Disclaimer: Since I can't think of anything witty or snappy to put today,
I'll just say this: I don't own Ruroni Kenshin, I never have, and I never
will. Respect the real owners of the screen names, please, and don't
Instant Message them. Unless, of course, you already DO know them.
Author's Notes: Ok, still PG, still swearing, still AU, still possible random insane stupidity. OOC, and Kenshin and Kaoru might seem a little dense, but remember, they still don't know who the other one is, and they would never expect that is who they were talking to. Now that we have gotten that over with, you can * cough * should * cough * review and make my day, I am not in the mood to ramble. Now introducing the next chapter! * cheesy trumpet music plays *
He's Two of the Same- Chapter Four- Confessions to Themselves
Kaoru had been avoiding Kenshin a bit more than usual, if that was possible, and had been giving him the silent treatment. She hadn't called him anything tomato orientated in over a week, even when he started the shouting matches. Well, she had THOUGHT she was giving him the silent treatment.
BokkenGirl: My life is becoming a bit sucky.
BattousaiBoy: Why do you say that?
BokkenGirl: I apologized to someone about something that happened a few years ago, but they acted so nasty.I really like the guy, and he seems to have more problems then I thought, and needs a few more friends.
BattousaiBoy: Well, whoever this guy is, I think he should shut up and get a life, and be nicer to you.
BokkenGirl: Arigato, I'll remember that.
BattousaiBoy: You're welcome. I have no idea why, but I feel like I know you from somewhere. Is that possible?
BokkenGirl: Yeah, I feel like I know you too. Kind of scary, don't you think?
BattousaiBoy: Yup, maybe we've both just gone crazy.
BokkenGirl: Haha, probably.

"Kaoru, you have been acting very weird since the day you got stuck in the elevator. May I ask, what is wrong with you?" Megumi asked her friend. It was Saturday, and Kaoru, Megumi, and Misao were at Megumi's house that included a strong air conditioning system. It was needed; the weather was hot and miserable.
"Yeah, Kaoru, you have been acting different than normal. What's up?" Misao added.
"I don't know you guys, I have to go watch Yahiko and Aoshi has to watch me watch him while dad is out, see ya."
Kaoru walked out of the large house and back to the apartment. School had let out a few days ago, and there wasn't much to do. She was beyond pissed at Kenshin; she had realized she had a major crush on him, maybe more.
She opened the door to the apartment, and opened the door. The sight before her would be forever engraved in her memory. Aoshi standing over the stove in a frilly pink apron, attempting to use a spatula on the pasta that was cooking. Yahiko walked in the room at that moment holding a camera, took a picture of his brother, and laughed until he almost puked.
"EXTREME BLACKMAIL ON AOSHI!!! Oi, busu, you're finally home, do you think you could teach Aoshi to cook? Wait; forget that, I forgot, you CAN'T cook! Hahahahaha!"
"Shut up, Yahiko-CHAN! Or do you want me to tell Tsubame-chan you're still in diapers?"
"Hey! I have a small bladder, how can I help it? Unless I want to wet the futon * shudders *."
Kaoru giggled, and pulled out a tape recorder she kept handy from her pocket. She played it back about three times to Yahiko's face. She smirked. Aoshi was still hunched over the stove with a spatula, attempting to do something unknown with the pasta before it burned.
"I'll repeat your quote, EXTREME BLACKMAIL ON YAHIKO-CHAN!"
"You are the stupidest tanuki ever!"
"Am not!"
"Are so!"
"Am not!"
"Are so!"
"Are so!"
"Glad you finally agree with me, Yahiko-chan!"
"NO CHAN! And I never said I agre..."
Yahiko was cut short by Aoshi taking his disposable camera, and Kaoru's tape recorder from their hands, and chucking them out the window. He dumped the very sooty remains of "dinner" in the garbage, and shed the apron.
"Who wants McDonalds?" he asked with no emotion at all. Yahiko raised his hand.
"That's ok, Aoshi, I think I'll just have a sandwich later, I'm not hungry right now."
Aoshi and Yahiko left the apartment, and Kaoru stared out the window at Aoshi's car pulling out of the parking lot (A/N: In New York, you are allowed to get a license at 16, I have heard that it will be changed though), and walked to the small living room. She flipped on the TV, and turned it off when she saw there was nothing on. She heard something that sounded like metal being knocked over coming from her room.
'Oh, Kami-sama, no, please don't let it be...'
Unfortunately, it was exactly what she had thought it was. She had overheard Kenshin talking about a sleepover with Sanosuke earlier, and knew that in the lines of "Truth or Dare", boys usually did things that had to do with a girl's...
"KENSHIN YUKI (A/N: Made that up) HIMURA, WHAT THE *beep, this is a PG fanfic* ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM, ESPECIALLY, WHAT THE *beep, this is a PG fanfic* ARE YOU DOING IN MY CLOTHING DRAWER!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Kenshin put the article of clothing behind his back, and tried to make way for the air vent, but Kaoru had already hit him on the head with her bokken, and kneed him in the gut. She reached behind him, and pried her pajama boxers out of his grip, and then kicked him towards the wall where the air vent rested. He climbed up, pulled the grating back over the hole, and crawled back to his apartment. When he got there, Sanosuke was laughing hysterically.
"Kenshin, you look like you just caught a round trip ride to Hell and back!"
"Would you be surprised if I did? Look, I didn't get a garment, so you can ask me a truth."
"Okay, do you like the Jou-chan one apartment over?"
"ORO! Okay, hai, now, truth or dare?"
------
Kaoru had never looked happier in her life. Perhaps snooping was a good thing. After all, Kenshin would never admit he liked her to her face. She was walking on sunshine, er, moonlight.
--- The next day ---
Kaoru lay on her futon, not wanting to get up, she was too comfortable. She heard the buh-beep of an Instant Message, and realized Yahiko must have only been doing some hacking. Wait, what was she thinking!
"Yahiko, by any chance, whose Instant Message account are you on?"
"Yours, busu! I just needed to get to the internet and you had this set up so it went on as soon as you started your computer! I swear, I just turned it on, and some BattousaiBoy guy is talking!"
Kaoru leapt out of bed. If BattousaiBoy was on, it was worth the fact she was still in a night shirt and boxers.
BattousaiBoy: Yo! Did you just wake up, Sleepy Princess?
BokkenGirl: Nope, I am just a piece of metal, and my bed is a magnet.
BattousaiBoy: Haha, looks like somebody hasn't had their coffee yet!
BokkenGirl: I hate coffee you smart ass...
BattousaiBoy: Who said people drink it because it has any taste?
BokkenGirl: You know, I was about to apologize for calling you a smart ass, but I take it back! You are one!
BattousaiBoy: Hai, I know, I'm the biggest one in existence!
BokkenGirl: Well, they do say that if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh at anything. You are very good at laughing at yourself, you know that?
BattousaiBoy: Hai, I do. You don't laugh about yourself enough, BG. Lighten up, have a little fun with life while you're above ground! Have you told off that other little male spitball yet?
BokkenGirl: Iie, but I still will say what you said to tell me to him. Shut up, get a life, and be nicer to me, remember?
BattousaiBoy: Yeah, of course. I remember all my quotes, at least the ones that are good for something.
BokkenGirl: You don't have to remember many then...
BattousaiBoy: Hey!
BokkenGirl: It's called a JOKE. No, in reality, you are probably cramming your memory space with those quotes.
BattousaiBoy: Awwww, has BG gone mushy on me? I think she has!
BokkenGirl: In your dreams, you've gone soft on me!
BattousaiBoy: Yeah, you've made me soft, and that is honest. Arigato.
BokkenGirl: Well, big bro's gonna have kittens if I don't get there for breakfast RIGHT NOW. Bye, and don't worry, I'll tell the moron exactly what you told me to tell him today.
BattousaiBoy: The order of my answers: I hope you weren't serious about kittens, bye-bye, and good luck with lame-brain!
OWARI (for now)
Yes, my first evil cliffie! Okay, if you have still been following with my story until now, I will have to tell you: the next chapter is the END. If anyone wants a sequel, tell me, but I won't know where to start for a while. I never intended for this story to be long, and this seems about as far as I am going. Here are the translations:
arigato: thank you
bokken: wooden sword
oi: hey
busu: hag, ugly
-chan: 1: a term used for people younger that 15. 2: a term of endearment (used between close friends also) (in the case of a younger person saying it to an older person, it is an insult)
tanuki: raccoon
Kami-sama: God
jou-chan: little missy
oro: Huh! or What!
hai: yes
iie: no
owari: end
