The next morning, Kenshin and Kaoru ate breakfast and headed their way to the safe house in the afternoon.
Kaoru couldn't help but notice that Kenshin had barley talked all day. "Boy, what beautiful day!" she said hoping to get an answer.
"That it is." Kenshin replied, showing no emotion in his voice.
"HA! I got you to talk to me! Even if you only said three words, I got you to say something!" Kaoru did a dance of triumph.
Kenshin stared at her wide-eyed. "Oro? What's that supposed to mean! I just don't like talking. Sheesh."
"Ha! I got you to talk in full sentences!" Kenshin stared at her with his amber eyes. "Ok, I get the hint, you don't wanna talk right now. But you don't have to go all evil on me ya know."
"Whatever" he said sternly.
Kaoru and Kenshin had been walking for a while when Kaoru started complaining. "Man! How much longer 'till we get there? My feet are killing me!"
"In about ten minutes, you baby!" Kenshin said still looking straight ahead. "Just be patient!" Kenshin took a turn down the main street along with Kaoru.
"We're uhhhhhhh, here now. When they arrived at the safe house, it wasn't what they expected. It had one kitchen, one bedroom, one sitting room and a small bathhouse. "Man, Katsura went all out to get us this joint" Kenshin said sarcastically. Suddenly he noticed that Kaoru was gone. "Hey Kaoru! Where are you?"
"Hey Kenshin! Come out back! There's a little pond out here!" Kaoru said with joy as that of a child's. Kenshin sighed at her child-like attitude.
"You are so odd, go be useful and go fix some lunch."
Kaoru's face fumed red. "Fine Mister Bossy Pants!" and she went inside to fix lunch.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Kenshin was cleaning up dinner and Kaoru was currently taking a soothing bath. Kenshin sighed with fatigue as he finished washing the last plate. He got up and walked into the bedroom, only too see kaoru changing into her yukata. Kaoru turned after hearing a noise. "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!!!!!" kaoru threw the nearest object at him, which happened to be a small flower vase.
"Going! Going!" Kenshin's face was bright red as her turned and walked away as fast as possible. He sat down at the engawa and waited for kaoru to come out. Soon she did, still steaming with fury. "I don't understand how she can be so upfront with The Legendary Hitokiri Battousai! I must say I admire her courage." He said with a smirk.
"I'm going to bed. Goodnight Kenshin." She said and went into the room.
"Humph." Kenshin said tiredly. "Yeah same to you."
ONE WEEK LATER
Kenshin and Kaoru were outback staring at the pond when Kaoru spoke.
"Hey Kenshin? Why don't you fix dinner tonight?" Kaoru said hopefully.
"Sure, why not. I haven't cooked in a long time." Then he went into the kitchen to fix dinner.
Kaoru watched him cook from the sitting room. "He's so much cuter when he's not being angry, rude, or sarcastic." Kaoru blushed to herself.
Kenshin noticed her starring at him and smiled. "Do you like what you see or what?"
Kaoru blushed. "Um..To be honest, I-I, I think you should hurry up and finish dinner! Gosh!" She said and stormed of the bedroom.
Kenshin grinned to himself. "She's pretty cute when she's angry." Then Kenshin then hit himself on the head. "Stupid! You are Battousai, remember? The evil Mr. Assassin. She's getting to me already! You are only supposed to protect her! Not to go and start having feelings for her..." He snapped out of his thoughts and fixed the table.
"Dinner Kaoru." Kenshin said.
Kaoru walked into the sitting room. "Alright! I was starving and this food looks sooooo good!" Kaoru took a big bite of the food and then her face went blank.
Kenshin's eyes went from amber to violet. "Oro? What's the matter?" he said curiously.
Kaoru looked evilly at Kenshin. "Yu-Your cooking is better... is better than mine! She said coldly.
Kenshin started laughing uncontrollably
"WHATS SO FUNNY!!!!!"
"I'm sorry Kaoru. You are the first person to make me laugh in years. I just haven't heard anything so funny in a long time!" He said trying not to laugh.
"Well, Im happy you got so much enjoyment at my expense." She said coldly.
Then was a knock on the door. Kenshin's eyes turned from violet to amber. "Who is it?" he said, as he went to open the door.
A boy was standing at the door with an envelope in his hands.
"Hello Mr. Battousai! Said the boy.
Kenshin sighed. "Oh, hello David. You have an assignment for me, correct?"
"Yep! Here you go! And have fun! He winked at Kenshin and was gone.
"What is it Kenshin?" Kaoru asked.
"Nothing. I must leave See you tomorrow." He said coldly.
It's an assassination isn't it Kenshin." She said sadly.
Kenshin said nothing and was out the door.
