Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.
A/N: This is just a little something I came up with when I remembered about Sadie Hawkins dances, where the girls ask the guys. This one is going to be a K&K story. It is going to be 3 chapters or more but less than 10 depending on where I'm going with it. And in case you were wondering why I have it titled Sadie Hawkins Pt 1 it's because I'm going to have Part 2 and 3 come out after this one; part 2 will be Aoshi and Misao and part 3 will be Sanosuke and Megumi. So please enjoy the first chapter.
Summary: Kaoru is a sophomore in high school who has had a crush on one of her close childhood friends, Kenshin since freshman year. As the Sadie Hawkins dance approaches will she ask him or back out? And what will happen afterwards?
Chapter 1
Kaoru was walking through the halls on her way to lunch when she saw her friend Misao coming up to her with a big grin on her face.
"Hey Kaoru."
"Hey Misao."
"Did you hear about the big dance coming up?"
"No. What kind of a dance is it? Please tell me it's not a masquerade dance like we had last year I couldn't stand those masks we had to wear."
"No, it's not a masquerade dance. It's, are you ready?"
Kaoru nodded with a smile.
"It's a Sadie Hawkins dance."
"Sadie Hawkins dance?"
"Yes."
"Where the girls ask the guys?"
"Yeah."
"Ugh."
"What's wrong Kaoru?"
"I don't feel comfortable asking boys to a dance Misao."
"Why?"
"I get all tongue tied and I can't think of the right words to say, especially around a guy I like."
"Oh. Then why don't you ask Kenshin?"
"Kenshin?"
"Yeah. You've had a crush on him since freshman year and you've been friends for a long time. So, why not?"
"I don't know Misao. I just started crushing on him last year like you said. It's just that I'm not sure I can do it."
"Of course you can Kaoru. You've known him for a long time and I'm sure he'll say yes."
"You think so?"
"Positive."
"But what if he doesn't feel the same way?"
"You'll never know until you ask." (A/N: Catchy slogan ^_^)
"Your right I'll ask him."
"Great, why not now?"
"Now?"
"Yeah."
"No. Not now. Maybe later."
"Okay. But don't wait till the last minute."
"I won't. Now let's go eat we only have 15 minutes left."
~~~~****~~~~
(On the phone)
"So are you going to ask him?"
"I told you Misao, I will ask him so, stop nagging me."
"I'm not nagging you."
"Yes you are and don't deny it."
"Okay so maybe I am nagging, but I just don't want you to wait till the last minute."
"I won't I'm going to ask him."
"When?"
"On Monday."
"Why Monday?"
"He's going away for the weekend with his parents."
"Oh. Well, just remember to ask him."
"I will. So, Misao are you going to ask Aoshi?"
"No, Aoshi already asked someone."
"Oh, I'm sorry Misao."
"It's okay. I'm going to go with Soujiro instead."
"I thought he was going to ask that girl, what's her name? Hitomi?"
"He was but she already asked someone else. So, we decided to go together just as friends though."
"Well, I'm sure you guys will have a nice time together. Soujiro's a nice guy the only thing that gets me bugged about him is that he constantly smiles, it's almost as if he can't get angry or put on an angry face."
"Yeah, but that's just the way he is. Well, I gotta go. Talk to you later."
"Okay. Bye Misao."
"Bye."
~~~~****~~~~
(Monday)
"Well, Kaoru there's Kenshin go ask him?"
"I'm nervous Misao. What if he says no?"
"Kaoru, remember, you won't know until you ask."
"I just don't want to feel rejected. I mean I know it's part of life and all but I would feel very heartbroken by it."
"Kaoru, being heartbroken can be difficult but it only makes people stronger in the end (A/N: I like that line ^_^). Now go up and ask him."
"Okay, I will."
Kaoru began walking towards Kenshin's locker with her palms sweating and her heart racing.
'Okay Kaoru you can do this. Just ask him calmly and easily without sounding desperate.'
~~~~****~~~~
(Kenshin's Locker)
'Well, here goes nothing'
"Hey Kenshin."
"Hey Kaoru."
"How was your weekend?"
"It was good. I had a lot of fun. I loved the Jacuzzi it was very relaxing that it was."
"That's good. So you know the Sadie Hawkins dance is coming up."
"Yeah I heard."
"So, has anyone asked you yet?"
"Well - "
