Charter three ~

**********

They reach Kaoru's house about 15 minutes later. Even Sano had to agree that she was a mad driver. Her house was quite big. It's double storey bungalow with a garden around it.

"You're staying here alone?," Sano asked curiously.

"No. with my brother. My parents died when I was seven," she replied in a grim expression.

"Sorry," Sano said.

"Iie nevermind," she replied as she rushed to the kitchen.

She and Misao were cutting vegetables when Kenshin came in. He's in his normal expression eyes that seems to look through people instead of looking at them.

"Do you need help?," he asked.

"Sure. Thanks, you can cut the carrot," Kaoru replied with a smile.

Kenshin nodded as he picked up the knife and begin cutting it in an incredible speed.

"Wow , how did you do that?," Misao asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's nothing," he replied in a cold tone.

"Itai," Kaoru yelled when her hand was poured by hot water.

"Daijoubu?," Kenshin said as she rushed to her side to examine her hand.

"Daijoubu," she replied with a smile.

"No. You're not," Kenshin said as he washed her hand with cold water.

"Why did he even care?," she thought inwardly.

"Now go and put on some oinment. I'll cook," he said as he pushed both Kaoru and Misao out of the kitchen.

**********

"He seems to care for you a lot," Misao teased Kaoru as she put some oinment on her hand.

"Misao," Kaoru yelled as she blushed.

"She's right. I never see him care for someone before," Sano added in. just before Kenshin came into the dining hall holding a tray of dishes.. It smells delicious. He put down the tray on the table and too a seat.

"I'm sorry. I'm suppose to cook here," Kaoru said in a guilty tone.

Kenshin just shook his head in response as they started eating.

"Oishii," Kaoru and Misao said cheerfully.

"I didn't know you can cook. In fact , you cook better than I do," Kaoru said as she blush.

"Even a man could cook better than I could," she thought inwardly.

"Well Kaoru , your cooking's horrible," Misao teased as Sano burst out in laughter while Kenshin remain silent.

"Misao , Sano," she said in a dangerous tone while getting up and chasing them around the house hitting them with pillows.

**********

"Why don't you stay here tonight? It's getting late," Kaoru asked excitedly.

"Well. Thank you," Sano answered before Kenshin protest.

"Okay. I'll get ready the guest room," Kaoru said excitedly and left the hall. It was a good timing that Yahiko that noisy brat are staying in his friends house.

"Well , it's ready," she said about 10 minutes later.

"Wanna play some games? It's Sunday tomorrow," Kaoru asked. innocently.

"Sure," both Sano and Misao replied childishly.

So they started playing games while Kenshin remain sitting on the sofa. Kaoru got up a moment later and headed towards the kitchen. She came out a moment later as she approached Kenshin. She handed him a cup of green tea.

"Thanks," he said.

"Don't you wanna play?," she asked a moment later.

"I don't want to," he replied.

"Oh , come on. it's fun," she said with a smile as she dragged him towards them.

"Here," she said as she handed him the control. He took it and started to play. At first he was not enjoying it until when he started to absorb into it , he didn't realize them staring at him with a grin. " He seems like he's having fun," Kaoru thought inwardly with a smile.

**********

Kenshin woke up the next morning. They had slept in the hall instead of sleeping in the room that Kaoru had prepared. They were too exhausted to crept back to their room. Kaoru's head was lying on Kenshin's lap while he's sitting on the sofa. He blushed at the contact. Misao and Sano was sleeping on the floor.

"Ohayou," Kenhsin whispered to the sleeping Kaoru.

Kaoru stirred and opened her eyes slowly. She then remembered her position. She blushed as she got up quickly.

"Komenasai," she said.

He just shook his head in response and Kaoru got up to woke Sano and Misao. It was strange how fast she could be friend Sano even if they had only known each other for about a day.

"Ohayou," Misao and Sano said sleepily as they salute to Kaoru and Kenshin.

"Ne wanna go to the amusement park?," Kaoru ask excitedly.

"I would like to but I'm going out later," Sano replied while he clasped his hand together in an apologetic look.

"Me too. I'm going town with my mom," Misao replied.

"So Kenshin , will you go with me?," Kaoru ask pleadingly.

He was about to say no but he saw her pleading look , it soften him. He nodded slowly.

"Thank you. I'll go get ready then," she said as she rushed to her room.

"What happened to him? I thought that he'll surely decline,": Misao and Sano both thought inwardly as they stare at him in a suspicious look. Kenshin merely sat on the sofa expressionless.

**********

Misao and Sano had already left when Kaoru came out from her room. She was dressed in a tight white T-shirt with a baggy pants. Her hair had been left down. It reached the length of her waist.

"They went back," Kenshin replied after seeing her expression.

"Oh I see. So I'll fetch you home now to get change," she said as they get into the car.

**********

"Why don't you come down and wait inside? I'll be long," Kenshin asked.

Kaoru nodded and went into his house. There were many servants in the house.

"Sit," he said just before he left.

She look around his house with an awe expression. He came out a moment later . He was dressed in a black shirt with a black pants. He wore a cap to cover his red hair. She understand that he doesn't want anybody to recognize him in the amusement park. They left the house silently.
