At the Kamiyas' house-6:30 pm


"Kaoru! Where have you been?"yelled Mrs. Kamiya as Kaoru entered the house.

"Sorry mom. I went over to Megumi's house and Misao was there and we were practicing some routines for the Competition in 1 more month mom. I guess I forgot to call he he he,"replied Kaoru.

(Sigh) "Kaoru, when are you going to remember? I was worried sick! You better call next time or you'll be grounded and I won't be excepting anymore excuses. Your grades are down to a B- and your constantly doing nothing but coming over to your friends' houses or to parties or they're coming over here, waiting last minute to do your homework, skipping chores, and the more I think about it the more it shames me."

"Oh come on mom! Some of us like to have fun while we're still young!"

"Yes but too much fun is what worries me."

"Hey mom can we eat now? I'm hungry,"announced Yahiko. (Kaoru's 12 year old brother)

"Yeah sure. Set the table Kaoru,"replied Mrs.Kamiya.

"Oh sorry mom! I gotta do homework and stuff! Can Yahiko do it?"

"I'd rather eat with my fingers then do another thing that you were ordered to do. Don't you know I have been doing your chores for you?"

"Oh come on! Please??"begged Kaoru with the puppy dawgg pout. Now who could resist that?

"No!!"replied Yahiko looking annoyed. Obviously he can resist it.

"Fine. I'll do it geesh!"said Kaoru while setting out the forks and spoons and stuff.

"Thank you Kaoru,"said Mrs.Kamiya in exasperation.


Next day, Kobayashi's Highschool, Mr. Kamadeki's 11th grade class room


"Ok class. What I want you to do today is work on the project that I gave you yesterday. Remember that you have one month to finish this so get working on it with your partner,"announced Mr. Kamadeki in a bored voice then turned to his laptop. Sounds like he's instant messenging someone.


"Um hi Kenshin! How are you doing?"asked Kaoru politely.

"I am fine Miss Kaoru. How about you?"replied Kenshin.

"You don't have to call me Miss Kaoru. Just call me Kaoru!"

"Um ok Miss Kaoru."


"Never mind (chuckle) So what do you want to do our project and report on?"

"Whatever you would like Miss Kaoru. I don't mind."

"Um your not making this any easier! (Chuckle)So would you be okay if our project was on like looks?"said Kaoru. 'Oh my gosh what did I just say?!'

"Oh If you would like Miss Kaoru,"replied Kenshin turning red. No not just red, really red.

"Oh um well how about like we take someone, totally transform them and then we can um say see other's reactions and then um we can see if looks really matter in life and um oh I'm so sorry if I might have hurt your feelings. ."said Kaoru who felt that the conversation was getting worse every time she speaks a word.

"Oh no its ok Miss Kaoru. I get used to it."

"Well ok. How about we go over to my house and work on it? I mean no use doing it at school or anything."

"Ok Miss Kaoru. My schedule cooperates with that."replied Kenshin while thinking 'Just another girl who judges people based on looks.'

"Ok. So who would you like to transform?"asked Kaoru.

"I know what your thinking Miss Kaoru. I wouldn't mind being the one 'transformed'. Whatever you want,"replied Kenshin calmly as though he didn't care very much.

"Um ok,"said Kaoru.
