Yo my hommies! I'm back and so is the next chapter. Sorta procrastinating so I don't have to do my Civics homework, or study for exams. I hate Civics, if you've read my other stories you can tell. Only two weeks and I never have to see the demon they call my teacher. YES YES YES!

Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin it belongs to the mater genius Nobuhiro Watsuki and his affiliations such as Shonen Jump.

P.S. Those that don't have Rurouni Kenshin Greatest Beg/Ending theme go buy it.

Last Chapter

You know tanuki if you wanted alone time with Enishi you could have just said so instead of sneaking off." He winked at Kaoru who turned pink and punched him in the arm. Enishi just laughed again and that was the beginning to a most bizarre summer indeed.

This Chapter

"So they call you Tanuki huh," Enishi smirked. "It suits you"

"Are you implying something?" Kaoru asked.

"Chill out spitfire don't go blowing my head off just cause the shoe fits." He grinned in a sardonic fashion.

"Men" she grunted and rolled her eyes. She glanced around the cramped shack she had been laying in for what seemed like forever.

"C'mon all introduce you to the rest of the guys" Enishi chuckled and grabbed her wrist and went out onto the beach.

Kaoru looked around and found that she was not far from where Tae had parked her car. She could see Megumi and company further down the beach playing with a beach ball showing off their tans in a seductive manner.

There was a group of guys gathered around the small hut. She figured out it was located by some tide pools and a small hill covered in rocks. The guys were waxing their boards or doing what regular guys do. Unintentionally trying to beat each other to a pulp without causing actual damages. (You know when they go steal ppl's stuff and then fight over nothing.) Kaoru always found it slightly animalistic.

Ironic isn't it that humans find themselves more advanced than the whole animal kingdom but they play fight just like most mammal predators.

"So Tanuki, meet the rest of the gang. This is Makoto Shishio, Katsuhiro Tsunan, Shinomori Aoshi, (yay) and you already know Sano, Battousai, and me." Enishi introduced pointing with the appropriately with each turn. "Guys this is Kaoru"

"Yo, ain't she a bit short?" the guy that was called Aoshi spoke up.

"Do you have a problem with short people? I would rather be short than a foot short of being an ice cube personified." Kaoru replied coldly.

"Major diss she served you, better shape up." The Katsu person laughed along with every one besides Aoshi and Battousai.

"By the way," Sano spoke up. "Tanuki here is buds with those girls with the beach ball, so be nice and maybe she'll hook me up with Megumi."

"Tanuki?" the group all laughed as Kaoru stood smoldering. She promptly hit Sano in the stomach and much to her pleasure made an "Oof" sort of sound.

"So Tanuki, I guess you're one of us now." Katsu grinned.

Battousai who had been quietly sitting on a rock till then finally spoke up. "Enishi you can't be seriously considering to let this poor excuse for a girl be in our group do you?"

"Actually that may not be such a bad idea, she looks like she'd add some spice into our monotonous life, what do you think guys?" Enishi drawled lazily. Kaoru wasn't really sure what to say to that and as a result stood there and looked clueless.

There was an assortment of cheers from the guys as they thought over the idea. "I guess you're overruled Battousai old buddy." Sano smirked as he put his arm around Kaoru's neck.

"I think as an induction ceremony Jo-Chan goes and buys us some burgers what do you say?" Sano announced.

Another assortment of cheers rose from the guys. "Fine, fine I'll get you guys some food." Kaoru relinquished. She took her money out of her handy dandy waterproof stuff holder. She took the orders from everyone and began walking to the burger store.

Battousai tapped Enishi on the shoulder and asked to speak with him. "You can't seriously accept her into our group. She doesn't even surf and she's a kid." He blurted when they went inside the hut.

"From what I've heard from Sano she just finished high-school. She was valedictorian and works at the scuba shop and marine lab. I don't think she's that much of a kid." Enishi replied.

"She's hot tempered and temperamental and aggravating, and snobbish, and naïve, and..." Battousai stuttered.

"Spirited, witty, sharp tongued, gorgeous, and has enough brains to contemplate the literary works of Shakespeare. Yeah she's going to drag us down the drain. Listen Kenshin I think she could be a great ally I mean the more the merrier right." Enishi finished for him.

Kenshin couldn't respond and so welcomed his defeat with an amber death glare and a stalk out of the room.

Kaoru was outside with two hamburgers for each guy and was trying her best to hand them out to the hands groping for food without dropping them.

After seeing Battousai go off in a huff she followed him to his rock a few yards away from the hut. He was staring towards the ocean ignoring that her presence completely.

"Hey," Kaoru spoke up, "you could at least look at me when I'm talking to you." Kenshin glanced at her but turned back towards the sea. "Peripheral vision doesn't count." She pouted. She then stood up walked around his rock and sat on another one in front of him but he was staring passed her not at her.

"Here's your burger, you should eat it before it gets cold." Kaoru threw the burger at him, which he easily caught. "Sorry, but Sano took your other one." Kaoru spoke gently. Kenshin looked up curiously at the girl in front of him First she was acting all high and mighty and now what was with the goody two shoos thing. It was to him slightly unnerving.

"I'm not hungry." He replied in his frivolous manner.

"Then you don't have to eat but I bought it for you." Kaoru replied. "Listen, I just want to apologize for the way I acted. I guess I was just a little uptight about it so I'm sorry."

This comment blew Kenshin completely out the water. He didn't know what to expect but this was defiantly a surprise. She blew hot and cold whenever she wanted to.

"So, what do you say we start over I'm Kamyia Kaoru, and you?" she stuck out her hand.

"Himura, Kenshin Himura." He replied absentmindedly.

"Well it's nice to make your acquaintance." She stuck out her hand.

"Well, sorry but I can't say the same." He smirked trying to get on her nerves. "See you around Tanuki!" and he walked passed her towards the shack. "By the way thanks for the burger."

'What an incubus pig of a man' Kaoru fumed as he left.

Well that's the end of chapter two. The next chapter probably wont be posted for about two weeks after exams but maybe I can sneak in a chapter.

By the way keep voting on pairings.
