The Things You Do

By: Chibilover2000

Let's Get to Know Each Other

Kenshin was lying down on the couch watching television when Megumi came and turned it off.

"Hey! I was watching that!" Kenshin said annoyed.

"Don't tell me you plan to spend your whole entire vacation sleeping, watching television, and eating only."

"Don't nag me Megumi, every single summer I'm always sent to camps and during vacations I had to study. This is our first summer without our parents and I plan on enjoying it!"

"I am NOT gonna look after or live with a slob, besides if you do that you'll get fat and then Kaoru won't like that."

Kenshin blushed a little and then scowled.

"What I do with my body has nothing to with you or her," Kenshin said.

"Nothing to do with whom?" Kaoru asked when she came in.

Kenshin and Megumi looked at her surprised.

"Sorry, the door was open so I let myself in...you know it's dangerous to leave your door open like that."

"I'm here trying to get your boyfriend off his lazy ass." Megumi said.

Kaoru looked at Kenshin and he looked the other way.

"What were you doing?" She asked.

"I was watching television, is that wrong?" Kenshin mumbled.

Kaoru walked towards Kenshin and grabbed his hand and started to lead him to his room.

"You're young, don't waste your time at home. There are lots of things you could do outside," Kaoru said cheerfully.

When they got to his room Kaoru practically pushed him inside.

"Now, clean yourself up so that we can go somewhere." Kaoru said.

"W-wait! I don't want..." Kaoru interrupted him.

"Don't make me wait," she said walking outside and closing the door behind her.

Kenshin just stared at the door that Kaoru closed.

'My summer....'

"Thanks Kaoru," Megumi said, "I thought I was gonna have to scream this early in the morning."

"Screaming is never the answer..."

"I see."

Kenshin came out of his room real depressed.

"I'm ready..." he said in a mono-tone voice.

"All right, let's go," Kaoru said standing up, then she looked at Megumi and asked, "Do you want to come with us?"

Megumi shook her head.

"I have to fix some things up before I start college...and anyways I don't wanna be a bother on your date."

'Who said this was a date?' Kenshin asked confused.

"Okay," Kaoru said and then she walked to Kenshin and linked her arms through his, "shall we go, Kenshin?"

Kenshin looked at her arm that was linked to his for a while, and then he answered.

"Yeah."

Kenshin and Kaoru were walking through the streets. Kaoru removed her arm from Kenshin's and stretched.

"Today's a nice day," she said looking up at the sky.

"Yeah..."

"When it's sunny outside it tends to give you a lot of energy, don't you think so?"

"Yeah..."

"Are you bored?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah...I mean, um...no."

"How 'bout we take a walk through the park, it'll do us good exercise."

'Exactly what's that suppose to mean?' Kenshin thought.

"That would be nice," he said.

So they walked started to walk to the park when Kaoru took Kenshin's hand, he looked at her hand holding his and then looked at her. She started picking up the pace.

"You walk so slow, you know that?" She said.

Kenshin shook his head.

When they got to the park Kaoru slowed her pace. She started to look around at the trees and the flowers.

"Nature...is definitely the best," she said.

"So...are you like a hippie?" Kenshin asked.

"No," Kaoru said laughing a bit, "I just like nature...I think that what's happening to it is bad and I help out with environmental things like planting trees or cleaning up...but at the same time I like the things the things that damage the environment, they make life comfortable."

"So you can't choose."

"I do a little of both."

They walked a little more when Kaoru saw something that made her gasp.

"Kenshin look!"

Kenshin looked to where Kaoru was pointing to and saw a lot of pretty flowers. They walked to them.

"I adore flowers."

"You have of your own?"

"Yeah, but I like it the best when someone gives me flowers, it gives me a feeling...that I can't explain but it makes me feel real happy."

"Flowers are nice...but I won't say I adore them."

"Do you have a favorite?"

"No."

"I like roses."

"The classic huh?"

"Can't beat the classics."

After they were done in the park and were exiting Kaoru spoke.

"I'm kind of hungry, what about you?"

"I guess I could eat."

"I know this nice place, wanna go?"

"Fine with me."

So Kenshin followed Kaoru to the place where they were gonna eat. When they came in they took some seats and ordered something.

"So, what do you think of this place?" Kaoru asked.

"It's okay."

"Do you have a favorite food or something...?"

"No, I don't mind really what I eat."

"Not even if it's spinach?"
Kenshin smiled.

"I think you know the answer to that."

There was silence.

"Is sitting at home and watching television what you like to do?" Kaoru asked.

"Is there something wrong with that?"

"Well, you can rot on the couch. You got to go out sometime."

"Even if I didn't want to somebody would make me go out."

The waitress brought the drinks that they wanted.

"If someone wanted to give you a...present...um...what would...you...want...?" Kaoru asked nervously.

"It really doesn't matter."

"You have to like, how can it not matter?"

Kenshin drank some of his soda.

"As long as it's something that's useful to me, then I would like it...except for clothing."

"What's wrong with getting clothing?"

"They get you something that you don't like and then they expect you to wear it."

"I guess..."

The waitress came with the food, once she set the food for Kaoru she went to set Kenshin's. While she was near Kenshin, he took a glance at her huge...bosom. He kept staring like if he was in a trance up till he felt this huge pain on his leg because someone, well, Kaoru kicked him hard on the leg. Kenshin winced. The waitress looked at his face which was in pain.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"N-no, everything's fine."

"Well then, enjoy your meal," she said bowing.

"Thanks."

Both of them ate in silence.

'She kicks hard! I wonder if I'm gonna be able to walk...'

Kimi ni uso wo tsuiteshimau dakedo...[I ended up lying to you but...]

Kaoru stopped eating and started to listen to the song, Kenshin looked at her.

"This song..." Kaoru said.

mou sukoshi...mou sukoshi...[just a bit more...just a bit more...]

"Kaoru?" Kenshin asked.

"This is my favorite song!" Kaoru exclaimed.

Kenshin blinked a few times.

"After this let's go to karaoke, ok?" Kaoru asked excitedly.

"Why?"

"Because I want you to listen the song!"

"Why...?"

Kaoru turned a little red and then started to speak nervously.

"W-well...I thought...that this song...was really...similar to me..."

"To you?"

"Well...I could never bring myself to talk to you...in a normal...conversation...and I...I...I..." Kaoru stammered, "...geez Kenshin, don't make me say it!"

"Ok..ok..fine. We'll go there after we're done here."

When they both finished eating, or when Kaoru finished eating they paid and zoomed out of the store, well at least Kaoru did.

"Come again." The waitress said.

Kenshin looked again at her chest when Kaoru became irritated and pulled his ear.

"Let's go!"

"Ow! Ow...I'm coming...I'm coming!" Kenshin said in pain.

After they walked for a bit Kaoru started to pick up her pace but Kenshin continued walking slowly. Kaoru looked at him from the corner of her eye and stopped and walked back to him and took his hand.

"Come on, Kenshin! I wanna get there!"

"It's not going anywhere," Kenshin mumbled.

"Kenshin!"

"Alright...alright..."

He started to walk faster and in no time they reached there destination.

"I'm not singing here, right?" Kenshin asked.

"You want to?"

"No."

"Well, listen to my fav song."

'I hope she can sing...' Kenshin thought pitying himself already.

They walked in and after they paid and prepared everything they went to the karaoke.

"What's the song called?" Kenshin asked.

"'Just a bit more'" Kaoru said.

'Never heard of it' Kenshin thought.

"Listen to me well, ok Kenshin?" Kaoru asked enthusiastically.

Kenshin stared at her for a while and then nodded.

"I'm starting..." Kaoru announced.

Kenshin nodded unenthusiastically.

The music started to play and the lights started to dim. Kaoru had her eyes closed and she was smiling, when it was time to start....she opened her eyes.

soshite kizuite toki ni[By the time I noticed]

kangaeteiru no wa kimi no koto de[I was already thinking about you]

sorega sugoku hazukashikattari[I thought that was really embarrassing]

soguko iyadattari amoete[and I really hated it]

sore wa boku ga kimochi wo...tsutai koto ga kowai kara desu[It's because I am afraid to convey my feelings]

atama de osaetsuketemo[Even if I suppress it in my head ]

kokoro wa dou suru koto mo dekinakute[I can't do anything about my heart]

autabi ni kimi ni satorarenai you ni[To make you not notice when we meet]

itsumo to kawari nai you ni [and to make it no different from the norm]

hanashiteru tsumori de... yoyuu mo nakute[is how I planned to talk to you, but I couldn't.

kurushikunatta boku wa[I am suffering]

kimi ni uso wo tsuiteshimau dakedo...[I ended up lying to you, but...]

mou sukoshi mou sukoshi[just a bit more...just a bit more...

kimi no kokoro ni chikazuitara[If I can get closer to your heart]

mou sukoshi mou sukoshi[just a bit more...just a bit more...

ima kon toki ga kienai you ni[try not to erase this moment...]

While Kaoru continued singing the rest of the lyrics Kenshin started to think.

'Why is she...?'

"Well...I could never bring myself to talk to you...in a normal...conversation...and I...I...I..."

'This whole day she's been asking me questions...'

"If someone wanted to give you a...present...um...what would...you...want...?" Kaoru asked nervously.

"It really doesn't matter."

"You have to like, how can it not matter?"

'What...what is it...that she wants?'

ima kon toki ga kienai you ni[try not to erase this moment...]

douka kami-sama...boku ni yuuki wo kudasa-iiii[Please god give me courage]

The music started to end and Kaoru put back the microphone.

"How was I?" Kaoru asked.

"Fine..."

"That's good."

She walked towards Kenshin and sat with him.

"Did you like the song?"

"Yeah..."

Kaoru frowned.

"You don't sound like you like it."

"You don't look like you can sing." Kenshin replied.

'And you can't...' Kenshin thought to himself.

"I guess...but then I could say that you look like a liar," Kaoru said.

Kenshin went frigid.

"I...I...like Kenshin, very much!"

"I...like you, too."

'I am a liar...' Kenshin thought guiltily.

"Is there something wrong, Kenshin?" Kaoru asked.

Kenshin shook his head.

"It's nothing."

After a period of silence...

"Why...did you bring me...here?" Kenshin asked.

"You don't like it here?" Kaoru asked.

"That's not it...why do you want me to know your favorite song...why do you want me to know the restaurant you like...why do you want me to know what you like...and what you do?"

Kaoru looked down at her hands on her lap.

"Because..." Kaoru started, "...I like you Kenshin...I..." Kaoru squeezed her hands, "...I stood up late last night...thinking about you...when I noticed...I had nothing...to think...about..."

"Huh?"

"...I didn't know...anything about you...and I wanted to know...about you...I wanted you to know...about me...I-I-I don't know it's just this feeling I have that..." Kaoru said putting a hand on her chest, "...I want to know everything...what you think about...what you like...I want to know about...you."

Kenshin stayed silent for a while like if he was thinking....and then he spoke.

"I understand now...that's okay."

"You don't want me...to know about you?"

Kenshin rested his head on his hand.

"I don't mind."

There was some silence when Kaoru stood up.

"The air here is too awkward...let's leave."

"Where?" Kenshin asked.

Kaoru thought for a while.

"I could go for some television and soda," she said.

Kenshin looked at her.

'Well...it's not the same with you there...' Kenshin thought.

"S-sure..." He said standing up too.

So then both of them returned to Kenshin's apartment to find that Megumi wasn't there. They sat down on the couch and Kenshin turned on the television and put a channel.

Megumi came back from wherever she was to find a bored Kaoru watching television and an awkward-looking Kenshin doing the same thing.

'Is this what he watches...?' Kaoru thought, 'I could fall asleep right here...'

"When did you guys get here?"

"A while before..." Kaoru said in a mono-tone.

"Don't tell me Kenshin convinced you to come here and spend your vacation watching television!" Megumi said.

"No...it was my idea..." Kaoru said.

'And I regret it...' Kaoru thought crying inside.

Megumi stared at them and then sighed.

"I can't stand it I can't stand seeing you guys rot there...you know what? Tomorrow we're all going to pool, I'll invite everyone."

"Why does everyone have to come?" Kenshin asked.

"Why...?" Megumi asked, she started to smile evilly and the horns started to grow, "it'll be more interesting that way, hehehehehe..."

"Then it's settled!" Kaoru said standing up, "I'll go getting ready..." she said.

'Anything to stop watching this...' Kaoru thought.

'Was it just me or did horns grow out of Megumi?' Kenshin thought.

"I'll do the same...I have to call up everyone anyway..." Megumi said going into her room.

"I'll leave now...bye Kenshin!"

"Bye..." Kenshin responded.

Kaoru walked out of the door and Kenshin sat there for a while.

He shrugged.

'Oh well, I got my TV...it's all good.'

And Kenshin changed the channel.

Author's Point: Now that was short. Anyways the song 'Just a bit more' is from the anime 'Midori-no-hibi' I happened to get my idea for this story from that song and...I like the song...so...whatever, oh and 'Midori-no-hibi is a good anime I recommend you to watch it if you get your hands on it. So, the next chapter...someone evil is coming, very, very evil...perhaps eviler than Megumi! Don't miss it! Oh and the chapter is gonna be pretty long so I won't answer any reviews also I'm very tired right now 'cause I was on a trip yesterday so I won't be answering reviews now, and that's it...see you next time!!!!!!!!!!
