BACK TO KENSHIN------------------------------------------------------------

hey, Sano and Megumi are so not getting off that phone anytime soon.(KH)

Yeah.

So...what are you doing right now?

nothing but talking to you...why?

Um...I know you hate me and all, but, I wanna make it up to you. Can I take you out somewhere or something?

I didn't hate...

I was always a show off...and I really didn't know what you had against me, but I wanna take you out somewhere

As in...a date?

No...not if you don't want it to be

Oh, okay then. So...where do ya wanna meet?

What about your house

There's nothing to do here. Well, that is if Sanosuke doesn't come over

(Chuckle) so?

I thought you said you were gonna take me out somewhere.(M: What! He's gonna take you out!)

Oro

(laughter)

Okay...you can come here. The address is...(gave him the address)

Okay thank you

Uh-huh bye

bye.

Kenshin hung up the phone and walked past Sanosuke and Inuyasha.

"Yo, Kenshin!"

Kenshin turned around to face Sanosuke. "Yes, Sano?"

"Are you going to their apartment?" Kenshin was afraid of what Sano might do if he had said yes. "Umm..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! WAIT FOR ME, KENSHIN! I'M COMING TOO!" Sano ran into his bedroom and came out with a jacket and a bag of extra clothes about 2 minutes later. Inuyasha said something into the phone and hung up. He went into his bedroom and came out with the same stuff as Sano (Well, Inuyasha had to get a shirt of course). Kenshin shook his head and chuckled.

"We can't just leave Yuuske here." Inuyasha looked at Sanosuke. "Since when do you care for Yuuske?"

Sano shrugged. "I have a thing for junkies I guess." Kenshin smiled. "He's right...let's wait for Yuuske."

2 seconds later...

Inuyasha dropped his coat. "He's taking too long, let's just go already!"

Kenshin glared at him. "No, not yet." Sanosuke heard keys fiddling with the door. He rushed over and opened it. Yuuske walked in with a bag of food so tall, you couldn't see his face. Sanosuke grabbed the bag and rested it on the table searching through it.

"Hey! Where's all the edible stuff! All this is is tofu and water!" Kenshin and Inuyasha ran over to the bag. They looked in and yelled "WE'RE GONNA STARVED TO DEATH!" Yuuske chuckled.

"What's so funny? This isn't a laughing matter, that it's not!"

"Well, all we eat is junk food, so I decided we need to eat healthy from now on." Inuyasha walked up to him and held him by the coller. "YOU CALL TOFU AND WATER, HEALTHY?"

"Yes." Sanosuke put his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and glared at Yuuske. "That's not healthy, that's going vegetarian!" Kenshin glanced at his watch. "Hey, guys! We gotta go." Yuuske looked at him. "Where we going?"

"Kaoru's place." Yuuske started to blush. "Who's car you taking?"

"Well at first we were gonna take mine, but since you tried to turn us vegetarian...we'll use yours." Yuuske dropped his car keys and looked at Kenshin. "Fine...but if you get one scratch on it, I'm gonna...!" Sano and Inuyasha agreed and grabbed his keys, dragging him out the door.

Kenshin chuckled.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

"Oh! What am I gonna wear? I don't want Sano to see me in my night clothes!' Kagome started giggling. "He's gonna see you in less than that soon anyway."

Megumi blushed."Not funny Kagome!"

Kaoru was combing her hair in front of her bathroom mirror. "Hey, Kaoru, gettin ready for Kenshin?" Kaoru dropped her comb and turned red. She picked it up. "Can't I comb my hair once without you two thinking I have a date or something?" Megumi and Kagome shook their heads. "Aren't you gonna do something to get ready for Inuyasha, Kagome?"

Kagome started blushing. "Get ready for what with him? I'm not gonna start making out with him yet!"

Kaoru set her comb on the side of the sink and turned around."Yet?"

Kagome started blushing again.

They drove up to a farely big hotel looking building. They went to the front desk but Yuuske just waved at the clerk and walked past him. The guys followed.

"Wow, interesting place."

Inuyasha frowned. "I don't like it...it's too...clean." Kenshin chuckled at his comment. They reached a stopping point and Yuuske knocked on the door. They heared a screaming Megumi running toward it. Inuyasha smirked at Sanosuke. "I think she's ready for ya."

With that the door flew open. Megumi froze at the sight. "Wow, four boys at my door...a dream come true." They all laughed. "Come in, don't be strangers."

Inuyasha walked in and saw Kagome sitting on the couch as red a rose garden. He laughed and sat down beside her. "Hey."

Kagome didn't look at him. "Hi." Yuuske came in and walked toward another part of the apartment. Sanosuke noticed this. "Hey, where's he going?" "To Kayko's room."

Kenshin and Sanosuke laughed. "Where's the missy?"

Megumi called out her name. "Kaoru! Kenshin's here!" Kenshin turned a slight red. He looked toward a moving door and saw Kaoru come from behind it. She walked up to Kenshin and Sanosuke already saying hello to Inuyasha. "Hi, guys."

"Hey there missy.", "Hello, Miss Kaoru."

Megumi grabbed Sanosuke's arm and led him to her room.

Everyone laughed. Kenshin looked at Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome was still as red as a rose garden. "So...Kagome...how've you been?" Kagome looked at Kenshin. "I've been good." She calmed down alittle bit. Kenshin then looked at Inuyasha. He nodded and picked Kagome up. She had a shocked look on her face. Though she didn't say anything. He followed the hallway to an empty room.

Kenshin and Kaoru started to laugh. He sat down on the couch. Kaoru sat beside him reaching for the remote. "So what do you wanna do until they're done?" Kenshin thought for a momment. "Inuyasha, Yuuske or Sano?" Kaoru giggled, "all of them." Kenshin looked at the remote she had. "If I know Sanosuke, he's not gonna finish until tomorrow." They both started laughing uncontrolabley.

Kaoru turned on the TV and started running up and down the selection thingy. Kenshin got dizzy and layed his head back smirking at the moaning noises coming from all rooms.

Kaoru got up and walked over to the kitchen. "Want anything?" Kenshin felt his stomach rubble and nodded. "Well, we have hot dogs, pancakes, lettus, ramen, corn, chicken with noddles and left over spagetti." Kenshin started drooling. "I'll have the...lettus." Kaoru looked at him in disbeilef. "No you won't." Kenshin looked at her. "Yes, I will."

"No, you won't...Kenshin, you don't have to eat all the vegetables 'cause you don't wanna eat all of our good food." Kenshin turned away. Kaoru took out two hot dogs and put them in the microwave. A minute later, she handed one to Kenshin. "Thank you." Kaoru nodded. She sat down beside him and started eating.

Kenshin looked at the TV and then at the remote. Kaoru saw him. "Go ahead, you don't have to watch what's on." Kenshin nodded and grabbed it. He started flicking through channels. He stopped at a James Bond movie.

Kaoru started to giggle. "I love James Bond." Kenshin smiled and put down the remote. He finished his hot dog. Kaoru finished hers as well and focused on the movie (it was the one where James Bond went after this drug dealer guy).

"I love this part." Kenshin heard her and watched the movie closly. BAM! James Bond flies away with a helacopter of money. Kenshin chuckled. "Boy, would I love to be him right now. "Kaoru giggled. "Oh, Yeah."

Kenshin stared at her with a smirk on his face. She looked at him.

"Um...Kenshin?"

"Huh? What?"

"Are you okay?" Kenshin looked back at the TV. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked back at Kaoru. "Hey, you wanna do something?" Kaoru nodded. "Like...?"

"I dunno...maybe we can talk." Kaoru's eyes widened.

"Talk. You...of all people...wanna talk." Kenshin looked at the remote. He grabbed it and turned off the TV. He then turned back to Kaoru.

"Yeah, talk."

"Okay...about what?"

"About us." Kaoru felt her heart beat.

"Us?"

Kenshin nodded. Kaoru started to blush. Oh, god! My throat! No...not now...please, this isn't the right time for me to lose my voice! she thought. Kenshin looked at her.

"I wanna know why you hate me so much." Kaoru frowned. "I didn't say I hated you." Kenshin frowned. "So why don't you like me? Is it my looks? My friends? Did I do something to you when we were in school?"

"Kenshin...I..." Kenshin paused. "I didn't like you because you were such a full-of-yourself guy."His eyes widened. "You were good at everything...everyone loved you...everyone knew you. Any girl you had a crush on, you'd get instantly. I was the complete opposite. All I was good at was kendo, but you were still better. I tried volleybal and basketball...but I always humiliated myself so I never tried. We're opposite Kenshin, and I hate it. I always have."

Kenshin stared at her. He reached for her hand. "It's okay that your not a sports person. I don't care, Kaoru. But if you really look at it, you have one ability that I will never have." Kaoru lifted her head. "Oh, yeah? And what's that?" Kenshin smiled sweetly. "You can draw." Kaoru didn't say anything. "You know, art can get you a lot of places. You could be a cartoonist."(hehe)

"You have a bright future ahead of you because of your gift. You have the gift of art, and I have the gift of sports." Kaoru smiled. "Thanks, Kenshin." He chuckled. "No problem." Kenshin looked at his hand (which was on hers). "You know...how opposite magnets attract each other?" Kaoru had a confused look. "Yeah."

Kenshin smiled. "Well, it's not too different from us. We're complete opposites aren't we? So we were ment to attract each other."

Kaoru turned bright red. She looked up at Kenshin who was staring down at her. He drew closer to her for a kiss when..."Hey, guys!" Kaoru looked at the caller. "What is it Sanosuke?" He was barely dressed and he had a blanket wrapped around his waste. "Do you have any hand cuffs?" Kaoru turned red at the reason for him asking that. Kenshin chuckled.

"Uh...they're in Megumi's bottom left droar." Sanosuke got an evil look on his face. "All RIGHT! Thanks missy!" He ran back to Megumi's room.

Kaoru giggled. "Megumi's gonna be in some seroius pain tomorrow." Kenshin nodded. "Well, Inuyasha has fangs...Literally." Kaoru laughed harder. Kenshin stopped her laughter with his lips. She looked at him for a while and closed her eyes, excepting the kiss. He put his hand on her cheek. Kaoru ran her fingers through hissmoothred hair. He lowered his head and kissed her neck.Kenshin picked her up and walked toward an empty room.

On the way they could hear rustling noises coming from all three rooms. They both laughed. Kaoru opened her bedroom door and Kenshin walked in. He put her down and locked the door.

Kaoru walked toward her mirror but before she got there, Kenshin grabbed her and put her on the bed. She smiled at him. Kenshin bit her neck causing her to shake a little. He smirked and continued down her body. He stopped at her waist, looking at it for a moment. Kaoru noticed he had stopped and looked at him. "Something wrong?" Kenshin kissed it and shook his head. Then he...

NEXT MORNING- (sorry...that's enough for me, I couldn't take it anymore...and I wrote this story, isn't that sad?)

Kenshin hesitated, but managed to open his eyes. He had awoke to find Kaoru still asleep on his chest. He softly chuckled. She's so beautiful...I can't beileve what I've been missing all throughout my life with her. He thought.

He gently moved her off of him and got dressed. He walked to the mirror to fix his hair when he heard giggling coming from the room next to him. He walked out into the hallway and followed the giggling to Kagome's room.

He stuck his head in the room to find Kagome playing with Inuyasha's hair (He's in human form). Kenshin chuckled to himself. Kagome heard him and quickly went under the covers. She wasn't really dressed. Kenshin opened the door and laughed. "KENSHIN? What're you doing in here!"

"Oh, don't worry, I'm leavin." He left the rasberry girl in her room.

I wonder if Megumi and Sano are still at it, he thought. He quietly tip-toed toward Megumi's room and stuck his head in.

Megumi was asleep on Sano's chest, and Sanosuke was looking at Kenshin. Kenshin froze as he noticed. "You think I didn't hear your footsteps, ha?" Kenshin chuckled. "You had fun, I assume." Sano chuckled. "Yep, how bout you?" Kenshin blushed. "I had fun too, that I did." They both laughed silently. Kenshin shut the door and walked down the hallway back to Kaoru's room. He found her looking around the room for something. She saw him open the door and ran to him. Kenshin opened his arms expecting a hug but all she did was punch him. "OW! what was that for?" Kaoru glared at him. "What's your problem just leaving me in here like that!" Kenshin chuckled.

"This isn't funny, Kenshin!"

"I know...I'm sorry, Kaoru." He put his arms around her waist and kissed her. Kaoru pushed him away and walked to her bed. "Hey, come on, your not seriously mad...are you?" Kaoru crossed her arms. "It's possible." Kenshin smiled and sat down beside her. He hugged her. She looked away. "Your not getting pitty from me, Kenshin."

Kenshin shot huge puppy dog eyes at her. She looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but smile. "Oh, alright, I'll forgive you this time...but that's it." Kenshin nodded. Just as Kenshin was laying her down again, the door opened. Sano was standing there smirking at them. "Well, I guess I see that you really were enjoying yourself , missy." Kaoru blushed. Megumi walked up beside him rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Kenshin and Kaoru gasped at the same time. Megumi had hickeys all over her. Kenshin sat up. "I guess...you had fun, Miss. Megumi?"

Megumi wore a confused face. Sano blushed and quickly grabbed her and led her back to her room, now noticing that she had nothing on.

Kenshin walked outside to find Kaoru...

He walked up beside her and kissed her on the cheek. Kaoru turned around really quick, slapping Kenshin in the face with her hair. Kaoru laughed. "Sorry bout that, Kenshin." Kenshin acted as if he were spiting out hair from his mouth. "No problem. So...you okay, Miss Kaoru?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. You Know, Kenshin, you don't have to call me "Miss Kaoru"." Kenshin looked at her. "Okay...then how about I call you...baby." Kaoru turned bright red. "I'M NOT A BABY!" Kenshin chuckled. "I meant the other baby."

PLEASE READ!

That was a year ago...since then...Kenshin, Sano, Yuuske, and Inuyasha have changed. They and the girls have become complete oppsites. The two groups never spoke after that day...why you ask? What could have caused them to just go cold turkey? That question...may never be answered. Now a year later...

"So who do you think'll win?" Inuyasha looked at Sanosuke in confusion. "What're you talking about?" Sanosuke pointed toward something. Inuyasha followed his fingers to find Kaoru swinging punches at Kenshin. Inuyasha wasn't surprised. They've hated each other ever since the first day of school. Inuyasha shrugged. "I bet Kaoru." Sanosuke glaced at him. "Missy, ha? well...I bet Kenshin."

They watched as Kenshin grabbed Kaoru's hands and pinned them behind her. He went close to her ear. "Heh, I suggest you give up now. You can't beat me, Kaoru."

The hallway of students was frozen in place too frightened to separate them and too frightened to even move. Kaoru felt like she could explode! She smashed Kenshin's foot into the ground (not literally)causing him to painfully release her. She slammed her elbow into his gut. Kenshin fell back hurled over. Kaoru bent down and grabbed his hair forcing him to look at her.

"Who should give up again?" Inuyasha smiled. "Told ya Kaoru'll win." Sanosuke looked away.

"Hey guys." Inuyasha looked around to see Yuuske. "Hey, man." Yuuske looked toward Kenshin and Kaoru and sighed. "Again?" Inuyasha and Sano nodded. "Again." Sanosuke walked over behind Kaoru and Yuuske walked behind Kenshin. Yuuske grabbed Kenshin and held him back. Sanosuke did the same with Kaoru. She struggled.

"LEMME GO! I'M GONNA FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Kenshin looked at her and chuckled. "Yeah, right! You couldn't handle me if you tried, you little raccoon girl!" Kaoru gasped. "RACCOON GIRL?"

"I'm GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT ONE! BAKA!" Kenshin looked toward the students that were watching in terror.

"It's seems like you've made quite a scene, Kaoru." He looked at Sanosuke and then picks up his bookbag, throwing it on his shoulder. "Sano...you can release her now. I'll deal with her after school." Sanosuke did as Kenshin said.

Kaoru picked up her books and watched as Kenshin, Sano, Yuuske and Inuyasha walked a foot away before..."After school, ha? Your just mad 'cause you can't make me kneel down and kiss your shoes like everyone else in this school!" Kenshin paused. He turned his head so all you could see was his face from side view. "We'll see about that Miss. Kaoru." He turned his head back and walked away. Kagome and Kayko walked up beside Kaoru. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"So what was all that about anyway?" Kaoru started walking. "Just a quarrel." Kagome and Kayko looked at each other. They walked up beside Kaoru. "You two have been having a lot of quarrels lately." Kaoru frowned. "Well...they're all parrot-brain's fault!"

Kagome and Kayko started to giggle. They followed her to English class.

To Be Continued...
