Kaoru was cooking up her lunch when Kenshin came in through the door. He was watching silently trying to see what was being prepared. "Miss Kaoru, do you need any help?" He picked the knife and started to chop the carrots and potatoes lying on the counter uncut. She wasn't really paying attention, and then bumped into him. "AAH!" Her heart was beating hard. She calmed herself, "Don't SCARE me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack." She waved her big knife in her hand, making Kenshin scared to death, trying to avoid the knife and being cut up into little pieces. "Ah, Miss Kaoru, the knife, please! The knife!"

Behind her he saw something starting to burn. Black smoke came up from the pan on the flame. Then it burst into flames. BIG flames. Kaoru stopped waving the knife around and smelled the air.

"Do you smell something funny, Kenshin?" She turned around, "AAH! The lunch! It's gone. Do something Kenshin! Save it!"

Kenshin grabbed what he saw, a vase full of flowers. Threw them to Kaoru, who caught it in a heap on the floor in surprise, and watched as he drowned the flames in water. The food sizzled in the pan. They both looked into the pan. Kenshin took a fork and poked at it, but it was all burnt.

"Now, what do we do?" She frowned. She started cleaning up the mess.

"How about I cook you something? You just relax and enjoy yourself. Go on, Miss Kaoru." He pushed her out of the kitchen with his rurouni smile on his face. "Wait- Kenshin. But, but. Oh, fine." She left him in the kitchen.

~*half an hour later*~

"Kenshin?" Kaoru poked her head through the doorway. 'Mm. Whatever Kenshin's cooking, it smells really good.' "Could I help?" Kenshin turned around and nodded, pointing at the potatoes laying on the counter. "Sure, Miss Kaoru. Cut them into little strips so we can fry them."

"Um. Thanks for offering to cook. I was never the one to cook. You don't want to know what happened when I worked in a restaurant as a part-time job. It was awful." She giggled as she remembered the mayhem with the customers and lay off by the manager. She was relived when he said that she didn't have to cook anymore but be a waitress. And he said that he strongly suggested it. She was always flustered in the kitchens trying to remember what stuff she was supposed to use.

Kenshin glanced back to how Kaoru was doing. He slipped his arms around hers and started showing her how to chop faster with his hands covering hers. She was still in her dreamworld and shivered back into reality when she felt hot breath on her neck.

"Here Miss Kaoru, this is how you chop." His voice trailed into her ears. They stayed some time like that. Kenshin finally tentatively slipped away from Kaoru, bowing his head, with his fiery bangs trying to hide his blushing red hot face. Kaoru was blushing equally as hard as Kenshin but continued chopping the way Kenshin taught her.

'Eee! He hugged me. Eee! I just about love him now.' Kaoru was celebrating in her head for the cute moment. Kenshin was too. Though he didn't mean for it, he just did it without thinking.

They joked and laughed throughout the lunch that Kenshin made and enjoyed each other's presence. Well, flirted was more like it.
