Author's Note: hello! Sorry for the late update, so to make up for the
time, I made this chap a little bit longer and waff.Sorry too for the many
typo of the previous chap, I wasn't able to proofread it(well, not that I
always edit my stories..^_^;)..
Disclaimer: Mou! Do I have to say it again?! Fine, I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.it's owned by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Sony Entertainment, Jump Comics.blah, blah, blah.
'Oh Kami!' Kaoru felt beads of sweat fall from her forehead as their faces drew closer and closer. Feeling her body freeze and go numb, she felt so nervous; all she could hear was the loud beating of her heart. She noticed how deep Kenshin's amethyst eyes were and how deep they were. 'Kirei, I could stare at them all day!'
Their lips finally met and time stopped, suddenly the two felt oblivious to their surroundings, as if they were the only people in the world. Kenshin coaxed Kaoru's tongue and gently lead her. Kaoru decided to follow, not a care in the world. Both decided to act upon instinct and follow what their heart told them to do.
'I'll never forget this moment!' Kaoru moved her hand from his shoulders to his chest. To her surprise, something seems to move under it. It moved upwards until it reached the collar of Kenshin's shirt, in the form of a little hamster. Kaoru instantly broke the kiss and yelled to the top of her lungs.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In surprise, Kenshin loosened her grip on Kaoru and she landed on the ground, butt first. The hamster seemed to have climbed from the opening of Kenshin's pants, to his shirt and finally to the collar without him noticing, he was too absorbed in their kiss, that he totally went numb. Kenshin immediately knelt to check if Kaoru was okay.
"Owww! Kenshin no baka!" Kaoru shouted to Kenshin, and in between rubbing her butt to ease the pain and shouting 'Kenshin no baka!', a mysterious bokken appeared out of nowhere into Kaoru's hands and it hit Kenshin's head as instantly as it appeared in Kaoru's hands, knocking him unconscious.
"Oroooooo..."
"Kenshin!" Looking at the hamster, who was looking back at her. "Mou! This is all your fault, evil monster!" She blamed, pointing at it. 'Looks like I've found myself a rival...! Eh? A rival?! Kaoru, it's not like you actually LIKE Kenshin?!' Kaoru touched her lips, feeling the pleasurable sensation Kenshin's lips left. 'C'mon, Kaoru, you've kissed lots of men! What makes him different? Mou, this is all so confusing!' Dismissing her confusing thoughts, Kaoru decided to call someone to attend the unconscious Kenshin. She called Misao, who told her that Megumi was a doctor, who called Sano and they all came back to where Kenshin was.
"Jou-chan, what did you do this time, rape him?" Teased the snickering Sano. Kaoru blushed with embarrassment then of furiousness.
"Ohohohoho! He needs the special kind of treatment then! Ohohohoho!" Megumi exclaimed, laughing boisterously. Kaoru blushed further.
Noticing some red stuff on her cousin's lips, Misao eyed her bestfriend suspiciously. "What's this red stuff?" Misao added innocently but the meaning beneath the words made Kaoru blush further, if that was even possible.
Kenshin woke up with the voices around him and opening his eyes, saw 4 people around him, but the most visible was the body of a girl with the head of a big red tomato.
"Oro?"
***
Kaoru slept soundly, dreaming of her beloved Kenshin. The dream reenacted the time when Kenshin was kissing her; the difference was that he was stroking her belly gently. Opening her eyes, to the white ceiling, she noticed that she still felt something on her belly. She tilted her head, expecting to see Kenshin. As the sight greeted her, she discovered that it wasn't Kenshin who was touching her.it was the horrible thing she'd seen, peering its small black eyes at her. And just looking at the horrid creature made her sick, fear welling up inside her; it came out in the form of a loud piercing scream. She tried to get it of her, but she couldn't touch it and besides the ugly thing wouldn't budge. Instead it crawled further and that just made her scream, louder. "Get off me you ugly monster!" She tried persuading it to get of her but its response was just to blink at her.
After hearing the piercing scream, Kenshin's eyes suddenly opened. It took a while after the scream registered to his mind, and when it did, he hurriedly put on his yukata, grabbed the sakabatou underneath his pillow and hurriedly ran to the direction of the scream. Opening the door, he instantly asked Kaoru the matter. "Kaoru-dono, what's wrong?" Hearing no reply, he went further and caught sight of Kaoru, and also his little furry friend, Twister. It was standing on the stomach of the frightened Kaoru. "Kaoru-dono!" He paused and added, "Twister, what are you doing in here? Aren't you supposed to settle in your cage?" Putting his fingers on the fur at the back of the hamster, he carried it to the palm of his other hand and scolded the little creature.
Meanwhile, Kaoru just sat and stared at the redhead talking to that 'horrid creature'. 'There he goes again, talking to that 'thing' again, he totally forgot about me! Mou, Kenshin no baka! Baka, baka, baka!!'
Suddenly the door opened and in came, Enishi, Soujiro, Misao, Megumi, Aoshi and Sano. Enishi immediately rushed to Kaoru's side. "Daijoubu, Kaoru?" He asked.
"Uhm, I'm pretty much ok, that little um, 'hamster' startled me, sorry if I disturbed your sleep." Kaoru answered, glancing at her side to look at Kenshin, but as their eyes locked, she immediately turned her head back to Enishi. "Oh yeah, what was that you said? Sorry, my mind was on other things."
"I said you can always count on me and I will always be there if you needed me." Enishi replied, putting his hand over Kaoru's own which was on her lap. He smiled at her and got a sweet smile back.
Seeing Enishi's hand over Kaoru's, Kenshin, acting upon instinct, cleared his throat to break the two's trance.
Both turned their heads to look at Kenshin, Enishi's glare seemed to be more dangerous. "Well, if it wasn't for 'Mr. I've got a pet hamster' here, you wouldn't have to shout. He should have kept that hamster safe in the cage." Kenshin glared back, not saying anything, eyes seeming to form an amber color at the sides. He sensed that Enishi's ki seems to be dangerous. Both glared daggers at each other, neither wanting to give up. Only thing left was streaks of lightning to appear from both eyes to the other.
Kaoru, sensing the forming tension between the two decided to speak up to break the ice. "Well, I'm alright now, you two won't have to worry" It was enough to break the tension.
"Hello?! We're still here in case you were wondering! Jeez, you act as if you're the only people around here!" Sano interrupted.
"Che, you broke my beauty sleep!" Megumi complained.
Soujiro just smiled, as usual. Aoshi just stared, saying nothing. "Zzzz... Zzzz" *A sleeping Misao, on the floor, could be seen behind all these*
"I'm going back to sleep!" Sano said, and turned his back at them to head to the door. Everyone followed except Enishi and Kenshin.
"Are you sure you're alright?" They both said at the same time. They both got a tired nod as a reply and they both exited, both noticing an obvious rivalry forming.
Kaoru leaned back to her bed after all the commotion, finding it hard to sleep. After shifting uncomfortably for about the hundredth time, she gave up and stood to find a place peaceful enough to gather her thoughts.
***
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, a certain redhead was reorganizing his thoughts, enjoying the view of the moonlight, stars and the cool breeze. The place seemed to be the perfect place for him, and he felt at peace. He shifted and laid his head on his entwined hands, getting used to the hard material of the roof. He closed his eyes but he felt someone's ki nearby. Opening them once again, something caught his eye.
The figure was on the other side, facing the roof he was on. It was clad in dark blue, barely managing to climb the roof. 'A burglar? I sense no danger in it's ki...' The figure obviously didn't see Kenshin; it was too busy climbing the roof. A strong gust of mind blew and outbalanced it, sending it falling directly towards the hard grounds of the garden. Acting upon instinct, he grabbed the sakabatou in his right and putting his foot down, jumped in time to catch the person before it fell. When his feet landed on the floor, he jumped again to reach the metal gates of the balcony of the first floor, then the second, third, fourth floor and finally the roof. He was too busy on jumping to even take a glance at who he just saved the life of. His jumps were far too fast for the naked eyes to see. An ordinary eye could have just seen wisps of red ascending to the roof.
Landing to the roof safely, he turned his head to look at the person in his arms. He was surprised to see who the person appeared to be. "Kaoru-dono?!"
Hearing her name being called, Kaoru opened her eyes to the face of a shocked one. "Kenshin?!" Now it was her turn to be surprised. "What are you doing here, and are we in heaven?"
"Heaven? What would we want to do in heaven?" Kenshin asked. He put down Kaoru and sat down, not leaving his curious eyes of her.
Kaoru hung her head and gave time to think for a while. After some time, she replied, "Aren't we dead?"
"ORO?! DEAD?!!" Kenshin narrowed his eyes as big as saucers and almost fell out of the roof. "Kaoru we're far from DEAD!!! See, I saved you before you hit the ground, so we're not DEAD!!!"
"Oh..." Kaoru looked at him then the stars. She also sat down beside Kenshin and kept quiet for a while.
"The stars are really beautiful tonight..." Kenshin said.
"Yes..." Kaoru whispered and looked at him. It was really getting cold as she wrapped her arms around her legs to keep them warm.
Kenshin glanced at her, and was amazed by the sight. She was smiling at her, her blue eyes shining brightly, almost as bright as the stars. The band she used to tie her hair snapped and sent her hair flowing by the cool wind. "You look like a goddess..." He whispered more to himself than to her companion.
"What?" Kaoru asked while leaning her head at his shoulder.
"Nothing..." Kenshin was surprised when Kaoru leaned at his shoulder but shifted so both snuggled closer sharing the warmth.
Both stayed in the present position, neither moving, neither wanting to lose the warmth. Thoughts in chaos, Kenshin finally decided to speak up. "Ano, Kaoru-dono?"
No reply.
"Kaoru-dono?" He repeated.
Silence.
'She's asleep' Finally realizing that she was asleep, Kenshin stood up, carrying Kaoru gently with him. He walked to the window and went inside as gently as he can so that Kaoru would not wake up.
He laid her on her bed and covered her body with a blanket. Before going, he kissed Kaoru on the forehead and whispered 'Sweet dreams' to her ear. He touched her cheeks lastly and went for the door.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru whispered in her sleep.
***
"Misao, I'm going to town!" Kaoru exclaimed happily. She smiled as she chewed the last morsel of the blueberry cheesecake they had for dessert. Smiling widely, Kaoru stood up and went for the door.
Misao followed and ran beside her. "Hmmm, you've smiling a lot since you woke up today...Kaoru? Hmmm, I wonder what's the reason behind that smile... he, he.." Misao smiled at Kaoru teasingly.
Smiling as she remembered what happened she merely replied, "Let's just say I had a wonderful dream I wouldn't forget..."
"Kaoru!! I'm your bestfriend and I'm supposed to know what happened! Kaoru!" Misao demanded.
Kaoru's reply was just to giggle. She ran to her car and left.
At the town...
Kaoru spotted a really nice bokken on display at a particular weapon shop and stopped. 'Shinsengumi Weapon Shop' it read. She parked her car in the parking space and immediately got out to take a look. Entering the shop, a brown haired guy welcomed her by saying, "Shinsengumi Weapon Shop, the finest weapons in town".
Kaoru looked at the different weapons in display, most of them were different kinds of Japanese swords like but there were other kinds too, some were weird looking. She looked at the arrays of swords on display, on one side was katanas, the other had sakabatous, on the other racks were shinais, bokkens, kodachis and other types. She quickly walked to the shelf of bokkens, looking at each one of them closely. All of them were really good to look at but the one on the edge shone brightly. Picking that one up, she examined it closely and took a few swings with her kata. 'Wow, the woodwork is really fine and this feels really light on my hands.'
She was about to go to the cashier when a green haired girl bumped into her, almost knocking her down. "Watch where you're going...Shura?"
The green haired girl looked up in surprise and said, "Kaoru? What are you doing here?"
"Shura! Wow, long time no see! Wait here." Kaoru ran to the register to purchase her bokken and returned afterwards.
The two friends reconciled after not seeing each other for years since highschool. Shura was one of Kaoru's bestfriends besides Misao and another one named Tae. They went to a nearby café named Akabeko.
As they went to order their food they recognized the brown haired woman behind the counters. "Tae!" They both exclaimed at the same time.
"Shura, Kaoru! It's nice to see you two again! You can order whatever you like but I'll see you later, I've got work to do!" Smiling, Tae called for a waitress to lead them to the unoccupied table near the window.
After being seated, Shura smiled at her long lost friend. "So what are you up to this days, what do you do?"
Kaoru smiled and answered, "Well, not much, I've been working as a pediatrician, I've got my own clinic you know, I visit once in a while but my cousin Sayo manages it for a while, for now I'm having my vacation."
A waitress came to take their orders. Kaoru smiled and politely asked for a slice of cake and some brewed coffee. Shura just asked what tasted good and settled for a cup of cappuccino instead.
After giving the tip to the waitress, Kaoru then turned to Shura to ask. "How about you, what do you do?"
Shura shrugged and answered, "I'm not supposed to tell you this but...Well, I work undercover for the police...I shouldn't have said that..."
Kaoru just stared at her friend and afterwards replied, "That's all right, what do you work undercover for?"
"I might as well tell you, I'm tracking down a madman by the name of ...Enishi" Shura replied.
With that, Kaoru froze as her eyes widened.
***
Author narrating...All day Kaoru did nothing but run and hide...from Enishi. She was shaken because of friend mentioning his name. Of course, she didn't really believe that the Enishi she knew was the one Shura mentioned...but better safe than sorry...
Kaoru parked her car inside and leaped out of the convertible. She walked to the front door when she caught sight of Enishi walking to her direction. Alarmed, Kaoru turned left, noticing that Enishi hadn't noticed her. Too busy looking out for him; she didn't notice the wall of glass ahead of her. Kaoru turned to face it, only to have her face splat on the glass. "Owww!"
Misao was talking to Kenshin when she tuned to see a girl walking towards the glass, suddenly a face went splat on the glass wall and followed by a loud shriek. "Kenshin could you please check outside?" 'That sure was an ugly sight, that must have really hurt...'
Further that afternoon, Kaoru was strolling around the gardens when she saw Enishi again...Alarmed she hid behind the bushes.
"Where did she go? She sure does a great disappearing act..." With that, Enishi turned, heading to the opposite direction.
"Jou-chan?! What are you doing there...eat dirt? Ha, ha, ha" Sano snickered.
Angry, Kaoru emerged from her hiding place, her face red with embarrassment and shouted to her brother, "None of your business, Sano" She stormed out of the bushes like an angry elephant, each step causing a mini earthquake.
"I swear I saw you kissing those precious worms of yours!" Sano teased further making Kaoru angrier, smoke coming out of her ears.
"I'll get you for this!!!" Kaoru hollered to her brother not noticing the man she was about to bump to. Then she bumped to him. "E-enishi...!"
a/n: Sorry for the kiss, I'm not very good at those things.. I personally think that hamsters are cute, I even had many before. The hamster climbing Kaoru's bed incident was based on my real life experiences. I was sleeping then I woke up, feeling something crawl on my belly, then there it was, my hamster.

Disclaimer: Mou! Do I have to say it again?! Fine, I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.it's owned by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Sony Entertainment, Jump Comics.blah, blah, blah.
'Oh Kami!' Kaoru felt beads of sweat fall from her forehead as their faces drew closer and closer. Feeling her body freeze and go numb, she felt so nervous; all she could hear was the loud beating of her heart. She noticed how deep Kenshin's amethyst eyes were and how deep they were. 'Kirei, I could stare at them all day!'
Their lips finally met and time stopped, suddenly the two felt oblivious to their surroundings, as if they were the only people in the world. Kenshin coaxed Kaoru's tongue and gently lead her. Kaoru decided to follow, not a care in the world. Both decided to act upon instinct and follow what their heart told them to do.
'I'll never forget this moment!' Kaoru moved her hand from his shoulders to his chest. To her surprise, something seems to move under it. It moved upwards until it reached the collar of Kenshin's shirt, in the form of a little hamster. Kaoru instantly broke the kiss and yelled to the top of her lungs.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In surprise, Kenshin loosened her grip on Kaoru and she landed on the ground, butt first. The hamster seemed to have climbed from the opening of Kenshin's pants, to his shirt and finally to the collar without him noticing, he was too absorbed in their kiss, that he totally went numb. Kenshin immediately knelt to check if Kaoru was okay.
"Owww! Kenshin no baka!" Kaoru shouted to Kenshin, and in between rubbing her butt to ease the pain and shouting 'Kenshin no baka!', a mysterious bokken appeared out of nowhere into Kaoru's hands and it hit Kenshin's head as instantly as it appeared in Kaoru's hands, knocking him unconscious.
"Oroooooo..."
"Kenshin!" Looking at the hamster, who was looking back at her. "Mou! This is all your fault, evil monster!" She blamed, pointing at it. 'Looks like I've found myself a rival...! Eh? A rival?! Kaoru, it's not like you actually LIKE Kenshin?!' Kaoru touched her lips, feeling the pleasurable sensation Kenshin's lips left. 'C'mon, Kaoru, you've kissed lots of men! What makes him different? Mou, this is all so confusing!' Dismissing her confusing thoughts, Kaoru decided to call someone to attend the unconscious Kenshin. She called Misao, who told her that Megumi was a doctor, who called Sano and they all came back to where Kenshin was.
"Jou-chan, what did you do this time, rape him?" Teased the snickering Sano. Kaoru blushed with embarrassment then of furiousness.
"Ohohohoho! He needs the special kind of treatment then! Ohohohoho!" Megumi exclaimed, laughing boisterously. Kaoru blushed further.
Noticing some red stuff on her cousin's lips, Misao eyed her bestfriend suspiciously. "What's this red stuff?" Misao added innocently but the meaning beneath the words made Kaoru blush further, if that was even possible.
Kenshin woke up with the voices around him and opening his eyes, saw 4 people around him, but the most visible was the body of a girl with the head of a big red tomato.
"Oro?"

Opening the door, he instantly asked Kaoru the matter. "Kaoru-dono, what's wrong?" Hearing no reply, he went further and caught sight of Kaoru, and also his little furry friend, Twister. It was standing on the stomach of the frightened Kaoru. "Kaoru-dono!" He paused and added, "Twister, what are you doing in here? Aren't you supposed to settle in your cage?" Putting his fingers on the fur at the back of the hamster, he carried it to the palm of his other hand and scolded the little creature.
Meanwhile, Kaoru just sat and stared at the redhead talking to that 'horrid creature'. 'There he goes again, talking to that 'thing' again, he totally forgot about me! Mou, Kenshin no baka! Baka, baka, baka!!'
Suddenly the door opened and in came, Enishi, Soujiro, Misao, Megumi, Aoshi and Sano. Enishi immediately rushed to Kaoru's side. "Daijoubu, Kaoru?" He asked.
"Uhm, I'm pretty much ok, that little um, 'hamster' startled me, sorry if I disturbed your sleep." Kaoru answered, glancing at her side to look at Kenshin, but as their eyes locked, she immediately turned her head back to Enishi. "Oh yeah, what was that you said? Sorry, my mind was on other things."
"I said you can always count on me and I will always be there if you needed me." Enishi replied, putting his hand over Kaoru's own which was on her lap. He smiled at her and got a sweet smile back.
Seeing Enishi's hand over Kaoru's, Kenshin, acting upon instinct, cleared his throat to break the two's trance.
Both turned their heads to look at Kenshin, Enishi's glare seemed to be more dangerous. "Well, if it wasn't for 'Mr. I've got a pet hamster' here, you wouldn't have to shout. He should have kept that hamster safe in the cage." Kenshin glared back, not saying anything, eyes seeming to form an amber color at the sides. He sensed that Enishi's ki seems to be dangerous. Both glared daggers at each other, neither wanting to give up. Only thing left was streaks of lightning to appear from both eyes to the other.
Kaoru, sensing the forming tension between the two decided to speak up to break the ice. "Well, I'm alright now, you two won't have to worry" It was enough to break the tension.
"Hello?! We're still here in case you were wondering! Jeez, you act as if you're the only people around here!" Sano interrupted.
"Che, you broke my beauty sleep!" Megumi complained.
Soujiro just smiled, as usual. Aoshi just stared, saying nothing. "Zzzz... Zzzz" *A sleeping Misao, on the floor, could be seen behind all these*
"I'm going back to sleep!" Sano said, and turned his back at them to head to the door. Everyone followed except Enishi and Kenshin.
"Are you sure you're alright?" They both said at the same time. They both got a tired nod as a reply and they both exited, both noticing an obvious rivalry forming.
Kaoru leaned back to her bed after all the commotion, finding it hard to sleep. After shifting uncomfortably for about the hundredth time, she gave up and stood to find a place peaceful enough to gather her thoughts.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop, a certain redhead was reorganizing his thoughts, enjoying the view of the moonlight, stars and the cool breeze. The place seemed to be the perfect place for him, and he felt at peace. He shifted and laid his head on his entwined hands, getting used to the hard material of the roof. He closed his eyes but he felt someone's ki nearby. Opening them once again, something caught his eye.

The figure obviously didn't see Kenshin; it was too busy climbing the roof. A strong gust of mind blew and outbalanced it, sending it falling directly towards the hard grounds of the garden. Acting upon instinct, he grabbed the sakabatou in his right and putting his foot down, jumped in time to catch the person before it fell.

Landing to the roof safely, he turned his head to look at the person in his arms. He was surprised to see who the person appeared to be. "Kaoru-dono?!"
Hearing her name being called, Kaoru opened her eyes to the face of a shocked one. "Kenshin?!" Now it was her turn to be surprised. "What are you doing here, and are we in heaven?"
"Heaven? What would we want to do in heaven?" Kenshin asked. He put down Kaoru and sat down, not leaving his curious eyes of her.
Kaoru hung her head and gave time to think for a while. After some time, she replied, "Aren't we dead?"
"ORO?! DEAD?!!" Kenshin narrowed his eyes as big as saucers and almost fell out of the roof. "Kaoru we're far from DEAD!!! See, I saved you before you hit the ground, so we're not DEAD!!!"
"Oh..." Kaoru looked at him then the stars. She also sat down beside Kenshin and kept quiet for a while.
"The stars are really beautiful tonight..." Kenshin said.
"Yes..." Kaoru whispered and looked at him. It was really getting cold as she wrapped her arms around her legs to keep them warm.
Kenshin glanced at her, and was amazed by the sight. She was smiling at her, her blue eyes shining brightly, almost as bright as the stars. The band she used to tie her hair snapped and sent her hair flowing by the cool wind. "You look like a goddess..." He whispered more to himself than to her companion.
"What?" Kaoru asked while leaning her head at his shoulder.
"Nothing..." Kenshin was surprised when Kaoru leaned at his shoulder but shifted so both snuggled closer sharing the warmth.
Both stayed in the present position, neither moving, neither wanting to lose the warmth. Thoughts in chaos, Kenshin finally decided to speak up. "Ano, Kaoru-dono?"
No reply.
"Kaoru-dono?" He repeated.
Silence.
'She's asleep' Finally realizing that she was asleep, Kenshin stood up, carrying Kaoru gently with him. He walked to the window and went inside as gently as he can so that Kaoru would not wake up.
He laid her on her bed and covered her body with a blanket. Before going, he kissed Kaoru on the forehead and whispered 'Sweet dreams' to her ear. He touched her cheeks lastly and went for the door.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru whispered in her sleep.
***
"Misao, I'm going to town!" Kaoru exclaimed happily. She smiled as she chewed the last morsel of the blueberry cheesecake they had for dessert. Smiling widely, Kaoru stood up and went for the door.
Misao followed and ran beside her. "Hmmm, you've smiling a lot since you woke up today...Kaoru? Hmmm, I wonder what's the reason behind that smile... he, he.." Misao smiled at Kaoru teasingly.
Smiling as she remembered what happened she merely replied, "Let's just say I had a wonderful dream I wouldn't forget..."
"Kaoru!! I'm your bestfriend and I'm supposed to know what happened! Kaoru!" Misao demanded.
Kaoru's reply was just to giggle. She ran to her car and left.
At the town...
Kaoru spotted a really nice bokken on display at a particular weapon shop and stopped. 'Shinsengumi Weapon Shop' it read. She parked her car in the parking space and immediately got out to take a look. Entering the shop, a brown haired guy welcomed her by saying, "Shinsengumi Weapon Shop, the finest weapons in town".
Kaoru looked at the different weapons in display, most of them were different kinds of Japanese swords like but there were other kinds too, some were weird looking. She looked at the arrays of swords on display, on one side was katanas, the other had sakabatous, on the other racks were shinais, bokkens, kodachis and other types. She quickly walked to the shelf of bokkens, looking at each one of them closely. All of them were really good to look at but the one on the edge shone brightly. Picking that one up, she examined it closely and took a few swings with her kata. 'Wow, the woodwork is really fine and this feels really light on my hands.'
She was about to go to the cashier when a green haired girl bumped into her, almost knocking her down. "Watch where you're going...Shura?"
The green haired girl looked up in surprise and said, "Kaoru? What are you doing here?"
"Shura! Wow, long time no see! Wait here." Kaoru ran to the register to purchase her bokken and returned afterwards.
The two friends reconciled after not seeing each other for years since highschool. Shura was one of Kaoru's bestfriends besides Misao and another one named Tae. They went to a nearby café named Akabeko.
As they went to order their food they recognized the brown haired woman behind the counters. "Tae!" They both exclaimed at the same time.
"Shura, Kaoru! It's nice to see you two again! You can order whatever you like but I'll see you later, I've got work to do!" Smiling, Tae called for a waitress to lead them to the unoccupied table near the window.
After being seated, Shura smiled at her long lost friend. "So what are you up to this days, what do you do?"
Kaoru smiled and answered, "Well, not much, I've been working as a pediatrician, I've got my own clinic you know, I visit once in a while but my cousin Sayo manages it for a while, for now I'm having my vacation."
A waitress came to take their orders. Kaoru smiled and politely asked for a slice of cake and some brewed coffee. Shura just asked what tasted good and settled for a cup of cappuccino instead.
After giving the tip to the waitress, Kaoru then turned to Shura to ask. "How about you, what do you do?"
Shura shrugged and answered, "I'm not supposed to tell you this but...Well, I work undercover for the police...I shouldn't have said that..."
Kaoru just stared at her friend and afterwards replied, "That's all right, what do you work undercover for?"
"I might as well tell you, I'm tracking down a madman by the name of ...Enishi" Shura replied.
With that, Kaoru froze as her eyes widened.
***
Author narrating...All day Kaoru did nothing but run and hide...from Enishi. She was shaken because of friend mentioning his name. Of course, she didn't really believe that the Enishi she knew was the one Shura mentioned...but better safe than sorry...
Kaoru parked her car inside and leaped out of the convertible. She walked to the front door when she caught sight of Enishi walking to her direction. Alarmed, Kaoru turned left, noticing that Enishi hadn't noticed her. Too busy looking out for him; she didn't notice the wall of glass ahead of her. Kaoru turned to face it, only to have her face splat on the glass. "Owww!"
Misao was talking to Kenshin when she tuned to see a girl walking towards the glass, suddenly a face went splat on the glass wall and followed by a loud shriek. "Kenshin could you please check outside?" 'That sure was an ugly sight, that must have really hurt...'
Further that afternoon, Kaoru was strolling around the gardens when she saw Enishi again...Alarmed she hid behind the bushes.
"Where did she go? She sure does a great disappearing act..." With that, Enishi turned, heading to the opposite direction.
"Jou-chan?! What are you doing there...eat dirt? Ha, ha, ha" Sano snickered.
Angry, Kaoru emerged from her hiding place, her face red with embarrassment and shouted to her brother, "None of your business, Sano" She stormed out of the bushes like an angry elephant, each step causing a mini earthquake.
"I swear I saw you kissing those precious worms of yours!" Sano teased further making Kaoru angrier, smoke coming out of her ears.
"I'll get you for this!!!" Kaoru hollered to her brother not noticing the man she was about to bump to. Then she bumped to him. "E-enishi...!"
a/n: Sorry for the kiss, I'm not very good at those things.. I personally think that hamsters are cute, I even had many before. The hamster climbing Kaoru's bed incident was based on my real life experiences. I was sleeping then I woke up, feeling something crawl on my belly, then there it was, my hamster. The reason about how my hamster got to my bed was a mystery up to now... In case you were wondering, the man on the shop was Okita...Shinsen- group... what do you think? More coming up...^_^
