Chapter IX: Shinta's back!!

At that miracle night they made a very wonderful feast at the Kamiya Dojo.

There were sake's, plenty of good food that Tae, Kaoru, Megumi, Tsubamae, Owamansu and Misao made, there were laughing. It was really a good celebration.

"Oi, Kenshin!" Sanosuke called him.

"Doushte, de gozaru?" Kenshin asked his loyal friend.

"Did you and Jou-chan mean what you two said awhile ago while that Shinta- freak appeared?" Sanosuke became serious.

Everybody stopped and stared at Kenshin and Kaoru.

"Rooster-baka maybe you drank too much sake, then you just drifted your stupid little bird-brain somewhere else!" Kaoru yelled at him while she tries to take her blush away from them to see.

"No, Jou-chan you just went near him and ask him if you shall be the one for him." He answered back and gave a mean smile at them both.

"Ano....." Kaoru can't say it.

"I really meant to say it to Kaoru that she'll be the one for me." Kenshin answered while he smiles at Kaoru.

*No Kaoru-dono? * Kaoru thought.

"How about you tanuki-chan?" Megumi asked her.

"Ano.... hai, I really meant that. I wanted to tell Kenshin that all along." She said turning her head to Kenshin.

"So, that means.... you two are...... more like, lovers!!!" Misao shouted to them proudly.

Kaoru looked outside, she saw Shinta waiting for her to leave.

"Ano...... I'll be going already, I'm already sleepy you know!" she said.

*Shinta wants me to be alone with him, what does he want even though I don't like him?!" she thought.

"I'll walk you back to your room Kaoru-koishii." Kenshin teased her just like lovers do. "No need Kenshin, I can do it by myself. Arigatou anyways." Kaoru lifted herself up and started to walk to the backyard.

They didn't mind that Kaoru would sleep already because they see that she really is tired, but she's not.

She walked carefully at the hall. Shinta went down from the Sakura tree.

"Want do you want Shinta! I love Kenshin already! I hate you for trying to kill me even we're lovers before I dumped you!" she said.

"Demo, Kaoru-chan. Aishi'teru, I don't want to see your sad eyes ever again." Shinta answered back.

"I hate you Shinta! If you do love me, why did you try to kill me for that matter? You want me to be happy, make me love Kenshin and leave our life so that all of us will have peace in this dojo." She answered back.

Shinta really got mad, he grabbed Kaoru's wrist and try to kiss her, but she yelled for help.

"Keeeeennnnnssssshhhhiiiinnnnn!!!" she yelled.

Everybody heard Kaoru's voice, they stop and look for her. They saw her at the backyard with Shinta.

"Kaoru!!" Kenshin shouted as he ran towards her.

"Jou-chan!" Sanosuke ran towards Kenshin.

"Kaoru-chan!" Aoshi, Misao and the Oni gang shouted.

Kenshin, Sanosuke, Aoshi, Misao and the rest of the Oni gang ran towards Kaoru and Shinta.
