*~*~*~*: flashback

The group walked back, with almost no prominent events. Yahiko and Tsubame were involved in a very animated conversation concerning who knows what, Megumi was yelling at Sanosuke again and Kenshin, Kaoru and Reijiro were walking silently.
At the house Megumi and Kaoru went upstairs to bed straight away while Yahiko and Tsubame started to play some game in the living room (A/N: You know the room where Reijiro was sitting in the last chapter?) that involved a barrel of monkeys (A/N: I couldn't think of anything!! Hehheheh) Kenshin fell down onto a large couch starring at the fire place. It was a very large room, filled with paints and large old oak furniture. He sat starring into the fire when he suddenly felt someone sit on the other side of the couch
"What's a matter good buddy?" Sano asked putting his feet up on a coffee table. (A/N: ..should I have said 'tea table'...) "You've been looking all depressed ever since we got here!"
"Sessha is fine Sano, but arigato for your concern." Kenshin lied giving his friend a brief false smile.
"Oi Kenshin, just steal the girl back!"
"ORO?!"
"You heard me. This whole war between you and Reijiro is obviously over Jou- chan, so just steal her back!"
"Sano, sessha couldn't.."
"Oh shut up! You know you love the girl s go ahead. This Reijiro dude obviously will use Kaoru and Kami knows you're afraid do to ANYTHING, so just go ahead" Sano laughed and gave Yahiko a dirty look when he turned around. Yahiko nodded and went with Tsubame into the kitchen to play with the maids.
"Sano, sessha appreciates you help, but I don't think Kaoru-do-"
"Oi Kenshin!" Sano called out, becoming annoyed with the rurouni's ignorance, "Stop thinking about what Jou-chan wants and stat thinking about YOU! Shessh! I went through all the trouble of helping Kaoru and you don't even get it!"
"Oro?! NANI?"
"Yea you heard me! The whole fiancé thingy was a fake trick to see how you felt about Kaoru, and of course you acted jealous, but Reijiro HAD to come and ruin it! Man, it was going good too..Kaoru's a pretty good temptress when put to the test." he rubbed his chin thoughtfully
"ORORORO!!!!! SANOSUKE!?!?"
"Calm down, I'm not about to take Kaoru, don't worry..Man that would be strange though..it would be like going out with your little sister..Anywhoo! I say we kill Reijiro right here and now!" He slammed a clenched fist into his palm
"But Sano, we can't...I mean." Kenshin shifted
"Oh yea, that whole no killing thing..forgot.." he scratched the back of his head, "I give up..I'm outta ideas.." He threw up his hands in defeat, "But hold on...what was with those flowers Kenshin?"
"Oro?"
"Damnitt!! Kenshin, cut it out with the 'oroing' already!!!!! I was asking you why did you put some flowers in your gi?"
Kenshin was silent for a second, with a smile on his face. Sano arched an eyebrow and laughed
"They for Jou-chan?"
"Hai"
Sano smiled even wider, "You sly little rurouni.....Why you gotta be all sweet 'cause you know the other girls are gonna on top of us trying to get us to do the same!"
"Gomen Sano..but don't you mean one girl in particular?" Kenshin smile was as wide as Sano's was
"OI!!!"
"Gomen, gomen..No offense meant by it..."
"Baka rurouni.."
Meanwhile upstairs Megumi and Kaoru were getting ready for bed. Kaoru took the rose and placed it carefully on the dresser (A/N: I think I neglected to mention that this home is very 'western style', with the tables and beds and what not...you get the picture) Megumi eyed her and shook her head
"What did I tell you Tanuki?" She laughed, "I knew he would do something like this..."
"Mmm.."
"What was that for?"
Kaoru laughed, "I'm not paying attention, sorry"
"I noticed...You should blow Reijiro off and go back to Tokyo with Ken-san, he's a total creep"
"Yea but...I feel bad for forgetting about him"
"You didn't forget about him you moved on.. There's a difference"
"I know..." Kaoru mumbled as she crawled into bed. "Good night Fox."
"Good night Tanuki"
@---
The next day Kaoru woke up early. She looked around quietly to see that everyone else was asleep. She sat up, stretched her back and looked down at her feet to see a beautiful carnation on her bed. At first she was reluctant, thinking of Reijiro but then remembered Kenshin slipping something into his gi last night at the stand.
'And he thought I didn't notice.' she mused while picking it up.
Megumi slowly opened her eyes a minute later. She sat up and smiled at the younger girl, sitting on the edge of her bed, carnation in hand. She suddenly remembered something from last night (A/N: You know when you don't remember something from the night till later in the day? Well it's that sorta thing)
*~*~*~*
I heard the door creak and it frightened me. I looked over the covers to see a man, short in height, and extremely quite. I squinted a bit and noticed the man's hair was a very vibrant color, even in the dark. Relaxed, knowing this man would never hurt anyone by will.
"Do you usually sneak into people's bedrooms Ken-san?" I asked sitting up with a smile.
"Gomen nasai Megumi-dono...and no sessha doesn't...but.." he held up a beautiful carnation.
"Oh Ken-san!" I exclaimed trying to keep my voice down
"Well Megumi-dono...sessha..this is" He stuttered and I suspected he thought I thought it was for me
"You got her another flower?" I said as he relaxed a bit, "You're too sweet for your own good"
"Mmm.." It's not really an answer, I know, and it made me wonder what was running through that baka's head..
He turned to the tanuki, eyes memorizing her every feature, and placed the flower on her bed...
I couldn't help but think 'what a sap'
Kaoru shivered in the slightest way and he pulled the covers over her shoulders. I rolled my eyes..He was going to worry himself to death over her, I swear..He turned to leave and placed a hand on the door knob, but turned back to me
"Megumi-dono, may sessha ask that just now.."
"Never happened" I finished with a smile. He gave his head a slight bow and just like that, he left the way he came..
I looked over at the sleeping image of Kaoru..'She's so damn lucky' I thought, 'She has a guy that would go through the trouble of doing this, just to see her happy..damn rooster-head couldn't bring himself to get outta bed.....Urgh, why am I thinking about him!! Damn..'
I shook my head and lay down to fall into a deep sleep...
*~*~*~*~*
"M-Megumi..Did Kenshin..?" Kaoru asked bringing Megumi out of her reverie of thoughts
"What do you think?" She answered coyly while swiftly getting out of western bed. Tsubame soon woke while Megumi began to brush her hair.
"Another flower, Kaoru-chan?" she smiled brightly, "Kenshin-san must really love you!"
Kaoru just shook her head with a smile and picked out a kimono. She picked out a pretty red one with white flowers on it. She looked in the mirror and cocked her head to the side.
"Down" Megumi answered her unasked question
"Mmm.." She brushed her hair though, and left it down (A/N: This getting boring...but don't give up! Because something interesting is about to happen! I swear! (maybe not in this chapter..)) Then she placed the flower behind her ear
"I'm going to downstairs" Kaoru announced heading for the door
"Wow, Tanuki, you look good!" Megumi called, "Just don't make Yahiko and Sano jealous!" She laughed
"I won't, I'm not a fox, remember!" Kaoru laughed
"Oi!!" Megumi yelled as Kaoru started to laugh hysterically
Kaoru walked down the long flight of stairs, with a smile on her lips thinking about a certain red-haired rurouni, she was going to have to personally thank...
She entered the dining area and the men all stopped eating for a second (A/N: Did that ever happen to you? You walk out and people just stop to look at you? It happened to me when I was picking out a bridesmaid dress for my uncles wedding) but Sanosuke and Yahiko quickly resumed their strangely fast pace remembering some other persons upstairs. Kenshin sat there, eyebrows raised, and attempting to get his jaw back in place while Reijiro smiled coyly. Kaoru smiled even more as she took a set next to Kenshin
"Kuso Jou-chan!! You look good!" Sano hollered to break the uneasy silence, "What da you think Kenshin?"
"H-hai.." He stammered turning back to his food, but letting his eyes wander. Kaoru shook her head in amusement but suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder
"Koishii, you got the flower I gave you! And I must say you look quite lovely" Reijiro said sitting down next to her while Sano mumbled something about Reijiro in a casket would be 'quite lovely'.
"Come koishii," taking her hand and guiding her out of the chair, "There is something I must discus with you in the garden if you will"
"I guess...." she answered letting her self be directed out
"Oi Kenshin!" Sano yelled throwing a plate at Kenshin's head, causing Yahiko to laugh so hard he choked on some rice, "Aren't you gonna follow him?"
"Kaoru-dono can take care of herself that she can..And I think Reijiro-san isn't stupid enough to do anything..." He answered, eye slightly twitching
"What ever man..."
Outside...
"Reijiro, could you let go?!" Kaoru said pulling her arm away from his grasp, "I'm not some inferior you can order around!"
"Oh, koishii..I'm sorry" He said in a fake manner as he gestured to a bench on a patio overlooking the garden. Kaoru gasped at the beautiful view of trees flowers and even a small fountain. The trees were many different colors of red and orange, since it was autumn (A/N: If I neglected to mention that I'm terribly sorry..It's autumn, late November.....) Reijiro smirked
"Beautiful, ne? Took me long enough to pay for it all"
"What did you want to ask me?" Kaoru looked at him wanting to get to the point
"Ah yes..koishii this could all be yours easily, just allow me to finish what I started a couple years ago.."
"I.."
~
"Himura-san?" Kenshin turned to see a maid calling him
"Hai?"
"There is someone here to see you.."
"Alright, excuse me Sano," he said while the ex-gangster just smirked. Kenshin followed the maid outside to see a figure relaxing against the molding of the door
"You're always here when there's trouble, baka"
"Saitou?!"
~
"I..don't want all of this" Kaoru said turning away.
"Why the hell wouldn't you?"
"Because...I.."
"Because you're in love with the vagabond?"
"Hai.."
"You do realize he's the Hittokari Battousai?"
"No, he's Himura Kenshin now...but I didn't think you knew of his past..."
"You really think I'm that dumb? Red-hair and a cross-shaped scar? If you know then..why?"
"Because I think I know him more then I do you..you've changed..for the worst." She turned to leave but he grabbed her arm
"You want to know more?"
~
"What are you doing here Saitou?"
"Making sure you don't get yourself killed.."
"Nani? Sessha doesn't understand."
Figures, baka...." He answered taking a long drag on his cigarette, "This 'Reijiro' fellow has an...interesting past.."
"Sessha knows he was in the government if that's what you mean..."
"Not quite.."
~
"You want to know more, huh?" he said grabbing her closer to him
"This isn't you Reijiro!! You would've never done this!!"
"But you said you didn't know me!"
"I don't want to!" He wasn't listening or didn't care as their lips came closer, she got frustrated, "That's it!!! HIYA!!!" She pulled back and her foot landed in his jaw causing him to fall back with a scream
~
"A murderer?!" Kenshin shouted in surprise
"Yes, also know to be slightly mentally ill, and quite a hentai...He's managed to kill about eight women in that past 5 months" Saitou light up his 7th cigarette in the past 5 minutes
"Oro?!"
"Quite..He usually finds lonely women and pretends to be a perfect guy.." He blew out smoke from his cigarette and continued, "This time it seems he wanted 'a challenge', so he chose the Battousai's woman...Strangely enough all the women have a few things in common..young, about the Kamiya girl's age, and all have long black hair..Apparently he's quite the spy and will stalk then for a couple days..But in this case he just dug stuff up on your girl's past and now he's after her...sick bastard..."
Suddenly there was loud high-pitched scream coming from the patio. Kenshin was there in the blink of an eye but was confused by the scene before him..
Kaoru was standing up brushing off her kimono, fixing her hair while Reijiro was lying on the ground motionless
"K-Kaoru-dono??" Kenshin asked in surprised
"He screams like a girl, doesn't he?" She said to Kenshin with a grin
"Y-you took him out??"
"Yeah...but I didn't think that kick would knock him out..he was..ur..getting to close for comfort..."
"I see..(A/N: But do you hear?) Are you all right?" (A/N: Only one person's gonna get that joke..)
"Hai, I'm fine..But I think he'll feel that tomorrow," she laughed while Kenshin nodded, "Gomen nasai" she said suddenly with a sigh
"Oro? For what Kaoru-dono?"
"It's my fault we're in this mess..."
"No, Kaoru-dono, there's something about Reijiro sessha must tell you that he must"
"Hai?"
She suddenly felt a cold grip around her neck, slowly closing off her air
"He's right behind you!" Reijiro laughed
@---
Cliff hanger!! Heheh..anywhoo I am terribly sorry for the horrifically long wait.I'll try more ok? But I actually know what to do with this fic!!!! And WAFF is inevitable!!! But now..I'm gonna sing!
I only smile in the dark, My only comfort is the mad gone black, And I know you can't appreciate it, I'm only happy when it rains!!
The darkness grows inside e in fading shades of gray, while all the color of the world in slow sucked away...These lives have torn my world apart!!
Happy hour, cold showers on a cruise to freak you out, we could fly off helicopter nothing left to talk about!
See ya!
