A/N: Thank you for the reviews. I hoped to get this up last weekend but I was unable to do so because of homework. Curse those teachers. Anyways, I hope you aren't very angry. Please forgive me. Please enjoy chapter 10.

Chapter 10 The Second Kiss

Kaoru and Kenshin had finished dinner. It was a very nice meal they had, just talking and gazing into each other's eyes very now and then. (A/N: I feel so mushy :D) They now walking to Kaoru's house enjoying the night air, just the two of them.

Kaoru looked up at the sky and saw how beautiful the sky looked with the many stars twinkling, "It sure is beautiful, the sky."

"Yes, it is beautiful" Kenshin said but he wasn't looking at the sky but at Kaoru. (A/N: Again I feel mushy :D)

Kaoru looked at him and looked down at her feet while pulling a strand of hair behind her ear "Kenshin?"

Kenshin looked at her and smiled "Yes Kaoru?"

"Kenshin, are you worried that something will happen if people know we are seeing each other?"

"Sort of, but I'm not worried about it."

"But you could go to jail and I will never see you again" Kaoru said with worry in her voice.

"Kaoru it won't come to that, but maybe we should keep our relationship, how do you teenagers say this, on the down low" he said with a smile.

Kaoru giggled, "Yes, I agree, but I'm going to miss not being held in your arms."

Kenshin put an arm around her shoulder "Me too, but we can always have private meetings when no ones around."

Kaoru leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled, "Yeah, that would be nice."

They continued to walk until they were a house away from Kaoru's home.

"I should drop you off here, what time do you have to be in?"

"By ten."

Kenshin looked at his watch, "It's 9:00 so, you're an hour early."

"Yeah, but I should go in now anyways. I'm going to give you my cell phone number so you can call me" she said while taking out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket and wrote the number done and then handed it to Kenshin.

Kenshin took it and put it in his pocket "Great. I'll call you soon."

Kaoru nodded.

They stared at each other for a moment and then they both leaned in until their lips touched each other's and their arms went around each other. It was a passionate kiss shared between them. Kaoru felt herself get warm from his embrace and happy when he kissed her. Kenshin felt the same; it had been a long time since he kissed someone this passionate. They didn't know how long the kissed lasted but by the time they were finished their lips were a bit swallow and they were still in a kissing embrace, gasping for air and with smiles on their faces.

"Well. . .um. . .bye Kaoru" he said letting go of her.

"Yeah. . .bye" she said dazed.

They both turned around and headed in the opposite direction. Still in a daze from their passionate kiss.

Kaoru began to walk home and felt like she was on cloud nine. She was so happy to be with Kenshin. He made her feel special and beautiful. She hadn't felt this happy since before her break up with Enishi. It felt good to Kaoru to go out with a man as wonderful as Kenshin.

Meanwhile Kenshin felt like he too was on cloud nine. He really liked Kaoru despite the fact that they were eleven years apart and she was his student and he her teacher. He felt happy when he was with Kaoru, which was something he hadn't felt in almost eight years since Tome's passing. He hopes it will work out between them.

I hope you all enjoyed chapter 10. Chapter 11 will be here in two weeks. Sorry it's so short. I tried to get it up Wednesday and yesterday but the log in was disabled and every time I tried to go back to logging in it would always be disabled, sorry. Thanks for reading and please review.
