Kenshin unlocked his apartment door and dumped all his bags on the floor. He checked if he had any messages and there were two from his father, Hiko and there's another one from his friend from New Zealand who's now in Japan. He checked his mail and there was a letter from his fellow photographer Tsunan who was offering him to be business partners. It will be in Milan and the letter said if he's interested just give Tsunan a call. Kenshin thought about it and suddenly his mind drifted to the subject, Kaoru.

His heart ache just replaying what he saw in Kaoru's room. 'There's no used for me staying here, in Japan…" He picked up the phone receiver and dialed Tsunan's number.

"Hey Tsunan…it's me, Kenshin."

The flight was terrible for Kaoru. Although it was just a short flight but the thought of Kenshin hurting because of her was disturbing… She couldn't help but shed some tears and at least she's not attracting attentions from other people.

"Miss Kamiya? Are you okay? Would you like me to get some tissues for you?" asked a blonde air stewardess. Kaoru nodded and muttered a 'thank you'.

Kaoru tried calling Kenshin's phone but it was turned off just as she suspected. But it's not going to hurt just for trying isn't it? Kaoru asked the cab driver to drop off at Kenshin's apartment. With her bags still in her hands as she dragged them into the lift without any help, she pushed the button to Kenshin's floor.

Kenshin who just got out from the shower heard thunder booming in the sky. 'Just great…now the weather matched my mood…' He who was in boxers was ruffling his hair with a towel, suddenly heard someone ringing his doorbell. Without bothering who it was, he opened the door and was shocked when Kaoru who was standing on his doorstep.

He let Kaoru in without saying a word and flopped himself on the sofa while rubbing his temples. Kaoru dumped all her bags on the floor, joining Kenshin's bags. The thunder boomed again and Kaoru tried not to jump. Instead she tried to maintain her composure. Trying to remember what she was going to say that she practiced on the plane, Kenshin asked her first.

"What are you doing here?" Kenshin knew that he was being blunt but he didn't care. Kaoru's presence was really hurting him.

"Aren't you going to ask me about my flight?" Kaoru answered with another question. Kenshin shook his head and continued rubbing his temples. "Don't you read my letter carefully? I said I want some time alone…" Kaoru stunned a bit and went into Kenshin's kitchen to get him a glass of water since he looked like he's coming with a headache.

Kenshin lay on the sofa, still rubbing his temples. Despite wearing only boxers and a towel around his neck, he didn't care. His head hurt so much. Kaoru gave him a glass of water and he drank it gratefully.

"Do you need some aspirin?"

"No…" Kenshin closed his eyes. Kaoru sat beside him and caressed his forehead until he falls asleep. At first Kenshin tried to push her hand away but it was so comforting that he can't resist. Kaoru watched Kenshin drifted to sleep and smiled at his calm face. A tear fall from her eye and she quickly wiped it away. Her hand left Kenshin's forehead and she opened her luggage bag to find a towel and some fresh clothes so she can freshen up.

Kenshin's dream:

It was all black. I even can't see my own body but suddenly, there was a light shone from above. A person walking towards me, it was a woman. She awfully looks familiar but I can't seem to recognize her. The woman was crying, I think but as she came nearer I know who she is…its Kaoru. She was crying and crying until she came so close to me that our breath mingled, she slapped me.

"I hate you!"

"Kaoru?"

"I hate you!"

"I don't know what you're talking about…"

"I said I hate you! I hate you…" Then she took out a dagger and…

Kaoru who just got out from the bathroom saw that Kenshin was tossing and turning and his face was scrunched up. He was having a nightmare. Kaoru quickly went to Kenshin's side and hugged him. Beads of sweat appeared on Kenshin's forehead and Kaoru tried whispering soothing words at him. Kenshin broke out from her hug and stood up.

"NO!" Kenshin screamed and Kaoru flinched a bit.

"What Kenshin? No for what?"

"You…stay away from me…" His eyes were amber, looking straightly at her own eyes. His hair was messy and wearing only boxers he shivered a bit. Tinge of red appeared on his cheeks.

"Kenshin…you're ill." Kaoru took a step closer.

"I said stay away from me!" Kaoru froze. He dropped himself onto the floor, his fiery red bangs covering his eyes. "Kenshin…go back to sleep. Please…" Kaoru draped an arm around his shoulder, luckily he didn't push away. Kaoru put her chin on top of his head while her hands running through his hair.

"Why did you hurt me so much?" Kenshin's voice was quite and deep. Kaoru stunned a bit but still continued running her hands into Kenshin's red hair.

"Why did you come back? I'm trying to forget you and now you're here…why?"

"Don't you have enough hurting me?"

"I know you're just playing with me…I know you don't have anything with that cousin of yours…" Kenshin said through clenched teeth. His eyes were still amber.

"Kenshin…you don't understand…" Kaoru released Kenshin from her hug and tears started to run down from her cheeks. "…I was confused…I admit that the things that I did to you were childish but please forgive me…"

"Are you having doubts of my love?" Kenshin said to Kaoru who was wiping her tears.

"Yeah…maybe…because you're not the person who always making the first moves…" Kaoru said quietly, barely for Kenshin to hear.

Kenshin kind of heard what the last part she was saying and pushed Kaoru to the floor and trapped her with his arms. His amber orbs gazed into her blue ones. "What do you mean by that?" growled Kenshin. Kaoru felt uneasy by their position and blushed.

"Come on…tell me! What do you mean by that?"

Kaoru shrugged. "Well, you're not making the first move…I myself as a woman waiting for you to do that…because…I'm already falling for you…" She stared at the shocked amber eyes in front of her, but it recovered quickly when Kenshin smirked.

"Well…if you say so…let me make things clear for you…" And that his lips claimed hers. He suckled on her upper lip while Kaoru's arms wrapped around Kenshin's waist, pulling his closer.

As Kenshin slide his tongue into her mouth, Kaoru gasped. This was her first time and it was really good. This feeling…it's so weird, yet it feels so good…

"Kaoru…Kaoru…" Kenshin moaned, his lips leaved hers and continued kissing her jaw line.

"Y-yes Kenshin?" breathlessly Kaoru replied and moaned when Kenshin suckled her left ear. Kenshin grinned hearing Kaoru's moans.

"Kaoru…I just want to say…" Kenshin kissed her left cheek and whispered, "…that I love you…" When Kaoru heard that, tears fell from her eyes. She closed her eyes and hugged Kenshin close to her.

"Kaoru? Are you okay?" He looked into her teary sapphire orbs. Kaoru shook her head. She looked into Kenshin's eyes which turning into purple now with slits of amber inside them. "I...I'm okay…" She smiled but still, Kenshin was still not convinced. "You're sure?" He pulled himself into a sitting position and brings Kaoru with him. He sat Kaoru on his lap, kissing light kisses on her neck.

"Kenshin?"

"Yes, love?"

"I love you too…"

The gang back in Hokkaido was worried since Kaoru hasn't called. Tae was sitting on the sofa worried, while Sano still whining about Megumi knocking him out. And not to forget that he just lost his best man. Soujirou was waiting by the phone, waiting for it to ring.

"Damn it! Baby…do you have to knocked me so…hard!"

"Oh just shut up! You're just getting on my nerves."

"Oh yeah!"

"Yeah…"

And that made Sano shut up and flopped himself beside Tae. "I hope they're okay…" Tae was worried about her daughter's matter of situation. She must win him back…Oh Kaoru...I hope you succeed! I know that he's the one for you!

Suddenly the phone rang. Everybody shot up and Soujirou quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Kaoru, is that you?"

"Umm…is this Soujirou? This is Misao…"

"Misao?"

"Umm…I'm Kaoru's friend. Is she there?"

"Umm…she's not here. She's back in Tokyo."

"Oh! She is! I wonder why haven't she called…hey…can I speak to Megumi?"

"Okay then, wait a sec…"

(Megumi on the line)

"Yeah weasel?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Oh just shut up. Are you wondering about Kaoru?"

"Yeah…what happen to her? Is Kenshin there?"

"Well, you see…"

Misao ran down the pavement, heading towards Kenshin's apartment. She knocked instead using the doorbell. Misao banged on the door and continued screaming. It was really disturbing the neighbors so when Kenshin opened the door, he was quite annoyed. Kenshin who was in a bathrobe and a steaming mug of coffee in hand, frowned. "Misao? How can I help you and did you know that you're disturbing the neighbors?" He said it gently with a hint of sarcasm. Misao ignored this and barged into his apartment.

"Where is she?" She said, practically screaming.

"Shh…she's sleeping. You might wake her up…she's really tired."

"Where is she?"

"She's in my bedroom."

Misao gasped and look from head to toe at Kenshin. His hair is wet and he is wearing a bathrobe… "Oh my god! You slept with her!" Now her voice was louder than ever.

"NO! I did not!" Kenshin panicked.

"Yes, you did! Wait till I tell the folks back in Hokkaido. You are so dead Himura!" She started punching numbers on her cell phone. "N-no…! You get it all wrong."

"Kenshin? What's all the commotion?" Kaoru came out form the bedroom, rubbing her eyes. She went to Kenshin's side and wrapped her arms around Kenshin's waist. She even left a small kiss on his lips. Misao gawked at the sight of their intimacy and blushed.

When she finally snapped out of it, she took a deep breath and started pushing Kaoru out of the apartment, including all her luggage. "Mi-misao-chan! Where are we going?"

"To Hokkaido! The gang was worried sick when you didn't call. And not to mention, you're going to miss rooster-head and fox lady's marriage ceremony. It's two days from now!"

"I know…that's why I and Kenshin decided to go back to Hokkaido tomorrow. And you can't expect to drag me all the way to the airport in these clothes! They're my pajamas." Kaoru smiled, jokingly. Misao sighed. "Okay…but make sure you and that man of yours go back to Hokkaido tomorrow!"

"He's not my man!" Kaoru blushed.

"He's not? Then why are you sleeping with him?"

"Sleep with him! Mou! I didn't sleep with him!" Kaoru blushed harder.

"Whatever…" Misao giggled and hugged her dear friend. "…I'm glad that things are cool between you guys. Megumi told me about Kenshin and the letter." Kaoru smiled. "I'm glad too that it's over now."

Kenshin handed Misao a cup of coffee. They discussed about the couple's situation. Now, that their lie is not a lie anymore, maybe it's easier.

"But it doesn't mean that both of you will not face some complications. Remember that we still have Enishi in our problem. He will do anything to make you guys drift apart." Misao sipped her coffee.

"Oh no…" Kenshin gathered the worried Kaoru in his arms.

"I think we should discuss with Aoshi…maybe he will come out with some plans." Kenshin said as he hugged his lover.

"You're right…but I can't help feeling something that is wrong here…" Misao thought.

(Few minutes later…)

"OMIGOSH! I haven't told Aoshi about you guys yet!" screamed Misao. Both people in that room sweat dropped.

"I can't believe you forgot to tell him, Misao-chan!" Kaoru shook her head.

"Ehehehe…I think I ought to call him right now…tee hee…" Misao started punching in numbers on her cell phone.

"Hmm…he turned off his cell. Maybe I go see him…See you guys in Hokkaido in two days! Bye!" And the Misao left, leaving the couple in the apartment once again.

"So…I think we should start packing huh?" Kaoru said looking at Kenshin who sitting beside her.

"Hmm…I don't know…We got plenty of time…" Kenshin moved closer at Kaoru, who started blushing.

"Why don't we have some fun…?" He whispered into her ear seductively. "I…umm…I think…" But Kenshin already gave in without waiting for her answer. He started kissing her passionately. At first they were going on a slow pace but things were started to heat up. There wasn't an awkward moment. Kaoru can't stop moaning against his lips and when his hands were about to reach her pajama top…The door opened and came in Misao.

"Sorry for interrupting you're making out session but I left my bag!" Misao took her bag that was on the coffee table and left just like the wind. The couple gawked at the situation.

"I think I should lock the door. I don't want people barging in when I'm doing my thing you know…" Kenshin grinned at the sight of Kaoru blushing at his remark. Next, Kenshin pushed Kaoru down on the sofa, and he was on top of her.

"Now where were we?"
