Chapter 4

disclaimer: I don't feel like doing this. ::sigh:: Really I don't. ::sirens in background:: OK, OK! I don't own it! I don't!

Warning: Where did my Battousai go? Hmm. ::Battousai trying to run away from MyrMyr. Actually shaking with fear:: Oh, where are you? ::finds him and hugs him a lot:: Yay! On to the story, people! I'm feeling happy here.

~* Re-Cap*~

Then they found their bedroom where they were going to sleep. It was a very inclosed room with only one bed and one blanket. On the pillow there was a note:

Hey Kenshin and Kaoru!

Hope you enjoyed your dinner and found your stuff already placed in the bathroom. You'll be staying here until we feel like coming back, so get comfy in your new home. There's enough food to last a lifetime, don't worry. We might be cruel to lock you inside a mini house, but we're not THAT cruel. Or are we?

Your Cruel Matchmakers, Sanosuke + Megumi

P.S. There's only one bed, so enjoy yourselves!

Kaoru and Kenshin looked at the note in horror, then at each other.

~*Re-Cap*~

They just stood there thinking of how to get out of this mess. Time seemed to slow down.

"Miss Kaoru, you have the honor of sleeping on the bed. I'll be fine on the floor." Kenshin had such a warm smile that you couldn't just say no to, but Kaoru was different. She wouldn't give in. "No. Kenshin, There's enough space for the both of us." She said while pointing at the bed. "I won't take no as an answer. Either we both take the bed or I'LL take the floor." Kaoru said with her arms crossed and her eyes closed in defiance. "I won't break. I can take it so treat me as your equal. Humph." She waited to listen what Kenshin had to say.

"...."

"Kenshin? What do you have to say for yourself?" She opened her eyes. "Well?"

"Orororororororo!" He was swirly eyed on the floor. He couldn't believe this Kaoru. "If-if you say so, Miss Kaoru...."

"I'll take that as a yes." She walked off into the bathroom while Kenshin got up from the floor. "Um. Don't worry, Kenshin. I don't bite." And closed the door behind her. Kenshin once again lay sprawled on the floor with swirls in his eyes.

~*~

They both tentatively slipped into the bed, trying not to touch each other as much as possible. But that was quite impossible. He was a nervous wreck, laying on his side as stiff as a board. Kaoru was blushing madly, wishing she took back what she said before and mentally kill Sanosuke and Megumi for this.

~*~

'Okay. Carefully, carefully.' He tried to move slightly more to the left, away from Kaoru but unsuccessfully, brushing against her more than ever. 'I can't believe that I'm sleeping with such a beautiful woman. No! Not like that! Bad, don't think like that!' Kenshin blushed slightly from that thought.

'I'm going to KILL them. LITERALLY kill them. I'll use weapons and torture them. Unless I if do something else...' Kenshin glanced at Kaoru and saw a menacing dark look on her face. That worried him a bit. If looks could kill, it would kill.

"Um, Miss Kaoru...?" He asked nervously at what she thought about.

"Hm? Yes, Kenshin. What is it?" Her expression changed as quick as lightning to innocent surprise. Kenshin couldn't believe it, and sweat- dropped anime style. "Ah, well. Nothing, never mind!" That caused her to pout cutely wondering why he didn't share what he was going to say. Kenshin absent-mindedly gazed at her for some time with a silly smile on his face, thinking in his head how cute she was doing that. Kaoru's eyes caught onto Kenshin's and stayed there.

Blushed severely, they turned themselves to face away from one another but both their back touched. That sent shivers up their spine, feeling warmth from each other and both fell asleep.

They did sleep comfortably. Ve-e-ry comfortably.

AN: Well, did you like it? I didn't... ::weeps:: I'm not good at all at doing fluffy stuff. ::weeps some more:: And I think there was a little bit of OCC in there. I'm not sure. How long should they stay there? Hmm.

Yare, yare.

Ps. I'll update soon!
