The morning was crisp and the air was fresh.......(so much for the intro) "ARGHHHHHH!!" screamed Kaoru. "What should I WEAR!!!!!!!!!" Kaoru looked into her closet as she searched for perfect attire for this day. "Not this one...this blue one is pretty...no...purple?" Kaoru is trying to choose whether she should wear the blue kimono or the purple one. "I've never been so choosy in my life!! Especially about clothes for god-sake!!!"

There was a knock on the shogi. "Kaoru-dono? Are you presentable enough for me to come in?" Kenshin heard Kaoru's scream. "Yes." Obviously Kaoru doesn't realize who is coming into her room. Kenshin entered the room. The room was a mess. Clothes was lying everywhere. And not to mention that Kaoru is only wearing a towel!!!!!!! Kenshin felt a nosebleed coming up. His face turned crimson red.

Kaoru only noticed this and she screamed. "KENSHIN NO HENTAI!!!!" Kaoru slapped Kenshin's face.

"OROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Kenshin's eyes swirls. I think I'm seeing twelve Kaorus.

"What are you doing in my room??!!"

"Relax Kaoru."

That's the first time she heard Kenshin called her by her name on normal grounds. Kaoru smiled. "You're helping to pick my attire for today, aren't you?"

"Oro?" Kenshin was confused of his Kaoru's reaction. One minute she was angry with him and the other she was smiling at him.

"Now help me! Which one should I wear?" Kaoru held up her blue and purple kimono.

"Kaoru...I don't care what you wear. You always looked beautiful to me and I always love you..." Kenshin mumbled.

"Huh? What was that??"

"Urmm..I mean you wear anything and you always looked beautiful to me!" Kenshin's sweat dropped. Kaoru blushed.

Kenshin went to the huge pile of clothes and pulled out a red kimono. "I think you looked nice in this one...matched with the occasion don't you think??"

Kaoru looked at the kimono. She smiled. "Okay!" She went over to him and cupped his face. "Thanks.." Kaoru pecked him on the lips.

Kenshin turned deep red.

Kaoru POV

Oh my god!! I can't believe I just kissed him!! I've always want to kissed him on the lips but..he must think I'm going to steal his love from his Tomoe...Oh Kenshin......

He bowed after I kissed him. Then he hurriedly left the room. Kenshin...don't you love me??

Kenshin POV

Oh Kaoru... I must leave you or I can't control myself... But wait tonight my Kaoru...wait...

Kenshin set up the table for breakfast. Yahiko was waiting for the table to be set up. "Come on slowpoke!! I'm bloody hungry and I'm going to be late for work!" whined Yahiko.

Kenshin smiled at the younger man. "Maa..maa..Yahiko-chan. Can't you wait in just one minute?" Kenshin went into the kitchen to get the bowls. He took three bowls and went to the table where he was setting. Ashe went out the kitchen to the dining room, Kaoru walked in to eat her breakfast. Kaoru looked stunningly beautiful in her red kimono and her raven hair was tied up in a high ponytail with a red ribbon. Kenshin swallowed at the sight of an angel in front of him. He accidentally dropped the bowls.

Yahiko whistled. "What got in to you ugly? Finally our ugly old hag turned pretty..." Kaoru knows that remarked supposed to be sarcastic but she took it as a compliment. But what's wrong with Kenshin? He suddenly freezes. Did she stun him that much? "Kenshin? Are you okay?" Kaoru waved her hands in front of Kenshin's face.

Kenshin's mind came back to the reality. "Huh? Kaoru-dono! P..p...please take a seat! I take the new bowls. Kenshin soon disappeared into the kitchen. Kaoru sigh. Kenshin is calling her 'Kaoru-dono' again. "I've knew I shouldn't kissed him in the place!" grumbled kaoru.

Yahiko snickered. He is quite amused by the actions happened in front of him.

(A/n: Just want to say 'Arigatou' again to my reviewers who giving me opinions for this ficcie. You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

Yahiko headed to work while Kenshin and Kaoru are ready to spend their time together at the town.

"Kaoru-dono? Are you ready?"

"Yes Kenshin. Shall we?" Kaoru trying as hard she can to hold up the tears. Kenshin was upset because of the kiss. I've known that I shouldn't kiss him. Now he thinks something bad about me. He stopped calling her Kaoru. Oh Kenshin...

The couple walked to the town together. Kenshin looked at Kaoru's face. Something is disturbing her. I have to act fast. I have to ask her tonight!
