Daddy's Ten Rules of Engagements

Prologue- Meet the parents…oro!

   I'm not nervous de gozaru. Really, I'm not.

   She glanced at me from her passenger seat, her hair flowing gracefully behind. She brushed some lose strands behind her ear and smiled.

   That smile. Her smile. So sweet.

   Her warm, soft hands rested on my large ones, squeezing it lightly.

   "Nervous?" she asked.

   "Only if you want me to be." I smiled and gave her a peek on the cheeks.

   She blushed and exclaimed, "Mou! Pay attention on driving Kenshin!"

   I loved it when she blushed like that; it made her look so adorable. Turning my hands, I intertwined my fingers with hers. My gaze fell back on the road in front of me, the radio station was buzzing about some ongoing updates.

   Incase you haven't noticed, sitting beside me with a cute blush on her cheeks is Kaoru- my fiancé. That's right. We're getting married. And here comes the interesting part, I'm going to meet her parents, that I am.

   Oro!

   That was my first reaction when Kaoru told me about it a few days ago. She giggled and told me it will be fine, that her parents are very eager to see me, this young lad.

   Young lad?

   Somehow I knew this wasn't going to be easy.

   I peeked at her from the corner of my eye. She was leaning against the rim with her head resting on her palm. She wasn't looking at me though, but her hands stayed with mine alright.

   Demo, thinking back the old days, when Kaoru and I first met, all the worry had been washed away from me, and I knew that I have to make the best impression out of it.

   If not for me, then for Kaoru.

   She was my everything, my smile, my happiness, my life. Everything I do is for her. Sometimes when I wake up, I would grin like an idiot just because I am going to see my koishii later in the evening.

   Nothing is going to change the way I feel about her. And I knew… neither would she.

   And I lived for that.

   "You're grinning like an idiot, Kenshin."

   Oro… well, I think that's enough for that, isn't it de gozaru?

   "We're almost there," Kaoru told me.

   My stomach churned and I tightened my grip on her hands. She must've sensed it as she patted my arm. "Don't worry. I'll make sure they'll go easy on you. Besides, they will be your parents soon." She giggled.

   Hey! I'm supposed to be the one who makes her blush!

   Stopping the car with a slow halt, my hands never left the steer wheel. I paused, looking at the house a few meters away. I could hear the blood drumming in my ears repeatedly.

   We're here.

   "Kenshin?"

   I continued to stare.

   "Kenshin!" she snapped.

   "Oro! N-nani?" I tried to focus on her, but I failed while only my heart pounds reached my senses.

   She stared at me worriedly and touched my face, that spot burned.

   "Are you all right? Your face is all red," she said gently, and I could feel her temperate breath on my face. I swallowed.

   "I-I'm fine." I managed.

   "Honto?"

   "A-ah de gozaru."

   She didn't look like she believed me. I tried to cover my whole anxiety up while I babbled, "What a beautiful day today is! Erm…" My eyes wondered up to the sky. "T-the sky! It was so blue…" I trailed off. Kaoru kept her silence.

   I'm such a failure.

   "K-koishii-" she sealed my words off with a simple kiss on my lips, stopping me completely. She got me there, didn't see that one coming. I was surprised at first, but slowly I melted into her kiss and brought my arms around her fragile form, pulling her closer.

   "I know you're nervous Kenshin, you don't have to hide it from me you know…" she said after we broke the kiss.

   She understands me so well. Yup, I smiled proudly, that's my girl.

   "Gomen," I apologized.

   "Don't be." She smiled too, "Are you ready?"

   To tell the truth, I don't think I'll ever be ready. But just by watching her face, it feels like I can do anything. With her by my side, anything is possible.

   Gathering up all my courage, I let out a simple answer.

   "Hai. I'm ready de gozaru."

   I haven't got a clue on what will happen, but boy was I in for a surprise for what horror that waited for me. Right behind that set of doors.
