A/N: ahhhhh I'm sooooooooooo sorry for taking soooo loooong to update! But here it is..
Chapter Seven:
Kaoru lifted her hand to turn her alarm clock off. She opened her eyes to see what time it was. 9:00. Kaoru slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. She mumbled to herself about waking up early and Kenshin being an idiot while brushing her teeth. After that she locked the door remembering the little 'accident' when Kenshin saw her and then turned on the shower, stripped off her clothes and went in. Ten minutes later Kaoru went out of the shower, only because Kenshin woke up five minutes before and kept on complaining. She teleported to her room and began to change, after that she went out her room and saw Kenshin waiting in front of the bathroom. Apparently Kenshin didn't notice her so she decided to watch.
'what the hell is that girl doing in there?' he knocked on the door annoyed.
"Kaoru! what are you doing!" he heard some giggles and found Kaoru standing near her door.
"Wha-! Why didn't you tell me that you were out!" he said going over to her angrily as she laughed happily.
"You should of checked to see if it was opened!" she continued to laugh.
"Well the last time I opened it I received a punch and got kicked out!"
"Oh ya." Kaoru blushed. Kenshin went back shaking his head. Thinking that the door was unlocked he banged into the door. Kaoru started to laugh hysterically.
"The door still locked!"
"ahahahaha! Sorry! I forgot to unlock it!" Kaoru teleported in the bathroom and opened it. Kenshin growled at her as she went out with a big smile.
"Ohh! Don't be mad! I didn't mean too!" Kenshin stuck his tongue out.
-different scene-
"Are they here yet?" Rei asked as she and Sano waited in line. Sano looked around and saw a redhead walking towards them followed by a girl with blue eyes. Sano rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Yup. Here they come."
"I told you were not late Kenshin! See they're still in line!"
"ya. Ya."
"Here ya go!" Sano gave them the tickets. Kaoru quickly linked arms with Sano.
"Hey Jou-chan what are you doing?" she walked faster pulling Sano with her. She looked back just to make sure she was far enough to tell Sano.
"I'm trying to hook those two back together." She whispered.
"What!"
"Ya. It turns out that Rei still has feelings for Kenshin, so we're going to sit together and they're going to sit together!"
"Eh..but.."
" Hey Sano? Who do you like?" Sano blushed and scratched his head.
"uh.."
"Is it Megumi?..Because I heard that you liked someone else."
"What! Where did you hear that!" a panicked look formed on his face.
"When I was teaching my kendo class." Kaoru lied.
"Misao told you huh!"
"Eh? Um.. no." she said putting her innocent face on.
"I like Megumi. But that's it. I don't know what rumor you heard but I don't like anyone else."
"oh. Okay then!" Kenshin and Rei went to them.
"Okay! lets go!" They went in and tried to find a seat for four but there was none.
'ha! This fits perfect with my plan! I don't know what I would of done if there were seats for four. Sigh..but I do wish I sat by Kenshin. ah! no! no! no! no!'
"well it looks like we're gonna have to split in two's" Sano said.
"I'm going with Sano!" Kaoru and Rei said at the same time.
"Eh?" they looked at each other.
"Ladies! Ladies! I know that I'm an attractive guy but please! Someone has to go with Kenshin!" Kaoru rolled her eyes.
"Rei you can go with Kenshin. I'll sit with rooster head over here."
"Hey! What is that suppose to mean? Tanuki!"
"Excuse me! Tanuki! Are you saying I look like a raccoon!"
"Yes!"
"Well you look like a rooster!"
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Tanuki!"
"Rooster!-" Kenshin grabbed her away from Sano while Rei tried to calm down Sano.
"Well obviously we can't put these two together." Kenshin whispered to Rei.
"Ya. I'll sit with Sano." Kaoru sat down mumble ling a few words about Sano while Kenshin shook his head smiling. Kenshin moved a little closer to Kaoru.
"Don't worry you look beautiful." Kaoru blushed and got up but was only pushed back down by Kenshin.
"Where you going? The movie is gonna start in a few."
'aw crap! Rei was suppose to sit here!'
'heh! You know you want to sit with him though'
'wha-! Who are you! Who said you can butt in!'
'admit it! You like Kenshin! forget Rei!'
'Shut up!' Kenshin sweat dropped. It looked like Kaoru was going crazy.
"Uh Kaoru you okay?"
"Huh? Oh! Yes! Haha! Ignore me!"
'ignore you? Please! You know you want attention from him!'
'shut up!'
'YOU LIKE KENSHIN! NOW TELL HIM YOU LIKE HIM!'
'no I don't! no I don't! it's wrong! I'm suppose to protect him! I'm his angel!'
'heh heh! I know we're his angel. Don't you see how he sometimes stares at us at school?'
'baka! I didn't mean it like that!'
'shh! The movie's starting!'
-after the movie-
"wow! That was great!" Kaoru said walking out.
"ya. Glad you liked it."
"You didn't like it? Because if you didn't want to see this movie you should of told me! You know that if you don't enjoy the movie then I wont! Then that leads you to not being happy and I wont be happy!-" Kenshin covered her mouth.
"I'm going to let go and your going to be quiet." Kaoru nodded. He let go and held her hand.
"Come on. Lets go." Kaoru looked at their hands and blushed. Once they were outside Kenshin sighed.
"Phew! It was so crowded in there!" he said smiling at her.
"Ya..so..um.."
"What? You have to use the bathroom?"
"Baka! Your hand!" she yelled at him. "Y-your still holding my hand!" she said angrily. Kenshin looked at her.
"What? You don't like it?" Kaoru blushed.
"Uh…well..um..no it's not that, but…"
"Then it's okay right?" he said smiling at her.
"Y-yeah." Kaoru slowly smiled back.
'okay…I admit it…I-I like him.'
"I know what! Let's go eat." They both sat down in a café.
"Kenshin?" He looked up from his menu.
"Do you think they're looking for us?"
"Probably. But let them look. I'm just hungry." Kaoru laughed.
-with Sano and Rei-
"Sano! I found them!" Rei said pointing to the café. Sano grinned and looked at them.
"Looks like they're having a great time." Soon a white haired guy came up to Kenshin and Kaoru.
"Hey..who is he?"
-with Kenshin and Kaoru-
"Hi Enshi-kun!"
"Do you mind if I join you two?"
"Actually yes I do mind." Kenshin said kind of mad.
"Kenshin, ignore him. You can sit down." Kenshin rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing here anyways?" 'geez..this guy is starting to get on my nerves.'
"Kenshin! don't be so rude!"
"No. It's fine. I actually live near here. I was just asked to buy some food and the grocery store as you can see." He said holding up a bag then he looked at his watch. " And forgive my rudeness, I did ask to stay but I'm gonna have ta leave soon. I didn't think you two would be here. Just wanted to ask you something though.." Kaoru pointed to herself.
"Ya. You." Enshi smiled whiched made Kaoru blush.
"I was wondering if you were busy and all tomorrow. Sorry if I'm so forward with you, even though we met just a week ago, but I must confess I do like you and I was wondering if you would like to eat somewhere tomorrow." Kaoru looked at him shocked as Kenshin fell to the ground.
"Uh..if you don't want to I understand-" Enshi said getting up.
"Ah! wait no! I'm sorry! I'm just..surprised. I would like to go out to eat." Enshi smiled.
"Great! Thanks. I'll see you later."
"Bye."
"Heh." Kaoru looked at Kenshin angrily.
"You know, you didn't have to act rude to him.
"Sorry. Couldn't help it."
"You don't like him do you." Kenshin looked at her shocked.
"Eh…um.no."
"Afraid he's gonna steal your best friend and then I'm gonna be his girlfriend?"
"What!" Kenshin stood up yelling as people looked at him. Kaoru laughed and left the money on the table. Then she grabbed him walking away from the café. Later on Kenshin wasn't talking to her and seemed a little mad.
"Hey! I was just joking! You'll always be my best friend! We're just going to eat out, it's not like I'm gonna like him just like that. Besides! I like someone else!"
'oh crap! I said that out loud!'
"What? Who is it?" Kenshin looked at her curious.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." She winked at him and kept on walking.
"Hey! There you guys are!" Sano said running up to them. Kenshin noticed that Rei was not with him.
"Where is Rei?"
"Oh. She went home. We went looking for you two for a while and she realized she had an appointment so I took her home and told her I would find you two. Now that I found you. Where the heck were you!" They both sweatdropped."
"It was all Kenshin's fault. I told him to wait for you two but he wouldn't listen and took me out to eat. Then I ran into Enshi-kun! And he asked me out to eat tomorrow and that's about it!" Kaoru said laughing.
"Uh…Enshi? The guy who followed you all around in school?" Sano already knew the answer to that question but it was all part of the 'plan' to get Kaoru and Kenshin together.
"Yup!"
"And you're all right with that Kenshin? You know sorry to tell ya but I don't really like him Jou-chan." Kenshin closed his eyes annoyed. Kaoru grinned and looked at Sano.
"Why is that? Are you jealous?" Sano blushed and didn't answer and changed the subject.
"Hello. Kenshin so you're okay with it?"
"Actually he doesn't like Enshi-kun either. I don't see why you two don't like him. He seem's nice."
-the day after-
'wow…Kenshin really must not like Enshi. He's still in a bad mood. He doesn't have to be jealous though. I did say he's not gonna steal me away from him.' Kaoru grinned. 'but I have to admit it's fun doing this!' she watched Kenshin laying on his bed reading a book.
"Are you still in a bad mood? Come on Kenshin! please don't be mad!" the doorbell rang and Kaoru ran to her room to get her jacket then went back to Kenshin's room.
"Okay! he's here. I'll be back and by that time you better not be mad! Bye!" with that Kaoru closed his door and went downstairs, where Enshi was waiting.
"Hi!" Enshi smiled.
"Hey."
"Bye Mrs. Himura." She closed the door and they left.
"So where do ya wanna eat? I was hoping that we'd eat somewhere non-formal, I don't want you feeling uncomfortable."
"Oh. Okay. umm then lets just go to McDonalds. How does that sound?"
"Okay. McDonalds it is." Once they got there they ordered and sat down on a table.
"So how is school going for you?" Kaoru asked.
"Good. How bout you? Is that Himura guy jealous?" Kaoru cocked up an eyebrow.
"Did he say anything to you when you were at my school? Cause I did ask him but..it really didn't make sense." Enshi chuckled.
"No. He didn't say anything."
"Oh..well anyways! I don't want to ruin this so lets not talk about him!" she smiled as Enshi smiled back. Kaoru noticed someone behind him, it was Shinji. Kaoru's eyes widen and tried to hide her face.
"Something wrong?" Enshi said looking where she was looking, then looked back at her.
"Let me guess. That guy likes you?" Kaoru closed her eyes and nodded but found her self being pulled up. She opened her eyes and Enshi grabbed the food and left quickly.
"Why did we leave?" she asked as he still held her hand.
" I'm quite sure you didn't want to ruin this for me and you didn't want any trouble." He said smiling.
'how did he know?'
"But don't worry. We'll go somewhere else." They both got in the car and he drove off to the park and ate their food there.
-Kaoru's Pov.-
I thought the day was gonna get worse but it didn't. But I actually enjoyed the date with Enshi. He's a nice guy and he ended up listening to me chat away about my life and once I noticed that I apologized like a thousand times but he said he didn't mind and he understood some of my problems. He also told me about himself , he had a girlfriend but she was caught with another guy and they broke up after that he didn't date anyone else cause he really liked her. Then he told me other stuff…although it felt like he didn't tell the whole truth about himself, but I brushed that away and kept on listening. After a while he looked at his watch and noticed it was getting late and he had to go home so we left and he drove me home.
"Hey Kaoru-san. Thanks for eating with me." I smiled.
"No problem. I really enjoyed it and I mean it. I don't see how your ex-girlfriend could cheat on you. She must be really blind to see that your really a nice guy." He smiled a little and shrugged.
"But it's her loss." I smiled brightly and that made him laugh.
"Well.. I'd love to stay and chat but I have to go."
"Oh! Right! Gomen!"
"Ja ne." and he drove off. I stayed awhile till I couldn't see his car then walked inside the house. As I got in Kenshin, who had a sandwich in his mouth and held a glass of milk, was about to go upstairs. He stopped and looked at me.
'oh great! Is he still mad at me? I almost forgot about this…'
"Hi Kenshin!" he waved with his free hand and went upstairs. I frowned and teleported to his room. He opened his door and put his glass of milk down.
"You know you shouldn't barge in other people's room." He sat down on his bed and finished eating his sandwich. Yup he was still mad and it made me smile instead of getting mad at him. It was weird I should be mad at him for being a jerk but I cant help to not be mad. I sat down next to him and hooked our arms together.
-Reg. Pov.-
"oh come on! Please don't be mad! He just wanted to eat that was all!"
"Don't worry I'm not mad." He said looking at Kaoru. She frowned.
"Kenshin. That wont work." He stood up and faced her.
"Kaoru. I'm not mad! I'm jealous! Yes I'm jealous! Because I don't like him. Your gonna end up falling for him and you'll forget about me." Kaoru silenced him with a hug. He looked at her with a questioned face as she wrapped her arms around his neck but he ended up hugging her back. Kaoru backed away a bit and smiled.
"Don't worry Kenshin. Really I promise he won't hurt me nor will I forget about you. I'm suppose to be protecting you remember? Not you protecting me."
"Did he kiss you?" She blushed.
"No! …but..just on the cheek."
"What!" Kaoru put her hands in defense.
"Ah nothing! You sure are protective, you kind of sound like my father." Kenshin eyes got small.
"You think of me as a father?"
"Eh! No! baka! Of course you're my best friend. It's just that my father didn't like boys around me and kept on protecting me from them." Kenshin kept quiet and just stared at her.
"eh?...what?" she started to feel uncomfortable with his stare. Then she noticed he was moving closer and closer to her.
'eh! Is he…!'
Just as he was going to kiss her she sensed someone opening the door and teleported to her room blushing making Kenshin fall down on his face.
"Damn!" Kenshin got up rubbing his cheek and looked up.
"Hey Kenshin!" It was his uncle.
"Hey."
"Is Kaoru back yet?"
"Ya she's probably in her room."
"Kay. Just went up here to tell ya dinner is ready. And since Kaoru already ate with her 'date'," he grinned "I wont have to call her."
"You don't have to rub it in." Kenshin said gritting his teeth "Plus they were just going out to eat. Nothing special."
"Riiiight." He grinned again and closed the door. Kenshin rolled his eyes and sighed.
'Really..i have a weird family.'
