Hi everyone! How have ya been? I'm writing yet another K/K fic, are you guys getting tired of them? I decided to take a different approach to this. I'm fed up with writing serious fics, so I'm writing one that's very fluffy but a rather strange fic. It won't seem strange right now, but you'll see. Yes, Kenshin and Kaoru are a couple...Hah, Kenshin wishes! REALLY wishes...that kind of fic; bazaar, freaky, and wrong. Yeah that about sums it up. I think this one, it's for all of you. I could have never gotten this far without you all, thank you! I'm still working on individual fics. I don't really know if this is really a fic someone would like to read, so tell my what you think, thank you! ^_^

Kenshin tossed and turned in bed. Sleep just wasn't his priority right now. To him, living in the Kamiya Dojo seemed unreal. After ten whole years of wandering, he finally found a place where people actually and truly cared for him. He especially had strong and special feelings for the girl, Kaoru, that welcomed him here in the first place. She wasn't the only one who cared about him, there was Sano and Yahiko but they too were taken in by this girl. But he knew his feelings for her weren't innocent. They went against everything that made him a rurouni.

'God I want her...' he would think as he pictured how beautiful Kaoru was. He sighed sadly. 'But it seems so impossible. She's so innocent...' He remembered how she smiled at him all the time. It seemed like every time she did that, it cleansed him. 'She's so cute...oro? Where did THAT come from?!' He blushed at the thought, but he couldn't deny it. 'She...I have to admit, she's very cute when she smiles...especially if that smile is directed to me...' He thought about all the times they had together, when they first met, how she had allowed him to stay here. He remembered how mad she had gotten when he burst into the bathroom, thinking she was committing suicide. His eyes went dreamy, 'I still remember how beautiful she looked when I saw her...' he suddenly felt something wet... drool.

'Oro?! I have to stop thinking about these things! I shouldn't desire her like this!' He clenched his hand into a fist. 'But...I can't deny my feelings. I...I want to be with her so badly!' Once again, he sighed. 'I never thought I could fall so deeply in love with someone. I mean, even Tomoe, was I really and truly in love with her? That was a forced marriage.' He felt tense thinking about her again. 'I still feel bad about what happened with her...would I still---no, I had already decided to put that behind me. Tomoe was in the past. There's nothing I can do about that now.' He wanted to mentally slap himself. 'That was in my past. Kaoru even told me that she didn't care about it.' He did some serious thinking for a moment or two. 'I don't have to anymore, I will stop dwelling on my past. I don't want to be a rurouni anymore.' With that thought, he fell asleep; you could guess what he dreamed about.

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

"Kenshin? Oi, Kenshin!" Kenshin woke up with a jolt. 'Oro? Shoot, I slept in. That must be Yahiko at the door, probably hungry.' "Coming Yahiko, just give me a minute and I'll start breakfast."

"No need Kenshin," he said through the closed door. "I just wanted to tell you breakfast is ready, that's all." And he left. Kenshin was surprised. 'Someone cooked already?' [Yes everyone, Kaoru can cook here ^_^]

He dressed up into the usual pink gi and white hakama he always wore and somewhat fixed his hair before tying it in a ponytail again. Then he went out and headed into the kitchen. Sure enough, breakfast was already made and the table was set too.

"Ohayou Kenshin," Kaoru said emerging from the kitchen. "Hungry?" Kenshin smiled back stupidly. "Ohayou, did you do this Kaoru-dono?"

"Hai, I thought you needed a break so I cooked this time. You don't mind do you?" Kenshin shook his head. "Iie, of course not. You didn't have to do this, I could've cooked breakfast."

"Come on Kenshin, for once can you just take a break and stop working so much? You'll tire yourself out!" Kaoru reasoned crossing her arms. Kenshin smiled at her sweetly. 'Always worrying about me...' Kaoru noticed the way he was looking at her and felt herself turning pink. "Ano, is something on my face Kenshin?" she asked hoping he would buy it and stop looking at her. It was embarrassing. Kenshin eventually realized what he was doing and snapped out of his trance. 'Oh no, she caught me!'

"Gomen, gomen. Ano, where is Sano and Yahiko?" he asked trying to change the subject. "Oh them? Sano said he had promised to help Megumi at the clinic and Yahiko went to the Akabeko."

"I bet he wanted to see Tsubame ne?" Kenshin asked. Kaoru laughed. "I couldn't agree more with you. I'd say those too are getting pretty close ne?"

"Hai, I think so too," he replied happy that Kaoru didn't ask about what he had just done. "Does that mean it's just you and me then?" Kaoru smiled sheepishly. "I guess so." 'Oro...Kaoru and me...alone?'

"What's the matter Kenshin?" Kaoru asked. "You look like you're going to be sick." Again, Kenshin snapped out of his demeanor. "Bezuni, let's eat now." Kaoru studied him but didn't push the matter. "Hai, let's eat."

After dinner Kenshin and Kaoru washed the dishes and put them away. At the sink he couldn't help but scoot closer and closer to her, but she caught on to that. "Nee, Kenshin, what are you doing?" she asked eyeing him from the side. 'Oro! What AM I doing?' "S-Suman!" he said quickly moving a decent distance away, but not too far. 'What's with him this morning?' Kaoru thought as she watched him from the corner of her eyes which were hidden beneath her bangs so he wouldn't see. 'He's acting strangely.' She also noticed that he glanced at her every now and then. 'I really wish he wouldn't do that. It makes me feel uneasy. Demo, why do I like it?'

"I have a bath running, do you want to use it first?" Kaoru offered when they headed outside. "Iie, it's fine Kaoru-dono. You use it first, I'll go in after you," Kenshin said like he usually did. 'I don't know how much longer I can keep my composure. I have to stop this, I already decided I would start making my feelings known. I'll just start out slowly, I mustn't rush her.'

"Just use it Kenshin," Kaoru argued pushing him in. "Really now, can't you ever just think about yourself once in a while?"

"Hai hai," Kenshin answered back not resisting. He was in dreamland again.

"Is the water warm enough in there?" Kaoru asked. Kenshin poked his head out the window. "Aa, the water is perfect. Arigatou Kaoru-dono." 'It would be nice to finally drop the '-dono' that I always attached to her name. I'll do that eventually.'

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" she asked drying her hands on the apron she wore. Kenshin thought for a moment. 'I hope she doesn't dismantle me for this.' "Um, can you come in here for a minute?" Kaoru gaped at him. "What?"

"Just to wash my back, that's all. Please...Kaoru?" Her eyes widened. 'Did he just call me Kaoru?!' "I can't do that! That's indecent, only people who are married do that!" she reasoned blushing furiously. "Funny, I never had my back washed when I was married," he said resting his chin on the window sill. "Come on, just for a few minutes. Then I can wash your back if you like."

"M-My back? No! J-Just take your bath already okay, what has gotten into you???" 'I can't give up, not now!' Kenshin thought. A grin crept over his face. 'This just might work.'

"Naze?" he uttered. "I'll be holding my breath under water until you get yourself in here." With that, the blinds closed and no other sound was heard. "K-Kenshin!" Kaoru panicked. 'What the hell is up with him today?! This isn't the usual way he acts at all!' She was getting worried. 'Is he really holding his breath in there?' There was no way for her to open the blinds from the outside so she had no other option.

'I'm gonna have to go in. I'm going to kill him if he tries anything on me!' "Alright alright I'm coming!" Kaoru grumbled walking to the closed door. Kenshin lifted his head from the water hearing what she said. 'It really worked.' Suddenly he heard a loud 'conk'.

"OWOWOW!!!!" Kaoru screamed. Kenshin jerked up hearing her cry. 'OH no! What happened?!' "KAORU?!" he cried frantically. "What's wrong, are you alright?!" But she didn't answer.
