"Kaoru? Kaoru?! Would you talk to us?!" Megumi called down the hall, walking after a silent Kaoru with Tsubame. Kaoru continued to walk back to their room, not saying anything at all.
"Please Kaoru...what's the matter?" Tsubame called to her timidly. Kaoru got to their room and flopped face first onto her bed. Tears began to stream down her face. Megumi and Tsubame sat on the bedside
"Honestly Kaoru, would you grow up?" Megumi rolled her eyes
"Shut up! Kami! You act like you know EVERYTHING!!" Kaoru shouted at Megumi, who was a little surprised at her sudden outburst. "Did you see Kenshin at dinner? The way he avoided me? The way he wouldn't even look at me? Do you know how bad that hurts?" She continued half through her pillow and half through tears. Megumi was quite for a moment, letting the younger girl cry.
"Kaoru, you stupid tanuki. Did YOU see him at dinner? Did YOU see the way he flinched every time Reijiro called you love or something? Did YOU see the way he watched you out of the corner of his eyes when you weren't looking? Do YOU know how bad that hurt him?" (A/N: No, not the straining his eyes part minna-san, hehe..) Kaoru starred at her and hung her head in defeat. Tsubame put her hand on Kaoru's back and smiled. Kaoru looked down at her 'She's so young...but sometimes I think she can be as comforting as Megumi can be when she's nice...when she's nice...but is she right?' Kaoru smiled back
"Kaoru..Are you going to stop crying now?" Megumi asked her. She nodded, "Good! We have to get ready for tonight, remember! And you want to look nice for Ken-san right?" She bowed her head and blushed and Megumi laughed
Kaoru looked up, "And you want to look nice for Sanosuke, riiiiiiight??"
"Hey! No! I never--!"
"And Tsubame wants to look nice for Yahiko, right?" This time she asked sweetly and wholeheartedly. Tsubame nodded and blushed.
"Kaoru?" Tsubame asked, "May I do your hair?"
"Hai Tsubame, you may."
Tsubame combed through Kaoru's raven hair. Kaoru smiled and Megumi went to put on a good kimono. Tsubame brushed Kaoru's hair till it shone and then carefully tied it up in a cute bun. Kaoru then went to pick out a kimono. She pulled out the one she had worn the night she saw Reijiro again. The night she had been so close to telling Kenshin she loved him. The night the world was turned upside down. She glanced over it for a second.. dark blue, patterned with white, baby blue flowers and cherry blossoms..She remembered Kenshin sitting at the wash basin when she told him she was going..she remembered him staring at her before speaking...and then how he gazed into her eyes that night at the bridge....
She shook herself out of a reminiscing state and slipped into the kimono. Tsubame and Megumi were ready soon as well, dressed up in very nice kimono's, hair brushed through a hundred times..they all looked very lovely. They stepped out of the room to be greeted by the boys.
"Wow fox, you look good!" said Sano
"You better watch!" She threatened. Yahiko's eyes widened at Tsubame and she blushed. He offered her an arm and they walked down the hall together. Megumi began to walk as well and Sano followed, leaving Kenshin and Kaoru in an awkward silence.
Kenshin's jaw had dropped when she had stepped out of the room, but quickly retracted it when she glanced his way. He couldn't help but stare at her and how beautiful she looked (A/N; Not only does Kaoru kick butt, but she's beautiful too!! And smart too..she's so not a flake like that ex-cop from Tenchi Muuyo (spelling?) That's why Kaoru's my favorite!! (plus she's got a low temper, like me....heheh)) Kaoru shifted under his gaze, and he realized he was probably making her uncomfortable so he tried to speak.
"Kaoru-dono..you..look...beauti-"
"Absolutely beautiful koishii! You look absolutely beautiful! I'm touched you went through all that trouble just to look nice for me!" Reijiro said placing his hands on her shoulders. Kaoru stammered, trying to find the right words
"But..I...Kenshin..." Reijiro took her arm and began to walk down the hall. Kenshin stood there, mouth hanging open, and his eye twitching, 'I swear if he calls her koishii one more time...' He thought, with hints of amber in his eyes. He looked up and saw Kaoru looking back with pleading eyes mouthing the words 'help me'. Kenshin raised an eyebrow and she looked back towards Reijiro. Kenshin smiled his rurouni smile at her and she turned back forward and slumped her shoulders.
"Koishii? What's the matter?" Reijiro said looking down at her. He turned around to see what she was looking at and saw Kenshin, still standing there. "Oh forget about him, he's just a dumb swordsman. He isn't good for you, not like I am. Koishii, you deserve much better then him...."
Kaoru jumped back and glared menacingly at him. Kenshin was watching in curiosity, wondering what Reijiro had said to get her that upset.
"Don't talk about Kenshin that way! And the only reason I'm here is because I thought I owed you something! I'm not your koishii, so stop it! I've had enough of you!" Kaoru walked down the hall shaking her head in anger. Kenshin stood there, surprised and Reijiro looked calm and unshaken.

"Wow! Look at all the fireworks!! They are so cool!" Yahiko shouted as they watched the patterns play across the sky. Tsubame giggled and Sano and Megumi watched in amazement. Kaoru stood in between her conflict; on her right, a jealous, yet shy rurouni and on her left, a past love that couldn't take a hint. (A/N: Seriously, he can't though!)
"They are so pretty..." She said to no one in particular
"Hai" Reijiro and Kenshin said in unison. Kaoru just rolled her eyes. She suddenly felt a hand creep up her right side and rest on the curve of her hip. She realized that it could only be Reijiro, since he was on her left. She then stepped to her right and slapped him hard on the cheek
"Keep your hands to yourself you hentai!" She yelled, bumping into Kenshin and tripping, but Kenshin caught her at the last second, and stood her up. She thanked him and he merely smiled. She turned back to Reijiro and started to yell at him. Kenshin hid a smile beneath his bangs (A/N: I don't feel like writing what Kaoru actually said, so you use your imagination!) Kaoru was just so cute when she was mad and the fact that she was mad at the person he was jealous at was even better. 'That means she must not want him or like him the way he does her...' He mused in is head, 'Maybe sessha has a chance....' He watched Kaoru walk away to a stand where they were selling flowers, and lean against one of the posts. He smiled and slipped away from the fireworks show.
"Kaoru-dono?"
Kaoru looked up surprised, she had been starring into space when Kenshin came. She smiled a weak smile
"Kaoru-dono, are you all right?"
"Hai Kenshin..." She said miserably. Kenshin shook his head with a smile. He looked up at the fireworks. Kaoru did as well, "They're beautiful, aren't they?"
"Hai, but they are not the only thing beautiful here..." He answered earnestly, in a way Reijiro was never able to fake. Kaoru turned as red as Kenshin's hair and bowed her head. Kenshin turned around to the flower stand and Kaoru didn't pay much attention.
He glanced over at her to make sure she wasn't watching and slipped something into his gi. He turned back to her
"Kaoru?" Kenshin called her attention. Kaoru turned, surprised at the loose of her honorific. He smiled and held up a perfect looking pink rose. He handed the flower to her, searching for what to say.
"Oh Kenshin! It's beautiful! Arigato!" She threw her arms around his neck
"You're very welcome Kaoru-dono" He replied with a chuckle. She smiled and pulled away, leaning against a post once again. She looked at the flower, and traced it's petals with her figures with a soft smile on her face. Kenshin watched her, smiling as well, then looked up at the fire works, which where coming to an end. Kaoru shifted closer to Kenshin and rested her head on Kenshin's shoulder. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
A bit away, there was a pair of green eyes watching...
And not liking what they were seeing...
