[AN: Thanks once again for correcting me. I feel so stupid ::hits self on head:: Yeah, oh well that's the past. Don't blame me if I make mistakes because I'm currently listening to "1/2" from the show - what a great song. Ok well enjoy this chapter for I'll make it as enjoyable as possible.... I hope. XD You know what sucks? I haven't finished the RK series yet! I'm still stuck at the episode after Yahiko uses the Ryu Tsui Sen on the skinny dude from the Juppongatana! Rofl! Kamatari's a queer! Ok, on with the fanfic!]

Don't you just wish I owned Rurouni Kenshin? HECK YA!

Fights do Solve Problems

Kenshin was starving after playing dolls with Kaoru's siblings. "Oh yeah! Our date, sorry Kenshin. I kinda forgot about it, I just came by to.... um.... drop off something. I gave it to your friend Soujiro." Tomoe just didn't have the guts to tell Kenshin that she was cheating on him. She was really in love with someone else. She knew Kenshin was poor and she was too rich for him, thinking that she was too good for him, but she didn't know he was too good for her. (wink)

"Oh, ok then. See you some other time then." Kenshin lowered his head in disappointment and started walking back to his dojo.

"Sorry Kenshin, but I have to do something important tonight. You know, family stuff." Tomoe was really anxious to go to her other date right now, not feeling a slight of guilt. (AN: EVIL! ) Kenshin walked into his dojo and was welcomed by his uncle.

"Well Kenshin, where were you today? We still have some training." Hiko pouted as he really wanted to torture Kenshin with all the techniques that he knew.

"Nowhere. I was just at a girl's house doing a project."

"WHAT! You're cheating on Tomoe? I feel so ashamed that you're my nephew."

"No, the girl's name is Kaoru Kamiya and she just lives down the street at the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu dojo. We were just doing a school project."

"What? You're doing a project with our dojo rival's daughter? How embarrassing. Do what you must, it is for your grade after all. Not that you like her or anything...." Hiko smiled. "Unless you do," he added. "Come on my baka-deshi. We need to practice then you need to do your homework." Both entered the dojo after dressing into their training clothes. Kenshin was in his usual: a red gi and white hakama, while his uncle was in a teal gi and also a white hakama with a white cloak. Not wanting to hurt each other, both grabbed a sakabatou specially made for them. It was heavier than his shinai, but Kenshin felt like he was already used to it. He had only changed from a shinai to a real sword just a couple days ago.

"I'm ready uncle. Let's see what you got." And so they started sparring. Sparks were sent all around the dojo for the clashing of their swords were loud and had power put behind them. Hiko was going too easy on him so he decided to kick it up a notch. He increased his speed, but so did Kenshin. Kenshin had already begun sweating after the first ten minutes. 'My uncle is really good even at his age. Better try harder.' Kenshin let out a burst of speed and ran behind his uncle, but his uncle wasn't that dumb and quickly blocked Kenshin's attack from behind. Kenshin quickly backed away before Hiko could counter. 'Maybe from above....' Kenshin quickly jumped up as high as he could and got into position for his favorite aerial attack. "Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, Ryu Tsui Sen!" Kenshin came down with his sakabatou slashing downwards aiming towards the collarbone. But as his uncle, Hiko definitely knew his nephew's favorite attack and therefore swiftly blocked it. 'Wow, this one was stronger than the one he did yesturday....' Once Kenshin landed he knew it was over. Hiko tripped him with the sakabatou and stood up aiming the sword at Kenshin's throat.

"Showing improvement I see, but you'll never learn the secrets to the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu if you fight like that." Hiko lifted his sword away from Kenshin's throat and lent a hand. Kenshin gladly took it and was immediately lifted up from his position on the floor. "Now Kenshin, go wash up and I'll get dinner ready."

"Uncle? You can cook?"

"You don't think I lived off nothing before I adopted you?" They both laughing at each other and went there separate ways. Kenshin's thought suddenly went to Kaoru. 'Why the heck am I still thinking about her? Am I in love? No, I have Tomoe, but she's so different from her....' Kenshin quickly shook his head and took a shower.

When Kenshin came down to find the usual: miso soup, cooked fish, and, why of course, RICE! Yes rice indeed, what all Asians eat.... I think, well if they don't they should. Ok back to the story. (AN: Went a little off task there XD) Kenshin sat down on his knees right across the table from his uncle. Kenshin thanked his uncle for the food and support, and then began digging in. He enjoyed it while it lasted for they would eventually run out of money. Kenshin would have to get a job.

"Hurry Kenshin and do your homework. That's what's keeping you in school right?" Hiko left Kenshin all to himself at the dinner table. Kenshin eventually returned to his room and started doing his homework.

The sun started to set and Kenshin was only half way done with his homework. He was consumed by his boredom and started to draw using his "artistic" skills. He began to daydream again about.... (guess who?) Kaoru. He quickly snapped out of the trance and looked at what he had drawn. Who do you think? Good job! Kaoru! 'Why am I thinking about her so much? Am I forgetting about Tomoe?'

'You know you like her.'

'No I can't. She deserves someone better than me.'

'But you like her. She's pretty, talented, and caring.' Kenshin slapped himself as hard as he could, but making sure that he didn't leave a bruise. 'Gotta finish homework.'

Kaoru also couldn't stop thinking about Kenshin that night. She just couldn't forget the way he stared at her with his purple eyes. 'Ok this is going to be the last time I kick myself on the head mentally! I'm not going to think about that boy anymore! He already has a girlfriend!' So Kaoru kicked herself mentally on the head for the last time, but she still couldn't sleep. 'Man! This really sucks; I'm going nuts about this guy! I'm going to take a walk.' But a walk to Kaoru meant going out for a drive in her car. (AN: Rich people ::sigh::) Kaoru walked toward the garage and hopped into her Mercedes. 'What am I missing?' Kaoru suddenly whacked herself on the forehead with her hand and went looking for the keys. She went back inside to look for the keys when she heard sounds of something swinging. She followed the sound and it led her to the dojo. There, Kaoru found her brother practicing with his bokken, sweating like a pig.

"What are you doing up so late ugly?" Yahiko asked when he had noticed her and stopped.

"I should ask you the same, but I'm sorry to intrude. Need a sparring partner?" Kaoru quickly went into her room and changed into her training clothes. She returned and grabbed a bokken from the wall, taking her stance in front of Yahiko. "Are you ready?" Yahiko responded with an attack of his bokken. Kaoru swiftly dodged it like it was nothing, but she didn't underestimate her little brother. 'He's been improving, but it's not enough to defeat me! HAHAHAHAHA!' Kaoru evilishly laughed in her mind while only showing a smile on her face. Yahiko continued attacking while Kaoru kept on taking slight steps, but still enough to dodge, looking for the correct timing for her to attack. This went on for about two minutes when Yahiko began to slow down. 'This is my chance!' Kaoru span around Yahiko to end up behind him and slowly tapped her brother's back with the bokken.

"It's over. You would have been knocked out by that blow."

"No I wouldn't, Ugly! I'm not a kid anymore, I can take hard blows!"

"Oh really? What makes you so sure?" Kaoru asked sarcastically while smiling. She lifted up her bokken, but decided not to hit him. "Well after that, I bet you and I can probably get a good night's sleep tonight. We have school tomorrow." Yahiko nodded, put back his bokken, and ran off to his room. Kaoru smiled feeling proud of her little brother. 'He has the spirit and potential, but he doesn't have the brains.' Kaoru giggled to herself and went back to her room herself. She changed into her nightgown and flopped herself onto her bed. She had arranged her room nicely, but still had some unpacked clothes. She yawned and immediately closed her eyes and dreamt about.... ah what the heck, you know who!

Kaoru woke up to her alarm clock that started to play "My Will" on it. She quickly grabbed her remote to turn off the stereo/alarm. 'Ugh, why 7 in the morning?' Kaoru was so dazed she almost ran into her door without opening it on her way to take a shower. While Kaoru was in the middle of her shower, Yahiko had woken up and noticed that she was taking a shower. He smirked and went to the lower level's bathroom. 'AHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil!' Yahiko turned on the water to the showers and heard a sudden scream. Yahiko chuckled and turned off the water.

"YAHIKO! YOU ARE SO DEAD WHEN I'M DONE!" That was a hint for Yahiko to hurry up and get out of the house as fast as he could, but too bad he wasn't that fast and was suddenly tackled by his sister.

"Yahiko is dead!" Ayame laughed at the scene.

"Yahiko dead!" Suzume just stood there repeating Ayame's phrase in her own way, while playing with her doll.

Mr. Kamiya suddenly walked into the scene. "Alright you two, breakfast is almost ready." Kaoru got off Yahiko and brushed off her clothes as she walked back toward her room to get ready for school. She quickly changed into her school uniform and brushed her hair. Kaoru took a ribbon from one of her drawers from her desk and tied her hair into a ponytail with it.

"Bye everyone! I'm leaving!" Her farewell was responded with moaning from Yahiko, laughter from Suzume, a hug from Ayame, and a wave from her father. Kaoru walked to the garage. 'Hm.... which car? This is going to be hard.' Kaoru eventually got the keys for her white Celica that was lowered and had comfy seats. She had totally modified it since the things that came with it when she had bought it really sucked. Kaoru drove off (vroom! ) and turned toward the school.

Kaoru had continued driving when she saw a sudden flash of red. She stepped hard on the brakes and looked back. 'Kenshin was walking to school?' Kaoru popped her head out of the window and yelled out to him. "Hey Kenshin!" He responded and waved. "Need a ride?"

"No, I don't want to bother you."

"You won't be bothering, I'm just returning the favor for playing with my sisters." Kenshin just nodded and ran up to open the door and sit right next to Kaoru.

"Thanks." Kaoru pressed hard on the pedal and resumed driving to school. Kenshin looked around the car and noticed a PS2 on the floor. "Um.... what's this doing here?" Kenshin pointed at the console.

"Oh! That, yeah. My brother wanted it in this car since I usually pick him up from school. Want to play?" Well they did have a lot of time since they were too early for anyone to be at school. She parked the car in front of the school where students could park their cars. Kaoru pressed a button on the roof of the car and down came a little television. Kaoru switched on the PS2 and the T.V. "Go ahead Kenshin." She pointed at the second player controller while she grabbed the first player controller.

"We don't have to...."

"Aw come on Kenshin, don't be shy. It's Soul Caliber 2." Kenshin quickly lit up and grabbed the controller.

Both played while waiting for school to start. Tomoe had just driven by and parked right next to them not noticing Kenshin in the car next to hers until he had screamed. Tomoe saw Kenshin in a white Celica with Kaoru sitting right next to him teasing him about losing to her in a video game. Jealousy ran through her blood.

"Kenshin! What are you doing?" Kenshin looked out the window to see Tomoe with her hands on her hips. He jumped out of the car incase Tomoe started getting pissed. While getting out, Kenshin thanked Kaoru and ran off with Tomoe. "Kenshin? What were you doing with that girl? I thought you said you had nothing to do with her. You baka! I'm going to punish you for that." Kenshin's head drooped down as he walked with her. 'Man she's treating me like a dog. We're drifting so much apart lately. How did I come to like her?'

Kaoru met up with Misao in English and sat in the back with her. English was especially boring today because they were learning what words start with the letter A. Kaoru participated now and then to get a good behavior grade and so did Misao when Kaoru told her to. "Man Misao, how much boring can English get?"

"I don't know, you ask the teacher." The girls giggled. "Or do you want to ask Kenshin." Misao really emphasized the name. Kaoru blushed.

"No way! We're just friends, we're nothing like that!"

"Right Kaoru." Misao just smiled at her and English finished.

Asian History

"Today, we'll discuss the legends of Sengoku Jidai. Take out your books and get in groups of three to read to each other. Read three chapters. Then right a summary for me tomorrow for homework." Mr. Genzai wasn't strict, but he could make you learn if he had to. 'So I know Misao's going to be in my group, who else?' Kenshin came over when this other person got in front of him.

"Hi, I've been watching over you and I think you're sexy." Kaoru sweatdropped and leaned forward to see Kenshin walking away. "My name's Enishi."

"Um.... glad to meet you."

"Do you mind if I join your little group?" Kaoru looked over at Kenshin who was all alone other than the girls surrounding him.

"Um.... sorry, but we already have a third person in mind."

"Oh, and who would that be?"

Kaoru stood up and walked toward Kenshin. "Hey Himura-san." Kenshin turned around to see Kaoru in front of him. He sniffed and smelled a smelly smell that was really relaxing. 'She smells like jasmine.' Kenshin noticed that he was daydreaming in front of Kaoru and quickly snapped out of it.

"Oh, hi Kamiya-san. It's a nice day today, that it is."

"You want to be in our group?" Kenshin looked at the girls surrounding her and wanted really bad to get away.

"Yeah, sure." Kenshin picked up his stuff and walked with Kaoru towards Misao.

"Thanks Kamiya-san."

"Thanks for what? And please, call me Kaoru." They reached Misao and pulled three desks together.

"Thanks for getting me away from those people. And you please, call me Kenshin." Kenshin looked back to where he was sitting. There he saw the group of girls all pouting wanting him to go back. Misao just smiled. 'They are so perfect, too bad he has a girlfriend.'

"Ahem." Misao looked at them both. Kaoru and Kenshin had been staring at each other for quite a while now.

"Oh, Misao. Sorry about that."

"Did you know you just turned down the most popular guy?"

"Who that Enishi person?" Kaoru definitely didn't know he was that popular.

"You turned down Enishi?" Kenshin asked.

"Yeah, why what's wrong with that?" Everyone was looking at Kaoru listening to her conversation. The three became silent and lowered their heads. They began with their assignment and each of them reading a chapter.

"Enishi's like the richest, most popular guy that every girl wants to date and stuff, but not me of course." Misao looked up with her eyes glittering. I wonder who she's thinking about? (wink)

Kenshin thought about what Kaoru had done for him during his turn of reading. "You turned down Enishi's offer just for.... me?" Kenshin asked after reading his part.

"Yeah, so? What if I did? I saw that you were a little annoyed by that group over there so I thought I'd help you out." Kaoru smiled at Kenshin and he smiled back.

"Well, thank you then, and it's your turn to read."

PE

Kaoru was informed that they would have to dress the next day in training clothes for PE, unless they wanted points to get marked off. Once again, Misao and herself walked into the gym through the side. Kaoru saw Kenshin with two guys. One she noticed as the person Misao had to partner up with, Sanosuke Sagara, and the other as Soujiro Seta.

The gym teacher blew his whistle and everyone lined up in a bunch of straight lines. Once again handing out bokkens for everyone, everyone partnered up to practice sparring. Everyone paired up with the obvious: Kaoru with Misao, and everyone else with their friend. Kenshin was with Soujiro since Sanosuke didn't really like kendo. He really liked fistfights. The teacher blew the whistle once more to tell everyone to start. Kaoru coached Misao as they sparred. Kaoru obviously not wanting to hit her hard while Misao couldn't control her blows and accidentally hit Kaoru hard a few times, but it wasn't anything serious. Kaoru was about to let out "unnecessary" language, but she held it in.

The PE teacher eventually told everyone to switch partners. Kenshin eyed Kaoru and he started walking towards her to challenge her. He lightly put his hand on her shoulder and slowly turned her around. "Um.... Kaoru, want to spar?"

"I'd be honored to." Kaoru waved to Misao and followed Kenshin to their sparring arena. Both took their stances and stared at each other for a few seconds, waiting for one another to make a move. Kaoru made the first step and charged at Kenshin. Once getting in range, Kaoru swung her bokken down with speed, but when she was about to hit him, Kenshin disappeared. Kaoru was quickly dumbfounded, but looked behind her to see Kenshin there and ready to attack. Kaoru turned around and blocked his powerful blow. 'Whew that was close.' They pushed each other back and stood at their stances again. Everyone had been watching, even the teacher was shocked and began sweating. 'They're better than I am....' The teacher became worried and was about to stop the sparring, but the crowd was too big and he couldn't get to them. Kaoru and Kenshin continued fighting. They were mostly charging at each other, blocking each other attacks, and countering. 'He's going easy on me!' They paused for a second. "Kenshin! I know you're going easy on me." Everyone looked around and said compliments like "He was going easy?" "That looked like he was going all out," or "I'm quitting kendo." Kenshin smiled.

"Yes I have been going easy, but I just didn't want to hurt you."

"Kenshin! Come on! Just because I'm a girl, you go easy. I want to see your full skill." And so both started sparring again, but Kenshin was too fast for Kaoru. Kenshin charged at Kaoru with both hands hanging on his bokken. Kaoru waited for the perfect time to swing, but when the time was right she swung her bokken down. Kenshin dodged it quickly and span around it.

"Ryu Kan Sen!" After he had span around the bokken, Kenshin lifted his bokken and swung it around so that the sword would hit her neck with a backhand kind of swing. At the last second he stopped his bokken with control. Kaoru was in shock as she never knew he was that fast. "Sorry Kaoru, but it's over." Kenshin lowered his head and walked away. The audience's eyes were bulging out, as they have never seen Kenshin fight.

"No wait Kenshin!" Kaoru held out her hand. "Good job, I'm going to train harder, and when I get better, you're the one that's going to lose." She smiled at him showing that she was all right. 'I like it when she smiles.' Kenshin shook the thought out before any other "thoughts" pop out. They shook hands as the bell rang. Misao caught up with them and was still shocked from the fight.

"Wow Kaoru! That was amazing." She saw Kenshin next to her. "Oh sorry Himura-san, didn't see you there. Well you were great. To Chem. we go!" Misao ran in front of them giving them "alone" time, but it didn't last very long when Kenshin's friends popped out of nowhere.

"Kenshin! That was so cool!" Sanosuke yelled.

"Yes indeed, but I could keep up with him." Soujiro smiled at them. Kaoru noticed a third character. It was Aoshi Shinomori. She smiled and signaled Misao to come over. When Misao noticed he was there, she melted.

"Um.... guys, this is Kaoru Kamiya. Kaoru, these are my friends: Sanosuke Sagara, Soujiro Seta, and Aoshi Shinomori." Kaoru politely bowed at them.

"Pleasure to meet you."

"Hey missy, you were pretty good out there also. You do know Kenshin has a girlfriend, right?" Kaoru blushed a really dark shade of red. Kenshin noticed this and glared at Sanosuke.

"Yes Sano, she knows. Now if you don't mind, we have to get to Chem." Kaoru walked off with Kenshin as Sano and Soujiro chuckled. Aoshi just had a smirk on his face; I guess he tends to stay calm more than laughing his pants off.

Chemistry

Kaoru, Kenshin, and Misao entered the class together, each taking a seat on the same lab table. Sanosuke eventually arrived and took a seat in front of Kenshin. Sanosuke leaned over to Kenshin obviously showing Kaoru that this was a private conversation, but Misao listened in.

"Kenshin, you like her huh?" Sanosuke whispered.

"No! We're just friends," Kenshin denied.

Misao cleared her throat to get into the conversation. "Yeah, close friends. What do you see in Tomoe? I heard she treats you like crap." That left Kenshin silent for a while. Sanosuke laughed.

"Good point Makimachi." Kaoru got annoyed and tried to listen in, but their conversation had ended as Anji entered the classroom.

"And I see you guys are already sitting with your partners. I will leave you to do your interviewing for the rest of the period, but before I do that we need to do roll call." Everyone stood up to their name and sat back down. Eventually the class became filled with conversation as partners interviewed each other. Kenshin though, was thinking about Misao's remark about Tomoe. It was true that she wasn't really treating him.... Well, but there were times when she was nice to him, but still. 'What do I see in her?'

"Kenshin! Pay attention!" Kenshin turned to see Kaoru all pissed. 'Whoops.'

"Oro?" Kenshin tilted his head looking absentminded and clueless. 'Oh my gosh, that is so cute! Shut up Kaoru! Stop thinking like that!' Kaoru calmed down to see Kenshin starring at her ready for whatever they were doing. They really had nothing to do since they still had four more days and they were going to continue at Kenshin's house. So they sat there the rest of the period having small conversations about what they had in common. Misao and Sanosuke smiled, as they knew they were perfect for each other. The bell rang and out they went.

Lunch

Kenshin made his way through to crowd to meet Tomoe, while Kaoru just followed Misao. Kenshin now doubted himself about his relationship with Tomoe. Tomoe knew sooner or later that she would get caught, but she just couldn't tell him. Then she noticed Kenshin looking at something other than her or his lunch.... Kaoru. She had to tell him now. "Kenshin...."

Kenshin turned back and looked at Tomoe. "Tomoe, I have something to tell you, but maybe now's not the right time."

"Yes it is," Tomoe quickly responded.

"It is?" asked Kenshin

"Yes. What did you want to tell me? Because I might have something to tell you too."

"Well, it's just that...." Kenshin was drifting off again. Tomoe cleared her throat and Kenshin looked back at her.

"What is it Kenshin?"

"It's that we're seeming to be drifting apart. We're not even as close as we were yesturday. I don't love you as much anymore, now. You just seem like a good friend or a sister that I never had. I'm sorry Tomoe, but I think we should.... you know."

"GREAT! I mean.... oh no!"

"Why did you say this was a good thing?"

"Nothing, it was nothing."

"You're happy about it, I know it. I've known you long enough for me to know when you're lying."

"No it's nothing, really."

"You're still lying Tomoe, I know it."

"Ok fine! I've been cheating on you! OK? Happy? I've been cheating on you for a year already!" Everyone in the lunchroom suddenly gasped in unison. They all looked at who had been screaming and their eyes seemed to land on Tomoe. Kaoru looked back and saw Tomoe yelling at Kenshin. She covered her mouth with her hand in shock. Eventually everyone went back to their own conversations as the room began to become loud again. Kenshin lowered his head, he could feel tears coming but he couldn't cry here at school.

"I can't believe you would do such a thing. How could you cheat on me? After how long I've known you, how could I even call you as a good friend now?"

"You're poor ok? I can't court a guy that's like how many ranks lower than I am financial wise. That would totally ruin my reputation and my family's." Kenshin heard no guilt in those words. Kenshin couldn't hold it in much longer; he got out of his seat and started running out toward the hallway. Kaoru suddenly felt to urge to comfort him, but she couldn't ditch her friends for I guy she secretly likes.

"Um, guys. I mean girls, I have to go to the restroom."

"But you barely drank anything. There's something suspicious going on...."

"Oh no, it just that you haven't seen how much I drank at home." Kaoru winked and walked off, exiting the lunchroom.

"Why did she wink?" asked Tsubame.

"It's the obvious. She wants to comfort Kenshin. Now that she knows he's single, she's probably going to go for it." Megumi winked and the group of girls laughed.

Outside, Kenshin was leaning on the lockers feeling bad about himself and stupid. 'How couldn't I have known? It was so obvious! How could I be so dumb?' Kenshin was lightly slamming his head on the lockers as Kaoru appeared in the hallway. Kenshin saw Kaoru come out and stare at him. He began blushing and leaning on the lockers again, brushing a lock of his red hair behind his ear. "Kenshin? Are you ok?"

"Yes Kaoru, sorry for making you worried." That's when it hit him. 'She's the one. She the one that will fill that dent in my life.' Indeed she was her that he would love and be with forever. 'But how will I show my affections to her? She's just like Tomoe, rich, too rich. But she's different from Tomoe....' Kenshin stared at her while Kaoru was waiting for an answer. She crossed her arms, "Kenshin! Are you ok?"

Kenshin snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh yeah, Kaoru. Sorry, thanks for caring."

"Yes, and you should put yourself back together. I know you're stronger than that. I've only known you for only three days, but somehow I know you're stronger than that and you can forget about her." Kaoru smiled at him, "That's the past now Kenshin." Kenshin was suddenly cheered up by her smile. He couldn't resist. He walked up right in front of Kaoru and gave her a warm embrace. Kaoru was shocked, no more than shocked. Well I can't find that word right now, but she was shocked. Kenshin was hugging Kaoru. (AN: Gasp indeed) She had been in that position when she then felt her shoulder getting wet. 'Is he crying?' She tilted her head a little so that she could see a glimpse of his head. Yup, indeed he was crying, if not, sobbing. It was a painful sight, but he had every right to cry.

Kenshin eventually stopped crying and pushed Kaoru slowly away. "Thanks for being there." He just couldn't tell her that indeed he liked her, even love her. (AN: You just can't wait till they're together? I mean all the other fanfics seem to take forever just to get two people that love each other together!) Kaoru gave him a warm smile once again as the bell rang for everyone to go to their next class. People rushed out of the lunchroom, not noticing Kenshin and Kaoru close to each other. Misao and her posse eventually came along and spotted their friend in the "close" situation. Megumi was the one to clear her throat first.

"Um.... Kaoru, don't you have Parenting with him? Why don't you two go, you're going to be late." The girls giggled and spread off to their classes. Kenshin and Kaoru made their way down the hallway into their Parenting class. During walking in the hallway, Kaoru felt something soft and comforting grasping her hand. She took a quick glance at her hand, but saw nothing. 'Doe! Glanced at the wrong hand.' Kaoru mentally smacked herself on the forehead. After recovering from such a brutal blow from herself, she looked at her other hand and followed the arm to see Kenshin blushing. Now Kaoru was definitely confused. Ok first he's some friendly guy that she sees around school, she started to like him herself, but then found out he was taken. Then he starts to stop loving that person and learns that she has been cheating on him. He starts crying on her and now he likes her? Boy is that confusing and scary.

Right when they were about to reach class, Enishi was right ahead of them. "Well, well, what do we have here? A player and the girl that turned down the offer from the most sexiest, richest, and popular guy around. I'm going to make you pay girl! No one turns down my offers!" Kenshin popped up in front of Kaoru as Enishi walked towards her.

Kenshin spread his arms out and looked back at Kaoru. "Stay back Kaoru, I'll protect you no matter what." Kaoru felt herself grow warm. He looked back at Enishi. "Stay away, you have no right to hurt this girl."

"And what's this? The little poor boy protecting this garbage?" Kaoru curled her hand into a fist. 'Who did he think he was.... well apparently the richest kid in school.' "You want to start something nerd!" Something bad was going to happen....

AN: Oh joy! Second chappy done! Now for third. Sorry if there wasn't much comedy, but there were quite a few fights - I guess that's good enough for me. Sorry about being late on updating, but let's just say I was forming storms in my brain and it hurt.... a lot. Plus, I was out of corny jokes for people to laugh at. Sorry about that pplz! R&R! Love the reviews I got and the reviews I haven't got. And I won't make that Kagome and Kaoru mistake again, I hope.

Mistress of time: Indeed I did write it all wrong with the Kagome thingy and stuff, but I fixed it when I noticed it myself, sorry for doing that.

Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki: Well JAY! I shall keep it up and I will forget your little message thanks to that door I never expected in my house. (and I've been living in it for ten years!)

I'LL TRY TO UPDATE SOONER! CYA PPLZ! ::waves while dancing to 1/2::
