Chapter five: A new arrival
After Kenshin had finished the dishes he wandered around the house aimlessly.
'What could Kaoru have possibly planned for tonight I wonder …' Kenshin's mind wandered where it shouldn't be wandering. He came to a halt at the back door. He slid the shoji open and saw a tree filled with cherry blossoms looming over a pool that looked more like a lagoon. Kenshin stepped out into the darkness of the night. The ground was dampened from the earlier storm and a cloud of mist hung over the scene. He was drawn to the serenity of the lagoon like pool. He looked closer at it and saw the bottom of it was painted black or perhaps a deep azure color. The next thing he knew with a loud splash he had been pushed into the lagoon. Finally when he came up he heard the laughter of his beloved. She watched him get out looking like a drowned rat with such amusement upon her face that she almost couldn't look at him.
"Hey look it's a giant red haired rat getting out of hole he dug himself into" she doubled over in laughter.
"You really think that's funny do you here why don't we go for a dip shall we" he scooped her up into his arms and before she could protest both of them were sopping wet.
"Kenshin you … I can't believe you … I swear I'll get you back for this… " she huffed and somehow pulled a bokken out of thin air.
Kenshin's mind at the moment
'Oh please not the head not the head not the head … to late'
Kaoru hit him head on and he sank to the bottom like a rock.
"Oh sorry Kenshin I didn't mean to hit you that hard…" she said and then dived under before he could drown. She had already gone inside to get a towel before Kenshin awoke to find a small boy staring at him.
"She hit you with her bokken didn't she," he asked Kenshin helping him up.
"How did you … wait who are you …" he asked rubbing his skull trying to rid himself of the pain.
"My name's …" he was stopped briefly.
"Yahiko Myojin … what could you possibly be doing here" Kaoru asked with a smug look on her wet face.
"Well thanks for saying hi busu … and the bast… I mean Hiko sent me to check on you …"
he stated crossing his arms in front of him.
"What do you mean check on me …" she asked quirking an eyebrow at him.
"You know see how you're doing, make sure you haven't burned the house down with your awful cooking, and to make sure you aren't hanging around the opposite sex, which I can see you've been doing …" he said taking a mental note.
"Oh this is Kenshin … he was sort of knocked out at a party last night his friends brought him here so I could keep an eye on him …" she started to sweat profusely.
"Is that so … well it looks like you were about to kill your patient …" he stated looking at Kenshin suspiciously.
"No really I was just walking around admiring the stars and I fell in …" he paused trying to think of a good lie to tell " I'm still not completely back to normal … she went in after me really that's all" he gave his rurouni grin and walked to the house.
"Let's go inside so Kaoru doesn't have to take care of anyone else," he said sliding the shoji open.
"I wouldn't let busu get near even if I was dieing" Yahiko grunted under his breath.
"What was that little Yahiko-chan," she asked with a forced smile plaguing her lips.
"I'm not little … I'm fifteen …" he grumbled.
"C'mon let's go … Kaoru would you please make some tea" Kenshin asked flashing his grin yet again.
"Umm sure … but could we please change out of these wet clothes first" she asked a small smile replaced the frown on her face from earlier.
"Oops I guess I forgot …" he sweat dropped while inspecting his own clothes. They walked into the warmth of the house. Kenshin and Kaoru left Yahiko in the dining room so that they could change. When he saw Kaoru emerge from her room he almost died laughing.
"What is that you're wearing" he choked out.
"This you idiot is what I happen to wear to bed … all I have to say is love it or shove it" she stated haughtily. She was wearing track pants and a half shirt with her hair pinned up into a bun. Kenshin popped his head out of the room.
"Kaoru could you run to my car and bring my gym bag please …" he asked his face tinting a little.
"Um sure Kenshin just a sec" she smiled and left to his car laughing quietly to herself. She came back momentarily bag swinging at her side.
"Here you go Kenshin" she handed him the gym bag and he was out in a minute wearing some shorts and an a-shirt.
"Hey I have an idea let's call Megumi, Sano, Misao, Tsubamae, and Aoshi over for a party" Kaoru said with a wicked grin spreading across her face.
Author's random ramblings: Okay this seems like a good place to stop for now! Sorry if this chapter was a tad bit dull. I'm working on a few different things at the moment so sorry if I take a while to update! Thankies Riasan :9
