Chapter Four:

-Last time-

"So what is your favorite color? Kaoru?" Kaoru shivered a bit. The way he said her name, it sounded like…he wanted .. something and it gave her the shrills.

"It's blue. How about you Himura-san?" he made a 'tsk tsk' sound.

"Now, now. That isn't fair. I called you by your first name so you should be calling me by my first name too." He said looking in to her eyes. Kaoru felt like time had stopped just staring in to his eyes, she felt like melting. She did not notice that Kenshin had moved closer to her until she felt his hot breath. Kaoru's eyes widen and she snapped out.

"Kaoru.."

-kenshin's pov.-

Our lips had almost touched but we both moved away from each other when we heard the door opening and in came a tall guy with a coat on. Once he closed the door he looked our way and soon tension filled the air. I personally did not like the way he was staring at me. It looks like he wanted to kill me. Heh..so this must be her brother. Aoshi. He took a step forward. I looked over at Kaoru who was now laughing nervously. She stood up.

"Aoshi! You're home early!" He looked at me with cold eyes. I frowned looking at him with cold eyes also.

"Who is he? Kaoru?" Aoshi asked.

"Ano..this is my friend from school. Our teacher assigned us to do a project. We had to know each other and then write down."

"I have not seen him hang around you and your group before."

"Um he is a new student and you know how first day for a new student is. It's hard to make friends!" Aoshi, who said nothing, kept on looking at us before he went up the stairs. Kaoru sighed in relief and sat back down.

"I see why you didn't want me too meet him. He's not a friendly person."

"Not only that but especially to the guys. As Misao has said before. He's really protective of me. Because when we were little our father…he drank a lot and he abused us especially me." I frowned this was certainly not going to be a good story. ", One day he was really drunk and I tried to calm him down and take the bottle of beer away from him but he got mad. That day I was alone and when he became mad he tried to kill me. Luckily Enishi wanted to visit me and when he got there he made it in time before my father got the chance to kill me. I was knocked out and receive a gash on my stomach but it was nothing to serious. I just stayed in the hospital for a couple of days."

"Don't tell me you're still living with him!" I said angrily.

" No. We're not. My mother divorced him after that and we moved here. Ever since then they have all been protective of me." Kaoru smiled sadly but she shook her head and gave a true smile. I looked at her seriously.

"That wound of your stomach. Did it leave a scar?" she nodded. She lifted her blouse and stopped just below her breast. There the scar was marked diagonally. It was a long scar. I gritted my teeth. I wanted to find the bastard and tear him apart for doing this to her. We both noticed another presence and looked up to find Aoshi. Kaoru quickly put her blouse down and blushed. Her eyes widen. I found myself being pushed to the wall. Aoshi had pushed me with his hand on my neck.

"What the hell were you trying to do?" he asked keeping his eyes on me. Kaoru got up.

"Aoshi! No! I just showed him my scar! He didn't do anything! Now stop hurting him!" Kaoru cried. Aoshi obeyed and turned around to leave.

"If you try to hurt Kaoru I will kill you." with that Aoshi left. Misao ran downstairs and went to the kitchen as her brother passed her. She saw me sitting down on the floor rubbing my neck while Kaoru kneeled down beside me checking if I was okay.

"Himura-san..I-I'm sorry. I should have known better." Kenshin got up.

"No. It's okay. I see why now you don't want me to meet him. But that's not going to stop me from seeing you." I gave a small grin. A little later on we continued our questions and then wrote them on the paper. She gave one last apology before I left their house. As I got home I waited for the gates to open and parked inside. Yes my uncle is rich. Not only was he a good business man but he is one of the famous people for getting second place on a swordsmanship contest.

"Good evening Himura-san." our maid greeted as I got in the house. I smiled.

"Good evening Machi. Is my uncle home yet?"

"Yes. He's eating his supper in the dinning room. Your supper is also ready." I nodded and set my bag down to the chair next to me and went to the dinning room. I found my uncle eating while reading some stuff. He looked up.

"Ah. baka-deshi. It's unusual for you to come home after me." I sat down at the table and picked up my chopsticks.

"I had a project to do with a friend." He looked up and grinned.

"Really now? Was it a girl? Heh. So girls in this school can't keep their hands off you too huh?"

"Ano..excuse me but there is a phone call for you sir." Machi said giving the phone to him. He answered the phone and I kept on eating. Soon his expression changed and he gave a friendly hello to whoever was on the other line. But he has been receiving phone calls and I'm starting to wonder who the person is. I finished my meal and waited until he was done talking to the person. A grin appeared on his face, he was now thinking. I asked him who it was but he didn't answer. He was really deep in thought and kept on chuckling. So I decided to call him by his first name.

"Hiko!" he snapped out and glared at me.

"What!"

"Geez..i said who was that person on the other line. You have been receiving calls lately." He grinned at me.

"A friend of mine. We haven't seen each other in a while so we're gonna go to her house this week."

"Who's we?"

"You and me. who else?" I sighed.

"Are you trying to hook me up again? I told you before I'm not interested..besides I found someone interesting at school. She's pretty."

"Heh. Really now? That's not something you hear everyday. You should invite her over some time for dinner."

"Why?"

" Baka. I want to meet her also."

"I'll see what I can do." I got up and excused myself and went upstairs to do some of his homework and then he went to sleep.

-the next day-

I woke up as my alarm clock went off, took a quick shower, changed in to the uniform and went downstairs to eat. Some of the maids greeted me and I greeted them back. As I went down stairs I took a quick bite of some toast with peanut butter, a sip of orange juice and stuffed my lunch in my bag then I left. Once again I found Kaoru and her sister walking and offered them a ride. Strangely I did not see Enishi when I was with Kaoru. Yeah that was kind of random but oh well..hehe..anyways as the bell rang we went our separate ways As P.E. came I changed and went to line up. After the coach gave us a few laps to run we played tennis. We decided that we would make competition and I made it to the very last opponent. As usual girls noticed and cheered me on and started talking crap. On this match I was a bit serious, I had a good opponent. But in the end I won by just one point. I was going to freshen up but then I saw Kaoru playing tennis also and went to see who she was playing. Kaoru hit the ball hard causing the other player by surprise and end up missing the ball. Some of the people who were also watching clapped. I grinned when they had stopped playing and Kaoru went my way. She grabbed a towel and wiped her forehead.

"Hey." I said.

"Hi Himura-san!" I frowned a bit.

"For the last time. Please call me Kenshin."

"Um..okay.." she put her racket down.

"You're good at tennis." The two started to walk to the lockers.

" Hmm not really. I've learned it four months ago and I'm still learning so ya.."

"I see. Well see you next class." She nodded and went inside. I changed and left for the next class. This was going to be a boring period. The teacher talked in one tone and it was really annoying. I looked around as some of the other students passed notes while the teacher wrote on the bored and I just looked out the window. Geez this was boring. I guess its time for a nap! Soon I found my self falling asleep but what felt like a short time I was awakened up by the teacher.

"It's nice of you joining us sir!" a few of the class giggled. ", would you be so kind to awaken sleeping beauty?" he said pointing to Kaoru who was also asleep. I grinned. ", This will be a warning to both of you." he then proceeded with class. I poked Kaoru's head but she didn't budge so I poked her again. Still the same thing and so I kept on poking her and poking her, sadly I did not hear her to stop poking her and I received a scream.

"I'm awake already! Geez I told you to stop poking me!" she screamed. The teacher and the students plus I stared at Kaoru with a bit of shock. She realized what she did and sunk down in her chair and blushed madly.

"Did I not tell you to watch yourselves?" the teacher said kind of annoyed. ", Both of you will be in detention this afternoon."

"Whaat!" we said at the same time.

"If you keep on complaining I will give you two days of detention." We both closed our mouths. Kaoru glared at me and mouthed 'I'm going to kill you!' I sweat dropped and moved my desk a bit. As the bell rang I left the class but was hit on the head. I groaned and looked back to find an angry Kaoru.

"Ah..haha..Hi! Eheheh.."

"Don't 'Ehheh!' me! I have never been in detention before! You baka! I told you to stop poking me!"

"Hey everyone has there first. Besides detention isn't that bad. All you do is sit down on the desk and do nothing. Ahahaha." I had stopped laughing when Enishi had appeared out of nowhere also Sano followed Enishi.

"Hi Enishi." Kaoru said angrily as he gave her a peck on the cheek.

" Why you mad?" Sano asked.

"Because Himura over here got me to detention!" I held my hands in defense.

"Hey hey. Its not my fault you were sleeping and the teacher asked me to wake you up."

"Ya! And you kept on poking me on the head when I told you I was awake already!"

"I didn't hear you! besides you didn't get up so I thought you were still sleeping."

"Gaa!" Enishi and Sano laughed a bit. Kaoru looked at him mortified. "Don't laugh! Your suppose to be siding with me! Sano, you just shut up! Maan! Who am I going to ride with after school?"

"I'll take ya home Jou-chan." Sano said. Kaoru raised her eyebrows.

"I thought you had your license taken away?"

"Oh that. Ya it was taken away but by my parents. I got it back today! Haha!"

"Ahaha..sorry for you're loss. But it's really nothing to worry about. Its only detention." Enishi said.

"Whaa? Only detention!" Kaoru fumed off walking to the cafeteria.

"Ahh hey wait! Kaoru I really didn't mean to laugh at you!" Enishi went after her. I sighed. This was going to be a long day.

-in detention-

" Okay you two. I want you to clean the bored then after your done sit down. I have to run some errands so behave yourselves." As the teacher left we both got to work. I glanced at her as she erased the bored quietly.

"Are you still mad at me?" she then erased the board faster. Yup she was. Both of our erasers went to the middle of the board and hit each other accidentally marking her of some of the dust on her hand.

"Hey!" she marked me back.

"What did you do that for? I didn't mean to do that!" I hit her back and this time on her arm. We began to hit each other as the dust got into our cloths and to our faces. This did not help at all and we were going to get in trouble but I ignored that part of my mind cause this girl over here wont stop hitting me!

"Hey guuuys!" we both stopped and looked at the door and found Sano peeking through the door. ", is the teacher here?" Kaoru shook her head.

"Oh good! just stopping by to say hi! Heh..what were you two doing? So anyhow, Jou-chan how long are you staying here? Cause I'm getting hungry." Kaoru rolled her eyes and set the eraser down. She went to her bag and got out some food. It was a sandwich and orange juice.

"Thanks buddy! You're the bestest friend ever!" Kaoru sighed.

"You know Sano. I don't think you would survive without me. Plus you need to leave I don't want you getting in trouble." Sano put an arm around her pulling her closer. He looked at me. From what I noticed those two are close. She's always bringing extra food for him and she does not complain. If I did not know that Kaoru had a boyfriend I would be thinking that these two have some relationship with each other.

"Man Kenshin. This girl here is a life saver!"

"Sano you're squishing me!" he apologized and let go of her.

"Well! Have fun erasing the board! See ya guys later!" Kaoru shook her head and went back to the board. I looked at her.

"So you guys are best friends huh," she nodded. ",how close are you guys?"

"Pretty close. Sano is practically, well except for Enishi, the person I go to talk too if I'm troubled cause he listens. Usually you'd think it would be a girl who'd do that. But Sano is different. He makes me laugh all the time when ever I go hang out at his house. Man there is so many things to say about Sano so to make a long story short let's just say Sano is a good person to befriend!" Kaoru smiled.

"I see. That's why you always have extra food. It's for him." Kaoru blushed.

"Um…ya I know he forgets go bring lunch and sometimes he's just too lazy to bring'em so I bring extra." Kaoru set the eraser down and went to a desk to sit in.

"Geez are we the only two that has gotten in to detention?"

"Looks like for today, yes. Some of the people ditch." I said sitting next to her. Looks like what she had said about Sano was right. He does make her happy easily. Just his presence makes her happy. Heh..i feel kind of jealous….She has a boyfriend but she has a good relationship with another guy without making him taking the wrong idea.

"Hello! Hey are you in there?" Kaoru waved her hand at me. I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Sorry."

"Are you okay Kenshin? It's not normal of you spacing out." I grinned forgetting about my recent thoughts.

"What?" you asked.

"Nothing. You finally said my first name. Finally getting friendly with me huh?" Kaoru blushed. She is defiantly different from other girls. After detention was over Sano was waiting outside in his car. We said our goodbyes and she went in Sano's car and started to talk while he put his car to drive. I looked at Kaoru, I did not want to hurt Enishi's feelings. He was a nice guy but she was just another who I had interest in, just another fling. I will soon get over her and nothing more would happen…right?

A/N: hehe! plz R&R! XD
