Don't worry about the difference in last names between Megumi and Kaoru. It'll all be
explained in due time. Trust me! Also, my computer is being blah, so I can't exactly
do spell check. I know it kinda REALLY sucks since I'm terrible at grammar and spelling.
Anyway, if you see an inexcusable mistake, just point it out to me, and I'll fix
it. OK? OK!
Disclaimer: Kenshin, can I own you? .......... WHADDAYA MEAN "NO"?????!!!!!!!
oooOooo
"Sensei, can I please speak with you?"It was 6:00 in the afternoon, and the class had just finished. All Kaoru wanted was to
curl up and die. She was sore just about everywhere! She had been practicing her martial
arts much harder recently. The extra work was supposed to help her rid herself of the
taunting thoughts of a certain boxing coach. She'd trained so much that just teaching a
simple hour and a half class was way too tiring. Kaoru dabbed at her sweat covered face
with a towel, and tried to supress an exasperated sigh as one of her students pulled her
off into a corner, insisting that they needed to talk.
"What is it?" Kaoru did her best to seem like she cared at the moment.
"Well... uh.... see...."
Kaoru took a deep breath, but got even more annoyed because even breathing hurt.
"Spit it out Lily, don't be nervous."
"One of the male students... he kinda has a little bit of a crush on you."
Correction: Half the males in the class kinda has a little bit of a crush on Kaoru.
"Jealous?" Kaoru teased.
"Actually... yeah." The girl blushed, and twisted her hands nervously.
Kaoru stared at the girl blankly. She shouldn't have been so shocked, but she was. This
small 13-year-old girl had a crush on some immature
god-knows-what-he's-probably thinking-at-any-given-moment teenage guy? As far as Kaoru
was concerned men where trouble. After all, her past love only served to take her heart
and break it in two in front of her face.
"Sensei?" Lily said, snapping Kaoru out of her thoughts.
"I'm sorry Lily but I can't help it if he likes me. Plus, he's just a guy, you'll be over
him in no time."
"I don't wanna be over him! He's so cute and funny and charming. He has the most adorable
lips too, I just wanna-"
"You're 13!" Kaoru scolded. When she was 13 she never had such thoughts! And even as an
adult, how often did she think of Kenshin's adorable... DAMNIT!
'Note to self, work out more. Need more distraction. lots more distraction!' Kaoru thought
to herself as she tried to ignore the oncoming thoughts of Kenshin's lips.
Again the girl snapped Kaoru out of her thoughts as she squeaked: "Oh my god, did I just
say all that out loud!!!" The poor girl was red as a tomato, "Don't tell my mom, please
sensei. I wasn't thinking. And it's not like I wanna... you know. I just want him to kiss
me, that's all. I swear!"
"Lily, I promise not to tell your mom, and don't forget that doing.... you know what...
will send you to hell."
"Sure sensei." Lily giggled, knowing that the hell thing was just a joke... hoping that
the hell thing was just a joke...
Kaoru's meeting with her student was dragging on, and she was in need of rest. Not only
was she in pain, but she also had Kenshin hentai thoughts running around in her head. She
did not have the patience to deal with a lovesick girl. Sighing exasperatedly, Kaoru asked,
"What do you want me to do to help?"
"Could you not look so pretty for class?"
"Could I not what?????" Kaoru began to wonder if Lily was blind. Every class Kaoru was
sweaty, flushed, and mean. Her hair was falling out of her ponytail, and she was sure she didn't
smell like roses. She looked nowhere in the vicinity of pretty. She looked more along like lines
of...
"CRAP! You look terrible!"
Kaoru turned to see a young looking girl standing in the doorway. It was getting dark outside,
and Kaoru couldn't tell whom the figure in the door way was. She squinted, but she still didn't
have a clue who it was.
"Who are you?" Kaoru finally asked.
"I can't believe you don't know who I am! I should kick your ass right now, Kamiya!"
"OH MY GOD MISAO!" Kaoru ran to the dojo door where Misao was standing and wrapped
her in a tight hug, but then had to let her go because it hurt too much to hug people. God damn
her sore muscles!
"I knew you'd remember me." Misao grinned widely.
"I haven't seen you in forever!"
"Which is why I thought it would be good to come visit for a while."
"How's it going with Aoshi?"
"It's not going." Misao sighed irritated, "I haven't been able to get him to pay any attention
to me."
"Maybe if you got breasts...."
"Kaoru!" Misao growled.
"Just kidding. You know I love you even if you are... less developed than I."
SMACK
"MOU!!!!!!"
"What? You diserved it!" Misao smiled evilly.
"I'm in so much pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaoru whined.
"Umm. sensei..."
"LILY! I completely forgot you were here, sorry. This is my best friend from Kyoto: Misao"
"Hello Misao-san" Lily bowed respectfully.
"Yo Lily." Misao answered back.
"Sensei, I have to go, but please don't forget what I said earlier." With that Lily ran out
of the dojo.
"What did she say earlier?" Misao asked.
"Nothing much. Just something about me being too beautiful to handle."
Misao snorted and pulled Kaoru out of the dojo and into the house for food. She was starving!
oooOooo
"Can't... move... Too... much.... pain."
"Sano, we can't rest now! If you want to rest you'll have to die first." Kenshin said sternly.
"Must... die..."
"Now you just sound suicidal."
"Must... kill.... short... red haired... man."
"Good. Now take that anger and use it to make 100 more jabs to the punching bag; next well
do some jump roping." Kenshin instructed.
They had been training for what Sano repeatedly called "forever". It was more along the lines
of 2 and a half hours straight.
"Let me go home!" Sano growled
"But the gym doesn't close for another hour tonight. We need to seize this opportunity."
"Oh, I'm going to seize something, and it's not going to be the opportunity."
"Lemme guess, you'll seize my head, right?"
"Wow, you're psychic." Sano said dryly.
"Fine, let's go home." Kenshin sighed knowing that Sano was not going to train for another
second that day. Plus, he was sore too. He'd trained Sano harder than ever trying to take
his mind off of a certain blue-eyed angel, but no matter what he did she kept sneaking up
in his mind. There was no denying the fact that he liked her tremendously, and now that he
had had nearly three hours to think about it, he knew exactly what it was that he was going
to do.
"What's with that goofy smile of yours?" Sano asked, studying the look on Kenshin's face.
"Nothing."
oooOooo
"That little bastard thought that he could just tell me he was "sorry" and it would be fine????I want to kill him! 3 years. 3 friggin' years I've been applying for that job, and what
happens? I FINALLY GET IT! And then some mysterious "world renown" ASS has to come
steal my job!!!" Megumi paced back and forth in the small kitchen, throwing her arms in the air
in frustration. After her shift at the hospital had ended she had immediately driven over
to the dojo. She needed to vent to somone about how stupid her boss was, and who better
to vent to than her sister?
"Quick, Kaoru, hide all the knives, she might be homicidal!" Misao exclaimed.
"That is a brilliant idea! I should torture his sorry ass until he gives the job back to me."
Megumi was about to stalk off to get a knife when Kaoru grabbed her arm.
"Megumi, you need to calm down. Who knows, maybe this guy IS a better doctor than you."
Megumi glared daggers at Kaoru "Maybe not..." Kaoru nervously stepped away
from the frightfully dangerous Megumi.
"I've worked so hard for this. It isn't fair!" Megumi whined.
"Well, life's a bitch, and then we die. Nothing's ever fair. You just gotta keep moving, you
know?" Kaoru shrugged.
"You're absolutely right. I'm so ashamed of myself. I can't believe I've been running around
here complaining like some brat. I'm still angry though, and I still think my boss should die."
"If it'll make you feel better, Kaoru told a student of hers, Lily, that having sex would send
her to hell." Misao interjected
"But... I was just.... um.... It just popped into my head ok!" Kaoru pouted.
"Having sex will send her to hell?" Megumi questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"It was like a joke." Kaoru said smiling weakly.
"Did the girl laugh?"
"Nervously..."
oooOooo
"Who was that girl you were talking with at the supermarket?" Tetsuya's mother asked while she
nibbled at her dinner.
"Kaoru? She's a girl I could have sworn went to my high school. She's really nice." Tetsuya
answered before shoving his face full of food.
Tetsuya's mother smiled at him warmly. Earlier that day she had spotted her only child talking
to what seemed like the sweetest and prettiest young lady she had ever seen. She just knew
that the Kaoru girl had the potantial to bare many cute little grand-babies.
Kaoru was, without a doubt, Tetsuya's perfect match.
That night Tetsuya's mom dreamt of little grandkids for her to fuss over.
That night Tetsuya dreamt the dreams of a normal teenage guy: millions of half dressed women
worshipping him.
oooOooo
"I'm not going to lose to that rooster next week. I can promise you that. That ameture has noright to call himself a boxer."
"But you've been training so hard. Can't you take one night off to spend with me? I AM your
wife after all!"
"I can't relax now. I need to train more. This is important."
"And I'm not?"
"I didn't mean it that way."
"Sure."
"Where are you going?"
"To bed."
"But..."
"I'll put a blanket and pillow on the couch for you. Good Night."
grumble "night" grumble
oooOooo
"Oh God, why did I let you cook?" Megumi grimaced.
"It wasn't that bad!" Kaoru pouted angrily.
"I think something's wrong with my liver." Misao complained.
"Misao, stop clutching your side like that! There's nothing wrong with my cooking!"
"Except for it being unedible." Megumi muttered, pushing the plate away, and then gulping down
water in an attempt to wash the bad taste from her mouth.
"Takani Megumi, you shouldn't be complaining! You know you are not the best cook yourself!"
"At least I don't poison people. That reminds me, Kaoru, do you think you could make lunch for
my boss? I'm sure he'd love your cooking."
"Megumi, you need to stop trying to kill your boss." Misao said solemly.
"HEY! MY COOKING WOULD NOT KILL HER BOSS." Kaoru shouted. She'd been extra
careful with her food today. She even tasted it before she served it! It was perfect! Well, except
for the overwhelming amount of that mystery spice she accidently knocked into the pan.
"..." Misao and Megumi sweat dropped. It was obvious that Kaoru was not in a good mood
that day. Usually when her cooking was made fun of she laughed it off, but not today. Misao
and Megumi knew something was up, but they also knew that Kaoru is stubborn and wouldn't
let them help if they asked.
"Screw the both of you. I'm in too much pain for this. I'm going to bed."
"Night!" Misao smiled, masking the concern she felt for her friend.
oooOooo
"Why do you think Fox hasn't called yet?"
"Maybe she's, gasp, busy."
"Not funny."
"Sano, you met her yesterday. Calm down. You need to get some sleep. We have some
heavy duty training tomorrow, that we do."
"What if she calls while I'm sleeping?"
"It's called an answering machine, Sano. Will you stop working your self up over her? Plus,
Megumi is kinda creepy..."
"Fox is NOT creep. She's classy. Plus, don't lecture me about going crazy over a girl. When
you came back from the supermarket you looked like you won the lottery. You talked to Jo-
chan for what, probably five minutes, and you looked like you were on cloud nine. Scratch that,
cloud 93."
"Ha ha."
"Was that sarcasm I heard?"
"No, what you heard is me contemplating giving you 10 more reps of EVERYTHING tomorrow."
"Ass."
"Goodnight to you too."
That night Kenshin slept well. Tomorrow he was putting his plan in motion.
oooOooo
Hey all! Think any of you know who Sano's opponent is? Betcha don't know! Well... maybeyou do.... ANYWAY, I hope this chap lives up to the rest. Peace out yal. BYE!
