Fight for my love

Good Advice

It was a normal day at the Kamiya dojo; Kenshin doing the laundry, Sano doing nothing in particular, and Kaoru's patience running out with Yahiko. "Do it right Yahiko! Place your left foot a little farther from your right" Kaoru had been scolding Yahiko all morning because he didn't do it right, even though she had instructed him like a thousand times. He looked kind of distracted that morning. "well it's not my fault you're such a bad teacher busu!"

"What!!, you will pay for that Yahiko-CHAN" Yahiko was about to reproach to that but then felt the infamous boken come landing on his head.

"You still don't get anything through that thick head of yours," Kaoru was fuming with anger, Yahiko was just too annoying sometimes but she did have to admit that she loved him that way and figured that she always will, Yahiko had become very much part of her dysfunctional family, so much that she considered him like her little bro. "100 strokes, and I want them done by the time I have finished bathing" that ought to teach him to answer me back. Kaoru was now facing Kenshin, she was about to tell him to prepare her bath but was caught staring at him, in her eyes he looked very cute almost childish, she wondered if he had a good childhood, apparently not but she figured something must have crossed into his life and made a difference. Kenshin felt eyes on him while he was doing the laundry, he looked from the corner of his eye to see it was Kaoru staring at him, 'Kaoru-dono is so beautiful, I wish I could caress her hair, her face, her long slender... No baka kenshin you shouldn't be thinking like that about Kaoru-dono.'

You're a man, or I least I think you are, that pink gi really doesn't look manly

'the point please'

All I'm saying is that you have the right to think that about her, sooner or later she will be MINE so get used to calling her our woman

'Battousai do me a favor'

what do you want?

'shut up! And stop talking about Kaoru-dono like that!'

fine fine, sheesh you are a wimp

Kaoru noticed the sudden change of faces, He was a little weird sometimes, the smell of soap must be getting to him, but she love him like that: her cute face changing rurouni!. she giggled at that thought, she could imagine Kenshin changing faces in the middle of the street but even then she would still love him.

She didn't notice that Sano had snuck up on her with a your-so-hopelessly- in-love expression plastered all over his face. "Having fun in dream land Jou-chan?, I swear if you look at poor Kenshin like that a little longer you'll bore holes right through him!" Sano had a smirk on his face, proof that he was enjoying the teasing. Kaoru woke up form her daydreaming and was now blushing red with Sano's wake up call, she cursed mentally at the realization that the rooster head had caught her red-handed, she made a note to self to always be on guard when day dreaming; although that didn't make sense she just brushed it off.

Sano also noticed the way Kenshin had a distant look on his face, he knew Kenshin was thinking about her too 'those two love doves, they fly in the wrong direction, hiding their feelings towards each other, wait was that poetry?, man I have to cut on the sake, well a little, a very little amount, ok none whatsoever' he was the hopeless Sano everyone knew and no one expected him to change, but then again nobody would want him to change.

It was late in the afternoon and Kaoru, Kenshin, Yahiko, Megumi, and of course, Sano where eating the food that Kenshin prepared because they refused letting Kaoru cook this time, they would not go through the incident that had happened with the lobster the past month. Apparently Kaoru had saved some money to cook lobster and to invite all of her friends to have a small party, but trouble started as the lobsters in their plates had been moving and one of them was about to bite Sano's finger off. Kenshin found the source of the problem and said that the lobsters where not cooked well and they where left very little time in the boiling water, everybody sweatdroped and went to the akabeko instead.

"When will you stop ripping off food from me Sano? Its about time you get some food for yourself or at least win SOMETHING when you're gambling" Kaoru was serving everybody at the table, even though it had been a small one they all enjoyed being together eating the food that was prepared. Even Kaoru enjoyed Sano's company but she wouldn't admit it in public.

"Hey gimme a break here Jou-chan, it's not as easy as you say it is, gambling is very hard and the game is about skill and intelligence but most of all luck" Sano said as a matter-of-factly. "Well it's obvious you lack of all those, especially the intelligence part" Megumi had popped her fox ears out again, laughing at her remarkshe just loved teasing the rooster-head, heck who doesn't?

"Whatever Foxlady, Hey Kenshin I wanna talk to you 'bout something important" "Oro? What is it Sano?" "It's nothing we can talk about right here" Sano said emphasizing the HERE part, but he played it cool and didn't look at anyone else he just knew he was getting death glares from everyone except Kenshin. Kenshin seemed confused 'what would Sano want to talk about that is so important he cannot say it in front of everyone?'

It's probably about a war or a problem of the government and they need our help, since they can't do anything themselves

'you are always hoping for war Battousai, your hopeless' Kenshin sighed

Well at least I'm not wearing a PINK gi! , I dress like a man

Kenshin decided to drop the 'conversation' with himself because now everyone was looking at him in a very weird like manner. "Alright Sano" and with that everyone ate quietly, it seems a miracle but everyone was lost in their thoughts, except a certain raccon girl who had a smirk on her dace while eating.

The next day in the morning Kenshin went to visit Sano so he could talk to him about the important thing he told him over dinner yesterday.

"Hello? Sano? Are you there? I came to talk about what you said over dinner yesterday." Knock the door down I bet 50 yen that he still doesn't wake up

'no I can't knock Sano's door down!'

why not? It would be fun and then you can let me out and I'll scare him, imagine the rooster's face! Jajajaja, Oh no!

'what is it?'

'Better yet! We could take a picture of him when he wakes up he will be all freaked out! Jajaja, so how 'bout it?

' I am not knocking Sano's door down and I will not play silly pranks on him like that'

life was better when I was around

'yeah right, your face was even more serious than Aoshi! They should have called you stone face jajaja'

Get over it rurouni, I'm the funny one here

"have you forgotten the way back to the mental hospital?" When Kenshin turned around he saw an old lady standing there a bit preoccupied. "OROOOOOOOO!!" Kenshin went straight to the floor, falling anime style. "ok, I think I'll leave you now ok? Be careful and I hope you find your way back." Then the old lady got closer to him and said in a very low manner just so that he could hear "Don't worry honey those little voices will go away just keep on fighting them" the old lady gave him a wink and with that she left. "ORORORO!!!!!!" Kenshin face faltered this time, he hadn't gotten the meaning of that sentence until a few seconds later. 'this is all your fault Battousai!'

hey don't blame it on me I'm not the one who is making faces when I speak to you and acting all weird in public

'YOU ,made me do it!!'

yeah right rurouni, keep telling yourself that

Just then Kenshin was about to reply to his other half when Sanosuke opened the door.

"What's wrong? I heard a lot of oros and I figured it was you, hey did a man try to hit on you again? Just because you have long hair and the looks of a woman doesn't mean that you ARE a woman!" Sano had a look of indignation now even though he had just woken up and he looked like crap.

"OROROR! No Sano it is not that what happened, let's just forget about it ok?" "Ok buddy what ever you say, but I just want to make clear if ANYONE ANYONE tries to..."

"I got the point Sano" Kenshin had cut him off he didn't want to be remembered of that horrible experience in the ally, just the thought of that long beard and that awful breath he had... it was enough to send shivers up his spine, not a very good experience at all. "So what did you want to talk about yesterday?" asked Kenshin when he was sitting down at the rather messy floor that Sano had, it was obvious he didn't like to clean up. "OH yeah I had almost forgotten, now Kenshin I don't want to get you all freaked out on this but it is necessary that I tell you." Kenshin just nodded "Ok, are you ready for this?" Sano just got a nod as a response. "I think that you should make a move on Jou-chan!", Sano said with excitement that was obviously not necessary.

"ORORORO, Sano!! I thought that it was something important, like someone was having trouble or was in trouble" Kenshin had seriously expected something like that. ( I bet that you thought that too huh?) "Well that is the thing Kenshin you don't take this seriously, you think you're unworthy of Jou-chan and I know that isn't true!!,"Sano said in a kind of pleading voice, he had once talked to kenshin about women and how he doesn't understand them, well they were taking and the subject just popped in (yeah right!!!!).

"Sano, you are my best friend and that's why I told you about my feelings about Kaoru, but I also told you about my feelings towards myself" "I know, I know but I just have to do something about it. I mean you love her, she loves you what is the problem in that?" Kenshin realized something; Sano had said that Kaoru loved him back, "Kaoru told you that she loves me?" Kenshin said in mayor disbelief. "YES!!" Sano said throwing his hands up in the air, but when he saw Kenshin's lifted eyebrow he went lowering his arms "Maybe?" and lowering them "A little?" And lowering them "Ok so she didn't tell me exactly, but It's obvious!!. It's a sure bet!" Sano said with great belief. "sigh, oh Sano I wish it were that easy to tell her, I've been meaning to but when I see her I wish not to intrude in her life and I think that things are just fine the way they are" Kenshin said with a downward look in his eyes, he really had been trying to tell her but he just chickened out in the end.

"That's the thing Kenshin she thinks that you don't love her because you never make a move, except when she's in the bathtub and you always come in running in to "check" if she is alright, but my point is that you are the man and YOU have to make the move!"

Wearing that PINK gi I don't think he looks like a man

'You always come in the most unfortunate times don't' you?'

Whatever

"First of all Sano I do not go running into her bathtub just to see her, I am really worried about her she stays way too long in there, and secondly I think that I will follow your advice, it's the first time I see you speak with so much determenation, ok I will do it" Kenshin said with a look of half determination and half of fear, after all he WAS Sano and he HAD said it was a sure bet, so that couldn't be any good. And oh how right he was...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally finished chapter one!!!!!! (dances around throwing flowers that just appeared out of nowhere) I know it's kinda short but it's my first chapter and my first time, but I will make the next chapter a little longer k?
