A/N: Hello again, minna-san. Hope you're enjoying reading my humble and simple fic. Now on with the story...
Chapter 8: Oro?!? Junior's Prom?!? And a Misunderstanding?!?
"Mou! I still can't belive Mr. Hajime gave us a surprise test today!" Kaoru said as theire teaher got out of the room.
"Yeah!" Sano nodded. "I didn't review a thing of what he discussed yesterday."
"Me too!" Misao said. "That Mibu's wolf! Grrr..."
"It's not that bad... Oro?" Kenshin faced an innocent smile as Misao and Sano glared at his direction.
"Not that bad?!?" Misao frowned at Kenshin. "How did you tell?!?"
"Oro?"
"Yeah! How can you tell?!?" Sano puts an arm arounf Kenshin's neck tightly and began rumpling his hair.
"Oro?!? Sessha... Oro?"
"Hey Sano! Stop that! He can't breath!" Kaoru said piercely at Sano, who let go of Kenshin instantly.
"Whoa!" Kenshin gasped some fresh air.
"Daijobou?" Kaoru asked Kenshin with worry.
"Daijobou, Kaoru-dono. Don't worry." Kenshin said and smiled at Kaoru. "There's nothing to worry about, really." he added, assuring Kaoru that he is okay.
"I'm glad." Kaoru smiled back at Kenshin brightly.
'I just love her smile. Just her simple smile makes me feel alright.' Kenshin thought, then snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Kaoru's voice. "Oro?"
"Kenshin, are you really alright? You seems like you're thinking of something important. Do you have a problem?" Kaoru asked, while Sano and Misao was already waiting outside the room still complaining about their surprise test.
"Oro?" Kenshin blushed a little. "It's nothing, Kaoru-dono. I'm just thinking of something else."
"C'mon, what is it? I'm you're bestfriend, you can tell me everything." Kaoru said standing up following Misao and sano outside.
"Eh? Kaoru-dono... it' just that..." Kenshin said following Kaoru. "It's nothing important."
"Nothing important? Then what is it?"
"Er... ano... uhm... I can't."
"Why?" Kaoru asked her eyes shining at Kenshin.
'Oh I just can't resist her when she's looking at me like that.' Kenshin thought finding it hard to find a good lie, for him not to tel her his true feelings.
"C'mon Kenshin, we never keep secrets from each other."
"Eh... it's about... er... a certain girl... er... nothing..." Kenshin said blushing.
"Girl?" Kaoru's interest grew. "Who? You mean... you're in love with a certain girl? Who? Tell me. Do I know her?"
"Er... I don't know."
"Eh?"
"I mean... I don't know if you know her. Maybe."
"What does she look liked?" Kaoru asked.
"Er... she is... uhm..."
"Hey, you two cut that romantic thing out!" Sano souted at them. "Or we're going to the cafeteria without you two."
"Oro?" Kenshin and Kaoru blushed furiously before following Sano and Misao. When they were walking on the hallway, they noticed a crowd of students gathered in front of the bulletin board.
"What's the commotion?" Kaoru asked, Sano was already there struggling to see what's in the bulletin board.
"I don't know." Misao shrugged. "So, what does it says, roosterhead!" she shouted at Sano.
"WHAT?!? I don't believe this!" Sano said as he got out of the crowd.
"What does it says?" Kaoru asked.
"It's about the Junior's Prom." Sano said in horror.
"Prom?" Misao asked with interest. "When?"
"Next month." Sano said.
"Wow! That's great!" Misao exclaimed.
"Great? What's great in that?" Sano said furiously at Misao. "It will surely be a boring night! I mean, who likes to attend boring formal parties like that."
"Huh? BORING?!?" Misao fumed. "SAYS WHO, ROOSTERHEAD?!?"
"SAYS ME, GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!?"
"YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW NO WOULD WANT TO BE YOUR DATE!!!"
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING! NO ONE WILL DATE A STINKY LITTLE WEASEL LIKE YOU!!!" and that's just it. Misao and Sano started fighting in a puff of smoke while Kenshin and Kaoru just watched them.
"I think we should leave there here." Kaoru sighed walking away with Kenshin following here.
"Oro? You think so?"
"Hai, it's no use trying to stop them. They're both stubborn." Kaoru smiled at Kenshin before turning away. "That would be great, ne Kenshin?"
"Great? Misao and Sano fighting?" Kenshin asked, frowning.
"Of course not that, baka! The prom night, that's what I mean." Kaoru giggled. "And besides you can ask that girl you like to be your date."
"That would be impossible Kaoru-dono, Sessha was really sad to say." Kenshin smiled at Kaoru sadly.
"Eh?" Kaoru threw a quizzical look at Kenshin. "What do you mean?"
"It's just that... I don't know... Maybe that girl would want someone else."
"You mean she's in love with someone else?" Kaoru asked Kenshin in disbelief. "You're just giving up?"
Kenshin just stared at her. 'Is he going to give her up? Our friendship?'
"Does she know what you felt for her?"
Kenshin only shook his head. 'I couldn't tell you. I don't want to lose you. To ruin our friendship.'
"Then you should go to her and tell her." Kaoru said and frowned when Kenshin shook his head and smiled at her sadly.
"Iya, Kaoru-dono. I can't tell her how I feel. I can't do that. It's just that... that..." Kenshin took a deep breath before continuing. "...telling her would mean a sacrifice for me. Telling her what I feel meant losing something really important for me."
"Eh? Something important?"
"Hai. I just can't risk losing that thing."
"But Kenshin..." Kaoru gave Kenshin a comforting smile. "I could help you if ..."
"It's nothing Kaoru-dono." Kenshin puts all his strenght to gave Kaoru a smile, but deep inside it's making him weak.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru smiled and pts her head on his shoulder. "Alright, if that's what you want. But if you need me help, just tell me. It's hurting me to see you like that."
"It's alright Kaoru-dono." Kenshin said, hesitatingly puts his arm around her.
"Don't worry Kenshin, I'll always be by your side." Kaoru looked up at Kenshin and smiled at him and Kenshin smiled back.
'She's always like this. She always worry for me. And that's what I love about her.' he just stared at her. 'Yes, I love her and I can't tell her.' They were staring at each other's eyes that they doesn't notice somebody approaching.
"Uhm... Kaoru-san." Enishi said, making kaoru looked at him with a slight blush on her face. "Hello there, Himura-san." he said, his eyes piercing coldy at Kenshin. Kenshin only stared back at him, as if challenging him.
"Enishi-kun?" Kaoru's voice broke the two's eye-contact.
"Hai, Kaoru-san." Enishi turned to smile at Kaoru, "It's just that... I'm wondering if you're free on a Friday night."
"Friday? Why?"
"I'm just wondering if you go with me to watch the drama club's latest play. I have reserved a ticket. So, are you free for a Friday night?" he said which made Kaoru blushed.
"Uhm... I think so..." Kaoru nodded at him before turning to Kenshin.
"That would be great." Enishi smiled. "So see you on a Friday night." he said before walking away.
"I can't believe it!" Kaoru said happily. "Kenshin did you hear what he said? He actually asked me out!"
"Hai" Kenshin tried to say that large knot on his throat. 'Kaoru really loves her. But Sessha doesn't feel right about that.'
"Oh, I can't believe it!" Kaoru said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Maybe... I could... go... with... you." Kenshin said. 'I know I don't have the right to feel jealous but I can't help it.'
"Eh?" Kaoru turned to Kenshin.
"I mean... you still don't know him... and..."
"You want to be there so that you can protect me?" Kaoru asked in a mocked tone. "It's not like Enishi will do something bad. And if so... I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!!!"
"That's not what I mean. I know you can take care of yourself but still..."
"Can't you see Kenshin?!? I'm not that little cry-baby you played with, ten years ago! Look at me and open your eyes! I'm a young lady now. And I can take care of myself and if you got some problems with that... GOODBYE!" Kaoru said turning her back to Kenshin and walking away.
"It's nothing like that Kaoru-dono." Kenshin said, watching in horror as Kaoru walked away.
