So everyone I'm not going to be able to update very much being in school and all. I had HW on the first day can you believe it? Not to mention I'm in all honors courses. Well, anyways this is going to be pretty short but I'll update the other one while I'm at it.

Chapter 8

"Oh, waitress!" Kenshin drawled as he slung an arm over one of the four girls in his company. Kaoru blew her bangs out of her eyes and walked over toward his booth. The local restaurant, the Akabeko, was a local hangout where most people went to hang out. "What do you want now?" she snapped angrily.

"Tsk, Tsk Tsk that's not very nice Kaoru dear. I think some of these ladies would like something to drink." The girls at the table smiled maliciously and proceeded with their orders.

Kaoru, fuming, stormed over to the counter where she paid for the five drinks. "Hey tanuki, what's gotten you so riled up?"

"The idiot asshole over there," she gestured to Kenshin "is blackmailing me into paying for his and his stupid posse's food for a week."

"Whoa, blackmail, anything you want to share?"

"No" she snapped as she loaded her arms with the orders. "Wait you have something on your face." She said as she peered at the slightly dark smudge contrasting with his tan skin. Her face was relatively close to his as she rubbed away the mark.

"Hey, the Battousai is glaring at me." He said as he glanced up at the golden-eyed surfer. Kaoru followed suit grinning at what she discovered.

"I think we've hit a nerve Nishi." She whispered.

"I concur" he nodded. "I'd say let's milk it for all its worth." He smirked.

"You have such an evil mind." Kaoru grinned.

"I learned from the best." He said with a shrug.

Kenshin POV

'What the hell is going on over there? Enishi and Kaoru are just friends why are they so close? Keep your cool its probably nothing just keep your cool. I can't have another spastic episode like before. Wait now what are they doing.'

I glanced up to find Enishi pulling Kaoru against him. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he leaned forward. 'This is making me sick I'm going to say something. Wait I can't do that then Kaoru would know. She probably would never let me live it down now.'

Enishi whispered something in Kaoru's ear and she giggled. 'This is starting to piss me off' One of the girls I was dining with started yanking at my arm. I glared at her. "You got something to say?" I bit out. "No" she squeaked frightened.

Normal POV

"He's totally jealous" Enishi laughed as they made there way to Kenshin's table drinks, in hand. "Hey, Buddy!" he smiled showing his perfect pearly whites.

"Yeah hi," Kenshin replied with a little more bitterness than usual. By this time Kenshin's fan girls were drooling over Enishi and had forgotten about their drinks.

"yeah, I was over by the bar and I saw Enishi, hope you don't mind if I take off with him since I don't have a ride." she said the last part with emphasis.

"Whatever." Kenshin said starting to regret this whole blackmail thing if it was just pushing Enishi and Kaoru together.

"Ok, then lets split Tanuki." Enishi replied eagerly kissing Kaoru on the cheek surprising even Enishi himself.

Kaoru POV

"What the heck was that about?' she wondered. Not like I didn't like it but its just pretend right? Right? I can feel my heart pounding like a jackrabbit.

Enishi POV

"What the fuck was that about?" I mean its just pretend right. I'm just helping out a friend. Then why do I feel this way? "She doesn't seem to gross out that's good right?" Whatever gave me the gall to do that?" It felt so good though like she's supposed to be with me. I'm so confused.

Kenshin POV

"Holy shit!" Does that mean there a couple? Can I even compete? Compete? What the hell I why should I care what Enishi does? But, if he hurts her I swear I'll kill him.

Normal POV

Kenshin glanced at the arm that had snaked around Kaoru's waist. "Come on babe, let's go." Enishi urged her out of her stupor and guided her to the door. They walked out of the restaurant and to Enishi's convertible.

"Did you see the look on his face? Brilliant Enishi! That was fast thinking, and that babe comment I think Kenshin was about to burst."

"Yeah, quick thinking" he said half heartedly, the wind blowing his hair.

"If you got the balls to do that I'll try something to."

"You, my fair lady have piqued my attention." He grinned side glancing at her.

"It's a surprise!" Kaoru laughed as she threw back her head and let the wind blow back her raven locks.
