Authors Note:
Hey it's me again. I'm here to write the second chapter. This is one is going to be where Kaoru starts to get freaked out by what the boys are doing. But she loves all the extra attention.

BTW: I am backing it up a little to go threw the dinner. It's really cute.

That Magic Day
Chapter 2: Ok! This is odd!

Kaoru was sitting down next to Kenshin to eat. She wasn't really sure but eating with Kenshin alone was a little strange. 'But it's in a good way.' She thought to herself. She looked over at him and tried to lighten the mood, "So Kenshin, what do you want?"

"Anything! I'm starving, that I am!" Kenshin said rubbing his stomach. He had his usual grin on. She love that smile. It was so cute. She brought the food over and started get the plates together. But Kenshin, being a gentleman, said, "Here. Since you cooked, let me serve." He then grabbed her hand to pull it away and both blushed at the contact.

"Well, ok? If you want?" Kaoru said as she sat back down. Kenshin got the plates together and sat down. During dinner Kaoru remembered that her desert was done and went to get it. When she got back, Kenshin found that it was his favorite "Chocolate covered strawberries?" He asked.

"Yeah? Don't you like strawberries? I thought that we could try them."

"Like them? I love them, that I do! But you haven't ever had them." He said as Kaoru sat down and put the plate between them. She turned to him.

"No why? Are they good?"

"Good? They are great! Here try." He said as he picked up a strawberry, then dipped it into the chocolate. He brought it to her mouth but she was hesitant. "Come on, they are good." She opened her mouth and took a bite. But she noticed that Kenshin was starting to chuckle.

"Whats so funny?"

"Um... you. Miss Kaoru, you have chocolate on you chin, that you do." He said as he wiped it off.

"Oh is that so, well then here." She said as she dipped her finger into the melted chocolate dotted his nose with it.

"So, that's how you want to play huh?" He asked as he got a strawberry, dipped it in chocolate and smeared her face with it, and finally ate it. "You know, Miss Kaoru you really should get a bath, you're coved in chocolate, that you are." All she did was give him a smile and he smiled back.

Meanwhile, outside the kitchen door:

"Come on, kiss her! KISS HER KENSHIN!" Sonosuke was whispering.

"You realize that that is very nasty. If I were Kenshin, I would find a girl that was cuter."

~*~
Back in the kitchen:

Kenshin was looking at her and started to lean in, as did Kaoru. And just as their lips were about to touch they here, "Will you shut-up! They are going to here us."

"I still say Kenshin could find someone cuter."

"YOU SAY WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaoru screamed as she burst out of the kitchen door. She looked around for Yahiko and started to chase him down.

"I don't think he'll ever learn."

"I don't think so either!" Kenshin said as he watched the two run around the dojo's courtyard.

"Where did you come from? And why do you and Kaoru have chocolate on you faces?"

"Well she made Chocolate covered strawberries for us and we kinda got carried away in a little chocolate fight, that's all." Kenshin said tying not to blush but he could feel his face heat up.

"Ah, so I see that you two were really get close in there huh? Not that I could blame you, I mean you're a man and men do those things. Just I'm with Yahiko, Why Kaoru?" And after Sano had said that he was meet with a large lump on the back of the head. After everyone had gotten about three lumps from Kaoru, the girls got their play time in with their uncle Kenny and Aunt Kaoru, they were in bed, she was cleaned up and after everyone had lied down for the night did Kaoru even think of going out for a little walk. The wind blew with the scent of wild flowers, and the moon was full giving everything a hinge of blue. It was very beautiful. She went out of the Dojo's yard down a small path to a stream that was nearby. "This is so peaceful, wonder why Kenshin isn't here? I usually see him walk this way. Hmm, he must be too tired to night. Oh well." Kaoru sighed; she was really hoping to see Kenshin there. Not seeing him, she came back to the dojo. 'I might as well get some sleep.' But as she walked in the door, she was meet by three sets of eyes.

"Where were you Miss Kaoru, we were worried!"

"Yeah Ugl-err Mistress. We were worried." But everyone look at Yahiko.

'When did he start to call me Mistress?'

Sano, snapping out of it, look at her, "Yeah, you could at least tell us that you were leaving!"

"Well as you can see I'm fine, so go to bed!" She started to walk back to her room. 'That's so weird; they were so... so... so nice. ...I like it!' She grinned wickedly.,. She then noticed that Kenshin was behind her. "What Kenshin?"

"I just wanted to know... are you sure your ok?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Why?"

"Because... you normally don't leave the dojo at night, and I seen you walking to the stream. I thought that you would...try...to..." Kenshin 'TRIED' to say but having trouble finding the words.

'Geez, give him a sword and he's a graceful swordsman, but give him emotions to speak about and he's a bumbling idiot.' Kaoru thought to herself, "I'm fine Kenshin. I just needed a walk. Trust me." She said and put a hand to his face and cupped his face. "I'm fine." She said once more looking into his eyes. She then gave him a little hug and a peck on the cheek and entered her room, leaving a stunned Samaria behind. 'I love the mind games I play.' She thought as she lied down to sleep. 'Oh yeah. Tomorrow is going to be fun!'

The next morning started as usual, Kaoru woke up to the smell of Kenshins food cooking and the screams of Sano and Yahiko. "Well, I know that last night was a dream." She said to herself as she got up. She grabbed her towel wrapped a bathrobe around her and headed for the bathhouse. 'I hope the water was warmed up. I told Kenshin that if he got up before me to warm the water up for me.' She walked into the room to find steam everywhere. "Geez! I told him to warm it up, not to make a sauna."

"Miss Kaoru?" Came a voice.

"Kenshin? I thought you were making breakfast?"

"Nope! Sonosuke and little Yahiko are! Do wish to join me?"

"Kenshin no hentai!!!" She screamed as she hurled pots soaps and different objects at him.

"I was only meaning to scrub you back. I'm not even in the tub. *BAM* Oro!" went a swirled eyed Kenshin.

'Ok that was weird.' Kaoru thought as her bath progressed. She got out dressed and headed to the kitchen. "What are we havin-" she stopped short at what she saw. "Tofu? Wait. Kenshin? I thought that you said Sano and Yahiko were cooking?"

"That I did, and that is what they made for you."

"Well, it looks great guys thanks."

"Your welcome, Kaoru."

"Your welcome, Mistress."

'Ok, so it wasn't a dream. Weird... But I love it.' She beamed.
