Hi again this is Chapter 4 of Fallen Sakura! I would like to thank all my reviewers so please continue reviewing! I don't own any characters! So please do not sue, I am a financially deprived author who doesn't even own a computer. So own with the story!

"So this is our new home," Kaoru stated.

            "Ah." Aoshi picked her up and brought her over the threshold. "What can I say; I'm a stickler for tradition." The newlyweds looked around their new apartment. It was fully furnished and had everything they would need. On the walls were pictures of themselves. There were photos from their wedding day, on the beach, at a ski resort, and one of them embracing.

            "The lab guys did a good job making these photos up, don't you think?"

            "Ah," was the answer she was given.

            "Why aren't you talking to me? What's wrong?" she asked concerned.

            "You see there is only one bed."

            "I don't see a problem in that. We are married besides all we are doing is sleep," said the sapphire-eyed woman.

            "No it's not that but…" Aoshi hesitated but continued in a whisper. "I sleep nude." Kaoru turned ten different shades of red when she heard this new fact.

            "Umm… well that is a problem. You will just have to wear boxers for now. No objections." She was becoming embarrassed discussing the topic so she decided to change it. "We better start unpacking kitten."

            "Kitten? Where did you get that one?" asked the ice blue eyed man. He was grateful for the change of subject.

            "When you sleep, you purr just like a kitten. So that is my new nickname for you, kitten," she said in a cheery tone. Aoshi blushed but came back with a nickname of his own for her.

            "If I'm kitten then I'm calling you cherry blossom or angel." Kaoru froze when he said cherry blossom and murmured the word Sakura. Her reaction struck him as odd. "I think cherry blossom and angel suit you well. You smell like blossoms and look like an angel."

            "Call me angel but not cherry blossom," she said in a hushed voice. "Hey look the sun is setting. We have a great view from the terrace." Hearing her abrupt change in subject, he decided not to press it any further.

            "Yes it is truly beautiful my angel," he said.

            She leaned back into his chest and they watched the sun set together. "Tomorrow we have to buy clothes and check out the White Dragon Casino," whispered Kaoru.

            "Ah we should. We better go to bed now to recover from the jet lag." They agreed and went to prepare themselves for bed. They were both nervous to see the other in nightclothes. Aoshi wore a pair of blue smiley face boxers. She could clearly see his well-defined muscles.

            'He looks so cute in those boxers. He is so built.' She thought while she was drooling over him. She wore a light blue silk nightgown with thin straps. It was modest but still showed her curves nicely.

            'She looks good enough to eat. Why are my heart racing and my stomach in knots when I see her? I've seen more beautiful women but something about her makes my knees weak.' Aoshi pushed his thoughts aside and blamed it on the airplane food.

            They slipped into bed after their goodnights and stayed on their respective sides. The newlyweds talked about their mission for another hour before falling into a blissful sleep.

            Aoshi awoke to the smell of breakfast cooking. He realized Kaoru was missing and felt oddly cold even though it the first of June. He showered and dressed in a pair of beige slacks and a navy shirt. He walked into the kitchen and saw a disaster zone. There was flour everywhere, chairs knocked over, and water spilt onto the floor. "Morning angel, need any help?"

            "No I'm fine. I'm making pancakes. Could you pick up the phone though?" she replied. She was dashing about the room trying to make the pancakes. "It says to add 3 tsp. of salt. I guess that means tablespoons. Next are three eggs, hmm since I don't like eggs I'll only add one…" Kaoru continued making mistakes in the recipe as Aoshi picked up the phone.

            "Shinomori residence."

            "Oh, hello Aoshi right? This is Lita Andrews, Kaoru's roommate. I'm calling to warn you about Kaoru. Don't let her cook unless you want food poisoning," warned Lita.

            "Really, it is that bad? So I guess angel isn't so perfect." Aoshi turned to see Kaoru adding something green into the batter. 'I guess she is right,' he thought.

            'Angel huh? He must be falling for her. This is so great. She hasn't dated for three years. Maybe he will be the one to fix her broken heart,' Lita thought to herself. "Aoshi another thing is when she says 'Mou': she is angry, exasperated or embarrassed. Also beware of her temper, she tends to get violent," cautioned Lita.

            "I've noticed anything else? I have to stop her before she burns down the apartment," asked Aoshi.

            "Never let her have alcohol. She tends to speak the harmful truth and get emotional. She also doesn't realize what she is doing or how dangerous it is. So heed my warning or prepare to suffer the consequences. Good bye and tell Kaoru Happy Birthday for me."

            "When is her birthday?" he asked.

            "June second. Well goodbye and tell me how things turn out." Lita hung up the phone and thought of how the situation between the newlyweds would develop.

            Aoshi watched his angel make the last pancake. She was wearing a yellow sundress that went to her knees. It had a square cut with off the shoulder sleeves. The dress was embroidered with pink blossoms.

            "Sit down and eat what I made before it gets cold," said Kaoru. She was now cleaning up the huge mess she created. Aoshi silently prayed that he wouldn't die from what was in front of him. They were green with odd lumps of things in it. He gathered his courage and took the first bite. It tasted so horrible, she added too much salt and he found pieces of eggshell. He suffered silently and ate what was before him.

            "I can see why you are such a tom boy. You never learned how to cook properly. You may look gentle and delicate but you are a regular guy," Aoshi commented.

            "I'm sorry if it wasn't good enough for you. You try learning to cook from your father. I didn't have a mother to teach it to me. I was to busy learning Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu. I was training to be a master of it, before my world crashed around me. I'll show you how delicate I can be though Shinomori." Kaoru yelled at Aoshi before leaving the room. She went to go the mall to buy her clothes for tonight.

            "Wait Kaoru come back," shouted Aoshi after the fleeting woman. He caught up to her and apologized. She accepted it on one condition. He would have to suffer shopping with her all day with no complaints. He sighed as he agreed to the terms and they went off.

            Did you like it? I am wondering what to do next…any suggestions? Remember this is PG-13, I will not turn this into a lemon. So flame, rant and rave away. All comments welcomed. Please review! *on knees and begs pitifully*  I want at least 15 more new reviews!!! Or I won't update as quickly. I keep my promises, I haven't disappointed you yet have I?
