Seresute: This is my first fic so R&R. Just don't be to harsh.

Disclaimer: If I owned Rurouni Kenshin it would be on every day, and it's not, so think about it.

Chapter 1:A secret in the woods

The late summer air was crisp and had a feeling of autumn in it. Kenshin was outside doing the laundry. He heard Kaoru start screaming at Yahiko again and looked up.

"You'll Pay For That Yahiko-Chan!!!" Kaoru screamed

"you'll have to catch me first Ugly, and I'm not little!!!" He screamed back

"What did you call me?!?!?!?!?!?!" She screamed

Yahiko turned and started screaming

"UGLY, UGLY, UGLY, UGLY!!!"

BAM!!!!!!!!

Yahiko had run straight into a tree.

"Didn't see that coming" Kenshin thought to himself.

"HAHA" she said when she got to where he was lying on the ground, unconscious.

After a few minutes Yahiko woke up. Kaoru was standing over him. After she made sure he was okay she started to hit him on the head with her bokken, where he already had a huge bump.

"Ow! stop!" he was screaming

When Kaoru didn't stop Kenshin decided it was time to step in.

"Kaoru-dono you should stop hitting him, that you should."

After hitting Yahiko one more time she stopped.

"He took my hair ribbon." She pouted.

Kenshin now noticed her hair was down.

"Busu was being a jerk" Yahiko said in his defense.

"I just told him to stop complaining and finish his 1000 swings" She replied innocently looking at kenshin.

"Will they ever stop" Kenshin mumbled

"WHAT" Kaoru and Yahiko screamed at the same time.

"Nothing" kenshin said and turned toward the dojo.

"I will be making dinner, that I will" he told them and he walked inside.

"YAY!!!! EDIBLE FOOD AGAIN" Yahiko screamed in delight.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AGAIN" Kaoru screamed at him.

"I MEAN YOUR FOOD IS POISON!!!!A STARVING PERSON WOULDN'T EAT IT!!!!"

"I'LL GET YOU YAHIKO-CHAN!!!" They started chasing each other again

Kenshin got out the tofu and started to cut it, thinking how even if their lives depended on it they would never get along. He finished with the tofu and started on the rice. The dojo gate creaked open, but kenshin didn't even need to look up, he knew the ora.

It was sano.

"Wow" he thought sarcastically.

"Sano is back what a surprise"Sano had been coming to the dojo a lot lately.

Kenshin looked out the window at sano. He was saying hi to Kaoru and Yahiko, and asking where kenshin was. A minute later he was in the kitchen.

"What's for dinner" he asked.

"Just tofu and rice, nothing special" Kenshin replied still looking out the window, more specifically, at Kaoru.

"Kenshin and Kaoru sittin in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love th...."

He stopped Kenshin had gone battousai.

"You should be quit. Kaoru-dono and I are just good friends" He said

"S..Sorry" Said scared.

"No I am sorry I don't know what came over me" kenshin replied.

Kaoru and Yahiko walked in, both in better moods. Kaoru had gotten her ribbon back and yahiko, well, he was just happy for some reason.

"Yahiko-chan why are you so ugly?" Sano asked just to annoy Yahiko.

"I am not ugly, and I am not LITTLE" he screamed and started to bite sano's hair.

"Get off me" Sano said trying to get yahiko off his head.

He finally got Yahiko off and got that evil look in his eyes.

"Time to die" he said quietly and menacing.

"AHHHHHH!!!"yahiko managed to say before he started to run for his life.

"STOP IT!!!!!!!!" Kaoru screamed

"If you are gonna kill yourselves do it outside!" with that she picked up the ladle and wacked them both on the head.

They backed away from the crazy lady slowly, but when they got outside they resumed the chasing and the killing.

"They are just as bad as you and yahiko Kaoru-dono." kenshin said turning around just in time to get hit in the head with Kaoru's ladle. Ow was all kenshin could say.

"I will go back to making dinner now, that I will" he said quietly, rubbing his forehead.

"I'm sorry kenshin, can I help?" Kaoru asked him.

"Of course Kaoru-dono. You can set the table for me." He replied

Kaoru got out the silverware and set the table.

"Anything else I can do" she asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"You can put this on the table" he said handing her a bowl of rice.

She put the bowl on the table and looked out the window Sano and Yahiko had stopped chasing each other and were sitting down under a tree, catching their breath.

"I'll go get Sano and Yahiko" kenshin said putting the plate of tofu down and a pot of tea.

Kaoru had just started to put food on the plates when Sano and Yahiko came in. They imedietly started stuffing their faces. When kenshin didn't come back after a few minutes kaoru started to get worried.

"Do either of you know where kenshin is?" She asked the other to.

They were to busy stuffing their faces to answer though so they just shook their heads.

Kaoru got up and walked out the door to look for him. She looked around the dojo twice. She looked on the roof, in the trees, everywhere, except the woods next to the dojo. She went over to the edge of the woods and called Kenshin's name. She didn't get an answer. She looked up at the sky and saw a flock of ducks flying south for the winter. It would be September soon, but it was getting cold fast. A cool wind ruffled kaoru's kimono and her hair. She decided she would have to go into the woods. She looked up at the sky again, the sun was quickly going down. She slowly walked into the darkening woods. After a while she found the small bridge going over the stream.

She still hadn't found Kenshin and the sun was almost completely down.

"Maybe he is just farther down" she thought trying to comfort herself.

She got up and walked down the stream farther. The sun was completely gone now and the moon was shining brightly. She listened carefully trying to hear something. Kaoru walked more. After a while she heard something. She walked even quicker hoping it was kenshin and he was okay. A minute later she saw a clearing with someone in it. The stream ended here with a small waterfall the pool at the bottom she guessed was about two feet deep. She walked forward so she could see better. A twig snapped and the person turned around. The moon was bright enough for Kaoru to know who it was. The red hair, and magenta gi gave it away. She gasped and took a step backward. It was kenshin, but something was wrong he was crying.

"Kenshin' was all she could whisper.
