Chapter 3: A Walk in the Park

"Misao-chan? What are you doing tomorrow?" Kaoru wanted to know.

"Nothing really. Why?"

"Well, I just thought maybe you could come over to the dojo and-" Kaoru was suddenly interrupted.

"train?" I don't think so Kamiya. I'm not spending my summer training."

"Mou!!" Kaoru retorted. "Is that what you were thinking? I just thought you could come over and we can go to the park. But if you'd rather train . . ."

"Don't start. And to answer your last question yes, I did think you were going to say train. Isn't that what you do most of the time? Anyway, I'd love to come, if you still want me to"

"Of course I still want you to!" Kaoru exclaimed. "So is around 11 good for you? We can go downtown and get a bite to eat before we hit the park"

"Ok, that sounds great!" The girls hung up

Kaoru decided that she better ask her father. "Daddy? Is it ok if Misao comes over tomorrow? We're going to go downtown and then to the park"

Kaoru's voice popped Kamiya-san out of his thoughts. "Of course, honey, you're growing up now, no need to ask, just let me know when you're going out"

Kaoru nodded. "Arigato, daddy!"

"Kaoru-chan, wait up!" Misao ran trying to catch up to her best friend. It was certainly a sight to see. One raven-haired girl ran through to streets of Tokyo followed by a shorter girl with her long braid bouncing on her back. In her last attempt to catch up Misao yelled, "Kendo Kick!!" and went flying in the air. Kaoru ducked and Misao flew right into a very surprised Aoshi.

"Aoshi-sama!" Misao cried. "Oh Kami-san! Gomen! Gomen nasai!"

Aoshi apparently embarrassed for losing his composure snapped back to reality. He noticed Misao, still sitting on him, leaning over him, her face just inches away from his. He groaned and heard Misao start again. "Aoshi-sama! Gomen nasai!" She helped him sit up and began to brush off the dirt. She then noticed their position and blushed. "G . . . g . . . gomen" she stammered and scrambled away from him. What was she doing?

Aoshia cleared his throat. "It's alright, Misao. I was looking for you anyway"

"You were?" Misao could hardly believe the words she was saying.

"Yeah. I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me at the Akabeko tomorrow night."

Misao merely gaped at him. Kaoru prodded her. Misao shook her head and squeaked, "I'd love to"

"Alright then, I'll pick you up at seven"

With that Aoshi left. "Oh. My. God. What just happened?" Misao was still recovering from the shock.

"Aoshi just asked you out!" Both girls squealed with delight and danced around in a circle.

------

Misao and Kaoru eventually made it to the park with out kicking anyone. Misao was stilled dazed at the shock of Aoshi finally asking her out. True they had known each other for over eight years, but Misao never knew that Aoshi returned her feelings. Wait a minute! Did he say tomorrow night? Oh Kami-sama!

"Kaoru!" she shrieked

"What is it?" Misao hardly ever shrieked

"What am I going to wear? What about my hair? Does Aoshi-sama like my braid?" Misao rambled on and on about what she should do to prepare for tomorrow night's date.

Kaoru simply laughed and said, "Don't' worry, Misao, I'll help you. And Megumi will know what to do with your hair"

Misao breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that she could count on her friends. "Kaoru? Now, that you're helping with my love life, it's time we concentrate on yours"

"Mou!" Kaoru protested.

"Maa, maa. I see the way you look at Himura . . ."

------

Aoshi rubbed his head. Misao sure knew how to kick. Aoshi secretly loved everything about Misao. It was true that Aoshi had known Misao for a number of years and his fondness of her began to grow. Tomorrow night was his opening, he planned to tell her his feelings. Wait a minute, on the first date? No, he would scare her off, he would wait until later. He stopped walking and found himself in front of the Himura residence. 'Maybe I should talk to him about Kaoru. After all, he is pretty fond of that Kamiya girl'

Aoshi stalked up to the door and knocked on it. Kenshin opened the door and Aoshi greeted him, "Hey Himura, I saw that Kamiya girl today" and walked in

"You saw Kaoru-dono? How was she? What was she wearing?" Kenshin bombarded Aoshi with questions about 'his' Kaoru-dono.

"You know something, Himura? You can drop that silly honorific. You've known her as long as I have, over three years!!"

"Sessha cannot. Sessha is not worthy of Kaoru-dono"

"Not worthy, my ass. And they think I'm dense when it comes to matters of the heart. Anyway, Misao and I are going to out tomorrow night at the Akabeko. You should go ask Kaoru too"

"Oro!! Sessha cannot!"

Aoshi merely rolled his eyes. 'Help him Kami-sama, he really needs it'

------

Well, that was it! I didn't really get to the girl talk with Kaoru and Misao or Kaoru writing another entry. I just got so carried away with this chapter. And then I though that it would be kinda cool to tell a little more about the guy's side, but I find it a little hard to write it that way, since you know, I'm a girl

Next time on 'Kaoru's Regrets, Chapter four: Girl Talk And Guys: Misao and Kaoru have a little girl talk about Kenshin, Kaoru starts her new entry and has one devastating flashback. A little more of Sano and Megumi

Teaser: 'Wow, Kaoru looks beautiful tonight. I wish I could kiss her right now' Kenshin blushed. 'What am I thinking?!?! This is Kaoru-dono I'm thinking about! She deserves so much better than me!' Kaoru saw Kenshin blush and her cheeks started to burn as well. Suddenly, Kaoru said

Hey it's sorta a cliffhanger (and in a teaser too!) At this point, Girl Talk and Guys is almost completed!

Don't forget to review! I love getting those! Arigato, minna-san!
