Part 7- You look like an Angel
"Kenshin..." Sano said. He watched as Kenshin ran from one side of the room to the next, looking for something. "Kenshin.." Kenshin zoomed past Sano again, ignoring him. "Kenshin.." Yet again.. Sano growled in his throat. "KENSHIN!" This time he knocked Kenshin in the head.
"Orooooooooo..." Kenshin said, falling to the ground with a thud. A huge lump on his head.
"What are you looking for?" Sano asked, putting the fish bone back in his mouth.
"Sessha is looking for his wallet." Kenshin answered, sitting up while rubbing his head.
"You mean that peice of clothe you call a wallet?" Sano asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Hai."
"Oh. You put it down before you took a bath. I think right near the Bokkens." Sano said, folding his arms.
Kenshin made a small head nod, barely noted as a bow, to Sano. "Sessha is very grateful, that I am."
Kenshin ran into the next room and grabbed his wallet. He stuff it into his Gi, right above where the belt is. It would hold it there for a good while without any probems. Kenshin walked into the room where Sano is and stood still. "How do I look? Should I wear my sword? Does it all match?"
"You look alright. Loss the sword, and yes it all matches." Sano answered, leaning against the wall. He was bored now and it was clear in his voice.
"Sessha thanks you again Sano." Kenshin said, bowing to Sano again.
"Whatever. So, will you tell me what is going on?" Sano asked.
"Well, Sessha has a date, that I do." Kenshin said, rubbing the back of his neck in embrassment.
"A date?" Sano suddenly wasn't bored anymore. "With who?"
"Sessha does not think that is any of Sano's business, that I don't." Kenshin said, in a parent-like manner.
Sano was close to whinning now. "Come on Kenshin! You can't go out on a date without atleast telling me who!"
"Sessha cannot do that! You will make fun of sessha and sessha is already nervous." Kenshin said.
"I promise I won't make fun of you." Sano said. "Come on..I'm a friend of yours. You should be able to tell me almost anything Kenshin! Where's the trust?!"
Kenshin glared at Sano. Sano started to sulk. Kenshin gave a deep sigh.
"Fine. I'm going on a date with Kaoru-Dono, that I am." Kenshin said, blushing at the end.
Sano slapped Kenshin on the back and smile. "'bout time you asked her out! I knew you liked her since the first day I saw you two together!"
Kenshin smiled a bit. Sano had, weather he knew it or not, releaved some of Kenshin's nerves with that sentence. Kenshin sighed, before sitting down.
"You still nervous?" Sano asked him, sitting down next to his friend.
"Hai."
"Don't be! Jou-chan likes you too. I can see it. That's why I was teasing you two." Sano said, leaning against the wall.
Kenshin looked over at his relaxed friend. Could Sano be right?
[Of course he's right! I told you before that Kaoru likes us.]
'Sessha will admit.. Kaoru-Dono does seem to like us.'
Kenshin could see the Battousai's smile. It was an arrogent one, but a smile non the less.
"Oi Kenshin. What time was that date of yours?" Sano asked.
"....." Kenshin couldn't ask. he didn't tell Kaoru the time.. and it was starting to get later in the day. If she didn't come home soon, she would miss their date!
***
Kaoru and Megumi combed through many Kimonos. They were about to give up on the perfect one, when Kaoru spotted something out the corner of her eye. It was a beautiful Kimono! No.. beauty put it to shame, it was above all else, the most wonderful Kimono she had ever seen in her life!
Kaoru touched the laced ends of it. It was silk. A very fine silk. She couldn't afford this! It must have been way up there in price too.
"Hello. May I help you ma'am?" A woman asked her. Kaoru turned to the owner of the store.
"Yes. How much is this one?" Kaoru asked her.
"That one? It's slightly used. You wouldn't want that one." The woman said, shrugging off the Kimono.
"No. I want this one." Kaoru said firmly. She didn't care if every women in the world wore it! She wanted it.
"Well, since it's used and has a small hole down at the bottom.... I could sell it to you for 100 yen." The woman said.
"I'll take it." Kaoru said happily. She could afford that! She just couldn't eat for the next two days, that's all.
She was about to put down her cash, when Megumi paid for it instead. Kaoru turned to Megumi with wide eyes.
"I can't let you give up your food money." Megumi said. "Besides, I have money to spare."
Kaoru smiled at Megumi and gave her a hug. "Thank you so much!"
"Come on! You don't want to be late." Megumi said, grabbing Kaoru's wrist. She grabbed the bagged Kimono, and half dragged Kaoru to her house.
"Why do I have to dress at your house?" Kaoru questioned.
"You want him to be surprised, don't you?" Megumi questioned, taking out the Kimono.
"Yes." Kaoru said.
"Then. Put this one and I will do your hair and make-up."
***
Sano watched as Kenshin paced back and forth across the room. He had never seen a man so nervous in his life! It was quite interesting. Yahiko had came over and Kenshin didn't even notice the young lad sitting next to Sano. They both followed Kenshin.
"What is he doing?" Yahiko asked to his older friend.
"Pacing." Sano stated.
"I know that fish face! I mean, why is he pacing?" Yahiko snapped back.
"Because he has a date." Sano answered simply, before hitting Yahiko on the head. "And don't call me 'fish-face' either Squirt."
Yahiko rubbed his sore head, as he continued to watch Kenshin pace. "With who?"
"Take a wild guess Yahiko." Sano said, almost rolling his eyes. How many people could Kenshin know already enough to date?!
"He's going out with the old hag? What's wrong with him." Yahiko asked, crossing his eyes. He didn't notice Kenshin had stopped pacing and was now glaring at the young boy.
Sano almost gulped. He never seen anyone have golden eyes before! "Yahiko... you'd better open your eyes."
"Why?" Yahiko questioned, but opened his eyes anyway. He saw Kenshin's death glare pointed right at him! He nearly wet himself!
"Kaoru-Dono is NOT and old hag!" Kenshin pointed out. He couldn't believe his new friend called Kaoru that! How dare he say that about one of the most beautiful woman he has ever met! The battousai had taken over for that second and was now in full force. He was glaring at Yahiko.
Yahiko gulped. "I-It's j-just a joke K-Kenshin."
Kenshin's glare went to the floor. Yahiko and Sano watched as Kenshin's eyes swirled with violet, blue and gold. They turned back into a soft violet color. Kenshin gave a deep sigh before looking at his two friends.
"Sessha is sorry. Sessha is just nervous, that he is." Kenshin said to Yahiko. He gave a slight bow in the boy's direction to show how sorry he was.
Yahiko nodded to Kenshin. "It's alright Kenshin. Just.. never look at me with those gold eyes again.. They're creepy."
Sano nodded with Yahiko. "I agree with the squirt. What's the matter with you Kenshin?"
Kenshin gave a slight sigh again. "Sessha's eyes turn gold when Sessha is angry, that they do."
Sano leaned towards Yahiko. "Yahiko.. remind me to NEVER get Kenshin mad."
"Gotcha." Yahiko said back.
Kenshin gave a weak smile that didn't reach past the corners of his lips. "Sessha is sorry."
"It's alright Kenshin. No harm done. Well, besides Yahiko pants." Sano said, snickering.
Kenshin turned to Yahiko. The boy wet himself. Kenshin could feel the laughter bubble up inside of him, but he held it back. Anyone who looked in Kenshin's eyes could see the laughter being held back. Sano was roaring with laughter. Yahiko was sitting, blushing a deep red.
"Sessha will fetch you a new pair of clothes." Kenshin said, going into the laundry room. He looked through the basket until he found a pair of clothes that would fit Yahiko. He handed them to the young boy. "You can also take a bath, if you wish too."
"Thanks.." Yahiko said, taking the dry clothes. The deep blush still in place. He almost ran into the bathroom to go take a bath.
Kenshin and Sano looked at each other, before bursting out laughing.
***
Kaoru walked up to the door of her own Dojo. On her way here, she had been complimented by many men. Some were too shy to speak to her. Kaoru guessed that was a good sign. She took a deep breath before Walking into the Dojo. She heard laughter in the main room. What were they laughing at? Were they laughing because Kenshin tricked her?
Kaoru reached out a shaking hand and pulled open the door that seperated her and Kenshin. She looked at Kenshin.
He was laughing in a gee-full way. He was wearing a simple, but expensive looking Gi. It looked just a little too big for him. It hung further on his collar bone, near his shoulder. It was a deep blue color. He had one under it too. It was white. He fit him much better. It was tighter on his body then the outter Gi. It was close to his neck, and made a V-neck. His pants were loose and also pure white. It had hand stitches on the bottom of them. They were made into Cherry blossom flowers at the bottom. They were not a female design. Though, it seemed like a man would not wear such pants with those designs.
His hair was much more tamed then before. Brushed more finely and held back a bit higher of his neck.
Kaoru couldn't help but smile. He looked so Handsom! He didn't look his age at all! He looked her age, or just over it.
Kenshin heard someone behind him. He turned to look. It was a woman! At first, he didn't notice who she was! All he registered was she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Kenshin's jaw dropped. He felt like he was looking at an Angel! She was pure and simple, the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. That's when he saw her smile. It was Kaoru's smile.
His heart started pounding a million iles an hour! He was going on a date with her!
[HOT DAMN!] The Battousai screamed in his head. He apparently agreed with Kenshin that she was beautiful.
She was wearing an elegant Kimono, was a hung to her body in a very graceful way. It showed the curve of her hips and her chest, but it didn't reveil too much to the veiwer. It was a light blue color, with cherry blossoms printed everywhere on it. The ribbon holding her hair up was set lower. It was the same pale blue color. There were slits in the Kimono just above the elbow. They showed off the under clothes. Which were pure white and also slit in the same place. Below that, you could see her pale skin.
Her lips were the color of a red flower. Her eyes were given full attention. They had light make-up around them. Nothing too heavy.
All Kenshin was able to do, was to stand there with his bottom jaw on the ground.
[I think I died and went to heaven]
'Sessha agrees...'
[Say something Baka! She's staring at us!]
"Kaoru-Dono.. You look.. like an Angel." Kenshin said, saying the first thing that came to mind. His eyes traced her body once more, not believing how beautiful one woman could be.
Kaoru blushed. Those words made her the happist woman in the world! The man she really cared about, just said she looked like an Angel! What could be better?
"Thank you Kenshin. You look very handsom too." Kaoru said, smiling at him. A deep blush on her face.
Kenshin blushed as well. They completely forgot about Sano, who was staring at Kaoru too. His jaw was on the ground as well.
"Wow Jou-chan! You look wonderful!" Sano said. Sano looked at Kenshin as if to say 'you lucky dog'.
Kenshin gave a look that seemed to say, 'I know.' He looked back at Kaoru and walked up to her. He lent out his arm to her. She happly took it. Kenshin walked her to the door. Before he went out he looked at Sano one more time. If Sano was acting this way around her, then what will other men do?
[Take the sword.] The Battousai said in is head.
'Sessha will.' Kenshin answered back, picking up his sword and putting it on.
"Do you really need your sword?" Kaoru asked him.
"Sessha thinks he will have to beat every man in the world if he is to keep an angel such as you on his arm, that he does." Kenshin said.
Kaoru blushed deeply. She gave a slight giggle. She couldn't believe Kenshin could make her feel this way!
[Smooth move! I didn't know you had it in you.]
'Sessha is only beginning.'
[You dog, you.] The Battousai gave a smirk to his counter part.
**************************
YET AGAIN I didn't get to the date! I'm always distracted by something else in the story and get caught up in it..
Sorry about that guys and gals. I'll make the date in the next chapter. 100% sure about that too! And if I don't you can all bash me on the head!
Hope you enjoy my story. Please review!
