~~23 54 Hrs, 08.12.2003, the Assassins' actual apartment~~
"Oro!" Kenshin said as he turned to the wrong corner, which leads them to their apartment. (Not the one Aoshi, Misao and Sanosuke went to)
"Nandesuka?" Kaoru asked Kenshin who accidentally took Kaoru to the actual apartment.
"I brought you to our apartment. I'm sorry; I think there's a corner in front–," Kenshin said as he trying to find a corner to turn back.
"Ahh… Daijobudesu… maybe I could just stay a night there, couldn't I?" Kaoru asked shyly.
"Oh yeah if you don't mind," Kenshin said as he drove into the driveway. He then parked his Porsche inside the garage. He then stepped out the car and quickly helped Kaoru to open the door. Kaoru blushed as he handed his hand over to her. She then took his hand and walked inside together. (Isn't that sweet!! Kenshin is a real gentleman!!)
~~00 00 Hrs, inside the house~~
"I'm sorry if the house is dirty, but do suit yourself, I'm going to fix some food for you," Kenshin said before walking away to the kitchen.
"Ahh… Maybe I could to help you," Kaoru said while standing up.
"Oroo! Daijobudesu! I could manage it myself!!" Kenshin assured her.
"But I can help you to cut vegetables or anything. I'm don't like to just sit here while you cook for me. It makes me look like I'm a person who only knows how to eat!!" Well actually, I wanted you to have a good impression of me. Hehe
"Demo…" Kenshin said feeling in dilemma.
"Please?!" Kaoru insisted.
"If you insist…" Kenshin said defeated. He then led the happy Kaoru to the kitchen, which extraordinarily was very clean.
"Ano, what would you want to eat, Kaoru?" Kenshin asked her. Kaoru thought for a while before answering that she wanted to eat some Miso ramen. Then Kenshin took out some Miso and ramen out from the refrigerator and told Kaoru to clean the beef and other ingredients. Then Kenshin cooked the noodles while Kaoru cleaned the other ingredients.
The noodles were ready a few minutes later. Then they ate the noodles silently before Kaoru broke the silence.
"Ano, Kenshin," Kaoru said.
"Nandesu de gozaru ka?" Kenshin replied.
Kaoru blushed a little before saying out, "Were you in any relationship before? I mean err— had you ever fall in love with someone?" Kaoru blurted shyly. "I'm sorry I shouldn't had asked about it—" Kaoru said out while bowing her head before being stopped by Kenshin.
"Yes I did. Once, but it was a long time ago… when I was thirteen, there was a new family moved next to our house. That time, I was very happy that I had a new friend so I became very close to my neighbours especially their daughter Yukishiro Tomoe. She was thirteen that time too. We are so close that we didn't want to go back home even it was midnight." Kenshin chuckled before continuing. "Then when we were eighteen we decided that we wanted to move to Tokyo to find some proper job. We shared a house together, which we rented ourselves… our relationship started that time but then when we were twenty, I proposed her but her didn't accept it." Kaoru was dumbfounded when she heard that the woman didn't accept his proposal so she asked, "Why didn't she accept it?"
He then answered, "I don't really know actually… but that time I thought that she was not prepared for it so I decided to propose again when she is ready. But when I proposed for the second time, she said that she couldn't marry me and ran away. Then one morning her family came and told me that, she had killed herself that night. I was so heartbroken that I started to lock myself up and I had tried to kill myself a few times before but Sano had stopped me before I kill myself. I went into rehab for a few months. Then when I came out, still lost, Sano introduced me to Okina. And thanks to Okina and Sano I became a famous drummer and now we made this band."
"I'm sorry that you have to remember this incident again…" Kaoru said apologetically.
"Oro!! Daijobu de gozaru yo. Have you finished? I think it is very late already and beauties need their beauty sleep," Kenshin praised her and trying to change the subject while taking his and Kaoru's bowls to the sink. Kaoru only blushed in return.
"Ah… let me help you wash the dishes," Kaoru said while standing up and walked to Kenshin.
"Demo— Oroo!!" Kenshin was trying to tell Kaoru that he didn't need any help when Kaoru suddenly swiftly took the bowls from Kenshin's hand. Kaoru then took the bowls to the sink and washed them, much to Kenshin's protest. Kenshin then sighed before helping her to wash then remaining dishes and wiping the table. After they cleaned the dishes, they decided to sleep.
"Kaoru, you could sleep in my bed," Kenshin said as they entered his room.
"Then where are you sleeping?" Kaoru asked.
"I could just sleep on the couch," Kenshin said.
"No, you cannot! You should sleep in your room!! It is not fair for you." Kaoru protested.
"But you are a girl and you shouldn't be sleeping in the living room," Kenshin protested too.
"But… Oh yeah! Ano, Kenshin… the bed is big enough for two of us so how about if we share the bed?" Kaoru blushed as she asked him. Kenshin also blushed when he heard Kaoru's suggestion but he still managed to nod his head. But then suddenly both of them said, "Sleep only!!" simultaneously. They then blushed and scolded themselves in their mind. They then went into the bend and exchanged good nights to each other before falling into a deep slumber.
~~03 25 Hrs, in the apartment~~
Kaoru and Kenshin was soundly sleeping when the door suddenly opened, revealing a slightly drunk Soujiro and Shura.
"Come on you-" Soujiro said to Shura before pulling her into a deep passionate kiss.
Shura quickly pushed Soujiro away and exclaimed "Not here! In your room." She turned seductive. Soujiro smiled knowingly. Together they stumbled into his room, quickly stripped off their clothes, with a wide mouth passionate kiss.
~~An hour later (Wink-wink) ~~
Worn out, sleepy, both of them collapsed on Soujiro's bed without even thought off cleaning the place up nor thought of putting on some clothes. Sighing contently Shura slept on Soujiro shoulder. (THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO WITHOUT TURNING IT INTO A RATED R OR NC-17!!!!!)
~~07 30 Hrs, 09.12.2003, on the way to the Airport~~
"Dammit!" Aoshi cursed while hitting the steering.
"What's wrong?" Misao asked.
"My passport," Aoshi said while trying to find place for a U-turn.
"Well you won't really need it," Misao answered.
"Just in case. I am not going to the Airport without a passport," Aoshi said while making a U-turn.
"You're weird… then where is it?" Misao asked while raising an eyebrow.
"In the other apartment," Aoshi said while increasing his speed.
"Wow! Slow down! It's not like the apartment would run away!" Misao said while clutching onto the side of the door.
"But the plane won't wait for us, and the apartment is quite far from here. That's why we need to speed up," Aoshi said while turning left.
"Wow! Just don't kill us!" Misao said while closing her eyes and prayed that she will not die in the trip.
~~07 40 Hrs, in the actual apartment~~
Aoshi and Misao reached the apartment in record time, about ten minutes, which is about ten minutes faster than usual. Misao was really glad that they reached there without any harm, barely.
Aoshi opened the door and entered the house followed by a still shaken Misao. Aoshi then walked into his room leaving Misao alone in the living room. Because of her curious nature, Misao decided to wander around while waiting for Aoshi to come out. She then walked to a hallway that Aoshi had gone into moments earlier, which connects Soujiro's, Sanosuke, Aoshi and lastly Kenshin room. Misao saw Soujiro's room and decided to check out her boyfriend. Then what she saw was not what she expected as she saw a naked Soujiro with an equally naked woman she did not know. The other woman's breast was showing and it confirmed her suspicion. Misao was so shocked as never in her world would she had imagined that Soujiro would do such a thing to her. Slowly as in cue tears started to flow, the ache in her heart was almost unbearable. She turned away to run but as she is blinded with tears she did not see the vase that she and Soujiro bought during their first year anniversary and she accidentally knocked it over causing a loud crash. That woke Soujiro up. Soujiro jumped out of the bed as he saw a very familiar end of a braid. He quickly took the nearest apparel, which happened to be a lacy female pantie. (Imagine Soujiro wearing a woman's panties HAHA!) Then he ran out the door and chased after Misao. He was able to grasp Misao's hand before she ran out the door.
"Hanaste!! Konoyaro!!" Misao shouted while slapping him on his cheek. "How could you do this to me?" She screamed at Soujiro. Without any warning, she took Soujiro by the shoulder, kneeled him on his groin (Ouch!), and shouted, "We're over!!" then she ran out the door.
"NO!! Damnit!! Ouch!! Wait!! Misao!! You B**th! Ouch!" Soujiro said while trying to stop the pain (you know where).
Aoshi who was surprised by the loud crashing noises went out and saw a very disturbing scene- A Soujiro in a lacy woman panties and a crying and furious Misao running out the door. Something snapped inside him and he actually felt anger towards Soujiro, usually he is just the silent observer. He slowly and almost calmly on the outside but on the inside he is seething with anger, walked up to Soujiro who was still in pain and also without any warning to Soujiro punched him with all his strength on Soujiro's eye when he turned around (Much to Soujiro horror) . Aoshi then stormed out the door and closed it with a force, which shook the whole apartment.
Soujiro fell on the floor with a loud thud and a black eye. He is too in pain to be able to say something. Shura was just walking out of the door in very indecent clothes, which was only Soujiro's T-shirt and nothing underneath it. She then saw Soujiro lying on the floor with a black eye. "Soujiro-anata, daijobudesuka?! Soujiro-anata!!" She said while running to him and helped him up.
Both Kaoru and Kenshin were awaken by the loud crash and also some screaming. Kenshin wore his T-shirt and went out followed by Kaoru who had her hair brushed up into her usual ponytail before coming out. Kenshin went out of his room and saw everything from Misao slapping Soujiro until Aoshi punched Soujiro. He was still confused of what is happening there until he saw Shura walking out of Soujiro's room right in front of him. Glints of gold could be seen in his eyes. He then gradually walked up to the couple.
Soujiro when he saw Kenshin started to realise that he is in a very deep trouble; he started to shake his head in terror almost begging for him not to beat him. His eyes show all the terror, if Soujiro was not hurt, he could have defended himself but now he could not move because of the unbearable pain in his crotch.
"Oh yeah?" Kenshin said, understanding his frighten face expression before he punched Soujiro's other eyes. (Another black eye for Sou-kun) Behind Kenshin was Kaoru, A very, very pissed Kaoru. She then said, "You A**hole!! How dare you cheat Misao-chan?!" and punched him on his nose, making Soujiro nosebleed. Shura was too shocked after she saw Kenshin and Kaoru punched Soujiro. Kaoru then turned to the still stunned Shura and said, "You B**ch!!" and slapped her before taking Kenshin's hand and left the apartment.
Soujiro now had a pair of Panda eyes and a nosebleed. He was now bleeding, badly injured and his pride will be too if they told the media about this.
~~08 01 Hrs, outside the apartment~~
Misao entered Aoshi's car as she saw Aoshi coming out of the building. Misao was shattered after that but she managed to stop crying because she did not want to look weak in front of Aoshi. Aoshi without any word (because he is still angry) started the engine and left the place.
At the same time, Kaoru ran to the parking lot hoping to see Misao anywhere but only saw a black Lamborghini leaving the compound.
"She will be fine… I'm sure Aoshi would handle her," Kenshin said reassuring Kaoru. "Ikoze…" Kenshin said again while leading Kaoru to his car. Then they sat in the car for a few minutes before Kaoru said, "Wait, we haven't brushed our teeth yet…"
