white. She looked towards Misao.
"You brought your Kunais didn't you along with a pistol?" Kaoru asked
Misao was shocked that she knew. She barely nodded her head.
"Give them to me now."
"But…"
"This is a command Makimachi!" Kaoru said in a deadly cold serious voice that even Misao was shocked to hear.
Misao gave Kaoru her handbag, and looked down on the floor.
"I'll be attaining some business, so the three of you first go back." Kaoru turned around and started walking. Kenshin grabbed her hand.
"Who's Kojirou?" Kenshin asked out of curiosity and jealously.
"Let go of my hands now Battousai! I have no time to play with you. And this is none of your business. You have better keep your nose to yourself." Kaoru turned around to find a shocked Kenshin.
As soon as Kenshin let her go, Kaoru started to run up to the staircase and up wards to the roof.
"We've gotta stop her…" Misao started to plead them for the first time.
"Please we've gotta stop her or someone will be killed." Misao plead again. Kenshin knew what she meant and so took off towards Kaoru.
'Damned she's fast.' Kenshin thought.

Kaoru crushed the paper as her eyes changed to the deadly cobalt blue. She was crushing the paper until her knuckles were white. She looked towards Misao.
"You brought your Kunais didn't you along with a pistol?" Kaoru asked
Misao was shocked that she knew. She barely nodded her head.
"Give them to me now."
"But…"
"This is a command Makimachi!" Kaoru said in a deadly cold serious voice that even Misao was shocked to hear.
Misao gave Kaoru her handbag, and looked down on the floor.
"I'll be attaining some business, so the three of you first go back." Kaoru turned around and started walking. Kenshin grabbed her hand.
"Who's Kojirou?" Kenshin asked out of curiosity and jealously.
"Let go of my hands now Battousai! I have no time to play with you. And this is none of your business. You have better keep your nose to yourself." Kaoru turned around to find a shocked Kenshin.
As soon as Kenshin let her go, Kaoru started to run up to the staircase and up wards to the roof.
"We've gotta stop her…" Misao started to plead them for the first time.
"Please we've gotta stop her or someone will be killed." Misao plead again. Kenshin knew what she meant and so took off towards Kaoru.
'Damned she's fast.' Kenshin thought.
