Okay, first of all, I am soooo incredibly sorry. I know, I know, I'm such a bad author! I mean a decent one would at least send notice EARLIER if she couldn't update soon. I've just been totally busy and high school is a total drag, killing me. I mean-seriously, my world geography teacher gives us like ten worksheets a day, and that's on a ilazyi day, okay? AND the computer deleted what I had of the second chapter so I beg for your forgiveness.

The least I can do is to give you a hint of what's going to happen.

~Kenshin~

"Kenshin?" Miss Kaoru asked softly.

"Yes, Miss Kaoru?" I answered, looking at her. She was glowing happily and I felt my heart skip a beat. I smiled lightly at the angel before me, her cascade of raven-black hair trailing over her shoulder.

"Would-would you," she began, looking at me earnestly. She paused. "Kiss me?" she said finally, leaning towards me with those luscious pink lips of hers.

"Whaa?" I backed up. "M-Miss Kaoru, are you okay?" She crept closer, crawling on her knees. Oh god, oh god, oh god! As she advanced on me, I tried to fight it, but I felt myself giving in to temptation. Miss Kaoru leaned in farther and I closed my eyes to concede to her request.

You could probably imagine how I felt when I kissed the air. Something heavy landed in my lap. My eyes snapped open to see miss Kaoru, passed out against me. Lovely. I suppose that I was lucky that she passed out.

There, cliffie enough? I hope you are captivated by the preview and I would like to say again that I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience.

BTW: Thanks to all of my reviewers! I love you guys!

Brownie-luving Icee-chan: I know, don't they seem like just perfect little angels that can do no wrong? Well, that's what makes them such perfect characters for my plot! LOL, and it was my honor to have your name in my story. LOL, I suppose you can have Aoshi, though I call dibs on Kenshin.

Wolf11: Thanks! I'm glad you liked my story! [Gives you death-gripping hug]

Victoria: Of course it wouldn't end here, I would NOT want Kenshin to be stepped on... poor Kenshin. I hope he won't be too mad at me for writing about him like this! Thanks for the review!

Bug: Thanks. ^_^x The Battousai protecting the laundry bit is mainly credit owed to my friend, Margaret.

IC: LOL! I'm really glad you like it! I had a hell of a fun time writing it and it's so nice to see that my slaved labor [maybe notsomuch labor] has paid off in make a reviewer happy! God bless ye!

Baubo: I will! I will! LOL, thanks for reviewing!

Eeevee: I know, before I wrote this story, I seriously would have never thought of Sano doing the laundry. I wish I could see it in person.... hahaha... priceless!

LadyWaterShaman: I know, if I didn't know any better I would have thought Ayame to be an old wise woman. But we all know the little girl that has captured our hearts... lol. And Ice Pop, I suppose I should do more with him... [grins maliciously]

Jam: I like your name. Any particular flavor of jam or just jam in general? Your review just warmed my heart! I feel so honored to receive reviews like yours! Thank you oh-so-much from the very bottom of my spleen! [Heart is too over-done, dontcha think?]

Alyssa: I know right! But you can't really blame Kenshin. After it was Ayame, Suzume, Megumi, and Sano that tricked him and Miss Kaoru, remember? It's so unfair that we don't have any classes together now. But I'm sooo freaking happy to be free of Mrs. Anderson! The old bitch!

Lil'Elf: Hmm... I wonder who this could be. LOL, hey Tiffie! How ya doing girlfriend? LOL, thanks for the review, I don't believe I've ever gotten so many compliments in my life!

DarkSora: Thank you soooooo much for the review! I hope you keep reading and I hope that I can get off my lazy ass and write more! LOL, thanks again!

And to anyone who didn't get mentioned, if there WERE anymore reviewers, I'm incredibly sorry and I love you and I will love you forever!
