Kenshin turned his head a bit, as he saw the young girl, so innocent, so passive, just sleeping there, hair sprawled about her. Her chest was rising up and down steadily, her breathing steady. Suddenly she stirred, and kenshin quickly walked out the door, just as Kaoru awoke.

Kaoru looked around confused. She thought for a moment, before realizing that she was in a dojo. She sat up, and rubbed her eyes, sleepily observing her surroundings. She looked down to see a piece of paper hastily folded and thrown just beside her bed.

She opened it and it said that Kenshin had gone out somewhere. Kenshin...what a beautiful name...she sighed, and shook her head. No she couldn't let it happen. She wouldn't fall in love again.

She sat up thinking back to Enishi. God she had loved him...more than anyone she had ever met. He was just so wonderful to her...and his sister...felt more like a mother than Kaoru's real mother had ever. She glumly laid back down, remembering Enishi, when suddenly a door burst open.

"Kaoru-dono, I'm back...and breakfast is ready..."

"Hai..."

Kenshin paused in the doorway. He thought about telling her his true identity...but washed away that thought. She would hate him. Just like tomoe had. He turned to face Kaoru once more who seemed lost in her own thoughts. He bowed his head, his red bangs covering his eyes, and turned from the doorway.

Kaoru looked up at Kenshin as he left. She stood up, and walked to the bathroom. The fire was already burning, and the water was filled. Confused, she shrugged it off, and took off her clothes, dipping in. She relaxed as the hot water poured over her body. She closed her eyes...

Enishi...

Why did you leave me? ...

Why do you hate me? ...

She soon drifted into sleep, which enveloped her precariously.

She woke up an hour later, and suddenly realized just how pruned she looked! She shook her head, and was about to get out when she realized she didn't have a change of clothes. She sighed, and sat back down. What a dilemma!

A few moments later, Kenshin walked in, and looked up to see Kaoru in the bath. He gasped, and ran out the door. But not without Kaoru noticing.

"KENSHIN!! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO WALK IN ON ME WHEN IM BATHING?! HENTAI- BAKA!"

Kenshin lowered his head, blushing. He turned away, and walked back to Kaoru's room, tidying it up a bit. After leaving, he forgot that kaoru had no clothing!

He went to Kaoru's room and hesitated before opening one of the cabinets. Tomoe's drawer ... he pulled out a pale green and lush blue kimono, with a soft aqua obi to bring out her eyes. The flower-decorated kimono was very pretty, and he also pulled out a soft blue bow for her hair.

Trying to remember Tomoe ever wearing this, he thought for a moment. Hm...No it didn't ring a bell. As he continued to think of Tomoe, he didn't notice it, but his eyes had turned sharp cold amber. He shook his head, and his cold face was the one that met Kaoru as she bumped into him.

"Oh! Sorry kenshin! "She said, her hair dripping wet. A towel was folded around her body, as she backed up against the wall and inched into her room. However when she looked up, a pair of cold amber eyes met her.

She froze instantly. Those eyes...Battousai was famous for his eyes. She couldn't believe it! She was living with Battousai! She pretended not to notice, but inside was shivering with fear. How could she not have noticed?

She tried to remember what he had heard about Battousai.

'Battousai is a ruthless killer and raper. If ever wanted to hunt him down, always bring a cute girl. '

Crap! That's why Shishio wanted to bring her! And she would get raped! Goddamnit!

She quickly slid into the room, and saw a beautiful kimono laid out. Confused she edged nearer and nearer to it, until she finally reached it. She slid her hand over its silky material, and jumped back to the door, making sure Battousai wouldn't come in and rape her.

She slid the kimono over her body, fitting perfectly. She tied the bow into her hair, and let the sleeves roll down her tender arms. After some effort, she tied the obi around her kimono and looked in a mirror.

She couldn't believe that was her! The most popular girl in high school, wearing a kimono! Sheesh!

Wait a minute...how did Battousai have this?

Of course! He rapes girls...so he probably keeps clothes ready as if he's nice...

She turned to the door, and peeked through the eyehole. The violet-eyed Kenshin was standing at the table, waiting as if it looked.

'Waiting to rape me' she thought to herself.

She slid the door open and ran out the doorway, dodging through trees and such. Finally she reached her apartment, which in reality was less than a 10 minute walk. She walked to her house and was about to open it when she shook her head. She walked to Misao's apartment, and knocked.

When Misao opened the door, Kaoru threw her arms over Misao, who fell down in surprise. After a few moments, Kaoru was back on her feet, and in the kitchen with a cup of green tea talking to a confused Misao.

"Kaoru, that kimono really is beautiful..."

"Shuttup lets go shopping! I need new clothes!"

"Might as well wear none, the amount YOU wear..."

"Aww! Come on Misao! "

"Hai...Hai...ok let's go..."

Almost three hours later, they came back with over twenty bags of clothing. Misao had bought just one set of clothing, that matched with Kaoru's.

The packed all her new clothes away, but Kaoru had bought three kimonos, and some new Chinese dress which Misao had also bought. They put the rest of the skirts, and blouses, and shirt's, back into the closet.

Luckily, Misao's apartment was a bit bigger than Kaoru's much roomier. With two more rooms, kaoru was able to pick the nicer one and instantly fell asleep.

~~

Kenshin turned to go to Kaoru's room, to see what was taking her so long. Upon finding her room empty, he figured she went to the bathroom. After checking the whole dojo with no sign of Kaoru he sighed. The eighteen year old was sick of this assassin life.

He turned and walked about three blocks and looked up at the huge building. Carefully putting his katana's tighter into his gi, he walked in. After a few moments of talking to the school principal, he was to be put in junior year of high school.

He turned and left, walking home. Apparently, people at that school were always in style, wearing either really baggy pants and baggy shirts, or tight skirts with less than half a shirt.

He shrugged. He had his own sense if individuality. He nodded, and fell asleep upon reaching home.

~~

Kaoru put on her tightest and shortest skirt, her see through bra, and a shirt that was buttoned up to just halfway up her breasts, with a golden necklace hanging down her neck, a pearl hanging off the end.

She smiled, putting on a pair of high-heels, while her black leather skirt barely allowed her legs to move in any other way than the famous 'slut- walk'.

As she entered the doorway, she immediately saw all her girlfriends hanging out in a corner of the lockers. She smirked, and brushed her hair back, which was thrown down, but black with golden blonde highlights. As she neared her girlfriends, she realized they were all talking excitedly.

"Did you see him?"

"The new kid?"

"Yeah, the one wearing the gi?"

"Like oh ma gawd, he's so cute!"

"Tell me about it!"

"Oh my god, I have to introduce him to you!"

"Hey look its kaoru! Hey kaoru!"

"Hey Megumi, what's up?"

"This new kid came to school today...goddamn he's cute!"

"Really?"

Kaoru smiled. Finally, back to her normal life. She licked her lips, and thought of which boy she should kiss today. She missed out on action for WAY too long.

She slid into first period, thinking about this new kid. No one except Kaoru has ever been this popular! She smiled, thinking how he must be like really ghetto or something. She leaned back against her chair, and closed her eyes.

"Class, today we have a new student!"

The class grumbled in response; however all the girls except Kaoru seemed to be excited, giggling to one another.

"His name is Himura Kenshin! He came from Kyoto to here in Tokyo! I hope you'll accept him!"

Kaoru nearly fell off her chair, as her chair slammed into the ground. Her eyes wide, she stared as the handsome young red-head walked into the class, with a blue and black gi, hair still tied up. However, his eyes were that beautiful violet color, that made Kaoru want to melt away.

He walked to the only empty seat; Shishio's empty seat right next to Kaoru; and smiled.
