Okay I got it. I know it took a very long time before I got a new one up. I
was slow on this and even some others. Man I've thought and thought about
what I should put in this and I always ended up with a big headache -_-o
Anyhow, thank you for your patience and I'm sorry for being such a
slowpoke. ^_^
Chapter three: It's time
Kaoru bit down on the pain while Megumi arranged her arm in a sling. "Hold on, I'm almost finished," she told her tying the final knot. Kaoru nodded smiling. "I got distracted while I was training. Sorry about this."
"It's no problem really." Kaoru winced a little as she pulled the knot nice and tight. "There," she said, "I suggest you don't move it for a few weeks." Kaoru shrugged. "That means I can't train right?"
"I'm afraid so."
Kaoru walked out of Megumi's room with her arm in a sling. "This is perfect."
**********************************
**Come on Kenshin, ask her! You know you want to!** 'Sessha doesn't think that's a good idea. She's hurt and besides, sessha doesn't deserve to.' **Oh for heaven's sake what the hell is THAT suppose to mean?!** Kenshin was having yet another argument with the Hitokiri about whether or not he should ask Kaoru out. **You can do this you oaf! It's not like it's the end of the world!** 'Demo...if she says no then it probably will be...it will for sessha at least...' **Yamero!!! Will you stop it with the sessha thing?! It's driving me nuts and I'm sure that goes for Kaoru too! Besides how do you know she will say no?** 'Sessha is not sure, but if she does it's alright with me. Sessha doesn't deserve her anyway.' **Oh for-!!!**
"Kenshin what's going on?" Kaoru asked seeing him. His expression seemed to keep on changing. Kenshin turned around to see Kaoru standing in front of him, her arm in a sling. "Oro?? Kaoru-dono what are you doing up? You should be resting!"
"Oh come on Kenshin, not you too!" she whined. "Everyone's taking a shot at me today, and it's all because of this thing," she mumbled eyeing the sling. **Come on Kenshin now is your chance!!!!** 'I can't!' **WHY?!** 'Sessha doesn't-' **SAVE IT! It's not that hard you baka! Just do it already dammit!!!!** 'Demo, sessha-' **Sessha my ass!!!!! Ask! Now!!!!** 'Demo-' **Oh f*#% this!!!! I'll do it then!!!!!** 'No wait!!!'
"Kaoru!" Kenshin screamed and covered his mouth. Kaoru stared at him. Did Kenshin just scream her name? And without the 'dono'? What is going on? "Uh...hai, Kenshin?"
'Great, look what you did!!!! How is sessha suppose to get out of this?!' **Don't look at me!!!! Just go for it!!!!** 'Oh man...'
"Uh...uhm..." Kenshin stuttered. "Hai?" Kaoru asked again. **Come on this is dragging!!!!!** 'Don't rush me!!!'
"W...wouldyouliketohavedinnerwithme?" Kaoru blinked once. Then twice. "Uhm...I didn't get that."
**What the hell was that?!?!?!** 'Sessha tried!!!' **Oh f*#%! Do it right this time!!!!**
"I mean...wouldyouliketo...gooutwith-"
"Kenshin you're talking to fast, I can't understand what you are saying to me," Kaoru giggled. "Just take a deep breath and talk slowly okay?"
**How pathetic can a person be?!?!** 'Stop pressuring me!'
"Kaoru-dono, what sessha is trying to say is...would you...you know, like to have dinner with me sometime?" Kaoru blinked, again. "Kenshin, are...are you asking me out?"
"Um, well, hai. That is, if you want to-" Kaoru threw herself at him. "It's about time you asked; you have no idea how long I was waiting to hear that!"
"Oroooooo...does that mean yes?" he asked hugging her back a little awkwardly. "Of course you baka," she replied but felt a sudden pain. "Oww..."
"Kaoru-d-Kaoru are you alright?!" he asked totally forgetting about her arm. "Fine," she said using her good arm to get up. "But, when do you want me to go out with you?" she asked. Kenshin thought. "How about Sunday evening, sound good to you?" Kaoru smiled and nodded. "Sure thing, I'll remember that," she said and went off to change her clothes which had gotten dirty when she launched herself at him. Kenshin was in daydream mode. **Wake up genius!!!** 'Oro?!?! What now???' **When is Sunday?!?!?!** 'It's...oro!!!! That's tomorrow de gozaru!!!!!' **Damn you!!!! Just when I thought you couldn't get any stupider!!!!** 'Sessha is sorry de gozaru yo!!!'
*****************************************
Kenshin tossed and turned in bed. 'What am I going to do?' **Yeah ask yourself that question...** Kenshin groaned. 'Not you again.' **You shut up!!!! This isn't my fault!** 'You told sessha to ask!' **But you screwed it up!!!** This wasn't his day. First he made a fool of himself in front of the one person he loved, and now he's having yet another fight with his former personality.
**Where are you going to take her?** 'I...don't know.' **What are you going to wear?** 'What's wrong with my gi? It doesn't look that worn out does it?' **It has nothing to do with that!** 'Then what's wrong with it?' **...Would you use your head? Look at it!!!** 'What???' **It's pink!** 'It is not pink, it's fuchsia!' **For heaven's sake it's the same thing damn you!!!!** 'Well, what if sessha wears that red one, you know, the one Shishou gave me?' **Does that thing still fit us?!** 'I think so.' **WHAAAAAAT?! Don't tell me that old rag STILL fits us!!! You mean to tell me that after ten years you haven't grown at all?!?!** 'I've grown an inch.' **THAT DOESN"T COUNT!!!** 'Sessha is taller than Kaoru-d-Kaoru and that's all that matters.' **I guess but still, you could've grown a little taller!!! I mean look at you!!! Look at me!!! We're midgets!!!!!** 'Is it really that bad?' **Do you know guy who is shorter than you or me? And don't say Yahiko, I know you can't be that dumb! He's a kid!!!** 'Well...' **Name one enemy or guy we know that is shorter than us!** 'Can we stick to the point?' **Figures...** Kenshin grumbled out loud. For being a Hitokiri, his old friend sure was annoying.
**We might as well get to the basics.** 'What basics?' **Like, what are you going to say to her tomorrow?** 'Uhm...' **You know, and what are we going to do for this date?** 'Well...' **More importantly, what moves are we going to pull on her?** 'Oro?! It's our first date and you already want moves?!' **Oh come on!!! People always do...these things on dates. You could just start off and hold her hand or something.** 'Eto...' **And my god Rurouni I'll be damned if you don't at least kiss her!** 'Ahm...' **You can't ruin something as simple as a kiss!!! I may be trapped in here but my god I won't let it happen dammit!!!!!** Kenshin turned on his back and rested both arms behind his head, staring at the ceiling. An image of Kaoru smiling and holding her hand out to him appeared in his mind. He reached out to the empty air. "Kaoru..."
**Damn...** 'Oro?' **Sun's comin' out...** Kenshin groaned. **Come on, get up. We have to get everything planned out, though I don't know how we are going to pull through...** 'Sessha will have to and will find a way de gozaru.' **And you can start by dropping the 'sessha' act. I can't stand it.** Kenshin fixed himself up and changed out of his sleeping hakama. This was it.

I'm so sorry you all had to wait this long for such a short and sucky chapter...I just don't really know where I'm going to go with this one. I had been on writer's block with this for some time. Thank you all for the reviews and for waiting! Take care everyone! ^_^
