The Kenshin-gumi stood in awe at the mansion before them and gasped. The property was huge and the house was just as big. It was a farley new house, made to look old, with ivy creeping up the side. There were gardeners busily attending to the flowers, and a short man came to help them with their bags.
"Wow Jou-chan, your friend's got a huge place!! I bet they got great food!!" Called out Sano starting to head for the door
"Hey! Wait for me!!" Yelled Yahiko as he ran after Sano. Tsubame followed them, leaving, Megumi, Kaoru and Kenshin still staring at the house.
"It is a wonderful piece of architecture.." Megumi muttered as she and the other two followed into the strange house. When they stepped inside they saw that Sano, Yahiko, and Tsubame were standing in front of a large room. There was a fireplace and a few couches and chairs in front of it. A man stood up from one of the chairs
"Welcome" Reijiro said in an unfriendly tone, "I'm happy to see you...all" he glanced around at his visitors and sounded a little patronizing. "I'll show you to your rooms now if you wish." They nodded and followed him down the hall, up a flight of stairs and down another hall. When they stopped they saw two big rooms with four beds in each. The girls went in one and the guys in another.
"I'm tired!!" Megumi announced as she flopped on to the nearest bed. Tsubame looked around the room and quiet began rummaging through her bags. Kaoru placed her bag at the end of her bed and sat on the edge of it.
"So Kaoru....why did you invite us? I thought you'd want to be alone in a big house with your 'boyfriend'" Megumi teased still laying down.
"What?! I never said he was--!!"
"I know tanuki! I was fooling around with you!! Can't you take a joke?"
Kaoru didn't say anything but didn't have to because there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Come in!" The girls said at once. The door opened and Kenshin was standing there smiling
"Reijiro-san ('That no good dirty bas-') has just informed us that we are welcome in the dining area and that food is ready and waiting. Sano and Yahiko are already down there stuffing their faces no doubt." He laughed with the other girls and Megumi and Tsubame started to run down the halls. Kaoru smiled and began to walk ahead of him.
"Umm...Kaoru-dono?"
"Hai Kenshin?"
"May sessha (A/N: See?! I wrote sessha!! Yay!!)escort you to the dining room?" Kenshin asked earnestly holding out his arm
Kaoru stood there for a second, 'Is he really asking me...? Better not discourage him!'
"Hai Kenshin. I'd love that" she answered lacing her arm through his. They walked down the hall towards the dining room, not speaking another word, afraid to ruin the moment. Kaoru was happily smiling and Kenshin trying to smile, but could help thinking that he was only being this forward out of jealousy of Reijiro..
They were soon standing in front of the two large doors that lead to the dining area. Kaoru look up at Kenshin and smiled. He looked back at her and did the same.
'This is why I'm being forward....she's too beautiful...No! Stop being a hentai!! Oro...'
"Kenshin..I think we shouldn't walk in like this.." Kaoru said bringing Kenshin out of his reverie
"Oro?"
"Don't take it personally Kenshin!! It's just that we'd get the worst teasing of our lives and Reijiro probably kill you," he looked at her for a moment, "Or at least try..."
"Alright Kaoru-dono" He answered with a smiled. He unhooked their arms and walked over to the door, holding it open for her.
"Arigato Kenshin.." She bowed her head and walked in thinking, 'Everything between us is just so tense..I hope there is nothing wrong.....I wonder why Kenshin offered to walk me down...is t because of Reijiro? Or was it me?'
"What took you so long Jou-chan?! I almost had to eat your food!!" yelled Sano, who was sitting contently next to Yahiko, with a full stomach.
"You poor thing, rooster-head! Imagine if you had to? What a nightmare!" She laughed and Sano said nothing in defeat. Megumi and Tsubame were quietly talking and picking at their food when Reijiro made his 'grand' appearance.
"Hello, hello! Sorry I'm late, (A/N: We didn't miss you!) there was some business to attend to in the garden." He walked over to Kaoru and kissed her hand, "Terribly sorry for keeping you waiting my love." At this, Kenshin flinched. Reijiro took her hand and guided her to a seat next to the chair he intended on sitting in. Kenshin took the seat on the other side of Kaoru and tried to enjoy his meal, ignoring the fact that that man incessantly called HIS Kaoru love. The meal was indeed good, despite the bad company.
"My love?" Reijiro spoke to Kaoru, and Kenshin flinched again, "Would you like to come into town this evening? There is going to be a small festival and I was wondering if you'd accompany me?" (A/N: I don't know much about that sort of thing in Japan, but I do know that in Greece they hold small festivals a lot during the summer months...and I needed a reason for them to do SOMETHING. I really don't have it all figured out yet...) Reijiro smiled and wait for an answer.
"Well..." She looked around the table at her friends. Sano grimaced, Yahiko was stuffing his face, Tsubame was watching him, and Megumi raised her eyebrows. Kaoru looked and Kenshin who was swirling a mixture of food on his plate with a fork, not wanting to look up, but not very hungry. "Can.."
"Yes your friends may come along.." Reijiro answered her unspoken question. She smiled politely and nodded. "Great! Then you should get ready in a little while, we can leave at 7. It's at night and there will be fireworks. It's quite lovely really."
"That's what you said about your house" Sano said annoyed with his 'proper attitude'. "This is 'quite lovely, and that is 'quite lovely' and me killing you is-"
"Really? Fireworks?" Yahiko said sounding excited, "I've never seen fireworks!"
"You'll like them Yahiko, they are very nice." Kaoru told the excited little boy. She looked over at Kenshin again, who still wasn't looking up and sighed. "I think I'll go back to my room now..." She got up and Megumi and Tsubame began to follow her. Kenshin watched her leave out of the corner of his eye and sighed.
