Warnings: A kiss? or not a kiss...that is the question!


Kaoru had finally dressed for her date with Kenshin that night.

She wore long jean pants with a short sleeved dark green shirt with a sakura on the front with her hair up in a ponytail.

"I'll be back probably around night time Yahiko...so no funny stuff"Kaoru said looking at herself in the mirror making sure that she looked fine. Yahiko was at her door eating a bag of chips.

"The same for you Kaoru"Yahiko grinned. Kaoru blushed lightly, but threw a pillow at him,"What'd ya do that for?"

Before Kaoru could throw another pillow at Yahiko the door bell rang.

"That must be Kenshin, hes right on time"smiled Kaoru runing to the door with Yahiko behind her.

She straightened herself out before opening the door,"Hey Kenshin"she said welcoming him in. Kenshin wore baggy jean pants with a light blue buttoned collared shirt that was untucked. The color seemed to bring out his eyes.

"Are we ready?"Kenshin asked showing Kaoru the picnic basket he was holding. Kaoru nodded.

"Yes. Bye Yahiko"Kaoru said walking out the door with Kenshin. Yahiko just waved back and closed the door behind him.


Kenshin and Kaoru walked to a nice green grassy hill in the park it had the perfect view of the sunset.

They layed out the blanket and sat down across from eachother. Kenshin grabbed out sandwhiches for them and began to eat.

They watched the sunset. It was beautiful. The sun was on the horizon. The sky was swirled with a light creamy orange. A touch of pink and green was added in the mixture.

"Its so beautiful Kenshin, I never knew this park could have such a view"Kaoru said gazing at the beautiful picture before her. Kenshin nodded.

"It is"

But not as beautiful as you...

As they cleaned up and placed their basket on the grass the two sat next to eachother watching as the sun almost set.

"Kenshin?"Kaoru faced towards him.

"Hai?"he asked also facing her.

Haiyes (i think i already mentioned that one...)

"I just wanted to say...thanks"she said softly.

"You're welcome"Kenshin replyed. Kaoru blushed lightly.

"For this,but...for everything you've done for me and I mean everything..."Kaoru placed her hand on top of Kenshin's and held it gently as Kenshin did the same. Kenshin blushed also,"You were there when my father died, you saved my life...twice, and you've been the best friend I've always wanted..."

"What are friends for?"he said sweetly. Kaoru smiled. She noticed that the two were very close now...holding hands. Suddenly Kaoru noticed that it had become dark. She faced towards where the sunset was, but it wasn't there. Replacing it was a bright night sky,"Look Kaoru"Kenshin said facing up towards the sky. Kaoru faced towards his direction and saw that the sky was filled with brightly shining stars. They twinkled every few seconds.

Kaoru's eyes widened.

"Kenshin..."she said softly. Kenshin faced towards her,"I've never seen anything beautiful as this"she added. Kenshin smiled.

"I've seen somthing more beautiful than this.."Kenshin seemed to be closer. Kaoru faced Kenshin and her eyes widened,"and thats you...Kaoru.."Kenshin's face came closer to Kaoru.

She slowly closed her eyes as so with Kenshin and felt the warmness between them. Their lips slowly brushed against eachother until they met. Kenshin placed his hand to her cheek and began to caress it. The kiss went from a tender kiss to passionate kiss. All the love he had for her went to the kiss and Kaoru could feel it.

Kaoru slowly placed her hands on his chest and kissed him back passionatly. They parted their kiss, but their foreheads had met breathing slowly.

They layed down on the soft blanket, but Kaoru had rested her head on Kenshin's chest cuddling next to him as Kenshin wrapped his arm around her small waist.

Kaoru had slowly closed her eyes and felt contentedly cuddled next to Kenshin.

"Kenshin..."Kaoru muttered before she dozed off to sleep.


"You kissed him!"Misao yelled over the phone with Kaoru the next day. Kaoru laughed,"Oh my freakin' god! Kaoru-san!"Misao seemed to get louder over the phone.

"Calm down Misao-san! My ear is starting to go numb"smiled Kaoru moving the phone from her ear. Misao began to sob.

"Oh! Kaoru-san! I wished I could of kissed Aoshi under a beautiful night sky!"Misao's eyes began to twinkle as the thought of kissing Aoshi came to her mind.

"Misao-san?"Kaoru asked bewildered. Misao was quiet,"Misao-san!"

"Oops! Gomen! I was dazed for a moment!"Misao said laughing.

"Well it sound like that you're feeling better, is it because Aoshi came by your house with those roses"Kaoru said smirking. She was on her bed hanging upside down from her bed. Misao blushed.

"Oh Kaoru-san, I almost wanted to kiss him right then and there"Misao giggled, Kaoru giggled also,"We should have a double date if I ever go out with Aoshi"Misao began to babble.


Downstairs Sanosuke was at Kenshin's apartment talking to him about the date between Kaoru.

"Ya kissed her! Woo! Kenshin my man!"Sanosuke said patting Kenshin hard on the back. Kenshin nearly choked, but just gave out a smile as always.

"Thanks Sano..."Kenshin said sitting on the couch slumped.

"So planning any other dates?"Sanosuke asked. Kenshin raised an eyebrow.

"Probably not for a while...I'll ask when I feel we haven't spent much time together"Kenshin replied. Sanosuke shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, isn't Jou-chan on the Kendo Team for Sakura high?"Sanosuke asked. Kenshin nodded.

"Yeah, we actually have pratice tomorrow. Arisuke-sensei said that our tournament against Machi high is coming soon. I heard that they're good"Kenshin said looking up at the ceiling. He knew that Kaoru was in the apartment above him. Sanosuke just looked at him...he seemed to be in a daze.

"By any chance Kenshin...are you like...in love with Jou-chan?"Sanosuke asked raising an eyebrow. Kenshin just looked at him.

"I don't know Sano, but...I have feeling that I do...its hard to explain actually"Kenshin chuckled. Sanosuke just looked at him looking a bit confused.


Fall came by quicker than expected, monday morning was chilly. Kaoru sighed. She loved winter, but she hated that she still had to wear her skirt to school because of dress code.

(AC:I actually found out that girls in uniform still have to wear their skirts in fall and even winter! kind of crazy huh?)

She put on a light yellow jacket on that covered almost her hands.

"I'm off Yahiko! See you tonight!"Kaoru said putting on her shoes. Yahiko stuffed his mouth with cereal and raised a thumbs up to her knowing that he got the message. Kaoru put her hands on her hips looking at Yahiko,"Haven't you ever heard of chewing?"she asked smirking. Yahiko just shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat. Kaoru giggled and headed out the door.

She ran down the flight of stairs while putting her backpack on her shoulders. She suddenly paused infront of Kenshin's door and noticed him coming out with his uniform on with a gray jacket.

"Ready?"he asked.

"Ofcourse. I came out before you didn't I?"she said smiling. Kenshin walked up to Kaoru and kissed her.

They walked out of the complex and walked to school hand in hand.

AC: Hey! finished! i liked this chapter! well im haven't even started chapter 19 so ill go do that...
