Disclaimer: still don't own the series or certain characters.
Thank you everyone for your reviews.
AN: ever since I posted chapter two I have been flocked with e-mails on my choice of names for certain fictitious characters. I just want to point out that it all will become very clear by the end of this story.

"Kenshin do you think I am a horrible person?" Kaoru asked him again, she looked into his eyes with a sincere look on her face.
"Miss Kaoru what kind of question is that?" Kenshin said scratching the back of his head.
"Kenshin I want you to be honest." She said hanging her head down
"No."
"No?" she looked at him "Why do you say no?" she looked as if she expected him if not wanted him to say 'yes'
He abandoned the food he had been chopping and put his arms around her. "Because, Miss Kaoru I have known and loved you for a while now and everyday I see you do things that tell me that you could never be a horrible person." He held her closer if not for comforting her, but for his own comfort, he had been so afraid to touch her lately, she had seemed so distant from him and everyone. He had been afraid that she might push him away from her.
Kaoru buried her self in the comfort of his arms and stayed there for a while. 'It feels like it's been so long since I have been happy.' She thought as she contently listened to his heart beat.
"Kenshin-"
"hmm?"
"Can w-" but Kaoru didn't get to finish a loud knocking came on the door of the gate. They pulled apart from each other, away from their moment of peace. "Who can that be this early in the morning?" Kaoru said out loud as she walked towards the gate. Kaoru opened the door and staring her in the face was the last person she had expected.
"Kenji!" she gasped and she quickly closed the door.
Yahiko had come out from cleaning the dojo to see what was going on "umm Kenshin what's going on?" He said as he stared at Kaoru who was at the moment boarding up the entryway. Kenshin shrugged he had no idea.
"Miss Kaoru what's-" but Kaoru interrupted Kenshin.
"Stop talking he might hear you" she whispered.
"KAORU?" yelled a voice on the other side of the now boarded gate. "Kaoru common let me in!"
"Over my dead body!" she shouted back
"Stop this Kaoru, you can't keep a guy from his own home!" he yelled back.
Kaoru turned ice cold at these words. "You have no proof!" she said clutching her fists.
"You wanna bet! I've got the-"
"Alright!" she yelled feeling defeated "Alright, you can come in." she started to take the boards from the door.
Kenshin and Yahiko stood there looking completely confused. They dared not to say anything Kaoru mad wasn't good but Kaoru mad at an unknown entity was worse.
Kaoru opened the gate and on the other side stood a man a little taller than Kenshin; the man had the same eyes as Kaoru and the same nose as well. The man smiled as he picked up his bags and walked through the gate.
"Wait." Kaoru said holding her arm out not letting the man pass. "Who said you were going to stay here?"
"I did." He replied simply.
A rage boiled up inside her she wanted to scream but she composed herself. "You can't stay here."
"Yes I can" he said a little more defiantly. The man looked as if he were thinking for a moment. "here how about this little miss assistant master why don't you and I test to see how much you have learned. If I win I stay here as long as I want and wherever I want. No ifs ands or buts from you. And if you win-"
"You leave and I never see your ugly face ever again." She said feeling a little more confident in herself.
The man smiled, "I hope you have gotten better seeing how you have two students" He looked at Yahiko and Kenshin and then realized something "Ohh I see you only have one student, and who is this o-"
"Don't even-they are my-my- charges." Kaoru said feeling a little flustered.
"Before I kick your butt I would like some breakfast. I was out in the rain all last night."
A spasm of seething anger flashed across her face. If she could only kill him, or at least send him across to the other side of the earth all of her problems would be solved.
"Oh and Kaoru please tell me that one of your, 'charges,' as you call them is making the meal. I know your cooking and I wouldn't want to lose to you just because I had a stomach ache." He said with a cold smirk.
Kaoru was disgusted "Fine, you know where to go, so go there and someone will bring you something." Kaoru started to walk off then she realized something, and she turned around to face Kenshin and Yahiko. "Yahiko get back to cleaning! And Kenshin come with me!" She was getting more frustrated by the minute and no one wanting to feel her wrath so they all obeyed her.
* * *
Now in the kitchen Kaoru and Kenshin where back to making breakfast again although the tone had changed from earlier this morning and they both could feel it.
"Miss Kaoru who is that person?" Kenshin asked trying to piece together what had just happened.
Kaoru looked down as if in shame. "That man... is my brother."
