Guess what? I don't own Rurouni Kenshin!
Chapter five:
The next day Kaoru still felt a little embarrassed about the Battousai kissing, well almost kissing, her. She ran her finger across her full lips and actually thought she might like to kiss him…Honto. Did she really think that? Kaoru blushed—even though she was alone, which ended up making her feel rather stupid.
She took a deep sigh. Life was boring compared to what she lived three months ago. She had not battled in awhile or even sparred anyone in along time. Hai, life was boring. How was a girl supposed to entertain herself when three moths ago she had a father, a boyfriend, and plenty of things to do?
She ached to see her father again. She wanted him back so bad. Why did he have to go fight for her? She begged him not too. She loved her father so much….now she was alone! Even the Battousai had left. But where too? She pondered—thinking about Battousai again—she smiled and ran her fingers over her lips once more.
The Battousai was pleasant to look at, she smirked; he had a high pony-tail pulled messily up with his bangs hanging down over his handsome face. He wore dark kimono, which looked good on him. She shook her head and mentally laughed at herself, she needed to get her mind off the Battousai. Kaoru decided to head out to the market.
Kaoru's hair was fixed up neatly; it was pulled up into a sleek ponytail. She had a beautiful red kimono, which brought her raven hair, unlike her usual fighting clothes; she looked quite different.
Kaoru walked around the village looking for something entertaining to do but she just wasn't like the average girl, of course she enjoyed getting new things like accessories and in style kimonos but—she just enjoyed fighting more. She never wanted to kill anyone again though. Kaoru shuddered at those memories.
Kaoru was in deep though and, not looking where she was going, bumped into something hard and muscular.
"Kuso!" she fell on the ground and looked straight into the eyes of a good looking guy. She blushed, "Gomen…"
"It's alright, missy." The guy said with a smirk on his face. He stretched out a hand to the now disheveled girl.
"Arigato" she muttered as he helped her up.
"What is your name?" he said, still smirking. He rather liked pretty girls.
"Um…I am Kaoru Kamiya. Who are you, sir?" she said still embarrassed and also fixing her disheveled hair.
"I am Sanosuke Sagara." He took a drink from his sake and sighed happily.
"You know, that stuff can be unhealthy." Kaoru said in her blunt manner.
"Already telling me what to do?" he laughed and caused Kaoru to blush again.
"You look like your becoming pretty drunk" she pointing her index finger at him, "Your face is getting all red."
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, oh never mind." She laughed, for some reason she liked this guy alright.
Just then a beautiful woman stepped out of a popular clothes shop and place her hands on her slender hips, "Sano, are you drinking again?
"Hai, what is it with you women?"
The woman shook her head, "As a doctor I know it has caused death…"
"Blah, Blah…I know Megumi. I shall die happy then…" he began to sound like a drunken man too.
Kaoru laughed at the whole ordeal.
Megumi—noticing Kaoru for the first time—said, "Now I see why you are out here, a pretty young girl is about." She said placing her hands back on her hips.
"What do you care?"
Megumi got a little pink, "I don't." she insisted.
Kaoru was amused; she had not been around people much lately.
"It was nice meeting you, Sanosuke." Kaoru bowed and went on her way with a smile.
"See ya' round, missy." He said and he too walked off, but not in straight line due to his sake.
Kaoru put her hand over mouth and giggled.
She ended up buying some tofu and only one blue kimono. She figured it was time to get a few new clothes since all her apparel was designed for fighting. Although her money was running a little low, she figured one new kimono was alright.
She got back to her house and was surprised to see a boy on her door step.
"Kamiya Katsushin Ryu style, huh?" he read form the sign.
"Can I help you?" she called.
"Hai, I am here to learn the use of a sword." Said the young boy.
"Really?" she said happily; finally a companion, well sort of.
"Duh, that's what I said."
"Well, isn't he polite!" she thought a little disappointed.
