A/N: Thanx for reading again! I promised to make my next chapter long so I hope you like it. I tried pretty hard so review and tell me what you think. Oh yeah thanks for the reviews you guys, they were really helpful.

Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin and I'm not writing for profit just for fun.

"The girl that thinks you are special its…its...i-its me."

"Oro?"

"Its me Kenshin, me, I'm the one that thinks your special Kenshin."

"Oh Kaoru, I didn't know that you felt that way about someone like me"

"Well now that you know its just that I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want things to change between us. I like our friendship it's the most important thing in the world"

"Nothing could ever change between us Kaoru-dono, as you just said I too treasure our friendship."

"Thank you Kenshin it is such a good thing to know that even though you know this we won't change."

"Of course not Kaoru-dono nothing will change between us, I promise"

"Okay Kenshin, so do you know what the time is"

"Umm… hold on, it… is 2:53 in the morning. Wow 2:53 I can't believe we were on the phone for that long. It seemed really short for that to be more than two hours."

" I can't believe it ether but we better go to bed or the both of us won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"Okay then I'll see you tomorrow"

"Bye then Kenshin, I'll see you tomorrow."

Later that morning

"Ugh… it is way too early for me to get up… 4:00. What? I'm not supposed to get up until six. Ya…hi…KO!" Kaoru jumped out of bed and began to run to her door when she suddenly got dizzy. "It is too early for this I'll get him latter," she said as she went to bed again.

"Hey Ugly, get up, your gonna be late for school." Yahiko yelled from downstairs.

"What time is it? Oh no I'm going to be late!" Kaoru jumped out of bed and was out of the house in record time. By the time she got to school she was actually early but Kenshin, who said he would meet her at 7:30, wasn't even there himself. Kaoru sat under the big tree that the Kenshin gumi loved to hang around under. Kaoru sat and took out her book. She decided to read to pass the time while she was waiting for Kenshin to get there. "Jeez what is taking him so loooong I can't stand it!"

"Kaoru-dono… are you alright?"

'Umm yeah it just that you took forever to get here and I was getting on the impatient side."

"Sorry about that, I had a hard time waking up this morning. That phone call kinda took a lot out of me and I wasn't even able to sleep right away."

"Yeah if Yahiko didn't wake me with his infamous ugly line I would have been late too." Brrrrrrrrrrrrrring! "The bell already? Oh well, I'll see you at the break kay, Kenshin? Bye." Kenshin and Kaoru walked away to homeroom. Kenshin in his math class and Kaoru in her math class. The morning announcements went by and were just a tinge on the annoying side. It seemed like a decade before Kaoru was out of math and on her way to science with Soujiro. Kenshin was on his was to history when he and Kaoru met in the hall. They did a quick wave and went on to their next class. "HeySoujiro! How was your weekend?"

"No complaints, it was pretty cool Kaoru, and you?"Soujiroasked

"It was the coolest and guess what? I rummaged enough courage to tell Kenshin how I feel."

"No way, Kao, are you serious? I never thought you would tell him that and I also thought you would wait for him to tell you first"

"Well he didn't tell me and I just got tired of waiting so I told him first."

"Well I hope you guys will be happy,"Soujiro said sincerely.

"Just because I told him that I really care about him, doesn't make anything official Soujiro."

"Sorry Kaoru, I just thought that since he knew how you felt he would tell you how he feels too"

"Wait, what? Kenshin doesn't feel that way about me we're just really good friends"

"Come on, don't tell me its not obvious how he feels for you. He even told me that he really cared about you and it tears him apart to see you hurt. "

"Really? He said that? No way, I guess that I always thought I took the littlest things way too seriously and he was just being nice. Oh my gosh Kenshin…"

oroLunchoro

"Hey Kenshin, how was your classes so far?" Pretty good and I finished all my homework in class, so when were done eating let's go to the music room."

"Okay then look there its Misao"

"Hey Kaoruuuuu, Himmmuraaaaa! Get over here!" Misao yelled

"Were coming Misao! " Kenshin and Kaoru answered in unison. They walked over to the tree and sat under the shade. As they were eating their lunch and enjoying the breeze The Kenshin gumi talked about the latest movies and what they planned to do next weekend. "Well we've gotta go. Kaoru-dono and I are gonna go to the music room."

The two got up and began to walk away.

"Were you going Weasel?" Sano asked as he grabbed Misao by the arm.

"Let go of me Rooster head I'm going with Kenshin and Kaoru."

"Give Kenshin and Jou-chan some time alone they need it."

"Oh alright fine… I'll just call her later," Misao said reluctantly. In the music room Kenshin was sitting at the piano and began to play a song. Kaoru instantly knew the song, Departure. When Kenshin finished that song he began to play another familiar song, Starless.

"That sounds so pretty Kenshin! You are getting really good at it."

"You think Kaoru-dono? Thanks a lot for saying so. By the way This Saturday I have a recital coming up and I thought it would be great if you could be there to listen to me."

"Sure Kenshin I would love to be there. What is the date of the concert?"

"It is on April 10th."

"Really? Okay then I will make a note of it."

kaoru That afternoon

Kaoru went shopping around with her mom and they ended up at a watch store.

"Do you need a new watch Kaoru?"

"I think I do, lets look inside" They walked around the store until she saw something that caught her eye. There was a watchcase that had two matching watches. It was a Geneva Watch that was silver with a black face. That would look so good on Kenshin's wrist and I get one that matches it too! "Excuse me miss, how much is this one?"

"Two hundred sixty dollars." She responded

"Not bad, thank you." Kaoru bought the watches and decided to give it to Kenshin later.

Romance The next morning

"Hey Kenshin… What's wrong you look a bit on the down side." Kaoru stated with concern

"Its nothing Kaoru-dono, don't worry about me, I'm okay." Kenshin replied as though his mind was in a different place.

"Come on lets go talk you look like you need it." Kaoru led Kenshin to a spot were they could talk to each other away from the eccentric Kenshin gumi. When they got there Kaoru asked, "What's wrong Kenshin are you okay?"

"It's just that I've been having a few problems at home and I am having a hard tine dealing with it" As he was explaining what has been going on Kaoru leaned on the wall. Kenshin noticed and asked, "Do you want to lean on my shoulder Kaoru-dono?"

"Umm yeah, but before I do I wanted to give you this. I saw it yesterday and I thought of you so I decided to get it."

"That was definitely thoughtful of you Thank you Kaoru-dono." With that Kenshin put the watch on. "Do you want to lean on my shoulder now?"

"Okay" Kaoru shyly replied. She put her head on his shoulder and breathed deeply to make herself relax. They continued to whisper about little problems that they had and as Kenshin described a really serious one he looked as if he was ready to cry. Kaoru hugged him and tried to comfort him. "Oh… Kenshin I'm here, and I want you to know that I will always be here…
