There won't be too many AN in the story. I know how much a lot of you hate that sort of thing! ^_^ I hope you like my story!
Oh and just to let you know, this story may start out a lot like the anime beginning, but it will soon change. I hope you enjoy my story and please review!
Sumimasen everyone! ((Sumimasen means 'Thank you' and a bunch of other things. ^_^)) I found a Jap. site with a lot of Jap. Terms.
Oh and a reviewer pointed out I might have spelled Kauro's name wrong. ::grins shly:: Oops.. I'm new at the Kenshin department. Please forgive me.
Oh, and THANK YOU SO MUCH SHOJIN TAKARU FOR THE JAPANESE TERMS!! I really could use some help with those. I am only used to speaking Japanese, not spelling it. lol. ^_^ If I mess up on a term, please correct me.
starrynightdemoness, you seemed a bit... hastey with your review. Like you were mad at me. Or is that just me being weird and not understanding you right?
For another reviwer, Oro is more like a sound then a word. But I think it means 'wha?!' or 'huh?'.
Also, can you reviewers help me out here? I'm tring to keep Kenshin talking the way he does in the anime. I'm not too far into the Manga right now, so I don't know exactly how he says certain things. But, please tell me how I am doing!!!!!
I'm sorry about the whole thing about Kenshin calling Kaoru 'Lady Kaoru'. I heard him call her that a few times in the anime and thought it would work out. ^_^ My bad... again. Thank you for correcting me EARLY on in my story and now way down the road!
Kaoru-dono? Umm... I thought to correct term was Kaoru-Doni. Atleast, that's what I thought. SOrry people if I'm worng about it! I hate pointing fingers at people and saying 'You're wrong!' ::grins shly:: but I'm usually wrong so, go figure. ^_^

Part 2-A 'peaceful' day
It was a bright morning. The light shined down onto Kenshin's face, waking him up. Kenshin turned on his side, tring to fall back asleep. He didn't want to get up today. Last night he had been awaken by Kaoru screaming.
He had ran to her room, expecting her to have been attacked by someone. He nearly pulled her door out of it's place with how fast he opened it. When he finally spotted what was making her scream.
Kenshin flipped on his stomach and covered his head with his blanket.
'A tiny spider. How could such a harmless creature, make Kaoru-dono scream so much?' Kenshin asked himself.
'I would think the assistant manager of a Dojo would be more... couragous.' He thought, before getting up to a sitting position.
He yawned and stretched his arms out to get the small stiffness from them. He scratched the back of his head. His hair was sticking up all over the place. He quickly ran over to where the brushes were kept and started brushing out his hair. He didn't want anyone to see him with a bad case of bed-head.
Once all the knots were out and the strands were straightened, he placed his wild hair back into a pony tail with a tie. He quickly slipped on his clothes and walked out into the Shrine area.
"You slept in today Kenshin. Were you up late last night?" Kaoru asked him, while sipping some of her drink.
Kenshin's face faultured. 'I was, thanks to your screaming' is what the Battousai part of him wanted to say to Kauro. But, Kenshin restrained that part and cleared his throat.
"That I was." He answered, before sitting down and waiting for Kaoru to say it was alright for him to eat.
"Oh. Here you go Kenshin." She said, smiling. She handed him a tray of food. "I made it myself."
"Much thanks, Kaoru-dono. I am quite hunger, that I am." Kenshin said, with a smile. He picked up his chopsticks and took a whiff of the food. It smelled good enough to eat.
He started to shovel in his food, when he got a taste of it. His eyes widen.
'This food is... horrible.' Kenshin thought to himself. He didn't want to spit it out though. That might hurt Kaoru's feelings.
"So? How is it?" She asked him.
"Umm..." He started. He felt very trapped right about now. Kaoru was leaning over to him, watching his facial expressions too. It would be hard to lie, and it would be painful to tell the truth.
"Hey! Anyone home?" A voice called out.
Kenshin sighed in releif, thanking whatever Gods were watching over him.
Kaoru got up to answer the door. Kenshin opened a window and tossed out Kaoru's nasty food. He would just pretend he ate it, that's all. He placed the now empty bowl back down before looking to see who entered.
Kenshin walked into the other room and saw a man. He had dark brown hair with dark eyes. He was wearing a white shirt with white pants. Before Kenshin could take in any more facts about this person, the person greeted him.
"Hi. You must be jou-chan's boyfriend." He said, with a wide grin to Kenshin.
"No.. Kaoru-dono and I are.." Kenshin started, but was cut off when Kauro socked the strange man in the back of the head.
"Knock it off Sano! You know as well as I do, he's not my boyfriend." Kaoru said, walking over to Kenshin, well, the middle. Between Sano and Kenshin.
"Oww." Sano said, rubbing his head.
"Sano, this is Kenshin. He's a traveler who is going to be staying here for awhile." Kaoru explained. "And Kenshin, this is my friend Sano the freeloader."
"Hey! I'm not a freeloader." Sano complained.
"Let's see. You eat all my food, borrow money from me and never pay me back. Yep. You're a freeloader alright." Kaoru said, pointing her finger at Sano.
"I promised to pay you back." Sano said in his defence.
"A year ago!"
"A Promise is a promise! Besides, you're food is horrible."
"What did you just say?"
"I said you're food is horrible!"
"Why you-" Kaoru started, about to kill Sano.
"Hey you two. You shouldn't be fighting!" Kenshin said, tring to brake up the fight.
"You stay out of this!" Both of them said to him.
Kenshin felt like he shrank a few feet from that force. He quickly got out of there before he was beaten up.
'Those two are scary, that they are.' Kenshin thought to himself with a smile. He might as well get back to work on the floors while those two back there fight it out.
He grabbed some clothes pins and pined his sleeves up. Then, got a bucket of water, a rag and some soap. He started to clean the rest of the floor when the two came in.
"If you don't like my food, why don't you just leave?" Kaoru said, still yelling at Sano.
"My pardons, but-" Kenshin started.
"Maybe I will!" Sano said, they were both still walking and not looking where they were stepping.
"You two-" He started, but was cut off again.
"Fine then! Be that way! And pay me back my money too, while you're at it." Kaoru yelled up at him, causing Sano to back up, right into the bucket of water.
Sano stepped right into it and slipped, causing the bucket to fly up and land right on Kaoru's head. Both of them were soaked. They stared, blinking in shocked.
Kenshin blinked, before bursting out laughing.
They both glared at him. Kenshin sat back, supported by his hands, looking up at them.
"My pardons, but I tried to worn you that I did. You two were yelling over my voice, that you were." Kenshin said, still giving out a few chuckles.
**************
After getting the floors cleaned, Kaoru and Sano dried off and they all sat down in the main room of the Shrine.
"She really got you cleaning floors?" Sano asked kenshin.
"That she does. I'm staying here only out of Kaoru-dono's kind heart. I'm thankful to her that I am." Kenshin said, before drinking a little.
"She'll never get me to do that kind of work." Sano said, scratching his cheek in a thoughtful manner.
"That's because you're lazy." Kaoru said, not even glancing over at her.
Sano just turned his head a bit.
Kenshin smiled. 'What interesting people, that they are. I knew it would be fun to stick around here.'
"Kaoru-dono?" Kenshin asked.
"Hai?" Kaoru asked back.
"My Pardons, Kaoru-dono. But, is it alright if I stay here for a little while longer?" He asked.
"Of course. Stay here as long as you like Kenshin. I really feel better knowing someone is almost always around here. It gets boring without someone." Kaoru said, smiling at Kenshin.
Sano smiled at the two of them. "You sure he's not your Boyfriend?"
Then, Sano was hit upside the head again. A huge bump showing he got hit.
Kenshin chuckled at poor Sano. Then, Kenshin's stomach growled. Sano looked over at Kenshin.
"I knew you didn't eat that toxic food jou-chan trys to feed us. Why don't we go out to a real eating place? Huh Kenshin?" Sano said, nudging Kenshin with his elbow.
"What do you mean 'toxic food'? I can cook!" Kaoru yelled at Sano.
'Oro? Not again!' Kenshin thought to himself as another heated arguement broke out between Kaoru and Sano.
