PART 3

Kaoru opened her eyes and looked around her. the rays of the sun welcomed her in a beautiful morning. She looked beside the sleeping form beside her. it was kenshin hugging her close and tight. She couldn't help but feel a blush forming at her cheeks. The boy beside her opened his pretty violet eyes. He smiled at her. his smile was as bright as the sun. "Ohayo gozaimasu! Kaoru-dono!"

Kaoru couldn't stop blushing "o. o.. ohayo kenshin"

"Want me to fix you breakfast?"

"Iya. no thanks but I'm still full"

Kaoru's stomach grumbled and kenshin couldn't help but laugh.

"Traitor" kaoru mumbled in her stomach

"Like I told you. I'll fix you your breakfast and get ready for school ok?"

"Ok but where's my uniform?"

"Its in the drier"

"Arigatou"

Kaoru went in the laundry room to get her uniform. Kenshin and kaoru ate their breakfast and went to the school.

"thanks kenshin for taking care of me last night"

"its my pleasure. Pick you up this afternoon?"

kaoru was very happy "yes I'll be waiting" and then she smiled and waved goodbye to him

kaoru couldn't stop herself from blushing. Misao, who was waiting for a very long time for her in the room, greeted her friend a cheerful hello.

"How's the night with himura-san?"

"Misao-chan don't think of anything. nothing happened ok"

Kaoru's inner voice replied " you liar. you did spend night with kenshin doing does lovidubby stuffs"

kaoru smiled an evil grinned. Misao, who is now really confused, gave her a what-is-it stare.

Kaoru just smiled and seated herself right beside kenshin who was reading a book.

later that afternoon

"Kaoru-chan are you going home?"

"Hai. Demo kenshin will fetch me here"

"Well ok. maybe at last my friend will have a boyfriend"

Misao gave kaoru an evil grin that gave kaoru a chill.

PEEEP. PEEEP

"lets go."

"Hai!"

And the two went away leaving misao behind

"What will I do know?" she said to herself

An icy voice appeared behind her

"Will you go home with me?"

aoshi appeared on misao's back. Misao stared deeply into his icy-blue eyes and drown herself into it and she forgotten all about answering the question for a moment.

"Ha. hai!" a blushing misao answered

And the two couple went home.

Days, months passing through them. They continue in the same old routine. Kenshin picking up karu and aoshi secretly asks misao to go with him. The two friends never even chat with each other for a very long time. Until the carnival arrived.

"it has been a long time since a carnival visited this place"

"yes. ano. kaoru-dono do you like to go to the carnival with me?"

"really? I'm happy to."

kenshin held her arm and they both walked to go to the carnival



"misao would you like to go to the carnival with me?"

misao couldn't believe her ears "is he asking me? I was the one pushing him around all the time and now he is asking me? This is great! I hope I could tell kaoru about or secret relation"

'hai!" misao flung herself into aoshi's arms and they both hugged each other tight.

at the carnival

"SUGOI! This carnival is great thank you kenshin." kaoru gave kenshin the most brightest smile. the smile that can make any cold heart melt.

"kaoru-dono would you like to go to the Ferris wheel?"

"sure!"

kenshin bought their tickets and went inside the ferris wheel.

inside the ferris wheel

"kaoru-dono here is for you" kenshin held a bouquet of flowers and a gift

kaoru blushed in a cute shade of pink and look deeply into kenshin's eyes

"a.. arigatou" she gave kenshin a kiss in the cheeks

"the ride is over!" shouted the chicken head teenager outside

"sa.sano? Why are you here?" an embarrassed kenshin asked his friend

"like I told you. you had hots for that girl and she is like that to you too"

"its not what you think of it and besides why are you here anyway?"

" it's a sideline"

"tori-atama where are you?" a sly looking woman appeared at her back

"megumi why.? And how.? Did you find me?"

" the place is covered with stupid people and I thought I could find you here! Gomen ken-san for letting this bakemono out."

"it okay megumi-san. arigatou we'll be going now."

Kenshin and kaoru bowed at them respectfully and went on their way.

(bumped)

"misao and aoshi?"

kaoru asked in confusion "why are you here and why are you two holding hands?"

misao couldn't reply

"are you two are like lovers?" kaoru asked

"yes' an icy voice reply

"congratulations!" kaoru hugged her friend so tight that made her choke

"arigatou kaoru-chan. Gomen for not telling you"

"its okay I understand"

"is there any progress with himura-san yet"

kenshin, who was busy reading a book(pretending not to hear her crush's conversation) blushed.

"iya! Its not like what you think! We are just friends"

"don't you think you can lie to me. I know you very well"

"well I hope that its like what you think but we are still friends really"

kaoru looked at him with sad eyes.
