"The situation is bending, if we don't make moves now Katsura, the Ishin shishi will fall." Maebi addressed Katsura who sat among all the affiliates and elite soldiers of the Ishin and Chosu.

"You must understand the Chosu clan is a smaller base to the Ishin. It can not withstand the amount of flaws and complications as that of the Ishin, if you carelessly render we just leave the Ishin and abandon where our posts should be then how is the situation bettering on the Chosu clan which isn't a fraction of the size of the Ishin?" Katsura argued, his brows knotting.

"Katsura. Do you hear yourself?" Katagi asked with intent eyes.

"You all want us to abandon the Ishin and immediately flock to the nearest base, the Chosu clan? Aren't I correct? If it is not seen gentlemen, the Ishin can not just step into the Chosu clan, why you ask, because the clan is very small, housing is very limited, sanitary inspection hasn't occurred since I've been bombarded with several issues, several kills, straying me from my next clan, surely there is no confidence to go blindly and rest in a place which we as swordsmen, don't even know has been exposed to the Shinsen. Surely asking me to leave the place where some have called home is very hard to do" he looked at Kenshin the boy just keeping a devoid pair of eyes…

"We understand your concern Katsura, but limiting the factor that this base has already been seen, we are in jeopardy's way, you must assess the situation differently, if we don't leave, the morn of the promising Meiji in your heart is but some shadow that lurks. Can you not see that by the more time we wait in one location it strengthens the position of the Shinsen, all they are yet to do is come in their numbers and slaughter us in massacre. Surely, you wouldn't want Jasmine to know her only daughter is to be dead on such awaking news, that is if of course, you survive to tell her such news." Maebi offered icily cold.

Kenshin closed his eyes, fearing the death of his sheath. He would not allow it…never…

"Regardless what Maebi, we are already in harm's way. We must understand that the pieces in the game are now in motion. They can not be undone and we can not wish for their halt, only that our choices do not kill us…" his voiced died small…

"Surely madness has befallen you…" the drunk somewhat Chosu leader, said tiredly…

"You will die if you say such a thing again…" a sword went straight to the throat of drunkard. A pair of raw amber eyes burned aggressively as it waited patiently for Katsura to give him the go. Katsura looked up at Kenshin, the boy wore the coldest pair of eyes and his heart though young was aged in centuries of sin only age itself could grant. How contrary was it to see the young with such a heart, tainted so dirtily angels could by no means clean it with ease…

Katsura fell quiet. He didn't intone for Kenshin to stop or go ahead, he just was numb to the situation.

"H-Hey ki-d, h-how bout you move this sword…?" the drunkard fearfully retorted

Kenshin pulled his hair, looking straight into his eyes, a vehement stare ruled his features, "Co-Chosu clan leader, do not allow yourself to detangle in speech as rash as you like in front of Lord Katsura. You would die sinfully slow in my eyes, my sword not forgetting the taste of your blood. My eyes remembering the way blood met silver, and flesh that became broken and wounded so freely. You do not use your mouth as freely as you feel. Do this again and I will behead you soundlessly…" Kenshin let go of the man's head falling back into his seat subserviently…

"How dare you treat the Chosu-clan leader so brusquely Battousai? Have you not any respect for the clan you would soon be part of, like it or not?" a strong and tall young man shot up…

Kenshin shut his eyes, just listening to the young man blabber… the entire world was now against the Ishin and nobody was on Katsura's side. Kenshin was the only person he thought. He was brought up by a respected man, taken into a prestige council of excellent elite soldiers who fought for righteous reasons, mind you blood fell. His life had changed so much, in a way Kenshin had once in his life hated Katsura for what he made him do, kill. With all the faces of his dead victims they sang to him each night, killing him with each resolution he had in a blade that offered him only tears. Then part of Kenshin had realized that Katsura only was fighting for a morning of peace. The Meiji. But then he grew very attached to Katsura, when Kenshin became attracted to the pleasurable distraction in front of him. Kaoru. If for a minute Kenshin could be quiet and find a place of peace, peace would always resemble the way her eyes looked at him, how she invited him into her heart, and how she treasured him for the man he wanted to be, regardless the murderer that affronted her.

"I have respect, the question is do you have any respect for the man who made the Chosu clan a reality?" he paused, opening his sinful amber eyes to the Chosu group.

"Battousai, you have said enough…we understand why you suddenly feel this strong sting of hate for us. We understand that Katsura is our leader, but do not allow stupidity Mr. Himura to befall you. Though we are a small group, do not forget it was because of our wisdom that we are kept alive…" the young boy by the name Soujiro contributed…

"And what does that say for us kid, we're dumb or something?" Izuika stood tall pointing his sword at the boy's throat.

"If you touch him, I'll poke this through your gut" a man place a sword on Izuika's throat. They exchanged glances and they became vile and dire.

The tension grew fierce, and yet Katsura still would not halt this sour debate.

"Go ahead man, who and what army is going to kill me?" Izuika deeply retorted…

"Me, myself and I" he snarled.

Before you knew it the Ishin stood up defending for Izuika whilst the Chosu stood for their kind battling off the hasty statements.

Kenshin and Katsura just sat closing their eyes to this argument.

From down the hall the loud quarrel traveled to many of the curious on-goers. Sakura, Ayami, Ninsuko and Kaoru who were all sitting in Kaoru's room trying on Kaoru's fancy English gowns stopped.

"What's happening?" asked Kaoru curiously as she heard loud bickering traveling around the establishment.

"It so happens the Chosu clan is here again. I could remember when they came…man did this place get ugly" Ninsuko grimaced

"What happened?" Kaoru asked interestedly…

"Though Katsura is the owner of the Chosu clan, the co-leader of the group wants to over throw your father's position to have full rule over the clan. Every time the Chosu clan comes in for debates or serious issues they usually break out into a hasty fight. Sometimes somebody dies, at least that's what happened the last time…" Ninsuko trailed into a whisper remembering how sad their debates had turned out to be.

"Die? Oh my, we must stop them…" Kaoru stood to her heels ready to do her justice…

"Hold on kissing-Juliet of the day, you just can not enter the meeting like that Kaoru-chan. Meetings like that are very important and serious, not to mention classified. That's why we're never invited to them. There is always someone guarding the door and nobody can ever enter unless Katsura calls them in. Since this is very much a heated conversation, do not throw yourself into this situation mindlessly, it might the last thing you do." Ninsuko layered…

"Well you don't just expect me to sit back and do nothing, now do you?" Kaoru quirked her brow, placing a hand on her hip…

"Actually Kao-chan, that's exactly what I'm expecting you to do…you can't interfere in these situations. These are very confidential meetings and little girls like us are certainly not invited…so…there" Ninsuko bit her lips wondering if Kaoru was buying this…

Kaoru sighed to herself. Blowing her bangs, she gave a cute and tired expression of confusion.

"But I want to help" she said softly…with that she let her hair loose.

"I know…but you can't…its too dangerous" Ninsuko placed a hand on her friend's back…

Kaoru sighed, "I---I guess you're right" Kaoru stood up walking to the door.

"Where are you going?" Ninsuko stood in fright…

"To stop their quarrel" Kaoru opened the door…

"Kaoru-channn" Ninsuko almost scream…didn't she just hear a word she said?

Kaoru took into run, forgetting she was wearing nothing but her white night gown, she nearly screamed out at that. Approaching the corner she saw a man on the ground smeared in blood. The man must have been darted out by one of the men in the meeting room. Kaoru took into a run, running was easy since she wore her short white gown in the broad day-light. Opening the door she saw each of the men standing and quarreling.

She took a breath, "Stop it all of you" she shouted…

The sudden hint of a feminine voice splashed over them all when a woman entered, behind her the blinding sun roaring into the dark room. Kaoru stood in the center of the door, her small body glowing in the sun, as her long raven hair was free like black waters around her. Her every hint of fire burned on her cheeks, as she was somewhat affected by this debate.

"Can you all not see there is another way to deal with your bickering?" she faltered not, the entire crowd quiet

Behind the men, a young boy with a high black pony and sharp green eyes came in front, "and I suppose a woman could assess better?" Soujiro as was name asked…

Kaoru breathed deeply looking at the somewhat alpha-male he wanted to be seen as.

"It depends! Seemingly from the way you 'children' act, a woman has to be the only way to shut you little lads up" she blinked back, her beautiful sapphire eyes on blaze…

Soujiro grinned. Looking at her more closely, she had been a very attractive piece of meat in that English piece of clothing. Though the material was modestly refined, the sunlight created a see-through imprint on the silhouette for her body, her figure being outlined perfectly.

He then scowled when she had spoken so flatly.

"You were not invited to this meeting now were you?" Soujiro asked, completely unaware of whom she was…

Walking toward her, "no…but I heard the cries of you gentlemen so I just had to come…" her eyes flashed something raw and mean

"Ohhh…" he circled her… it'd been so long since Soujiro seen a good woman who cared for a man.

Flashing his eyes about her face, Kaoru became very queasy and uncomfortable.

"Aren't you very pretty?" he placed a hand under her chin, she turned her head in a snap.

Soujiro's eyes burned. 'Humph!'

Looking at her pretty face, Soujiro smirked to himself…

"Why do you turn your face from me…hmm?" he rudely pulled her jaw to him…

She gritted her teeth, her eyes pouring a silent anger…

Yet from the shadow, a pair of amber eyes watched very closely as things stirred up.

"Hmm…I hope you know, you're not welcomed, little koneko" he caressed her cheek…

Kaoru groaned. She didn't like how this man touched her.

"Aww…doing something to affect you?" he slowly brought his finger up and down her cheek. Kaoru looked at the floor…

"Get your hands off of her" came a devoid and cold voice…

Soujiro stopped, turning to face the man who dared him such a command he snarled.

Kenshin stood tall bursting through the crowd.

Kaoru slowly looked up, her eyes sparkling some hope. Seeing her savior approaching, she slightly smiled. Soujiro and Battousai now were separated by two feet. Kenshin however closed the distance passing Soujiro with nothing but the cold air hissing out at him.

"Kaoru you should not be here" Kenshin went to the young woman…

"B-but" she tried protesting but Kenshin gave her the stare.

"Aww man…" she pouted…

"Mr. Soujiro…you will not touch this woman or any of the women in the Ishin as you feel" Kenshin explained

"Oh…I will touch who I want and how I want" Soujiro snapped

"Not Kogoro Katsura's daughter. Not my sheath" Kenshin saw the shock on the boy's face. Kenshin slowly took Kaoru's hand and lead her outdoors.

Kaoru turned to look at Soujiro, sticking out her tongue she huffed away with Kenshin.

Kenshin lead Kaoru down the hall away from all the commotion. She leaned against the wall looking up at him intently…

"Hello koishii" she touched his cheek, giving a winning smile…

"Kaoru…please…don't do that again…it's dangerous" he held her hand before she could get her way…

"Everything I do…is it so wrong?" she blinked back…

"No…but I want you to be a little more careful, you're not playing with men who know you, you're playing with the Chosu clan as well, be on your guard" he spoke

"Hmm, very well" she looked at the floor

"Well…I, should be going now…be good" with that he departed from Kaoru.

'Yeah sure…'

A young lord burning in the admiration of elicits and beauty snarled at the hot sun that scorched his skin. Letting out a tired sigh, the young Lord with eyes as that of a true devil stood to his proud feet. Feet that leads decision to befall question, and blade to befall skin. Again tired that he had brought himself from his home in England to the red shores of Japan, the man seem to simply let all the tensions in his mind slide when a particular thought came to mind.

"Where are you really my little koneko?" not sure where this woman whose beauty rung like bells had been, he enveloped himself in thick bounds of confusion. He was searching for a woman he barely knew. Fate had granted him to touch her in her dreams, but that was an inferior world. He couldn't hold her, nor could he claim the girl from the Asian five.

(An: I know everyone is confuse, but I'll explain soon)

"Milord…we have just gotten word" a young servant came to his Lord who seem to watch the world with bland eyes…

"What word do you bring me in my hour of bored tidings?" the young lord turned watching the servant's boy nonchalantly…

"Three of the girls have been located, would you like to see them milord?" the servant asked interestedly…

"No…that will not be necessary, after all" he turned watching the sea that beacon itself to him, "I only really wanted one of the girl's…" he whispered off into a trail…

"One girl milord? But there are five Asian girls…without either one the dance is incomplete" the servant

Jempiah as was known as the young Lord, tiredly sighed, "no…the dance was indeed made for five, but the secret dance moves were learnt only by one. That one however is somewhere in a place where I can not reach her…" Jempiah retorted passing a hand through his long red locks…

"Milord…this girl…who exactly is she?" the servant asked enthralled…

"The girl is said to be the dance's true essence. She is the real centerpiece…she is…Kogoro Kaoru…" Jempiah sighed again…

"And what is so amazing about this dance?" the servant asked intrigued beyond all manner

"The dance administered to their correct lord, helps to heighten the good aura of life. Somewhat making that person live longer, it's so said that dance was called the dance of Sins…a forbidden dance, yet it was learnt, so how forbidden is forbidden?" he thought

"Where do we find this Kaoru?" he asked

"I don't know, I found her in dreams, but it's a place I don't know. I've never seen such a place, she was in some dojo establishment, what becomes unwavering is the fact she's strong. Her aura says she's real strong, but that doesn't worry me. What worries me, is if I am not the first she has danced for. If she dances for another, that person can become glued, seduced…married and claimed to her. I however will not allow my only to full into that abyss" Jempiah somewhat shouted…

The servant backed up.

"Find her…have every one of black riders search for her…she will not be far for I know, she is in Kyoto for certain…" he turned, "find her…now"

"Y-Yes milord" the servant bowed and with that left…

'And so our cards are being played my little koneko…where now do you run?' Jempiah mused…

Seven black riders ran into each direction of Kyoto, conquering land after land. The birth of evil splurged on wings throughout Kyoto in a rampaging manner. Black riders whose faces were never seen by their hooded clothing, rode with black stallions who wore broken armor and auras of darkness. Soft as shadows they rode, killing those whom oppose them. The dirt and grit of Satan riding on horses, traveled far, making many hear of this evil. Many hid indoors waiting for these riders to pass by, it soon became frustrating when the Shinsen's soldiers became part of the dead fellows who opposed the riders. Jempiah, a seventeen year old Lord who traveled from Europe to Japan, came in search of the one wicked dancer. The dancer that was not being found with ease.

"Saito…this is getting ridiculous…already five of our men are dead, surely there must be an answer why they are" the top Lord of the Shinsen asked…

"Yes…these black riders…the seven black riders, have killed our men…" Saito sat back looking at his Lord…

"Killed? Are they part of the Ishin?" the man looked seriously at the Saito…

"We highly doubt that. The Ishin is not a group of soldiers to go attacking anyone as they feel. This seems to be the work of an underground network. We deduce as well this isn't any Japanese we're dealing with. From the posh breed of Stallion and the description of these riders, I'd almost say it's a European who's doing this…" Saito muttered

"But why?"

"That's the question everyone's asking, why…we don't know milord…but bit by bit we will know…" Saito affirmed

"How can your certainty be Saito? These men are no joke-and-tell men, these men are cold bloodied assassins, they even made the awesome Shinsen look bad, surely telling me that you and your little group could find out who did this gives me little reassurance" the man sardonically assessed

"All in good time milord we 'will' find out whom these warriors are, and when we do…we will make them taste the wrath of the Shinsen" Saito whispered fiercely…

"Bahh, until then at least" the man spoke…

Saito snarled, leaving the chambers of his lord, Okita followed him.

"What do we do warlord Saito?" the young brown eyes boy asked

"What is there to do Okita…we are left to play this strange game of life and death by an enemy we don't even know. By one who riddles in darkness and attacks when we least expect. Surely, what use would it be in attacking these men, when we don't have the slightest idea what to expect" Saito impassively spoke…

"Then let me be the one to fight on behalf of the Shinsen…I'll do it, I'll find out exactly who they are" Okita volunteered

"Noo…it's too dangerous, besides Okita, you're not in any condition to go out there…" Saito explained…

"Lord Saito, I understand your care for my condition, but I am a Shinsen, and I a wolf. I am always by myself with or without the Shinsen at my side. My sickness has befallen me on a time in my life I would wish it not…please, I need to find out exactly whom these men are. If I don't do this now…the Shinsen will be dire condition. Bit by bit we'll be killed out, I can't allow this warlord Saito. I can't… so please…" he was somewhat begging…

"Okita…it makes no sense throwing your life on the end…" Saito tried to reckon

"My life is already on the end, it is for death to embrace me and I do not fear it. I have lived all my days like the last, and I will not be blinded by a fear for death, I will only welcome it, as my aching body shall find peace alas" Okita watched the moon as it glowed in the sky…

"Very well Okita…though it is somewhat weird for me to just see you leave…I know somehow you will not fail…good luck"

"Arigatou Saito-san. I will leave tomorrow at afternoon or so…for now I'm going to bed…good night" he left his lord to think…

Saito looked at the stars and the moon. Okita was like a son to him, though originally the boy was the correct leader, sickness had come his way. Okita had been sick and it would soon come to pass, death would claim the young boy's life…

Saito sighed, 'and everything is taken from the warriors we are…I wonder…how you coop on days like this Tokio…' he thought…

Kaoru spun around like an angel in the field of flowers. Her dress rising in a circle flying with her hair. The world was beaten with her footsteps as she spun and spun around, to the side of her Ninsuko spun with her and Ayami and Sakura did likewise. Four friends spun in a field of flowers, with each twirl flowers ripped from their stems flying high in the air. Ninsuko screamed when she felt vertigo rushing to her.

Leering forward to Kaoru the two spinning girls crashed into the next falling to the floor watching as the world spun with them. Kaoru rubbed her head feeling the bump she got on her head…

"Ninsuko your head is solid…what you got in it…?" Kaoru asked in a groan.

"Things…" Ninsuko held her head.

Ayami and Sakura eventually stopped, they too complaining about vertigo.

Kaoru and her girls sat together lightly having themselves a good conversation. As they strayed out of context, Ninsuko decided to tell everyone what was on her mind.

"Everyone…we need to discuss some business" she said in a small voice…

"Ohh, sounds secret…spill" Ayami spoke…

"It is secret, but please don't tell anyone I told you guys this, it's totally off limits!" she paused stressfully. She felt a squeeze on her shoulder and she looked up at the person, Kaoru. Her best friend. Sighing lightly she started, "a few days ago the Chosu clan came to the Ishin. You would remember that quite well Kaoru-chan, hmm? It so happens that night Katsura-san told Matsura-san that the Ishin is as feared, spotted by the Shinsen" she paused hearing gasps and seeing shock ridiculing their features…

"What's frightening about this, is that we may have to split up. For sure Kaoru-chan you are one of the persons who are leaving the Ishin shishi. You will be going to the Chosu clan along with the Ishin leaders. Himura-san will be leaving temporarily to our base somewhere in deep Kyoto. It's disturbing…because…we're friends and we're going to be apart…who knows for how long…this might just be the next permanent home for us, and I hope it isn't…" Ninsuko whispered…

"You mean…w-we're going to split up…?" Kaoru repeated in shock…she couldn't believe this…

"Yes, we don't know if this is permanent, but certain to be known,----the Ishin is seen by the Shinsen…" Ninsuko whispered…

"This is so unfair" Kaoru stood tall anger in her voice, on her face…she was so mad…

"Kaoru-chan…there's nothing we can do…" Ninsuko tried to tell the girl…

"I don't want to be separated from my friends…I want everyone to be together…why is everything suddenly changing for the worst?" she sighed in a frustrated manner. She wished now she could pelt a stone at the sky and it would just break. Everything that was once perfect, soon was beginning to take a different life, one that did not involve her. Closing her eyes, she felt the weight of her lashes against her skin. Everything was colder, everything becoming aged with some time. She sighed at that thought.

Ayami stood walking to the distress blue-eyed girl. "Kaoru-chan…it isn't so bad…"

Kaoru fluttered open her eyes looking incredulously at the girl, "isn't so bad? So bad? Of course it's not bad to you. I mean you're not the one whose getting separated from everybody…from all your friends, I mean you'll have Sakura, and Ninsuko…and….and…. Kenshin" she whispered his name lightly…

The thought had come alas and it was killing her…

"I can't allow my father to do this…it's like madness…" Kaoru explained…

"Kaoru-chan, look at me…" Ninsuko tried calling toward the girl…

Kaoru didn't want to see their faces now… the situation was bitter.

"Kaoru-chan…" Ninsuko called again…

Kaoru lightly averted her eyes to her, "we don't even know if this for permanent keeps. Perhaps it isn't…have some faith, fight the good fight of faith…" she spoke…

Kaoru wore a face of grimace feeling like a thorn angel rejected from heaven.

"It doesn't matter Ninsuko, there is a strong feeling that this may very much be our last days…" Kaoru looked at the sky…

"No Kaoru-chan you're wrong. Our days will be renew with joy and fun…" Ninsuko spoke

"Do you hear yourself. It is a shadow of what will come to pass. Ninsuko, they only days of renew joy and fun, is the day we die and enter a world that we with imaginations can not begin to describe…" Kaoru whispered

"I do not want to hear you Kaoru-chan…what you say is garbage. Our days will come again and as long as we remain Japanese and fight for a tomorrow, and wish and pray, then the people of the rising sun will succeed" she paused seeing a bit of shock in Kaoru's eyes, "Kaoru-chan, are you even Japanese in that aspect?" Ninsuko asked…

Kaoru rose her head… "no…"

"Then don't say anything…"

"Why…why shouldn't they know the truth? Eventually our falling will come…eventually we'll die, we might as well accept it" Kaoru broke, she could no longer be the victim to the rubbish she said…

"N-Ninsuko" she went to girl just hugging her…

"Kaoru-chan…Kaoru-chan?" the girl refuse to stop crying. Her hold tight on Ninsuko.

"You guys are my best friends…you all must know something…" she whispered…

"What is it Kaoru-chan…?" Ninsuko pulled back…

"I didn't mean anything I just said, it's just…I really don't want to be apart…from someone…" she whispered looking into their faces…

"What do you mean Kaoru-chan…?" Ayami questioned

"What I'm trying to say…is…is I don't want to be apart, from---- Kenshin…" She wavered…

"What?" everyone backed up…

"I really like him, and I don't want to leave him. I want to be with him…I'm in love with him…" she wanted to make her words distinctively clear…

"So what are you gonna do?" Sakura suddenly asked…

"I dunno…I really don't know" Kaoru frowned…

"Come, I want to show you guys something…" Ninsuko whispered…

The girls got their feet, walking a long distance from a flower-field to a rocky path.

"Ninsuko where the heck are we going?" Ayami asked for the hundredth time

"Up your nose hole" Ninsuko lashed out…

Ayami growled, "careful now…before something comes rumbling down…" Ayami added

"I hope you don't mean your boggers?" Ninsuko asked

"You never know now"

"Come on you guys, if we fight we'll just be working ourselves up" Kaoru spoke…

"Well excuse me…"

The group crossed rivers, passed an entire patch of trees and came to an area which the sea met the rocks. It was cliff, a huge cliff that looked over the sea, "this cliff was here since--- nearly forever, and it has some history, some history I forgot, but anyways that's not important, I really came to show you guys this cliff because it's believed this cliff is magical, -----okay so maybe not magical, but totally cool, its called the Chances cliff." She whispered everyone turning to her.

"What?" Ayami hotly asked

"It's called the Chances cliff if you're deaf" Ninsuko added back…

They exchanged glances growling at the next.

"Why do they call it chances cliff?" Kaoru asked

"They call it chances cliff because, this cliff was known as the cliff where many committed suicide, whilst this is the cliff for bringing lovers together, bringing hope and will back to some. It's either the cliff grants you death or life, and that's why they call it the Chances cliff." Ninsuko spoke

"Is this cliff safe…I mean look at it" Sakura was practically leaning over…

"Yeah it's a strong cliff, many people think it's the ideal location to commit suicide, how lame is that?"

"Is that the beach?" Ayami asked…

"Yup that's the beach…it looks pretty small from here…" Ninsuko whispered…

"It's so amazing…the way the water touches the sky and everything is one…" Kaoru said…

"You guys…how about we make a promise to each other?" Ayami asked getting an idea

"What kind of a promise?" Sakura retorted

"A promise with just the four of us being best friends…forever" Ayami smiled

"Really, well count me in" Kaoru said…

"Me too…" Sakura smiled

"Oh—no, I can't handle Kaoru-chan as my single best friend, you want me to have three more?" Ninsuko sighed tiredly…

"Come Ninsuko, it'll be fun" Kaoru said…

"I dunno…lemme think about it…thinking, and thinking…"

"Done think?" Ayami asked

"I'm still thinking! Okay all done, okay what the heck, I mean I only have one life why the hell shouldn't I exploit it to a point"

"Nobody said anything about exploiting" Ayami said…

"Yeah, whatever…sorry to burst the bubble but you guys we should be getting back…its getting late, come on" Ninsuko rounded up everyone…

The small group returned to the gruesome path they'd have to take to get back home. They whined for an hour straight trying to murder Ninsuko, but they remembered this trip had been memorable, it was a trip of the best four friends merging together and hence it was a day of good confession…

"So Kaoru-chan since we're best friends and stuff, have you ever kissed Himura with your…um tongue?" Sakura asked…

"What?"

"Well have you?" asked Sakura

"Aww mannnnn" Kaoru almost hated herself…

"She totally did"

"I not saying anything" Kaoru smiled guiltily…

"She totally di-id. You did it admit it" Ninsuko poke fingers

"Alright, alright, so maybe I did…" Kaoru playfully said…

"See that wasn't so hard" Ninsuko poked Kaoru…

"Yes it was hard…" Kaoru could tell it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship…

"So have you and Himura ever…you know, you know..?" Sakura asked

"Ewww" Kaoru groused, so maybe it wasn't the beginning of a beautiful friendship, maybe grouse, but it was at least getting somewhere…
