A.N: Awww...I feel so special from all those reviews.
Heh heh heh...I should be doing theory right now, but this is more interesting. *glares at harmony five test papers on desk* Hope this chapter is okay. I seriously think my writing skills are deteriorating.
Chapter Six
"Mmmm..." Megumi purred as she danced with Sanosuke slowly. She noticed that he was not paying any attention to her, but to something, or rather someone on the balcony. "Rooster head...BAKA!" she hit him on the side of the head.
Sanosuke winced. "What?"
"Who are you looking at?" she demanded.
The spikey-haired man gripped her waist tighter, pulling her closer to him. "Jealous?"
"Of course not," she replied.
He gently brushed his lips against her bare neck, letting the tip of his tongue flick out quickly. "Are you sure?" he whispered, as he gently bit the rim of her ear. Megumi didn't answer. "Look up," he murmured again. Megumi tilted her head to look up at the railing. She saw Kaoru cuddled up with her partner. She smiled to herself, Kaoru never dated, and here she was all curled up beside a man she hardly even knew.
"We're going to keep watch down here kitsune," Sanosuke breathed. Megumi nodded and placed her head on his chest once again.
* * * * * *
Kenshin had to admit this was one of his more enjoyable missions so far tonight. The girl in his arms shifted slightly and he loosened his hold on her to allow her to move. He marvelled at how she fit perfectly in his arms, and how he was so natural with her, although they only met tonight.
"Kenshin...watch out," Sano's voice whispered in his ear.
He pulled Kaoru towards him closer and nuzzled her neck. "You taste sweet," he whispered, loud enough that the group of girls that were passing could her. They gave Kaoru a look of disgust before moving on. Kaoru just smirked at them as she pressed herself closer to Kenshin.

Aoshi carefully flipped through papers with a gloved hand, looking for any form contact list. Elimination of the top circle was necessary to reach Miss. Lavender, whoever she was. It was rare to find pictures of her anywhere. He removed a book from one of the drawers in the desk. As his hands accidentally brushed the side of the drawer he felt a small crack.
"Interesting," he murmured before placing the book down on the desk and crouching down. Removing his glove he gently pulled open the small crack and felt inside. Taking the small package he placed it into a small pocket in his pants.
"Did you find anything?" Misao's voice came from another part of the room. Aoshi looked up and nodded before looking around the drawer again. "Oh good, what is it?" she bound over to him with a smile. He smiled inwardly. This girl had such energy.
Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the small package and handed it to her silently. Misao took the package and looked at it. It was wrapped in ornate paper that she recognized as Japanese made. The package probably held a thin book since it was about the length of her hand.
"We should go."
"Maybe there's something else."
"We shouldn't stay in here long..."
"Aoshi..." she said persistently looking him in the eye, "one more search doesn't hurt, besides Kaoru and Kenshin are guarding the door."
"Fine."
* * * * * *
Megumi narrowed her eyes as she saw a man and two women walking up the stairs heading for Kenshin. "Sano..." she whispered turning him around slightly so he could see.
"That's Taki Dominic Chan," Sano murmured in a surprised tone. "Rumoured to be part of the upper circle close to Miss. Lavender."
"Head of a large clothing line down in the States as well," Megumi replied, "I'm surprised he's here."
"Bastard isn't up to anything decent. Those two girls by his side do not look like associates, but rather as something else..." he trailed off eyeing the curves of one of the girls and her dress's gaping neckline. Megumi hit him in the shoulder hard. "Sorry kitsune," and he gently kissed her lips.
She sighed and wrapped her arms tightly around Sanosuke. "How am I supposed to keep dating you if you're always looking at the other girls Sanosuke?" She pulled his head closer to hers, until their foreheads were touching.
"I'm not going to look at any other girls ever again, other than you, I promise you."
"You made the same promise last week," she replied pushing him away and stepping off the dance floor.
The spiky-haired man rushed after the girl and caught her in his arms. "Please Megumi." He laid butterfly kisses on her neck, before turning her around completely. "Koishii..." Megumi rolled her eyes and looked away, still held in her boyfriend's arms. He flicked his tongue out to taste her skin, which caused her to squirm slightly. Sanosuke smirked, he knew he won. He captured her lips in a heated kiss that Megumi could not pull away from. Still kissing they moved into a more secluded area of the room.
* * * * * *
Kaoru jabbed Kenshin in the stomach gently as she saw someone coming upstairs. She scanned the bottom floor for any sight of her friend and her partner/boyfriend/lover. She caught them in a secluded corner kissing. She huffed to herself in frustration and turned to Kenshin. She could tell he was not pleased as well.
Kenshin absently wrapped an arm around the girl when he saw Sanosuke. Then he saw the three people walking up the stairs, and were now moving closer to them. There was one man, in his late forties, and two women in possibly their early twenties. He had one arm encircled around each girl's waist. Kenshin cringed inwardly in disgust, these girls were half the man's age.
"Gross," he heard Kaoru muttered. They seemed to be heading directly for the room Aoshi and Misao were in. Kaoru thought quickly and grabbed Kenshin by the neck and pressed her lips against his, moving to the door.
The red-head froze for a moment. What the hell was she doing? He felt himself being led towards the door and finally understood her plan. Kenshin pushed Kaoru against the door to the study and now kissed a path down to her neck. He heard Kaoru moan softly, adding to the effect they were trying to create. She gripped the back of his shirt tightly.
He moved back to her mouth and kissed her and then gently bit her bottom lip. He heard Kaoru kick the heel of her shoe to the door. In the corner of his eye Kenshin saw the man and the two girls were now observing them. "I can't wait to get you tonight," he murmured nuzzling his nose with hers.
"Mmhm..." Kaoru replied with a slight giggle.
The man coughed behind them and the two looked up. Kenshin put on a smirk, while Kaoru's eyes went wide and innocent. "Ahem...I need to get into the room, you two are...blocking my way."
"Sorry, we were a bit...caught up," Kenshin replied, pausing slightly in the middle of his sentence. He kept one arm around Kaoru's waist holding her close to him.
"Not surprised coming from you Hideaki," the man murmured before making way for the door handle. He paused and turned his head. "There are other rooms in this house, if you need them."
Kenshin nodded. "Thank you."
The man entered the room with his two girls and promptly shut it. A click could be heard from the inside as the door locked. Aoshi and Misao soon appeared.
Kenshin and Aoshi walked a bit behind them, as the two girls chatted together as they went down the stairs.
"Did you find it?" Kenshin asked.
"I think so." There was silence between the two men. "I saw you and Kaoru."
"It was a distraction."
"Oh really," Aoshi asked with a tone of disbelief, "looked a little too heated to be a distraction, other than to yourselves."
"It was an act," Kenshin replied again.
"Could put on a "different" act to distract the man," the taller of the two replied.
"Sanosuke and Megumi were distracted and didn't give us a warning. She improvised quickly," the red-head tried to explain.
Kaoru looked back and gave Kenshin a bright smile. "Do you want a drink?"
"Anything non-alcoholic would be fine. Thank you," he replied.
"We'll be where Megumi and Sanosuke are," Kaoru replied, "I'll meet you there."
Kenshin nodded and watched the two girls go off. He saw Aoshi fix him a look. "You're lying to yourself, you like her," Aoshi said softly. The two remained silent as they walked their way towards Megumi and Sanosuke.
* * * * * *
"What was that?" Misao asked turning Kaoru around once the two men were gone.
"What?"
"Your little "thing" with that red-head, what's his name..."
"...Kenshin. That little "thing" was a distraction to let your guys out using the next door. I had to improvise considering Megumi and Sanosuke were making out on the ground floor and were too caught up with each other to warn us before hand."
"Excuses, excuses, bottom line: You like him. You two are cute together too! You should go out with him."
"That was quick."
"What? It's not like you've dated anyone else before, other than that psycho freak Enishi."
"That was ages ago back in grade ten," Kaoru argued. "I don't have time right now, and I can't believe you're arguing with me like this! It's as if we're back in grade eight again!"
"What?" Misao asked with a shrug. "I'm just helping you look for potentials here. That's what best friends are for."
Kaoru sighed. "This is ridiculous."
"I'll stop bothering you then, but tell me one thing."
"Shoot."
"Is he a good kisser?"
Kaoru looked down at her shoes and then looked back up with a glint in her eye. "Undeniably. Now I feel so immature." Misao laughed and linked an arm with hers and walked over to the bar.
* * * * * *
The night was finally over an hour later as the six made their exit. Sano was getting an earful from Kenshin, Aoshi, Misao and Kaoru as they yelled at him for not paying attention. Megumi just sat quietly laughing internally as they did not pin her as the culprit.
The limo stopped off at the girl's house first. Sanosuke walking Megumi to the house, and then lingering by the doorway kissing until Saitoh kicked him back into the limo. The other two men whacked him again when he returned with a bump on his head.
"So that's done and over," Sanosuke replied as the three lounged in their den watching late night comedy.
"No thanks to you," Aoshi muttered.
Sanosuke chose to ignore him. "Who's up for some hardcore boarding tomorrow?"
"As long as you're driving," Kenshin replied.
"Fine, so boarding it is."
