On with the story. . .

Chapter Five

Kenshin took Kaoru hand and led her over to the bar as if concerned she'd run away. He looked up at the bar, making sure that it was the one Katsura had told him of. 'Yep. This is the place. . .' he thought. The sign said in big letters, "TOKISHI'S BAR. SPECAIL TODAY!!!" Kenshin rolled his eyes.

Kaoru looked behind her. "Who is that following us?" she whispered to Kenshin, getting a bit closer in fear it could be a stalker. 'Get a hold of yourself, Kaoru!!!' Kaoru nearly giggled with the delight of being so close to him.

Kenshin snorted. "That moron, Noyu," he told her. 'Insane freak. . .' he thought to himself. 'Katsura probably told him to tag along. That or he decided it himself. Idiot. . .'

"Oh."

They continued walking into the bar. Kenshin looked over to a table where a well-disguised Katsura sat clumsily, trying to act like all the other drunken people in here. Katsura raised his glass to him and smiled. Katsura had Kaoru sit next to him.

"Now, my dear, you must understand that for this bar here it is a special day. Several famous people are coming and if Tokishi fails he looses his job. That's our goal. For him to loose his job," he whispered to her.

Kaoru nodded and shrugged when Kenshin rolled his eyes again. Kenshin watched her every move, as if taking notes of her in his mind. 'Her 'tude needs to change. And fast." He thought.

Kaoru was about to say something sassy when she remembered her promise and asked, "What must I do. . . Katsura-sama?" She blushed a bit when Katsura began to laugh a hearty laugh. 'Katsura seems to be much nicer then Kenshin is. . .' she thought.

Katsura laughed. "Such a polite little girl!" he cried. 'Oh I've got to have some part of this story. . .' he thought.

The waitress came along asking what they wanted to drink. She took one look at Kaoru and her eyes grew big and she burst out, "TOMA!!! You naughty girl! Running off again with men!" she cried.

Kaoru stuttered. "I'm sorry but you have the wrong person," she said politely, hoping this lady would understand. She nearly growled with irritation when the woman did not understand.

The waitress rolled her eyes. "Stop being so annoying, Toma! They need you back stage! If you don't get all your stuff on in five they'll start the show without you!!!" she cried. "And this is a big night so you better not mess up!"

Kaoru got irritated. "You've got to understand, you must be mistaking me for somebody else! My name isn't Toma it's. . ." she couldn't say anymore when the waitress interrupted her very rudely.

"Uh huh. Right. Now come on! You're on in five! We better hurry up and get your makeup and dress on! You better remember all your lines!" the waitress pulled Kaoru over to the backstage.

Before Kenshin could do anything about this whole commotion, he was interrupted by Noyu who cried out, "OI! HIMURA, HOW YOU. . ." he couldn't say anymore when Katsura and Kenshin put their hands over his mouth.

"Shut up you moron! You'll blow our cover!" Kenshin hissed. He looked around to see if anybody had seen or heard that, but realized they were all too busy staring at the beautiful woman who had just walked onstage. Kenshin gave a quick smile and realized what this "Toma" girl had to do.



The waitress had dressed Kaoru into a golden sparkling dress that clung prettily to her skin. It was sleeveless and had cuts up the dress from the bottom to the waist, showing her legs a bit.

Music began to play and it was obvious to Kaoru that she needed to start singing and dancing. Fortunately for her, this was Tokishi's favorite song and she had done it before for him. She really loved to sing and dance, just not for Tokishi. 'Just focus of Kenshin,' she thought to herself.

Kenshin looked at Tokishi. Apparently the man didn't recognize his missing fiancé; what with all the makeup she had on. He smiled as he watched Kaoru dance. 'She's beautiful . . . he thought to himself.

Singing the song with all her might, Kaoru spun about dizzily, her golden dress sparkling in the lights that shown on her. She did a whole bunch of fancy tricks that her dance teacher had taught her. Oh how she loved to dance! 'For Kenshin. . .' she thought.

She noticed much more then one or two of the men hungrily hanging onto the stage; their mouths wide open in awe at the beautiful woman. Even Kenshin found that his jaw had opened too, and heard Noyu snicker. Noyu stopped when he saw Kenshin deadly glare.

There was a pause in the music when Kaoru held one note in the middle of the song. She walked over to the front of the stage where all the men sat and bended over and grabbed the top of one of the men's ties.

She began to slowly walk back a bit and pulled the wide-eyed businessman with her. She finally let her hand run down the tie and let go on the bottom of it. She winked seductively at him and he howled with delight, apparently having drunk way too much.

Kenshin nearly got up when he saw this. 'How dare she flirt with that man! Arggg. . . .' he thought. But he sat back down when he saw Katsura shake his head. 'She's going to pay for that. . .' he thought, frowning.

Finally the song was over and Kaoru ran off stage. Kenshin went after her. He grabbed her shoulders. "This is what you must do! Make thunder and make the lights go out!" he told her.

Kaoru nodded, a slight frown on her face. Kenshin watched as her eyes turned pale aqua. 'The storm begins. . .' he thought, as thunder was heard overhead. He closed his eyes in pain of his ears when there were many screams from the bar when the lights went out and it turned pitch black dark.
