DISCLAIMER: Nope, I no own-e Rurouni Kenshin or Spider-man:D

A/N: Okay, I think I'm going to do this fic in third person POV now, okay? I'm more used to doing it like that, so yeah!

And, FYI, I have taken out the prologue. I reread the whole fic and I realize how pointless the prologue was so I took it out. But, if anyone (this would be people who just began reading this) is interested in reading the prologue though, I can send it to you, though it truly is pointless.

Now, on with the chapter! Enjoy, minna-san!

CHAPTER THREE

The two broke apart as soon as their lips touched, and a deafening silence ensued

"Uh…" Kaoru managed utter out, breaking the silence and blushing furiously.

"Oro…" Kenshin squeaked.

"Oro?" Kaoru asked with a confused, yet amused look; blush quickly fading, "What kind of word is that? It's cute though," Kaoru commented on Kenshin's peculiar little word, "Um…about what just happened… sorry. But you already know what a klutz I am." Kaoru said with a light smile.

"I-it's okay," Kenshin stammered, "No harm done!" An awkward silence fell over the two.

A few minutes later, it was again Kaoru who broke the silence. "Oh, look at the time! We should hurry back home, it's getting late," she chirped with palpable false enthusiasm. Kenshin nodded his head, agreeing

"Yes, let's hurry, Miss Kaoru," he said absentmindedly. He then realized his mistake when Kaoru loomed over him, turning her enraged eyes at him.

"Ken. Shin," Kaoru said, her arms akimbo. "What did you call me?" It seemed the two had forgotten all about the accidental kiss because soon all anyone could hear in the vicinity was the fierce yells of a girl and the occasional squeak of fear from a boy, followed with prevalent sounds of crashing.

…………………..

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to do this, Kenshin! Please forgive me!" Kaoru cried later in regret. Kenshin and Kaoru were sitting on the back porch of Kaoru's house, Kaoru bandaging Kenshin's injured left arm to stanch the blood flowing out of his wound.

An accidental vicious attack from Kaoru's earlier onslaught had caused Kenshin to fall over, and land on a large and very sharp piece of glass, cutting a huge gash on his left arm. This landed the pair on Kaoru's back porch, Kaoru apologizing fervently and Kenshin shaking his head, telling 'Miss Kaoru' not to apologize so much. Thus, another vehement attack from Kaoru commenced and landed Kenshin with another injury. Vicious cycle continued on.

Presently, we're at where Kaoru is apologizing fervently and Kenshin had wisely refrained from adding the honorable title to Kaoru's name, so the cycle has conclusively discontinued.

"Please forgive me, Kenshin! Do they hurt? Do you need more medicine?" Kaoru asked solicitously.

"Kaoru, really, it's okay. You didn't mean to throw me into the fence or land me into the recycling bin; or into the jaws of your neighbor's pit bull, so please stop apologizing," Kenshin assured her politely.

"B-but," Kaoru sputtered, tears evident in her eyes, "I feel so bad!" She burst into contrite tears.

And of course, the red head did not know how to handle the girl's sudden flood of tears. He sat next to her tentatively, awkwardly rubbing her back in an attempt to placate her.

"K- Kaoru. Please, you needn't cry!" Kenshin said after not saying anything for a few minutes. Kaoru's abundant tears began to recede slightly; eventually, she calmed down, and was able to recompose herself.

"I'm sorry Kenshin, for acting this way. I don't know why I'm acting like this. You've only gotten a few cuts and bruises," Kaoru whispered apologetically, laughing at herself.

"Must be that time of month," Kenshin muttered quietly to himself. Unfortunately, Kaoru heard him, seeing as she was sitting right next to him.

THUMP!

"M- Miss Kaoru!" Kenshin spluttered, "What-What was that for?"

"I can't believe you said that, Kenshin!" Kaoru seethed. Kenshin stared at her with wide innocent amethyst eyes. He had no idea what she was talking about.

"Hmm?" he simply questioned, and earned him another meeting with the ground.

……………………

"Really, you should have gone home hours ago; I should have been asleep hours ago," Kaoru whispered. She and Kenshin were still on Kaoru's back porch, but instead of Kaoru repeatedly hitting Kenshin, they were both sitting, leaning backwards against the house, talking without a care for the world. The two were sitting intimately close together, with Kaoru's head leaning on top of Kenshin's shoulder while Kenshin rested his cheek atop Kaoru's head.

"Naw. It's okay. I don't need much sleep anyways," Kenshin replied with a small (rurouni) smile.

"Okay then," Kaoru said, "I forgot what we were just talking about."

"Ditto," Kenshin replied sheepishly, "New topic." Kaoru nodded her head in compliance.

"Will you ever let me meet Battousai… in person, face to face?" Kaoru asked. She felt Kenshin tense at her particular question. She lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him with a worried face.

"Did I say something wrong, Kenshin? I-I take the question back if it bothers you that much," Kaoru said. Kenshin shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru. I didn't mean to react like that. The question…startled me, that's all," Kenshin replied, "It's okay that you asked; I don't mind at all. And I-I possibly could arrange a meeting for you with Battousai." Kenshin reluctantly told her.

"Really!" Kaoru cried out excitedly, eyes wide with excitement and a wide grin on her bright face. Kenshin noticed how happy she'd gotten when he said that and decided that he'd allow her to meet him tonight. He nodded at her.

"How about now?" he asked, very hesitantly. Kaoru's eyes considerably widened at his suggestion.

"Are you for real?" she asked in awe, "B-but, I don't want to bother him! Do you know how late it is? He needs sleep so that he can go rescue people!" Kenshin laughed lightly at her frenzied state.

"It's okay, really Kaoru," Kenshin said, attempting to ease her anxious state, "I'll go call him up right now." He got up to walk over to his house.

"Wait! Why don't you just use my phone? You wouldn't want to wake your uncle!" Kaoru said.

"He has caller ID. Wouldn't want to call him with a number he doesn't recognize," Kenshin told her, fabricating yet another excuse to tell her.

"Ah. You're right. Okay then," Kaoru agreed and Kenshin left to his house. In all actuality, he climbed up to the window and swiftly crawled into his room, realizing that waking his uncle up at this hour could mean he wouldn't be able to get out again.

"Didn't know he could do that," Kaoru murmured to herself, and waited for Kenshin to return, excited that she'd be able to meet famous Battousai.

As she waited, she pondered over the relationship between Kenshin and Battousai. How had the two become friends? Did he go to school or was he a friend that was older and was done with school? There were so many questions with no answers that filled her head that she didn't realize how much time had passed while she was in pensive thought. Suddenly, she felt an odd and mysterious presence behind her.

"Hello, Kamiya Kaoru," a deep, masculine voice whispered huskily behind her into her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

A/N: How was that? That wasn't such a bad place to end it, was it? Hmm… -thoughtful look- Pretty short, but oh well! Actually, there was another part to it (the whole Battousai/Kaoru scene), but I was evil and took it out (Evil cackle inserted here. Goes on for about a minute or two)! But really, it wasn't that bad of a place to end. But maybe I should have dadded the whole Battousai/Kaoru scene. -thinks- Ohmigosh. And sadly, I might not be able to update this for awhile (if anyone reads my profile, they'll know why). But, if I get enough reviews asking for the next installment, I might be nice and be able to get the next chapter out soon. That means REVIEW all you people who read this and don't review (dude, that sounded mean. Sorry!)!

FYI, this chapter was totally like, probably not good. Actually, I wasn't even going to write what happened after the accidental kiss, but decided, wtf. Originally, this chapter began with Enishi tackling our oro-chan into a death hold, but ended up putting it on hold for probably the chapter after the next. Ahaha. But you guys probably didn't want to know that because it's pointless.

Dude. This fic is becoming more not-Spider-Man-ish. Sheesh. If I continue writing like this, I'll forget to even add anymore Battousai-saves-people scenes and just write about the Ken/Kao relationship, which is totally not supposed to happen. Ahaha. Dude, does anyone actually read my a/ns this far? I write pretty long a/ns and I doubt anyone reads them all the way through.

Wondering, am I not a descriptive enough person? Do I write enough descriptions on stuff or do you guys think I don't elaborate enough? I've been told (by reviewers and others) that my fics are very elaborate-less and that I go through things to quickly. Do you guys agree? Really, people should tell me this more (I've only had a few people point this out actually) so I can try to get more details in.

TO MY REVIEWERS:

El Capitan: The red hair? Ahaha. Well, ah…hmm. Never crossed my mind about his trademark red hair. Oh well! It's called dyed hair? I dunno! But as said in the A/N, about the Sailor Moon/ Tokyo Mew Mew stuff…yeah. I suppose that should cover the red hair thing still. Kinda. Oh well, I'll just make the people of Tokyo really ignorant to the fact that a student at a high school has similar hair coloring to Rurouni Battousai. Thank you for the review! thanks for pointing out the hair!

1kenshinlover: hmm… about the Enishi thing, I dunno. I don't know how I'd make him 'accidentally' hurt him. I'll try it though and if I can't find a place for it, sorry! Thanks for reviewing!

Ayuka: Yeaps. N/p bout clearing the stuff out. I was going to explain it in earlier chapters, but it slipped my mind:D thank you (for reviewing…ahaha)!

Half-breed-demon-fox: glad you liked the action. Ahaha. :D thanks for the review!

Aravynn: Your theory is plausible, yes. :D Course I never thought it out like that, but yeah (I'm too lazy to do that kind of thinking…ahaha). Glad you like it! Thank you for reviewing!

Innocent Battousai: Yes, I'm a fan of both as well, as anyone can see! Though it's really sad that I can't frickin remember what important things happened in the first movie (wanna help and refresh my memories about what the first movie was about?)! I haven't seen the first one in the longest time! sniff oh well! thanks, I think I do third person better than first person, wouldn't you agree? That's why I switched it. Well, at least I'm glad I found a reviewer who can't cook as well:D thanks for reviewing!

NamelessHeretic: Yeah, Hiko is his uncle (sorry. Never said that before…) well, I don't really know if I want to do that. I might, I might not. It just all depends. Thanks for your review!

Triste1: Aha. You read my other fic, Silent Trust, if I remember correctly that is (though if I have the wrong person, sorry). And you gave me very helpful constructive criticism with that fic. Wondering, are my characters portrayed better here or are they still two-dimensional-like? Are my situations done any better? You probably could care less about these things, so no answers are necessary! I'm just wondering because I've been trying to make my characters and situationsmore believable and all, but I dunno! Ahaha. Thanks for the review.

And thank you to everyone who reads this, but doesn't review. And thanks to those who has my fic on story alert and favorites, though I'd really appreciate it if you do put my fic on favorites or alert, at least leave one review so I know how you think my fic is (I hope this doesn't like get anyone mad or anything that I'm asking! Wouldn't want to offend the people, right?).

Thanks again, guys! Atoots!
