Chapter 3
Kaoru awoke to the sunlight streaming through the open window. Kenshin had woken up earlier and had opened the window to get a breeze to come through so the room wouldn't be quite so hot come afternoon.
Kaoru stretched and looked around the room for her clothes. I could have sworn I put them right over here. She looked all over her room for her closes that she discarded last night. She couldn't seam to find them but what she did find was an obi and a kimono folded on the stack of books that Kenshin slept agents. She walked over to them and read the note that was on top of them.
Kaoru Here are some clothes for you to where to day.
Kaoru picked up the navy blue obi. She noticed it was thinner than most obis but it would do. She then picked up the forest green kimono and held it up to her...
*********************
Kenshin sat in the dining hall eating his breakfast and ignoring Iizuka and the other men. They were once again talking about their night with the women again.
Just then Kenshin herd the door at the other end of the room slide open with a bang. He didn't bather to look up, thinking that it was just some one with a hang over who had just woken up. He heard the person stomping toward him. Still he did not look up.
He did not look up until he heard "KENSHIN NO HENTAI," yelled in his ear. He saw an irate Kaoru standing over him. He took a moment to look her over. Her hair was brushed and up in a neat ponytail, she was wearing a blue obi and a green kimono. The catch was her kimono was cut about two inches above her mid thigh.
Kenshin just looked her in the eye and went back to eating.
"What is this?" Kaoru said as she pointed to the top kimono she was wearing.
"Those would be your breasts," said Iizuka who was sitting about 8 people away from where she stood and looking lustfully at her. The rest of the room broke out in laughter.
"What?" Kaoru said hotly.
"Your boobs" Iizuka said still laughing.
Kaoru started to stomp over to Iizuka but was stopped when she felt something tug on her ankle. She braced her self for the fall, but it never came. Kenshin had grabbed Kaoru's waist at the last moment. He stood her up on her and turned her a round so her back was to him. Then he gabbed hold of her shoulders and steered her out of the room.
Once they were in the hall Kenshin said " Katsura a picked out the clothes. We're going to go talk to him."
They entered the room where Katsura was "Katsura why do I have to where this?" said Kaoru "I feel like a hoe."
"We need you to where that for your safety. It a ninja outfit. If people think you're a ninja they wont think you have any thing to do with us. Besides if they see you with Himura that will take any suspicion off of him." Katsura stated.
"What makes you think I'll be seen with him." Kaoru rebut.
"You are not to leave this inn with out him."
"WHAT?" yelled the two teens.
"It's for your safety Kaoru. You need his protection."
"But if can protect my self. I've mastered the Kamiya Kashin Ryu. I can take car of my self."
" I know you can but you father asked me to protect you an this is the best way I see fit."
"Fine," grumbled Kaoru.
"You will take care of her Himura, ne?"
"Hai," Kenshin said with out a trace of emotion.
"You see Katsura he is an ice cube. He is so boring." Stated Kaoru "I'll die of hypothermia or boredom. I hardly call that safe"
Katsura just chuckled at her comment "I assure you Himura is perfectly safe. Now why don't you to the market and find some more ninjutsu kimonos."
Kenshin and kaoru just walked out of the them room grumbling to them selves.
****************
Kenshin stood across the street from the shop Kaoru was in. he had a pile of 3 kimonos that Kaoru had bought. He watched as Kaoru fought with the shop owner about how the kimonos were to short or the color was to dark and why cant they longer prettier kimonos. Just then Iizuka came up to him.
"She is beautiful isn't she? It's hard to believe she is only 15 with a body like that. So... did you guys play around last night? I herd noises coming from your room. Is she good?" Iizuka rambled on
Kenshin gave him an annoyed look.
"Sorry did mean to hit a nerve. So if she is not yours can i play with her?" Iizuka gave a cocky grin.
"No" Kenshin said curtly.
Just then Kaoru came up to them with one more kimono.
" I'm all done. I don't want to put up with another baka shop owner." Kaoru said with a scowl.
"Lets go back," said Iizuka.
Kenshin handed Iizuka the pile of kimonos and turned around. "I'm going for a walk. Iizuka take her back."
They stood there for a moment and watched Kenshin walk off into the crowed until they couldn't see him any more.
"Damn it. I forgot to give him it," said Iizuka.
"Give him what?" Kaoru asked. Iizuka just ignored her question.
" Come on I know where he's going. Follow me."
Kaoru followed Iizuka though the crowed in the direction Kenshin had gone. She had no idea where she was being lead but she was not ready to go back to the inn and plus she was kind of curious to see where the hitokiri was going. So she followed.
********************
Kenshin swam around in the small lake. This was his place to come and think. He stopped swimming to look back at his clothes that he had left on the shore. Normally he wouldn't swim but to day was different. It was a humid day in late spring so it was farley hot. But that wasn't the reason for Kenshin's little swim. Kaoru was. His encounters with her were becoming overwalming. She was a spunky girl whit deep blue eyes that bore right into you. Mmm...her eyes. He fount every thing about her to be flawless. Her raven hair, her lush pink lips even her fair skin. Why do i keep thinking of her? I think its because you like her. Said another voice in his head
What? I do not. I just met her how can i like her?
Love at first sight
Ha! I doubt it.
Oh really? Then what is it.
Nothing
mmm...sure
Really. I mean sure she is drop dead gorgeous and everything, but I am a man. What do you expect?
No comment.
I do not like her!
Whatever
I don't!!!
Fine. you don't like her. But you are crazy.
What? I am not crazy
You're talking to the voice in your head. That's not normal.
Kenshin had swum to where the water came to his waist and stood. He smacked the water out of frustration, sending a wave of water the other direction. He racked a hand through his wet hair as he started for the shore. He heard a soft giggle up ahead of him. He looked to see Kaoru and Iizuka standing buy his clothes.
Kaoru was trying hard not to stair at the seen ahead of her. There stood a naked Battousai, hair let lose, dripping wet, and water up to his hips barely covering what need to be covered.
Iizuka saw Kenshin blush for a moment before his face turned passive again.
"What do you want?" demanded Kenshin as he stood in his same spot in the water, never moving.
Iizuka walked over to Kenshin's clothes and set something inside of them. "I just forgot to give you something. That's all," said Iizuka as he turned and walked away. "Would you take the girl back for me? I've got to do something" he called back over his shoulder before he disappeared into the forest.
Kaoru was going to protest but decided quickly that being with a naked Battousai is better than a rat faced Iizuka any day. It was kind of hot today. Maybe I'll take a little swim while I'm here. Kaoru walked over to the bushed so she could remove her kimono in privacy.
Kenshin looked up and found no Kaoru. He figured she had run off so she could demand Iizuka take her home. She hates me so much she cant even stand to be a round me. What do I care? Its not like I like her. She is just a pain in the ass. Kenshin reached the shore and walked over to his clothes. All of a sudden he herd whistling behind him and some one called out:
"Cute butt Himura!"
Kenshin spun around on his heel to find the source of the 'cat call' standing in the water. He was so shocked he stood there for a moment frozen in place. Kaoru. At firs he was embarrassed but that quickly turned in to anger. Forgetting his state of undress, Kenshin stalked towards kaoru. Kaoru saw the gleam of revenge in his eyes. She turned around and dove under the water.
When she resurfaced a few yards later she looked around for Kenshin, but saw him nowhere. All of a sudden she felt something wrap around her ankle.

AN: omg. I cannot believe all you guys reviewed. I feel so loved. And I love all my reviewers. Any way a lot of you guys have commented on how funny this story is. My initial reaction was 'they actually think this is funny?' But then I thought that's normal for me to be funny but it is usually at the expense of my dignity. (I tend to humiliate my self a lot.) So this is a pleasant change of events. But when I said this was going to be a drama I meant it. It will start to get depressing later in the story. Just to warn you. Don't worry I'll still continue with the comedy so you guys don't get depressed and do something like kill yourself. (But if you must kill yourself use a Japanese katana) j/k. any way there will be a fair amount of sexual/romantic tension through out the story. Have I all ready told you this? Any way (I seam to be saying that a lot) I know I've been updating a lot lately but I have a feeling I'm going to get my computer taken a way from me soon. So just to let you know if I don't up date it's because I don't have my computer. Any way (there i go again) thanks 4 reading. Luv ya lots. R&R
