Kenshin stared lovingly in her eyes. She was just so different from the rest of the girls.

As they both stood up, Kaoru picked up her bookbag and looked at Kenshin.

"Why?"was all Kenshin could say.

"Because you're my best friend, Kenshin. Why should I just leave you just because of a past that I wasn't aware of?"Kaoru said. Kenshin just looked at her and didn't or even couldn't say anything,"Do you still want to go to school?"Kaoru asked. Kenshin nodded.

Kaoru smiled and took his hand and said in a low voice,"Its ok...I won't leave you" Kenshin smiled.


During lunch as Kaoru talked with her friends, Kenshin couldn't stop thinking of her.

"Kenshin?"Sanosuke said to his friend, he became worried since Kenshin hadn't said a thing since school started.

Kenshin didn't respond, he kept thinking of Kaoru.

Pure innocence, remarkable beauty, her personality is of an angel and she still cares about me even though I told her my bloody past.

Sanosuke looked towards Kenshin's direction and noticed Kaoru. She was laughing and chatting with her friends.

He then looked at Kenshin and noticed love in his eyes and he had a small smile on.

Jeez Kenshin looks like a love sick puppy...Sanosuke thought. Aoshi had noticed it too.

"It seems that Himura may have a special connection with the Kamiya girl..."Aoshi whispered to Sanosuke. Sanosuke's eyes widened.

"That can't be...he's only known Jou-chan for like a month!"Sanosuke said. But the look in Kenshin's eyes seemed to differ. Aoshi and Sanosuke had believed that Kenshin was love struck.

The lunch bell rang which meant lunch was over. The class gathered their things and headed out the double doors. Kenshin walked with his friends, but didn't say anything.

After Kenshin, Aoshi, and Sanosuke had dressed for P.E., they went and sat with their class on the bleachers in the gym.

Suddenly Kaoru and Misao appeared out of the double doors, Misao's long braid swayed to her movement as her emerald green eyes shined as a pair of icy blue eyes watched her.

Kenshin watched Kaoru as her blue eyes gleamed and her smile seemed to light up the gym.

Kaoru though seemed like in a good mood, but she actually wasn't. She felt concerned for Kenshin wondering if he was ok. Seeing him in gym seemed to lighten up her mood though as she saw him smiling, only because he watched her, which she didn't know.

The classses teacher allowed the class to play basketball if they wish and for the people that didn't want to play they could just hang out on the bleachers with their friends.

"Kaoru-san...you haven't asked Aoshi-san yet! Remember our deal?"Misao asked eagerly, watching Aoshi from the cornor of her eye. Kaoru jumped a bit. She forgot about that.

She eyed around the bleachers to see if he was anywhere in site and she spotted him sitting with Kenshin and Sanosuke. Kaoru blushed a little as she saw Kenshin,"Go Kaoru-san!"Misao said pushing Kaoru lightly.

Kaoru stood up, but then saw Aoshi walking to the water fountain. It was the perfect time for Kaoru because they were away from other people.

She power walked her way over to Aoshi, as she passed the bleachers Kenshin eyed Kaoru walking over to Aoshi. He had a confused look on his face.

When Kaoru was standing next to Aoshi she just decided to blurt it out.

"Aoshi-san,...what do you think of Misao-san?"she asked slowly. Aoshi just looked at her with his icy blue. Kaoru felt uncomfortable suddenly.

Why must he look at me like that! Kaoru thought upsettingly. She waited for Aoshi's reply.

"She seems fine...why?"he asked sternly.

"Nothing. It just seems like you have some sort of feeling towards her"Kaoru said quickly. Aoshi didn't say anything for a moment.

"I have no observation why I should be telling you the way I feel towards Misao-san, Kamiya-sama. So I won't speak towards this to you"Aoshi said walking away from Kaoru.

Kaoru turned around and saw him walk towards Kenshin and Sanosuke he still had no emotion on his face.

She walked back to Misao and sat back next to her.

"What did he say?"Misao asked giddy. Kaoru smiled slightly.

"Hn...that Aoshi is really hard to get. He just told me that I had no right to know his feelings towards you"Kaoru said. Misao widened her eyes and a big smile appeared out of nowhere.

"Feelings? Yes! Oh lord! He likes me!"Misao said loudly. Kaoru laughed at her friend. She was so optimistic.


School was finally over and Kenshin said goodbye to his fellow friends, he walked down the sidewalk in deep thought, still, of Kaoru.

Suddenly, he heard a voice far behind him.

"Kenshin!"Kaoru yelled running over to Kenshin. Kenshin stopped dead in his tracks and waited for her to catch up with him.

She ran to Kenshin's side and stopped to take a few breaths.

"Are you alright Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin asked.

"Yes I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I just wanted to walk home with you since we're going to the same place"she said pushing her bangs out of her face smiling. Kenshin smiled instantly.

As they walked up the stairs in the complex, Kaoru suddenly tripped and began to fall backwards, but Kenshin was behind her and so he catched her.

"Are you ok?"He asked worriedly. Kaoru blushed and nodded.

"I'm alright, arigato Kenshin"Kaoru said trying to keep her stance. As they began to walk up the stairs again she tripped once again. Kenshin had caught her...again.

He helped her up, but she had hurt her ankle. Kaoru winced in pain. She never knew one trip could hurt that bad.

"I've got you Kaoru"Kenshin said lifting Kaoru into his arms. Kaoru blushed. She noticed that he didn't use the honorific.

As Kenshin walked up another set of stairs, Kaoru felt secure and content. It felt so right to be in his arms since she had started to have feelings for him.

It seemed to Kaoru that their bond was tightening and ever so close. She felt comfortable around him and he had been there when her worst days had come. Her feelings for him began to grow when he told her his past. She felt happy that he trusted her. She wondered if her feelings would grow to love.

Before Kaoru knew it Kenshin was infront of her front door. She reached into her bookbag and grabbed her key. She was ready to be let down, but Kenshin didn't. He walked closer to the door so she could unlock it with her in his arms.

When he walked inside he layed Kaoru on the couch in the living room.

"I'll get a wet cloth for your ankle"Kenshin said walking into the kitchen. Kaoru smiled. She rested on the couch noticing that Yahiko wasn't home yet. She thought he was probably hanging out with some friends.

Kenshin returned with a cloth in hand and wrapped it around Kaoru's red ankle.

"Its fine Kenshin, my ankle will be back to normal in a few hours"Kaoru said. Kenshin smiled and sat next to Kaoru. Silence was upon the two for a few seconds,"Thanks Kenshin for what you've done"Kaoru said. She could tell that her and Kenshin were very close.

"No problem...Kaoru"Kenshin said sweetly. Kaoru blushed crimson.

Suddenly Kaoru felt a hand creep to her's. Soon she felt her hand being held by Kenshin's. She blushed lightly now, but she gently took a hold of his hand too.

Kaoru felt herself inches away from Kenshin's face. She could feel tension between the two of them.

Kaoru looked into deep lavendar pools as Kenshin looked into her blue pools. They leaned forward closely.

Kaoru could hear Kenshin's breathing and knew that he was close. Soon Kaoru felt her lips brush against Kenshin's.

Kenshin's hand reached to Kaoru's cheek and caressed it gently as his lips brushed against Kaoru's.

But suddenly, they heard the front door begin to open Kenshin and Kaoru pulled back quickly seeing Yahiko step into the room.

"Hey...whats going on here?"Yahiko asked slowly. Kaoru blushed beet red.

"Yahiko! Oh..uhh..Kenshin was just about to leave right Kenshin?"she said quickly to Kenshin. Kenshin nodded and waved goodbye to Yahiko and Kaoru as he headed out the door.

Kaoru sighed upsettingly.

So close! she thought. She mentally kicked herself and slumped on the couch. Yahiko raised an eyebrow at Kaoru.

"Hmm...something happened here"Yahiko said grinning. Kaoru's blush became firetruck red. Yahiko was the last person to know about her personal life.

"Nothing happened Yahiko, so just let it go"she grumbled.

"Suuuuuure"Yahiko said rolling his eyes. Kaoru became angered.

"Yahiko! You better be not in the same room with me in three seconds or I'll beat you!"Kaoru gripped her fist and stared daggers at Yahiko.

Yahiko noticed a sign of death in her eyes and ran to his room.

AC: WoOoT! I finished! well that was sort of a k/k waff scene. anyways on with chapter 17! omfg! i can't believe i've gotten this far!
