DISCLAIMER…. I don't own it…. Sad right??
A/N Hey everyone….. Oh fine… since you all love it I'll continue it… On with it!! Oh yes…. Kenshin pops up in this chappie! enjoy!
FROM THE PREVIOUS CHAPPIE….
Kenshin put up a hand to silence her, "No Tomoe, it's not your fault at all. After all, you can't force your emotions right? Well I also have something to confess to you as well."
Tomoe gave him a small smile, "What is it Kenshin? Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you for it."
From behind the large tree, Kaoru slowly peered at them and listened even more closely to what Kenshin had to say. "Well Tomoe, even when we were together, I still… I still had feelings for Kaoru though it was quite faint. I tried to get over her, but I… I…"
Tomoe smiled softly, "Say no more Kenshin, it's alright. I knew it anyway, from the way you looked when you'd talk about her. But tell me one thing, why…"
They then heard someone's cell phone ring behind the large tree. They then turned to see a familiar sapphire-eyed lass…
CURRENT CHAPPIE….
The ex-couples' eyes widened in shock as Kaoru gave a nervous laugh, "Oh hi Kenshin and Tomoe!"
Kenshin sweatdropped, "Um, what are you doing behind the tree Kaoru?"
Kaoru mentally cursed, 'Damn you Yahiko for calling me… grrr….'
Kaoru blinked, "Oh I was just um… You know walking around the park and er…. I got really, really, REALLY exhausted that I didn't have the energy to walk so you know, I sorta… collapsed here for a… short nap… Yeah, a short nap! That was until my cell phone rang and um… You know… Oh dear, I have a miss call…"
Kenshin raised an eyebrow, "And the kimono?"
Kaoru tugged lightly at the silk material, "Oh the kimono? Oh um I was err… attending a dinner function around here and er… I needed some fresh air… And um… you know…"
Kenshin nodded his head disbelievingly, "Right, I'll take your word for it."
Tomoes smacked Kenshin lightly, "Kenshin, there are sometimes times when girls lose their energy due to um… How should I explain it to an idiot like you… Its girls' stuff you know! Well it's um… monthly… So Kaoru, I presume it's quite a heavy flow right?"
Kaoru nodded her head, "Oh yes, I get cramps and headaches… Ouchies… It really hurts…"
Kenshin scratched his head, "Um… I don't exactly understand what you both mean."
Tomoe growled, "Argh, never mind that… Here, let me help you up Kaoru."
She then held out a hand and helped Kaoru who was pretending to wobble to walk slowly. Kaoru smiled gratefully at her, "Thanks Tomoe-san."
Tomoe returned the smile, "Nah, it wasn't anything, hee hee…"
"I'd better give my brother a call since he was the one who miss called…" Said Kaoru softly as she dialed the number.
Kaoru's ears perked up a little when she heard Yahiko's angry voice, "Yahiko? Yeah sorry about not picking up the phone… I was taking a little nap… Yes, um… girl problems… Yes yes… Oh shut up you little brat, do you really wanna die? Fine fine, I'll meet you at the store… Okies, bye loser…"
She clicked her phone shut, "Little brat…"
Tomoe chuckled softly, "Pure sibling rivalry… Just like me and my younger twin brother, Enishi… Have you met him? He's in your school… Well he doesn't look like me… Yukishiro Enishi.."
Kaoru tapped her chin lightly, "I think I've heard of him… He has silver hair which is spiked up with tons of gel and has violet eyes?"
Tomoe nodded, "Yep, that's him. C'mon, lets go help you get to you brother who's at the gift shop down there."
Kaoru smiled gratefully once more, "Thank you so much once again."
Kenshin protested, "I'll carry her there… Tomoe, you just lead us to that shop there where Yahiko is waiting for Kaoru."
He then scooped up Kaoru's petite form into his strong arms and the trio kept quiet the whole time during the walk to the gift shop. When they had finally arrived, they had expected to see a fuming Yahiko, but were certainly surprised to find him acting quite peculiar.
His small back was leaning against the scraped white wall which had many peelings as he looked up into the navy blue sky, with a dazed look crossing over his features as a brilliant red covered his cheeks. His grin was like a fool who had just seen the young lass he was deeply and madly in love with.
Kaoru smirked, "Yahiko-chan, what's up with the look?"
Yahiko snapped out of his trance, "Eh? Oh um nothing busu… I was just um… really bored here… Oh… Busu, you flirt!"
Now it was Kenshin and Kaoru's turn to blush. "Yahiko, its not what you think… Sick pervert… I knew that I shouldn't have left you with Sano that day to cheer you up with jokes when you had the flu. Typical, he cracked up his usual porny ones, that's how your mind got… filthy at such a young age."
Yahiko sighed, "Busu, its not Sano… It's my hormones, but then again those jokes of his are simply… Satisfying, if you're feeling all… you know.."
"Hentai," Kaoru muttered under her breath which caused Kenshin and Tomoe to chuckle.
Kenshin then stopped his chuckling, "Come, let's get you 2 home now. Yahiko, show me where you live."
20 MINUTES LATER
Kaoru heaved a sigh of relief once Kenshin and Tomoe had left the house which wasn't long ago. She also thanked Buddha for the fact that her mother had gone out to dinner with some old school friends of hers back from their primary days. Kaoru then got up from her bed and walked down the stairs trying to avoid Yahiko's who's big, innocent chocolate coloured eyes were glued to the square box; the television.
She then sneaked into the kitchen to make a cup of tea for herself to sooth her alarming nerves. After taking a sip from her porcelain cup and closing her eyes for less than a second she heard a familiar voice say, "Ah busu, I knew you were faking all this time, ha! I knew it, you just wanted to see what it was like if Kenshin carried you."
Kaoru glared at him, "What makes you think so?"
Yahiko snorted as a smug grin crossed his features, "Well it's pretty obvious you know… You've always had feelings for him, haven't you?"
Kaoru shook her head before taking another sip, "Of course not. I just think he's a sweet, good-looking guy, nothing more."
Yahiko sighed, "Busu, just tell me the truth I mean it's no use lying to me. I'm not gonna tell anyone anyway… Besides I'm your sweet little brother aren't I?"
Kaoru choked on her tea, 'Oh sure sweet little BRATTY brother who causes chaos in every single day of my poor, miserable life.'
Kaoru turned her back to him, "Would you like a cup of tea or hot chocolate Yahiko?"
"Nope… Hey, don't try to avoid the topic Kaoru!" Replied a frustrated Yahiko.
Kaoru pretended that she didn't hear him, "Oh well I'm going to bed now Yahiko-chan… Be sure to turn off the lights and everything else, nighty night."
She then locked the door of her bedroom and flopped onto her bed. She then thought about the day's events before turning off the lamp on her bedside and drifting off into a deep slumber….
SATURDAY MORNING
Mrs. Kamiya handed the house keys to her eldest child, "Kaoru-chan, I'm going shopping with my friends and won't be back till late. Yahiko-chan's going to Yutaro's place for a sleepover so it's just you at home. Are you sure you're fine with it?"
Kaoru nodded her head, "Yeah I just feel like staying at home and chilling for a bit. Plus I want to study for the up-coming exams so this'll be a good opportunity since I don't have any homework."
Mrs. Kamiya smiled warmly, "I'm so proud that you're studying hard Kaoru-chan. I've got the spare keys and I think I'll only reach home like maybe around 2am… You'd be asleep by then I'm sure. Bye dear."
Once Mrs. Kamiya was gone, she closed the main door and headed up to her room to start on her revision. An hour later when she was halfway through finishing her math revision, the doorbell rang. She got up and quickly rushed downstairs to open the door, revealing a familiar girl with beautiful dark eyes.
Kaoru smiled, "Oh hi Tomoe… What brings you here?"
Tomoe returned the smile, "Hi Kaoru, I just decided to drop over for a visit and I do need to discuss something important…"
"Alright, please come in… Let me grab some snacks for us," She gestured.
After laying out the tea and snacks, Tomoe said, "Kaoru I need to talk to you about… Kenshin.."
Kaoru dropped her chocolate bar onto the floor as Kenshin's name echoed continuously in her mind….
