Note: Hey guys, I've returned, although most of you have left but I understand. ; Has been…a huge hiatus for me and the fic, but I have a sequel down, so I'll get this one finished and post regularly. I'LL TRY I'm sorry this is a short one, but the next will be nice and long…I have quite a few plots. Continue reviewing, and such. Thanks.

The evening soon sizzled into night; the yawning monster attacked everyone, as they soon fell asleep. Kenshin and Kaoru were on a long red Lazyboy sofa, Kaoru's head on Kenshins' chest, which rose and fell each breath, their legs snuggled next to each other. Misao was sleeping on her side in front of her Aoshi, as he slept behind her their bodies touching slightly, and his arm was resting sleepily on her waist, and his chin nuzzled in her neck, Sano was sprawled on the floor, with Megumi's head laying on his rock hard abs, and Yusuke lay with Jas in his arms, his breath tickling her neck each exhale. It was officially the last day in Argentina; they had an hour to catch the plane. Several minutes later Kenshin's alarm sounded loudly, Linkin Park's Crawling ringing in everyone's' ears.

Jas' head shot up as the song played loudly, and Yusuke slid off the couch with a thud. She looked down at him as she opened his eyes from the fall; she smiled with a small sweatdrop, he growled playfully and grabbed her by her waist and brought her down with him. She pleaded with him to stop as he tickled her nonstop, and her giggling woke up Sano. He got up with an enormous yawn, and saw Megumi laying on him. He smirked and unbuckled his pants enough to reveal some of his boxers, to freak her out when she would wake her up. The rooster rubbed his hands together mischievously and watched her wake up, as he fell to his 'sleeping'.

Megumi's eyes bugged out of their sockets, she blinked trying to remember what had happened. She looked over to the what she thought was sleeping Sano, crawling over to him she waved her hands in front of his face to see if he was up, and he sprung up and bit her hand lightly. "Hey!" He looked down rather innocently and looked to her. "Why are my pants undone, is that why you were checking if I were awake...so you could try something!" he said. She gasped and began to argue with him.

Misao was the next to wake up, and she planted a soft kiss on Aoshi's cheek, where his eye popped open, she nearly jumped out of her skin. "H-h-hii!" He smirked seductively and kissed her on the lips softly. "It's okay, I hope every morning I'll be waked up like this." he said. She blushed and watched him sit up and tell her to sit on his lap. "Hey Misao!" Jas waved. "Today's the last day. Back to Tokyo for us!" Misao nodded, "Hey where's Tanuki?" Megumi asked.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at Kenshin and Kaoru together. "Aww..." came from a googly-eyed Sano, as he laid eyes on them. "Let's wake em up, I'm hungry!" Aoshi shook his head, and watched Sano walk over to Kenshin and leaned next to his ear, he soon began to sing his version of 'My Boo'. "My oh, my oh, my Oooh, my BOOooooOooo!" he sang cracking here and there that could've indeed shattered a few mirrors. Kenshin sprang up with his magnificent speed and tackled Sano to the floor, keeping his hand on his mouth. "Shuddup!" He walked back to Kaoru, who was sleeping like a baby, he picked her up wedding-style and whispered sexily in her ear: "Wake up baby." As he stroked her silken hair she awoke, only to see her one and only love in front of her.

She wore a beaming smile, and she wrapped her hands behind his neck. "Kenshin!" Her celestial eyes twinkled with love, and he responded, "Yes koishi?" Before she could reply he pressed his lips against hers softly, breaking apart after. Aoshi yawned, "Okay you love-birds, GET YOUR OWN ROOM!" Kaoru blushed, and Kenshin shot a glare to Aoshi. "Hey don't be jealous because me and Kaoru are getting it on!"Aoshi laughed lightly and nodded. "Whatever man, me and Misao are in LOVE!"

"Join the club." Sano and Yusuke said simultaneously. Kenshin laughed, "Ok." Misao placed a hand on her flat stomach, "Ok, now I have to agree with rooster head, I'm starving." Aoshi blurted out a perverted comment to her, "I could give you somethin' that'll satisfy that." Misao arched an eyebrow and said, "Aoshi…I didn't know you can be so dirty!" He smirked "…Oh but I am, and I'm still waiting to see you in your Victoria secret stuff...remember…don't think I forgot about that, well, I didn't."

"Jeez okay you guys, I'm hungry as hell! Let's go to the lobby, and we have to pack our bags!" Sano said grumpily. Aoshi stuck his tongue out at him ((remember Aoshi isn't THAT icy, besides he's a teen here.)) as he flirted more with Misao, telling her he'll pack her bags. Misao chased him around the room, but gave up when he locked himself in her room. Jas was trying to fit all her clothes in her poor suitcase, whose mouth was overflowing with clothes, Yusuke pounced her from behind, thus all her clothes falling down. "YUSUKE!" she pulled his hair lightly, "Help me pack them now." He smirked, "SURE!" She sweatdropped, "Or never mind…go pack up!" He laughed and got off of her, "You're gettin it when we get back!" he threatened her playfully.

Kenshin shook his head, and carried his and Kaoru's bags and placed them on the sofa. He took her to his room and spoke with her in the little time he could, before his hunger-infested friends would interrupt him. "Are you ready to go back?" Kenshin asked, running his fingers through her hair. She smiled and nodded, "Yes, and I'm so happy were together..." she couldn't help but say. He kissed her forehead, "I will always love you Kamiya Kaoru." Secretly in her mind she thought "One day that will be Himura Kaoru." She smiled and got up, hand-in-hand. Everyone was ready, and Misao drove to Air Tokyo and they left gave their suitcases to the airline people, as they went to get breakfast in the lobby.

Everyone felt as if they were in a candy shop, because they were! Sano ran up to the glass and poked it. "Oh, oh, oh! I want this!" The salesman looked at him as if wondering what was his problem. The rest of the crew took a step away and acted like they didn't know who he was. Megumi yanked him by his hair and dragged him out of it, into a breakfast place. It was a multi-cultural cuisine place.

Sneaking behind them all the time, was Tomoe, she left Yuki and Kagome back at the hotel room. "I have no time for them," she said to herself. She smirked to herself as her eye caught Kaoru; it glistened with pure evilness, and glazed with hatred. She had a plan that was certainly going to stir up trouble in their relationship. Tomoe looked quite different though, she cut her hair short, reaching a little above her shoulders, and she was not wearing a whorish outfit. She wore a long black cloak, covering her body, and shady black sunglasses.

She strolled into the café, and did not make eye contact with them, ordering a café argentino she sat in a table close to theirs, to listen to them. Yusuke and Jas shared a coffee chiller, with whipped cream on top, with two straws, although he kept wanting to put one. Kenshin and Kaoru sat next to them, talking over Thai donuts and milk. Sano craved his Japanese food and ordered a bunch of snacks, which included pucca, strawberry filled koalas, and Japanese gummies. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes, "What? It's for the flight!" Him and Megumi had strawberry frosted pocky, with green tea, his lap already covered in crumbs. Aoshi and Misao sat next to Kenshin and Kaoru talking of how it would be back at school. Misao munched on a chocolate filled koala as she attentively listened.

"I wonder if Mr. Yugisaki is still his mean self." Kenshin wondered out loud. Kaoru replied, "Well one thing I wish is that he forgot about that project…I didn't do it." Yusuke shifted his eyes, "Mean neither, and also the hag, Ms. Mitsuko…she's too old to be wearing the stuff she wears." Everyone gave a shudder, and remembered the old silver haired lady, in the short skirts; her cellulites showing, as well as wrinkles, and actually people weren't even sure if she was a she. Sano spoke with his mouth full, "Well, I miss making out in the hallways!" Megumi smirked, "We could do that when we get back. He gave a snicker, "KISAMACHI HIGH HERE WE COME!" Tomoe smirked behind her cloak, "Kisamachi high huh…heh…perfect."

They all walked out of the café, and sat in the waiting lobby. Not very long, a monotone voice rang through the area: "Flight to Tokyo, Japan leaving in five minutes", "Well that's ours! Let's go!" Kenshin said. Finally making it into the plane, the girls sat together, and so did the boys. The plane soon took off, Sano becoming a little sick… "Ughh…I could feel breakfast coming up!" he said, his face turning a bit green, Kenshin gagged a little. "Ewww man…hey Megumi get your boy fixed up!" She immediately had a yellow pill in her fingers, and crawled onto Sano, "Here baby." He took it and felt better. He kissed her and she got off of him, and went back to her girlfriends.

Tomoe sat in her cloaked outfit, in the back of the plane. Kaoru gazed out the window watching the clouds pass by; her azure eyes held happiness and she waited what would happen next, once they got home. Lost in her thoughts, Misao poked Kaoru on her shoulder, and she jumped. "Chill Kaoru, what's up?" Jas said. "Nothin…just wondering how it will be when we get back." Sano looked to Kenshin who seemed to be in a thoughtful state, "Yo Kenshin!" He took a deep breath and looked towards Sano, "Yeh?" "What was all of that in the restaurant, where Kaoru marched off on you for a while?" Kenshin sighed and shrugged, "Just a misunderstanding." He nodded. "Oh, I would hate to see you guys break up over one of those." Kenshin agreed. Yusuke turned around and something mystical caught his eyes, the old 'spirit' woman was there. She smiled an elder smile and he looked to Jas, whose hazel hues held the happiness of a girl in love. He smiled to himself, and looked back to the 'spirit' who had disappeared in a pearly mist.

A whole 5 hours passed, and they finally reached their home airport. Jas was asleep, and so were Kenshin, and Misao. A voice said, "Destination reached, Tokyo, Japan." Aoshi threw peanuts at everyone "Wake up people!" Kenshin suffered a dent in the middle of his forehead from it. They all were up and out. Reaching Kenshin's mansion they all sat down. Tomoe watched them from her car, which was parked out of the mansion, she smirked as a house for rent caught her eye, and she went to work.

After three hours of talking and eating, everyone had gone home. Kaoru was the last to leave, but before leaving; shared a kiss with Kenshin. Tomoe had her binoculars equipped watching from a little house across the street. She growled and whispered resentfully, "That will soon be me…and if not the case...Miss Lovebird will be Miss Sorrow very soon." Kaoru drove off and Kenshin went to bed, as night turned to morning.

It was six thirty in the morning, and alarm clocks were going off all over Tokyo. Kenshin bolted out of bed as his clock blasted "I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance. He got ready for the first day back, doing his daily routine. At Misao's house where Megumi and Kaoru slept over, high-pitched barking was heard as Sasuke; Misao's puppy named after one of her favorite shows decided to wake them up. They all began to awake, and get ready for the day.

Sano was sprawled on his bed, with a pack of gummies on his chest, a pillow on his head, and covers on his lower half, his boxers peeking out as well. His cousin Yusuke who was already awake banged a broomstick against the wall, thus…Sano sat up, the package falling down. "Huh?" he said drearily. Yusuke shook his head, "School, remember?" Sano yawned and got up and began to get ready. Aoshi was at home, already prepared to go.

It was now eight thirty, and school was being called in. Kenshin and his friends had met up, and were now on their way to their first period with Mr. Makoto their chemistry teacher. Each of them sitting down, he spoke in a monotone sarcastic voice, "Welcome back everybody! I'm so glad you all are back!" The students made a few 'tchs and pshs' and Makoto narrowed his eyes and cleared his throat. "Fine, down with the sarcasm, in with the project, fifteen grades, 1 or 10. ((In Japan, the grading scale is by numeric scales, or so I heard a 10 is puts forth maximum effort while 1 is lacks effort. If not so please correct me in a review if anyone would be so kind.))

Makoto wore a smirk of complete evil; everyone took out their assignment except Kenshin and his friends. He falsely sighed and said, "Only the Kenshin crew?" About to speak again, he was interrupted as someone knocked on the door, Ms. Hiroshi another teacher spoke to him. Moments later Makoto nodded and addressed the class, "It seems we have a new student", as he said this a girl of great beauty, slender figured, elegant stature, dark blue orbs as eyes, and rosy lips walked into the class. She wore black jeans with diamond designs on the back-pockets, which clung lightly to her thighs, along with a red bebe tee, a thin strip of her lightly, tanned mid-drift exposed, her jeans lightly covering white bebe tennis shoes. The room suddenly smelled of soft white plums, her raven black hair in a low ponytail, two strands hanging on the side.

Nearly all of the male attention was directed to her, Kaoru thought she seemed to be a very nice person. "Tell us your name dear," Ms. Hiroshi would say softly. "My name is Tomoe Yukishiro." She said cheerfully. Kenshin whispered the name to himself, and thought he was hearing things, and muttered, "It can't be".
