Disclaimer: UH! Why bother? We all know that I dun' own Rorouni Kenshin. And no… I don't like Saito… Shishio…Owanbo…the guy with the turtle shell and eyes of the heart thingy (He's a big fan of master kame from dragon ball) same goes for the old man with the pet giant. But I do like Kenshin (oro?) … Shogo Amakusa (isn't he dreamy?) Soujiro from jupon gatana (he's all smiles) …Soujiro Hiko (he really have to lose that darn cape) …Shojo (Lady Magdala's sidekick or baby sitter) … Aoshi shinomori (Misao will probably hunt me down…but what the heck)…OH yeah! And contrary to fast spreading news… I am having an affair with neither Dr. Gensai nor Okina! I am merely attracted to Sanosuke Segara but that's that. (Attraction is very different from love okay.)
Author's note: How 'bout that for a little twist? In this chapter, well…I made Kaoru to be a little more violently aggressive. Sorry for all those Kaoru fans… believe me it was really against my will but my hands can't stop writing. It's like it's possessed or something. o (I'm sorry if this sucks…)
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chapter III: Does it show?
Meanwhile back at the dojo…"Oh! That dress is very pretty Christine…" Kaoru complimented the blonde British girl who twirled around wearing a pink gown.
"You think so?" Christine asked as she reached for another dress inside her trunk.
"But I like the blue one better" Kaoru continued.
"Really? You do?" Christine reached out for the blue dress that hung over the futon and gave it to Kaoru. "Why don't you try it on? I'm sure you would look nice in it."
"M-me?" Kaoru stuttered at the thought that she will be wearing something far more different than a kimono and her training uniform.
Christine shoved Kaoru to try it on and …
"You look absolutely fabulous! AH! I know! " She said as she clapped her hands in the thought of a nice idea. "I'm giving that one to you… since I'm getting married and all" she said with a wink.
Kaoru smiled "oh yes… I wonder what it's like to be married…" she said while dreamily imagining Kenshin and herself getting married.
"Ai-yah! I forgot to check my order for the layered cake!" Christine exclaimed.
"C'mon Christine… let's check it out together." Sano said while leaning on the doorpost.
"S-Sano Kun?" she asked
"Kaoru …" Sano turned to the girl who was busy checking out the blue dress she is wearing. "Is that really you?" rub his eyes
"What are you talking about Sano? Of course it's me…" she said flintily as she kept twirling around in the blue dress.
"Isn't she cute Sano kun?" Christine asked her soon husband to be.
Sano bursts into laughter…" yeah! I almost didn't recognize you behind all those stump of fabrics!"
Kaoru turns to battle mode and threw her ever-famous tantrum at Sano together with all the things that she could get her hands on "YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHOLE SANOSUKE! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY COMPLIMENT A WOMAN! HOW HEARTLESS CAN YOU BE?!!!! YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL!!! HYAAAAAHHH!"
"Whoa Kaoru! Calm down will ya! I was just joking! You look pretty neat in that what do you call that anyway?" Sano compensated
"Gown" both girls answered
"Whatever…as long as you don't make me wear that." Sano rubbed his hair
Both girls giggled
"What?! What's so damn funny?!" he asked irritably
"Sano… that just proves what a simpleton you are! Gowns are only worn by girls… unless…oh Sano… do you wanna try it on?" Kaoru had that sly smile on her lips.
"C'mon Christine let's just go and check out that cake…" Sano pulled Christine's hand and led her out of the room, leaving Kaoru behind giggling.
"Kenshin, we're going to the bakeshop to check the cake…do you want to come along?" Christine asked the red head samurai as she drifted past him.
"Oro?" he said as he looked at Christine, being pulled out by Sanosuke. "S-Sano?"
Sano gave him the look and said "yeah… we're going to check the cake. " and he continued to drag the blonde girl out of the dojo and into the carriage.
Inside the carriage…
Christine leaned on the window and said; "you know… when I first met you at the dock… I thought you were brusque and mean…but you turned out to be pretty okay… " She gave that puppy dog eyes ensemble and continued, "I guess if I'm starring to fall for you…"
"WHAT?!!!!" Sano shrieked as he paced away from the petite blonde girl. "Y-You said that this is just-! Quit joking around!"
Christine rolled on the carriage floor laughing her head off.
"So you were joking…" Sano realized that he just fell for another one of Christine's little joke. "I'm such a sucker…" he leaned on the window and coincidentally, caught a glimpse of Megumi with a blonde young man. "What the-" his eyes widened as if he bore the expression of a guy who just saw Elvis Presley buying a burger from burger king. What is this? Megumi is walking side by side with a guy and what's worse is that she looked like she was enjoying his company…(A/N: oh wait let me correct that…there's something far more worse than that…the guy is so good looking that Sano'd melt beside him…. now that's worse…)
"Is there something wrong Sano kun?" Christine examined Sano's face and pinched his cheek…
"Ouch!" he exclaimed. Although he wasn't quite sure which had hurt more Christine's pinch or seeing Megumi with another man…
Sano stuck his head out of the carriage window to have a better look but it was too late and too far. Megumi and the blonde guy had disappeared from his sight.
After the carriage incident, both proceeded to the cake shop in town. Knowing Sano, he loves anything that is completely edible (A/N: sometimes…even the not so edible…) Sano almost drooled at the site of the many various kinds of sweets that were displayed in the glass display cases inside the store.
"Good evening Ms. Archibald!" greeted the baker whom, by his looks, may be a British like Christine.
"Good evening Papa uncle!" Christine cheerfully waved at the fat baker as she entered the counter.
"Is he the lucky man?" the fat bearded British baker asked as he eyed Sano's rugged physical appearance. "Isn't he a bit too extreme?" the baker whispered to the blonde girl
Christine giggled and smiled. She took Sano's arm and wrapped herself around it. "Silly papa uncle! Sano's a very nice person and he's going to help me bring back my Francine! Right Sano? " She asked the rooster head
"Uh…huh? Oh yeah…of course…" and he turned to the window outside.
Christine noticed that there was indeed something that was bothering her friend but she decided to open up the topic later and returned her attention to the baker and began to converse about her cake dilemma.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
