So what did you guys think of the last chapter that I typed for you? Well if you liked it, then you might like this chapter a little bit too. As you may have noticed Kenshin really isn't into Kaoru yet. That's because I'm saving the best for last! But for now you'll just have to figure out who Kaoru will have to go with, fall in love with (besides Kenshin), and break that persons heart. So please just read another chapter of Girl Assassin!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Recap of last chapter:

Kenshin ran all the way to Kaoru and said, "Where is the battle? I don't want to miss it!!" he exclaimed. He looked directly into Kaoru's eyes and saw sadness.

Kaoru quietly pointed to the direction and saw Kenshin leave.

Chapter Fourteen:

Soujiro's Hidden Feelings

Kenshin walked, or rather strode, all the way to the previous battleground. He saw the big crowd gathered around the supposedly dead body. He inched his way closer and closer to see what the others saw. He pushed his way through the crowd and saw the letter R.I.P carved right into the ground. Then he looked at the body. He saw some familiar face lying there. He looked closer and saw that it was Akira. He gasped.

'That can't be Akira!' he thought. He asked the nearby hitokiri and he said,

"Yes. This is Akira. The guard that was just here left right now."

"Thank you." Kenshin said. Kenshin continued to look at the body. Now his one single question was confirmed. Akira, his once close friend, was dead.

Kaoru continued to stumble through the halls until she came to her room. She staggered inside and flopped down on her newly sheeted bed. The bed sheet was her favorite color. Blue. She got up and looked about her room. She didn't notice until now that her room was painted blue instead of its usual purple color. "I better thank the person that painted my room. I was beginning to get tired of purple." Kaoru said.

She took out a new kimono and walked into her bathroom. She turned on the water and let it run. Then she plugged it and made sure it stayed tight. After that she undressed herself and sit inside the tub. She grabbed the soap and a wash rug that was nearby and started to scrub her body. Unknown to her she had left her bathroom door open to any stranger that might just wander in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Soujiro had just finished his job for Mr. Shishio. His job was to paint Kaoru's room blue before she had gotten back from the battle. And her battle had been like how long; a few minutes? And Mr. Shishio was asking him to do it in a few minutes. Sometimes being Mr. Shishio's  helper was a little too much.

Soujrio sighed a heavy sigh.

Of course Soujiro had gotten out of the room in time. Just as he had left the room he saw Kaoru rounding the corner. He decided to run and hide behind a wall. He waited and watched as Kaoru opened and closed her door. But he noticed that she didn't close it all the way. So he decided to close the door for her. He was about to close the door he saw another door close but didn't close all the way. It was Kaoru's bathroom door. That's when he was having problems with his inner self, or rather his inner 'Soujiro'.

'Should I peek or not?' was the main question that Soujiro kept on asking himself. "Sometimes little sweet Soujiro can be a hentai you know!" he told himself.

So it was decided. He was to go in and peek when Kaoru wasn't looking. Of course that would probably mean danger for him but he still wanted to go.

He pushed the door a little more and stepped inside the now blue room. He tiptoed to the bathroom door oh so silently and let his little eyes peek and satisfy his hentai mind. (Can you imagine that? Soujiro being a hentai?!! Of course that just sounds wrong! That doesn't sound like our dear Soujro!! But all of this will still fit into my little plan!! Heeeheee….)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Kaoru was starting to relax a little. Even though she had just become a hitokiri doesn't mean that she couldn't relax. Especially after she was emotionally wasted when her other side started to think red especially blood baths. Blood. Blood. That one word was enough to trigger the Battousai in Kaoru. But dear Kaoru held on tight and restrained herself from harming herself since her other side was desperately pleading for something that resembles blood. All of this took place under the closing of the eyelids.

Kaoru sighed. She felt so much better. But she decided that she was in the bathroom too long. Maybe people would start to wonder what she was doing in the bathroom all of this time. "Well they won't wonder now! 'Cause now Kaoru is coming out!!" she said out loud.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Soujiro had heard what she had just said and decided now was the time to leave or something might've happened to his poor little body. He silently left the door to the bathroom and closed the door just as silently. Then he left for Shishio's office. While he was walking his mind began to wander.

He had seen Kaoru's body (eeeeewwwww!!! Gross!!! I know that was really nasty of me but don't be mad!! People my age have perverted thoughts okay?! You can't blame us!!). He had seen everything (*throws up*). But he really didn't want his mind to wander when the memory was still fresh and he was walking in pure daylight. So he saved those thoughts for another time. Like when he goes to sleep. That should be the only time he would think those thoughts.

But while he was watching her he had weird feelings. He felt a spark of lust. But he honestly would have to save this for later.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

That was a really short chapter I know. I know that there wasn't much of Kenshin. But I think the only main characters in this story was just Kaoru and Soujiro. As for Soujiro's hentai thoughts, that will fit in my story!!! Please review!!!
