The One I Love - Chapter 3 Rivals
There was definite silence during lunch. Yahiko, being a curious person, broke the silence with a question.
"So Koji.. Where did you come from? I mean.. uh.. I don't think you're from around here.."
"Yahiko! Don't be so nosy!"
"I was just wondering busu!"
"Why you.."
"Uh..Kaoru..That's alright. I don't mind answering his question."
Embarrassed, Kaoru continued to eat, keeping her eyes on her food.
Koji chuckled. "You're right Yahiko. I'm not from around here at all.. I'm actually from New York State in the United States."
Silent gasps were heard.
"Oh..so..are you in Japan for a vacation or something?"
"Well..you could say that.."
"What do you mean?"
"Um..my parents are actually Japanese.. I was actually born here but we moved to the United States so I was raised there. My parents gave me a Japanese name so I would know my country. They sent me here to look for someone..."
Kaoru interrupted, "Oh my Koji! When did you get here? Do you have a place to stay?"
"Well actually Kaoru, I first arrived at Tokyo. Then I decided to come to Kyoto. And I just arrived here earlier and have not yet booked a place at an inn."
"I have an idea! I live at the Kamiya Dojo and I insist for you to stay there with us for as long as you need to."
"Uh..Jou-chan?" "Kaoru-dono?"
"No guys." Kaoru turned to Koji.
"Koji, I insist for you to stay at the Kamiya Dojo."
"Kaoru I can't do that."
"Of course you can! You don't have a place to stay and there's an extra room at the dojo. Besides, at this time, all the hotels are probably booked already. You can come stay with Yahiko, Kenshin, and myself."
"Thank you so much Kaoru. You have a big heart. Not only are you beautiful and kind, but you are also very generous."
Yahiko gagged to himself. No one noticed though.
Kaoru blushed madly and just smiled.
While all this was going on, Sano was thinking to himself. This guy's going to court Jou-chan.. What is she doing? Does she actually like him or something? Is she really that clueless? And what about Kenshin?...
After that last thought, Sano looked over at Kenshin who's been quiet throughout the whole meal.
Meanwhile, Kenshin was also thinking to himself. His bangs were covering his eyes which kept switching from harsh violet to golden amber. How dare he talk to MY Kaoru that way. Wait a minute.. Kaoru-dono is not a posession. I musn't talk about her that way.. She is free to see whomever she wishes.. But if he dares to hurt her.. Fiery amber rested on his eyes.
Sano noticed this and the fact that Kenshin's hands were tightly clenched at his side. Uh oh.. I better do something.
"Hey Kenshin..You okay there?"
Coming out of his thoughts, amber was replaced by the gentle violet again.
"Huh? Yes. I'm fine Sano.."
Kaoru and Koji were in a conversation and didn't take notice of any of this happening.
"Can we go now?" Yahiko blurted out.
"Alright kid. Let's go. Are you guys all ready to go?"
"Yup! Oh but wait! Koji, where are your belongings?"
"Oh that's right! I think I accidently left them outside where we bumped into each other!"
"Oh my gosh! I am so very sorry Koji! I'll be right back!" Kaoru got up and rushed out of the Akabeko.
Koji also stood up to follow after her but was stopped by the rurouni.
"Koji-san, I will help Kaoru-dono, that I will. After all, you will be out guest."
"Oh no Himura-san, I'll help Kaoru, I insist. And please, call me Koji." He smiled.
Kenshin hesitantly moved away for Koji to go. "Alright but please make sure Kaoru-dono is not harmed."
Koji's face softened up a little and replied, "I would never let Kaoru be in any sort of danger. Now if you'll excuse me.." He went outside where Kaoru was. Kenshin just stared after him.
"Kenshin you're letting him help Jou-chan?"
When Kenshin didn't answer back or say anything, Sano just kept quiet.
Yahiko wasn't stupid. He knew what was going on. Even if he was only eleven, he knew Kenshin loves Kaoru and Kaoru loves Kenshin. They're the ones who doesn't know the other loves them. What Yahiko also knew was that Sano and Megumi liked each other too. Even though they bicker all the time, he knew they really cared for each other. He would never actually admit it out loud, but he loves Kaoru as the older sister he never had. If anything bad happened to her, he wouldn't know what to do. Sure they argue and he makes fun of her, but he doesn't really mean it. What he doesn't know however, is that sometimes Kaoru really takes what he says seriously and gets hurt. He doesn't know that she's very insecure about herself. Yahiko would love it if Kenshin and Kaoru got together.
Someone interrupted the silence.
"Yahiko, Sano, we should go now."
"Okay." was both their replies.
When they reached outdoors, they saw Koji and Kaoru with suitcases.
Kenshin immediately rushed to Kaoru to help her. "Kaoru-dono I'll carry those for you, that I will. It looks kind of heavy."
"Are you saying I'm not strong enough Kenshin? I can hold these just fine!" with that said, Kaoru walked ahead of everyone else. But she also added, "Come on Koji, the dojo is this way."
Koji looked at the rest of them, gave them a small shrug and walked after her.
Kenshin drooped his head, his bangs covering his face and whispered, "I wasn't implying anything Kaoru-dono. I only wanted to help."
Yahiko was about to say something but Sano stopped him.
"Is Kenshin okay?" Yahiko asked worried.
"Yeah, don't worry kid." Sano knew that wasn't true. He knew Kenshin was going through a lot of feelings at the moment.
Yahiko wasn't completely convinced, but decided against talking back.
"Come on Kenshin, let's go."
"Sano, you and Yahiko can go ahead. I'll be right there.."
"Alright Kenshin. Come on Yahiko."
"but..."
"No, let's go." and silently, he added, "Kenshin just needs some time alone right now."
Yahiko just nodded and walked with Sano.
When Sano got closer to Kenshin, he whispered, "You alright Kenshin?"
"No Sano.. I'm not.. I'll be at the dojo later.. I just need some time to think about some things.."
"Alright Kenshin. But if you need anything, you know Sanosuke's got your back."
"Thanks Sano."
Sano just nodded and headed towards the dojo with Yahiko with one last thought.
You better make the right decision Kenshin.. Or you could lose her forever..
