(A/N: Sorry I haven't updated and for making you all wait this long. I was busy these days. Don't be mad at me! Here's chapter 3!)
Disclaimer: I still don't own Kenshin.

Don't forget to review for me after you've read!
Chapter three:
"Let me go you-Kenshin? Uh... what's going on? What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What are YOU doing?" Kenshin exclaimed loudly waving his arms around, indicating the window.
"What are you talking to about? Oh... you mean that?"
"Yes that! What did you think that you were doing? I thought you were going to commit suicide!"
"Suicide? Why in seven hells would you think that? The window is two feet of the ground!!!"
"Oh. But you could have still gotten hurt!"
"Kenshin, I'm not a baby!"
"I know. Just tell me what you were doing and I'll leave you alone."
"You see Kenshin, I uh, wanted to go on a walk?"
"At two in the morning?" Kenshin asked raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms.
"There is nothing wrong with that! And don't give that look Kenshin Himura!"
"Why didn't you use the door?"
"It was closer?"
'Sometimes I don't get this woman.'
"It's not safe to go out this late at night you know."
"I can take care of myself" Kaoru huffed.
"I know. I'll leave you alone and let you have your rest."
Kenshin bid Kaoru goodnight and hurriedly left the room.
'That Kenshin is such a worry wart!' Kaoru thought as she opened the window and let a snickering dragon in.
"Suicide? This Kenshin of yours is hilarious! I like him already!" She burst out laughing.
"You wanna go now?" Kaoru asked, changing the subject.
"Kaoru? I think we should reschedule and go tomorrow. Flying here all the way from Hokkaido wasn't easy" Yuki yawned, showing how tired she was.
"Sure! We'll wake up early and see the city."
"Okay, I'm fine with that. Now, I'm going to hit the hay. Good night Kaoru." With that she curled up into a ball and fell asleep next to her mistress' pillow.
Kaoru changed into a sleeping yukata and crawled into her bed and let sleep take her.
Early the next morning, the two woke up. No one was up, not even Kenshin. Yuki waited outside the window for Kaoru to get ready.
She dressed herself in a yellow kimono with scattered pink flower petals and a light green obi. Then she tied her hair up in a ponytail with a pink ribbon.
Kaoru jumped out the window and onto the awaiting dragon's back.
"I'm not to heavy am I?"
"I can hardly feel a thing. Let's go!"
They took off. Yuki took them high into the air until they could look over all of Tokyo. Being this high air would have frozen a regular person, but Kaoru was not regular.
"Do you think I should tell them?"
"What do you think?!"
"Well should I?!"
"Tell them what? That you're a powerful ice mage? That you can create blizzards and hail storms? That you cam make snow fall whenever you want? Or that you can shoot icicles from the sky AND your hand? Gee, if I knew one of my friends could do all that then, I would definitely want her to tell me."
"Alright I'll tell them-sooner or later."
"It's your choice. Do whatever you want."
"Let's go back before Kenshin finds me gone and thinks I tried to commit suicide again."
"You know, you guys make an adorable couple (A/N: I think so too!). And right now I have the perfect image of how your baby will look like in my head right now."
"Yuki!"
"Okay, sheesh! But do you think you could teach me how to knit baby clothes?" the dragon asked as they landed on the dojo roof.
In the kitchen, Kenshin was chopping vegetables when Sano, Yahiko, and Megumi walked in.
"Good morning" he greeted.
"Good morning" they chorused back.
"Is the hag up yet?" Yahiko asked.
"Excuse me? I'm standing right here Yahiko-CHAN!" Kaoru voice said from the doorway. She walked in and gave Yahiko a good whack on the head.
"When did you come in?" he asked cradling his abused head.
"She came in a minute ago" Kenshin answered for her.
They all sat down and picked up their chopsticks. Megumi noticed that Kaoru hadn't sat down yet.
"Tanuki, what's wrong? Aren't you going to sit down and eat? The food's going to get cold if you don't hurry up" she said, pointing to her usual seat next to Kenshin.
"I'm not going to eat with you guys today" Kaoru replied.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm going to eat somewhere else. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going. Have a nice breakfast!" she said with a smile.
Before anyone could do or say anything, she had already left the room with two breakfast trays in her hands. She left them staring after her.
"What's wrong with her?" Sano asked.
"And why did she take two trays?" Megumi wondered.
"Ugly is so fat that she has to eat twice as much as us to fill her up" Yahiko laughed.
"Is it me or is Kaoru-dono isolating herself from us? If that's true, why would she?" Kenshin wanted to know.
"Maybe she's hiding something... or someone" Sano suggested.
"Yeah. Maybe she's hiding a man in her room" Yahiko said, catching on.
"She could be spending time with another male right now. And also last night too" Megumi added.
Kenshin's eyes grew wider and wider. 'They're right. There could have been a man on the roof yesterday night. I never went up to check. And she could have been sneaking out to see him. Right now she could be eating breakfast with him! What if he makes a move on her?! What if...'
"Hello? Kenshin, ya there buddy?" Sano asked waving a hand in front of Kenshin's face.
Kenshin slapped his hand away.
"After we eat breakfast, we are all going to search Kaoru-dono's room" Kenshin declared slamming a fist on the table and startling everyone. He started to stuff his face with food while the others sweat dropped. Kenshin was not his usual self this morning.
(A/N: I would have updated yesterday, but then I deleted two pages by accident. I had to retype it. I didn't get to finish and had to go hit the hay.) Please write a review! I don't care how long or short it is! Just give me one!!! I promise to update soon. And did you all notice that I spelt Kaoru name right? Thank you Mewberries-dono for pointing that out for me! I appreciate it.
