Kaoru collapsed, fully exhausted, onto the bed in the mansion she, Megumi, Misao, and the 25 bachelors shared for the time of the show. She was still clad in the dining dress she had worn earlier that evening, but she had kicked off the uncomfortable shoes. With a sigh, she stood to change into her pajamas. Once the dress was hung up in her closet, her make- up was scrubbed off, and her hair was in a comfortable braid that hung down her back, the feel of deep dread hit her. She had survived the first filming, but tomorrow there would be more. Not only tomorrow, but several times every day for the next 2 months or so. She scowled, hating the feeling that the next few weeks would be painful, and even more unfortunately, entirely unavoidable. She was doomed.
~*~*~
The next morning, Kaoru was awoken by a chipper Misao and a disgruntled Megumi, who Kaoru assumed had just been woken up herself by Misao. For the first time, she questioned having her room next to the energetic host. The three were going to sneak out for a 6 am (Megumi looked extremely annoyed at the time) breakfast before taping began. Today, they would first film Misao and Megumi discussing which men they felt would be best for Kaoru, then Misao telling Kaoru who her first three one-hour "talking" dates were. The rest of the episode would be filled with pre- taped interviews with the bachelors.
But that was AFTER the 6 am breakfast.
Kaoru, annoyed at the surprise plan, ripped off her boxers and pulled on a more appropriate sweat skirt and tugged a plain white t-shirt over her tank top. Megumi looked rumpled and grumpy, so different from how anyone was used to seeing her. Kaoru would've giggled, had she a sense of humor at 5:30 am.
The three headed out in Misao's blue-violet Volkswagon Beetle to a small diner just outside of Kyoto (A/N: Ok, so there aren't exactly mom-and- pop diners in Japan. . . imagination!) and ordered eggs, bacon, and coffee while Misao energetically pumped her new friends for info.
"So?" she asked Kaoru excitedly, almost bouncing in anticipation. "What'd you think of your bachelors? Anything look like a possibility?" Misao's eyes were huge. Kaoru glared into her coffee mug.
"No." she said bluntly, and Megumi chuckled, slightly more friendly with the intake of caffeine.
"Don't think she'll ever admit to liking a guy, Misao," she warned. "Kaoru's a hardcore man-hater, not one of those wimpy ones."
"Oh but there must've been a FEW that you thought were cute!" Misao pressed, and Kaoru sighed.
"Of course, Misao, they were all nice enough. I just don't date."
"You do now," Misao and Megumi replied in unison with smug grins.
"Not by personal choice." She shot back. Misao scrunched up her face in concentration.
"Let's see. . . how about that yummy Shinomori Aoshi?" she asked. Kaoru wrinkled her nose.
"He was nice looking. I guess. He kinda seemed overly quiet." At her reply, Misao let out a huge sigh.
"Oh, thank GOODNESS you're not into him! I'll let you two in on a little secret: I am." Misao looked dreamily up at the ceiling and Megumi and Kaoru exchanged glances.
"We noticed." Megumi said with a sly grin. "Maybe if you drooled a little more over him, he'd take some interest in you."
"Hey! I don't need to DROOL to get Shinomori-san's attention!" Misao's energy had gone from infatuation to infuriation. Kaoru put a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back into her seat.
"Megumi," she said quickly. "was there any guy you took particular notice in?" Misao and Megumi's argument was instantly forgotten and Megumi grinned.
"No, nothing in particular." Her grin broadened. "However, that Zanza character seemed to take a particular interest in me. He was sneaking looks at me all night." She couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction, and Misao adopted an evil grin of her own.
"Speaking of sneaking looks, Miss Kaoru seemed to be doing that a lot."
"I had to look at all of them, Weasel-girl." Kaoru snapped.
"I could've sworn you looked at that Himura fellow four or five times more than necessary." At Misao's statement, Megumi looked at her friend with interest.
"You mean violent Tanuki was checking out a guy?" she said in disbelief. "He must've been special, then."
"I was NOT checking out Himura-san!" Kaoru's face flamed in anger.
"Awww, she's blushing!" Megumi teased. Misao giggled, and Kaoru set a level glare on both of them.
"I don't know how I can make it clearer that for ANY of these rich snobs, I. AM. NOT. INTERESTED."
End of conversation.
~*~*~
As Megumi was getting made up in her preparation room, there was a knock at her door. The make-up artist answered, and Zanza stepped in.
"May I talk to Miss Takani alone?" he asked. The make-up artist raised a single eyebrow, but nodded and left the two of them in her room. Megumi turned in her chair, annoyed.
"Strange men aren't supposed to visit women's dressing rooms before a show." She said, face straight. Zanza gave a small smile.
"I'll argue with you about that later, but right now I've got something important to talk to you about." The millionaire's voice was so solemn, something that seemed entirely out of character for him. Megumi nodded, listening seriously.
"What is it?" she asked, all acts and flirtations aside. Zanza pulled a chair up close to her. This was too important to talk about loosely.
"There is a conspiracy that may result in Little Missy- I mean Miss Kamiya- that may result in her death. Before you freak out, one of the bachelors isn't really in it for the game- he's from Japanese Protection Services, and he's here solely to protect her." Megumi had paled considerably during Zanza's speech, and the idea that there was a man there to protect her friend didn't help much.
"That's insane! Who'd want to kill Kaoru, and why? And who's protecting her, anyway? YOU?" Megumi's voice was at a level so angry that Zanza wanted to step back. He glared at her.
"No, not me. I will assist him, but its his job, not mine. I'm the one who notified Japanese Intelligence about the conspiracy." He was annoyed as hell. He was trying to help Little Missy and the fox, not the opposite.
"Well, who is it, idiot?" Megumi demanded.
"I'm GETTING there!" Zanza snapped, impatiently running his hand through his spiky brown hair. "The man protecting her is Himura Kenshin." Upon hearing the news, Megumi stared at him.
"HIMURA? The little red-headed one?" She asked. Zanza shrugged.
"I reacted the same way, but he's the best Japanese Protection has. He has yet to prove his skills to me, but he's a good guy." Zanza had stood and was preparing to leave. He stopped at the door.
"Oh, and call me Sano."
~*~*~
The news not only shocked Megumi, but made her suddenly loathe the whole ordeal. That stupid company had tricked her, and now her best friend's life was in danger because of it.
She was pissed.
Kaoru couldn't know. Megumi didn't even know if she had the heart to tell her friend, but she knew one thing for sure. Kaoru would make it out of this reality t.v. show alive, and happy, is Megumi had anything to do with it. She would go out of her way to make sure it happened.
And the first step of that was that she had to keep Himura Kenshin in the game at all costs.
~*~*~
Megumi and Misao sat at the patio table on the deck of the mansion where the entire game took place. Each was dressed well and made up to look refreshed and beautiful. They were given coffee, tea, and fancy toast to eat, but they couldn't eat it till they were on camera. That was nearly torture for Misao. One last minute for hairdressers to make sure their hair was shiny and flowing, and the cameras rolled.
"Welcome to Extreme Dating Challenge!" Misao said cheerfully as the camera zoomed in on her. "Today Kaoru's best friend, Megumi, and I are analyzing each of Kaoru's suitors and deciding which we think would be best for her." Misao turned to Megumi. "So, Miss Megumi, what are your thoughts so far?"
Megumi took a sip of coffee thoughtfully, and set it down.
"As Kaoru's best friend, I know how difficult she's going to be. The guy for her is going to be the one who's not scared of her and isn't going to get tired of gentling her. She's definitely a challenge when it comes to dating. But the truth is, if a guy isn't willing to put the time into winning her, they aren't worth her." She finished. Misao nodded.
"I agree. Miss Kaoru's going to give these men hell!" she giggled. "But personality-wise, who do you think is most compatible with her?"
"I haven't gotten to know any of these men very well, but there were a few that caught my eye for her. Seta-san, Himura-san, Tokashi-san, and Kame-san were the main ones." Megumi replied, taking a dainty bite of her toast.
"Interesting! I'd picked out Himura-san and Tokashi-san for her as well. They all seem to have the calm, patient attitudes that would be just right for taming Miss Kaoru."
"Exactly. Kaoru acts tough but she really just needs someone to understand her and work with her and get to know her. Himura-san in particular seems to have the patience for the task. And in reality, it would be him winning something." Megumi said seriously, though she felt like she was spewing b-s. Misao grinned and nodded enthusiastically.
"Its funny that you say that, Miss Megumi, because we had compatibility specialists compare Miss Kaoru's personality with those of all the bachelors, and the top three included Mr. Himura. Amano Tokashi was another, and also one of your picks, and the last was one of my top picks for Miss Kaoru: Mr. Shinomori." When Misao told her this, Megumi only stared at her friend for a moment in disbelief. Was it really true, that Kaoru was extremely compatible with Mr. Shinomori? Megumi HIGHLY doubted it. A tiny smirk graced her face as she realized that Misao had rigged the compatibility tests.
"Mr. Shinomori?" Megumi asked, feigning ignorance. "That surprises me."
"Yes, well," Misao said with an airy wave of her hand. "Shinomori- san, Himura-san, and Tokashi-san are Miss Kaoru's best bets." Misao inconspicuously angled herself so that she was facing partially towards the camera and partially towards Megumi. "Why don't you go get her, so we can reveal her first hour-long dates to her?" she suggested. Megumi nodded.
"That sounds like a good idea." She said. She stood and bowed politely before walking off camera and towards the mansion to get Kaoru. When Megumi found Kaoru, she was waiting anxiously in her room. She stood nervously when Megumi walked in.
"Need me so soon?" she asked shakily. Megumi rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, Tanuki. Quit being so camera-shy, its annoying me. They just want to get your reaction to finding out who your first three dates are, and then you're done for today."
"Seems sort of pointless." Kaoru replied, but followed her friend anyway. When they were approaching the deck, they saw that Misao was talking to the camera.
". . .the three names that Miss Megumi draws randomly will be the names of the men Kaoru is first destined to meet. Here they are now!" Kaoru took a deep breath as she and Megumi walked on camera.
"Good morning, Miss Misao. How are you?" she asked. Misao beamed at her.
"Wonderful! And you?"
"Great."
"That's great. Right now, Miss Megumi is going to draw three slips of paper which will decide who you are seeing tomorrow. Are you ready?" Misao's energy was amusing, and Kaoru couldn't help but giggle.
"Ready as ever," she said. Misao pulled a box up from under the table with a small hole just big enough to fit a hand in in the top. She held it out to Megumi ceremoniously, and Megumi reached in. She handed the first slip of paper to Misao.
"First date: Seta Soujiro." The camera zoomed in on Kaoru's face, and she found she didn't know how to react. She didn't even know the man, afterall. She smiled weakly. This was going to be a very long reality t.v. experience.
*~*~*
A/N: Gah, that was a painful chapter to write. Next one will be more fun, I promise. Kaoru talks to Soujiro(yay!), and some other guys we don't care about(boo!)! We hear more about Kenshin (yay!) and. . . other stuff happens (yay!).
RK-128- * tackles * Loot! This chapter kinda sucked a lot, but I'm really excited for everything that's going to happen. Aoshi and Misao, in particular. . . * rubs hands together evilly * I can't believe you're getting so into this, you silly nut. Merci beaucoup, mon amie ( . Are you ready? Ahhhh! No!!!!!!
Wa'lie- hehehe, thanks so much for giving this story undue credit. I'm glad you like it. I try to make things as long as I can, but I'm not a length person. . . if things get too long, I stop having fun with them.
Yotaka- I know what the real world is (. I think that show's retarded, but it could never be, with Kenshin characters. I should check that out. And about Kaoru and Kenshin falling in love. . . don't worry about that. It'll happen. It will take time, but I won't be as anal about the length of time for this story. I'm so excited for them.
Bishie Chaser- I LOVE your name. Aren't we all? It means very much to me that you think I'm talented, and I'm so glad you like this story. Thanks.
Lady Galadria- Heh. Heh. Heh. We shall see what Sano decides to do, muahahahaha! Ahem. Thanks for being so nice and reviewing (
Luli451- I'm actually pretty proud of this idea. Of course, its got, like, 800 things that inspired it, like a million dating shows and Rurouni Kenshin (duh) and lots of other things... I'm so glad you like my story so far. I hope you keep enjoying it.
