That Cute Waitress Kaoru

My last chapter was weird, I know. Oh well. SORRY THE UPDATE TOOK SOO LONG! (prays for mercy at crowd, approaching, armed with bokkens)

 Thanks for all the reviews, ppl!

NOW-ON WITH THE STORYY~!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Sweet cheeks and the famous bathroom incident.

---

Kenshin, Kaoru, and Soujiro had reached an unspoken agreement concerning that night. They had decided to never talk about it, as if it had never occurred.

Ken and Kao blamed it on raging hormones, puberty, Kaoru's period, anything to keep it off their backs.

Sou-chan went back to his scarily-never-wavering smile, which as usual scared the hell out of little children. (what, don't tell me thos giant freakishly smiling clowns at the circus never scared you! *shudder*)

So, Kenshin and Kaoru went to the normal dating thing. Nothing too heavy, just holding hands, chaste kisses, carrying books....you know the drill. She was modest and kept her privacy private. They never, NEVER did anything so passionate, nor did they see each other in the nude.

Nothing very eventful happened for the next week or so. Well, nothing if you don't include that food fight at lunch on Wednesday, or if you don't include Kenshin accidentally going into the girls' restroom(HAHAHA), or if you don't include Kenshin's parents buying Sano's extra house, moving in, and getting better jobs(oh yeah, they were all for that!)....

Nope, not until Saturday.

SATURDAY

Kaoru and Megumi had gotten tired of being groped all the time, so they applied for a different position; working at the bar. (Still at the Akebeko, still same foofy outfits) Kaoru had to bring Yahiko to work with her, since no one else could take care of him.

Kenshin decided to drop by and surprise Kaoru at work. So he went to the Akabeko, and entered the bar area.

Kaoru was talking with Megumi, when a drunk guy at a table nearby called, "Hey sweet cheeks!" She whipped around, eyes flashing, realizing he was talking to Iher/I. She went over there, an idea formulating in her head.

He ordered a beer, and Kaoru went to go get it, stopping for a word with Yahiko. Kenshin's eyes flashed angrily. This disrespectful man was gonna get it...

Kaoru came back carrying the drink. Kenshin sighed. The didn't want Kaoru to see any violence.

Kaoru pulled her cheeks. "Sweet cheeks like these?" she asked. The man shook his head.

"Sweet cheeks like these," and he smacked her butt. She recoiled, but regained heself. Kenshin's eyes turned fully amber.

"They go well with these other sweet thangs," said the man, giving her boobs a squeeze. Kaoru wanted her bokken desperately, to hit him SMACK in the head with it. Instead, her smile only grew larger. Apparently she was imagining the best ways to dismember him.

If that man hadn't been so intoxicated, he would have been afraid.

He grinned leerily, and continued, "So, when you get off work, then you could come by my place and...oh hell, we could just do it!" Kenshin growled.

Kaoru replied, "Like, oh my God! That would be like, soo great! I mean we'd be, like, dating! And we'd have, like great sex and stuff! And, you could like, meet my kids!" Kenshin sweatdropped and 'Oro'-ed.

The guy paused, apparently letting the last statement sink in. Kaoru called, "Yahiko!" Yahiko came running out, and gave the guy a huge hug.

Yahiko: Are you gonna be my new daddy?

Kaoru: (evilly)Are we gonna have kids too? I have a great name for one, it's-

Guy: here's your money! I have to go! (runs out, leaving Kaoru his wallet)

Kaoru: hehehe, bigg tip. (turns to Kenshin) I saw you!

Kenshin: (fake smile) Good job, Kaoru!

Kaoru: Oh, you sweet thing, you! I saw how you wanted to tear that guy apart! (big kiss on lips. Everyone in room applauds) Come on, my shift's over. Let's go to my house.

Kenshin: (embarrassed he doesn't have a car to drive in)I walked here, I don't have a car....

Kaoru: We'll take mine.(pulls out keys to Cadillac)

They arrived at Kaoru's house. This was the first Kenshin had ever been there, but not the first he saw it. It was bigger inside than outside. Yahiko ran inside, not to be seen again that day (some say he disappeared, was abducted by aliens, but I really think he was just playing video games in his room)

Kaoru took him into her room. "Mommy and Daddy are on a business trip. They'll be back next week." She sniffed. "God, I smell terrible! Some guy couldn't hold his alcohol, so he barfed. All over my  legs! I have to go take a shower!" she made a face. "I tried to towel it off, but that sure as hell didn't work. Make yourself at home, oh, can you lay out some clothes in my closet for me? (yawn) I am sooooo tired! Haha, hope I don't fall asleep in my bath and drown, like that girl on TV did, hahaha...."

She ran into the bathroom, which was connected to her bedroom. Kenshin looked around. Her room was about the size of his old house, a 3-bedroom split level thing. Her closet was as big as his parent's old bedroom. He blushed as he wondered whether she meant including undergarments or not? He decided to, just in case. He laid out a white bra with a matching bikini. He looked through her closet and pulled out a white t-shirt with a picture of a camera (it said "Take a picture. It takes away ten pounds, ya know?") on it, and a pair of indigo jeans.

Kenshin looked at this layout, and left the closet, watching TV in her room. 7th Heaven was on. He started to sing along with the opening song.

Kenshin: Where can you goooooooooooooooooooooooooo when life don't treat ya right? The answer is hoooooooooooooooooooooooooome that's the one place that you'll find, 7th Heaven, 7th Heaven oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh 7th Heavennn......

Kaoru soaked in her big bubble, bath, completely forgetting about Kenshin. She picked up her book, ISpeak/I, and read, careful not to get the pages wet.

After an hour of watching the trials and tribulations of the Camden family, Kenshin realized one thing: Kaoru STILL Wasn't out of her bath. But...girls are like that, he decided. They are way too obsessed with hygiene, so, I guess she'll be out..soon......

So, he watched another hour of 7th Heaven (marathon!! Gues what I'm watching on TV right now, he,he,he.) She STILL wasn't out.

And he remembered her words: "I am sooooo tired! Haha, hope I don't fall asleep in my bath and drown, like that girl on TV did, hahaha...."

"KAORU!" cried Kenshin as he barged into her bathroom. (The lock needed to be fixed)

Kaoru had JUST decided to get out of the bath, and rinse off in the shower. So, she got out of the bath, covered in bubbles, and moved to the shower, where she rinsed off in cold water. Then she got out again, and reached for her towel. When Kenshin barged in.

"KAORU! Don't fall asle-ORO!" Kaoru took a second to recover from the shock.

He was staring wide-eyed at her. Naked. He SHOULD have averted his eyes, BUT he DID NOT. She grabbed the towel, and shoved him out the door. And slammed it in his face. And took the connecting door to her closet. Where she changed. And went out. And bashed Kenshin over the head with a bokken, which magically appeared out of nowhere.

He started getting swirly-eyed and "Oro"ing like crazy. Kenshin, baka deshi! You deserve this! He thought to himself. It didn't hurt much, anyways. He was strong enough to take it, and Kaoru wasn't trying to hurt him too bad.

She finally calmed down and asked, "Do you know the sword?"

Kenshin thought, OH YEAH I KNOW IT!!! But he said, "A little."

Kaoru: Wanna spar me?

Kenshin: Uhhhh sure...(GAH! I better not hurt her too bad!)

Kaoru took him to a room with a large wooden floor. Bokkens hung on racks alongside real swords. Kenshin itched to use a real sword, but a boken was thrust at him first. He blinked t see Kaoru in a guarding stance.

He lazily slumped into a guarding stance, thinking this would be easy. She grinned at his cocky manner. She had been right! This guy was a swordsman, and he thought she sucked! She'd show him.

She ran at him, raising her bokken high as if to smash down on him. He sidestepped, and she leapt to the side, thrusting her bokken. He barely blocked it, shocked. She was good. Really good. He began to take the match seriously, but too late. She had him pinned down on the ground, sword at his neck. He brushed himself off, got up and challenged, "I'll get you  now."

They stood, poised at starting stance. His eyes turned from a soft violet to a sharp, violent amber. A second later, she lay on the ground, bokken pressing down at her neck. "I win," declared Kenshin, who was bodily on top of her. Then his eyes changed, to the gentle violet gaze they usually were.

"We had a draw, that we did." Her face turned purple and she spluttered. He looked at her, and leaned forward, making her turn even redder. "Kaoru, no need to be embarrassed. You beat me once, that you did."

She gasped, "Neck---need-air---c-can--can't-breathe...." Kenshin sprung back, as if burned, and helped her up, a stream of apologies babbling out of his mouth.

"Kaoru, I am soo soo sorry, that I am! Oro! Are you all right? I'm sorry! Are you okay? Can you breathe? Did I crush you? Oh dear, I hope you're not hurt!"

Kaoru's face regained a natural, healthy color, and she laughed. "Yes, I'm all right!" She looked at a clock and said, "Time for dinner!" As they walked to the kitchen, she apologized. "I knew from the start you were a swordsman. But I'm sorry, I shouldn't have challenged you. I was still mad about the bathroom incident." He nodded. She motioned for him to enter the dining room, to sit with Yahiko.

"I'll go prepare dinner," she said.

A minute later, a foul smell reached Kenshin's nose. He gagged. Was that what Kaoru was cooking? She whisked in, carrying a plate of....something, which steamed faintly. From where Kenshin sat, It looked as if it moved.

WHAT WILL KAORU CONJURE UP? WILL KENSHIN SURVIVE KAORU's COOKING? WILL YAHIKO MADE SNIDE COMMENTS THAT FORCE KAORU TO KILL HIM? FIND OUT NEXT TIME! IN CHAPTER FIVE: DINNER AND THE KILLER WHATSIT!!

Sorry, no bloopers this time! ( runs away before audience can react)

 Hey! I am writing a new story! It is also K&K ( I am sooo unoriginal) And it's the usual both-shy-everyone tries to get those two together stories! God, I have NO original ideas, hahaha! IT should be up soon! But maybe..MAYBE it will have a few twists! He,he,he! Look for it! (one set in the modern day [this one] and one set back in the Meiji era [that one])

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH

Reviewing makes me want to update more. No reviews makes me sad. And That makes me not want to write. The *happier* I am, then the better and longer the chapters turn up, and more often, too!     

Yes, that's a threat. He,he,he!
