Author's notes: I just thought of updating because I myself am excited to write one chapter! ^_^ Hope you all enjoy this chappie that has KK moments!! ^_^
Kaoru sighed and lied on her arms that were on her desk. "I'm so sleepy..." she whispered at Misao. "Ne, Misao-chan."
Misao turned to face her friend and blinked. "Nani? (What?)" she asked innocently.
"I...don't feel so good... I feel my body is as light as a feather and..."
"How unfortunate you are, Kaoru-chan! My drowsiness usually goes away!" Misao said and smiled.
"Thanks a lot for the 'advice', Misao-chan-the-greatest!" Kaoru said sarcastically and pouted.
Misao just giggled. "Dou itashimashita! (Don't mention it)" Misao whispered. "Don't worry, Kaoru-chan! Before the break is over, I'll bust you out of the school!" she murmured.
"Shh, Misao-chan! We sound like criminals, cutting school classes!" Kaoru retorted.
Misao was the one who pouted next. "De-mo (But), you said that you don't feel so good today because of lack of sleep. I'm just helping you." Misao whispered.
Kaoru stared at Misao for a moment. "You're right...and I feel a headache. Gosh, I think I won't be able to make it till the 5 o' clock bell." She murmured, turning her head towards the window. She massaged her temples and her eyes were half-lidded.
Misao turned away and focused her attention on Kenshin. "Why do I get the feeling I'm happy that Kaoru-chan's not feeling good?" she asked herself and stared at the redhead.
Kenshin was writing something on his notebook and glancing up at the blackboard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Mou! Where's Misao-chan??" Kaoru exclaimed, roaming around the hallway.
It was lunch break, and Misao just disappeared somewhere.
"Kaoru!" a voice called out.
Kaoru turned around. She blinked then smiled. "Oh, konnichiwa, Sou-chan!" Kaoru greeted.
Soujirou stopped running towards her and chuckled. "As I've said so many times, drop the 'chan', ok?" Soujirou said.
Kaoru nodded. "Gomen! I'm just used to it! What do you want me to call you?" Kaoru asked.
"Soujirou, of course." Soujirou said and smiled while staring at the lovely pools of sapphire.
"That's too long! Why don't we try- um, hmm, let me see- oh. Oh! Why don't we try using "Sou-kun"?" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Sou-kun??" Soujirou exclaimed too, but Kaoru didn't seem to notice that what Soujirou was saying is, "The sound of my name is pretty lame."
Kaoru pouted at Soujirou.
Soujirou became silent as he noticed the stare of Kaoru became a glare.
Seconds ticked by...
Kaoru's eyebrows went up and smiled. "Just kidding!" she exclaimed and laughed heartily.
Soujirou blinked, and then laughed with Kaoru.
After some second of laughing, Kaoru gasped for air. "Whoa... That was a good laugh!" she exclaimed and stretched her arms.
Soujirou nodded. "I haven't laughed like that for so long..." he whispered.
Kaoru looked at him and smiled sweetly. "Like the old times, yes?" she asked.
"Mochiron!" Soujirou exclaimed.
Kaoru brushed away some of her bangs covering her forehead. "So...why are you looking for me?" she asked.
"Eh?" Soujirou asked. He stared at Kaoru and then his face brightened. "Oh, that!! I almost forgot!" he exclaimed. "Have you seen Misao-san somewhere around here?"
Kaoru shook her head weakly, feeling her headache. "Uh...no... In fact, I'm looking for her too." She whispered.
"Hmmm..."
"Doushite? Why are you looking for Misao-chan?"
"She sent me a note that I'd meet her in the hallway in this time. But I don't know where she went though..." Soujirou whispered.
"To meet you??" Kaoru asked, not believing what her ears heard.
Soujirou nodded. "Nn. It's strange..." he whispered.
"It IS strange!" Kaoru exclaimed. "Why would she meet with Soujirou?" she thought.
"Kaoru-chan!! Seta-kun!!" a voice called.
Kaoru and Soujirou both turned around. "Misao-chan!!"
"Yapoo!" Misao exclaimed and smiled cheerfully at them.
"Misao-chan?? Where have you been?? I've been looking all over for you!!" Kaoru exclaimed, running towards Misao.
Misao smiled, and then turned her head towards Soujirou. "Konnichiwa!"
"Oh, konnichiwa..." Soujirou whispered.
"Ah, I'll talk to you later, Seta-kun!" Misao said and grabbed Kaoru's hand.
"O-Oi! What are you doing??" Kaoru asked.
"Ja ne!" Misao said and left the hallway quickly.
"MISAO-CHAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!" Kaoru exclaimed, and her voice faded slowly.
Soujirou just blinked. "What was that all about...?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"H-Hey! Let go of my arm, Misao-chan!!" Kaoru groaned. "It hurts!"
"Ah, gomen!!" Misao exclaimed. She let go of Kaoru's arm. "Ok, the coast is clear!" Misao exclaimed, winking at Kaoru.
"Eh??" Kaoru exclaimed.
Misao put her point finger near her lips. "Shh! Someone might hear us! Here's your bag... It's your chance to go home!" Misao murmured, giving Kaoru her bag.
"D-De-mo..."
"Do you still feel weak?"
"A little..."
"You must go home, Kaoru-chan. I'm worried about you... Gomen if I can't come with you..."
Kaoru stared at Misao and held her bag tightly. "Arigatoo, Misao-chan. I owe you one." Kaoru said and began making her way to the stairs.
Suddenly, the bell rung.
"Oh! I must get back to class! Bye, Kaoru-chan!" Misao exclaimed to Kaoru and ran towards the classroom.
Kaoru watched as Misao retreated. She sighed and went down the stairs.
Suddenly, Kenshin came from the downstairs from the school garden and saw Kaoru looking at the ground. "Ah! Kamiya, where are you going?" he asked.
Kaoru was surprised a little and tilted her head up. Her eyes widened when she saw who it is. "Ah! Himura!!" she exclaimed.
Kenshin walked closer to Kaoru. "Daijoubu ka, Kamiya? You don't look so good... You look pale..." Kenshin whispered.
Kaoru waved her hand in front of Kenshin and laughed nervously. "Ah... I'm not feeling so good so I'll go home..." she said while walking backwards towards the staircase. She didn't know where she was going and accidentally stepped on the edge of the stairs and tripped.
"AHH!!" Kaoru screamed, closing her eyes, waiting for the pain to reach her head, knowing that she would fall from the staircase-- head first.
"KAMIYA!!!!" Kenshin exclaimed and jumped towards Kaoru.
Kaoru's eyes opened wide when she heard the voice of Kenshin and was surprised when she realized that Kenshin was hugging Kaoru tightly, his hands and his head covering Kaoru's head, and making a landing-- head first.
"AH!" Kenshin moaned as his head hit the hard floor, Kaoru's head leaning on his chest.
Seconds passed. (Music cue: It's a bit old, but 'Somewhere in Time' fits here! ^_6)
Kaoru slowly opened her eyes and felt something warm around her. She hard a heartbeat and slowly sat up. She looked down and saw Kenshin unconscious, his head bleeding slightly. Kaoru covered her mouth as she gasped and tears fell down slowly. "KENSHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Kaoru slowly walked towards the school clinic with Kenshin, his arms draped over Kaoru's shoulder. "Kenshin..." she whispered, tears stinging her eyes yet again.
Kenshin was slowly regaining consciousness. "Uh..."
Kaoru smiled sadly and looked at Kenshin. "Himura... Yokatta..." she whispered.
Kenshin smiled warmly at her and then leaned on her shoulder.
Kaoru blushed crimson, and then shook her head. "Gomen nasai no arigatoo gozaimasu, Himura..." she whispered, looking down.
"What's the sorry for?" Kenshin murmured slowly.
"For letting you to be hurt!" Kaoru exclaimed, facing Kenshin with a serious face, but sad too. "If I just watched where I was going, you wouldn't be hurt like this..." she whispered softly.
"Don't worry about it. I was the one who decided to save you... After all, a man must protect a woman, right?" Kenshin said comfortingly.
Kaoru stared at his violet eyes and then her frown became a smile slowly. She nodded. "Arigatoo..." she said and looked up. "Here's the school clinic..."
"Before we get inside the clinic... I want to tell you something..." Kenshin whispered.
"What is it?" Kaoru whispered, getting excited. "Is this the scene in some movies that the man confesses his love for the woman??? Kaoru no baka!! Why are you thinking such foolish things right now?!" she thought.
"I was so pleased...when you called me by my first name..." Kenshin said and smiled teasingly.
Kaoru swallowed hard and turned away. "Ah... Um... Oh... That?? Gomen! I must've slipped!" she exclaimed and stepped inside the clinic.
Kenshin stared at her and smiled. "Whatever..."
Later...
"You've got a lump on your head! Did you hit your head?" the school doctor asked.
Kenshin nodded. "Ah."
"Does it hurt?" the doctor asked while touching the lump.
Kenshin winced softly. "H-hai..." he whispered.
"Hmm... You better get a rest, Himura-san!" the doctor said, smiling.
"Ah. Arigatoo... Ah! I almost forgot! You're sick too, right, Kamiya?" Kenshin asked.
Kaoru stopped breathing and felt like a block of ice just standing there. "Uh...ah..."
The school doctor went closely to Kaoru and touched her forehead. "You don't look so good..." she whispered.
"I've just got flu or something..." Kaoru whispered.
"Well, if that's the case, I guess you better rest here too!" the school doctor exclaimed.
Kaoru blinked. "Eh...?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Kaoru was still blushing crimson. "Kenshin is just in the room beside mine..." she thought and stood up. "Ah...Himura?" she called.
No answer.
Kaoru blinked and slid the curtain open that was the 'separator' for two rooms. She gasped softly when she saw Kenshin sleeping soundly.
Kaoru knelt at the floor, staring at Kenshin's face. "Whoa... This must be a dream... I can actually see Kenshin's sleeping face... His face and hair looks so soft..." she whispered and her right hand was getting nearer towards Kenshin's face.
Kaoru gulped and withdrew her hand. "What am I thinking? Why do I want to touch him?" she asked herself. "If only--"
Suddenly, the curtain opened. There, stood Shinomori Aoshi, staring at Kaoru.
Kaoru's eyes widened and wished that she'd do something dramatic like faint or scream. "AHHH?????" she thought.
Kenshin's eyes opened slowly. "Oh... You're here, Shinomori." He said and noticed Kaoru looking at Aoshi. "You're up already, Kamiya?" he asked.
Kaoru was speechless, but she nodded.
"Well, we have to go. Ki o tsukete, Kamiya! Ja na!" Kenshin said and stood up, and at the same time, left the room.
Before Aoshi followed Kenshin, he stared at Kaoru first then went away.
Kaoru's mouth fell open. "What if Shinomori says that I was staring at Kenshin's face??" she exclaimed.
----
Thought of Kaoru...
"She was trying to touch your face and tried to kiss you." Aoshi said.
"What?? Are you serious??!!" Kenshin exclaimed.
End of thought of Kaoru...
----
Kaoru's face landed flat on the clinic bed. She sighed and mumbled some words.
...
...
Oh, cruel world!

"Shh, Misao-chan! We sound like criminals, cutting school classes!" Kaoru retorted.
Misao was the one who pouted next. "De-mo (But), you said that you don't feel so good today because of lack of sleep. I'm just helping you." Misao whispered.
Kaoru stared at Misao for a moment. "You're right...and I feel a headache. Gosh, I think I won't be able to make it till the 5 o' clock bell." She murmured, turning her head towards the window. She massaged her temples and her eyes were half-lidded.
