Recap of last ch.- Everyone was ready for the get-together at the restaurant, Tomoe has evil plans.
Around the corner heel's were heard click-clacking in the corridor. Kenshin and the guys sat in their own table, as they awaited their beloveds. But instead of their girls, they were just waitresses, they wore very-alluring outfits. Sano thought they were too skanky to be waitresses, but then he thought about the ones in hooters, and shrugged it off. There they walked in, all of them wearing matching outfits, a light scarlet corset-like top, with black lace stringing them tight, ascentuating their curves tightly, and if one were to look on down, there; snugged around their slim was a brazilian low-cut black jeans which seemed to cling around the ass-area, where male-attention usually already went to. ((yep this is like describing sum girls in my school...coughs whores muffles cough)) Kenshin seemed to have his eyes' drawn to one with long ebony black hair, who seemed quite familiar, but he blinked it off. Moving their hips in a snake-like fashion, they made their ways to the kitchen where the door closed behind them.
-Behind Kitchen Doors-
"Did you see how that red-haired papi looked at me?" Tomoe said with a smirk of satisfaction. Yuki looked to her saying between gasps, "yea, gasp and this gasp top is depriving gasp me of air!" She started to blanch a bit. Kagome shook her head in shame, as she walked over to her, and loosened the strings a little. "There.." A large sigh was heaved from Yuki, as a giant gasp from Tomoe was inhaled. She was peering through the little kitchen-door window as she saw the kenshingumi girls arrive.
The scents of the girl's arrival seemed to intoxicate the boys. The guy's sat there in awe at their girl's presence, Kaoru bit her lip shyly as Kenshin's eyes were plastered on her. Kaoru, Misao, Megumi, and Jas all walked towards their partner, who were mesmorized by them, seeming as if they were in a trance, they automatically raised to their feet, and took their hand. The lights were at a romantically dim shade, and Kaoru whispered some words of love featherly into Kenshin's ear, making him get dizzy with romance all over again. Aoshi and Misao were doing quite nicely as well. All of them were seated as they waited for the waiters/waitresses to come.
Tomoe's hand balled up into a fist as she saw how close Kaoru and Kenshin were already, she turned to her helpers in fury, as they beckoned in fear. "I can't believe this!" Through Yuki and Kagomes' eyes, they saw a green monster, and they even pictured some claws and fangs. They shivered as they remotely nodded a yes. Seeming to switch from demon to goddess Tomoe had a smile glued on her face. "Lovely." she uttered as her last word before sketching out the plan.
Back to the love-birds, four round candle-light tables had a pair of lovers in each. There were a lot more people in the restaurant, passing by and such. Yusuke decided he would give Jas the gift he picked out for her today..or tonight..he would wait to see what the night would bring. ((NOT LIKE THAT U PERVERTED MONKEYS!)) Tomoe and the others had the planned mapped out now, and put it to action! First one to bust out of the kitchen was Kagome, her brown hair wore in a french braid, ((as I said NOT Kagome from IY)) her hair sheer and glossy, one wouldn't think her to be a hoe, because her face wore an innocent look.
Walking to Sano's table first, she smiled. "Are you all ready for your order?" she asked in a sweet school girl voice. Megumi wanted to hold Sano on a leash, knowing how he needed still a bit of training. Kagome smirked inwardly of this, she looked 'fox' in the eyes as they twinkled innocence, over her boiling evil. Megumi stared back and cuddled next to Sano purposely, as she herself was possessive, and after all they've been through she wasn't going to let a little waitress break them down. Sano spoke: "How about a plate of ribs, the combo of shrimps, hot wings, sweet plantains, Churrasco, asado, and a parrillada!" Kagomes' hand was falling off, and she couldn't spell half of the things. He then looked to Megumi who was starry-eyed at all the food he had ordered, after blinking a few times she managed to spit out "Umm.. a tomatoe salad with Milanesas." Kagome nodded, and went on her way.
Out with Kagome and in with Yuki who went to wait on Yusuke and Jas. Jas wondered why they let the waitresses dress so skanky..if it was a decent restaurant. She shrugged dismissing the thought and sat up waiting for Yusuke. They soon ordered, and she was on her way. Everything was going good, according to the plan of Tomoe. Kenshin and Kaoru were talking quietly, Kenshin couldn't help but think of the girl he saw, so familiar, those amaretta colored eyes...he couldn't forget them..he saw himself staring straight at them, he whispered the woman he thought she was..."Tomoe.."
"TOMOE?" A shocked Kaoru leaned away from Kenshin, with a perplexed impression. Kenshin blinked a few times at the outbreak and looked upon his Kaoru, had Tomoe cast a spell back on him? The blue-eyed goddess was on the verge of tears, "are you seeing another woman?" Kenshin gaped, "...No no Kaoru..I love you.."
"Then who is this Tomoe?" The girl of the conversation was smirking in the kitchen, and she put another step to her plan, turning on the radio of the restaurant, a song reflecting the moment turned on and flowed throughout the place. It was Utada Hikaru's Blow My Whistle.. ((cool song..listenin to it now feb 20, 05 12:15-evening)) Kaoru stopped and heard her favorite singer, stirred in tears she listened to the words.
Scared to show or tell
Keep what you just felt
The secrets to yourself
I'm gettin' tired of mysteries, even though I say they do not
The games you play hurt me a lot (a lot)
When there's none to play, will you go or stay?
My instincts says I ought to disagree
When my mother says men will leave eventually (is it true?)
Nothing lasts forever, I agree
But I wouldn't mind the possibility (Oh)
Kenshin knew what she was thinking.."Kaoru.." She looked at him her celestial eyes glazed with crystalline tears, "What! I can't believe this.." Her hand went to her necklace that he had given her, she stared hard into his eyes, and found he loved her, but there was an empty spot. "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.." She got up without looking at him again, and he sighed heavily with sadness. Sano and the others looked to her, seeing her pink from crying, they wondered what was happening.
Tomoe grinned cynically, "that's good little Kaoru, go cry your heart out, this won't be the last time though." She let her dark ebony hair down, passing a hand through it she looked at her target: Himura Kenshin. It was her part of the play, she waited for the restaurant to fill with others, and that's when she decided to make her entrance, allowing Kenshins' violet orbs to take a glimpse at her, she past by him swiftly, her scent of lily-plum kissing him softly. Kenshins' eye flew open at the familiar scent, but when opened his eyes he just saw a blur of people. He sighed and wondered to himself.."Why am I thinking of her now?"
Moments later, Kaoru had come back out, and apologized that she had been over-reacting. Kenshin felt a heavy weight lift off his shoulders, as he forced a smile. Since Tomoe and the gang didn't even work there, they much less did not know how to cook them. Yuki got some steak and heated it up, some crab meat, and fish eye, then putting some tomatoes on the side. "Wheres the dressing?" "How am i supposed to know?" Kagome replied. Yuki shrugged her shoulders and simply poured some relish on it. ((yuccccck) She cringed and then shrugged, "oh well, it's not me eatin' it!" She walked to the door, and enee-meeny-miney-mo'd on who to give it to. It had landed on Jas and Yusuke, she walked up to them, trying to hide the grin on her face. "Pleasenjoy." she said quickly turning and heading back to the kitchen.
Jas and Yusuke had been chatting before, and now layed eyes on their "meal." Jas' eyes nearly bugged out of their sockets! "What the..." Yusuke patted her hand.."baby..this is a new country, don't judge it by the look.." Jas sank in her seat, and hoped to god it tasted good. Picking up her fork she moved it to the 'food' and brought it to her mouth lently, as it was about to enter Yusuke let out a bawl. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" Jas looked to him, and nearly fainted, then threw back at him "Baby..remember what you told me?" Yusuke failed to admit she was right, but still twitched until he tried it.
Jas and Yusuke felt sick, "What is this crap?" Yusuke asked whispering softly. "I don't no..but theres a half of a fish eye here...definately not healthy. Jas shoved the plate away from her, the candle tipping over and falling on the tablecloth, catching a fire. All eyes in the restaurant directed to them, as well as the attention. Sure Yusuke liked attention, but not that type. Tomoe grinned slyly, "This couldn't get better..and to think..I didn't even plan for THAT to happen! Yes..things are looking good.." As a Yusuke tried dousing the small flame with his drink, Kagome served her own 'delight' to Sano and Megumi.
Kagome drowned the chicken wings with hot mexican sauce, and other spices. Soon enough she delivered a silver ((na not real..silver-plated lol)) covered plate was rested on the table. Raising the top, the meal was revealed. Sano, complaining that he was hungry enough to eat a cow, quickly dug in, only to end up turning green, and believe me...not of envy. Megumi shook her head 'that's what you get for eating too fast.' She mannerly slid a piece of food into her mouth, and her eyes nearly watered, her mouth felt like it was of fire, along with the need to vomit. She desperately needed something to drink, and Kagome spitfully handed her a coke, the fizz making the burning worse.
The night was turning out to be a disaster, just as it was intended to be..at least to Tomoe. Misao and Aoshi, as well as Kaoru and Kenshin wanted to pretend they did not know the others, who were getting on with swearing and such, but they would soon have their own experience to it. Tomoe draped her hair over her face a bit, and gave the crimson-head and blue-eyes their dinner, before turning around she stared Kenshin in the eye for a good two seconds, and smiled brushing past him. Kaoru had taken note of all of this, and growled ready to fight this woman, but instead she turned to her meal, which looked the sanist from the rest of them.
Kenshin began to dig in, it tasted pleasantly wonderful to him, considering his was a normal meal, but Kaoru's on the other hand...will take tonight, to take effect. Misao looked at the stuff brought to her and wondered if it was edible. Aoshi poked his mashed potatoes with his spoon, which seemed to wiggle uncontrollably like jello, he raised an eyebrow wondering to eat it. Misao took a piece of her churrasco, and found it to be cold, she dropped it, the result, it bounced down to the floor. She sweatdropped, and sighed seeing Aoshi's face, 'embarrassed.'
Everything didn't seem to go well, and one thing was on Kenshins' mind, and it wasn't Kaoru. Tomoe poked her friends and let them follow her to the exit, where they entered their suites. Everyone had left, except for the kenshingumi, the other guests eyeing them, looking at them as if they were from another planet. Jas got up from her table, what used to be the tablecloth, now the size of a tissue. Sano rubbed to back of his head in embarrassment, as so did Aoshi. Misao grabbed Kaoru's hand and dragged her to the bathroom, Jas doing the same to Megumi. Now all the girls in the bathroom, they spoke freely.
"This is such a shame!" Misao cried in an outburst. "I'm never going to look at another candle again.." Jas said, looking to the floor. "You're not gonna believe this, but I think I'm going to have to keep Kenshin on a L.E.A.S.H. Gasps were heard, "why?" 'I have my reasons.' "Oh, um well..then lets go out ok..wait...where's Megumi?" Her red heels were seen in a stall, and groans of pain filled the room, Misao, Kaoru, and Jas sweatdropped and walked out.
Meeting back with the boys, they were outside of the restaurant, Megumi shortly joining. "Baby, I'm so sorry for.." Yusuke began to say, as Jas hushed him. "Theres nothing to be sorry about.." She kissed him on the cheek lightly, he decided he was ready to give the present he had had for her now, but he wasn't sure, he didn't even know what was inside. "Jas..I've been meaning to give you this.." She straightened up and looked up at him, "what is it?" she asked. "Something for you.." was all he could truthfully say, since he really had no frank clue 'what' it was! Carefully she ripped the paper, and revealed a velvet scarlet box, inside was not a material possession, but a neatly folded piece of scented paper. It read:
'Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
Soo they sprinkled moondust in your hair
and golden starlight in your eyes so true
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you'
Yusuke was just as suprised as her, and he found her in his arms, and all he managed to say was.."I love you.." The night didn't seem so bad for these two, in fact it seemed to begin a new start. He led her to his room, to show her the white doves he had, the old woman give him to her. She smiled and they both held one and let them fly out the window, two white feathers left for them to keep.
Kenshin had long forgotten about Tomoe now, and he whispered loving things in Kaoru's ear, a sweet blush coloring her cheeks. Her arms rested on his firm shoulders, as the two lovers looked in each others eyes, violet meeting aqua, like the first time they met.
-FlashbackKaoru-
She had accidentally bumped into someone! "Oh, I'm so sorry, she said. Then the person turned around, it seemed to be a masculine, sexy looking young man with flaming red hair, her age. Uh. Uh.. hehehe.was all she could say and she blushed furiously!"
-Kenshins Flashback-
He had bumped into a lovely girl, Kaoru was the name, her name delicious to his lips. Kenshin had reached to his mansion only to be thinking of Kaoru! He promised himself he would have her.
-End of F.B-
They found themselves seeing back then in eachothers' eyes, Kenshin leaned closer to her, his lips meeting hers, pushing her gently on the wall, he pushed his body on her softly, and they heard the song 'Grind on Me' Kaoru managed to slip a smile through the kiss, as she felt Kenshins' sexy hands on her waist, grinding on her. Things were starting to look up for them for the night.
