AUTHORS NOTES: Hi again.. Yup this is my third ficcy. it's much more different compared to my other two fics - Assassin's of Love and Akai Tsuki. This ficcy as you have read in the summary it is a kxk fic. but hardly Battousai makes an appearance. i can't say that Kenshin is a rurouni here. but he has an attitude like the rurouni well. except for the 'unworthy' part. So please R&R. Do tell me how you feel about it. Arigatou Gozaimasu ^_^x

"What is it?" Kenshin asked in a casual tone although he found Jun held a very strong hostility at him suddenly.
"Hey. we have a rule here. the new bird who shares this big nest of ours will have to treat us a drink an sing a song in the club on the first day of work. Kaoru's eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets. It was not because of the treating part but the singing part. She hadn't sing in years.
"Kaoru has a great voice, I think she can do it. when we were in School, we went to the karaoke and she sings PERFECTLY!" Misao beamed as she winks at Kaoru.
"EH?" Kaoru just pout her mouth and looked at the floor finding her boots interesting for a little while. This was definitely going to be a longgggg day. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
"Mou! Do I have to go?" Kaoru tried to reason with Kenshin but starting to see him spacing off.
"Kenshin?" Kaoru called out to him and waved her hand in front of him. Kenshin snapped out of his stupor and started smiling again.
"You said anything?" Kaoru just pout her face.
'She's so cute when she does that'
"Do I have to go?? To the club.. Treating is fine. but. can I skip the singing part?" Kaoru look at him with those puppy eyes. She learnt it from Kaori. hahaha.
"Aa. that's the rule. You'll get to meet other people as well." Kenshin said patting her head. Kaoru just sighed and continue with her work.
'Oh... well... it's not like I have a very bad voice. might as well go with the flow.'
=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=
They were now in the pub named 'Ice'. It is the most popular pub in their region. The place was full of couples dancing to the music. The small stage for their daily singing competition was in the middle. The disco light shone to every part of the pub.
Kaoru was new among their group. So she was kinda left out in their activities. A long hair lady named Megumi was talking away Tokio. While her high school mate was talking with of course with Kaoru and Misao's senpai Shinomori Aoshi. While Kenshin was talking with the other guys. She felt alone suddenly. She sighed inwardly till a hand tap on her shoulder. It was Jun.
"Yo. you haven't talked a lot. Having problems gathering together?" He asked her. Kaoru being the sort that doesn't want to worry others shook her head and smiled.
"I'm just tired." She said while taking a sip from her vodka.
"I heard from Kenshin that you were amazing about the job the both of you just had."
"Iie, I'm not that good. Kenshin's just exaggerating things."
"You seem to have known him quite some time now."
"Eh. we met each other in the park."
"So. I guess you met the little devil too didn't you?" Kaoru just giggled as Jun sat closer to her.
"You meant Kenichirou don't you. I have a husky too. same species as Kenichirou. Her name is Kaori." Kaoru finish with a smile while Jun winced a bit.
"Dog lover?"
"Hai!" Kaoru beamed.
Jun nod his head as he sighed inwardly.
"Kaoru. erm. I just wanna ask you erm.. whatdoyouthinkabout me?" Jun said as he looked away from Kaoru. Talking to fast, Kaoru could hardly hear it with the blasting music.
"Gomen. can you repeat the question?" Kaoru said while move closer to Jun as she could not hear him.
"I asked. what do you-" Jun's sentences was being cut off by the host from the stage.
"The singing competition shall start now! Any starters?" The man said while scanning the area.
Kaoru and the rest stopped talking and looked at the stage. Misao, Tokio, Megumi and the rest of the gang winked at each other as they gave Kaoru an evil grin. Kaoru backed away as she senses something wrong. VERY wrong.
"What." Before Kaoru could finish her question. The gang immediately shouted out.
"HAI!!! Here's one. Her name is Kamiya Kaoru. Over Here!!!" Kaoru's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
"What? What are all of you doing?" Kaoru asked as she swallows a lump.
"Okay! May, Kamiya Kaoru please come up and sing a song for us." The man at the stage started to chant her name and slowly followed on by the whole crowd of people with cheers going on.
"Come on Jou chan. go up and show off your beautiful voice." Sano joked as he laughed.
"Yeah! It's our tradition!" the boy who JUST loves to smile named Soujirou encourage.
"Kaoru, you can do it!" Misao beamed.
"Or are you just afraid that you don't have the voice?" Megumi challenged.
"I. I." Kaoru started to panic. Yes... She had sing before. her high school friends had told umpteen of times that she had a beautiful voice. but she couldn't believe it. Kaoru looked at Kenshin hoping that he would save her.
"Ken. shin." Kaoru look at him pleadingly.
"Kaoru. everybody is waiting. why not you go up like. now?" Kenshin said encouragingly. He wanted to hear her voice badly. Although that he had known her for only two days. it felt like he had known her forever. His mind had refused to get Kaoru off it since the day they met. He even sees Kaoru in his dream. Worst of it all, he dreamt that they were kissing each other in a dimly lighted room. GOD! What was he thinking this few days?
'Is this what love is all about? If it is. I think I'm falling in love with a certain blue eye girl.' Kenshin thought to himself.
Kaoru was soon up to the stage. She selected the song she wanted to sing. The music started playing she took a deep breath and started.
my heart says we've got something real
cannot trusts the way i feel
coz my heart's been fooled before
am i just seeing what i want to see
or is it true? could u really be... Kaoru opened her eyes and looked at the crowd in front of her. They were all dumbstruck by her voice.
someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
i need to know before i fall in love
someone who'll stay around
through all my ups and downs
please tell me now
before i fall in love... Her eyes unexpectedly look straight into gentle purple hue. She continued.
i'm at the point of no return
so afraid of getting burned
but i wanna take a chance
oh please give me a reason to believe
say you're the one
that you'll always be... someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
i need to know before i fall in love
someone who'll stay around
through all my ups and downs
please tell me now
before i fall in love...
She poured all her emotion into the song. She knew that she had liked Kenshin at the first sight. He was such a handsome guy. Who wouldn't? He might have a girl friend already. She guessed that she couldn't voice out her feelings straight forward so she decided to use this song.
it's been so hard for me to give my heart away
but i would give my everything just to hear you say... someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
i need to know before i fall in love
someone who'll stay around
through all my ups and downs
please tell me now
Kaoru felt her heart pounding faster as shades of red overcome her face. Kenshin himself felt like the song was sung for him. Those deep blue eyes kept their gaze on him. He felt butterflies in his stomach. Was it really sung for him?
before i fall in love... before i fall in love...
Kaoru finished the song. She cracked open one of her eyelids to see the whole crowds stun. Kaoru stood up from her place and bow to the crowd. Suddenly the room filled with cheers and applause. She went down the stairs and went back to her seat.
"Kaoru. you were amazing!! I didn't thought you could sing. I mean. I know you could sing but. not that good." Misao said as she clapped her hands
"Yeah jou chan that was one hell of a voice."
"That was very smooth and nice Kaoru chan." Jun added as he smiled at her which made her blush deeper. Kaoru then look at Kenshin hopefully he would say something like. God I like you! But who was she kidding. sheesh. she was definitely desperate.
"That was very beautiful Kaoru." Kenshin said as he smiled at her. Kaoru suddenly had the urged to ask him. The song or me? But she suppressed the feeling and went to sit back to her original seat. She packed her bag and stood up.
"Gomen ne.. minna san. I would pay you off the money tomorrow.. I have to go back now. Gomen."
"You are going already?" Kenshin and Jun stood up and ask in unison.
"Hai. I have to get up early tomorrow for Kaori's sake ne. Sore Ja." Kaoru bid them goodbye but was stop by Kenshin.
"I'll send you home. Bye minna san." As he took his bag and went out with Kaoru.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The alarm clock rang. Kaoru covered her head over the quilt. But she knew peace was soon over. In the next moment, Kaori came into the room with her Frisbee in her mouth and jumped on her bed.
"Kaori. can we skip today?" Kaoru said pleadingly as she covered the quilt over her head again. Kaori just pull the quilt away from Kaoru with her mouth.
*No! You have to go TODAY!*
"Mou. Kaori. please." Kaoru tried pleading with Kaori again but was confronted with teary puppy eyes. Kaoru sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, okay. after I change we go to the park okay?" Kaoru said as she got up and went to the bathroom to change and to do what's necessary. She was out of the house in minutes with Kaori along her side.
As usual, they went to their favorite spot of the park under a sakura tree. Kaoru let out a sigh again as she threw the Frisbee in the air only to be caught swiftly by. Kenichirou?
"Kenichirou?" Kaoru's question was answered with a bark from Kenichirou who sat in front of her with the Frisbee in his mouth. Seconds later, Kenshin appeared trying to catch his breath.
"Kao.. ru?" Kenshin said in between his breath.
"Hai." Kaoru smiled as they once again settle under the sakura tree. Kenichirou also went to Kaori's side and sat beside her.
*So. what's up?*
*Okay. Have you erm. notice anything strange about your Kenshin master?* Kaori ask as she eyed both Kenshin and Kaoru who were sitting very close to each other. Both their shoulders were touching each other. She could see that Kaoru had like this Kenshin's company a lot. It's not like she's jealous of the loss of attention but. she was more afraid if this Kenshin guy wasn't the so call 'destiny guy' for Kaoru. She hated to see Kaoru cry. She had seen enough when Kaoru's parents had been taken away from her forcefully without her permit through an accident.
*Well. strange you say. now to think about it. he IS kinda strange. Hiko scolded him 'baka deshi' as always. but instead of retorting back as usual he smiled at Hiko which made the both of us freaked out immediately. And when Hiko told Kenshin to go down the street and buy him his sake. instead of whining like what he had always did he. he smiled and even used his own money to buy it. He had even smiled in his dream and called out a person's name during his sleep. To think of it. he IS strange this few days.*
*Who did he call?*
*Erm. if I'm not wrong it's Kao. Kaoru. He even said sorry.* Kenichirou finished as he looked at Kaori.
[I guess there is no harm trying to patch this two up. Kaoru had been calling Kenshin's name too. maybe. maybe he is the one.] Kaori thought.
*Kenichirou. I need your help. Maybe we could patch your master up with mine?* Kaori said as she blink her eyes a few times.
[Hmm. If Kaoru goes with Kenshin. that means that. Kaori will be joining in too. and. Kaori. I would be able to be with Kaori. and.. Then. I will show her my 'man' side. hahaha~] Kenichirou thought triumphantly. Without thinking he agreed with Kaori and started planning.
"Kenshin no baka." Kaoru giggled as she playfully whack him on the head. Since Kenshin expected it he dodged the hit and this caused Kaoru to fall on his body. Kenshin having a built body supported her without falling with unbalance. Kaoru blushed at the contact. This was the first time she felt Kenshin's chest right under her palms. Kaoru looked up from his chest to his face. Their faces were only inches away from each other. They could feel each other's breath on their faces. She could see that Kenshin was blushing too from the corner of her eye.
It could be compared to the color of his hair. Her blue eyes were locked with gentle purple hue but. she could find a glint of amber in it.
Was that love, lust?
Kenshin still had his hands around Kaoru's waist as he caught her when she fell on him. His eyes fell onto the pink rosy full lips which Kaoru has. He couldn't bear the torture anymore. he lean in. Even if he was going to get a tight slap after the kiss, he couldn't give the slap a damn anymore. all he want and need now. is the lady in front of him.
On the other side, Kenichirou and Kaori had been shocked that everything happen so fast yet. the 'going to kiss' part was definitely to slow. Kenichirou gave Kaori a wink in the eye as they approach Kenshin and Kaoru silently and got to the back of their masters respectively.
Kaoru saw that Kenshin was closing in the distance and those strong arms around her waist held on to her tighter. Se couldn't deny it. she liked the feeling.
'It's wrong! We shouldn't be doing this. we hardly even know each other. but it feels so. so right. I do love him. I told myself that since yesterday. Maybe he loves me too? I do hope so. I guess this little kiss won't do much harm ne.' Kaoru closed her eyes and await the incoming lips. But it never came. She cracked open one of her eyes. Kenshin had stopped in mid way his lips only millimeters away from hers.
"Kaoru. we. shouldn'-"
*Oh no you don't back away now.. Kenshin.* Kenichirou said as he pushed Kenshin from the back and Kaori pushing Kaoru from the back causing the both of them having lips contact.
Kenshin eyes widen at the contact. But soon got used to it. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her deeper.
Kaoru soon entwine her hands behind Kenshin. This was her first kiss, she didn't know how to do it. Kenshin guided her slowly. Soon she had her own way of kissing. Kenshin licked her mouth coaxing her to open it so that he could taste her. But everything nice has to come to an end. Soon they broke the kiss and gasp for air.
"Kenshin. you. you were."
"Great?" Kenshin asked as he grinned at her.
"Fat hope!"
*That went well!* Kaori beamed as Kenichirou went closer to Kaori.
*You think that we could do that to?* Kenichirou asked as he looked at his paw finding it interesting for that moment.
But soon. another paw covered over his. It belongs to Kaori.
"Kaoru. erm. I know this might sound crazy or that it may sound that I'm a playboy or so. but. I think that I have fallen in love with you since the day we met. can. I. I. have the honor to ask you to be my partner for love then work? And. are you free tomorrow night?" Kenshin said while looking away from Kaoru to hide his blush. Kaoru just giggled. Shock as she was. she couldn't deny that she felt something very special towards him.
"I would love too. and about tomorrow night. I am free, why not you come my house and let's have dinner. bring along Kenichirou too." Kaoru smiled as she got up from Kenshin's lap.
"Gotta go. thanks for the beautiful experience. see you in work. dar.. ling." Kaoru chirped as he got up and kiss his forehead and left along with Kaori.
"Kenichirou. did she just call me what I thought it was?" Kenshin thought as he trace the part of his forehead where Kaoru kissed.
*Baka~*
TBC..

On the other side, Kenichirou and Kaori had been shocked that everything happen so fast yet. the 'going to kiss' part was definitely to slow. Kenichirou gave Kaori a wink in the eye as they approach Kenshin and Kaoru silently and got to the back of their masters respectively.
Kaoru saw that Kenshin was closing in the distance and those strong arms around her waist held on to her tighter. Se couldn't deny it. she liked the feeling.
'It's wrong! We shouldn't be doing this. we hardly even know each other. but it feels so. so right. I do love him. I told myself that since yesterday. Maybe he loves me too? I do hope so. I guess this little kiss won't do much harm ne.' Kaoru closed her eyes and await the incoming lips. But it never came. She cracked open one of her eyes. Kenshin had stopped in mid way his lips only millimeters away from hers.
"Kaoru. we. shouldn'-"
*Oh no you don't back away now.. Kenshin.* Kenichirou said as he pushed Kenshin from the back and Kaori pushing Kaoru from the back causing the both of them having lips contact.
Kenshin eyes widen at the contact. But soon got used to it. He pulled her onto his lap and kissed her deeper.
Kaoru soon entwine her hands behind Kenshin. This was her first kiss, she didn't know how to do it. Kenshin guided her slowly. Soon she had her own way of kissing. Kenshin licked her mouth coaxing her to open it so that he could taste her. But everything nice has to come to an end. Soon they broke the kiss and gasp for air.
"Kenshin. you. you were."
"Great?" Kenshin asked as he grinned at her.
"Fat hope!"
*That went well!* Kaori beamed as Kenichirou went closer to Kaori.
*You think that we could do that to?* Kenichirou asked as he looked at his paw finding it interesting for that moment.
But soon. another paw covered over his. It belongs to Kaori.
"Kaoru. erm. I know this might sound crazy or that it may sound that I'm a playboy or so. but. I think that I have fallen in love with you since the day we met. can. I. I. have the honor to ask you to be my partner for love then work? And. are you free tomorrow night?" Kenshin said while looking away from Kaoru to hide his blush. Kaoru just giggled. Shock as she was. she couldn't deny that she felt something very special towards him.
"I would love too. and about tomorrow night. I am free, why not you come my house and let's have dinner. bring along Kenichirou too." Kaoru smiled as she got up from Kenshin's lap.
"Gotta go. thanks for the beautiful experience. see you in work. dar.. ling." Kaoru chirped as he got up and kiss his forehead and left along with Kaori.
"Kenichirou. did she just call me what I thought it was?" Kenshin thought as he trace the part of his forehead where Kaoru kissed.
*Baka~*
