Kaoru's POV

On a cold winter's morning the Kenshingumi woke to the snowflakes resting on their window sill. Kaoru opened her eyes slightly and then shut them hoping to fall back asleep.

Before he came...

Yahiko tiptoed down the hall of the Dojo and then with all the voice he could gather he let out a cry,

"KAORU WAKE UP OR WE"LL BE LATE FOR NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She jumped right out of her skin. 'Why that Yahiko! Ugh I'm going to get him!' Kaoru could hear voices down the hall. It was most likely the voices of Kenshin and Sano. Yes the ex-gangster was coming along with them. And in Kaoru's mind eliminating any chance to be with Kenshin. "Hurry up busu or we'll be late!" Yahiko screamed again. Then Yahiko ripped the covers off Kaoru leaving her face to face with the chilly morning air. "Yahiko Mjojin get yout butt...." Kaoru was about to finish her sentence until the red-head rurouni came in. She pulled the covers over her and screamed, "Get out!!!"

Kenshin ran out of the room turning ten shades of red while Yahiko was right behind him. When Kaoru saw them finally turn the corner of the hall she leaped out of bed and then put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She brushed and pulled her hair up and tied it with her favorite indigo ribbon. She then walked out of her room and met up with the group. "So you decided to wake up eh?" Sano grinned.

"Shut up Sano I'm not in the mood" She grabbed her bag viciously, giving off bad vibes, and with that exited out of the dojo toward the taxi. The rest of the kenshingumi followed behind the fuming Kaoru. As they got into the taxi they realized one thing, it was way too small to fit all of them. But they decided to make the best of it and pushed Kaoru in first.

After Kaoru, Kenshin was jammed up right next to her. He started to blush while Kaoru noticed and blushed too. Sano looked at the two and put his hands on his hips and added " Aww now isn't that cute?" He and Yahiko started to laugh while Kaoru sent a threatening glare. Finally with some convincing, Sano got into the car but leaving Yahiko the only one left. He squeezed his little body as close in as he could and then tried with much difficultly to close the door.

Sano's POV

Yahiko being the smart boy he was questioned, "Why doesn't Sano sit in the front?" Sano replied "I would if I could but I can't. Look" he pointed to the person sitting in the front seat. She turned her head around and looked at Yahiko. "Ts-t-tsubame??? What are you doing here?" Yahiko look utterly shocked. "Well Kaoru invited me to come to New York with you all" Yahiko felt his heart speed up. Tsubame was going to be with them for Christmas in New York. He felt like the happiest boy alive. But that all changed when Sano saw the look on his face and added "Ooh I guess we'll have two couples on this trip then" They all gave him a deadly look and he shut up.

Once they reached the airport they went through the boring procedure of checking the bags and waiting in line. Sano noticed how Yahiko was watching Tsubame and nudged him waking the boy out of his trance. "Come on Yahiko go talk to the gal. You defiantly like her and you can't deny it" Yahiko blushed.

"Yyea but.... HEY SANO WHO SAYS I LIKE HER!!" Sano grinned and then walked past him. Yahiko caught up with them clearly not noticing the moving line. When all their waiting was over they boarded the plane and sat down ready for some relaxation. As Sano had thought, Kenshin and Kaoru talked while the two kids next to him eyed each other. Sano felt very alone. He had no girl. Sano sighed and thought about getting some shuteye.

As he was starting to dose someone poked him. Immediately his eyes shot open, Of course it was Yahiko. "What do ya want kid?" he was trying to get to sleep and just wanted to tell Yahiko to shut up "I-I I CANT HEAR HELP ME SANO!!! I CANT HEAR ANYTHING!" Sano chuckled and then motioned Yahiko to pop his ears. Finally after awhile Yahiko was back to normal and Sano thought about getting some sleep.

When they neared landing in New York, Sano woke up due to the "bouncy-ness" of the plane. He looked over to see Kaoru's head on Kenshin's shoulder and Tsubame and Yahiko fast asleep. He didn't want to bother them so he decided to indulge himself with the plane's food. He frowned in disgust, this food was worse than Kaoru's cooking. He swallowed the gross food and then pushed away the tray and slide back into his chair. Further more this trip wasn't going the way he planned. He had hoped for free food, some Christmas presents and even some Christmas cheer. He noticed that Kaoru and Kenshin had woken up. 'Here we go again with the I'm-too-shy-to-admit-it couple'. Kaoru looked where she had been and then quickly placed herself back in her own seat while trying to hide her crimson face.

Kaoru's POV

What was she doing with her head on Kenshin's Shoulder? She noticed Sano staring at them and then turned away. Today had been such a rushed day, she just needed to get off the plane and get that New York feel...

...Unfortunately that's not what was going to happen.

How did I do for my first chapter of my first Fanfic????? Please R&R!
