OK hello people, I'm back with chapter number 2!!!! Wow, I first thought that this fanfic. Was gonna be a one shot but I decided to make I longer, I hope you like this story and this chapter, see ya.

Disclamer:

ok I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, I just own the ideas expressed in this humble story. Please do not sue for I have only one cent.

Sano: hey Jouko-chan you really did it right this time.

ME: only because my lawyer is pointing a gun at me and if I don't say it right well lets just say I'm not gonna be that pretty as I am now

Sano: oh ok, bye then

And now on with the show

Preparations preparations

It was early in the morning and the smell of a VERY good breakfast flooded Kaoru's bedroom, she woke up with her stomach pleading for just one bite of that delicious food someone was cooking in the kitchen.

'I sure hope Kaoru-dono likes this meal. I'm preparing it with my secret recipe' Sano had been talking to Kenshin about the things that he should do before he told Kaoru his feelings, but he only explained the first part of the plan, he told him to be very nice to Kaoru, attend her in every way, pay full attention to her and to her ONLY, he emphasized that he should not do the laundry cause "that would distract you from her needs". So Kenshin decided that he would pay full attention to her and he would start very early by making her an excellent breakfast.

well, well well the Rurouni is making breakfast with one of his secret recipies, you think your gonna get her with a simple breakfast?

'butt out of this Battousai, it's none of your business'

well sorry to inform you that my MANLYHOOD is very much of my business! Real men don't and I repeat don't cook for women, it's totally the whole way around they have to cook for us!!

'whatever Battousai, I will not let you ruin my day with Kaoru-dono'

this is how you make a woman fall for you: first you see her without her "garments" and then you say: oh I'm so sorry, but to make things even I'll show you the WHOLE me, that'll sweep her off her feet.

'you cannot treat Kaoru-dono like that!! And stop talking about her like if she were a regular woman, she is highly unique. That would be very manly and gentlemanly'

I'll tell you what's not manly that PINK gi you wear, if our former boss would see you he would be so ashamed.

'you have to be able to let go of the past, and I already told you that it's not PINK it's MAGENTA'

just then Kaoru came in the kitchen with a huge smile on her face and apparently was trying to contend her laughter. Kenshin realized that he had said: It's not PINK it's MAGENTA out loud and Kaoru had heard him. He was red till the roots of his hair.

"I, well… jeje um I didn't well I wasn't talking to myself I…" 'Damn you Battousai look what you made me do!! I made a total fool of myself'

what else is new?

"I was just reminding myself that I had a MAGENTA gi not a PINK one, jajaja" Kenshin was rubbing the back of his head with his hand and with a huge sweat drop on it. He tried to explain but it was very hard to explain why you're talking to yourself while cooking.

"It's ok Kenshin, I won't tell anybody" and with a wink she walked towards the kitchen to help Kenshin with breakfast, although she was a little apprehensive cause she didn't want to ruin the wonderful meal Kenshin had cooked; but she decided to give it a shot anyway.

When Kenshin saw that Kaoru was getting ready to cook she asked her

"Kaoru-dono what are you doing?"

Kaoru looked at him and said "well helping you out with breakfast"

"oh no you don't have to Kaoru-dono, I'm cooking for the whole day" Kenshin lead her to the little table they usually ate on and sat her down trying to make her comfortable

"but Kenshin you can't cook all day" she said sitting on the cushion by the table

"dont worry Kaoru-dono I will be fine, you just sit down and relax" and with that he continued making his special breakfast.

When he finished he placed all the food on the table, put the plates for two people and sat down himself across Kaoru.

"Wow Kenshin the food looks delicious!" Kaoru had wide eyes and looked at the scrumptious food that was right before her, Kenshin had really outdone himself and it was all for her! Wow she was excited, but then she thought that it wasn't only for her but for yahiko and Sano too, 'but he only placed two plates…' the little voice inside of her said, and for once instead of nagging, the voice was really right this time, I mean he HAD set only two plates, but might as well enjoy she thought and with that she dug into the food.

"I am glad you're enjoying it Kaoru-dono," he said with a smile. Even though she wasn't eating like she normally eats, and by that he means that she was acting more or less like Sano and Yahiko, he still saw her as the most beautiful person right now, and he was proud if himself and lets not forget Sano, he was the one who gave him advice. Sano really outdid himself this time, he has left me impressed this time, with his advice and all´

Oh will you please, he only said to give her attention the whole day and to prepare her a great breakfast, so he had a lucky shot lets not give him a Grammy!( I know that Grammies didn't exist at that time but in my fic they do so there!)

you're just jealous that he had a good idea and didn't act like a dork this time´

seee YOU even admit that he is a dork, and I am not jealous of that dork. I am the Battousai how can I be jealous??

Kaoru and Kenshin were talking to each other when Yahiko barged in the fitched looking really mad, "How could you do this to me Kenshin, after all the meals that we have gone through together you, of all people, pull this stunt on me?"

"What stunt Yahiko, I do not recall any stunt, that I do not" Kenshin new he had it coming, and he had it comind Big. He knew he should have talked to Yahiko about the plan he and Sano had, because the nice food he was going to cook all day was for Kaoru and leaving Yahiko craving for the food wasn't exactly a good idea.

"you know very well what I am talking about Kenshin, you cooked this delicious food and you didn't even tell me!!"

Kenshin knew that he had to tell Yahiko so he could cooperate with him and Sano but he couldn't tell him in front of Kaoru; but he had an idea.

"Yahiko why don't you go to Sano's house and speak with him for a while and tell him that I sent you to speak with him" Kenshin knew he sounded pretty weird but he didn't care as long as Yahiko went to Sano's house and be enlightened.

"why would I want to go to that rooster head's house" Yahiko was getting very annoyed he didn't understand Kenshin this time.

"I am telling you to go Yahiko, it will be very good for you!" Kenshin said while winking at him.

"Kenshin why do you want him to go to Sano's house?" and that is the thing that Kenshin feared, Kaoru had spoken, and he had to answer her but he had no ideas…

tell her that umm you umm, that well that Sano misses him.. Yeah

'Kaoru is not stupid, she knows that Sano wouldn't miss Yahiko , man what to do what to do!??'

and then came Yahiko to the rescue,

"Oh yeah he wanted to speak to me about that thing right? Oh yeah I forgot. Well I'm off now ok see ya Busu!!" and he left before she could wack him in the head, but he knew that she would make him do more chores than usual so he had no way out, well there's life to ya.

when Yahiko was walking towards Sano's house he kept thinking what would Sano have to tell him?, he knew that it was a secret and that Kenshin didn't want Kaoru to know. 'Well whatever it is, it must be about some war or something and he didn't want to preoccupy the Busu. Or maybe he wants to wander again and he doesn't want to tell her! He is going to get it from me if he thinks about going, there has been too many things that have happened to us since he got here, and for each and every one of us either individually or as a family, and he is not going anywhere and ruin everybody's lives like that'

He finally got to Sano's place and knocked on the door but when he heard no answer he just opened the door, he knew the rooster head was very much and idiot to leave the door unlocked.

"Hey wake up rooster; you've got to cock-a-doodle-do so everyone can wake up."

Hearing that remark he got up instantly and hit Yahiko on the head

"How's that for a wake up call?"

"Oww watch it I get enough of those from Busu I don't need them from you!" He said while rubbing his head that had a lump in it now, he was just going to put some ice on it since that is what he always did when Kaoru hit him on the head with her bokken, so he headed to the kitchen to get some ice.

"What are you doing here anyways; shouldn't you be at the dojo or helping your girlfriend at the akabeko?" Sano knew that would get him, he just liked teasing the midget, but it was his little bro. midget, he had always looked at him as a little brother even though he didn't accept it at times but the kid was likable sometimes.

"Tsubame is NOT my girlfriend!" Yahiko was beet red; he liked tsubame but he always denied it.

"Who said anything about Tsubame?" Sano said with a smirk on is face, pleased that he had gotten his answer.

"Look just stick to the point ok? I came here because Kenshin said that I come and speak with you," Yahiko said while in the kitchen rubbing his aching head, the damn rooster head hit him pretty hard, but not as hard as Kaoru.

"Ok so what do you want to talk about?"

"You're supposed to tell me that" when he saw the perplexed Sano he tried again, "you know the secret, Kenshin and you have…"

"Oh! Ok I thought this was secret but I guess I'll tell ya."

"Ok I'm listening"

And he began telling him.

When Kenshin and Kaoru finished eating breakfast Kenshin hurriedly got up and took the plates from her and washed them.

"Kenshin, thank you for the wonderful breakfast, it was delicious. I'll go and take a shower ok" and she left

'I am glad Kaoru-dono liked it I have to say my recipie is quite tasty.'

are you kidding me? It's delicious its scrumptious! It's incomparable!

'really?'

no, not really, but let me tell you, that breakfast thing worked out pretty well and since Yahiko knows now then things should be a lot easier

'aww are you getting soft Battousai?'

shut up rurouni, I never get soft; I'm just saying that the sooner the better.

' so you admit that you want Kaoru-dono'

yeah I guess she's pretty cool

'and you admit that we are not worthy of her'

don't push it pink rurouni

'You're wearing pink too.'

I hate you

Now Kaoru was in the bathtub relaxing herself and her stomach, she knew she had too much too eat but the food was too delicious to pass out.

'Wow Kenshin is being pretty nice to me, not that he isn't everyday, but this time is different it more caring and in a more that friendly way. Oh who am I kidding, Kenshin will never show it, in fact I don't even know that he loves me, probably not who would want a tomboy like me?'

'looks to me that wants one, face it you are head over heels for Kenshin and I think that he is too'

'Damn go away you little voice inside my head, you are not helping, I mean Kenshin would never want me, not when he has more beautiful women after him.'

'yeah right come on just admit it you like Kenshin and Kemshin likes YOU!'

'ok I'm am going to get out of the shower now and going to change before Kenshin barges in here cheking if I'm ok, that has just happened too many times' and she left the bathing room to get changed. She was trying to decide which dress to wear, she wanted to look good for Kenshin today, especially when something WAS going to happen, she smirked in front of the mirror and looked at her kimono, it was perfect. Then she started to comb her hair in front of her mirror ' I guess a girls gotta do what a girls gottta do' .

"Really????"

"Really"

"Wow that is pretty clever, I would have never thought of that, it will certainly work, jajaja soo can I be part of the plan, come on you've got to let me in no it. It's a once in a lifetime situation." Yahiko was eager to set out the plan that had been explained to him, he thought it was really clever, so naturally he wanted to be a part of it.

"Yeah kid I guess ya can be in and help out, the more the merrier. Jajajaja" Sano had explained the plan to Yahiko and he understood pretty well, so he figured they could really use his help.

"hey I have a great idea, why don't we call the Weasel and her 'Aoshi-sama' to come help, it would be easier to carry out the plan and we can add a few more ideas in" Yahiko said with enthusiasm he just couldn't wait to see Kenshin and Kaoru together, he couldn't stand the looks anymore it drives everyone crazy! And he also wanted the Busu to be happy for once 'she deserves it'

"Already been taken care of kid, we just need to tell Kenshin that they will be coming."

"You haven't told him yet?" Yahiko was about to hit him on the head when a knock came at the door. Just then Megumi appeared looking very happy and with a certain pair of fox ears on her head.

"Hey fox, what 'cha doing here?"

"Oh I was just passing by and well I just wanted to tell you that tonight in the akabeko is set, Tsubame and Tae are totally in" Megumi said while sitting down on the rather filthy floor.

"That's good fox good work." Sano had told Megumi to take care of the 'surprise' for Kaoru.

"Hey you let her in on the plan Sano?" Yahiko said standing up

"Well yeah I couldn't keep my mouth shut I guess I mean I had to tell someone, so it kinda slipped out; but hey Megumi you weren't supposed to tell Tae or Tsubame about the plan!" Sano said trying to hide his mistake by bringing up Megumi's slip of the tongue too.

"Well just like you I couldn't restrain myself ok? So it's your fault too you know."

"what do you mean it's my fault?"

"Well you started it"

and then all hell broke loose and they started fighting, Sano trying to defend himself, Megumi trying to blame Sano, and Yahiko arguing about Tsubame; he was saying that why was it so wrong to let Tsubame in on the plan.

"Hurry Aoshi-sama we have to get there on time you know before tonight, remember we are doing this for Kaoru-chan, so plase hurry, come on you are too slow!" Misao wanted to get there in time to make the preparations in the akabeko and to review the plan and also to get ready for the 'surprise'. She was very exited it was finally time her dear Kaoru-chan and Kenshin were going to be together, how she wished that her Aoshi-sama would express something for her.

"If we go any faster we will get tired unnecessarily and never get there in time"

"Oh Aoshi-sama come on let's hurry it's only a few more miles jajaja" Misao grabed his hand and started running towards the dojo, she just couldn't wait. Aoshi blushed a little when Misao grabbed his hand and started pulling on him, although he wasn't the kind to blush, he did and even though he wasn't the kind to smile either, he did; and the irony of it all was that he did it for the perky girl that was pulling him toward her best friend's house.

When Kenshin finished washing the dishes he laid down on the porch waiting for Kaoru to come out of her room. The next part of the plan was to take her on a stroll through the market place to buy her something, and then through the park to pick some flowers for her. He just wished that everything would turn out great, and that he would finally tell her what he felt for her, not that he was going to tell her today but maybe the day after tomorrow (sounds like that movie jajaja "Where are you going to be, the Day After Tomorrow…" Jajja ok back to the fic)

'I wish that she feels the same for me'

there is no doubt about it, I mean look at us we are unquestionably hadndsome

'there is no need for cockiness, Kaoru-dono does not judge entirely on the looks but at the heart she is not shallow like some people…'

Hey I am not shallow I just point out the truth and if you don't nt to accept it well that's your problem 'cause every girl in town agrees with me

'Please Battousai don't ruin my day with Kaoru-dono'

hey I just give you tips about woman but you just don't take them and that is why you wear a PINK gi, be a man!! Be a man repeat after me: I am a man I will wear manly clothes, I will wear manly colors

'please stop it!'

And another mistake for Kenshin Himura as once again he said the last phrase out loud and Kaoru, with her perfect timing, heard him loud and clear. Kenshin just rubbed the back of his head turning beet red and not bothering to make a lame excuse for the weird behavior.

'Oh it's over'

It's not over until the fat lady sings!

and with that headed out of the dojo for a little walk.

Well, how did you like this chapter hu????? Tell me !! you can tell me by clicking that button yes click it click it!!! I command you!!! No just kidding I will give u Soujiro plushies if you do!! And we all know how we love soujiro!!!

So click that button

Oh one more thing when you review tell me if the conversations between Battousai and Kenshin are too long and boring, if so I will cut them out. Remember your reviews are what make my day even though I just get one :( TT noooooooooooooooooooooo please give me more reviews than one I am begging you. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ok off with the rant and remember to give me your thoughts.

Oh I almost forgot…. I know that Battousai seems kinda macho and discriminating about women but he really isn't he is just very obsessed with his manlihood (not that manlihood you perverts!!!!!) he likes to be seen as well very manly… well you get the picture (I hope)

Ok now this time :

Off with the rants and on with your thoughts.

See yas

XOXO

Jouko-chan
