PLEASE READ AUTHOR'S NOTE OR ELSE I JUST MIGHT EAT YOU! ^-^'
[AN: Well, here's chapter seven. Yeah, I'm not dead yet. Is everyone staring at me again?! Oh I see how it is… Anyways, I'm super duper really sorry people, I was writing my fanfic, and then when I tried opening it again, it got corrupted. That really sucks seeming I was about to finish the chapter. Now I had to start all over from scratch trying to remember what happened. At least I remember my disclaimer because that was the last thing I did. ^-^' So I'm really sorry and please enjoy while you can because I'm probably going to trip over a writer's rock… I mean block and lay there unconscious for several weeks. XD And yes I changed the name of the story because the other one sounded really mushy and crappy so I changed it, I (in my own faithful opinion) think this new title is pretty un-lame.]
Disclaimer: …………….huh? We're already writing the disclaimer?! Really?! Oh my gosh! I should fix my hair… hey wait! You people don't even see me anyways, and I comb don't my hair, so what the heck XD Anyways… ::points to random reader:: Hey you! Yeah you! Are you going to sue me or not? Because if you do, I get to sue you back for suing me since I don't own Rurouni Kenshin. MUHAHAHAHA! More money for me!
Chapter 7
"Hey! There's nothing inside here Yutarou!" yelled Yahiko.
"What?! There's supposed to be a giganto ring that costs…ten… thousand… dollars…?" (AN: Ok, I'm going to be making up words as I go, but… at least they work right? ^-^;) Yutaro trailed off. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Hm… what do you think?! I mean, dude! You practically used up a whole lot of money to buy a humungous ring, which was quite pointless, and for who? Plus, it's not even in the stinking box!" yelled Yahiko.
"Calm down Yahiko-chan." Just guess who said that.
"Stop calling my name with the chan thing! I'm not that little." Yahiko was definitely pissed, either because he knew Yutarou was trying to win Tsubame's heart, or that Tsubame always called him little. Either way, he was still pissed.
"Anyways, we have to find that ring whoever it's for." Tsubame curled her hand into a fist and gave Yutaro and Yahiko a look of determination. Yutaro's eyebrows started twitching. 'Does she have to be this dense? It's obvious who it's for. No matter, she'll still be mine! MUHAHAHAHA! Anyways…'
"I'm going to sue that company because of this lame problem!" exclaimed Yutaro. He felt proud that he had more than enough money to sue anybody and still live rich. Yup, he was one of those 'HAHA! I can buy you!' kind of kid.
"I don't think suing people without evidence is very reasonable Yutaro-chan," Tsubame told Yutaro.
Yutaro leaned closer to Yahiko's ear and whispered, "Ha, she called my name with that chan ending. Isn't that so cute?"
"::cough:: Loser! ::cough::"
"What was that Yahiko-CHAN?!" yelled Yutaro.
"SHUT UP!" Yahiko and Yutaro quickly stopped and starred at Tsubame. (AN: Yeah, Tsubame isn't really your first choice for a person yelling eh?) "Anyways, let's just find the ring or enough evidence to solve this missing ring thing. Sure would've liked to see it though…"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
(AN: Sorry people I totally forgot about Sanosuke's and Megumi's date thing, so bare with me oh so great readers ::bows::.)
"Hey Kitsune, how about that date?" asked Sano who just seemed to be following Megumi everywhere nowadays. She had repeated made fake excuses for not going on that date, but man was "roosterhead" desperate. Well, not desperate, but somewhere along those lines.
"Um… Oh sorry roosterhead, I…" Megumi trailed off thinking. 'Come on Megumi, think of a good excuse, think of a good excuse!' "Ah yes! I have to take out my tonsils!" 'Hey that wasn't that bad of an excuse…'
"No you don't, you had your tonsils taken out in the second grade! No more excuses, either you're coming or you don't go on a date with me at all!"
"Someone has an obsession," she said under her breath, then thought over what he had just said. "Hm… I think I'll have to go with the latter then."
"No wait! I didn't mean it that way… I meant… Heck! Come on! You promised me… kinda… actually did you?"
"I don't know, but… FINE! I'll go, but only to stop you from bugging me about it." She walked away to get to her purple and blue RSX and drove off as quickly as possible.
Sanosuke just stood there for quite a while letting the wind blow his hair making it slightly tilted than usual. (AN: I can so picture that… ^-^) Then out of nowhere he jumped up and landed in his victory stance with the victory sign on his hand. "YES! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" Too bad he didn't notice all the people starring at him because he'd be the most embarrassed person on the campus… for that day. He ran circles around the drop off and pick up area, which looked quite hilarious… if you were the spectators. Sanosuke almost got ran over, but he still would've survived because he couldn't miss this date. (AN: And most likely because of those super hard abs… ::shudder:: how is it even possible? ::sigh:: oh well, it's Sanosuke!) Though Sanosuke forgot one detail, he didn't know when the date was.
Sanosuke probably burnt some of the rubber on his shoe while sliding to a stop. 'Aw crap! If I don't know what day the date is… what kind of date would it be?' He did the only thing a desperate person would do in his situation. (AN: Kids don't do this at home.) He chased after the car. Yeah, he was a pretty good runner, but catching up to a RSX was nuts. It was probably miles and miles away from him, in fact it was. 'This really sucks… but for Megumi, I HOPE this is worth it.' Luckily he knew exactly where Megumi lived. Yes, exactly what you thought, obsession.
Yup, so he ran… and ran… and ran… and ran… and ran… (AN: I hope you get the picture by now.) and he ran, until he arrived at Megumi's front door where he saw her RSX parked in front. 'Dude, track really helps. Anyways…' He jumped up over the various amount of stairs (AN: Well, there were only four steps, but it takes great effort… ^-^') and reached the front door. Yup, the house was pretty big though with three stories, what seemed like a huge chandelier behind the window, servants running up and down the stairs inside the house, and one huge looking white garage door.
When he gathered enough courage, Sanosuke rang the bell. A tall man, wearing what all doctor's wear (white), opened up and Sano just happened to know him quite well.
"Whoa! Hey Doc! What are you doing here?! Wait… let me guess. Hm… since you're Dr. Takani… that must mean… you're Megumi's uncle!" Sanosuke held up his V-for-Victory sign.
"Hey roosterhead, no actually, this is MY house and Megumi is MY daughter. So, what brings you to my humble living quarters?" asked Mr. Takani.
"I was wondering if I would talk to Megumi about something," Sanosuke replied quickly. Yes, he was definitely desperate. Oh well, not our problem eh? Anyways, Mr. Takani gave him a suspicious look.
"Why exactly do you want to see Megumi? Hm… better yet, who are you to her?" Sanosuke smirked. 'This is a perfect time to "meet her parents," hehe…'
"I'm her b…" He was cut off quickly when Megumi was found right behind her father. 'Aiy yah… is that a vein popping out? Crap!' Sanosuke was thinking about running again, but he was tired and Megumi would've chased him down anyway.
"He's my friend. We're working on a project together." Megumi glared at her father and Sanosuke.
"Is that so?" asked Mr. Takani. Man, you can just hear the sarcasm. It was too obvious not to notice…
"DAD!" Megumi chased him around the house while another tall woman came into the picture. 'I'm assuming it's Megumi's mom…'
"Hello there, I'm Megumi's mom." Sanosuke chuckled… in his head. 'I knew it.' Megumi popped out of nowhere behind her mom just then.
"Don't even try it mom," she said with a lot of 'I'm going to kill you if you ask' in it.
"Don't worry, I was just going to ask him if he wanted to come in for a while." Mrs. Takani's smile… wasn't very… normal? Well, you could say she was one of those people who would NEVER, and when I say NEVER, I mean NEVER get sad and just continue smiling. (AN: You know, like Soujiro? Probably just worse.)
"Sure, I'd like to come in!" Sanosuke gave his most polite bow and smiled.
"No he doesn't, just look at him, he dislikes the house already!" Megumi was going ballistic trying to get Sanosuke to go away. Hm… didn't really work, did it?
"Oh don't worry Megumi, he'll love it here, he might not even want to leave." Megumi's parents smiled at each other, while Megumi bonked her head on the wall several times trying to wake up from a horrible nightmare, and Sanosuke just stood on the porch, confused, while enjoying it at the same time. 'I guess I can get inside now.' Sanosuke stepped inside and was guided to the living room where he'd really "meet the parents" of Megumi. It wasn't a very good idea, but… too late now. 'If this counted as the date, I'd kill myself…' thought Megumi.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
(AN: Yeah, don't worry about the S/M thing, it'll all come together soon young grasshoppers and tadpoles, patience. ^-^)
Well, it was lunch time. You know, when people eat their lunch with their mouths and chew and all that other stuff you do when you're hungry. Speaking of hungry, Kaoru was REALLY hungry. She had to stay behind in class to finish some work because of her stupid Chemistry teacher, Anji, kept her behind. That raw squid was looking really good right about then. Luckily Misao was with her to keep her company, while Kaoru dissected the squid. (AN: LOL I tried that, it was pretty fun, and I got to write my name with the ink in the squid.) When Kaoru finished, Misao totally ditched her because she was really hungry too and dashed out without a trace.
Kaoru sighed to herself and walked out into the hallway alone. Her stomach was making too much noise for comfort and she really needed to buy some of that really tasty and greasy looking lunch food from the school.
'Footsteps…' Footsteps indeed she heard. Kaoru turned back but only saw a guy flirting with more girls than he could probably handle. 'Hm… couldn't have been him… or them surrounding him, because that'd be pretty weird…' She shrugged off the thought and continued walking.
Footsteps again… Kaoru felt a hand cover her mouth as she was pulled into what seemed to be a closet and into the darkness. [Insert dramatic effect here] (AN: Well oh so important readers, add your dramatic effect, it helps… kinda ^-^' Anyways, gasp, scream, cry, anything, but at least try. I did and I felt the full effect of the story. :: notice the great amount of sarcasm:: XD)
Anyways, on with the story. So, Kaoru is now in a closet like room with no lights and she was completely famished. She groped around finding something to hold on to. Luckily, she found something that felt like a broom. 'Good enough substitute for a bokken right?' Trying to look in the dark wasn't a great idea though… neither was sniffing. 'What's that smell, cologne? Ugh, I hate cologne…' (AN: And I hate perfume! Very nauseating… -_-' Well, sorry for those who like perfume, but I hate it. Sue me, well actually don't, flames are better, kinda… forget it.)
"Hello Kaoru." Now that voice was oh too familiar and very hated.
"Come out Enishi, let's get this over with so I can eat. I'm really hungry."
"Is that how you're going to treat your going-to-be boyfriend?" Enishi pulled a chain that turned on the lights.
With her quick reflexes, Kaoru shielded her eyes from the light. "What do you want Enishi, and make it quick."
"All I want is another chance with you." He smirked, which was the smirk he used on all the girls he tried to seduce. 'Well, that gay face will never work on my superior beauty!' thought Kaoru in triumphant. Anyways, Enishi drew out a bokken, though it was completely straight unlike the regular curved ones. 'Must be a different style. Nothing I can't handle right? I mean, this guy's a newbie!'
"Bring it Enishi!" Kaoru charged at him…
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, Kenshin was worried since Kaoru wasn't usually late judging by her daily appetite. 'I don't know, maybe I should ask Misao where she is.'
"Hey Makimachi-san! Where's Kaoru?" yelled Kenshin.
"Um… she should be here by now, though I kinda ditched her back there, but I was hungry. Maybe she's still in the hallway. I'm done with my lunch, let's go find her."
"Alright…" replied the redhead. They ran out of the lunchroom and into the hallway.
Just then, some screams were heard. Kenshin and Misao looked at each other and dashed in the screams direction. It wasn't Kaoru screaming, but other students screaming because of the load thumps coming from the closet door. "Hey Misao, what do you think is going on in there?"
"You're asking me?" Misao gave him the 'what the heck are you doing asking me for, I just as dumb as you!' look.
BAM!
Kenshin quickly turned his head toward the closet door and found a broomstick handle sticking out of it. 'What the heck is that doing there?!'
"KYA!" screamed a very familiar voice that belonged to the one Kenshin cared for. After hearing that battle cry, Kenshin dashed to the handle and was just about to open the door when the door came falling down and out came none other than Enishi.
"In your face Enishi! Never mess with Kamiya Kaoru when she is extremely hungry!" Kaoru had her sleeves rolled up and a few hairs sticking up. She stomped her way out and just so seemed to step on the fallen door.
"ORO…"
"Eh?" Kaoru jumped off the door and hoisted it up. 'Oh my gosh…' Yup, she found a swirly eyed Kenshin underneath the door and totally flattened. "Sorry Kenshin! I didn't know you were behind the door." Kaoru offered and hand and Kenshin gladly took it and was lifted up from the floor. Kenshin quickly dusted off his clothes and straightened his hair.
"Um… Kaoru, did you really have to kick that door so hard?"
"That pervert was keeping me from my lunch! What do you expect to do when you're really hungry and locked in a closet with some rich freak?!" Kaoru's face was red with rage, not a good sign for Kenshin. 'Ok Kenshin, don't get her mad, it must be THAT time… not a good time to get her mad.'
You know what could get worse? The bell rang. "WHAT?! And I didn't even get to eat my lunch! Gr…"
'Crap, she's getting even angrier. What should I do? Wait a second… I got some lunch left! Kenshin, you're so smart.' Kenshin opened his backpack and grabbed something that looked like a sandwich. Better yet, it was a croissant sandwich, well… half of it, with turkey… lettuce… avocado… mayonnaise… (Author is now fantasizing, don't bother him… OK I'm done fantasizing! On with the story!) Well, anyways, let's just say the sandwich was going to be really good, since Kenshin did make it himself.
"Hey Kaoru, if you're that hungry, why don't you eat your lunch?" Not a very good question to ask during that time. Kaoru gave him 'Why do you think?' glares that she was quite good at. Kenshin backed away a few steps to dodge any attack attempts from Kaoru, but enough to keep her from assuming Kenshin was trying to run away.
"Do I look like I have a lunch? Do I even look like the person to make a lunch?" Kaoru was now on the tips of her toes, towering over Kenshin as he backed away. Several veins could be seen as one by one popped out of her forehead.
"Um… would you like some of my sandwich? I'm not hungry anymore so you can have it, that is, if you want it." Kenshin brought the sandwich he was holding with his right hand. Kaoru snatched it out of his hand and thanked him quickly. There was a slight blush, but Kaoru turned away so that Kenshin couldn't be sure if she really was blushing.
Kaoru opened the zip-lock bag and shoved the sandwich down her throat. When she was finally content with her meal, Kaoru burped. "Ah, that was so refreshing. Alright Kenshin, we got to get to our next class! Come on!" Kaoru grabbed the back of Kenshin's collar and dragged him towards Parenting. (AN: Ok, so I did kinda take that Parenting idea from Chiki, but I'm sorry, I was totally fresh out of ideas, but don't worry people, there will be nothing important about that class anymore, so just forget about it! Sorry! Bare with me people! ^-^')
The rest of the day went by quite slowly as Parenting was as boring as ever. Their baby projects had finished a while ago, so there was nothing left decent to do. Easy A's if you ask me. Algebra was just plain evil word problems that had just about nothing to do with math. The author of the book probably got bored of the word problems himself. Even their teacher found it quite hard to figure out the problems (AN: What problems? XD) so he just told everybody there was no homework until he found out the answers to the word problems.
Kaoru and Kenshin walked towards the white Celica right after school, but Kenshin was lagging behind by a few feet. "Kenshin, what's wrong?"
"Um… is it ok if I walk home today? I just want to go see my old house and how it's looking now ok? I don't know why, but I just want to go check it out… After seeing it, I'll come directly home alright?
"Kenshin, are you sure?" Kaoru turned on the ignition and drove towards Kenshin then made a nice U-turn by drifting. The smoke from her perfect drift was spluttered all over a guy leaning on his white Toyota Sprinter Trueno. The guy coughed and quickly jumped into his car, then rolled up the windows.
"Um… yeah, I'm sure." Kenshin was about to laugh at the guy with the Sprinter, but decided not to incase he got run over. Those things were quite fast if you put in the right stuff.
"Ok then, see you later Kenshin!" Kaoru stomped on the pedal and was off, leaving tire marks and a huge puff of smoke. Just for the fun of it, Kenshin held his breath and ran through the smoke, thinking that there would be a hole the shape of his body, but… didn't seem to work. Kenshin shrugged and continued his way towards his new home. He didn't know why he wanted to go, I guess he just wanted to have some time to think for himself, and having the excuse of walking home was just perfect.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, walking back to his old home didn't take as long as he thought, since he was "thoughting" something else on the way there. (AN: Yes, another made up word, but it works… kinda ^-^') Nothing but flashbacks went through Kenshin's head as he continued to walk. How he first met Kaoru, going to school with her, interviewing her, breaking up with Tomoe, and just about everything else that went on so far involving Kaoru. She brightened up his life a lot.
Upon arriving at his old house, well, he noticed it wasn't too old anymore. It was way larger than he had expected it. 'Seems like someone already remodeled it. Hm… I hate curiosity!' The urge of seeing who lived there was too great for Kenshin to handle. A second later, he found himself at the front door and ringing the door bell. While waiting, Kenshin took the time to notice all the changes. Well, it was bigger, a lot bigger to be exact. It was AT LEAST three stories. Kenshin wasn't so sure though since the sun was in his eyes when he looked up. What seemed to be the dojo was still there, but windows were added and so was furniture. It seemed more like a dance floor for things like ballroom dancing and stuff. The color of the huge house was now peach colored and none of the walls were torn up.
The door finally opened. And you know what the crappy thing is? The person wasn't exactly who Kenshin was expecting to see. It was like that person was trying to wreck up his life or something. 'This is crap, I'm going to need a distraction to run away though…' Kenshin pointed behind the person and yelled, "HEY A DISTRACTION!" Kenshin was just about to run, but the person at the door stopped him. (AN: Aren't you so desperate to know who this "person at the door" is right about now?)
"Kenshin! Stop right there! Why don't you come in for a while? I haven't talked to you for the longest time!" The person clapped her hands together in joy.
Good thing Kenshin's long hair was covering the veins popping out of his forehead, but his facial expression just didn't cut it. 'Boy I'd like to shove one of my pencils up her…"
"Kenshin! Come on! It won't be that bad." Well, by this time you probably are ripping your hair out thinking about who this evil person may be. Well, first of all, it's a her, and she's evil, so who else could she be? Tomoe! You people are so smart. Well, on with this great story of mine! (AN: Notice my sarcasm…) A few scabs were still on her face, but it was resistible to laugh. Anyways, Kenshin went in, but he knew he would regret it later. Kenshin shifted to his observation mode and devoured every different item from his old house into his mind. Well, there were a lot of things rich people would buy like pottery, paintings, artifacts, really expensive family heirlooms, and a really nice entertainment system. But the worst change of all was having his "used-to-be" best friend and girlfriend together, living in his "used-to-be" house. 'Gosh this sucks! I want to leave…'
"Kenshin! Old buddy! I've wanted to talk to you again for the longest time!" Akira popped up behind them somehow and DUDE was that a QUEER greeting.
"Um… That's ok Akira. I just wanted to see how my new home was like now. I got to get HOME." Kenshin started walking towards the door, his eyebrows twitching with anger. 'When did I start twitching my eyebrow? Did I get it from Kaoru? (Mental sigh!)'
"Oh I see, well do you like what we've done with it? Tomoe and I are going to live in it for the rest of our lives! Isn't that great?!" He was acting like a giddy little girl who had just got Barbie's RV play set.
"You know what Akira?" Kenshin smiled and turned grabbing a small painting on the wall. "How much does this cost?"
"Um… around twenty dollars?"
"Good." Kenshin ran up with his GOD-LIKE SPEED and smashed the picture through his head. Then he took out his wallet and threw a twenty at him. "It was worth every cent."
"Kenshin! How could you do such a thing?" Tomoe dashed to Akira's side immediately.
Kenshin stuffed his hands in his pocket and turned. "Sue me then." He left and returned home feeling quite proud of himself. 'Aw crap! What if they do sue me?'
(AN: Yes, I'm celebrating as I write this. AKIRA BASHING! How fun… ^-^)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, they didn't sue him though. Seeming you could sue people for just about anything, Akira's bump on his head healed very quickly so they couldn't have enough evidence. Sucks for him, but who cares right?
End of First Quarter Exams were arriving and things got a little hectic in Kaoru's home. Papers on the floor, constant use of grounded coffee beans, and music playing at 3 AM in the morning weren't considered clean and healthy to Mr. Kamiya and Hiko.
"That's it! I can't take it anymore! I need my sleep you know!" cried Hiko. He jumped out of his bed and stomped his way towards Kenshin's room. When he arrived, he found Kenshin's room's lights off and heard slow breathing. 'Oh…I knew he was sleeping ALL the time,' Hiko persuaded himself. He closed the door and made his way back to his room. As he turned a corner into the hallway, he bumped into somebody. With quick reactions, Hiko jumped the person. "Who are you?! If you're a solicitor, GET OUT! Do you know what time it is?"
"WHOA! Hiko, it's just me!"
Hiko turned on the lights and found Mr. Kamiya on the floor.
"Whoops…" Hiko scratched the back of his head thinking of a lame excuse for running into him.
"Checking on Kenshin? Those exams are practically killing them." Mr. Kamiya shook his head feeling sorry for them.
"Yeah, what are you doing this late at night?" Hiko asked as he crossed his arms.
"Well, I was just about to check on Kaoru myself. Would you like to join me?" Mr. Kamiya looked over to Kaoru's room and back at Hiko.
"Sure, it wouldn't hurt. You don't mind if I get a really early morning snack on the way back right?"
Well, little did they know, it would hurt… literally. But they didn't know that yet so both of them arrived at Kaoru's door. Hearing light sounds of the computer keyboard. Mr. Kamiya was the first to attempt opening the door. Slowly, parts of Kaoru's room were seen, until Kaoru herself was in sight at her desk typing away on her laptop.
"GET OUT!" screamed Kaoru as a coffee mug came flying out in Mr. Kamiya's direction. Luckily, he ducked, but unluckily, Hiko was hit directly at his forehead. The impact caused a "kling" sound and a red mark imprinted on Hiko's forehead. Don't forget about the falling on the floor part though.
"Hm… that went well. I guess she's ok, don't you think Hiko-san?" Mr. Kamiya smiled at him and left.
"Uhg…"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Whew, exams were a killer eh?" Kaoru was walking down the hall with Kenshin and Misao.
"For sure… I'm just glad it's over." Misao seemed so happy; she did a cartwheel to a back flip and landed lightly. Being on the gymnastics team and going through ninja training with her grandpa wasn't for nothing you know.
"Don't we get a week off after that?" Yup, Kenshin was also relieved from all those stressful nights, but Kaoru was the most relieved after all those late nights and throwing low fat mocha with milk bottles made by Starbucks on the floor. It wasn't a pretty sight, but what's done is done right?
"Hey! Why don't I have a party?! Just to celebrate the end of the tests? It would be so much fun!" Kaoru suggested.
"Oh joy! A party! So who are we going to invite? What food should we bring? Where is it going to be? When is it? Um… is there anything else I should ask?" Misao was throwing all the necessary questions she could at Kaoru and the only thing it did to Kaoru was get her pissed.
"SHUT UP MISAO!" Everyone in the hallway came to a halt. All of them staring at Kaoru didn't help her anger either. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" That made everybody run away in 5 seconds flat. "There, now that's better right?" Kaoru looked back at Misao, but Misao wasn't where she was standing, but trying to hide between the lockers and the wall. "Misao? What are you doing over there?"
"What do you think? Hiding from you of course! You're nuts when you're mad!" you could see her shivering with fright for a while until she calmed down… a little.
"Am I that scary?" Kaoru turned to face the oblivious looking Kenshin. "Kenshin?"
"Um… no?" Kenshin backed away a few steps incase he said the wrong thing.
"Yeah right! Stop lying Kenshin! You know she gets so mad, you can see some of her hair rise! Super Saiyan man!" Misao didn't intend that to be an insult, but to Kaoru… oh boy…
"Misao… you're so dead, but I'm going to have to bring you back from the dead to make you help with the party." That smirk filled entirely with evil… wasn't a good sign for Misao. "I'll give you one minute…" Misao dashed as quickly as she could, "Or not…" Kaoru was right behind her, running as fast as she could. Misao was a fast runner indeed, but when Kaoru's mad, anything's possible. She tackled Misao and they both rolled on the floor giggling.
Meanwhile, Kenshin was still clueless and just staring at the two giggling girls where one of them was just about to kill the other. He smacked his forehead. 'I'll never understand women…'
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
WELL, that took a while didn't it? Hm… anyways, that's chapter 7 and I hope you enjoy it. I am SO SORRY for not updating quickly as I promised, but I've been stuck with a maximum amount of homework, constant DDR playing (Freckles is quite fun on DDR but it could be harder if it was the original version in Japanese from the show), more than necessary Gunbound playing (just started and very addicted), making a few graphics, and reading other fanfics. Also how this chapter's file was corrupted once, so I had to start all over from scratch, but I think this version was better than the previous one. Well at least my friend isn't strangling me right now so I shall answer your very important reviews…
tikigurl293: yes it was a slight copy of WTWRAY, but just the parenting part and the baby thing. But that's just about it. Sorry if you thought it made the story lame, but I was stuck then.
DragonSorceress22: well he didn't kill me ^-^' I just told him I was on the verge of Futai no Kiwami-ing my writer's brick… I mean block. XD
Jellybob 15: yes, Kaoru owns!
battousia-crazy64: iono how the beginning was better, but oh well. Maybe I should get some lame jokes again, or should I go lamer? XP
KeNsHiN: updated sooner indeed XP what was it this time? Three months? LOL, but I was "distracted." Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
DrunkByTea: shut up nelson! XP lol jk, but thanks for your unworthy review though!
Fireruby: the god bless thing doesn't really help seeming I'm not a religious person, but thanks anyways. Well, thanks for your review.
Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki1: LOL sorry jay, but couldn't find the time to update you I-do-my-homework-very-fast-so-that-other-people-would-think-I'm-smart-and-all-the-girls-will-be-all-up-ons person. ^-^'
Well, I think that's about it who had DECENT reviews to answer… ANYWAYS, I'll TRY updating sooner then usual and enjoy!
°Funaru Kutsuteru° d=(^-^)=b
[AN: Well, here's chapter seven. Yeah, I'm not dead yet. Is everyone staring at me again?! Oh I see how it is… Anyways, I'm super duper really sorry people, I was writing my fanfic, and then when I tried opening it again, it got corrupted. That really sucks seeming I was about to finish the chapter. Now I had to start all over from scratch trying to remember what happened. At least I remember my disclaimer because that was the last thing I did. ^-^' So I'm really sorry and please enjoy while you can because I'm probably going to trip over a writer's rock… I mean block and lay there unconscious for several weeks. XD And yes I changed the name of the story because the other one sounded really mushy and crappy so I changed it, I (in my own faithful opinion) think this new title is pretty un-lame.]
Disclaimer: …………….huh? We're already writing the disclaimer?! Really?! Oh my gosh! I should fix my hair… hey wait! You people don't even see me anyways, and I comb don't my hair, so what the heck XD Anyways… ::points to random reader:: Hey you! Yeah you! Are you going to sue me or not? Because if you do, I get to sue you back for suing me since I don't own Rurouni Kenshin. MUHAHAHAHA! More money for me!
Chapter 7
"Hey! There's nothing inside here Yutarou!" yelled Yahiko.
"What?! There's supposed to be a giganto ring that costs…ten… thousand… dollars…?" (AN: Ok, I'm going to be making up words as I go, but… at least they work right? ^-^;) Yutaro trailed off. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Hm… what do you think?! I mean, dude! You practically used up a whole lot of money to buy a humungous ring, which was quite pointless, and for who? Plus, it's not even in the stinking box!" yelled Yahiko.
"Calm down Yahiko-chan." Just guess who said that.
"Stop calling my name with the chan thing! I'm not that little." Yahiko was definitely pissed, either because he knew Yutarou was trying to win Tsubame's heart, or that Tsubame always called him little. Either way, he was still pissed.
"Anyways, we have to find that ring whoever it's for." Tsubame curled her hand into a fist and gave Yutaro and Yahiko a look of determination. Yutaro's eyebrows started twitching. 'Does she have to be this dense? It's obvious who it's for. No matter, she'll still be mine! MUHAHAHAHA! Anyways…'
"I'm going to sue that company because of this lame problem!" exclaimed Yutaro. He felt proud that he had more than enough money to sue anybody and still live rich. Yup, he was one of those 'HAHA! I can buy you!' kind of kid.
"I don't think suing people without evidence is very reasonable Yutaro-chan," Tsubame told Yutaro.
Yutaro leaned closer to Yahiko's ear and whispered, "Ha, she called my name with that chan ending. Isn't that so cute?"
"::cough:: Loser! ::cough::"
"What was that Yahiko-CHAN?!" yelled Yutaro.
"SHUT UP!" Yahiko and Yutaro quickly stopped and starred at Tsubame. (AN: Yeah, Tsubame isn't really your first choice for a person yelling eh?) "Anyways, let's just find the ring or enough evidence to solve this missing ring thing. Sure would've liked to see it though…"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
(AN: Sorry people I totally forgot about Sanosuke's and Megumi's date thing, so bare with me oh so great readers ::bows::.)
"Hey Kitsune, how about that date?" asked Sano who just seemed to be following Megumi everywhere nowadays. She had repeated made fake excuses for not going on that date, but man was "roosterhead" desperate. Well, not desperate, but somewhere along those lines.
"Um… Oh sorry roosterhead, I…" Megumi trailed off thinking. 'Come on Megumi, think of a good excuse, think of a good excuse!' "Ah yes! I have to take out my tonsils!" 'Hey that wasn't that bad of an excuse…'
"No you don't, you had your tonsils taken out in the second grade! No more excuses, either you're coming or you don't go on a date with me at all!"
"Someone has an obsession," she said under her breath, then thought over what he had just said. "Hm… I think I'll have to go with the latter then."
"No wait! I didn't mean it that way… I meant… Heck! Come on! You promised me… kinda… actually did you?"
"I don't know, but… FINE! I'll go, but only to stop you from bugging me about it." She walked away to get to her purple and blue RSX and drove off as quickly as possible.
Sanosuke just stood there for quite a while letting the wind blow his hair making it slightly tilted than usual. (AN: I can so picture that… ^-^) Then out of nowhere he jumped up and landed in his victory stance with the victory sign on his hand. "YES! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!" Too bad he didn't notice all the people starring at him because he'd be the most embarrassed person on the campus… for that day. He ran circles around the drop off and pick up area, which looked quite hilarious… if you were the spectators. Sanosuke almost got ran over, but he still would've survived because he couldn't miss this date. (AN: And most likely because of those super hard abs… ::shudder:: how is it even possible? ::sigh:: oh well, it's Sanosuke!) Though Sanosuke forgot one detail, he didn't know when the date was.
Sanosuke probably burnt some of the rubber on his shoe while sliding to a stop. 'Aw crap! If I don't know what day the date is… what kind of date would it be?' He did the only thing a desperate person would do in his situation. (AN: Kids don't do this at home.) He chased after the car. Yeah, he was a pretty good runner, but catching up to a RSX was nuts. It was probably miles and miles away from him, in fact it was. 'This really sucks… but for Megumi, I HOPE this is worth it.' Luckily he knew exactly where Megumi lived. Yes, exactly what you thought, obsession.
Yup, so he ran… and ran… and ran… and ran… and ran… (AN: I hope you get the picture by now.) and he ran, until he arrived at Megumi's front door where he saw her RSX parked in front. 'Dude, track really helps. Anyways…' He jumped up over the various amount of stairs (AN: Well, there were only four steps, but it takes great effort… ^-^') and reached the front door. Yup, the house was pretty big though with three stories, what seemed like a huge chandelier behind the window, servants running up and down the stairs inside the house, and one huge looking white garage door.
When he gathered enough courage, Sanosuke rang the bell. A tall man, wearing what all doctor's wear (white), opened up and Sano just happened to know him quite well.
"Whoa! Hey Doc! What are you doing here?! Wait… let me guess. Hm… since you're Dr. Takani… that must mean… you're Megumi's uncle!" Sanosuke held up his V-for-Victory sign.
"Hey roosterhead, no actually, this is MY house and Megumi is MY daughter. So, what brings you to my humble living quarters?" asked Mr. Takani.
"I was wondering if I would talk to Megumi about something," Sanosuke replied quickly. Yes, he was definitely desperate. Oh well, not our problem eh? Anyways, Mr. Takani gave him a suspicious look.
"Why exactly do you want to see Megumi? Hm… better yet, who are you to her?" Sanosuke smirked. 'This is a perfect time to "meet her parents," hehe…'
"I'm her b…" He was cut off quickly when Megumi was found right behind her father. 'Aiy yah… is that a vein popping out? Crap!' Sanosuke was thinking about running again, but he was tired and Megumi would've chased him down anyway.
"He's my friend. We're working on a project together." Megumi glared at her father and Sanosuke.
"Is that so?" asked Mr. Takani. Man, you can just hear the sarcasm. It was too obvious not to notice…
"DAD!" Megumi chased him around the house while another tall woman came into the picture. 'I'm assuming it's Megumi's mom…'
"Hello there, I'm Megumi's mom." Sanosuke chuckled… in his head. 'I knew it.' Megumi popped out of nowhere behind her mom just then.
"Don't even try it mom," she said with a lot of 'I'm going to kill you if you ask' in it.
"Don't worry, I was just going to ask him if he wanted to come in for a while." Mrs. Takani's smile… wasn't very… normal? Well, you could say she was one of those people who would NEVER, and when I say NEVER, I mean NEVER get sad and just continue smiling. (AN: You know, like Soujiro? Probably just worse.)
"Sure, I'd like to come in!" Sanosuke gave his most polite bow and smiled.
"No he doesn't, just look at him, he dislikes the house already!" Megumi was going ballistic trying to get Sanosuke to go away. Hm… didn't really work, did it?
"Oh don't worry Megumi, he'll love it here, he might not even want to leave." Megumi's parents smiled at each other, while Megumi bonked her head on the wall several times trying to wake up from a horrible nightmare, and Sanosuke just stood on the porch, confused, while enjoying it at the same time. 'I guess I can get inside now.' Sanosuke stepped inside and was guided to the living room where he'd really "meet the parents" of Megumi. It wasn't a very good idea, but… too late now. 'If this counted as the date, I'd kill myself…' thought Megumi.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
(AN: Yeah, don't worry about the S/M thing, it'll all come together soon young grasshoppers and tadpoles, patience. ^-^)
Well, it was lunch time. You know, when people eat their lunch with their mouths and chew and all that other stuff you do when you're hungry. Speaking of hungry, Kaoru was REALLY hungry. She had to stay behind in class to finish some work because of her stupid Chemistry teacher, Anji, kept her behind. That raw squid was looking really good right about then. Luckily Misao was with her to keep her company, while Kaoru dissected the squid. (AN: LOL I tried that, it was pretty fun, and I got to write my name with the ink in the squid.) When Kaoru finished, Misao totally ditched her because she was really hungry too and dashed out without a trace.
Kaoru sighed to herself and walked out into the hallway alone. Her stomach was making too much noise for comfort and she really needed to buy some of that really tasty and greasy looking lunch food from the school.
'Footsteps…' Footsteps indeed she heard. Kaoru turned back but only saw a guy flirting with more girls than he could probably handle. 'Hm… couldn't have been him… or them surrounding him, because that'd be pretty weird…' She shrugged off the thought and continued walking.
Footsteps again… Kaoru felt a hand cover her mouth as she was pulled into what seemed to be a closet and into the darkness. [Insert dramatic effect here] (AN: Well oh so important readers, add your dramatic effect, it helps… kinda ^-^' Anyways, gasp, scream, cry, anything, but at least try. I did and I felt the full effect of the story. :: notice the great amount of sarcasm:: XD)
Anyways, on with the story. So, Kaoru is now in a closet like room with no lights and she was completely famished. She groped around finding something to hold on to. Luckily, she found something that felt like a broom. 'Good enough substitute for a bokken right?' Trying to look in the dark wasn't a great idea though… neither was sniffing. 'What's that smell, cologne? Ugh, I hate cologne…' (AN: And I hate perfume! Very nauseating… -_-' Well, sorry for those who like perfume, but I hate it. Sue me, well actually don't, flames are better, kinda… forget it.)
"Hello Kaoru." Now that voice was oh too familiar and very hated.
"Come out Enishi, let's get this over with so I can eat. I'm really hungry."
"Is that how you're going to treat your going-to-be boyfriend?" Enishi pulled a chain that turned on the lights.
With her quick reflexes, Kaoru shielded her eyes from the light. "What do you want Enishi, and make it quick."
"All I want is another chance with you." He smirked, which was the smirk he used on all the girls he tried to seduce. 'Well, that gay face will never work on my superior beauty!' thought Kaoru in triumphant. Anyways, Enishi drew out a bokken, though it was completely straight unlike the regular curved ones. 'Must be a different style. Nothing I can't handle right? I mean, this guy's a newbie!'
"Bring it Enishi!" Kaoru charged at him…
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, Kenshin was worried since Kaoru wasn't usually late judging by her daily appetite. 'I don't know, maybe I should ask Misao where she is.'
"Hey Makimachi-san! Where's Kaoru?" yelled Kenshin.
"Um… she should be here by now, though I kinda ditched her back there, but I was hungry. Maybe she's still in the hallway. I'm done with my lunch, let's go find her."
"Alright…" replied the redhead. They ran out of the lunchroom and into the hallway.
Just then, some screams were heard. Kenshin and Misao looked at each other and dashed in the screams direction. It wasn't Kaoru screaming, but other students screaming because of the load thumps coming from the closet door. "Hey Misao, what do you think is going on in there?"
"You're asking me?" Misao gave him the 'what the heck are you doing asking me for, I just as dumb as you!' look.
BAM!
Kenshin quickly turned his head toward the closet door and found a broomstick handle sticking out of it. 'What the heck is that doing there?!'
"KYA!" screamed a very familiar voice that belonged to the one Kenshin cared for. After hearing that battle cry, Kenshin dashed to the handle and was just about to open the door when the door came falling down and out came none other than Enishi.
"In your face Enishi! Never mess with Kamiya Kaoru when she is extremely hungry!" Kaoru had her sleeves rolled up and a few hairs sticking up. She stomped her way out and just so seemed to step on the fallen door.
"ORO…"
"Eh?" Kaoru jumped off the door and hoisted it up. 'Oh my gosh…' Yup, she found a swirly eyed Kenshin underneath the door and totally flattened. "Sorry Kenshin! I didn't know you were behind the door." Kaoru offered and hand and Kenshin gladly took it and was lifted up from the floor. Kenshin quickly dusted off his clothes and straightened his hair.
"Um… Kaoru, did you really have to kick that door so hard?"
"That pervert was keeping me from my lunch! What do you expect to do when you're really hungry and locked in a closet with some rich freak?!" Kaoru's face was red with rage, not a good sign for Kenshin. 'Ok Kenshin, don't get her mad, it must be THAT time… not a good time to get her mad.'
You know what could get worse? The bell rang. "WHAT?! And I didn't even get to eat my lunch! Gr…"
'Crap, she's getting even angrier. What should I do? Wait a second… I got some lunch left! Kenshin, you're so smart.' Kenshin opened his backpack and grabbed something that looked like a sandwich. Better yet, it was a croissant sandwich, well… half of it, with turkey… lettuce… avocado… mayonnaise… (Author is now fantasizing, don't bother him… OK I'm done fantasizing! On with the story!) Well, anyways, let's just say the sandwich was going to be really good, since Kenshin did make it himself.
"Hey Kaoru, if you're that hungry, why don't you eat your lunch?" Not a very good question to ask during that time. Kaoru gave him 'Why do you think?' glares that she was quite good at. Kenshin backed away a few steps to dodge any attack attempts from Kaoru, but enough to keep her from assuming Kenshin was trying to run away.
"Do I look like I have a lunch? Do I even look like the person to make a lunch?" Kaoru was now on the tips of her toes, towering over Kenshin as he backed away. Several veins could be seen as one by one popped out of her forehead.
"Um… would you like some of my sandwich? I'm not hungry anymore so you can have it, that is, if you want it." Kenshin brought the sandwich he was holding with his right hand. Kaoru snatched it out of his hand and thanked him quickly. There was a slight blush, but Kaoru turned away so that Kenshin couldn't be sure if she really was blushing.
Kaoru opened the zip-lock bag and shoved the sandwich down her throat. When she was finally content with her meal, Kaoru burped. "Ah, that was so refreshing. Alright Kenshin, we got to get to our next class! Come on!" Kaoru grabbed the back of Kenshin's collar and dragged him towards Parenting. (AN: Ok, so I did kinda take that Parenting idea from Chiki, but I'm sorry, I was totally fresh out of ideas, but don't worry people, there will be nothing important about that class anymore, so just forget about it! Sorry! Bare with me people! ^-^')
The rest of the day went by quite slowly as Parenting was as boring as ever. Their baby projects had finished a while ago, so there was nothing left decent to do. Easy A's if you ask me. Algebra was just plain evil word problems that had just about nothing to do with math. The author of the book probably got bored of the word problems himself. Even their teacher found it quite hard to figure out the problems (AN: What problems? XD) so he just told everybody there was no homework until he found out the answers to the word problems.
Kaoru and Kenshin walked towards the white Celica right after school, but Kenshin was lagging behind by a few feet. "Kenshin, what's wrong?"
"Um… is it ok if I walk home today? I just want to go see my old house and how it's looking now ok? I don't know why, but I just want to go check it out… After seeing it, I'll come directly home alright?
"Kenshin, are you sure?" Kaoru turned on the ignition and drove towards Kenshin then made a nice U-turn by drifting. The smoke from her perfect drift was spluttered all over a guy leaning on his white Toyota Sprinter Trueno. The guy coughed and quickly jumped into his car, then rolled up the windows.
"Um… yeah, I'm sure." Kenshin was about to laugh at the guy with the Sprinter, but decided not to incase he got run over. Those things were quite fast if you put in the right stuff.
"Ok then, see you later Kenshin!" Kaoru stomped on the pedal and was off, leaving tire marks and a huge puff of smoke. Just for the fun of it, Kenshin held his breath and ran through the smoke, thinking that there would be a hole the shape of his body, but… didn't seem to work. Kenshin shrugged and continued his way towards his new home. He didn't know why he wanted to go, I guess he just wanted to have some time to think for himself, and having the excuse of walking home was just perfect.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, walking back to his old home didn't take as long as he thought, since he was "thoughting" something else on the way there. (AN: Yes, another made up word, but it works… kinda ^-^') Nothing but flashbacks went through Kenshin's head as he continued to walk. How he first met Kaoru, going to school with her, interviewing her, breaking up with Tomoe, and just about everything else that went on so far involving Kaoru. She brightened up his life a lot.
Upon arriving at his old house, well, he noticed it wasn't too old anymore. It was way larger than he had expected it. 'Seems like someone already remodeled it. Hm… I hate curiosity!' The urge of seeing who lived there was too great for Kenshin to handle. A second later, he found himself at the front door and ringing the door bell. While waiting, Kenshin took the time to notice all the changes. Well, it was bigger, a lot bigger to be exact. It was AT LEAST three stories. Kenshin wasn't so sure though since the sun was in his eyes when he looked up. What seemed to be the dojo was still there, but windows were added and so was furniture. It seemed more like a dance floor for things like ballroom dancing and stuff. The color of the huge house was now peach colored and none of the walls were torn up.
The door finally opened. And you know what the crappy thing is? The person wasn't exactly who Kenshin was expecting to see. It was like that person was trying to wreck up his life or something. 'This is crap, I'm going to need a distraction to run away though…' Kenshin pointed behind the person and yelled, "HEY A DISTRACTION!" Kenshin was just about to run, but the person at the door stopped him. (AN: Aren't you so desperate to know who this "person at the door" is right about now?)
"Kenshin! Stop right there! Why don't you come in for a while? I haven't talked to you for the longest time!" The person clapped her hands together in joy.
Good thing Kenshin's long hair was covering the veins popping out of his forehead, but his facial expression just didn't cut it. 'Boy I'd like to shove one of my pencils up her…"
"Kenshin! Come on! It won't be that bad." Well, by this time you probably are ripping your hair out thinking about who this evil person may be. Well, first of all, it's a her, and she's evil, so who else could she be? Tomoe! You people are so smart. Well, on with this great story of mine! (AN: Notice my sarcasm…) A few scabs were still on her face, but it was resistible to laugh. Anyways, Kenshin went in, but he knew he would regret it later. Kenshin shifted to his observation mode and devoured every different item from his old house into his mind. Well, there were a lot of things rich people would buy like pottery, paintings, artifacts, really expensive family heirlooms, and a really nice entertainment system. But the worst change of all was having his "used-to-be" best friend and girlfriend together, living in his "used-to-be" house. 'Gosh this sucks! I want to leave…'
"Kenshin! Old buddy! I've wanted to talk to you again for the longest time!" Akira popped up behind them somehow and DUDE was that a QUEER greeting.
"Um… That's ok Akira. I just wanted to see how my new home was like now. I got to get HOME." Kenshin started walking towards the door, his eyebrows twitching with anger. 'When did I start twitching my eyebrow? Did I get it from Kaoru? (Mental sigh!)'
"Oh I see, well do you like what we've done with it? Tomoe and I are going to live in it for the rest of our lives! Isn't that great?!" He was acting like a giddy little girl who had just got Barbie's RV play set.
"You know what Akira?" Kenshin smiled and turned grabbing a small painting on the wall. "How much does this cost?"
"Um… around twenty dollars?"
"Good." Kenshin ran up with his GOD-LIKE SPEED and smashed the picture through his head. Then he took out his wallet and threw a twenty at him. "It was worth every cent."
"Kenshin! How could you do such a thing?" Tomoe dashed to Akira's side immediately.
Kenshin stuffed his hands in his pocket and turned. "Sue me then." He left and returned home feeling quite proud of himself. 'Aw crap! What if they do sue me?'
(AN: Yes, I'm celebrating as I write this. AKIRA BASHING! How fun… ^-^)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Well, they didn't sue him though. Seeming you could sue people for just about anything, Akira's bump on his head healed very quickly so they couldn't have enough evidence. Sucks for him, but who cares right?
End of First Quarter Exams were arriving and things got a little hectic in Kaoru's home. Papers on the floor, constant use of grounded coffee beans, and music playing at 3 AM in the morning weren't considered clean and healthy to Mr. Kamiya and Hiko.
"That's it! I can't take it anymore! I need my sleep you know!" cried Hiko. He jumped out of his bed and stomped his way towards Kenshin's room. When he arrived, he found Kenshin's room's lights off and heard slow breathing. 'Oh…I knew he was sleeping ALL the time,' Hiko persuaded himself. He closed the door and made his way back to his room. As he turned a corner into the hallway, he bumped into somebody. With quick reactions, Hiko jumped the person. "Who are you?! If you're a solicitor, GET OUT! Do you know what time it is?"
"WHOA! Hiko, it's just me!"
Hiko turned on the lights and found Mr. Kamiya on the floor.
"Whoops…" Hiko scratched the back of his head thinking of a lame excuse for running into him.
"Checking on Kenshin? Those exams are practically killing them." Mr. Kamiya shook his head feeling sorry for them.
"Yeah, what are you doing this late at night?" Hiko asked as he crossed his arms.
"Well, I was just about to check on Kaoru myself. Would you like to join me?" Mr. Kamiya looked over to Kaoru's room and back at Hiko.
"Sure, it wouldn't hurt. You don't mind if I get a really early morning snack on the way back right?"
Well, little did they know, it would hurt… literally. But they didn't know that yet so both of them arrived at Kaoru's door. Hearing light sounds of the computer keyboard. Mr. Kamiya was the first to attempt opening the door. Slowly, parts of Kaoru's room were seen, until Kaoru herself was in sight at her desk typing away on her laptop.
"GET OUT!" screamed Kaoru as a coffee mug came flying out in Mr. Kamiya's direction. Luckily, he ducked, but unluckily, Hiko was hit directly at his forehead. The impact caused a "kling" sound and a red mark imprinted on Hiko's forehead. Don't forget about the falling on the floor part though.
"Hm… that went well. I guess she's ok, don't you think Hiko-san?" Mr. Kamiya smiled at him and left.
"Uhg…"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Whew, exams were a killer eh?" Kaoru was walking down the hall with Kenshin and Misao.
"For sure… I'm just glad it's over." Misao seemed so happy; she did a cartwheel to a back flip and landed lightly. Being on the gymnastics team and going through ninja training with her grandpa wasn't for nothing you know.
"Don't we get a week off after that?" Yup, Kenshin was also relieved from all those stressful nights, but Kaoru was the most relieved after all those late nights and throwing low fat mocha with milk bottles made by Starbucks on the floor. It wasn't a pretty sight, but what's done is done right?
"Hey! Why don't I have a party?! Just to celebrate the end of the tests? It would be so much fun!" Kaoru suggested.
"Oh joy! A party! So who are we going to invite? What food should we bring? Where is it going to be? When is it? Um… is there anything else I should ask?" Misao was throwing all the necessary questions she could at Kaoru and the only thing it did to Kaoru was get her pissed.
"SHUT UP MISAO!" Everyone in the hallway came to a halt. All of them staring at Kaoru didn't help her anger either. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" That made everybody run away in 5 seconds flat. "There, now that's better right?" Kaoru looked back at Misao, but Misao wasn't where she was standing, but trying to hide between the lockers and the wall. "Misao? What are you doing over there?"
"What do you think? Hiding from you of course! You're nuts when you're mad!" you could see her shivering with fright for a while until she calmed down… a little.
"Am I that scary?" Kaoru turned to face the oblivious looking Kenshin. "Kenshin?"
"Um… no?" Kenshin backed away a few steps incase he said the wrong thing.
"Yeah right! Stop lying Kenshin! You know she gets so mad, you can see some of her hair rise! Super Saiyan man!" Misao didn't intend that to be an insult, but to Kaoru… oh boy…
"Misao… you're so dead, but I'm going to have to bring you back from the dead to make you help with the party." That smirk filled entirely with evil… wasn't a good sign for Misao. "I'll give you one minute…" Misao dashed as quickly as she could, "Or not…" Kaoru was right behind her, running as fast as she could. Misao was a fast runner indeed, but when Kaoru's mad, anything's possible. She tackled Misao and they both rolled on the floor giggling.
Meanwhile, Kenshin was still clueless and just staring at the two giggling girls where one of them was just about to kill the other. He smacked his forehead. 'I'll never understand women…'

WELL, that took a while didn't it? Hm… anyways, that's chapter 7 and I hope you enjoy it. I am SO SORRY for not updating quickly as I promised, but I've been stuck with a maximum amount of homework, constant DDR playing (Freckles is quite fun on DDR but it could be harder if it was the original version in Japanese from the show), more than necessary Gunbound playing (just started and very addicted), making a few graphics, and reading other fanfics. Also how this chapter's file was corrupted once, so I had to start all over from scratch, but I think this version was better than the previous one. Well at least my friend isn't strangling me right now so I shall answer your very important reviews…
