Thanks for everyone who replied!!! You make Aya very happy!! I update
pretty quick because I started writing this fic half a year ago but was too
chicken to post it up. I was afraid no one would like my story and I
wouldn't get any replies. thanks for proving me wrong. I'm a little more
than half way done with the fic but I dunno if you guys willing to read on
in the later chapters because it's gonna get really, really depressing and
some parts might be pretty boring and OOC. I'm trying figure out how to
shorten my story and make it less boring. but it's pretty hard because all
boring chapters are really crucial. Anyways, thank you all again for your
replies!!
Gypsy-chan: Thanks for your reply. Don't worry, I like it when people ask questions because it shows me that I didn't explain enough. I'll try my best to stop confusing people.. But anyways, Kaoru knows when to and when not to go too far. (as in being a B***h) having the fact that she now understands the fact that Kenshin sorta owns her and also she gets sorta scared when Kenshin is angry. Yes, Kaoru's family lives in Cali while she is in Japan. If Kaoru's family wants to see her, they have to fly to Japan so they all can meet. Kaoru's family doesn't know about the press conference having the fact that they live in a totally different country. I hope I cleared things up a bit.
Ewunia: Sorry, but I dunno why the link did that. I tried clinking on my own story and everything was alrite. Maybe it was juss at that time.? Anyways, thanks for all your replies.
I do not own Rurouni Kenshin

Kaoru awoke with a throbbing headache and suddenly felt something come up
from her stomach. Kaoru ran into the bathroom as she threw up the last of
her drink from the night before. It was her first time drinking so the
alcohol didn't participate very well with her stomach. Kaoru lugged herself
out of the bathroom and looked thankfully at the maid with some hot tea
waiting for her. Kaoru sipped at the tea as her headache continued to throb
away. Amazingly it seemed like the tea was easing the pain. Kaoru got up
from the couch and headed towards her room as she came in contact with
Kenshin.
"How are you feeling?" Kenshin asked emotionlessly.
Kaoru fringed, "I'll be okay.Kenshin-san.what happened yesterday night?"
"Like?" Kenshin asked simply.
"Well.I didn't do anything to embarrass you or anything.did I?" Kaoru
asked afraid of the answer.
"Nothing out of the norm," Kenshin said walking away from Kaoru.
Kaoru felt an overwhelmed smile appear on her face as she walked into her
room and laid back down again hoping her hangover would be gone when she
reawaked.
"Kaoru-sama.you must wake up." a soft and frantic voiced called above
Kaoru.
Kaoru opened her eyes to find one of the maids towering over her bed "Is
there something wrong?"
The maid bowed apologetically, "Mr. Seta is here to see you."
Kaoru didn't have a clue who Mr. Seta was, "Excuse me but who's that?"
"The son of Seta Electronic, Mr. Seta Soujiro," the maid informed promptly.
Kaoru got up from her bed and headed for her bathroom in a rush, "Please
tell him I'll be out in a couple of minutes."
Kaoru quickly brushed her teeth and combed her hair. She rushed to put on
some decent clothes and act like she was waiting for someone to visit her
the whole day. Kaoru finally walked out looking perfect.
Kaoru smiled and bowed, "Kenshin-san isn't."
"Yeah, I know. Kenshin asked me to take you out with some of the guys,"
Soujiro said brightly.
Kaoru was some what perplexed, "What about Kenshin-san?"
Soujiro shrugged, "He said he was busy or something."
"It's really okay. I'll just stay home," Kaoru then replied.
"Don't worry it's something we want to do. As Kenshin's closest friend's we
should be treating you out," Soujiro tried to convince.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to get some fresh air," Kaoru said relaxing at the
thought of not having to impress someone the whole time she was outside of
the house.
"Then shall we be leaving?" Soujiro asked opening the door.
Kaoru put on her black boots and walked out towards the cool afternoon
breeze, "The weather is wonderful today!"
Soujiro unlocked his car with an alarm button on his keys, "Today's a perfect
day for a summer outing."
"Where are we going Soujiro-san?" Kaoru asked getting into the champagne
colored Lexus IS 300.
"Katsu, Aoshi, and Sano are all at Aoshi's house. So is there anything you
want to do today?" Soujiro asked.
"Whatever you'd like," Kaoru answered submissively.
"I'm sure there's some place you want to go," Soujiro said trying to get Kaoru
to start thinking for herself.
Kaoru thought hard trying not to anger Soujiro thinking she was talking to
Kenshin, "It would be nice to go somewhere grassy with a pond and maybe
some ducks.is that okay?"
Soujiro smiled at Kaoru's answer, "Aoshi's backyard it is!"
.Aoshi-san's backyard is a park?" Kaoru asked at Soujiro's answer.
"I guess you can call it that. It's the exact same size as Kenshin's backyard
except that Aoshi's backyard has a pond instead of a rose garden," Soujiro
explained.
"That's so nice. I always wanted to live in a big house but after a week at
Kenshin-san's it's pretty scary living in such a large place," Kaoru commented
a bit embarrassed.
"You get used to it. I've always lived in a fairly large house so I feel
claustrophobic in small ones," Soujiro explained.
Kaoru smiled and listened to the music that was flowing out of Soujiro car as
she watched the trees whiz by.
Soujiro hated awkward silences, "So, are you always this quiet?"
"Huh?" Kaoru asked hearing her name.
"You're very quiet," Soujiro commented once again.
Kaoru shrugged lightly, "I never know what to talk about so I don't talk at
all."
Soijiro laughed lightly, "There's a first. The girls I know usually have too
much to say but you have nothing to say."
"I guess I'm just not as charismatic as other girls these days," Kaoru said
hopelessly.
"You were pretty charismatic during your press conference," Soujiro said
thinking about seeing an outgoing and energetic Kaoru.
Kaoru laughed at the thought of her "character" at the press conference, "I
was just doing as Grandfather Hiko told me to. You know since the Himuras
are a well-known family whoever comes into the Himura family has to be
close to perfect."
"It would be nice to see more of the Kaoru I saw on TV," Soujiro commented
as he pulled into Aoshi's elaborate house.
"Aoshi's house is just as big as Kenshin-san's," Kaoru said looking around.
Soujiro laughed at Kaoru's easily amazed personality, "It's a decent size."
Soujiro led Kaoru towards the doorway as he let himself in and went straight
for the backyard where a fairytale came alive.
There was an immense pond in the middle of the backyard with benches here
and there and expensive patio furniture in certain spots around the pond.
Kaoru spotted a group of guys sitting at a round glass table with white
chairs. They sat right underneath a large willow tree. Kaoru marveled at the
pond with the swans and lily pads floating around.
"You're right on time Soujiro," Aoshi said sarcastically with a grin.
Kaoru bowed to the other 3 and ran over towards the edge of the pond
staring at the swans that swam around and once in awhile came out with a
fish in their beaks.
"She never looks the same," Katsu commented towards Soujiro.
"What are you talking about Katsu?" Sano asked curiously.
"You should have seen Kaoru a couple of nights ago. I had dinner with
Kenshin, Kaoru, and Megumi and she looked nothing like what she looks right
now," Katsu said remembering exactly how Kaoru looked that night.
Aoshi rolled his eyes, "She couldn't have been that pretty."
"You haven't seen her in a red dress with make-up on," Katsu said
confidently.
"But Megumi is not that bad either," Soujiro replied.
"Megumi also had more surgeries in one year then a football player gets in
his whole life," Sano said with a laugh.
"Believe me, Kaoru looked perfect. You guys all know Grandfather Hiko only
goes for the best.and Kaoru was the best that night," Katsu said forcefully.
Soujiro looked over at Kaoru who was sitting at the edge of the pond, "She's
not fine but she's cute. You could probably add some makeup and get rid of
all that cuteness."
"So why is Kenshin canceling everything?" Sano asked the others abruptly.
"You know Kenshin, he's unpredictable. Half the time you don't know what the
hell that fool's up to," Aoshi said not satisfied with Kenshin's actions lately.
Katsu shook his head in disapproval, "Like grandfather Hiko is going to let
Kenshin just cancel his wedding."
"If he can't cancel it he's going to America to study for another 4 years. I
think Kenshin hoping Kaoru would have run off tired of waiting," Soujiro said
with a pessimistic voice.
A tiny dog from inside the house came running out with a bell attached to his
collar. The bell made a loud ringing as the dog came jumping around the table
the guys were at. Kaoru spotted the dog from the jingling noise and ran over
towards the guys.
"Don't tell Kaoru Tao is from Kenshin," Aoshi warned.
Kaoru looked excitedly at the miniature dog wagging his tail at Kaoru, "Can I
hold him?"
"Go ahead," Aoshi said with a light smile.
Kaoru picked up the small dog into her arms as she looked beamed with a
childish smile, "What's his name?"
"Tao," Aoshi said looking up at the dog that was playing with some string
from Kaoru's shirt.
Kaoru kissed the dog on the top of his soft head and let him lick her cheek,
"He's so cute."
"Do you want him?" Aoshi asked as Kaoru wishfully looked down at the dog.
Kaoru looked at Aoshi with eyes of hope, "Really?! Aren't you going to miss
your dog?"
"I promised my friend that I'd find Tao a nice home," Aoshi lied as Kaoru fell
for the story.
"Take him Kaoru," Sano encouraged.
Kaoru bright face suddenly fell to a very upset face, "I don't think I can
keep this Aoshi-san."
Katsu looked at Aoshi then turned to Kaoru, "So why can't you keep Tao?"
Kaoru took a seat at the table and put the dog down on her lap, "I don't think
Kenshin-san would approve."
A smile spread across Soujiro's face, "Kenshin loves dogs."
"Really?! Can I really keep him Aoshi-san?" Kaoru asked hopefully.
"I guess it would be okay," Aoshi replied like he had to think about it.
Kaoru beamed as she pulled Tao to her chest, "Thank you so much!"
"You're very easily pleased." Sano commented.
Kaoru looked up at Sano from Tao, "I'm easily pleased and extremely hard to
disappoint."
Soujiro felt like pretty soon Kaoru was going to become easily disappointed
to, "So what do you rate Kenshin as a fiancé?"
"He's a nice person," everyone knew that Kaoru was lying but no one dared
contradict what she said.
"Hey guys!" a girl called walking onto the grass. Kaoru turned around and saw
a dark green haired girl walking over in a knee length navy blue skirt with a
white button up on top.
"Oh.you guys should have told me you had a guest," she said politely.
Kaoru got up form her seat and bowed, the simple habit she picked up after
becoming known as "Himura Kenshin's" fiancé.
"Kaoru meet my girlfriend Misao," Soujiro introduced as the pretty light
green-eyed girl smiled beautifully at Kaoru.
"You must be Kenshin niisan's fiancé right?" Misao asked excitedly.
Kaoru nodded enthralled by Misao jollyness, "It's nice to meet you."
Kaoru remained standing with Misao until one of the butlers brought over an
extra chair, "You're such a cute girl."
Kaoru blushed at Misao kind comment, "You're very pretty yourself."
Sano looked at Misao funnily, "You should she this girl on the weekends when
she's too lazy to prep herself up."
Misao threw a crumpled napkin at Sano and turned to Kaoru sophisticatedly,
"Don't mind Sanosuke he's been saying a lot of strange things these days. So,
where's Kenshin niisan?"
"He's a little busy today and asked us to take Kaoru out," Aoshi answered.
"It's such a nice day, why are you guys sitting around here?" Misao asked
confused.
"The view here is lovely," Kaoru said looking around the 4-acre backyard.
Misao got up from her seat and pulled Kaoru up with her, "Soujiro let's go to
the beach!"
Soujiro looked up Misao like she was crazy, "Are you out of your mind
Misao?"
Misao sat down next to Soujiro and begged, "Please Sou-channn!!!! Our beach
house is empty anyway! Aoshi niisan don't you want to go to the beach too?"
"It wouldn't be all that bad," Aoshi commented toward Soujiro.
"See Sou-chan even Aoshi niisan wants to go! Please Sou-chan, I love you."
Misao said sweetly as Soujiro gave in.
"Alright, meet us back here in 2 hours okay?" Soujiro asked Misao.
Misao smiled thankfully at Soujiro and the others, "You guys are the best!
Kaoru you can come with me."
Kaoru tried to bow to the guys with Tao in one arm and the other arm being
pulled by Misao. Parked outside was a detailed white civic. Misao
automatically unlocked the door and ushered Kaoru into the car.
"Should I drop you off at Kenshin niisan's house and pick you up in a hour and
a half?" Misao asked enthusiastically.
"It really doesn't matter with me," Kaoru said flippantly.
"Alright then, if it's okay with you I'll drop you off at home and pick you up
at 2:30 okay?" Misao asked Kaoru.
Kaoru answered Misao's question with a smile and returned back to Tao who
seemed very interested in the car ride. Misao got to Kenshin house rather
quickly.
"I'll be out by 2:30 Misao-san," Kaoru said thankfully.
"Oh, just call me Misao," Misao said comfortably.
Kaoru nodded and closed the door as she waved to Misao. As soon as Misao's
car was out of the curvy driveway Kaoru skipped into the house with Tao in
her arms. She put Tao down as she took off her shoes. Kaoru headed for her
room as Tao followed close behind. Kaoru closed the door to her room as Tao
wondered around and Kaoru went straight for her closet.
Kaoru grabbed out a backpack and started neatly folding some comfortable
clothes into her pack. She grabbed a pair of black capris and a sea green
tank top up to change into. Kaoru quickly got out of her semi formal clothes
and put on her new outfit. She pulled up her hair loosely and put her
sunglasses on top of her hair. As Kaoru was walking into the bathroom to
grab some toiletries a firm knock came at her door, then Kenshin walked in.
"We need to talk." Kenshin said, with a soft tone of voice for the first time
since Kaoru moved in.
