Red Rose

By: Blackz Chapter 1

The morning was fresh as Kenshin walked down the hall of the dojo. Kenshin walked passed kaoru's room. I wonder if Kaoru-dono is still sleeping? Kenshin heard Kaoru's light breathing. She's asleep. I wonder how she looked when she's asleep??? Kenshin's mind drifted to certain things that he shouldn't think of. Hentai! Sessha shouldn't think those things about Kaoru-dono. Kenshin gave himself a mind slap. Kenshin continued walking towards the kitchen.

Kaoru stretch her arm. "Hmm....that's was nice." It has been a week since she didn't have a good night sleep. sniff..sniff Something smells nice. Kaoru had her shower and changed into her blue kimono and tied her long raven hair into a long ponytail with a blue ribbon. As she walked to have her breakfast, she heard someone fussing about not enough food. "Yahiko-chan. You already finished two bowls. Please be considerate about other people. Kaoru-dono doesn't eat her breakfast yet." Kenshin's voice was gentle and soothing.

"I don't care about that ugly old hag!!! No wonder she didn't get married. A man couldn't survive living with her. Not to mention her awful cooking!!"

"What did you say about my cooking? You little selfish brat!!!" Kaoru stomped. She whacked Yahiko's head.

Maa..maa..Kaoru-dono. Let's just have our breakfast in peace shall we?" soothed the red-haired man. Kaoru seated herself beside Kenshin, and ate her breakfast in peace. Yahiko snickered.

"What are you snickering at?" "Just looking at your ugliness.." Kaoru's face turned red. "You insensitive little brat!" Kaoru throw her breakfast at Yahiko. "Oi! What did you that for?"

"For ruining my appetite!" Kaoru stomped out of the room. "Yahiko-chan, should be more nice to Kaoru-dono." "I can't help it! This is the time of my age that boys like me love to irritate girls." Yahiko smiled innocently. Kenshin sigh.

After her class with Yahiko in the afternoon, Kaoru informed Kenshin that she'll be having lunch at the Akabeko. Kenshin looked at Kaoru exited the gate as he doing the laundry. Kenshin's mind drifted about the woman he loves. How I love her. She's the most beautiful woman in his life other than Tomoe. My love for Tomoe is different from my love for Kaoru. My love for Kaoru really spiced up my life. Tomoe.... The past is past. Right now, I only love Kaoru....

"Yo Kenshin!!!" Kenshin stumbled when heard that certain greeting and fell into the foam of bubbles. Sano went over to help Kenshin who is soaked with bubbles. There are some bubbles on his fiery red hair. "Dude..you should change into some dry clothes 'cause you have to cook me lunch and I got to tell you somethin'!" winked Sano.

"Hai..hai..." Kenshin sigh as he walked to his room to change his clothes.

Kaoru arrived at the Akabeko. It was busy as usual. She went inside and saw her friends giggling. Must be talking about something. Tsubame's face was red. Obviously, that the young girl was blushing. "Hi!" greeted Kaoru. "Hi!!" greeted her friends back.

"Come and join us Kaoru!" Misao was jumping excitedly "Megumi was telling us about this special day where the western people celebrate to confess their love to their loved ones. This day is special for lovers." Tae smiled at the younger girl. "It was called 'Valotin Day' or something like that." said Misao thoughtfully.

"It was called "Valentines Day", weasel. If you were listening carefully you should pronounced it correctly." corrected Megumi.

"Who were you calling 'weasel'?" screamed Misao. Her face turned red of anger.

"Maa..maa..Misao-chan..." plead Tae.

Kaoru take her seat beside Megumi. "Can you tell me about this 'Valentines Day'?" Megumi sigh. She has to explain one more time. She had explained to the other girls about 5 times! (A/N: if I were Megumi, I would surely explode. It irritates me so much when people asked me to explain many times..don't you agree? Or just maybe I'm bad at explaining things. sigh) "Okay..okay...I explain, but made this the last time!" warned Megumi. "HAI!!!" the girls said it together. Megumi sigh. Kenshin finished cooking lunch and getting ready to eat. He set the table. Sano just looked at Kenshin lazily. For being the infamous lazy-bum, he even didn't bother to help Kenshin. When Kenshin give him a bowl of rice, he started eating it like a pig. MUNCH..GOBBLE...MUNCH..GOBBLE..

"Sho...." Sano said with his mouth full of food. "..foxshstellmeboutsshishdayswen.." "Urm..Sano, I think you should eat first then you can tell me." Kenshin smiled. Its really funny when he watched Sano ate. The helpless guy always ate like he never eat for a month. He watched as Sano choked his food. Kenshin gave him some tea and he drank it quickly. Kenshin just sigh.

A/N: Okay minna!! That's all for now! Wait for the next chapter!!
