"Kaoru?"
"Yes Kenshin?" Kaoru replied to the man that she loved more than the sun itself.
"Would you like to go on a vacation to Yokohama?" Kenshin asked preying that she would say yes.
"Of Course Kenshin!" Kaoru replied so happily.
"Great I'll have Sano watch over the dojo and..."
"Megumi!" Kaoru interrupted.
"oro!?"
"Have Megumi watch the dojo, I'm sick and tired of cleaning up sake out of the dojo."
"hai, hai." Without another word Kenshin headed out for the clinic.
Half an hour later Kenshin arrived and stepped in to see Megumi and Dr. Gensai putting stitches on a moaning man of about 40's shoulder.
"Excuse me..." Kenshin started and Megumi Quickly turned around with a large grin.
"Yes Ken-san, what can I do for you?" Seeing Kenshin stare at the man she said quickly, "Don't worry were just about done and Dr. Gensai doesn't need me any more." And without a responds from Kenshin she grabbed his elbow and dragged him out to the hall. "So what do you want to discuss with me?"
"Well I was wondering if you would watch the dojo for me and Kaoru for a week..." Kenshin started but was interrupted by Megumi.
"So I see you're finally going to spend the night with her in a romantic city with flowers, chocolates and ki-"
"NO, NO! Were just going out for a vacation together and nothing more!" Kenshin said his face turning the color of his hair not knowing that his plan would be found out so quickly.
"Oh Ken-san I was just kidding!" Megumi responded with fox ears. "But yes I will watch the dojo for two lovebirds!"
"Thank you Megumi-dono" Kenshin said in a monotone. He walked away without another word. Kenshin thought in his head 'It would have been easier to talk to a drunken Sano...' He entered the dojo and started cooking dinner looking forward to his week alone with Kaoru.
two weeks later
"Kenshin catch up!" Kaoru yelled like a four year old running from an older brother.
"Kaoru, do we have to go into every single shop?" Kenshin stated feeling his wallet get very light. And his feet hurting from running everywhere.
"YES!!" Kaoru said in her childish tone. She didn't want to tire Kenshin but she hadn't been to Yokohama since there train ride there and they weren't there that long then. So far she had bought three kimonos and three hair ribbons to match.
Then out of the blue Kaoru stopped. "What's the matter Kao-" Kenshin started but stopped when he followed her eyes, they landed on a women running from four men chasing her with swords and daggers. The women wore a white kimono with a pink obi but her face was covered by a large umbrella hat (A/N you know like the ones that cover the face and keep you dry in the rain...) Without a second thought Kenshin ran with god-like speed toward the men that were harassing this woman. Kenshin pulled out his Sakabatou (reverse-bade sword) and then all the men were lying on the ground "sleeping" He went to the woman to see if she was injured. But when he went up to her she thought it would be best to properly thank him, so she took of her hat and looked up to Amber eyes.
Kenshin just stared without thinking grabbed the woman and started kissing her lips for she looked exactly like Tomoe. A loud crack was heard throughout the crowd that sounded like a gunshot but it was the woman's had slapping Kenshin's cheek.
"You! How dare you do that to me!" She screamed at him at the top of her lungs. She ran as fast as she could away from him and Kenshin just stood in shock and then heard footsteps slowly inching away from him. 'Kaoru!' Kenshin thought but before he could say anything...
"Kenshin...how could you I thought that you loved me?" Kaoru said barely audible breaking into tears.
