"Konbanwa." The girl bowed to Sano. "Konbanwa." She bowed to Kenshin. When she raised her head, time stopped still. Then, peaceful amethyst met shocked sapphire.
Chapter 2: New Home
"Hey Jou-chan... what's your name?" Sano asked, breaking the silence.
"H-hai?" the girl stuttered. She was too busy staring at the wicked-looking scar on the redhead's cheek. How did he get it?
"What's your name, Miss?" Kenshin said, smiling softly.
"Aa. Hajime mashita. Watashi wa Kamiya Kaoru desu."
"Kaoru, I'm Kenshin. This is my bestfriend, Sanosuke Sagara." Kenshin inroduced.
"So, are you ready, Jou-chan?" Sano said.
"Hai, arigato again, Megumi-san. Sayonara..." Kaoru smiled, hugging Megumi once again, trying to keep the tears from leaking.
"Take care of her, Himura-san or else, I will personally hunt you down and poison you. Sayonara, Kao-chan..." Megumi replied, smiling sincerely.
"I will, Megumi-san. I will..." Kenshin promised. Because I want to... an unnoticed voice said in his head. Kaoru smiled, grabbed her little baggage, then left Sano and Kenshin.
Kaoru sat at the backseat of Kenshin's car, Sano's at the passenger's, while the owner is driving.
"So Jou-chan--"
"I have a name, Sagara-san." Kaoru admonished quietly, eyes glinting dangerously.
"Whatever Jou-chan..." he smirked. "Anyway, I bought you for my buddy Kenshin here..." She stiffened. "So... I guess you two should get together and... you know what I mean..."
"Sano, we're here... " Kenshin said in a low dangerous tone.
"Sure man! See ya!" Sano said, ignorant, then left the car.
There was an uncomfortable silence at the car after Sano's remark. Kaoru decided to break the tension.
"Himura-san?"
"Kenshin." was his reply.
"Aa. Kenshin?"
"Kaoru?"
"Kenshin, I..."
"We're here..." he said. In an instant, her door opened. She looked up to see Kenshin, smiling softly, holding out his hand.
"Arigato..." she accepted his hand gratefully. "Oh. My. God." A huge mansion, and I mean HUGE, stood before her. It has three floors, a large lawn with lush green grass, a swimming pool at the back, and lots of cars. He was obviously rich.
"Kaoru?" he asked, amused.
"Your house-- iie, your mansion is... beautiful..." she stuttered out.
"I'm glad you like it..." he said casually, looping an arm around her waist.
"Kenshin?" she squeaked, blushing crimson. Smiling, he bent his head to kiss her softly. She stiffened at first, then relaxed, enjoying her first kiss. Tightening his grip, he deepened the kiss, making her moan softly. After realizing the need to breathe, he broke their passionate kiss.
"Kenshin?" her cheeks were flushed, eyes wide, breathing shallow.
"Let's go." He took her hand, then walked up through the carpeted floor of Kenshin's house. A butler walked up to them, taking off Kenshin's coat.
"Everyone is at the dining room, Young Master. And Madam Makimachi has arrived." the butler said with a heavy French accent.
"Thank you, Pierre." he smiled, opening the door.
"Kenshin!?" A high-pitched voice greeted cheerfully. Turning around, Kaoru saw a large man, drinking a cup of sake, a tall lady with brown hair and blue eyes, a petite woman withsea-green eyes, and a tall man, stiff as a rock, with piercing ice blue eyes.
"Baka deshi! Where have you been?" the large man roared.
"Oro? Shishou, I was..."
"Himura." the tall man greeted.
"Ken-chan, who's the beautiful lady behind you?" the tall lady asked, smiling softly.
"W-watashi w-wa Kamiya Kaoru d-desu. K-konbanwa." Kaoru stuttered nervously, bowing.
"Oro? Hehe... Gomen, Kaoru, my father, Hiko Seijuro." Kenshin pointed to the large man. Hiko sniffed primly.
Mou! This man is so arrogant! I could just kick his ass! Kaoru thought inwardly.
"My mother, Miza Seijuro." The blue-eyed lady nodded, the soft smile still playing on her lips. "My brother, Shinomori Aoshi." The ice man nodded curtly. "And his girlfriend, Makimachi Misao."
"Hiya Kaoru!" the petite girl greeted cheerfully. Kaoru offered a half-smile.
"So, baka deshi, who is this girl?" Hiko asked, intrigued. Kaoru's smile fell, replaced with a frown.
How can I tell them who I am without embarassing me and Kenshin? Kaoru thought grimly. What should I--
"She's my girlfriend." Kenshin's voice jolted her out of her thoughts. After processing everything in her mind, her jaw dropped.
G-girlfriend? What the heck? Kaoru thought frantically, mind a whirl.
"So you finally got a girl, baka deshi." Hiko boomed. Scrutinizing Kaoru, he said, smirking, " You're acceptable."
NANI?! How dare he?! I'll show this arrogant man! Kaoru thought.
"I beg your pardon, good sir? I didn't quite catch the last part..." Kaoru said, smiling sarcastically.
Tossing his head arrogantly, he grinned smugly, "Don't you have ears, little one?" Kaoru fumed. "I said--"
"Hiko Seijuro." That dangerously deceptive oh-so-sweet voice. Hiko stopped, sweatdropping slightly.
"I believe that our lovely guest is tired. She will be staying here, right, Kenshin?" Miza asked sweetly.
"Yeah, Mom. In fact, she will be staying here until... until her parents got back from... France!" Kenshin sputtered.
"I don't want to trouble you..." Kaoru whispered.
"Of course not, Kaoru-dear! You're very much welcome here in the Seijuro mansion, right, Hiko?"
"Yeah, sure." he said gruffly.
"See?" Kaoru sweatdropped. "Now, Kenshin, make our guest comfortable. Hiko, let's go." Miza smiled disarmingly. The couple left, Hiko's cape swishing behind him. When they were out of hearing, Misao leaned conspiratorially to Kaoru.
"Tell me the juicy details later, okay?" she winked. Then...
"You're not Himura's real girlfriend, are you, Miss Kamiya?"
Japanese Terms:
1. jou-chan- Sano's nickname for Kaoru meaning "little missy"
2. arigato- thank you
3. sayonara- goodbye
4. baka deshi- stupid pupil, Hiko's nickname for Kenshin
5. shishou- master
6. konbanwa- good evening
7. gomen- sorry
A/N: Just in case you wanna know, Miza is mine. Her original name is Miza Kawasaki but i added her here as Hiko's wife so she became Miza Seijuro, ok? and Kenshin and Aoshi are surrogate sons of Hiko but they didn't change their surnames... you'll find out why on the later chapters, anyway... hehehe!

"Kaoru?"
"Mm?" Her eyes fluttered to a close.
"Oyasumi nasai." He leaned forward, kissing her tenderly on the forehead. She blinked.
