Assassins Girl

By Chee-dono and Bri-chan

Startling Discoveries


Kaoru, and an over-excited Misao were standing in the elevator, tapping their feet impatiently. Both had robes, but while Kaoru's was around her body, Misao had hers slung over her shoulder, standing in her bikini.

The bell dinged as they hit ground level and Misao practically knocked an old woman in her haste to get out. They neared the pool area in record time, thanks to Misao dragging Kaoru there, and glanced around the large room.

The pool was large, taking up almost all of the room, but there were two hot tubs in one corner. On each corner, and in some places around the edges, of the pool there were some shrubs and decorative bushes. The room had a glass roof, showing the bright sun shining through, but the light was dimmed enough that it didn't burn their eyes.


Upstairs, in Kaoru and Misao's room, one of Kaoru's bags stirred. The twitching bag stopped moving and a zipper was pulled. Brown eyes appeared in the depths of the bag, and a light cackling was heard.

"No one leaves Kamiya Yahiko behind on a trip of a lifetime."

And with that, the boy crawled out of the bag, heading for the pool, intent on spying on his stupid, unknowingsister.


Kaoru sat her towel on one of the chairs and collapsed on it. Kenshin wasn't here yet…

Oh yeah. Neither were Aoshi and Sano…

Her eyes rushed to any sign of red. Misao giggled from the pool and splashed her friend a little.

"C'mon Kaoru! The water feels so good! You can look for Himura from here."

Kaoru stood up and nodded, untying her robe and letting it fall behind her. She tried to ignore her blushing cheeks. It was a bathing suit Misao had picked out, and was undoubtedly very revealing. She began walking towards the pool, heading past a bush.

"Himura?"

She stopped and looked back at the bush, noticing it was moving slightly. She shook her head and continued, before stopping again. That voice…so familiar…

She pulled the bushes aside and gasped, her face contorting into a scowl.

"YAHIKO!"

"Damn…"

"YAHIKO?"

"Oro?"

She whirled around and gasped. There, with a slightly amused, slightly confused look on his face, was Kenshin. His hair had been let down, and fell over his shoulders slightly, setting off his tanned skin (AN: I'm giggling. Really. I love describing Kenshin…-dreamy sigh-) , and shimmering a deep red, a few gold highlights appearing from the suns rays. His violet eyes were wide and his mouth pulled into a grin. His chest…

'Oh…my…god…'

He was definitely a good…no, perfect man. Perfect.

"Ano…hello, Kenshin! This is my little brother Yahiko, who should not be here!"

She yelled the last part and lunged at him, ready to strike him down. She gasped as strong arms circled her waist, pulling her away from the poor boy. She glanced back and saw a slightly red Kenshin, holding her back. She gaped and pulled back, trying to get out of his arms. Unfortunately, this movement pushed her back into him, and they teetered for a moment on the edge of the pool, praying…praying…

Kami-sama does not like this couple…

They fell backwards with a splash, Kenshin taking most of the hit. As they surfaced, Kaoru sputtered and Kenshin blinked in confusion. Misao was standing above them, Yahiko's collar in her hands.

"Maybe you and Himura should take Yahiko upstairs. I'll tell Aoshi-sama and Sanosuke where you went, Himura. I've got a feeling…maybe you should accompany them? I don't think Kaoru's mother would like it if Yahiko was killed…"

They both nodded, blushing. They pulled themselves out of the pool and Kaoru grabbed her robe, pulling the belt out of it. She approached Yahiko with a murderous look in her eyes.

A few moments later, the belt was wrapped around his hands securely and a grinning Kaoru was leading him to the elevator, Kenshin struggling not to laugh. This girl had quite a temper. She had wanted to wrap it around his neck, but Kenshin had convinced her to…be less aggressive.

Hm…she was very interesting indeed…


"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you…you snuck on the plane! That's illegal! I'll get into trouble, you'll get into trouble, okaasan will get-"

Kenshin placed a hand over the fuming girls mouth, sitting on her bed next to her, stopping her from yelling at Yahiko, who was sitting on Misao's bed.

"I am sure everything will be explained if you let Yahiko-chan explain…ne?"

She nodded, blushing at his fingers on her lips. He removed his hand and stared pointedly at Yahiko. The boy had taken a liking to this strange man, no matter how…weird his sister acting around him. Somehow he knew he could trust this Himura Kenshin.

"I did not sneak on. I bought my plan ticket, using my money, brilliant cunning, and pure genius."

Kaoru lifted an eyebrow, unimpressed.

"You used Tsubame, didn't you?"

Tsubame was a girl who's father worked at the airport. She was in Yahiko's class, and both were rather taken with each other. She had undoubtedly asked for her fathers help in arranging this without Yahiko's mothers knowledge.

Yahiko slumped, nodding slightly. Kaoru sighed, exasperated.

"Aren't you afraid of how…scared okaasan is? She's probably worried sick right no-"

The phone rang. All three stared at it a moment before Kenshin picked it up.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I must have the wrong number. I was trying to reach Kamiya Kaoru, but I guess this isn't her so…"

Kaoru gasped and grabbed the phone from Kenshin.

"Okaasan?"

"Kaoru? Who was that boy? Are you in your room with- never mind! Yahiko is missing! I don't know what to do! I've been looking ever since you left yesterday."

"Okaasan, he's here." She winced as she prepared for her mother's screech of anger. When there was nothing, she opened one eye precariously.

"I'm so glad! He'll have to stay there. I've got to go help your aunt, she's about to go into labor. I was going to call a baby sitter, but he'll be fine there."

"But okaasan! He can't stay with us! Ms. Tae does daily room checks, and if he's caught, I'll get kicked off the trip."

Kenshin tapped her shoulder and she blinked at him, turning to gaze into purple eyes.

"Ano…he could stay with Aoshi, if he needs to. I don't think you should get kicked off your trip. I'm sure Aoshi won't mind at all," he said, smiling as her face became relieved.

"Oh, really Kenshin? Arigatou! Thank you so much! Okaasan, did you hear?"

"I did…but can you trust this man and his friends? I don't want anything to happen to either of you."

Kaoru closed her eyes, embarrassed. Kenshin had heard her mother, that was obvious. Now…oh Kami-sama…

"Okaasan, Kenshin is a very sweet man, and we can trust him. And if he says that Yahiko can stay with Aoshi, I think it'll be okay."

The line was silent for a moment, and all three held their breath. Then…

"Okay…but if anything happens, call me. I'll be at your aunt and uncles house, okay? I love you."

"Love you too. Bye."


"He's what!"

The three were down by the pool again, staring at an outraged Misao, confused Sano, and emotionless Aoshi.

"I was hoping his butt would be kicked right back onto the plane! He gets to stay?"

Misao, though she pretended not to, cared about Yahiko, and vice versa. The thing was…Misao lost a lot of that love when Yahiko cut her braid off after she teased him by dropping a spider down his shirt. It had taken her 5 years to grow it back.

"Misao, it's fine. Lets…just move on."

Everyone nodded, and Yahiko's shoulder sagged with relief. He smiled gratefully at his sister, who collapsed on a chair as he jumped into the pool, splashing Misao and earning a shriek.

"Oh Kaoru…"

Blue eyes swung to see a smirking Sano and grinning Kenshin. Aoshi was standing off in a corner of the pool, watching Misao attempt to kill Yahiko with a beach ball.

"Hai…?"

The pair smiled at each other wickedly, before splashing her. She gasped, standing up. Her eyes emitted teasing rage. She neared them both with a slow, willful walk. They gulped.

Oh, damn it. This wasn't good.

The group stood laughing in the elevator, dripping wet. They had been in the pool for two hours, and even Aoshi had grabbed a water gun and sprayed Misao, the corners of his mouth twitching as she blushed.

The girls sighed as the males took to their respective rooms. After showing and drying their hair, Kaoru jumped on her bed, an ecstatic smile on her face. Misao flung herself onto her bed as well, a similar look on her face.

"So…"

Kaoru turned to see a slyly smiling Misao.

"So…?"

"So, what did you think of Himura?"

Kaoru blushed, grabbing her pillow and flinging it at Misao.

"Misao! They're right next door!" she hissed.


"Sh…Kenshin, I'm trying to listen…"

Kenshin looked up from his book and rolled his eyes. He took off the offending headphones playing music, and stopped the CD player. Sano had opened the door leading to the girl's room, and was pressed up against their door, intent on listening to their conversation.

"You should not be listening to Kaoru-dono and Misao-dono. Its not poli-"

Sanosuke motioned for him to be quiet and Kenshin clearly heard whispers through the wall.

"So, what did you think of Himura?"

He flushed slightly, and leaned closer, curious to Kaoru's answer. He fought the urge to pout when all he heard was a thump and "Misao! They're right next door!"


Kaoru paused, pillow in hand. She had heard something…voices. Her head turned to the door that connected the rooms. (AN: In certain hotels and resorts, pairs of rooms have two doors that lead to the other room. If you open the door on your side, all you'll see is another door, unless they open theirs. Lets pretend that's this room, ne?)

She tiptoed to the door and opened it, growling as Sanosuke fell forward. She heard an 'Oro!' and looked up to see Kenshin, sitting on a couch with a book in his hands. She blushed and stepped over the prone man on the floor, who was currently being hit with a pillow by Misao.

"Ano…konbanwa Kenshin! Ano…what was going on in here?"

She was rather surprised when Kenshin reddened and coughed, tilting his head to the side in an innocent way that made her melt.

"It seems Sano does not respect others…privacy, de gozaru."

She growled and turned to Sanosuke. Clenching her pillow, she fought back a blush. 'Did Kenshin hear what Misao said? Thank Kami-sama I didn't say anything…'

She stepped onto the man and lifted his head with her stocking clad foot. When she had his gaze, she smirked.

"This means war, Sagara."


Whoosh. Another chapter. And here are some notes from the muses, Kenshin and Bri-chan:

Chee: I can't believe you survived. Its amazing. Kenshin probably held back a bit. He knew I'd be unhappy if I lost you…-holds microphone to Bri- How did you do it?

Kenshin: ...-narrows eyes-

Bri: ...-jumps in front of Chee- NO! You can't hurt her!

Meg: ...-sweatdrop- He wouldn't hurt me...

Kenshin: Oro? This one would never hurt Meg-dono!

That was stupid -

OHH! BIG NEWS! I was extremely upset at only recieving 3 reviews for the first chapter. BUT, I will be giving you three a reward.

For the next chapter, there will be mentionings of a party, which will probably be the fourth chapter. You three will get to play a part in my story, if you want to. If not, then eh...

Anywho, two of you will be Kaoru's GIRL classmates. I need character info, like personality, physical appearence, age, and other details.

The other character will be part of Kenshin's assassination group, but that won't be till later on. -holds finger to lips- Same stuff goes for you, as in I need charrie info.

Okay, its a first-come-first-serve thing, so if you want a certain part, go for it now. The people who are eligible FOR these parts are (since they're the only ones who can CLICK a button and type words, apparently.):

animeobssessed3191,

Yu-Gi-Ah 2.0, and

I've been getting ideas for Inuyasha and RuroKen songfics/one-shots. I may be doing some of those, so keep an eye out! Its harder to find something for Inu, cause…ah…well.
