Performance 10

"Kaoru! Where are you going? We're going to be on in a couple minutes!" Misao yelled.

Kaoru walked toward the audience but turned around and said, "Misao, there are like three or four bands before us! I want to have some fun first!" She winked at Misao before continuing to head towards the dance floor.

"Do you think we should let her go alone? She could ruin the whole plan!" Misao yelled to Megumi.

Megumi laughed. "Kaoru is not someone who can be convinced to do whatever you want her to. We have two options; one- we stay here and watch Kaoru have all the fun or two- we go over there with Kaoru to seduce our men even more. I personally see no contest." With that said she headed out to the dance floor.

Misao stood there confused for a second before running up to join her friends.

The next band came on stage and more people started moving to the dance floor.

Kenshin sat with Aoshi, Sano, Yahiko, Tsubame, Tae, and the rest of them. (Can you spell all their names? 'The rest of them' is the best way to describe it!)

Sano finally broke the silence by saying "Look it's Jou-chan!"

Kenshin immeadiately scanned the crowd and saw Kaoru at once. His heart stopped.

Everything in the room except him and her disappeared. She wore a beautiful blue kimono that brought out the radiance of her eyes. Kenshin felt himself hold his breath at the sight of her beauty. She headed towards him.

She finally reached her friends and said "Hey you guys! We don't on for awhile so anyone want dance?" She turned to Kenshin. "How about it Kenshin?"

He felt tongue-tied. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. Luckly, Sano saved him. "I bet we all would want to Jou-chan! Say where's…"

Sano stopped because Megumi just came looking as gorgeous as ever. He sped over to her.

Kaoru saw Kenshin freeze after she asked the question and knew he was captivated by the sight of her. She looked at Sano and Megumi before turning back to Kenshin. "Come one Kenshin!" was all she said before pulling him to the dance floor.

Misao arrived last to find everyone on the dance floor except Aoshi. She snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Want to dance Aoshi?" she asked.

She knew he would answer no but before he could she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor. He was all hers tonight!

The band had finally set up and began to play their song:

"Broken, this fragile thing now

And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces

And I've thrown my words all around

But I can't, I can't give you a reason"

Kaoru and Kenshin moved slow with the beat. Kenshin loved the closeness.

"I feel so broken up (so broken up)

And I give up (I give up)

I just want to tell you, so you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do

You are my only, my only one"

Misao and Aoshi(relunctantly) jumped up and down at this part. Misao even thought she saw him slightly smiled.

"Made my mistakes, let you down

And I can't, I can't hold on for too long

Ran my whole life in the ground

And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone"

Sano and Megumi moved closer to each other. Sano wished he had Megumi close like this everyday for the rest of his life.

"And something's breaking up (breaking up)

I feel like giving up (like giving up)

I won't walk out until you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do

You are my only my only one

Here I go, so dishonestly

Leave a note for you, my only one

And I know you can see right through me

So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go, there's just no one, no one like you

You are my only, my only one

My only one

My only one

My only one

You are my only, my only one…"

At the end of the song everyone screamed with approval. Suddenly, and girl came running on stage yelling "I'm so sorry Jeff! I love you!" She ran in to the lead singer arms and they started kissing.

People whistled in approval. Misao whispered to Kaoru "I guess we're not the only ones who saw this festival as a way to fix our relationships!" Kaoru laughed.

She had to admit the couple on stage looked perfect for each other. She looked at Kenshin. She hoped they could have such a relationship…

She walked over to Kenshin. They looked at the stage as the couple left hold hands and they prepared it for the next performer. She pointed to the couple. "They look cute together don't they?" she said.

Kenshin looked at her and said, "Yes, but I know who would look even better together."

Kaoru stared at Kenshin. "Who's that?" she asked innocently pretending she didn't know.

"I think you know Kaoru…" he whispered in her ear. She stayed silent and then the music began to start again. "Let's dance." He said.

As he grabbed her she felt flustered and confused. Who is seducing who here? She thought.

She knew this night just got even more interesting.


I did it! The new chapter is up! In your face Battousai!

Battousai: Whatever!

Animelover: Say it.

Battousai: Do I have to?

Animelover: Say it!

Battousai: Fine! I'm… so …sorry…for not …believing you…Animelover…-dono…

Animelover: Was that so hard?

Battousai: (gagging)


I hope you liked! It's not over though. Still got a few more chapters in mind. And Kaoru still has to dance with Kenshin, sing and seduce him, and they have to profess their undying love for each other!

That means about…um…3 more chapters! (At least) But it will probably end up being more. New chapter is on the way!


I hope you guys like Only One by Yellowcard. It was suggested so I through it in there!
