R.S. :It's almost New Years. And I'm gonna party like its my birthday. I feel... so strange. I just feel sad I think. My Final Fantasy story 'Run Away Run Away' had a major writers block. So I just need to figure out what to do next. But otherwise, I'm neutral. Tell me how your feeling.

It's always that one person

Chapter Two: Winter animals, Disobeying Daddy, Partying wild, and Shinji makes Kaoru leave the house

Four days have gone by and Kenshin had been on suspension with Soujiro. Aoshi and Kaoru were still fighting. And finally Kaoru had it.

Kaoru was up and early, dressing Yahiko. Last night she and Aoshi had gotten into another fight and she ended up breaking something and lashing out at him. Her father was mostly upset with her because she hit him and she broke something. She didn't think it was fair, but she couldn't change it. She slipped on his sweater and then she put on his necklace and fixed his hair. She also put on his shoes before her cell phone rang. She picked it up and then she examined it. Since it was in a leather case, it didn't break. She picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Morning sexy." Kaoru smiled as she put on his socks.

"What's up?"

"We're going to get something to eat because there's no food and we need to go food shopping. Wanna come? You can bring Yahiko too. I hear him in the background. Oh and Katyli is going."

"Sure. I just have to leave a note. Can you meet me at the end of my street?"

"Sure. See you in ten minutes."

"Kay." she made a kiss noise before hanging up the phone and putting on his boots.

"We're going out to eat breakfast, kay Yahiko? Then I'm gonna drop you off at school."

"Okay!" he smiled at her before she went to her closet and she put on her shoes. She grabbed her jacket that was slung over her desk chair and she carried Yahiko and her book bag down the steps. She ran back up before writing a note and leaving it on her door. She put on Yahiko's jacket and his gloves. Then she placed on his hat and she got on Kenshin's hat. It was matching her outfit anyway. She put on ear warmers and she gave Yahiko his. Then she put on his book bag and she and Yahiko left the house. The walked down the street, Yahiko just looking at the winter wonderland with wide eyes and a smile on his face. Kaoru smiled down at him before they saw Kenshin's car drive up. He got out and he gave her a hug. Then he picked up Yahiko.

"Aoshi broke your toys. I'm sorry." he looked down.

"It's okay. I'll just buy them again. Okay? No sadness." he nodded before Kaoru saw a van going by fast and yelling, "Hurry you damn turtle!"

"That's your father?" he nodded before Kenshin took Yahiko's bag and he put it on the floor. Then he put him in a toddler seat that he asked his father to put in. Kaoru got in and then she smiled at Kenshin before she shut her door. Kenshin got in and then he turned and he sped off, catching up to his father.

Kaoru had met Kenshin's sister and he also met his cousin who lived with them. His sister's name was Netalia. She was a redhead like Kenshin and she had blue eyes like Kaoru. His cousin was named Tai. He had black hair and light green eyes. She also met his father. His name was Takashi. He had red hair and hazel eyes. She thought they were funny and they were happy.

"So Kaoru I heard that you and Kenshin are going out." She nodded as she gave Yahiko another piece of his pancake and eggs.

"Is he nice to you?" she nodded.

"He's very charming and he's very sweet. He gave me his hat when I was cold yesterday. He's a real sweetie." she smiled at his blush.

"I see. Kenshin you better treat her right. She is a very nice girl. She's not like those other hoochies you brought to me." they all shared a laugh as Kenshin sighed and put his head down for a moment. Then he gave Kaoru a smile. Yahiko opened his mouth and she gave him some more.

"So your name is Yahiko, boy?" Yahiko nodded as Kaoru gave him another piece. He chewed and then he swallowed.

"I'm four and my daddy is Shinji Kamiya."

"Oh he is now? I know him. We went to school together. Crazy one that Shinji." Kaoru looked over.

"He was?"

"Oh yeah! Shinji was a ladies' man and me and him were the sneaky players of the school. Let me tell you he was playing women one after another. Then he met Annalise and he just stopped. He stopped it all and he just stuck to her like white on rice. She was such a sweet one." Kaoru then gave a smile with Yahiko.

"You both have her traits. Her smile and her personality."

"I said the same thing." Kenshin said.

"Boy hush. Stop taking my shine." they laughed again before finishing up breakfast.

Kaoru heard her cellphone ring and she picked it up.

"Hello?" she hung it up after two sentences.

"Who was that?"

"My oldest brother Shinji. He's upset." Kaoru saw Genia run in and sit down.

"Genia?"

"Hey Kaoru. Takashi no food for me?"

"That plate right there." Genia smiled and then she gave Netalia a hug before chowing down. She then looked up at Kaoru.

"Your gonna get a scolding later on today."

"Why? I left a note."

"But you took Yahiko." Kaoru sucked her teeth and sighed. Genia then finished up before looking at Kenshin.

"So your the one that Kaoru and Aoshi were arguing over yesterday... Nice choice Kaoru. He's sexy."

"I know. I have taste you know. Isn't he just the damned sexiest thing you've ever seen in high school?"

"Uh huh. They didn't have guys half as good looking as you." Kenshin blushed again before Kaoru noticed his ponytail was shorter than before and now it was at the middle of his back instead of the end of his back.

"Oh my god! Kenshin why did you cut it !"

"I did it because your father said he didn't tolerate long hair. Made him feel like that person was turning gay." Kaoru sighed before sitting down.

"Kaoru he did that to go out with you. Better be grateful." Kaoru then gave a smile.

"I am." they all left the place and left the money on the table. Genia had went and brought Yahiko a small sandwich and a chocolate milk from the deli. Kaoru bought a chocolate milk as well along with the others. Then Genia picked up Yahiko.

"I'll take him to school. Say bye to them." Yahiko went and Kaoru knelt down and gave him a hug. He then hugged Kenshin's leg.

"Thank you for taking me to breakfast." he said and then Kenshin rustled his hair before Genia took him and put him in the car before waving. Netalia and Tai hopped in with her before they sped off. Soujiro went with his father back to the house.

Kenshin and Kaoru were just driving around until He drove them to a woods area that he knew. She gasped at how beautiful it was when they drove around.

"Wow. This is so beautiful." Kenshin parked up and he went in the back. Kaoru went into the back as well before removing her coat and her hat. Kenshin had the heat on. Kenshin did the same before opening the sunroof glass.

"This is so beautiful. Thanks Kenshin. This is so sweet." Kenshin smiled at her and kissed her cheek. She smiled at him before they just watched the snow falling over the lake. Kaoru then snuggled close to Kenshin, the silence was peaceful. Kenshin put on the radio and then he turned Kaoru's face to him and he closed his eyes and gave her a kiss. Kaoru closed her eyes and then she opened her mouth and let his tongue come in and fight hers. Kaoru sat in his lap and then she began to kiss him again. Kenshin held her in his lap as their kissing became more passionate and more heated. Kenshin pushed her off of his lap and the she put her jacket under her head and she removed her shirt so she wouldn't get it sweaty. Kenshin did the same thing before resting on top of her gently and holding his weight as he kissed her once more. She leaned her head up to meet him. Kenshin pulled her legs apart and rested in between them as they just lip locked. Kaoru moaned as he put his hand under her shirt and traced up and down.

"Your not scared of what my father said?" Kenshin gave her a smirk before kissing her again and grabbing her slightly. She moaned again and before Kenshin really got heated, he let go and sat up. She sat up and then she gave him a playful seductive smirk.

"You are so playful." Kenshin smiled at her before putting back on his shirt and his jacket. Then he gave Kaoru hers and they went outside the car to the lake area. Kaoru looked around and she felt happy. The snow and the rain always made her feel better. Kenshin hugged her close before they just looked on. Then they heard a meow.

"Kaoru is that you because that is really exotic." Kaoru hit him playfully.

"It's a kitten... oh Kenshin look at the two!" Kenshin bent down like Kaoru was doing and she looked at him with a smile as he widened his eyes. The two kittens were obviously twins seeing as they had the same brownish blond fur and big bright blue eyes. Kaoru saw them shivering so she picked one up. Kenshin picked up the other. One was a boy, one was a girl. Kenshin held the boy. Both had big blue ribbons tied around their necks.

"Oh Kenshin let's go and get some milk and two bottles." Kenshin nodded before he looked around for anymore cats with Kaoru. Then they got to the car. But the girl cat was meowing loud. Kenshin saw a puppy, which had shocked him. But he had the same blue eyes only white and black fur. He was obviously a Siberian Husky. He jumped into their lap before Kenshin shut the door. There was no more after that. So they just drove off to the store and got what Kaoru said.

Kaoru saw the time and they headed to the school. Kenshin let Soujiro take the one Kaoru was holding since she wanted the puppy. They walked up to the building. They were late. They put the milk in the small animal bottles that they had just bought at the pet store and they then went to their lockers. Kenshin got his number from his pocket. His was right across the hall from Kaoru's. Soujiro's was next to Kenshin's. Kaoru put the hat away before she picked up her bag. Then she looked down at the puppy before taking her scarf and putting it around him. The dog curled up in it and then she said 'You are so cute! What is your name?' She looked at the ribbon on her neck and then she saw the name.

"Genivine. Genivine is your name."

"This guy's name is Potari."

"This girl's name is Kobari." They walked down the hall and then they reached their math class since it was first that day. They entered the class and Kaoru was just holding him as she fed him and some of the students 'awwed' at the animals. The apologized for being late and then they sat down and they pulled out their books. Kaoru finished feeding the puppy and then she burped. She put her paws up on the desk and then she looked around the room and barked once and a while.

"Sssh Genivine. You'll get me in trouble." Kenshin and Soujiro giggled at her. She sent them a glare but then ended up in smiling and just going back to the lesson. She raised her hand to go up to the board and write the question. She put the dog on her shoulder and then she went up and she wrote the question with one hand while holding him. She sat down after she was done and then Kenshin raised his hand. Kaoru then realized she made an error.

"Teacher wait! I know what I did wrong! I didn't use the circumference!" Kenshin nodded to her with a smile before she went up and she did it over fast and calculated it the best way in her head.

"It's 653.5!" Kaoru heard Soujiro and then she changed it before sitting down. The answer was right and then Kaoru sighed.

"Thanks." she whispered to them. They nodded before continuing the work. Genivine jumped up and put her paws on Kaoru's shoulder and looked around the room, wagging her tail. Kaoru sighed as she felt her bark and then look around. Genivine looked over at Sanosuke. She saw his angry looks and then she whined and she went and she looked at Kenshin. She heard him making kissing noises softly and motioning her to come over. She went onto the desk and then Kenshin picked her up and he switched with her. Kaoru was now holding Potari. Potari was energetic as he looked around and wagged his little tail. He then sat obediently in her lap as she said 'sssh.' Kenshin smiled at her as he was letting the dog fight his finger. The teacher told them to hush. Kaoru then switched with Soujiro and soon she was back with Genivine. Genivine was just playing with the rubber part of the bottle. Kaoru had taken it off and let her play with it. She was just sitting in the scarf like it was some hammock because Kaoru had tied it like that. She was just munching on it and laying there on her back, kicking.

The bell rang and then Kaoru saw her raise her leg.

"No Genivine!"

Kaoru picker her up and then she put her to the window where she just went. It fell in the bushes. She sighed before she shook her a little and then put her back in her scarf. They put the extra milk in the teachers' fridge and they put the bottles there with a note on it. Then they carried them to History class. Katyli was sitting there, helping her father pass out the work. She had a free period, so she didn't need to go anywhere. She then sat back down and she began to sketch. She looked around for influence and then she saw the dog. She saw Kaoru hold it still and then she knew she was watching. She nodded in thanks before sketching the dog. Kaoru held her as still as possible. When Katyli was done, she moved her hand back and forth once. Kaoru let her roam more freely and then Katyli began to add different things to the background of it, making it look beautiful. When she was done she just began to do things an artist would.

"Kaoru stop messing with Genivine." Kaoru was finger fighting with Genivine and Genivine was having fun kicking her feet and nipping and nibbling on her fingers.

"It's just so much fun! Fight me Genivine!" she laughed to herself as they researched for the next part of their project. Kaoru laughed before Mr. Summers took all three of the pets and put them on his desk so they could have space. The two kittens sat obediently with Genivine before they all just began to wrestle and rough house. He caught Kobari before she fell off the desk. Then he put her back on and he picked up Genivine. Potari began to hiss and meow at the door as he saw somebody standing there. Kobari began to hiss and arch her back as well. The students looked at who came in. It was Shuichi and Genia. Genia was trying to hold him. He was upset. She pulled him into the hallway.

"Aoshi grab your sister and bring her out." Aoshi gripped her arm tightly and she felt him grab her other arm.

"Let me go! This hurts you know!" Aoshi refused and she began to kick and fight back until he got her to the door and out. He then shut it. Kenshin looked over at Soujiro worried.

"I think she wasn't suppose to leave this morning at all. She just should have said no."

"I know. But she needed the breath, probably. Didn't you hear her sister? They've been fighting since the day you got suspended." Kenshin heard somebody bang up against the door and he looked and he saw Kaoru there barking and yelling at her brother. The class was silent as they listened to the Kamiya family argue. Genia was on her side.

"Shuichi I was there too! All we did was eat breakfast!"

"Stay out of this!" he grabbed her arm.

"Shuichi stop it! Your hurting her!"

"I said stay out of this Genia! Back off right now! He called her in the middle of the night and I heard their conversation! I'm not stupid! What are you doing with this guy!"

"I'm not doing anything! HE TALKED TO DADDY! WHY DON'T YOU TRUST ME!"

"Because you are just flipping out of your normal self into something more bad! You never yell and fight at Aoshi! And listen to you now! You hit him in his face yesterday and you broke that vase that daddy liked! You never do shit like this! What is your deal? You wanna be this guy's friend so bad that you'll change for him?! Huh?! You'll abandon all your morals just to get on their good side! Because that's being a follower and I thought you didn't want that!"

"I'm not following anybody!"

"Then what is it! Huh?! Tell me what it is! Because I'm sick of this now! You did this before and you were hurt! I don't want you hurt again!"

"THEIR JUST LIKE ME!" Kaoru yelled out to them.

"He knows exactly what I feel! The both of them know what I feel! I can talk to them and get a straight answer without fucking around the corner! They lost their parents just like me! They know what it's like to sit there and watch them die! You don't know so how can I get a straight answer from you or anybody else?! You don't even know him yet and you judge him because Sanosuke sicked his gang on him or whoever did it!"

Sano yelled, 'I DIDN'T DO IT!'

"So just stop! Just stop judging! Don't be inside the box all the time! Think outside the box!" Shuichi looked down on her.

"Is that what this is about? Mom? Because they lost a parent your gonna change? What the hell is wrong with you! Didn't mom say to never mourn! Never to change to just get your feelings hidden! Didn't she say a person who changes for somebody else is a follower?! Didn't she say that?!"

"I'm not changing at all!"

"Shut up and let me finish!" Kaoru looked up into his eyes.

"Your gonna just abandon your friends and just go to those two? Do you know how many people called me last night over you? Misao cried to me, Megumi cried to me, Sanosuke was pissed, the twins were upset over it, and your dear brother Aoshi was hurt. Your just gonna keep hurting them? I know you. Your hurting yourself. So you make up your mind right now. You choose which path you'll go. Because right now, in my eyes, your going downhill again. And this time I'm not gonna help you get back to the top. Your doing it this time. Not somebody else." Kaoru let her tears fall.

"You don't even understand why I'm doing this." she cried. She put her head in her hands and she let her tears flow. Genia tried to touch her.

"Get off of me!" Genia looked at her.

"Kaoru it's me."

"I don't care!"

"Kaoru who are you yelling at?! I'm trying to help you out here! I'm on your side!" Kaoru looked at her before apologizing. Genia then sighed before running her hand through her hair. Kaoru looked at him.

"Tell me what I don't understand about them. Explain if your so self-confident that it's not some bullshit!" Kaoru barked at him to shut up.

"No I won't! Because you know I'm right and your wrong! Now tell me what your going to do!" Kaoru wiped her tears before she turned and opened the door. She wiped her tears before she went to her book bag and she picked it up harshly and she threw everything inside. She then turned to Kenshin and Soujiro.

"I'm sorry. I-I can't hang out with you two anymore. My family doesn't want me to. Kenshin ... just find somebody else. I know it's been only a few days and I'm really sorry." she wiped her tears again.

"You guys are really cool, but they don't see that. And I really liked you Kenshin. I honestly felt a connection to you. But it won't work out. I'm sorry." she then moved her things to the empty seat at the back and her brothers and Genia came in. Aoshi went to his seat and he put his face in his hands before sighing to himself. Misao just rubbed his back for him before continuing her work. Shuichi took Kaoru's phone and he deleted their numbers and blocked it with two slick moves. He then put it down and he left the room. Genia rubbed her back.

"I'm sorry I can't stop them." she whispered to her.

"But daddy ordered him and Aoshi. He didn't trust Kenshin, even with the phone call." she got up before going to the desk and picking up the three animals. Then she went out the door and she placed them in a basket that she had brought from school before leaving the school building. Kaoru wiped her tears before picking up the phone and calling her father. He sounded tired and mad.

"Hello.."

"Your a liar! You lied to me! I hate you!"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that Kaoru Annalise Kamiya."

"Why don't you believe me?! You think I'm doing something that I'm not suppose to be doing! You don't want to trust me! Why don't you trust me now?!"

"How can I trust you when your just straying away from your friends just for two other people who just moved there from a bad area?!" Kenshin and Soujiro felt bad for her and for themselves.

"I understand you daddy. Goodbye. I don't want the car, I don't want the necklace, I don't want anything from you. You can't trust me." she hung up before Katyli went to her and knelt down before talking to her silently. Soujiro and Kenshin just worked together as the rest of the period ended. Kaoru had wiped her tears and then she gave Kenshin and Soujiro a sad smile before waving 'bye'. The two nodded before they waited for everybody to leave. They left the room.

"I guess... it's just you and me again Kenshin."

"Yeah... I guess so." Soujiro heard Kenshin sigh before he placed a hang on his shoulder and gripped it gently. He gave him a soft smile as they began to walk.

"I really liked her Soujiro. I really did."

Kaoru had skipped the first period of her ELA class. She was just walking around outside. She had wandered around so aimlessly, that she had ended up at a mini mall three blocks away. When she got to the door, the teacher wanted an explanation on why she was late. She didn't give an answer, so the teacher stopped her. She turned and she looked.

"It's because I went for a walk. I was bored." she then shook her off before going to her seat. She saw Kenshin below her with Soujiro and some kid with short hair sitting next to her. Kaoru was bored for half of the lesson and then she just put on her MP3 player. She had added some new songs to it last night. She put on her hoodie before resting her head down and she turned her head to the side before falling asleep silently. Kaoru just didn't feel like doing anything at all. Megumi and Misao sighed to theirselves.

"She's just being so different. I hate her this way."

"Uh huh. All because of those two new boys." Kenshin and Soujiro sunk in their seats, feeling guilty. Kaoru had heard them, because her volume was low, and she knew how they felt. She shifted before going back into a deep sleep. When the bell rang, she got up and she packed up her things before passing Kenshin and Soujiro a sheet of paper.

"This is yours. Sorry I took it up." she went up the down the steps and out of the room. Kenshin and Soujiro got up and then they read the paper. She had lied. It was a note. The two read it before giving each other faint smirks and then exiting the room.

Kaoru was skipping her computer class. She had a pass and she was just wandering around. She then went outside and she sat down on the railing before taking a breath and playing with some snow. She then sighed before she turned and she day dreamed about nothing. She was hurt because she didn't want to just pretend that she didn't know them. She was more hurt because she had feelings for Kenshin. Even if she had only met him yesterday, she felt like she knew him forever. It was one of those connections with people that made you go crazy inside and just fall head over heels. She sighed once more before she got up and she went into her pocket. She pulled out a candy stick and then she took a lighter. She looked around before taking a sheet of paper and just breaking the candy up into little small piees. She broke another one and then she put it in the paper before wrapping it up and lighting it. It was a habit she had learned in the ninth grade and she thought it was way better than smoking real ciggarettes or anything else. The candy aroma made her feel more better. She then just laughed to herself before wrapping her leg around the bar and flipping upside down. She looked around before taking another long puff of it. She threw it into the snow and threw some snow over it. Then she kept on hanging upside down like that until she heard the overhear system.

"Ms. Kaoru Kamiya please report to your class. I repeat Ms. Kaoru Kamiya please report to your class." Kaoru sat up before just going into the building. Then she opened the door and picked up a bunch of snow. She went down the hall to Katyli who was in a paint shirt and she shoved it down her back. Katyli squealed as Kaoru laughed and then she turned and glared.

"Kaoru you are so evil! It's so cold!" she began to jump as it fell onto the floor. Then she grabbed her hand.

"Let's go. I was sent to look for you." Kaoru nodded before she shook the snow off her shoe and let Katyli bring her down the hall. Kaoru saw her class before sighing.

"Thanks for showing me to class Katyli." she then saw Katyli's look and she smirked.

"See you at lunch?" she nodded before Kaoru entered the room.

"Kaoru where have you been?"

"Wandering. I got bored again." she saw Kenshin and Soujiro still sitting next to her. She then sat down and asked what they were suppose to do. Kenshin and Soujiro explained it to her. She stuck a piece of gum in her mouth.

"Thank you very much." she then turned back and just did it going ahead. Then she began to wander the internet. She sent Kenshin a funny thing and then he sent it to Soujiro.

"What's so funny? Perhaps you should share it with the class Ms. Kamiya."

"We all got the same dumb e-mail." Kaoru then sent another dumb thing to them and she went out of her e-mail. Then she looked around before putting her CD player in her ear. She began to sing the song low. Kenshin and Soujiro were doing their own thing, but they were listening. She was singing rap. Kenshin gasped at the words.

"I smack the bitch that talk shit
I kick the hoe who got to go
I stab the chick whos on his dick
'Cause son son know I don't play like that."

Aoshi had leaned over and tapped her because almost everybody had heard her. He told her to shut it off and she just changed the song. The bell rang and she got up and she left the room. Kenshin and Soujiro walked out with smirks.

"That girl is crazy."

Kaoru was in dance class with a white beater, some jeans, and her sneakers. She had changed her clothes and she was also wearing Kenshin's hat on her head. Aoshi eyed her funny as she was grinding into some boy that she didn't even know. The teacher had started the class already and he had came in to the music and Kaoru just pulled him in. Kenshin looked on with longing as she had her hair over her shoulder and she rocked his hat while grinding into that lucky boy. The song ended and then he shook her hand before Kaoru asked what was his name and what grade was he in. Then she whispered into his ear some words and he gave her a sexy smile before leaving. Kaoru and Katyli shivered.

"Mmmm his black hair, his blue-green eyes, he looks good Kaoru. But not as good as Kenshin."

"I know." Kaoru went to Kenshin before asking him where his sneakers were. He told her that they were in his locker and that he forgot where it was. Kaoru looked at the number before pulling him out. In the hallway they walked down the steps and then they went to his locker. The hallways were empty. Once they got to Kenshin's locker, Kenshin pushed her agaisnt it and began to kiss her. Kaoru was just in a little fairy land as he blew her away with is ice cold breath, colder than hers. Kenshin then head somebody coming and he let go.

"I had my brother open my locker this morning, so I don't really know how."

"Okay. Let me see..." Kenshin knew it was somebody who Aoshi had sent, so he waited for him to go back to the class before he opened it himself.

"Thanks. Now where were we?" Kenshin answered her question by pushing her up against he locker again. They kept kissing for another two minutes before they went back to class. Kenshin thanked her in the classroom and Kaoru told him 'No problem.' It was just a do whatever day, so Kaoru got to pick who she wanted to come up. She called up Kenshin, Katyli, and Soujiro. They went up to her and she told them what kind of moves they were gonna do. Kaoru slapped Megumi's hand away from the boom box and then she put in her own CD. Megumi glared at her finger moving left to right while she was moving away in a dance rhythm. Misao went up to Megumi and asked what was wrong as Kaoru had turned around and did a handstand before spinning and landing on her feet. Kenshin did the same before Soujiro did the same and then Katyli paused before doing it. Then Kaoru took the remote to the boom box and she put it on the third one. From there, Kaoru started off. Kenshin laughed at her before going up to her and pulling out his moves. They said 'oooo' as he pulled on her shirt and stuck his tongue out as 'eww'. Kaoru began to do the crazy walk before tapping his cheek and doing the Harlem Shake.

"Is this a dance off?!" the teacher yelled into a mic. They were having fun and just pulling out moves. Then, Kaoru saw her brother Shuichi and she just stopped fast and she went and she sat. The whole mood was ruined. Kaoru then pulled the hat off her head and she sat with an attitude as the others danced. She had her arms crossed and she was slumped in her chair. Her brother then walked away. Kaoru was mad that now she was on full watch. Katyli sat next to her before asking her what was wrong.

"I'm sick of being treated like a child."

Kaoru was in the gymroom at lunch. Since both the boys and girls class was outside jogging around, she had it all to herself and whoever else wanted to come in. She had a basketball and she was just dribbling the ball up and down the court, getting the feeling. She always wanted to play, but her father had told her no, so she never joined the team. But she was good enough to. Aoshi had taught her everything. Moves, defense, her shot, everything. But now, she didn't have anybody to play with. She saw Kenshin come into the gym with a basketball, in shorts and no shirt. He looked over at Kaoru before throwing the ball to her. She threw the other ball up, caught that one, and then got the other one. Kenshin gave her a 'oh you can play?' look. She smiled at him before bouncing the balls and seeing which was better. She threw her ball aside before throwing it back.

"Game to thirty. Ones and twos. You know the game, right?" he nodded before tying his shoes. Soujiro and Katyli came in and sat down to watch, drinking their sodas. Kaoru got the ball first. She just stood there as Kenshin threw his chain to Soujiro and got ready to play.

"Ready?"

"Yup." she shot the ball and it was in.

"Wow. Two points already." she laughed to herself before going down the court.

"Oh you wanna play like that? Let's play."

More kids had came in because they heard all the noise and they sat down. Half the crowd was for Kenshin, half the crowd was for Kaoru. Kaoru did a fast cross over and she got a mid-range shot. One point. They were tied-23 to 23 and it was getting competitive. Kenshin came down court slow and then he sped up fast and tried to dunk it. He got it in, but Kaoru and him and crashed into each other and fell. Kenshin helped her up before passing her the ball and going dow the court. Kaoru shook before going down the court. She knew Aoshi was watching her with Tara. The security guards couldn't do anything to stop the people that had came in. There was more and more until it was full. Kaoru got to half court and then Kenshin came up on her. She began to speed up and just try and cross him over. She went fast in and then did a backwards layup without looking. She gave him a look before she went down the court. Kenshin decided to switch the rules up since it wasn't working with one person. He told her to pick on person. She went up and she grabbed her sister. Kenshin saw Tommy outside the door just making noise and he pulled him in. Tommy went over.

"Kenshin that was embarassing! What happened?!"

" I got messed up I guess. Why are you here?"

"Soujiro called me and said there was a game. I'm on you team?" Kenshin nodded and he took off his shirt and his pants, leaving him in basketball shorts. He shook before taking off his hat, leaving him in a do-rag. Kenshin saw Kaoru's sister and then he gave them the ball and went back. It was back to 0-0.

Tara saw Kenshin come up on her and she smirked before doin a punk fake and faking him out. She then dribbled in and threw it to Kaoru who caught it and did a one handed dunk. She looked down at the floor before dusting it off and going back on defense.

"Tommy we're not gonna let them do this to us." Tommy nodded before going down for the dunk. Kenshin dribbled down and threw it to him. Tara ran up and she jumped and caught it before Kaoru ran down. She threw it down and then Kaoru saw it bounce and she grabbed it and did another dunk that made her brothers jump with the rest of the crowd. The teachers were starting to come in. Tommy threw it to Kenshin and Kenshin did a windmill dunk before hanging upside down and doing crunches. Tara felt like he was taunting so she whispered to Kaoru. Kaoru nodded before they came up and began to play tight defense. Tara had quick feet so she crossed Tommy before going up and throwing the ball up and over. Kaoru caught it and did the same before Tara came back and used Kenshin's shoulder as a lift and she dunked it. She stood up on the rim and then she threw her shirt round and round as the crowd got pumped up before getting down and jumping to Kenshin.

"You can't stop me boy! I can't be stopped!"

The game was tied and nobody was making any points. It was just moves and everytime they went up, it was blocked hard. Then they finally heard the second bell to show they had missed a class. But they didn't care. It wasn't getting anywhere. Finally Kaoru whispered to Tara. They were playing tight defense again. Kaoru had ran, stopped and switched hands. Then Tara saw her opening for the two and she caught the ball and show it. It was like slow motion.

"Go in... go in..."

"Bounce... bounce...." the crowd fell silent and then swish!

"WE WON!" the crowd began to make noise. Tara jumped up and down with Kaoru and they saw Kenshin and Tommy come over with a smile.

"Good game. I like that last shot." Tommy and Tara shook hands and then he shook Kaoru's. Kenshin did the same. Then he got his things and he went up to Tara and he gave her a sheet of paper.

"You two come to this. It's a girl basketball thing. It's in Taran Street Park. Just come by and tell them your with 'Tarantula.' You'll be let in and then your gonna be put into tournaments. It's on Saturday. You up for it?" the two nodded before Tommy grabbed his pen in his pants pocket and wrote down their names and age.

"I'll make sure your on the same team. You two sisters?" they nodded again and then he put his hat on Tara's head.

"This hat says 'Number one' Rock it for me." she nodded before he and Kenshin did their special Handshake and he left. Tara and Kaoru went into the locker room for a shower and then the coach came up to Kaoru.

"Why are you not on my team?"

"My father told me no. He wants me to keep playing piano."

"I see... wait one minute." she went into her office.

"Kaoru what's your lucky number?"

"Seven." she then saw a uniform threw to her and a practice uniform. She held the metallic blue and gold uniform and then she was thrown a hoodie and a chain with the number seven.

"Your on the team now. And if daddy has a problem, let daddy come to me. We need that teamwork." Kaoru smiled and then she nodded.

"These are new and you keep these. So when this whole thing is over, don't just throw it away. You'll be here next year and we're switching up our colors, so these will be for the classic game." Kaoru nodded again before she put it away and went to take a shower. She was happy as hell and then she got dressed in the clothes she was wearing that day. Then she saw her sister jump and hug her. Kaoru put on the necklace.

"There's practice today Kaoru. So I want you here to show them what you have. Most people don't think you can do it." Kaoru nodded before they left the gym. Kenshin ran up to her.

"Yo Kaoru they put me on the basketball team!"

"Awesome Kenshin!" she hugged him and then Soujiro came out.

"Thank god I didn't play. They are still asking Tommy to play for the school since the one we use to go to doesn't have a team yet." They saw Tommy come out holding a uniform. He sighed.

"I'm on the team. And their transferring me here as of today." they cheered for him.

"I know. But what will I tell me boyz back at the street? The college?"

"You only had two boyz in the school and they moved already." Kenshin laughed a Tommy hit him playfully.

"Well gotta go. Peace." he walked out the school before Aoshi came out. He saw Tara's new hat.

"Who gave that to you?"

"Nobody. It's mine." and with that she and Kaoru went off. Kenshin and Soujiro went the other way.

Kaoru and her father were on bad terms as soon as she got home from practice. He knew she was playing basketball just by the way she was sweating.

"Kaoru where were you?"

"I was at Tara's practice. I decided to stay." Her father went up to her and sniffed her.

"Since when do you wear cologne?"

"I got a hug from Mr. Summers after school because he saw me at lunch playing."

"Why do I not believe you?"

"Because you can't trust me." and with that she walked past him with Tara and went up the steps.

"Kaoru get down here right now!" but she didn't answer him. She went to Yahiko's room and heard him throwing a tandrum once again. She went to her room and dropped her things before going down the hall to his room. She entered the room and she saw him just going nuts and banging and kicking on his bed. She went over and she then saw the note on his bed. He had gotten in trouble again. She went and she read the front of the note.

Today Yahiko got into another fight with a little boy at our pre-school. We don't know what was the reason, but some of the students say that Yahiko and the other boy were fighting over his toy. I honestly don't know, but the reason I am sending this note is because he punched the little boy in his face and threw him down. Their parents were most upset and I talked to his sister, but I just wanted to send this note home.

-Mrs. Conner-O'hare

Kaoru then went into his bookbag and she pulled out his black book. She sat down on the floor and she looked at what the other teacher had wrote. She saw the whole thing. The other kid had started by pulling the toy and Yahiko hit him with he kicked him and called him stupid. 'Why is that she never tells the other teacher? Is she scared or something?' Kaoru put the book down and then she picked up Yahiko. She saw all his toys were gone. ALL OF THEM.

"Yahiko tell me what happened."

"Daddy took all my toys and Shuichi and Aoshi told me to stay in here! Michael started it! He tried to take my GI Joe that Kenshin's daddy came and brought to the school for me!" Kaoru hugged him and then she wiped his tears before carrying down the hall to her bedroom. She went into her closet and then she pulled out all her cars and her race set. She set it up before she put batteries inside and let Yahiko play. He had lowered down to being silent as he watched the cars go around and hit each other. Shuichi came into the room and then he saw Yahiko playing with the toys. He picked him up and then Yahiko began to cry again. Kaoru stopped reading her book and she went out into the hall to grab Yahiko back.

"Leave Yahiko alone. I talked to him and he knows what he did wrong. And it's not his fault anyway!"

"Why do you constantly interfere when we're trying to discipline him!"

"Because you should know Yahiko as the type not to do anything unless he is provoked! So leave him with me! He was quiet wasn't he?!" Shuichi then went into her room and broke apart the racing set and put it in her little case and took the cars away as well.

"He can stay with you, but no toys."

"I said he could play with them. They are mine."

"I don't care! Kaoru where do you get off trying to discipline him in your own way?! Your too soft on him!"

"I AM NOT!" she looked down at her feet and saw her shoes were on. She then looked at Yahiko's feet and his shoes were on. She told him to go into her room as she went back and pulled.

"Give me my cars!"

"No! You'll give them back to him!"

"Give me my fucking toys!" Shinji and the others had heard the commotion and looked to see what was going on. He heard the language and then Shuichi threw them all into the laundry shoot in the hallway.

"Take your fucking toys." Kaoru was upset. She then went into Yahiko's room and she took his jacket and his hat. She went back to her room and then she put them on him. He was still crying. She put on her coat and then she went out of the room and she carried him.

"Kaoru put him down!" Shinji and the others went after her. They pulled him back and he kept on crying. She took some keys and then she kicked her brother down before going out of the house and placing him in the benz. He was still crying as she buckled him into his seat. She went back up the steps and then she got her bookbag. They pulled her back. Kaoru struck back hard and said, 'get the hell off of me! I'm leaving!" she pushed her brother off and then she went down the steps and she went to the car. She placed their bookbags on the passenger side before picking up her phone and calling Kenshin. She had wrote it down on her arm after school.

"Where do you live?"

Yahiko was sitting and playing cars with Takashi and Tai. Kaoru was sitting there, pissed off to the ceiling on his couch. She looked up at the ceiling as her CD played in her ears. Netalia was there and she was playing cards with Soujiro. Kenshin went to Kaoru and he sat down in her lap. She couldn't help but smile.

"Your heavy."

"All muscle sugar." he then stretched and he pretended to be asleep. Kaoru laughed and then he got up and Tai got up from playing cars and put on the radio. He heard one of his new favorite songs. He, Kenshin, and Soujiro began to just stand there and bounce. Kaoru laughed before they leaned back and then did their handshake and sat. The doorbell rang and then Netalia went and she answered it.

"Tommy baby."

"My sugar mommy." Kaoru widened her eyes as she saw the two kissing in the doorway.

"You go out with Tommy?" she nodded before hugging up against him and letting him stick his tongue out at her.

"Netalia is my chick. Right baby?" she nodded before he hung up his coat. He was dressed in party clothes.

"Where are you going?"

"Kenshin tell me you didn't tell Kaoru about the party tonight." Kenshin hit himself on the forehead and the he turned to Kaoru.

"Kaoru there's this banging party tonight at Club Flonei. It's one of my friend's birthday and he's throwing a big ass party. Everybody is going. Even Katyli. You wanna go? Your sister is going."

"Oh yeah. But Yahiko."

"My father is babysitting our baby cousin. He's Yahiko's age. They'll have fun. Let me call your sister... but what about the other sister Tara?"

"Oh! Can she go? She deserves it. And she can dance. Do you guys know a boy named Lexin?"

"Lexin Sandirs?" she nodded.

"Oh yeah. It's his birthday." he picked up the phone and he called her.

"Genia you still going to the party?... Go to somewhere private for a minute..." he waited until he heard a door close.

"Can you bring some clothes for Kaoru? She's going. And tell Tara to come too. Sneak her out if you have to. He would love to see her again."

"(Sigh) why do you do this to me?... but alright. What about Yahiko?"

"I have a cousin his age and he's coming over to spend the night. He can play with him... yeah. Tell Tara to dress nice for her man. Peace." he hung it up and then he looked at Kaoru's nervous look.

"What's up with the look?"

"I'm nervous because... i'm about to disobey daddy. For the second time today." she then got a smile.

"Ah I feel good."

Kaoru hugged up on Kenshin as they arrived at the club. Tara was anxious to see her boyfriend. When she got in there, she called out to him. Kaoru looked over to see a brunette running over. Lexin was Puerto Rican American with bright gray eyes and a body of an athlete. He picked her up as he hugged her and then he gave her a kiss.

"Glad you could come. You and me are gonna have fun." she smiled before they followed him to put up their coats in his special room. They immediately went out onto the floor. Genia and Netalia just went out and decided to take over.

"Kaoru! Come join in!" Kaoru smiled at Kenshin before telling him to watch. Katyli was pulled out by Kaoru and they went and were in a small circle. Lexin pushed Kaoru in and the five just began to dip. They got their eagle on and just began to just wind up and down. Then they moved away and Kenshin went up onto Kaoru and began to grind into her. She smirked at him before grinding back at him. Genia cheered her sisters on as Tara was doing the same thing. Kaoru turned to face him and then he put his left around around her waist and dip and rise up. Soujiro and Katyli were doing their own thing. The music was just making everybody dance. It was more of a Rap and R&B party then an all around. There was also club music in it.

Kaoru and her sister were just taking over the dance floor. Everybody was surrounded around them as they just began to do different moves. Tara saw and she pushed through and jumped in so it was a sister thing. Tara then went up on some boy standing in the front and she put her hands on her knees and got low rising up slow. She then smirked as she went back. Kaoru did the same thing to Lexin and she saw his shocked look. They pulled him in and they began to dance up on him. Then they just went away and went back to dancing all around the club. Kenshin held Kaoru with skill as she went wild and crazy into him.

"That's how you do it! Handle your chick!" Soujiro cheered as he held a bottle in his hand, dancing with Katyli.

Kaoru went up on one of the stages and she saw a pole. Katyli went up there with her. They held the poles and then just began to dance. Tara and a mexican girl went up there and they closed it as 'Hey Lady' from 'Cam'rom' came on. Kaoru had chagned out of her jeans and was wearing a skirt now. She had gotten hot, so Genia had brought a back up for her just in case. Her hair was down now and her wife beater was just at her hip. Her hair was down now. She turned and she smiled at Kenshin before she went away like the others and she pushed Kenshin up to a wall, grinding into him. He was shocked, but it turned into excitement as she brushed up against him.

"Whoo you are one wild cat!" she smiled at him before he turned it and let her feel the chill of the wall. They began to grind and just kiss against the wall. Then Kenshin was called by Tai for the car keys so he went away. Kaoru sat at the bar watching some of the guys. She saw the same guy from school and she sat in his lap.

"Hey Lance. Remember me?" he looked up at her wide eyed as she began to dance in his lap. She put a finger to her lip before putting it in his drink and then swirling it around her lip and sticking it in her mouth. She gave him a seductive look as she let it go and then gave him a kiss. She got up and left him in a daze. Then Kenshin pulled her up to him. Lance went over and then whispered in Kenshin's ear. Kenshin nodded his heat and then Kaoru was sandwiched. They held her hands up as she was grinded into from both ways. As the song ended, they pulled away. Kaoru was left in a daze as the two men shook hands.

"Oh! It's that time! Shake shake!" Kaoru cheered with the others as they began to just began to Harlem shake. There was a circle around Genia and Netalia who were just killing it and making a scene. Kaoru and Tara jumped in. Then it was a family affair as both families jumped in. Tommy felt left out so he jumped in the middle and did it fast as they had stopped. As soon as he popped his collar, they went nuts.

"OOOOOOOOOOO!" Netalia and Genia began to laugh with Kaoru and Tara as he showed off and then bowed like a gentlemen.

"He is nuts!" Tara then saw Lexin just come in and go up to Tommy.

"You think you the big thing? Watch this." he began to do it just as fast as him and he did the retarded walk before letting himself go low. He pulled himself up by his collar before going fast again. Tommy felt like it was a challenge and then he began to walk with his arms swinging before he tapped both his cheeks and took a step back before going fast and then getting on his knees and doing it the same way. He jumped up before going slow and then speeding up. Kenshin was jumping and yelling.

"That's my boy! That's my boy! I taught him that! I taught him all he knows! Show em' son!"

Kaoru was back up on the floor with Kenshin, just grinding hard. Genia then saw Kenshin pull her into his lap as he sat and Kaoru began to kiss him. She cheered them on. Kaoru let go before looking into his eyes. She then shook her head before kissing him again. Kenshin slipped his hands behind her and went up her shirt. The coolness of his hands made her shudder into his mouth as their tongues battled. Kenshin then moved his hands to the front and he slipped them under the bra and he touched her. She gasped into his mouth as he tweaked and rubbed his thumb across. Genia went with a camera and she went on the side before saying 'Smile!' Kenshin and Kaoru just opened their eyes low and looked at the camera as she took the picture. Genia then laughed to herself as she went to look for more couples. Kenshin let go and he just began to give her short kisses before Kaoru got tired of it and she whined. He smiled up at her before shutting his eyes and just kissing her deeply
Kaoru yawned. She was tired. They were driving home. Tara promised that she would call Lexin and he promised he would pick her up from practice and take her to get something to eat, so she was happy. She snuggled up against her sister as Genia was driving them to the Himura residents. She parked up in their driveway before getting out and letting Kenshin out. They went up to the house and then checked the time. It was well around two. Tara dropped onto the couch and stretched out. Genia went and she got Yahiko. Kaoru and Kenshin were still kissing once they had got into the house. Kenshin had her sitting in his lap on an arm chair.

"You drive me crazy Kaoru, you know that?" all she could say was 'mmmm' as he kissed her again. Genia pulled her away.

"Aw Genia I was just feeling sleepy." Genia smiled before she put on Kaoru's jacket. Tara got up and she put on her coat as well and then she told them all by and nice meeting. She went into the car and she helped Yahiko get into his chair. Kaoru hugged Kenshin and gave him a kiss before exiting the house. Tommy hugged up on Kenshin and waved as they reversed out.

"Tommy what is the deal? Go home already."

"I'm sleeping here tonight. No way in hell mom-dukes is gonna let me in."

After taking baths in the pool house, they were ready to go in. Tara had climbed up her window and she and slipped into her pajamas. Then she did something sneaky. She lowered down a basket on a rope, big enough to put Yahiko in. It was dangerous, but well worth it. Tara pulled it up slowly and pull by pull he went higher. Finally, he was in and she gave a thumbs up before shutting her window. Kaoru and Genia went in through the front door. They put in the alarm fast and then they shut the door. They tiptoed up the steps before going to their rooms. Kaoru gave her a peace sign and then she went in and she changed.

"KAORU ANNALISE KAMIYA, TARA ALEXANDIA KAMIYA, AND GENIA SENDI KAMIYA GET YOUR BEHINDS DOWNSTAIRS BEFORE I COME UP THERE!" they met up in the hallway.

"Fuck. He was sitting in the chair. He must have been watching us." Tara shivered in fear.

"He sounds angry."

"We got you. Don't show fear." Tara nodded before getting brave and confident as they went down the steps. Aoshi, Shuichi, and Daddy Shinji were sitting there, looking tired as ever.

"Where is Yahiko?"

"Upstairs."

"Wake him up and bring him here." they went back up the steps and then they went into his room. They woke him up and then he looked at them. He was in black teddy bear pajama pants and his matching white shirt.

"Yahiko listen to your sisters, alright?" he nodded.

"If daddy asks you where we went, what do you say?"

"You went to Genia's school for a basketball game!" he said it proudly. They smiled. He still remembered.

"And where did Tara go?"

"Tara went to her friend's house for movie night and she fell asleep." they nodded again before picking him up and carrying him down the steps. Genia held him under her arm and he laughed.

"This feels funny Geni!" he laughed again before they all sat down on the other side. Yahiko sat on Kaoru's lap since she was in the middle. Kaoru let her fingers go through his hair and he said 'mmmmmm!' happily. Shinji gave his youngest child a smile.

"How did you sleep baby boy?"

"Good!"

"What did you do?"

"I was at Kevin's house playing games!"

"Who is Kevin?"

"My new friend!" Yahiko said with a smile. Shinji smile again.

"Now I want you to tell me the truth. Where did your sisters go?" Yahiko told them what he was suppose to say.

"Yahiko are you telling the truth?" Yahiko kept on nodding. He was gonna break unde the pressure.

"Yahiko. You don't want to get in their punishment. Now are you lying?" he hesitated before shaking his head 'no.' Shinji knew he was lying.

"Alright. Come over here and sit on Aoshi's lap." Yahiko clung onto Kaoru. He didn't want to go to his 'mean old brother Aoshi'

"Yahiko on the count of three. One... two...." Yahiko got down and went over. Aoshi held him in his lap as Shinji looked back at his three girls.

"Now Genia let me ask this question. Why is there a hickey on your neck?"

"Kaoru did it." Shinji gave a 'say what' look. The other two did as well.

"I had dared her in the car to give it to me while we were driving there. I said she wasn't wild enough and then she just-did this." Genia let her hair down. Kaoru gave a slick smirk as she nodded and bit her lip.

"Okay then. Now I know you guys told Yahiko to lie. So whatever punish you guys get, he's gonna work with you." they sighed. They were so close to getting home free.

"Now I know where you were. For the simple face Shuichi's friend was there. Anybody know a boy named Marshall?" Genia gasped.

"I'll kill the m-" Kaoru covered her mouth with her hair covering her eyes.

"Don't say it. We might as well just ask for a month if you say that one word." Genia sighed before she let go of her mouth. Tara pulled some hair behind her ear before giving a sigh.

"Now I know you were at that party tonight. The one that I told Geniashe wasn't suppose to go to. Isn't that right?"

"Yes but-"

"Okay. So that was a lie whatever Yahiko told me. And I know Kaoru was there as well because you were nowhere to be found."

"I was but-"

"Be quiet." he looked at Tara.

"You were there too. Because there is no way in hell you were at a friend's house. You would have been home by eleven." Tara opened her mouth to speak but she shut it again.

"Oh? You have some words? Let's hear why you went. I want to hear this most of all because you shocked me."

"I.. I went because it was for Lexin. It was his birthday."

"I FORBID YOU TO SEE THAT RIFTRAFT!"

"But daddy he isn't a riftraft! He's just like Aoshi! He isn't what you think he is!"

"Silence! Don't you dare try to tell me different when I caught him in the act!" Tara was hurt by his words.

"Now Genia. Let me ask why you went when I said not to go!"

"Because Lexin had asked me to go. I'm his best friend. He said it would have meant a lot to him."

"Bullshit." Aoshi covered Yahiko's ears.

"He honestly wanted me to. I was there with Netalia and Tai."

"Those Himura kids?! I said not to hang out with them!"

"But they are the oldest! They've always lived here in the hills! Honestly!" Shinji gave her a look.

"I could care less. Their not a good influence. And that black boy you hang with? Tobby?"

"Tommy." Kaoru, Tara, and Genia corrected him.

"Oh so you know him? All three of you? Well I don't want you hanging out with him either. I saw him running from the cops. The boy is bad news. Him and your so called boyfriend Lexin. Not good news at all."

"But daddy their good people. It's just where they live. Honest." Kaoru and Tara nodded.

"If they didn't live there, they wouldn't do that stuff." Kaoru added.

"Oh yeah! I forgot about you. You are in big trouble anyway! That basketball game in the school? I heard the whole eleventh grade and half of the ninth and twelth were in there! You held up all school! Are you crazy? Do you know how many teachers called this house? And you were playing with that Himura boy and that Tommy kid! Didn't I say no?" Kaoru didn't answer.

"Exactly. You disobey. And don't tell me that the hickey is from your sister. I know you were with that Himura boy. And i'm gonna break his neck." he took her cellphone from her coat pocket.

"Daddy don't!" Kaoru heard Kenshin's voice.

"Hello Kenshin? It's Kaoru's father. Now unless you don't want to see your dear girlfriend buried under dirt, you are going to bring your ass over here." he hung it up before putting it back.

"But daddy you just don't understand him! He is a really nice boy once you get to know him! He defended me!"

"I dont' care if he saved the world! I don't trust him nor do I like his attitude! I hear about him! And I refuse to have this go on any longer! This won't go on any longer!" Kaoru sat down and she put her face in her hands before hearing the doorbell. She ran up to it, but her father pushed her aside and opened it.

"Kenshin go!" Kenshin ducked at his pulled back fist and then Shinji stopped as he saw his father standing there.

"Takashi."

"Shinji." he stood up straight before turning and going back into the room. Kaoru let them in and then she shut the door before going back and sitting down. Kenshin and his father gave each other looks.

"Kenshin when we get home, I am going to talk to you about which girls you talk to. This is the first father that wants to kill you." Kenshin sighed and said 'yes dad' before they went in and they sat down. Kaoru picked up Yahiko and put him back in her lap. She felt him cling to her and she shifted her body a litle before holding him.

"Now." he turned to Kenshin and he looked him dead in the eye.

"Didn't I say to her today that I didn't want her to be around you?"

"Yes but-"

"Answer the question." Kenshin sighed.

"Yes sir." he looked down at the floor.

"And didn't I say that I didn't want you to see her? Not to mess around with her?"

"Yes sir."

"Then why is there a hickey on her neck!" he hit the table and Kenshin winced slightly, still looking at the floor. He felt bad that he was getting her in trouble.

"I... I did it sir. It's my fault. So any kind of anger (sigh) should be taken out on me." Shinji eyed him evilly.

"And I smell cologne in her clothes. Whos is it?"

"It's probably mine. We were... dancing together... all through the party."

"You were dancing!" he laughed.

"But didn't I say not to hang around her? You didn't hear her brother in the hallway talking to her?"

"I did sir... But I just can't obey those commands." Shinji looked at him.

"You can't obey? And who do you think you are? The president of the united states?"

"No. I'm.." he looked up proud.

"I'm Kenshin Connor Takashi Himura. And i'm sorry Mr. Kamiya. But I really like your daughter." he looked at her and gave her a smile.

"I can't help this feeling I get when i'm around her. She's just so different from the other girls. She's not one who just wants a man just to have one. She's smart, she's independent, she intelligent, she's athletic," he looked at her again.

"And she is so beautiful." he saw her blush and he looked back.

"I don't know why i'm attracted to her, but it's just this feeling that won't go away. She makes me feel so good. And I honestly apologize from the bottom of my heart, but I won't stop seeing her. You can have a restraining order to stop it, but I really like her. Even if I met a few days ago, she's just been so positive to me when everybody else was negative. So... you can do what you want to me, but I won't stop."

Shinji was amazed at how he talked to him. He talked to him like a man. But, he still had a problem of disobeying. So he made a resolution.

"Alright. Takashi can you see me out there? Aoshi and Shuichi you come as well." they left the room and Shinji shut the door. Kaoru went to Kenshin and she hugged him tight.

"Oh Kenshin thank you." he rubbed her back before she let go and went back to her side. Genia had gotten down on the floor and she went to the door and pressed her ear to it. She could hear them talking. Then she jumped back into her seat. Shinji was nowhere to be seen as the others came back into the room. Takashi shook Aoshi and Shuichi's hand. Then Shinji came down the steps with a big old bookbag. He opened it to Kaoru and she gasped as she saw her clothes in there. School clothes and house clothes combined. Then he put them down and he let his bag with shoes drop.

"You are going to get out of here for a while. I need time to think. You are rebelling like your mother use to in college." he then pulled her up and he shook her hand.

"All in favor of Kaoru leaving, say 'OI!'"

"OI!" Shuichi and Aoshi said with a smile. Yahiko said 'OI!'

"Yahiko you want me to go?" she asked him shocked.

"No I just like the sound." he said happily.

"Well I say 'OI!' and Yahiko doesn't count. So it's three to two. Bye bye Kaoru. See you in a few days." he hugged her and then he gave her a kiss before he pushed her into Takashi's arms. Kaoru was still shocked as he picked her up and put her over his shoulder. Yahiko was waving bye with his two sisters sadly, as her brothers had a smirk and waved to her. Shinji picked up Yahiko and waved to her.

"You can't do this to me! You can't do this to me! I'm the good one! You can't send me away! What about my say?!"

"You don't have one! Call me Takashi! We should go party sometime!"

"Okay!" Takashi put her in the backseat and she began to curse out and bang as they got in and reversed out.

"That's cruel! I hate you daddy! I really do now!" they waved. Genia held Yahiko as he began to cry. She felt bad. They kept on waving as the car went off down the street and around the corner.

"Ooo girl you are about to have you some work. See Kenshin still is on punishment. And you are gonna do his work with him.
