Chapter 4: Making out?!
Kaoru went to school early. She yawned. "Augh! I'm so unlucky! I didn't get at least 4 hours to sleep!" she hollered. When she stepped inside the school campus, many students, including the middle school-ers, were looking at the bulletin board. It was a crowd.
"Is this really true?" the people murmured to each other.
"Excuse me! Ah! Sumimasen! Gomen nasai!" Kaoru said as she got through the crowd. She looked at the bulletin board and was shocked.
The pictures of Kenshin and Kaoru...together at the playground yesterday!
"What the--?!" Kaoru exclaimed. She saw some pictures when Kaoru wiped the blood from Kenshin's face, when Kenshin held her hand, and when they smiled at each other. She also read the newspaper in the school.
BATTOUSAI AND THE TANUKI, MAKING OUT?
"GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" Kaoru exclaimed as she tore the paper and crumpled it. She also tore away the pictures on the bulletin board. "What are all these crazy gossips?! We're NOT MAKING OUT!!!!" She stomped her way to the hallway when the bell rang. She saw no people around. They were all in their classes already. "At least I'm alone." She sighed.
"You're not."
Kaoru was surprised and turned her head toward the direction of the voice. "Kenshin?"
"Ohayo de gozaru, Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin said, smiling cheerfully.
Kaoru was a bit annoyed. "How can you be smiling when there's a gossip on us?!"
"It's because you told me to always smile, Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin said, still smiling.
Kaoru grabbed on Kenshin's right ear and pulled him towards the school garden. "Kenshin no baka! This is a serious matter!"
"Oro?" was all Kenshin said.
"We're just friends, aren't we?" Kaoru said as she sat on the soft grass.
Kenshin didn't give a response. He sat beside Kaoru and looked at the sky.
"Kenshin."
"..."
"Kenshin?"
"Huh? Ah. Gomen, Kaoru-dono... But the truth is I like you. You gave me a new life and it feels so great to be happy. Arigatoo again, Kaoru-dono." Kenshin whispered, not looking at her.
Kaoru smiled, but with sadness. She looked down on her knees. "I shouldn't have asked that to him... I...want us to be more than just friends...more than best friends..." She stole a glance on Kenshin.
Kenshin was still looking up at the sky and was smiling. "Kaoru-dono, I've decided to make a non-killing vow." He said.
"That's great! Then you will be always cheerful!" Kaoru said. "Although I'm not." She thought to her self and coughed two times.
"Arigatoo." Kenshin said then proceeded to look at the sky.
"Because of my tactfulness, the man I loved before left me... I was childish...and it was my fault that I fell in love with that man when I was only 13 years old... My heart broke when I heard that he already has a fiancée, and I was lost. I don't want to experience that painful feeling again. I don't want to lose...Kenshin..." Kaoru thought as she stared at Kenshin without letting him notice it, or so she thought.
Kenshin was staring at her too. He knew that Kaoru was in a deep problem.
Kaoru rested her head on Kenshin's shoulder and sighed.
Kenshin didn't mind.
Aoshi... Where are you...?
Meanwhile...
"The gossip spreads so quickly, I didn't know that it would be a hit in the school campus." Yahiko said in a classroom. "What do you want me to do to them? I'll do anything as long as it has large money." He exclaimed.
"I want you to go to Kaoru and let her forget about Ken-san." A woman said to Yahiko. "OHOHOOO!!! The rooster-head will be jealous if he finds out that I'm flirting at Ken-san!"
Meanwhile...again...
"ACHOO!!" Kaoru suddenly said, making Kenshin jump at surprise. "Someone's talking about me!" she said while sniffing on her handkerchief.
"Oro! Kaoru-dono, you sneeze so loud!" Kenshin said, scratching his head. He turned away to walk, but... "ORO!!!!"
"You're not going to get away from me after what you said, darling!!!!" Kaoru exclaimed as she choked Kenshin at his neck. She let go of the neck and sighed again. "Forget about it!" Kaoru whispered then sniffed.
"Wait. Where are you going, sweet girl?" Kenshin said, while pulling Kaoru's pony tailed hair suddenly. "The way to the classroom is this way."
"ACK!" Kaoru exclaimed. "Kenshin! What were you doing with my hair?!" Kaoru exclaimed and grabbed a bokken out of nowhere. She hit Kenshin's head with it.
"Oro???" Kenshin exclaimed.
"Hey, jouchan."
Kaoru stopped hitting Kenshin's head and bowed. "Sagara sempai! Konnichiwa."
"Call me Sanosuke, jouchan." Sanosuke said. He looked at Kenshin. "Hmm... You changed a lot. You were affected by the talkativeness of this tanuki!" Sanosuke said, while pulling Kaoru's pony tailed hair.
"Stop pulling my hair and what do you mean my talkativeness?!" Kaoru exclaimed as she hit Sanosuke's head with her bokken, much harder than Kenshin's.
"Easy, easy!" Sanosuke exclaimed.
Click!
Sanosuke, Kaoru, and Kenshin stopped laughing. They heard something.
Click! Click!
The three looked at each other then smirked.
"Well, jouchan, Kenshin, better go!" Sanosuke said, placing his arms on his head and walking away slowly from Kenshin and Kaoru.
"Bye, bye, Sanosuke!!" Kaoru said while waving her handkerchief. "OHOHOHOO!" She suddenly stopped acting. "Wait. Isn't that Megumi's laugh that I just blurted out? Hmp! She's really influential!" Kaoru thought.
Kenshin smiled at Kaoru, knowing her thoughts. But suddenly, he heard a different sound. It was familiar. He heard it when he was still an assassin. He looked carefully on the bushes. "Maybe it's..."
Click! "Heh! This is really going to be a big issue! I'll write in the headlines that the rooster-head and the Battousai are fighting because of busu! AHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Sanosuke picked up Yahiko. "Hmm? A middle school-er?" Sanosuke asked.
"Hey! Let me go!!" Yahiko exclaimed, as he tried to get out of Sanosuke's hands.
"Ok."
"AAH!!" Yahiko said as he fell down on the grass.
Kenshin suspiciously looked around the bush again.
Battousai.
"Huh?"
Battousai. Meet your doom.
"Udo Jin'eh?!" Kenshin exclaimed.
"Heh. Battousai, you must beat me first or else your present government officials will be killed one by one." Jin'eh said. "Hehehe..."
"Wait!" Kenshin said, running after him.
Kaoru suddenly noticed that Kenshin was out of sight. "K-Kenshin?!"
Sanosuke ran past by her.
"Sanosuke! Have you seen Kenshin?" Kaoru asked.
"Don't follow us jouchan! This is dangerous!" Sanosuke exclaimed. "It's Udo Jin'eh, the one who's killing the government officials one by one. If I get to kill this guy, hey, there's a reward that I will spend in dice and sake!!" he thought as he ran after Kenshin.
Kaoru looked worriedly at Sanosuke. "Where's Kenshin...?" She heard someone walking away. She turned her head and saw Yahiko escaping slowly. "Hey you!"
"Gulp!"
"Where do you think you're going?!" Kaoru exclaimed as he grabbed Yahiko by his collar. "Who sent you?"
"M-Megumi Takani!!" Yahiko exclaimed.
"Megumi? It's she who set me up?! Why that fox!!!" Kaoru exclaimed. She looked again where Sanosuke had run past by. "I hope they're all right."
"OHOHOO!!"
"But I've got to worry this lady fox first." Kaoru exclaimed and held her bokken tightly. "Wait. What's your name?"
"Why do I have to tell you?" Yahiko exclaimed.
Kaoru hit Yahiko's head with her bokken. "Because I'll hit you again if you don't!"
"Sheesh! It's Yahiko! Myoujin Yahiko!" Yahiko exclaimed.
"Well, this is the end of your blackmail, Megumi." Kaoru thought as she went inside the school quadrangle. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- 0-0-0-0-0-
