Chapter 5

Kaoru had been out of the hospital for two weeks now. She had gotten a whole lot closer to Enishi and company. Currently she had her Ipod playing Loud, Fast Ramones Their Toughest Hits the song in particular was Beat on the Brat. She had a tee-shirt reading Jimi Hendrix with a matching picture along with the trademark cargos.

The phone rang suddenly and she reached over her bed and answered it. "Hey Tanuki, come down to the beach." It was Enishi.

"Sure gimme a sec. and I'll be right there." Kaoru hung up and put on a bathing suit. She pocketed her Ipod and borrowed Megumi's car because her's was currently out of commission.

She parked Megumi's car and went straight for the little shack, which she found cozy more than anything now that she was used to it. Kenshin was there sitting on his rock next to the shack. He looked perfectly hot lying in the sun next to his board and a pair of sunglasses.

"Yo" She greeted.

"Sup?" he replied. Kenshin had been a slight bit more welcoming now that she was at the shack when not at the lab or dive shop.

"Seen Enishi? He called me down here?" Kenshin pointed out towards the water.

"Enishi?" She called and waved her hands.

Enishi turned around his hair flinging water droplets across the waves also looking extremely hot. "Kaoru come here."

Kaoru went to the waters edge. Enishi by now had reached the shore using his muscular (did everyone see that I spelled it right!!!!) arms to paddle over. When he got close enough he pulled her into the water clothes and everything. Kaoru thinking quickly pulled her Ipod out of the water and managed to save it from it getting completely soaked. She gasped and stood up. "Enishi you are so dead." She was drenched with her hair dripping and bangs covering her face. She quickly put her Ipod on a rock and pulled off her shirt and sandals with it.

She jumped on his head pushing him under the water. He retaliated by picking her up and throwing her into the waves. They were both laughing and gasping for air.

Kaoru sent a huge splash hitting Enishi squarely in the face. Enishi spluttered and began chasing after her. Kaoru noticing she was in trouble made way for shore. Unfortunately her cargos dragged her down; and Enishi was easily able to catch up. He began tickling her mercilessly and Kaoru began to thrash about trying to get away. Various beach-goers looked on curiously.

"Not... Fair!" She laughed trying to kick off the sand and swim away. "Stop... ha ha ha please!" she gasped for air.

"Come on say it." Enishi prodded as Kaoru tried to push him away.

"No... ha ha Never!" She giggled. Enishi just tickled harder. "Ok fine. I cant breath... Enishi you are not a man but a ten on the Richter Scale and I bow to your Excellency!" she laughed.

Enishi laughed too. "I never get tired of hearing that." He sat down on the sand and Kaoru followed suit.

"You're not even ticklish!" Kaoru whined.

"I guess I'm just lucky." He smiled his eyes shinning.

"So, did you invite me down here to say that or you want something else?"

"Actually me and the guys decided that if you're going to hang with us why not share a hobby." Kaoru raised her eyebrows. "I'm meant surfing. You want to learn?"

"Is this one of those Carpe Diem things people are always talking about?" she asked.

"Let's find out. Ok, there is a spare stick in the shack I'll go get it." Enishi stood up and jogged toward the shack.

Kaoru grabbed her clothes and Ipod and followed behind him. She threw the stuff on a rock adjacent from Kenshin's and rung out her hair. She then took off her pants so that she was only wearing her bathing suit.

Unnoticed by her several men including a redhead looked on intently. Even in a one piece Kaoru looked really good. She strode over to Kenshin who had gotten his senses back.

"Enishi is going to teach me how to surf. You want to come and laugh shamelessly or get license to mock me for the rest of my life?" she smiled.

He returned the smile slightly. "Don't I already have that license?" he replied.

Kenshin POV

Seeing Kaoru and Enishi playing cat and mouse irked him a bit. 'Why do I care? Am I jealous?'

Why would I be jealous? It was just the new girl and his best friend hanging out. I don't care about what their flirting. No, it wasn't flirting it was horsing around. No, that sounded wrong to, they were just being friendly. Ugh, forget it, why would I care to begin with.

I wouldn't even care if they were making out but they weren't so it didn't matter. Besides I can steal her from Enishi if I was interested which I'm not so there.

It wouldn't be like he'd admit it to the Kamiya girl anyways. He'd just toy with her a little because it wasn't a serious relationship or anything besides dad wouldn't like that anyways.

Wow, since when did he care what his dad wanted? Ugh just forget this whole thing I'll just sit here being the babe magnet that I am.

End POV

Kaoru try was she might couldn't get on the board. She even had trouble duck diving just to stay in one place. After an hour or two she was able to stand up for two seconds before whipping out. Coughing she said, "Enishi how about I watch you. I am done."

"Ok"

When Kaoru got to shore she dried herself with a towel and rung out her hair. She put on her mostly dried clothes and watched Enishi.

First he started carving and a small aerial He then executed a Shove-it and then slash. He finished with a fakie and a tailslide and switch stance.

When he finished he made his way to shore again and met up with Kaoru who had lain out taking in the sun's rays. "You know sun will make you get skin cancer when you're older.

"Coming from the tannest guy that spends all day in the sun that's rich." She replied and smiled.

Kaoru had just finished her shower in her room and was drying her hair. The phone rang by her dresser and she answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey Kaoru guess who?"

"Misao is that you?" she jumped up and down with excitement.

"Yeah I'm coming for a visit down there. Your aunt all ready set it up. I'm staying at your house for two weeks and better news. I'm going to college with you too!"

"Are you serious? That's awesome. When do you get here?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

I have to stop there. Sorry guys. I'm squeezing in a chapter before camp. Don't expect another chapter for at least two more weeks. Later gators!
