Chapter 12 : After the reunion

"What did this 'hott guy' look like?" Kikari started to draw a mental picture of him.

"Well he was in a formal suit like a business person would wear, he carried a single rose with him, he had blonde hair, and to die for amber eyes!" Rena drooled.

"WHAT!" Kikari shouted feeling her heart stop 'OH SHIT! I forgot about him? HIM? I know he likes me, and if he saw me with Kenshin then…he would try to kill him, and if Kenshin saw me with Covu, he try to kill him…WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO?' Kikari spaced out and didn't move. 'Ok, ok, ok…maybe if he doesn't find me…'

"Here he comes Kikari! Let's go to him!" Rena squealed in delight forgetting all about Kenshin.

"What? WHAT? Rena NO! WAIT I-" Kikari was stopped by Covu wrapping his arms around her and kissing her fully on the lips.

Kikari quickly broke the kiss and backed away "I told you not to do that!" Kikari hissed.

"You owe me for not being at the airport in time, or at all in that matter." Covu smirked

"I'm sorry Covu! I was sleeping and…and…" Kikari stopped herself and looked around. Nobody was really listening, but she still couldn't take the chance. "The boss called around midnight waking me up, I was sleeping and forgot to set my clock." Kikari sighed and crossed her arms "I'll make it up to you I promise." Kikari smiled warmly at him, she could never be mad at him for very long, she had known him like forever it felt like.

"Its ok, I understand…you want to dance?" Covu asked handing her the rose. ' She's hiding something…' Covu thought to himself.

"NO! I mean…I can't…I mean…wait." Kikari rethought the question. "You picked a bad day to visit Covu. I just want to catch up with a few friends without you if you don't mind. I promise I will make it up to you!" Kikari smiled weakly praying he would.

"Fine." Covu couldn't help it, he knew the face Kikari was giving to him and he could help, but obey no matter what. He smiled back at her and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before he said, "Come and see me tomorrow at the hotel here's my number, give me a call." Covu handed her a piece of paper from nowhere that already had his number on it Kikari took the paper and stuck it in her shoe since she didn't have any pockets. "I will, and thank you so much Covu." Kikari smiled back while watching him leave.

"Covu eh? Never heard of him? Boyfriend?" Rena cracked a smirk.

"Uh…uh… I got to get back to Kenshin." Kikari stuttered as she ran to where she last left Kenshin. As Kikari just got passed the outside doors Kenshin caught her by surprise and pulled her into his chest. "Kenshin let me explain-" Kikari was cut off.

"Where were you for so long?" Kenshin growled staring her right in the eyes.

"I was just meeting a friend." Kikari felt tiny all of a sudden and she whispered her answer.

"Boyfriend?" Kenshin asked not even blinking to risk the fright of losing her.

"No, just a friend." Kikari smiled at him 'yes, he's jealous. Note to self Kenshin gets little overprotective do not let him see you with Covu.' Kikari thought to herself. 'But just to make sure…' "Kenshin?" Kikari asked while she fooled with her finger's to look nervous, even though she wasn't.

"What?" Kenshin started to purr making Kikari lose herself as she started to melt on the inside.

"Um…do you have a girlfriend?" Kikari succeeded in acting nervous, though something felt like she wasn't acting.

"No, never did after you left." Kenshin leaned down to kiss Kikari, but Kikari moved away from him to inside the building.

"Ok then." Kikari went back and pulled on Kenshin's wrist, "let's go and dance some more." Kikari smiled pulling him inside the high school gym. 'Now that Covu's gone I don't have to worry about them seeing each other.' Kikari thought to herself.

"Fine." Kenshin mumbled unhappily that Kikari wasn't spending time with just him. Kenshin just sighed and gave into her pulling on his wrist and followed her inside.

Kikari continued to smile at him as they danced to the music, Kenshin liked dancing with her and even brightened up to the idea that he had an excuse to touch and hold her. Kenshin didn't think he would miss her this much, he knew that after she left him he was a wreck, but he managed to get back on his feet and got a job. He was kind of curious about what she thought about him, he had a high enough paying job, he looked as good as he did in high school, but he worked out and was smarter, and still he didn't know what in the world was going on in Kikari's head. Besides that, Kenshin waited for five whole years just to see, feel, and hear her again. Kenshin would kill himself if he lost her again, after that first time she left him…

He wouldn't think about it…

Not again…

"HEY AFTER REUNION PARTY AT THE CANTA MANSION!" Some random guy yelled from the door. Afterwards everyone started to leave, to go to the party she guessed.

"Hey let's go." Kenshin smirked "sounds like fun." Kenshin pulled Kikari outside to the parking lot.

Kenshin watched as the cars left and whispered in Kikari's ear "close your eyes." Kenshin smirked.

"Now why would I want to do something as stupid as that? I mean you might push me into a car or something…" Kikari glared

"I rather die…trust me." Kenshin purred in her ear. "It's a surprise."

"Fine, but if I die, I'll come back to haunt you." Kikari continued to glare, but closed her eyes.

"Get ready." Kenshin took her hand and guided her for about a minute before he stopped her. "Ok open your eyes." Kenshin smiled as he watched her open her eyes.

"Oh my…god…" Kikari backed up into Kenshin's chest when she saw what was right in front of her. "It's a Ferrari." Kikari looked boredly at the black enzo Ferrari right in front of her. She was rich, but she wasn't even rich enough to get a Ferrari, maybe a porche, but not a Ferrari, but she did date and know a few guys with them, no big 'What does Kenshin do for a living?' Kikari asked herself.

"Like it?" Kenshin smirked, 'I knew it, nobody in there right minds could resist a Ferrari.'

"And this is yours?" Kikari asked surprised that Kenshin that one as she gently ran her hand up and down the Ferrari's body. "I wish I had one…" Kikari whispered.

"Get in, we wouldn't want to miss the party." Kenshin smirked as he opened the door for her while holding her hand to guide her in. Kenshin quickly closed the door and stepped in the other side in the drivers seat. "Ready?" Kenshin turned the engine on."

"I was born ready." Kikari smiled as she looked around in the Ferrari, then glued her eyes to the road as Kenshin drove off. "Do you even know where we are going?" Kikari asked digging her nails into the leather of the seat as Kenshin drove faster.

"Yea, I remember, she used to be one of my friend's girlfriends." Kenshin saw her digging her nails into his seat, he wasn't mad, and he always could replace them. Kenshin smirked, maybe if he goes faster she'll hang onto him… Kenshin smirked and went faster.

"Kenshin…you're going a little too fast…" Kikari said digging her nails into the Ferrari's passenger seat as far as they would go.

"Ok…" Kenshin said a little on the down side. "But we're here now." Kenshin smirked he knew for sure this was going to be a lot more fun. Kenshin threw on the handbrake as he entered the driveway, and then swerved into the grass stopping the Ferrari at a dead stop.

"KENSHIN YOU IDIOT! YOU COULD HAVE FLIPPED THE CAR OVER!" Kikari screamed as she opened the door and scrambled out.

"But I didn't." Kenshin said smirking while turning off the engine and stepping out of the Ferrari. "And its not just a 'car'" Kenshin hissed.

""I'm just glad I'm alive." Kikari sighed and started to walk of, but was pulled back by Kenshin. As usual Kenshin was being his mysterious, romantic self as he bent down and whispered in Kikari's ear "Not without me." Chills ran up and down Kikari's spine with just the tone of his voice.

"Whatever." Was all Kikari's could mutter without screwing up the words she wanted to tell him off with, but every time she would try to do that nothing would come out. 'Does he HAVE to be that handsome, sweet, caring, cocky…self…' Kikari blushed, as she was lead inside to a full-blown party, it had the different lights, make out rooms, food, people, and even fog but mostly…

Drinks…

Special alcohol drinks…

Thinking of drinks…after all she'd been through she needed some before Kenshin caught her in his little web of confusion.

Kikari tried to pull out of his grasp, but the way he wrapped his arm around her's was like she was suck to a rock by chains. "Just a little Kenshin…I've done it before!" Kikari whined.

"Kikari…you shouldn't be drinking…" Kenshin warned making sure she wasn't about to get loose from his grasp.

Kikari smirked to herself 'I know how to break this wall…' Kikari blushed at the thought 'no, no, no its for the best. I need some right now.' Kikari smiled as she looked up at Kenshin into his eyes.

"What?" was all Kenshin could ask before Kikari kissed him on the lips, and then suddenly broke it. "What was that for?" Kenshin smiled happy that she kissed him.

"Please?" Kikari gave Kenshin the puppy dog eyes.

"Fine." Kenshin let her go, but as soon as she did Kikari ran over the table and started drinking. "Should've figured." Kenshin sighed, as he looked around at all his old 'peers'. Most of them were drunken…scratch that all of them were drunk, wearing lamps on their heads and acting like pure idiots. Kenshin decided to let Kikari on her own for awhile, he was sure that she'd be ok, plus he wanted to talk with some old classmates of his.

About 15 minutes later Kenshin discovered that Kikari wasn't coming anytime soon and he was wondering where she was. He was just about to get drunk, but he wasn't going to risk his Ferrari getting wrecked for it. He needed to go even his friends were to drunk to even talk straight. Kenshin was actually surprised that he left Kikari alone for that long at a place like this. Kenshin started looking at the place where he last left her, but he didn't find her. Kenshin got angry at himself for letting Kikari off on her own in a dunk place like this, soon Kenshin started thinking to himself 'Would if Kikari got drunk and went off with a bunch of other drunken bastards.' Kenshin's blood started to boil 'if anyone touched my Kikari…they will pay dearly…' Kenshin thought. He started looking for Kikari all around the mansion until he saw her…

With another guy…

Kenshin went beyond blind fury. This guy was not playing with her hair and kissing her. Kenshin couldn't even think before he pulled the guy of her by the roots of his hair. "Get the hell off her Dammit." Kenshin hissed.

The guy was drunk to the point of passing out, but for some odd reason was still standing and looking pretty mad after he pulled him off of his catch. "What? Why not? She's mine! Own your find!" The guy was so drunk he missed up he sentences.

"Don't waste my time." Kenshin growled before he punched him straight in the face, breaking his nose, making the guy fall back blacking out.

"Come on Kikari." Kenshin hissed as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the mansion, but now without a few "boo's" and "party pooper" from the drunken bastards.

"Kenshinnnnnn…I'm….oookkkkkk…" Kikari slurred her words, her eyes told everything…

She was drunk…

Kenshin growled 'How could I be so stupid as to bring the most beautiful woman anybody ever seen into a drunk party? Its my fault anyway…' Kenshin growled to himself. "Your drunk Kikari." Kenshin hissed, "I should have known better."

Kikari smiled at him and said softly "are you jealous Kenshinnnnn?" Kikari made Kenshin stop dead in his tracks next to his car.

"…" Kenshin blushed a bit, he really didn't know why she HAD to ask that, and he had no idea why he couldn't say anything…it wasn't like him.

"Oh Kenshin! Don't be jealous! I'll kiss you if you'd like!" Kikari hugged his arm that still had a firm hold on her wrist.

Kenshin turned his head to look at her cuddling up to his arm 'Its weird, I've always dreamed of her wanting me like this, but the fact that she drunk and I could take advantage of her is the down side. I'm not like that…even if she temps me.' Kenshin saw her give him a sweet smile as she leaned up to kiss him. 'One kiss won't hurt anybody.' Kenshin thought before he reached down and kissed her. Before long Kenshin realized that Kikari was very passionate tonight while she was drunk, and all Kenshin did was kiss her gently back and she started to really kiss him. Kenshin released her wrist and Kikari flung her hands into Kenshin hair, playing with it. Kenshin knew this had to stop, for god's sake he trapped her against the car while kissing her. Kenshin quickly broke the kiss and opened the car door for her "get in the car." Kenshin said his face red because of the embarrassment of letting himself take advantage of her like that 'no more kisses.' Kenshin thought.

"But Kennnnssshhhhiiinnnnn!" Kikari fell in the seat "you're such a loser." Kikari pouted glaring at him as she shut the door.

Kenshin just smiled at her and took the drivers seat. Before long as they started to drive off Kenshin slapped his head 'I can't believe I forgot to ask her where she was staying when she was sober!' Kenshin smirked 'If I don't know…then she can just come to my house.' Kenshin smirk grew 'well better ask her now…' Kenshin kept his eyes to the road "So where are you staying right now?" Kenshin asked not really expecting a decent answer.

"I'm not staying! I'm visiting!" Kikari pouted more and looked out the window.

Kenshin smiled to himself "Ok then where are you visiting?" Kenshin felt like that was a really stupid question for some odd reason.

"At my friend's house!" Kikari smiled at him, forgetting she was angry.

"Where is that?" Kenshin asked

"Uh…um…don't know." Kikari looked at him from the corner of her eye "you know…you are so dashing when you look dressed up!" Kikari smiled "I'm so lucky to have a guy like you driving me home….wherever that is." Kikari tired thinking, nothing came to her.

Kenshin blushed "you can stay with me for the night if you want." Kenshin tried not to look at her because he felt a little awkward her saying that kind of stuff about him.

"You mean in your bed with you?" Kikari blushed as she started laughing for no reason.

"No, you can stay in the guest bed you dummy, god you are drunk tonight." Kenshin smirked 'though, it would be nice…' Kenshin heard some sniffing and whimpers from Kikari. "WHAT? Why are you crying?" Kenshin turned his attention to her as he saw her crying.

"You…said I was a dummy…that's not nice…" Kikari rubbed her eyes with her hands.

Kenshin pulled over at a gas station and parked, so he could pay his full attention to her, he HATED it when Kikari would cry, not like he had ever seen her, but it was his worst fear. "I'm sorry." Kenshin pulled her into a hug, he knew maybe this would make her feel better.

Knock, Knock, Knock

Kenshin glared out the side window Kikari was in, there was a dirty looking man with a gun and a bandanna around his mouth.

Kikari jumped and looked out the window, when she saw the man she pushed Kenshin away and slammed open the door hitting the man. "You fucking bastard, how dare you? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?" Kikari screamed as she watched the man get up from the ground.

"KIKARI!" Kenshin yelled at her getting out from the other side of the car with a somewhat angry and worried face. "Get away from him." Kenshin growled.

"What the hell? Give me the car and I won't kill you." The man warned as he pointed the gun at Kikari's head.

"How many times have I heard that one?" Kikari laughed and threw one of her legs up in the sir hitting the gun out of the man's hands. Kikari bent over and pinked it up. Kikari smiled and pointed the gun at him. "I'm just a weak and defenseless girl." Kikari smiled and was about to shoot until she heard…

"Kikari, don't." Kenshin growled lowly, Kenshin didn't want for Kikari to kill a man when she was drunk, she'll regret it. She had never killed anyone before.

Kikari glared at Kenshin for a moment and turned back to the man. Kikari smirked and before the man knew it Kikari ran and hit him on the head causing him to black out. "Fine, Kenshin let's go…" Kikari said growling, she really did want to kill him for ruining her moment with Kenshin.

Kenshin looked at Kikari amazed 'How…how could she do that? I though you could only do moves like that if you learned them from highly trained professional's' Kenshin smirked 'well…you do have some secrets after all.' Kenshin got back into the car.

Kikari slid in from the other side and sighed, and looking down and started crying again "I wish that I could watch a movie tonight…" Kikari said randomly out of the blue like nothing happened.

'O…k…still drunk, mood swings' Kenshin sighed "ok, when we get to my house we'll watch something ok?" Kenshin smiled at her.

Kikari looked over at him and smiled back and stopped crying, she still had no idea what he just asked.

At Kenshin's Mansion

"WOW!" Kikari's eyes lit up as she looked up at the mansion when she stepped out of the car. "Its so big! Even bigger than Covu's!" Kikari smiled as she hopped to the front door.

'Covu?' Kenshin growled as his pupils turned to little slits 'Who in the hell is Covu?' Kenshin growled as he walked up to the front door after Kikari.

"I can't wait to get inside!" Kikari rang the doorbell repeatedly.

"Who's Covu?" Kenshin looked at her with curiosity and anger in his eyes.

"Covu?" Kikari looked like she was thinking, "He's like my best friend! I met him in college and ever since then we were friends!" Kikari smiled, then, as she looked at him her smile fated. "What's wrong?" Kikari turned her head sideways.

"Nothing." Kenshin opened the door and watched as Kikari hopped inside happily. 'Just a friend…just a friend' Kenshin eyes went back to there soft lavender color and his lips began to make a smile as he saw Kikari happy. 'Its also hard to be angry with a face like that around.' Kenshin thought to himself.

"I FOUND THE LIVING ROOM! WHERE'S MY ROOM?" Kikari yelled from the hallway up stairs.

"Right over there, next to mine." Kenshin pointed from the side of her face appearing form nowhere.

"ROCK ON!" Kikari's eyes sparkled as she ran inside yelling "I'M GETTING DRESSED TO SLEEP! YOU SHOULD TO THEN MEET ME IN THE LIVING ROOM I STILL FEEL LIKE A MOVIE!" Kikari slammed the door and got dressed.

"Whatever." Kenshin smiled, he liked having her around the house, even if she was drunk. Kenshin walked over to his room and shut the door to dress.

Five minutes later

Kenshin walked into the living room to find Kikari yelling again, but what she was wearing was a little…too distracting, Kenshin was going to have a hard time watching the TV than looking at her in all her beauty.

Kikari smiled at him, she didn't know why Kenshin was staring at her, and she really didn't care, she wanted to watch a movie! All she was wearing was one of the PJ's Mya would probably buy her! Plus she was most conferrable in this type of clothing.

Kenshin was still staring at Kikari, he couldn't look away, who would? Kikari was wearing a short up way passed the knees short silk dress PJ's with strings holding up the top part of the dress at the shoulders. Kikari had her milky white skin showing from her arms and legs, Kenshin was really going to have a hard time looking at the TV than Kikari 'DAMN she looks hott.' Kenshin cursed in his mind, all he was wearing was an old T-shirt and some conferrable shorts.

"COME ON! Which movie?" Kikari started looking through the movie's put out beside the DVD player. "Ooooo I'm into horror tonight!" Kikari smiled

"I thought you hated horror movie's?" Kenshin raised an eyebrow as he sat on the couch.

"Yup! I do, but tonight I feel like I need a good scaring!" Kikari smiled as she stuck the movie in, hopped beside Kenshin and leaned on the couch's armrest with one arm.

"Sounds like fun." Kenshin smirked, he remembered the last time they watched a horror film together, she was holding on for dear life to his arm in the end.

Halfway through the movie

"OH MY GOD!" Kikari screamed as she squeezed Kenshin's arm as tight as she could.

'Ok…I don't remember it being this painful.' Kenshin sighed 'but I'm gonna have to bear it I guess…' Kenshin looked down at Kikari like he was doing since they started the movie. 'Its like I can't stop thinking about how beautiful she looks right now…It would be the best day of my life if I could just kiss her right now…' Kenshin shook his head wildly 'no, remember what happened last time' Kenshin smirked 'but soon…maybe'

At the end of the movie

"NO! NOT JOHN! NNNNOOOOOOO!" Kikari screamed as she turned her head and nestled it into Kenshin's arm tightly keeping her eyes closed. "mu mummu ummu?" Kikari mumbled from Kenshin's arm.

Kenshin looked down at her "what?" Kenshin smiled to himself, he like having her using him for protection, even it is was just a movie.

Kikari lifted her head up with her eyes still closed "is it over?"

Kenshin blushed feeling her lips against his arm. "Yea." Kenshin quickly said as he turned away from her.

Kikari released his blue arm from the circulation she cut off during the movie and stood up while opening her eyes. "Did john die?" Kikari started to cry a bit.

"No, the monster did." Kenshin lied, that's why they're called horror films, they don't end 'happily ever after'.

"Good." Kikari smiled and started looking through the pile again. "Now for the Romantic one! I love romantic one's! They make me so happy!" Kikari smiled to herself as she found one and pooped it into the DVD player after the horror one was took out.

"Another one? Ok." Kenshin smirked 'more time to spend with you.' Kenshin thought to himself

"Yippy!" Kikari hopped on the couch next to Kenshin, but this time since she was tired she leaned against Kenshin arm, holding it loosely instead of her death grip.

Kenshin smiled at her as she looked up at him "don't worry I don't mind at all." Kenshin knew she was a little nervous that she might make him mad by leaning against him, the fact was he wished he could just put her in his lap and let her lean against his chest letting him nuzzle on her neck…but that was just what he wanted, not that he was going to get it. Kenshin frowned, he hated that he couldn't do that…

Halfway through the movie

Kenshin looked down at Kikari who was now asleep against his arm. Kenshin smirked and whispered in her ear "Kikari?" Kenshin didn't even see her finch, much less wake up, she was dead asleep. "Ok then." Kenshin moved her over with little strength and problems. Kenshin smirked when she ended up in the position he wanted, Her in his lap Indian style, leaning against his chest, and with him close enough to nuzzle on her neck. Kenshin smiled as he nuzzled on her neck through her waist length hair. "I love you." Kenshin whispered in her ear as she continued to nuzzle on her neck. He knew she couldn't hear him, she was out like a light and should be expecting hell in the morning from the hangover. So Kenshin was enjoying just being near her and held her hands in his own. Kenshin knew he did love her, ever since she left he did, he wanted her so badly he would kill anybody in his way to have her. Kenshin leaned back and listened to Kikari's slow breathing against his chest 'maybe I wasn't as stupid as I thought I was for letting her drink tonight.' Kenshin smiled as he closed his eyes.

A few minutes after the movie ended

Kenshin opened his eyes to see Kikari still leaning against him except he was lying down on the couch still holding her in his arms. 'I better get her in bed…and myself too.' Kenshin growled a little as he got up and picked her up in his arms as he walked out to the room and into hers. 'I never want to leave her…' Kenshin placed her gently down onto the bed and covered her with the covers. "Goodnight Kikari." Kenshin smiled and kissed her gently on the forehead then nuzzled her neck once more before he started to head off to his room. Kenshin spotted her clothes that she wore that night on the ground. Kenshin decided it would be better if he hung it in the closet so she couldn't trip on it if she ended up waking up early and forgot they were there. After he hung her clothes up he went into his own bedroom for the night.

TIME TO REVIEW!
