'Her line is still busy! Darn it!' Kenshin was pacing around the apartment holding the cordless phone and tried calling Kaoru for the last two hours. 'Kaoru....Kaoru....Kaoru....' His mind won't stop thinking about Kaoru and what happened to them just now. The kiss...
Kenshin gave up as he put the cordless phone on the coffee table and exited his apartment. He walked down the wet pavement as he headed to the pub where his father, Hiko was waiting for him with a bottle of sake.
"Oi baka deshi...you look horrible!" Kenshin shrugged as he took a seat opposite to Hiko.
"Babe problems?"
"I don't know..." wiped his face with his hands and watched as Hiko drink the sake. That must be his fifth bottle and he's not even close to be drunk yet.
"You're clueless..." Hiko shook his head. "...you're maybe one of the hottest guys in Japan but you're totally clueless about women! I just can't even think that I raised you!" His words were dripping with sarcasm.
Kenshin smiled and drift off thinking about Kaoru. He's still clueless what Kaoru was thinking about him...

Kaoru took a long bath after talked to Soujirou for two hours and forty-five minutes. Kaoru was now washing her long raven black hair when she heard the apartment door was unlocked by Megumi. She heard Megumi stumbled a little bit. She must be a little drunk.
As Kaoru stepped out from the shower, in her bathrobe she walked into the living room and saw Megumi slumped into the sofa, rubbing her temples. "I can't believe he asked me that..." Megumi muttered.
"Asked what?" Kaoru took a seat beside her best friend.
"Marry him. One time he was fooling around with those stupid models and now he asking me to marry him!" Megumi mumbled. As she told her story, her hands were up in the air, swaying here and there and it almost hit Kaoru on the face.
"Don't you want to marry him?"
"Well yeah...but I'm afraid if he'll leave me for another woman. You know Sano...he's always fooling around. I'm afraid, Kaoru."
"That...I think you should discuss with Sano. Ask him if he's ready for commitment." Kaoru patted her friend's hand.
"Oookay...thanks Kaoru for helping me out and now I think I want to have a long sleep!" Megumi stood up and stretched and stumbled to her bedroom.

After three days...

"Hurry up! Our flight is in five minutes!" Sano and the gang ran as fast as they can to their gate and also from their fans.
Soon they managed to get in time, and Sano drew a sigh of relief. He was after all the leader for this trip. Sano was seated beside Megumi and Kaoru beside Kenshin. Kaoru and Kenshin haven't said a word to each other. And Kaoru doesn't intend to.
"I think I broke my heel when we were running!" Megumi whined.
Sano chuckled. "Who would wear high heels when they're traveling? You're clueless..."
"Are saying that I'm stupid?" Megumi voice got a little bit higher.
"No! I'm just saying that you wouldn't break your heels if you would get ready faster! And here you are whining because of your heels which you break them yourself because of your lack of punctuality!"
"What?!" And then both of them start bickering like usual. It went on and on until the stewardess came to them and asking them to keep their voices down because they're disturbing other passengers.
Kaoru was busy signing autographs for a few passengers. Kenshin looked at the angel who was sitting beside him. The way she talked and smile just made his heart beats faster. When the commotion all died down, Kaoru tried making herself comfortable by shuffling in her seat. Kenshin looked at her and gathered her into a tight embrace.
He felt her body stiffened and he was pushed away from his angel. Kaoru eyes were covered by her bangs.
"I'm sorry. Thank you for trying to make myself comfortable but I think it would be better if I asked the stewardess for a pillow." Kenshin nodded and felt a little bit embarrassed and turned his attention to the window. Then he turned his attention over to where Sano and Megumi were and saw that both of them we cuddling. Sano wrapped his arms around Megumi and her head was on Sano's shoulder.
He turned to Kaoru who was hugging her pillow. She was reading a novel and she was totally into it until she doesn't realized that Kenshin bent his head near her left ear and whispered something.
"Kaoru...I need to tell you something..."
"I will tell you about it when we arrived in Hokkaido." Kaoru stiffened and looked at Kenshin. He flashed her one of his charming smiles and closed his eyes taking a short nap. He put his head on Kaoru's shoulder and mumbled something like 'wake me up when we arrived'.

Soon they arrived in Hokkaido. As they exited the plane, Sano insisted that they should wear their glasses so no one would recognize them. But yet again, at the luggage pick-up centre they attract lots of people.
"Isn't that Sanosuke Sagara and Megumi Takani?"
"Oh...it's Kenshin Himura! He is so...hot!"
"It's Kaoru! Kamiya Kaoru!!!"
"Brilliant idea Sano!" Megumi whined as she picked up her luggage. Kaoru giggled. Kenshin helped Kaoru with her luggage. Kaoru muttered quick thanks as she took her luggage from him. 'Why is he so different? He acted as if nothing happened between us.'
As four of them making their way out of the airport, suddenly Kaoru ran towards a man and hugged him. The man was not shocked but Kenshin was fuming! 'Who is that guy?!'
"Ahh...that must be Kaoru's cousin! Soujirou..." Megumi smiled as she walked towards the hugging cousins. Sano followed her too and leaving the dumbfounded Kenshin. 'It's only her cousin!! But they don't have a special relationship do they?? I hope not...'
"Oh Sou-chan! How I've missed you!"
"Me too darling!" Soujirou smiled. And the hugging cousins turned to Kaoru's three friends.
"Hi Sou-kun! It's been along time since I saw you!"
"Hey Soujirou!" Sano slapped the guy's back.
The young man kept smiling and he turned to Kenshin. "So...darling! This must be him right? The one who is pretending to be your boyfriend..."
Everyone seemed to freeze except Kaoru. Kaoru nodded. "He's the guy!" Soujirou took Kenshin's hand and shook it. "Thank you very much for saving my darling's reputation. And thank you for taking care of my girl for me!
"Hey Soujirou...what's with the darling and 'my girl' crap?" Sano said while helping Megumi with her luggage.
"Darling...shouldn't you tell them about 'us'?" Soujirou wrapped his arms around Kaoru's slim waist. Kenshin was fuming of what was happening in front of him.
Everybody looked at Kaoru waiting for her reply. "Of course! I'm Soujirou's girlfriend. You know that I think of Kenshin as a brother. My big bro!" Kaoru winked. Kenshin was speechless. Megumi and Sano were speechless too.
"But...but..." Megumi was cut off when Kenshin said, "Of course! Only a brother..." His eyes were covered from his bangs as he pulled his entire luggage towards Soujirou's car.

Soujirou's blue Honda drove up to a bungalow house near the beach. It was a hot summer and the gang decided to stay at Soujirou's house rather in a hotel. The gang was greeted by Soujirou's mother who is Kaoru's aunt.
The lady has brown hair and a smile plastered on her lovely face. "Kao-chan!"
"Oka-chan!!" As Kaoru got out from the car, she came running towards her aunty and hugged her. Kenshin looked at them. He gave them a sad smile. Soujirou noticed this and put a hand on his shoulder. "Something bothering you, Ken-san?"
Kenshin nodded. "Why is Kaoru calling your mother, 'mother'?"
"You see...Kaoru parents died when she was five years old. All this time, my mother took care of her. They grown fond of each other and my mother decided that Kaoru should call her 'mom'." Soujirou explained. A smile was plastered on his face.

"You must be Kenshin! My name is Tae. I'm Kaoru's aunt." The older woman smiled.
"Doumo arigatou gozaimasu Tae-san for offering me your hospitality." And after the hugging session ended, which everybody got hugged by Tae, she showed them to their rooms. Kenshin unpacked his clothes and put them into the cupboard. He smiled when he heard Kaoru whined at the other room. (Yes, Kenshin's room is beside Kaoru's)
"But, oka-chan! I want to help you cook lunch!!"
"You don't have to Kao-chan! I can manage and just relaxed! It's a lovely day and spends sometime at the beach!"
"Okay..."
Kenshin decided to head to the beach. He was wearing khaki pants and a white baggy shirt which he unbuttoned revealing his muscular chest. His hair was tied up in a high ponytail. (Looking like battousai! I don't know why but I like the battousai look! I think it's hot!! Ohohohohohoho...ehem...back to the story)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaoru walked out from her room wearing a blue bikini top and a transparent jacket with khaki shorts. Holding her beach essentials and humming a song she suddenly bumped into a spiky haired boy.
"Watch out where you're going busu!"
"I'm sorry but you don't have the right to call me that!!" Kaoru huffed.
"You must the girl that oka-chan always talking about..." the boy shot her an evil glare.
"Kao-chan! This is Yahiko-chan!" Tae walked out from the kitchen, smiling.
"Yahiko?"
"You see...he's my adopted son! I'm so bored when you left us so I think it would be great if I adopt another child!" Tae hugged Yahiko.
"Well...nice to meet you Yahiko-chan!" Kaoru smiled but the boy glared at her and the only reply Kaoru got is "Busu..."
"Baka!" Kaoru bonked him on the head and headed straight to the beach.

After a few minutes Kaoru left the house for the beach, Kenshin got out from his room looking for her. He was looking for Sano and Megumi too. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
"Hey Sano! Where are you?"
"At the bottom pit of hell...Ouch!" Sano replied and he got hit by Megumi. Sano heard Kenshin chuckled on the other line.
"Yeah dude...I got dragged by my sexy babe to go shopping. She said she needs a new pair of shoes. Looks like she's buying the whole shop again!" whined Sano.
"Be strong my friend! You're going to get married in 11 days! Be strong!!" Kenshin chuckled. Kenshin hung up and looked for Kaoru. The sun shone brightly and the sand and the sea are breathtaking. But the sight of the angel upon him was good enough to make him crazy. There she was, trying as hard as she can to apply sun block on herself but failed miserably.
8o8o8o8o8o8o8
Kaoru tried to apply the sun block on her back but it was so hard! She shook the bottle and squeezed it but the liquid won't come out so she squeezed it harder and the liquid came and splattered on her face. A chuckle could be heard and a hand was on her shoulder.
"Maybe I could help?" Kenshin whispered closely to her left ear and it gave shivers through her veins. Kaoru tried to choke out a word but Kenshin already seated himself and started applying sun block on her back. He gave her a relaxing message but Kaoru couldn't relax. Kenshin felt her body stiffened and whispered, "Relax...you're so tensed." Soon, Kaoru found herself to relax and she closed her eyes and almost dozed off when Kenshin stopped.
"Don't stop..." Kaoru mumbled. "I'm sorry but I think we should talk." Kaoru stiffened and turned around to look at Kenshin in the eye.
"What should we talk about?"
"Us...do you really think that I'm like your brother?" Kaoru winced and stuttered. "Um...of course!"
"Only a brother huh?" Kaoru nodded and Kenshin sigh.
"I don't think you really having a relationship with Soujirou." Kenshin said in a thoughtful tone.
"What?! I assured you that we have a relationship! I love him! You heard him!" Beads of sweat dropped from Kaoru's forehead.
"But I'm your boyfriend and I'm not allowing that...do you want me to tell them about our little passion on a certain rainy day?" Kenshin gave an evil grin.
"It was an accident! And you're not really my boyfriend!!" Kaoru was fuming now. Kenshin stroked Kaoru left cheek and whispered. "It was an accident but after that, it was not...by the way, I'm going to make you admit about you and Soujirou. So watch out for me love..." Kenshin pecked Kaoru on the lips and left the dumbfounded Kaoru.
I am so in a big trouble...
