Disclaimer: RK isn't mine, though I wish it were. But Shinji and the weird guy are. ^.^;

HoHum

Chapter 4: Uh-oh!

"Yawn." Shinji woke up. "Honey, come over here, I'm not feeling well."

"Kaoru, isn't it?" A voice said.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"You don't remember me? After all that I gave you? Absurd."

Shinji saw a hooded figure take shape in front of him.

'You!!!"

"Yes, me. Do you remember it all now?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Flashback

Shinji driving a limousine. Shinji assisting a redhead. Shinji coming home from work, thinking of Kaoru. Shinji talking to the hooded guy. Shinji happily living with Kaoru."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I guess so," Shinji said, shaking his head back to consciousness. "I really thought those things were real."

"I could make it that way."

"R-really? How? I'd do anything! Even dreams are enough for me."

"But why settle with dreams if you can have reality?"

"What do you mean you could give me reality?"

"Yes, of course."

"What am I going to do?"

"Drink this concoction so you'd be immune to the changes I will be making."

"You're kidding! That looks like poison. I won't drink that."

"Fine. I'll just leave then."

...............

"Wait! I'll drink it. No tricks, okay?"

The hooded man handed him a blue solution and Shinji drank it. He felt warm, as if he was being embraced. Then his eyes went blank.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Inside Shinji:

A door opened in front of him, and it slowly opened.

"Hi baby! What are you doing there? Come on in." Kaoru dragged him inside the door.

~*~**~*~*~*~**~~*~*~*~*~*

Shinji's body dropped to the floor.

"What a fool! This is easier than I expected."

The hooded man shifted Shinji's body in a comfortable lying position. He unbuttoned Shinji's shirt to reveal his chest and inscribed an ancient character using his blood. He stood up and walked to a certain spot on the floor where another inscription was found. He knelt in the middle of that inscription and closed his eyes, chanting an unfamiliar ritual while his hands moved in accordance to what he's saying. Light leaked from the inscription on the floor and Shinji's chest. The unconscious body was slowly rising in mid-air. The cloaked man fainted and after a few minutes, Shinji's eyes suddenly opened. He laughed evilly.

"Look at me now! Kenshin won't even suspect me!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kenshin shouted, causing Kaoru to wake up. He was sweating heavily.

"Kenshin, are you alright?" Kaoru asked, concern showing on her face. "Ye-yeah. I'm fine." I just had a nightmare." Kenshin smiled weakly. "So, he's back."he said to himself.

Kaoru kissed him and he felt his nightmares dissolve into thin air. Kenshin held her body, feeling those curves again, being intoxicated in her familiar scent.

"Didn't you have enough last night? Too bad, you'll have to wait till next time." She said seductively.

"Do I have a second choice?" he asked as he playfully slid his finger from her forehead, to her nose, mouth then to her chest and down to her stomach.

"No." she said biting her lip. She kissed the tip of Kenshin's nose, stood up and noticed the time. "If I were you, I'd get ready for work. It's not THAT early in the morning, ya' know."

Kenshin almost jumped out of his bed when he saw the time.

"Kaoru, would you mind if u-ummm.we took the shower together?"

"Why? Isn't there any more bathroom in your mansion?" she said laughing.

"There is, but it will really take time if I run to and from it to take a bath and get my things then dress up and."

Kenshin stopped in mid sentence because Kaoru pulled her inside the bathroom.

After taking the bath, Kenshin ran around the room, messing everything up. He only stopped when he saw Kaoru in her bathrobe, tapping her foot on the floor.

"Can't you still resist my charms?" Kenshin joked.

"Your charms? What, that scar? The red hair? Ha!"

"Then why are you still in your bathrobe? Do you want to stay here?"

"Do you want me to wear nothing?"

"If that's possible, why not?"

"I'm not joking, mister! If I may remind you, I was wearing a gown last night, and obviously, I cannot wear it again today."

"Let me see what I can do."

Kenshin scanned through his cabinets and wardrobes until he found a t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

"Here."

"Those clothes are for men. You don't expect me to wear them, do you?"

Kenshin scratched his head.

"Don't worry. They are only temporary. We'll drop by the boutique to buy you some decent clothes, okay?"

"No, you don't have to. After bringing you to work, I'll just ask Shinji to drive me home to change."

"That, I won't allow. I would never let the most beautiful lady go and walk on the streets wearing a pair of jeans and a man's shirt."

"Alright. I agree. But are you sure I won't disturb anything? With how you act, I think someone's chasing you."

Kenshin looked around the room and saw the mess he made. He sweatdropped (^.^;)

"It's Sanosuke. I promised to treat him today."

"And why is that? Do you owe him anything?"

"I owe him everything." Kenshin said as he winked at Kaoru.
