The silver Mercedes sports car parked in the parking lot. Kaoru who was wearing pink glasses stepped out of the car happily. Kenshin on the other hand, sadly stepped out of the car ad locked it. He puts his hand in his pockets and let Kaoru dragged him. Kaoru grabbed hold of his right arm and dragged him to the shops on the streets. Kenshin stared horribly at the rows of shops. 'Burberrys, Chanel, Versace, French Connection, Tiffany and co., and other rows of shops. I think I'm going to be sick.' Kenshin thought and felt a sickening feeling in his stomach. Kaoru eyed him sharply as his face turned green.

"Oh grow up Kenshin! Its not that bad going shopping!" She dragged him into one of the shops.

"ORO!!!"

Kaoru and Kenshin stepped into a shop and people seemed to freeze. Everybody eyed them and some of them started whispering. Kaoru smiled and dragged Kenshin to the nearest rack of clothes. She tried some tops and Kenshin stood there holding clothes that Kaoru wanted to buy. Kaoru paid and they stepped out of the shop. Kenshin was carrying two bags of clothes while Kaoru dragged him into another shop.

This time it was a shoe shop and Kaoru tried a few pair of shoes. Kenshin stood there reading a magazine and sometimes he would sign autographs for the women who worked at the shop.

"Hey Kenshin! Which one would you prefer?" Kaoru held up two different kinds of shoes. One was a pair of red stilettos and the other one was a blue sandal with a huge flower on it.

"Why would you want my opinion?"

"Because you are my 'lover'!!" Kaoru raised her voice a bit when she said the word 'lover'. People started to stare at the couple. Some of then, of course would started gossiping and some of them were grinning and giggling. Kenshin blushed. He nodded and chose the blue sandals.

"Oh Kenshin! I love you!" Kaoru hugged Kenshin and pecked him on the cheek. She then kissed his nose. Kenshin turned beet red and said, "Urmm...maybe I should pay for that." He took the sandal and paid for it. Kaoru smiled and giggled. 'I just love to make him blush! I have to do this often! He is so kawaii!!'

After that, they went to a café and ate their lunch there. Kaoru ordered a bowl of salad and a glass of water while Kenshin ordered a cup of coffee. Soon they enjoyed their lunch together.

"I can't believe you're having only coffee!! Maybe you should have some of my salad..." offered Kaoru.

"No thank you...I'm full and I had my breakfast while you haven't Kaoru..." Kenshin smiled and sipped his coffee.

Kaoru smiled weakly and touched his hand. "Thank you for paying for the sandals. Really! I wish I could do something for you..."

Kenshin blushed again. 'Score!' Kaoru thought.

"Maybe you lover should urmm...deserve a ...kiss?"

Kaoru blushed. She moved forward. Kenshin closed his eyes and waited for the kiss. Kaoru saw this and smiled. She moved closer but kissed him on the cheek instead. 'Too risky!'

Disappointment clearly showed on Kenshin's face but quickly replaced it with a sunny smile. "Arigatou..."

They enjoyed their lunch getting to know each other.

Enishi sat in a café and sipped his cappuccino. His phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Enishi...it's me! I want you get your stinking butt up here now!!!" Then Shishio hung up.

"Sheeesh!" Enishi turned off his phone. He paid for his cappuccino and drove off.

He entered Shishio's office. Shishio was smoking with an angry expression on his face. Enishi grinned and looked around. "Where's the babe?"

"We have to talk."

"Okay..." Enishi flopped onto a chair and took cigarette.

Shishio threw a today's newspaper on the desk. "Look at this you moron!"

"She found a new lover...so what?"

"Listen here you moron...do you want to lose five million bucks?"

"Of course not...but relax Shishio...I do have a plan! Please wait and let me handle this."

"What are you going to do?"

"I've heard that both of them are going shopping. I know the place. I'm just going to pay a little visit!" Enishi chuckled evilly.

"I can't believe you are Hiko's son! What a small world!" Kaoru giggled. She walked happily while Kenshin was busy carrying all the shopping bags.

"Adopted son would be exact." Kenshin said.

"I just can't believe Hiko has an adopted son! He never told us before!"

"Well...I'm an embarrassment to him I guess...that's why he hasn't mentioned about me to anyone..." mumbled Kenshin.

"No!! That couldn't be it! Look at you! You're famous, successful, good looking and girls just couldn't get enough of you! What kind of embarrassment is that?"

Kenshin blushed at Kaoru's remark. Kaoru smiled. She tugged Kenshin's arm and dragged him into an antique shop.

Kaoru gasped as she saw many kinds of antiques. "I just love going to antique shops!"

Kenshin dropped all the shopping bags and took a seat at a wooden stool near the cash register. He was amazed as he saw Kaoru jumping excitedly looking at all the antiques.

Suddenly, something caught his eye. A long sword in its sheath is placed on an old cabinet. He took it and unsheathes it. "It's a reverse edge sword young man."

Kenshin turned and faced an old man with a white beard. "Looks like you're interested in this sakabatou." The old man smiled. Kenshin nodded. Suddenly both of them heard Kaoru shrieking. "Oh my god!! It's the most beautiful thing I ever seen in my whole life!" Kaoru held up an old Victorian style music box. She giggled and put it on the cash register. "Excuse me mister...I want to buy this." Kaoru said at the old man politely. Kenshin smiled as he watched Kaoru paid for the music box.

He suddenly felt an urge to buy the sakabatou. 'I feel like I need this sakabatou. It's like a part of me...' Kenshin took the sakabatou and put it on the cash register. Kaoru looked at the sakabatou and smiled. Both of them paid for their things but Kenshin insisted to pay for the music box and they...well...let just say have a little fight. Kaoru bonked Kenshin on the head with the sakabatou for the last time. "You don't have to pay for it! I can afford it!"

Kenshin and Kaoru walked down to the parking lot. While Kaoru put all the shopping bags at the back seat, Kenshin excused himself going to a nearby public toilet. Kaoru smiled happily while humming a song. Suddenly, a red sports car stopped behind her and honked. She turned around and horror clearly seen on her face. The last person she wanted to see was in front of her grinning.

Enishi stepped out of the car, walking towards Kaoru with an evil smile on his face. "My darling..." He pushed Kaoru against a wall and started to kiss Kaoru's neck. "Why are you with that man??" Enishi breathed heavily as he kissed Kaoru's neck. Tears started to fall down her cheeks. "Please no..." choked Kaoru.

"What was that, bitch? Want me to kiss you more?" Enishi started kissing Kaoru on the lips. He slides his tongue into her mouth. Kaoru felt that she's going to be sick. 'Kenshin...'

Kenshin was walking back to the parking lot when he saw the thing he feared most. 'Enishi was kissing Kaoru. His Kaoru...' Kenshin ran towards them. With his god-like speed, he took his sakabatou which he carries and unsheathes it. He pushed Enishi towards his car and his sakabatou was only a few centimeters from Enishi's neck. "How dare you..." Kenshin's voice was deadly. His beautiful purple eyes turned amber.

Enishi smiled. "If you kill me...you'll go to jail. Do you want that?" Enishi stifled an evil laugh. "I don't care..." Kenshin started to choke Enishi. Enishi's face turned blue and he quickly took a dagger from his pocket and slashed Kenshin's wrist. Lots of blood spurts out and Kaoru started to scream. "KENSHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kenshin thrust the sakabatou's sheath towards Enishi's stomach. "Arghhh!!!" Enishi growled and limped back to his car and drove off. "I'll get you back Himura! Mark my words..."

As they saw Enishi's car drove off, Kaoru hugged Kenshin and sobbed. "You're hurt and it's my entire fault!"

"It's not your fault Kaoru..."

"Oh my god! You lost lots blood. I should get you to a hospital!" Kaoru hopped into the driver's seat. "Come on! Hurry up! We should get your wrist treated." Kenshin hopped onto the passenger's seat holding his injured wrist. He's trying as hard as he can to stop from losing a lot of blood.

"Urmm...Kaoru?? Do you have a license?"

"NO! This is my first time driving a car."

"ORO!"

"Hold on tight!" And they drove off to a nearest hospital. Out of their view, a black car with a man and a woman laughed evilly. "We got them! It will be all over the news!" the man laughed. "I can't wait!" the woman giggled.
