Part Two
Early the next morning, Kenshin and Sano were standing on the opposite side of the all girls dorm conversing with one another.
"Well, this is the place," said Kenshin as he looked at the piece of paper in his hand.
"Oh yeah, fantasy island," grinned Sano as he lowered his dark sunglasses and winked at one of the girls passing by. The young girl giggled and ran to catch up with her friend.
"Remember why we are here Sano," chastised Kenshin.
"Right, right, I'm all on it." Sano smiled as he watched Kenshin fidgeting in his disguise.
"I don't know how women walk in these things," complained Kenshin as he tried balancing himself on the four inch high heeled shoes. "My feet are killing me."
"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I want you to know that I think you look real sexy in those high heeled shoes," smirked Sano.
Kenshin glared daggers at Sano.
"Okay, okay," he chuckled moving backwards waving his hands. "Just kidding. You know Kenshin you need to lighten up a little bit. We only have to do this for 72 hours."
"Yes I know that. I just don't understand why you couldn't be the girl," pouted Kenshin.
"Come on Kenshin, you and I both know that you look better in a mini-skirt than I do. You definitely got the legs for it."
"Sano!!"
"Hey buddy calm down," he said while putting his arm around Kenshin's shoulder. "I'm better staying on the outside. I need to stay in contact with all my connections."
"What you really mean is that you've dated half the girls around here and don't want to run into any jilted lovers. That's why you want to stay on the outside."
"Uhm... yeah.... something like that," smiled Sano as he pushed his dark sunglasses up on his nose. "Oh, look at the time," he said while glancing at his watch. "It's show time Kenshin."
"That's Shinta. My undercover name is Shinta."
"Yeah, okay Shinta," he replied while carrying Kenshin's suitcase up the stairs. "Uhm... Kenshin... I was wondering where you came up with a girlie name like Shinta."
"Don't ask," frowned Kenshin.
Sano chuckled as they stood outside of Kaoru's door.
Kaoru opened the door abruptly, startling both Kenshin and Sano.
"Who's making all this noise outside my door," demanded Kaoru as she frowned at the two people in front of her.
"Sorry little missy, but I didn't know we were in a public library. I thought this was a school dorm."
Kenshin poked Sano into the ribs.
"Ouch!"
"Please forgive our noise Miss, I realize that you are probably studying for finals thats scheduled for Monday."
"Yes, I am," stated Kaoru. "Is there something I can do for you two?"
"Yes, my name is Shinta and I am your new roommate."
"My name is Kaoru Kamiya. Please to meet you Shinta. The head mistress told me you were coming. You can set your things up in the room over there."
Shinta-Kenshin nodded and entered past Kaoru to the room she had pointed to.
"Hey, aren't you going to invite me in too jou-chan?"
"THIS... is an all girls boarding school," she stated while extending her arms across the doorframe to prevent him from entering. "Boys are not allowed in our rooms. I don't know what you did to get past Miss Yumi, our head mistress, but I would advise you to leave quickly before she finds out."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going," he said while pulling out a fishbone and sticking it into his mouth.
Kaoru scrunched her face in disgust as she watched Sano gnaw on his fishbone.
"I'll catch you later Shinta."
Shinta-Kenshin just nodded at Sano. Sano glanced down at Kaoru and winked at her as he leaned against the doorpost. "I'll being see you around too jou-chan."
Kaoru slammed the door in front of Sano's face. "Ugh! He's so disgusting!"
Shinta-Kenshin smiled as he continued to unpack his clothes.
Sano stood outside the door grumbling inwardly. "That little tomboy is really asking for it. But I'll leave her to Kenshin. It's time for me to do a little snooping around and maybe get a date for Saturday night while I'm at it (heh, heh)." Sano quitely left the area.
Back inside the room, Shinta-Kenshin had finally unpacked everything and had them layed out across the bed.
"Shinta, who was that jerk you were with," asked Kaoru as she entered Shinta-Kenshin's room bringing several clothes hangers for him to use.
"Oh Sano? He's a good friend," smiled Shinta-Kenshin. "He's really not that bad of a guy once you get to know him."
"Well I have no intentions on getting to know a big dumb jerk like that. I know his type, loud and obnoxious. He probably gambles and drinks too."
"You really seem to know a lot about people," smiled Shinta-Kenshin as he took all the clothes and hung them in the closet.
"Yes, I learned it from my father," answered Kaoru as she walked over to her father's picture hanging on the wall. "He was a real good judge of character."
Shinta-Kenshin sighed inwardly, "Yes... he was."
"I should take his picture out of here. This use to be my room, but I decided to switch rooms once the new semester started."
"No, don't move his picture on my account. I would be honored if you left his picture in here."
Kaoru raised an eyebrow at Shinta-Kenshin. "Well... alright, I'll leave it."
"Hmmm.... it's odd that she considers it an honor to have my father's picture in her room." "Kaoru! Don't be so paranoid," scolded her conscience. "You should view it as an honor that someone else respects your father as much as you do. You had better stop acting so paranoid or you'll lose another roommate." "...I hate when my conscience is right," sighed Kaoru.
"Oh! Where are my manners? I should give you a quick tour of the place. Follow me."
Shinta-Kenshin nodded as he followed Kaoru out of the room.
"Okay, the bathroom is over there. We'll need to have a bathroom schedule. Are you an early riser?"
"Yes I am."
"Good, because I usually like to sleep until the last minute before my classes start."
Shinta-Kenshin smiled as he watched Kaoru. "She's so sweet and innocent. I hope she always stay that way."
"...and over there is a little hot plate and mini-fridge. Sometimes I like to have a late night snack. Hmm.... what else should you know?"
"I think that's good enough. If I need anything else I'm sure I can find it myself. You should get back to your studies now Kaoru-dono. I've interfered long enough."
"It's no bother and please, call me Kaoru. The teachers expect us to be formal with one another during school hours, but in the off-hours we're all pretty much informal with one another."
"All right... Kaoru," smiled Shinta-Kenshin.
As Kaoru plopped on the couch to study, she noticed Shinta-Kenshin walking over to the window.
"Are you spying out the area?"
Shinta-Kenshin froze momentarily.
"What.... what do you mean by that?"
"Are you trying to find the quickest way to all your classes?"
Shinta-Kenshin breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. "Yes, I like to sleep late too sometimes."
"Oh please don't say that, I was hoping you could be my personal alarm clock and wake me up in the mornings," giggled Kaoru.
"I would love to wake you up in the mornings," smiled Shinta-Kenshin. "Hey! Idiot! remember why you are here," shouted his conscience. "Yes, I remember," sighed Kenshin.
Kaoru was now standing next to Shinta-Kenshin at the window.
"Over there is the quickest way to the foreign language classes, such as Spanish or French. And on your right is the shortest route to Geometry and Biology classes."
As Kaoru moved closer to explain how to get to more classes, a slight breeze through the window caused Shinta-Kenshin to breathe in Kaoru's sweet smelling perfume.
"This assignment is going to be harder than I thought. I've known a lot of beautiful women during my days as a spy. But none of them compare to the rare innocent beauty standing next to me. Kaoru smells like the fragrant bathwaters found in the Taj Mahal. Her skin is smooth like the finest silks in Japan. Her hair flows in the breeze like the Nile River on a hot summers day. Her eyes sparkle when she speaks, like the blue sapphires found in the finest Museums of the world. I know I don't deserve to think of my beloved sensei's daughter in such a way, but I can't help myself."
"...and I think that's about it," smiled Kaoru. "All that talking made me thirsty. Would you care for some tea?"
"Yes, allow me to get it," offered Shinta-Kenshin as he quickly went to the mini-fridge and pulled out the tea.
"You know, I really should be the one doing that, you've only been here a couple of hours."
"I don't mind," said Shinta-Kenshin as she brought in the tea tray. "I like serving people."
As Kaoru and Shinta-Kenshin sipped their tea, Shinta-Kenshin felt the presence of someone."
"It's a little cool in here," he said while casually strolling over to the window. "I think I'll go close the windo...."
Shinta-Kenshin quickly grabbed the person lurking on the outside of Kaoru's windowsill and slammed the person to the floor.
"Hey!! Get off me," shouted a young girl wearing a long braid struggling on the floor.
"Oh my god! It's Misao! Shinta, that's my friend Misao. Get off her!"
"I'm so sorry Miss," said Shinta-Kenshin as he released Misao out of a choke hold. "Do you always sneak through the window like that?"
"Well... yes," Misao stated in a matter-of-fact way. She rose slowly from off the floor and straighten out her clothes.
"Misao how many times have I told you to use the door. I knew one day you would get in trouble from coming through my window."
"Sorry if I startled you, my name is Misao. Who are you?"
"I'm Shinta, Kaoru's new roommate."
"I see. I wished I had a bodyguard for a roommate," she said while narrowing her eyes at Shinta.
"Now, now, I'm not a bodyguard," smiled Shinta-Kenshin. "A girl can never be too careful now a days."
"Yes, Shinta is right. Just last week, I thought I felt someone following me."
"Kaoru-chan, you are too paranoid," said Misao as she went over to grab some snacks.
Shinta-Kenshin made a mental note. "I must have Sano investigate who shadowed Kaoru last week."
"So listen Kaoru-chan, I found this store that has the sexiest lingerie. Just look at this really cool bra."
Misao pulled the bra out of her bag and dangled it in front of Kaoru and Shinta-Kenshin. "Nice huh?"
Shinta-Kenshin cheeks flushed slightly. "Uhm... I think I'll take a shower. I need to freshen up after my long trip."
"Sure," said Kaoru. "You'll find clean towels on the top shelf in the hallway closet."
Shinta-Kenshin nodded and quickly exited the room. After getting the towels, Shinta-Kenshin went inside the bathroom and turned on the shower.
"Sano, Sano are you there," he whispered in his spywatch. "Sano!"
"Hold on a minute baby, I got to get this, it's spy busines you know."
The girl in the car with Sano giggled.
"Yeah Ken... I mean Shinta, what is it? I'm kinda of busy uhm... gathering information," he said while drawing the young girl close to him.
Shinta-Kenshin could hear the faint sound of a girl giggling in the background.
"I don't want to know what you are doing with that girl in our car, but you had better be keeping an eye out for any suspicious looking characters that may be in the area."
"Hey, I'm all on it," he said while squeezing the girl's shoulders closer to him. "So what did you find out about jou-chan?"
"Just that someone was shadowing her last week. I want you to look into that."
"Right. What's happening now?"
Shinta-Kenshin cleared his throat, "Well... uhm... Kaoru-dono and her friend Misao-dono are looking at ladies lingerie."
"Is it the lacey see through kind?"
"Sano!"
"What are you getting all defensive for? It could be evidence you know. You should bring it back to the office so we can check it out."
Before Shinta-Kenshin could reply, he heard the doorknob to the bathroom twisting open. He cut his communications with Sano and quickly jumped into the shower.
"Shinta, I forgot to tell you I'm out of...." Kaoru stood with her mouth opened as she looked at the sight before her.
"Eeeeeek!! Kaoru you pervert!!!" yelled Shinta-Kenshin from behind the shower curtain. Kaoru cheeks flushed as she ran out of the bathroom closing the door behind her.
"I'm sorry Shinta, I didn't know you were still...." Kaoru paused for a moment reflecting on what she saw and then decided to re-entered the bathroom.
"I know this isn't any of my business, but do you always take a shower with ALL of your clothes on?"
Shinta-Kenshin was standing in the shower fully clothed allowing the water to run all over him.
"Well, I....," "think Himura think...." I like to wash my clothes and take a shower at the same time. It saves water. You know we must conserve water."
Misao walked over next to Kaoru and began staring at Shinta-Kenshin in the shower.
"She's almost as weird as you," whispered Misao.
"I'm not that weird," Kaoru whispered back as she closed the bathroom door behind her.
Shinta-Kenshin sighed inwardly. "That was a close call. I have to remember to lock the door next time or I'll blow my cover."
As Sano sat in the car "gathering information", a dark figure stared up at the room that Kaoru was in.
"So, they hired a two-bit private eye to watch over the girl huh? It's no matter. I will get Kamiya Kaoru and no one will stop me. Muhawhawha!!"
