The look
Kaoru stood alone on the parapet looking across the street, the wind playfully flipping her hair about her shoulder, both hands clutching the ledge in front of her. She thought about the sparring and they way she acted.
****************
Flashback
The teacher whistled and the class stood up ready to leave for their next class, though they still talked about the two combatants and their graceful moves. Kaoru stood her ground not moving an inch until Misao grabbed her collar then hauled her towards their locker.
Kaoru collapse on the bench, eyes wide, lips are slightly open and a blush creeping towards her cheeks. Misao looked at her and squat down. "Are you all right? You look as if you have seen a ghost!" Misao announced.
"I was kissed" Kaoru whispered.
Misao hadn't catch Kaoru's mumble, she shook her hard and asked the question again. Kaoru looked at her and shook her head sideway, she opened her mouth then closed it, not knowing what to say. Misao became more perplexed at her best friend's attitude, she stood up, turned to her locker and took out her skirt. "If I were you, I would start changing my clothes or else I will be late for my next class" Misao advised.
Kaoru remembered that they still have a next class, she hastily stood up discarded all her gi and hakama and in one swift movement she grabbed her uniform and put it. Misao was exasperated at her best friend but she did not voice it, she knows that Kaoru was hiding something and she can't figure it out.
After their class in Physics, Misao started nagging Kaoru because of her switch of behavior; she was silent, trying to think of a way to evade her best friend's persuasion. She closed her eyes and gave a heavy sigh, although it is hard for her to air out she told Misao everything except the kissing part.
"He was so fast, the way he moved it's as if it has its own tire" Kaoru said cautiously.
"Kaoru I know you are trying to hide something from me, tell me!" Misao encouraged.
"I know I'm sound crazed but I just felt that he kissed me right in my cheeks"
"Kaoru how could he kissed you if he was sparring with you. Maybe it was your imagination." Misao assured
"No Misao, I did feel his lips. And of course I did not imagine it" Kaoru persuaded.
"All right, all right." Misao put her hands infront of her as if to ward off Kaoru. Kaoru pouted and stomped her foot. "Mou, you don't believe me!"
"Let's just forget I asked, okay?"
"Okay"
The two sat at their table, Kaoru felt that someone was watching her; she looked at that direction and found herself staring at the amber eyes of the same guy she sparred with. It seems that she was mesmerized from Kenshin's amber eyes, trying to blink her eyes but he held it captive. He smiled at her seductively and found herself blushing tremendously; she gave a small smile and his grin widen.
Tae looked from Kenshin to Kaoru and giggled, "I think someone is starting to go out of her shell." From that word Kaoru turned to looked at Tae and frowned.
"What did you said?" Kaoru asked.
"I said someone is starting to go out of her shell."
"Who?"
"Think and you will find the answer"
Kaoru pouted but dropped the conversation.
End of flashback
********
Kaoru looked at her clock, hanging on the wall near her bed, and sigh. "Its getting late and I have to wake up early" Kaoru said to no one in particular. She went to bed and turned the light off. She flops herself and started dreaming about Kenshin.
Kenshin toss and turn in his bed, images of Kaoru appear at his mind, he put he right arm on his head and stared at the ceiling. "Kaoru, Kaoru" he whispered lovingly. He remembered the day's event; his lips cracked into a big smile and wondered about Kaoru
************
Flashback
Someone caught Kenshin's attention and saw Kaoru walking towards her table, his eyes turned from purple to amber. He stared intently at her back and felt her back stiffen. She turned to his direction and smiled at her. "She still looks pretty and adorable" he thought. He held her eyes captivated and saw her blush intensify, he like that he. Someone tapped him at his shoulder and looked at Sano; he growled at him and returned his head towards the young nymph but her attention was directed to another person. He sighed and shook his head.
She was so good, the way her body respond to his nearness, the way she intoxicate his senses, the way she smell, and the way she taste. She has amazing skills, her moves are almost perfect, her stance is incredible, and her speed is good. If only she was his and his alone, he would be happy for the rest of his life.
End of flashback

Kenshin smiled at the thought and close his eyes. His ready to take the world again, the thought of her is a vitamin for his stamina.
