Episode 3!! He's handsome, but merciless?!!

Disclaimer: I don't own RK!

Author's notes: I just watched "Nobody's Girl", and it made me cry in one scene when Remy's two dogs died! WAAHH!!

Kaoru yawned again. "I am so sleepy..." she mumbled while walking towards West High.

"Kaoru-chan!!!"

Kaoru shook her head. "The never-ending-energy girl again..." she whispered.

Misao ran up to Kaoru and smiled at her. "You're really so kakoii!"

Kaoru smiled tiredly. "Thanks..." she said.

The two continued walking.

"Sleepy again, Kaoru-chan?" Misao asked.

"Don't worry about it." Kaoru whispered.

Later at the locker room...

Kaoru put her books inside the locker.

"Ne, Kaoru-chan! There's Himura-san!" Misao whispered to Kaoru's ear.

Kaoru dropped her book. She blushed so much again.

"Ohayo, minna!" Kenshin said, smiling at Misao and Kaoru.

"O-O-O-Ohayo..." Kaoru murmured.

"So, Misao, you coming with us?" Kenshin asked.

"Huh? What are you talking about...?" Misao asked, turning to Kaoru.

"Ah! Chotto matte! Let me explain!" Kaoru exclaimed.

Aoshi watched them talk. He suddenly saw a book lying on the floor. He picked it up.

A piece of paper fell out of the book.

Aoshi looked at the paper and was quite amused, although he doesn't show it.

In the letter:

"When are you going to notice me soon...? I'm...waiting for you..."

Aoshi looked at the front cover of the book and it was KAORU'S English book. He stared at the paper.

"...So, what's your answer, Misao-chan?" Kaoru asked.

Misao nodded. "Mochiron! When's the time?" Misao asked.

"Oh... It's..." Kenshin said and spoke with Misao.

Kaoru smiled at the two and suddenly saw Aoshi staring at the paper.

"AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaoru shouted to herself.

Kaoru quickly ran towards Aoshi and grabbed the book and the piece of paper away from him. "Ah...! Gomen!" Kaoru exclaimed and ran towards the classroom quickly.

Misao looked at Kaoru. "Ah! Matte, Kaoru-chan!!" Misao exclaimed and ran after Kaoru.

"Hmm? What's wrong with Kaoru?" Kenshin asked Aoshi.

Aoshi shrugged.

"Well, let's go to the classroom as well." Kenshin said and started walking away.

Before Aoshi can move an inch, he remembered the words...

"When are you going to notice me soon...? I'm...waiting for you..." Aoshi mumbled and followed Kenshin to the room.

Kaoru jumped high and hit the shuttle cock.

It was P.E., and Kaoru with her classmates were playing badminton.

"Wow!! Kaoru's so good in badminton!!" Misao exclaimed.

"Kaoru, fight! Kaoru, fight!" the girls cheered.

Kaoru smiled at her supporting classmates. "Arigatoo!" she said.

"Hmm...you seem so interesting." A voice called out.

Kaoru and the girls looked at the person who said that.

Everybody gasped. "It's Yukishiro Enishi!"

"Hey Kamiya! I challenge you to a contest in badminton this minute!" Enishi exclaimed, Kaoru smiled. "Ok!" she said and positioned herself.

"Be careful, Kaoru! He's really good in badminton!" the girls exclaimed.

"Who is he?" Misao asked one of the girls.

"He's Yukishiro Enishi. He's handsome, but merciless. He's rich too. He courts a girl every now and then with his money...AH! His parents' money!" the girl explained.

"Eh?!" Misao exclaimed.

"He's really good in badminton too. If Kaoru loses, it's 100% that Enishi would tease Kaoru to death and boast again! Kaoru mustn't lose to this game!"

Misao nodded and looked at Kaoru. "Kaoru-chan, ganbatte!" she thought.

Whispers were heard.

"Hey! It's Yukishiro versus Kamiya in badminton!" the boys in the tennis club whispered to one another.

The girls in the cheerleading club went to see their contest too.

Enishi smiled confidently.

Kaoru controlled her temper. "His so-confident smile is so annoying!! I want to rip it off!" Kaoru thought angrily. "Let's start!"

Kaoru threw the shuttle cock to the air and hit it with the racket.

The shuttlecock flew towards Enishi, and he hit it to go to Kaoru again.

The game went on with many viewers in different clubs.

The baseball club members were jogging around the court.

Soujirou stopped jogging and noticed that it was Kaoru who was playing badminton. He watched her play.

"Ah! I lose again!!!" the junior member in kendo club exclaimed.

Kenshin took off his helmet. "You have to do better to beat me!" he said.

"Himura! Guys! There's a game going on in the court! It's Kamiya versus Yukishiro in badminton! Come see because they're both good at it!" the girl cheerleader exclaimed.

The other boys ran out of the room to watch.

Kenshin went out of the room and looked at the court. He saw Kaoru. He stared at her with a smile.

Aoshi wiped his racket and stared at Kaoru and Enishi. "I hop Kamiya wins... Enishi's good at both badminton and soccer so he has speed and power." He thought.

"...but I support Kamiya."
