Hello! Thanks for those who gave reviews and yes, I wont give you any SanoKao fluff…my cousin was laughing at it and said that it was disgusting to read! Hehehe…I was thinking if I would place a KK fluff here…should I? Do you think I should? Hhhhm….maybe not! I dunno…I think yes. I was thinking that this story will be up to the day Kenshin and Kaoru will be married and have Kenji in their arms. Well…yeah, I was thinking how will Kenshin get his memory back…I have one in mind and if ever you have a suggestion to it, then give me that one! It might help!
DISCLAIMERS: I DON'T OWN RK AND THE CHARACTERS HAVE THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTICS IN THE STORY…SINCE IT'S BASED ON THE STORY AND I DON'T OWN RK!
Chapter 10: Too early for valentines
"Shinta! I'm going to kill you!" Kaoru nearly screamed, they were to watch a scary movie and she was dragged to their seat. She hated it…she really did. They were sitting in the middle of the cinema, surrounded by many people. The movie wasn't starting yet, but to Kaoru, she felt like it was. She was so scared her grip on Shinta's arm tightened. "It's ok, Kaoru." He calmed her down. "It's just a movie." Looking at her seatmate again, she wanted to strangle him…but she couldn't. "You are going to pay for this." She warned him. Then she sat uncomfortably on her seat as the lights went off. Her eyes on the big screen and her hands were on Shinta's arm. Just as the movie started, she hoped she will be alright as she watched it. 'Help please….' She whined, blue eyes looking at the screen as some eerie screams escaped on the cinema speakers nearby.
Still her hand on his arm and her head bowed down in so much fear, they made way for the exit. Better the movie was already finished and it was just short. Shinta looked at her, he felt so much fear rose to her neck…he felt sorry for her. He pushed her hand away and then wrapped an arm on her, just to give her comfort. "Kaoru, do you want to eat?" he asked her, while walking their way to the escalator. Kaoru didn't make a noise, all the fear was inside her…but then the movie. The movie was same as Kenshin's incident, it made her fear worsen but with Shinta's arm on her shoulders, she felt that it was okay. They stopped to a spot and then waked towards the empty bench. As they sat there, Shinta's arm remained and then held on her other hand.
"Kaoru, are you okay?" he asked her, hoping that the movie didn't make her so scared. Looking up, her blue eyes were covered with tears. It wasn't because of the movie, she remembered the crash…the accident and then felt another breeze of sorry brush through her head. She was looking at the man she was worried for and had no idea for whatever reason she was crying. "Kaoru!" Shinta panicked, had he made her scared too much? He let go of his hand and then pulled out a handkerchief and then dabbed her eyes with it. Kaoru let her hand slip to that hand and then take the cloth instead. She wiped her own tears and then sniffed as she settled it down on her lap.
"Kaoru, I'm so sorry." Shinta apologized, thinking it was the movie that made her cry in fear. "No, it's fine." She told him, slipping the handkerchief to his hand. "I just remembered something." Shinta was relieved, she was okay. Pressing his lips together, he wanted to ask her something…if they were to eat. "Do you want to eat now, Kaoru?" he asked her calmly, removing the arm on her back. "I'll pay for whatever we order." Kaoru looked at Shinta again and then tried to smile cheerfully as she was able to do before, even though her puffy nose and swollen eyes were there. As they stood up, they began looking for something to eat.
A pair of serious eyes were nearby, watching the two make their way towards a restaurant. It wasn't fancy nor does it look expensive, it was just simple…like other restaurants that surrounded them nearby. This person fixed his jacket, about to approach the two on their table but he stopped. It might not be the perfect time to tell them. Grinning, he kept his eyes on them, ordering their food and talking.
"I think that's the two boss was talking about." He mumbled to his self, making sure he looked good and the papers were in hand.
Shinta waited for the order, looking at the glass window that was beside him. Outside were the people on the mall, walking and talking at the same time. Amongst the huge crowd, something was telling him that there was something wrong…as if like someone was keeping watch of them since the start. Shrugging the weird feeling off, he grinned at the walking Kaoru and began the conversation.
Minutes have passed and finally their orders came. Smiling at their meal, they said their thanks and then took the utensils to start gobbling. They weren't eating something heavy, Kaoru didn't want to spoil him. Instead, they ate something composed of salads and some bread, paired with fruit juices. "Are you okay now, Kaoru?" Shinta asked, making sure that the fear was gone by now. Kaoru wiped her mouth with the tissue and then nodded. "Yep." She answered. It made Shinta smile. He watched her eat the salad greens and then he sipped his glass. Looking at the window, he felt that he has done this before…as always. He felt the same thing when he was watching a movie with her and then when they were sitting on the bench. Whatever that was, he left it off and the turned to look at her again. Taking his fork, he ditched into his meal and chewed slowly. He watch Kaoru as he ate, it was fun being with her. This is no date to her but to him…it was something like that. Shinta frowned at the sight of the ring. That engagement ring was irritating to his sight and he felt a glow of anger as he stared at it more.
Kaoru stood up, it caught Shinta's senses. She smiled at him and then wiped her mouth. "Let's go?" she asked. Smiling, he nodded with pride and then stood up too. Just as he was to take a step forward, he remembered something. He paused there and looked at Kaoru, who was walking her way to the exit of the restaurant. He watched her turn around and look for him. Kaoru scrunched her face, what is he doing there? Forcing a grin to his lips, he looked around and then at her. He opened his mouth to say something before people would think they were ridiculous. "Kaoru, the bill." He told her. At first he didn't understood but then she walked up to him and then giggled. "I'm sorry, Shinta." She told him, giggling. Then they called a waiter and giggled as they sat down. It was indeed funny.
Same as it was five years ago. They both laughed as they walked their way nowhere. Kaoru was holding on Shinta's arm as they kept on laughing. People thought they were drunk or there was something wrong with them. "I can't believe I was in such hurry!" Kaoru giggled she was holding her stomach with the other hand. She looked at Shinta and then saw that he was getting red. "What's up with that?" he asked, trying to calm down as he stopped walking. Kaoru took a breather and then inhaled deeply, then she faced Shinta with her blue eyes. Lolling her head to one side, she began to think…what has got into this person? But then he was right…yeah…correct, what was all that for? "I…I…I don't know." She replied, trying to hold on to herself. She was staring at the person she loves and now…the feeling was coming back again. And there was this feeling…a ray of light had shone on her heart, trying to tell her something that she couldn't figure out.
'Damn…' she thought. 'What did surround the world today?' She could feel her lips opening and her face going close to his. To Shinta, he doesn't know what she was doing but then he felt like doing the same thing too. He wanted to close his eyes and then embrace her…smell her sweet jasmine scent…damn…she was soo beautiful.
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
The two startled, was someone there? Watching them want to kiss? Looking whoever said that, they were startled at the site of a weird commercial guy and a few couples surrounded them. Kaoru looked at the man who was in front of them, he was holding some tickets or some money. Looking at him from head to toe, she really thought about this person. "Weird." She mumbled. The man bowed, and then took a step back. His personality was weird and soo different, since the damn man kept on smiling.
The man coughed and then bowed, another smile on his lips. "Hi. I'm Mr. Banks." He introduced his self. "You two just won a prize!" A brown went up on Shinta's face, prize? For what? The best kiss category? "What do you mean?" he asked, he was puzzled….and hoping that this Bank didn't see what they were up to…or whatever he saw.
Sighing, Banks inhaled deeply and then opened his mouth, preparing his self for any questions the two might ask. He has encountered a few couples like these before and this one might be the worst. 'Tsk tsk…these guys are too innocent…kids these days.' He chuckled. Clearing his throat, he opened his mouth to answer them…and also calming his senses down just by any case the day might go worse. "You haven't seen any posters around here?" he asked, hoping they did. The two shook their heads…they were sure. They only saw a few decorations for the upcoming Valentines Day and then that! 'I knew it.' The commercial man thought. 'Oh well…'
"You two have won two free tickets to this restaurant!" he told them and then handed over the tickets to Kaoru. "You two are the best couple and the sweetest couple we've ever seen around the mall! I've been observing you guys for hours…oh yeah…and you are to use that one Valentine's Day!" Banks announced. A few applause roared among the people and there was camera shooting them, Kaoru shooed the camera away and then bowed down in thanks. "Thank you very much!" she said and then grabbed Shinta's arm to make way to the exit. This was unexpected and so…embarrassing! Kaoru passed the people who where staring at them and the tickets on her hand. They weren't a couple and she swear that they ain't a couple…no more…they were just friends. Shinta was pulled by Kaoru, he was calm and he doesn't have any idea why Kaoru was pulling him outside. But to him, it was his lucky day…he had the date with Kaoru this day and then on Valentine's day…it was luck…and he called it.
Thanks for reading! Hope you give me any reviews or the comment how will Kenshin have his memory back! I have one in mind (as said) and I'm not sure if I would apply it to my story…hard to think of it but your comments can be better than what I'm thinking!
