Gah….. Stupid computer….. It's had problems. Sorry about the delays all the time.
I hope you all had a happy holiday(s).
And if you don't celebrate, at least a happy two weeks off. XD
Ah, well, almost time for my school to begin again.
I'm experimenting with my writing. Sorry if it isn't as literate as it usually is. (Even though I'm not literate. --+) I'll be back to my old writing ways… eventually.
Also sorry for the short chapter. My father is sick, so I'm trying to help him out….
Here's chapter 10!
Disclaimer: None of this belongs to me, except the story itself.

The silence remained until the fateful evening in which Kaoru was to go out with Akira again.
Kenshin was less than pleased, obviously. He was there as she picked out one of her best kimonos for the evening. He was there when she did her hair. He was there when she put on a light coat of makeup. He was there when she picked out a parasol to carry.
Of course, he wasn't in the room. Kaoru wouldn't allow it.
He was there in Kaoru's pounding thoughts. She still loved the flame haired rurouni.
But he didn't love her. Akira did.
That was what she thought all evening.
Akira came at sunset, as he had promised a few evenings ago.
Kenshin stepped out, as did Kaoru, when they both heard him arriving at the gate of the dojo. Kaoru cheerfully answered it.
"Sir Akira!" She exclaimed, a grin placed on her features.
"Kaoru-chan…" He said, also smiling.
Kenshin glared, from his position on the porch. NO ONE was allowed to call -HIS- Kaoru, Kaoru-chan.
Except Kenshin himself, of course.
His hand moved to the hilt of his sakabatou in anger. That man.. Would.. Pay.. DEARLY!
Akira enveloped Kaoru in a friendly embrace, that Kaoru didn't seem to mind.
He boiled in anger.
"Ready, Sir Akira?" She asked softly.
"Of course, Kaoru-chan… you look stunningly beautiful tonight, might I add…." He said, letting her go, but still standing close to her.
Too close, in Kenshin's opinion.
"Thank you, Sir Akira…" She giggled, blushing deeply.
He took her hand, and they started out towards the horizon.
Without even a good bye….
Kenshin sighed, then waited a few minutes.
After exactly seven and a half minutes, another presence opened and closed the gate.
And a once wandering samurai became a wanderer again.

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. Hm.. Poor Kenshin.. It's okay Kenshin, I'm always here! *glomps Kenshin*
Ciao for now, Kaoru-dono.
-Sorry for it being a short chapter.. AGAIN!!! But I figure it had enough suspense.. At the end…. And it will in the later chapters.. *grins evily*
