Rurouni Prom

Kaoru turned around in her seat and her face lit up with joy when she met a pair of bright gold eyes, "Hello again, my sweet Kaoru."

Kaoru stood up and hugged him, her face bright with joy, "Kenshin? What're you doing here?"

"At the moment I'm running from my brother because he's trying to kill me, then I saw you over here and I couldn't help but come over and see you."

"I'm glad you did, I thought I'd never see you again."

"Why would you think that?"

"Several reasons, but that's not important right now, why is your brother trying to kill you?"

Kenshin laughed, "I tossed some ice down his pants in front of his girlfriend."

Kaoru giggled and just then she saw Kenji walk up behind Kenshin and hit him in the shoulder, "Kenshin! Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't kill you where you stand?"

"Because you know I'll come back and haunt you and torment you for the rest of your life."

"Good enough, hey Kaoru, long time no see."

"Hi Kenji, you two look just alike, are you twins?"

"No, Kenshin's two years older than me and unfortunately we're related, you wouldn't want him would you?"

Kaoru flushed and giggled, "I wouldn't mind but I don't think my mother would let me keep him inside the house."

They all laughed before they heard someone yell at them from across the hall, "Hey Dumb and Dumber! Let's go!"

"Coming Sano, gotta go, see ya, Kaoru."

"Bye Kenji."

Kenji took off and Kenshin smiled down at Kaoru, "Sorry about that, we fight all the time."

"It's ok, I fight with people too, so is this the last time I'm going to see you?"

"If that's what you want, but truthfully I was hoping I could get your number so I could call you later."

Kaoru smiled and took out a pen from her purse before taking Kenshin's hand in her own and writing her number on his palm, "There, now you can't lose it."

"I wouldn't want to, thanks."

"Kenshin! Come on, Romoe, flirt later!" Sanosuke yelled impatiently

"Coming! I gotta go, but you will definitely be hearing from me later, bye girl."

Kenshin gave her a peck on the cheek and took off after his retreating friends, missing the happy smile that Kaoru had on her face as he left.

Kaoru returned home and her and the others went to her room, while she was leaving the mall she'd run into her friends Megumi and Misao and had invited them over to hang out for awhile. They talked about the prom and the great time they had, getting Misao to giggle once she saw the hickey on Megumi's neck, "Well we know what Sanosuke did, huh Kaoru?"

"Yeah, and what about yours, Misao?"

"Well mine's hidden... hey! Dang you, Kaoru!"

They girls giggled and Megumi poked Kaoru in the arm, "Who was the young man I saw you dancing with, he seemed to be very handsome."

"It was... the singer from the band... I ran into him at the mall and he asked me for my number."

"Oh really? Maybe he's going to call and ask you out on a date!"

"I doubt it, Misao."

"I don't, I bet any minute the phone's gonna ring and it'll be him, just wait!"

At that moment the phone rang and Kaoru's mother yelled for her from the kitchen, "Kaoru! It's for you, sweetheart."

"Ok."

Kaoru picked up her phone and shushed Misao and Megumi before she answered, "Hello?"

"Kaoru?"

"This is she, who's this?"

"It's me, Kenshin, who else?"

"I thought it was the Boogyman."

"No, he's off in his room taking a nap."

Kaoru giggled, "So what're you up to, Kenshin?"

"Nothing, sitting here watching Aoshi and Sano play street fighter."

"Who's winning?"

"Neither of them, they both suck."

Kaoru laughed when she heard them yell obscene remarks at Kenshin as he chuckled into her ear, "Any ways, I called to ask you something."

"What is it, Kenshin?"

"You busy tonight?"

"Tonight? No, why do you ask?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me."

"Me? Really? Are you sure you have the right number?"

"It's the one you wrote on my hand so hopefully, unless you're a clone and are plotting to kill me on our date."

Kaoru laughed, "No, I'm no clone, but I'd love to go out with you tonight."

"Great, I'll see you around six, is that ok?"

"That's fine, see you then, Kenshin."

"You sure will, bye Kaoru."

"Bye."

Kaoru hung up the phone and let out a happy squeal, getting Misao and Megumi to jump up with her, "Who was it? What did they say?"

"It was Kenshin, the singer from the band, and... he asked me out tonight!"

The girls squealed loudly, getting Kaoru's mother to run into the room, "What's the matter, girls?"

"Kaoru's got a date tonight with a hot singer!" Misao blurted out

Kaoru's mother smiled brightly, "Oh really? Oh I'm so happy for you, when is he coming to pick you up?"

"Six."

"Alright, I'll be sure to send your father off on an errand so he won't scare away your singer."

"Thanks Mom."

Kaoru's mother shut the door and Misao and Megumi started helping Kaoru to get ready for her big date.
