WHATS WITH HIGH SCHOOL ANYWAY
Chapter 2: a day in the life of the Kamiya's
I did use some kingdom hearts characters in this chappy only because I'm not good at making up my own ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Kenshin, Kingdom hearts or any of the characters in this story unless I make one up, but I wish I did. Blablablablabla okay am I done now?
**************************************************************
As soon as Kaoru had gotten home she collapsed on the bed. "What have I gotten myself into? I can't cook at all; and if Kenshin finds out, I'm dead. He'll probably want me to do all the cooking because I'm a girl." Kaoru pulled a pillow over her face and groaned.
"Hey busu, pick up the phone!" Yahiko hollered up the stairs.
"Don't call me a busu, douji!" Kaoru yelled back at him.
"I AM NOT A CHILD!" Yahiko protested as he stomped away.
Kaoru sighed and picked up the phone, "Hello?" There was a high pitched squeal at the other end. "Oh, hey, Misao. What's up?"
"You won't believe what happened. AOSHI TALKED TO ME!" Misao screamed from the other end of the phone.
Kaoru winced from how loud her voice had been. ~Does everybody have to talk so loud?~ she thought, "Really? What did he say?"
"Well you see that's the strange part. He asked if I was this hyper all the time, but at last he talked to me, right?" Misao said.
"Yea, I guess. But I have an even bigger problem. Kenshin is coming over here tomorrow so we can start cooking, AND I CANT COOK! " Kaoru said.
"Yea, that is a problem. What are you going to do?" Misao asked.
"I have no idea; that's why I'm asking you," Kaoru said
"Well, me and Aoshi are just going to one of those fancy restaurants to buy some food. Figure we could make it look like we did it," Misao said, "but you can get Kenshin to make your food.
"Kenshin, you kidding me, like he would know how to cook," Kaoru said sarcastically.
"Um Kaoru.... Kenshin's dad is a professional chef and Kenshin has won the junior chef's competition for 3 years in a row," Misao said.
"You're kidding me! This is terrible!" Kaoru whined.
"Why is that? He can make all the food and you can be done." Misao asked.
"He's a guy and he can still cook better than me. This is so embarrassing." Kaoru said.
"Kaoru, Yahiko can cook better than you can, and he's only 10," Misao reminded her.
"Oh, yea, hehe," Kaoru said, sweat dropping. "Well, I'll see you later Misao, I'm going to bed early," she said hanging up the phone. ~What am I going to do~ Kaoru gowned and pulled a pillow over her face. Soon she was fast asleep with dreams of her, Misao, and Sano's exciting childhood adventures.
* **
The next morning Kaoru woke up and looked at her clock, "Holy crap, its 8! I'm late!" she said jumping out of bed. But her feet got caught in her covers and she landed flat on her face. She cursed as she rubbed her nose. Kaoru pulled some clothes out of her closet and headed off to her bathroom. After a nice hot shower she got dressed and headed down stairs. But no one was down there. There was no breakfast set out and no mother hollering at Yahiko... ~wait I had a hot shower this morning~ Kaoru thought. She ran up to her brother's room and there she saw Yahiko sleeping away. "Yahiko, wake up! We are late for school!" Kaoru said shaking him.
"What are you talking about busu? It's Saturday," Yahiko moaned.
Kaoru ran back to her room and looked at the calendar, "Great, it's Saturday." She sighed as she headed outside to get the mail. Propped against the mail box was a package addressed to Kaoru. She grabbed it and ran back inside and up to her room. "I wonder who its from?" Kaoru said as she tore it open. Inside was a beautiful black dress. It was made form silk and had spaghetti straps. Attached to the dress was a card and it read Dear Kaoru, I thought you might need a little cheering up since it is the beginning of the school year. Love grandma. Kaoru smiled as she read the card. "Thanks grandma, but it's too beautiful to wear," Kaoru said to herself," I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it on though." After she had slipped the dress on she put on a pair of diamond earrings that matched. Then she sat down on the bed and brushed her hair out. "I wish I could look like this all the time. Thank you so much grandma, it is beautiful." Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Kaoru made her way downstairs forgetting all about the dress. Kaoru opened the door, revealing Kenshin and Sano.
"Wow. Is that you, Jo-chan," Sano said with astonishment.
Kenshin just stared at her. ~Oh my gosh; She looks..... beautiful~ he thought.
"Ummmm what are you guys doing here?" Kaoru asked blushing.
"Well I was dropping Kenshin off so you guys can work on the assignment," Sano said. "I'll pick you up latter, Kenshin, and you might also want to help Jo-chan with her kissing skills. They say a person kisses as well as they cook and Jo-chan can't cook at all." Sano said with a big smile on his face. Kenshin gave Sano a death glare. As for Kaoru, she picked up a bokken that was leaning against the wall and hit Sano as hard as she could. "Guess even if you look like a lady you sure don't act like one," Sano said holding his shoulder. That caused him to be hit again. "Okay, okay, I'm leaving. I was just joking around," he said jumping in his car and leaving Kenshin and Kaoru alone.
Kaoru shut the door and sighed as she led Kenshin to the kitchen. "I'll be right back, I have to change. Make your self at home," and with that she ran up the stairs to change.
Kenshin laid his jacket and some books down on the couch, then sat down. He glanced down at his watch. "What's taking her so long? She's been up there for 15 minutes," he said as he slouched down into the couch. After a few minutes of boredom Kenshin decided to look around the house. As he walked into the kitchen he noticed a door he hadn't seen before. This door was not like any other door, it was made from wood and what seemed like thick paper or cloth, but the strangest part was that it didn't have a handle on it. Kenshin walked up to do door, "How do you open it if it doesn't have a handle?" he said, questioning himself.
"Like this," Kaoru said sliding the door open.
"Holy crap! You scared me half to death; don't do that," Kenshin said holding his heart like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Kaoru giggled, "Me, scare the amazing Kenshin? That's ridiculous," she said falling into a laugh.
Kenshin gave her an I'll-get-you-back-and-you-wont-like-it look and walked into the room. The walls and floor were made of wood that looked like it was just about to fall apart but it had a nice smell that came from all the years of use. On the walls were bokkens and several plaques were lined up on the wall, but one caught his eye, it read Kamiya Kaoru assistant master of Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu. "You teach kendo?" Kenshin asked.
"Yea, can we start cooking already?" Kaoru said walking into the kitchen.
"Sure thing, babe," Kenshin said fallowing her and sliding the door shut.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Kaoru yelled at him.
Kenshin smirked and walked up beside her, "Well, I guess I should teach you how to cook today shouldn't I," he said as kaoru crossed her arms, "cookies sound good?"
"Fine with me," Kaoru said as she pulled out all the stuff they needed. After about 45 minutes they had them made and in the oven. Kenshin and Kaoru were almost done cleaning up the kitchen. Kaoru stood up on one of the counters to put away some flavoring when all of a sudden a cat jumped out of the cupboard, knocking Kaoru off the counter. Kenshin turned around just in time to see her fall and jump after her. Kaoru opened her eyes to see that she was tightly embraced in Kenshin's arms. She looked up at him who was staring down at her. There was an awkward silence between the two as they stared at each other.
"You okay?" Kenshin asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. Thanks for catching me," Kaoru said with a thin blush on her face.
"No problem," Kenshin said setting her down.
All of a sudden a child's voice broke in, "Kaoru-dono!" a little boy said as he rushed into the room and into Kaoru's arms.
Kaoru smiled as she picked him up and said, "Hi Tidus, you're here early today." Two more people walked into the room who looked to be about 14, "Good evening Sora, Kairi." Kaoru said.
"Evening Kaoru-dono," they said in unison.
"I'm sorry, Kenshin, I guess that will have to be the end of our cooking lessons today; I didn't expect my class to get here so early. Please excuse me," Kaoru said as the group walked into a back room to change. Kenshin sat down on the floor inside the dojo to wait for Sano to come pick him up. As soon as he did, a young man seeming around the age of 18 or 19 walked into the dojo. The man came and sat down by Kenshin.
"Hi, I'm Riku." the young man said. "Are you a new student?"
"No, I'm a friend of Kaoru. I'm just waiting for my ride," Kenshin said.
"Kaoru-dono is an amazing lady, you could learn a lot from her. Although she doesn't fit in with other people, she is a much better person than anyone could guess," Riku said.
"How can you call her a lady; she is only 16?" Kenshin asked.
"She may be only 16, but she is forced to act much older and act like a mother to Yahiko. She was made to grow up before she needed to. Watch her closely and understand what I mean." Riku said standing up as everyone came into the room.
Kaoru walked into the room with a smile on her face, holding the hand of the little boy who had a gi and hakamas on, that were to big for him. "I see you have met Riku," she said, her smile growing wider. "Let's get started," Kaoru said as she handed every one a bokken, but what amused Kenshin the most was the bokken she gave Tidus. It was much smaller than the others but still looked too big for him.
Throughout the lessons Kenshin kept a close eye on Kaoru, trying to understand what Riku was talking about. After about an hour, everybody was leaving and Kenshin glanced at his watch. It was 2:30! ~Where the heck is Sano?! I'll have to pound him when he gets back for not picking me up~ Kenshin thought.
After everyone had left Kaoru sat down by Kenshin. "Wasn't Sano supposed to pick you up by now?" Kaoru asked.
"Yea, but knowing him, he forgot. Mind if I stay here for awhile? I live on the other side of town and I don't think I could walk," Kenshin said.
"You can stay here as long as you like," Kaoru said with a smile. After a few moments of talking they heard someone scream and another person yelling. Kaoru's happy face turned to horror. Both Kenshin and Kaoru ran to the living room to see Yahiko curled up and shaking on the floor and a burly man standing over him.
"What are you doing here!" Kaoru yelled at the man.
"Were is she?" the man said.
"She's not here right now," she said as clam as she could, but Kenshin could tell there was fear in her voice.
"I said were is she!" the man said hitting Kaoru across the face. Kenshin watched in horror as he ran to Kaoru who was lying on the floor.
"I don't know," Kaoru wept.
"I'll be back, and she better be here. If she's not your going to get it!" he yelled smashing a flower pot on his way out slamming the door behind him.
Kaoru picked her self up and rushed over to Yahiko, forgetting about her own pain. She slowly uncurled him and revealed a bloody nose, a black eye and a couple of scrapes. A tear leaked out of her eye as she stared at what the man had done. She motioned for Kenshin to pick him up as she led him to Yahiko's room. Kenshin shed Yahiko of his shirt revealing more burses, as Kaoru came back with some wet rags. After they had applied bandages and a few ice packs to the boy they left him alone so he could sleep. They sat down at the table and Kenshin handed Kaoru an ice pack for her face.
"Thanks," she said.
Kenshin nodded his head in response, "Don't you think we should call the police or something?"
"I can't," Kaoru said looking down.
"Why not? Men like that don't deserve the freedom to walk the streets" Kenshin said.
"Because, he's my father," Kaoru said sobbing
Kenshin wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "I'm sorry," he said finally understanding what Riku had meant. We heard a nock on the door and we both looked up fearing it was her dad.
Sano walked in when we didn't answer the door. "Hey why didn't yo..." he said never finishing his sentence. Sano looked around the room and then saw us. He ran over to us and bent down by Kaoru, "Jo-chan, what did he do to you? Where is he? What did he want? Where's Yahiko?" Sano said worried.
"I'm fine; don't worry about me. I have no idea were he is. He left about and hour ago looking for my mom," Kaoru said.
"What about Yahiko?" Sano asked.
"I'll show you," Kenshin said leading Sano up to his room. They came back down minutes latter, Sano having anger in his eyes.
"Did he say anything else?" Sano asked.
"Yea, he said he would be back." Kaoru said.
"Well, he wont find anything when he comes because you aren't going to be here," Sano said with a look of determination in his eyes.

I'm really really sorry for not updating sooner, but 5 reviews didn't relay motivate me to Wright fast. To make it up to you I totally corrected my first chappy. I had my tutor look at it and we corrected a lot of stuff. I also made this chappy longer it cam out to 7 pages on my writer. I'll try to get a new chappy up every week. Think you for reading my story. ROCK ON!
PS. I'm looking for someone to grammar and spell check my story before I post it on the e-net. So if you're interested contact me at kairi_sora16@hotmail.com
