Chapter Fifteen:

-two weeks later-

"I'm so glad school is over! And Kenshins going to college!" Kaoru said happily sitting down on the couch. Kenshin covered his ears.

"And you're not going?" Kaoru's eyes widen and she frowned. Kenshin raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" Kasura who was reading a book across from Kaoru was pulled away into the kitchen.

"Kasura I don't want to!" Kasura sighed.

"Kaoru you're the only one capable for it. Look just think about it. It's not so bad."

"I wont be able to be with Kenshin! I'd rather be banished then not be with Kenshin." Kasura smiled.

"You really love him don't you."

"I-uh.." Kaoru blushed.

"I'll try talking to the elders about it again."

"Oh thank you so much! I love you!" Kaoru hugged her then let Kasura go to teleport to the elders. Kaoru sighed. She hoped the elders would reconsider. Another person who could equal her match was Kasura but she was not here long enough to know the situations.

'there must be some way..'

-flashback-

"okay. you wanted to tell me something the other day?" Kaoru said plopping her self down on her bed. Kasura half smiled.

"well…as you know the Headmaster of the elders has died today. And we need a new leader for the elders."

"Yes I know that. But what does this have to do with me? Do they want me to do a mission or something?" Kasura shook her head.

"They have decided who would be the Headmaster. Kaoru they want you to be the Headmaster."

"Whaat! Your kidding me right!" she shook her head. "That's just insane! I'm only an angel! They should pick the other elders! They have there ranks!"

"They could do that but you have surpassed their strength and your stronger then all of them also in your academics. Plus most of the elders are old and some cant handle that kind of stress. You can obviously come up with strategies quickly and be calm at the same time when there is trouble. The elders have been watching you since Enishi attacked you. You are capable of becoming a Headmaster." Kaoru did not say anything.

"This is too sudden. They did not even tell me!"

"That's why I'm telling you right now."

"No! When we had the meeting about Enishi they should have told me so that I would have decided on my own."

"Kaoru there is no one else that can do this."

"What about you! your capable of doing the job! You and I are related by blood so that means you have the same powers and strength as I."

"That is true but I was not here long enough to know the situations of everyone." Kaoru frowned.

"Damn it! That's not fair! I'm gonna give the elders a piece of my mind!" Kaoru teleported.

"chotto matte!(wait for me)"

-end of flashback-

Just the thought of it made Kaoru mad and she slammed the kitchen door open hitting someone along with it. Kenshin was on the ground moaning.

"ah…gomen! I didn't see you." Kenshin rubbed his head and got up.

"What were you two talking about? I noticed recently you two are always whispering behind my back. Whats going on?"

"Ah..its nothing! Just girl stuff! You don't want to know!"

"Oh but I do."

"Eh..? No! they're embarrassing stuff!" Kenshin grinned.

"All the more for me to know!"

'ugh..baka I just made him more curious..' Kenshin sighed.

"Hmm. I'll figure it out somehow. But for now how bout we go out or something?"

"Hm? Where are we gonna go?"

"I don't know. Anywhere but here. This house is boring me." Kaoru half smiled.

"Okay. Let's get ice-cream! Oh and lets go watch a movie! There was this one movie I wanted to see! Oo! Oo! Then after that let's go shopping!"

"Shopping? I don't want to go shopping. Not after the last time we went shopping. I don't think I can ever show my face in that mall again! You shop lifted!"

"What! It was on accident! I was just trying out a bathing suit and you kept on teasing me and whistling! And everyone looked at us!" Kenshin grinned.

"Did I say you looked hot in that bathing suit?" Kaoru was speechless which made her blush. Kenshin's grin got bigger.

"Come on lets go."

"Hey! You're not off the hook! Thinking by giving me a comment won't let you off the hook!"

"Heh heh. I like it when you blush. You look cute. Maybe I should comment you more." Kaoru blushed more.

" What! I'm not going to let you have it your way! You're just sucking up to me."

"Hmm..so you want me to insult you? Are you sure you're okay?" Kenshin grinned and walked ahead.

"Hey! Come back here!"

-at the ice-cream store-

"okay…what do you want?" Kenshin and Kaoru looked at the list of flavor.

"I waaant…ugh man! This is hard! I want everything!"

"Hey hey, I'm not that rich ya know."

"I know that! I'll get whatever you're getting." Kaoru walked off. Kenshin shrugged and ordered. Kaoru looked outside the window. Across from here were some guys checking her out and decided to go over to her.

"Excuss me miss." She looked up and one of the guys wanted to throw away his cup she noticed she was blocking the trash.

"Sorry."

"No problem." While Kenshin waited for their order he noticed two guys were trying to flirt with Kaoru. He frowned but grinned as he took his order and went to Kaoru. He surprised her and the guys by wrapping his arms around her from behind with two ice-cream cups in his hands.

"Ya. She's pretty isn't she? She's display only." He said looking at them.

"Who are you?"

"Sorry guys but she's already taken. Come on Kaoru. Let's go." Kenshin held her hand and they went outside leaving the two guys disappointed. Kenshin looked back grinning and looked at Kaoru who had her ice-cream.

"You really like to disappoint people don't you." she said with a chuckle.

"Only the ones who try to flirt with you." he said still holding her hand.

"Can I eat my ice-cream now?"

"Sure!" he kept on holding her hand.

"I would like to use my hand to reach the spoon." Kenshin grinned.

"Heh..eat with your mouth."

"Mou!" Kaoru complained.

"Okaaay okay." not too far from them were two girls hiding behind a bush giggling.

"oh man! They're soo cute together!" Rei said.

"I know! I can't wait to interrupt them! Let's go!" Misao pulled Rei with her. Kenshin and Kaoru went to the movies and after that they went to the park. Kenshin, who was sitting down, pulled Kaoru closer for a hug. Kaoru smiled and welcomed his embrace happily. The past two weeks she noticed Kenshin loved to hug her, not that she mind, and he teased her less. Kaoru put her hand on his and looked at her hand and his. She brought both of their hands up still looking at it.

"What ya doing?"

"I've noticed but I have a pale color. For my skin I mean."

"Your skin is perfect. Everything about you is perfect. Especially those eyes of yours." Kaoru buried her face into Kenshins chest. He was warm and she liked it a lot. Kenshin wrapped his arms around her.

"Hey I hope that movie wasn't too mushy for you." Kaoru said closing her eyes.

"Na..it wasn't that bad but next time I get too choose. I'll pick something with action and romance not romance all the way. That way it's all fair." Kaoru laughed.

"So you didn't like it."

"50 of the way."

"And what was the other 50 of the movie you liked?"

"You."

"Eh? I'm not in the moive."

"I know but your expression told everything! Haha!" Kaoru punched him playfully.

"Now!" the two girls quietly snuck behind Kenshin and Kaoru.

"Hey. Look up." Kenshin said

"What?" Kaoru looked up and found Kenshin leaning in for a kiss.

"Hi Kaoru!" Kenshin and Kaoru's eyes went big and both moved away from each other with there hand on their hearts.

"Misao! Rei! What are you guys doing here?" Kenshin said a little upset. The two girls looked at him innocently.

"Well we wanted to visit you guys and along the way here we found you here!"

"You guys scared us." Kaoru said sweat dropping.

'aww damn it…I was so close.' Kenshin thought to himself. He heard his name being called and looked up.

"You okay there? You seem mad." Misao said kind of grinning.

'mad that we interrupted! Hehee!'

"No. I'm fine." The four of them sat down on the bench sitting in-between Kaoru and Kenshin, who both frowned as most of the space was being taken. They started to talk about how their day went and talked about other stuff that turned into 'blah blah blah' to Kenshin's ears. Kenshin had already figured out that they were trying to tease him and see how long he could stand them. If not they would have gone to his house first and then go look for them. The real story was they found us walking to the ice-cream shop and decided to follow. Kenshin sighed.

"So it's true you have a twin sister Kaoru!"

"Um. Ya."

"Oh that's cool! I want to meet her!"

"Umm. She's at Kenshin's house. We can go there now if you like."

"Sure! But I want to go on the swings first!" Misao said as she got up.

'ugh.. please go to the swings.' Kenshin said to himelf.

"Come with me Kaoru!" Kenshin fell to the ground.

'damn it! Don't take her with you!' Kenshin stayed at the bench and watched as the girls swing and boy they took foooorevveer! And to make it worse Shinji popped out of nowhere and it look like he wanted to talk to Kaoru.

"Hey Shinji. How are you?"

"I'm good. Look Kaoru. I wanted to apologize about last week. I wasn't being reasonable. I hope your not mad at me for ignoring you."

"No. I'm not. But you don't hate Kenshin anymore do you?"

"No. I don't. Its just if your becoming a Headmaster then that means you cant stay here anymore. Does Kenshin know that?"

"No..But I was planning on telling him. It looks like I have no choice but to be the Headmaster. That means I have to tell Kenshin ….but I don't want to.." Shinji put a hand on her shoulder.

"I hate to leave you like this but I have to go. Yahiko isn't a patient person." Kaoru laughed and said her goodbyes to him. After a while they went home and there Kaoru introduced Rei to her sister and also to her parents. Apparently they were talking to Mrs. Himura in the kitchen while Mrs. Kamiya helped Mrs. Himura cook for dinner. As the food was ready they sat down and ate their meal. Kaoru was now nervous on how Kenshin would react and sometimes glanced at Kasura to see if the elders changed there minds. Soon Rei and Misao had to leave making Kenshin happy. But he noticed around dinner that Kaoru was quiet which was not normal. The two went out to the backyard and sat down.

"Heh. So what happened to your shopping?" Kenshin asked.

"We can do that any day! Or tomorrow! Just the two of us!" Kaoru said too happily.

"Okay tell me what's wrong." Kaoru's fake smiled disappeared and turned into a frown.

"..Well you see the recent Headmaster had died and they have decided who is the new Headmaster…and its me."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Yes!" Kaoru hugged him surprising him a bit. ", If I'm the Headmaster then I can't stay here anymore!"

"Why not?"

"They forbid any elders to go to earth at all. Except for missions," Kaoru looked up at him. ", Kenshin? how do you feel about me? You like me right? But only like me right? I'm just a mere crush right?" her eyes were watering.

"Kaoru…"

"You…should forget about me. Look for someone better then me, more prettier than me. I ..i don't want to leave you. But I have too. I'm sorry Kenshin." she gave him a soft kiss and teleported leaving him staring at the ground.

A/N: R&R plz! Or else! Haha j/k!
