Disclaimer: Everytime I say this, it feels like im going to die. I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

Sorry I didn't put an Author note at the bottom of my last chapter. My brother needed the dumb computer for homework. He had to type one paragraph on the Pathagoream Theory. But you don't care. So here's your next chappie.

Kenshin began looking around the part of the market place they were in. He never really went to this side of the market considering he wasn't exactly a fashion victim unlike most of Tokyo. He'd rather settle for his regular gi and regular hakama.

"In here Kenshin," Sano suddenly said, breaking into the red head's thoughts. He grabbed Kenshin by the collar of his shirt and dragged him in a store.

"Well? Pick something!" Saitou said irritated. Kenshin looked around the store with awe and took in all the colors of the gi he had seen. There was a green one with flower petal prints sown into the hems. Another one that caught his eye was an ocean blue colored gi. It had very light lines swimming from side of the gi to the other. The first thing that came to Kenshin's mind were Kaoru's eyes. They looked exactly like them, only with a fabric feel.

Then he saw it. A black gi with navy blue hedges. In the blue were white diamond shapes. The gi was made of silk so it gleamed in the light. He took a step forward towards it and Aoshi caught where Kenshin's eyes were looking at and followed them.

"I see the black gi has caught the rurouni's eyes," he stated. Saitou took one look at the gi and blew smoke from his cigarette into Kenshin's face.

"Hey! What did you do that for?" Kenshin exclaimed, coughing from the smoke his lungs were not used to.

"That thing costs 3 yen," Saitou said, " and you expect us to buy it? Are you forgetting about the ring as well?"

Kenshin narrowed his eyes for Saitou's meanness and his own stupidity. He never was good at things financially so he hadn't exactly looked at the price. Not to mention that he had forgotten about the ring, there was really no possible way for him to buy that.

"I'll buy it," Aoshi said simply and walked up to the counter to pay for the merchandise. Everyone looked at him stunned, especially Saitou. His mouth opened so wide that the cigarette fell out on the floor and began to burn. Saitou just stood there amazed at how Aoshi came to defend Kenshin's wedding that he had not noticed Kenshin, Yahiko, and Sano stepping frantically on the tiny fire that had just been lit.

"Did Aoshi just buy something for Kenshin?" Sano said, awed.

"Forget that! I can't believe he just told Saitou off like that!" Yahiko chimed in.

"I guess . . . Aoshi is a changed man . . ." Kenshin said before the newly purchased gi was thrown in his face.

"I didn't change. I just want to hurry up and get home," Aoshi stated simply walking past the confused four.

"Then again . . . he could still be the stone cold person he always was . . . " Kenshin mumbled, following the group out of the store.

"You guys . . . I don't know about this . . ." Kaoru said, standing behind a dressing curtain. The five of them had been looking at wedding kimonos for 20 minutes before Misao snatched one off the rack and shoved it in the room with Kaoru.

"Oh, come on Kaoru!" Tokio exclaimed, " We want to see what you look like!"

"I bet you look really beautiful Miss Kaoru," Tsubame said in a normal voice.

"Besides, Ken-san wouldn't mind. After all, your not going to stay in that kimono all day if you know what I mean," Megumi stated, causing both her and Misao to giggle relentlessly.

"Alright, but promise you wont say anything about it!" Kaoru yelled.

"Of course we wont," Tokio said. They all knew it was a lie. Women just cant keep their mouths shut when the see something fabulously beautiful.

Kaoru stepped out from behind the curtains and stood facing the four of them. All their mouths dropped all at once.

"Oh, that looks just wonderful, Miss Kaoru!" Misao exclaimed.

"I concur!" Tsubame gleefully said clapping her hands.

"Great choice of style. Misao, could you mindlessly grab things off the rack for me to?" Megumi asked with a sarcastic look in her eye.

"It's great Kaoru. Just perfect for a young bride as your self," Tokio said with a smile. Kaoru let a meek smile escape her lips as she turned around to see in the mirror what exactly she looked like. When she saw her reflection, she gasped.

She'd looked nothing like she did a few moments ago. The kimono was a baby blue with leaves and lily pads scattered about the kimono. The obi was a rich green that traced her hips all the way down to the floor where it stopped suddenly before it hit. In her hair, Kaoru had put in a white tiger lily hair pin, pushing some of it back behind her ear.

Kaoru hadn't noticed how long her hair had gotten since she usually wore it in a ponytail but she had decided to leave the dark sheet of hair to cascade down her back. But what really dazzled her was the kimono it's self.

The kimono wasn't very tight at all but when she peered into the mirror, it traced her curves nicely. Nice enough that any man in the world would stare until Kenshin showed up anyway. A little of it in the back started to spread out over the ground. Kaoru smiled wider, knowing Kenshin would absolutely love seeing her in this dress.

"Why, that kimono looks grand on you dear!" the store owner said, sneaking up on them. The owner couldn't have been more than 5 feet tall but she looked like she weighed almost as much as an elephant.

"I think this is the kimono we'll purchase," Kaoru told the owner pleasantly.

After the dress had been rung up, the girls went searching for the ring that Kenshin would receive on their wedding day.
