Me: (slams head down on computer desk) People seem to keep getting confused.
Ariel: So un-confuse them! DUH!
Me: (raspberries her) WHAT THE! OH SHIT! Heh, sorry. Almost dropped my got buttery cinnamon toast on my new jeans. That would not be good...nope, not at all. Anywho...allow me to elaborate: BattousaiAlive, His kinder half...known in this story as Kenshin non-living/conscience, Nikki dead, Spatialdead, Kaorualive, YahikoAlive/Kaoru's little bro, Sanoalive/kind of Kaoru's older bro, MisaoAlive/ Kaoru's best friend, Megumialive/ Kaoru's friend, coming soon...Enishialive/ Battousai's, Kenshin's, Kaoru's, and Spatial's enemy/ Nikki's murderer(so I guess that would make him her enemy too), Soujiro alive/doctor/brings Spatial, Kenshin, and Nikki back to life. (Sighs) Sorry for any confusion, That should explain most of it...I hope. Yes, this is a BattsXKao fic, thanks for the constructive criticism, and thanks for reviewing. But remember people..while I do appreciate constructive criticism(cause it tells me how I can improve), I tend to get irritated when I get bunches of it so as a fair warning before you people go filling your reviews with criticism...I am menstrual right now...so if you know what's good for you, don't mess with me. Again, Mr. Ryushi knows all too well. (Sighs) Sorry to the men and women who are permanently scarred from that statement.
TIME FOR: YOU GUESSED! REVIEW RESPONSES! WOOOOOOO!
Universal Fighter- Yes you did say that last time. Yes I know it rocks...thanks. And as answered up there...this is a KnK fic, 'cept it's the evil half(if you wanna call Battousai evil). Have a nice day, don't pick on your little siblings, it's perfectly fine to do so to the older ones, don't stuff marshmallows up your nose, don't eat a quarter(it hurts going down: I know from personal experience), don't wear lip gloss while cutting wood (the saw dust is almost impossible to get off..again, personal experience), and have a nice day!
Violet Eyes- Thank-you for telling me how to improve (bows) I don't get enough of that these days. I will try to add more details...but that's the worst part for me. I HATE writing details and thus, I suck and grammar. (Sighs) I will try to make them longer it's just that I like to update frequently(unless I have authoress's block...which is a bitch(pardon that word)) and my mom often kicks me off when I'm in the middle so I have to shorten it up. Yes, as a reviewer request, I will check out your fics, though I highly doubt that they suck. You haven't seen any story that sucks until you read Casey's (who's a kid in my English class) or Lacey's (again English class) We had to sit for 15 minutes listening to her ramble out some essay about how Halloween was a pagan Christian ritual when we really were supposed to be doing a scary story instead. (Sigh) I can relate to the title: WHY ME!
(Spell check here I come)xmiahimex- (see above) And now, let us recap...hold on a sec. Lemme shut off my Media Player Metallica can get pretty distracting, we've met Kaoru and we've gone through her daily schedule, in chapter one we started with her waking up and going to school, in which she was again late, so Sano burst the bubble on her being late, causing her to get a detention. Skip study hall...looking back on it, it was pretty much useless. At lunch we've established the fact that school food sucks, and so does the pudding at my school. We've also established the fact that Kaoru and Misao like throwing stuff over their shoulder and they always end up hitting either Aoshi or Battousai, the new kids of the school. In chapter 3, we've established the fact that Nikki was murdered at a young age and that Spatial died of natural causes at a young age too. We've also established that Yahiko is Kaoru's younger brother and that Kaoru's mom is having Battousai and his sensei over for dinner and the fact that Kaoru and Battousai know eachother. YEAH! I always rocked at summaries in English. Thanks for reviewing! I hope this makes it better for you. And as promised earlier, I will try to add more detail...I just suck at that stuff.
Spatial- Actually it was none. It was the dreaded (whispering) PMS (dives under a table) It tends to make me hyper...don't ask why. It just does. And a 20 oz. Cherry Pepsi. And a small Cherry Coke, and two glasses of Pepsi at Hooters. (Smiles reaaaal big)
Kawaii Sess68- YAY! Two people who think Sess is kawaii! (Hugs) And did you mean that in a good way or a bad way? Either way is fine with me. (Shrugs) I get both at school so many times I can actually quote who said it and how they said it. But that's alright because that means I have an active imagination. At least...that's what the school psychologist says. LOL kidding, I don't see any psychologist, let alone the school's.
fire-fox-smile 123- Let's see, that's two people who have fallen out of their chairs reading my stories...wait, no three, I forgot one. I hope you didn't hurt yourself. And I hope your family didn't think you were crazy...or are you one of the lucky ones who has their own computer in their own rooms? And does your pen name relate to Shippo from Inuyasha or Hiei and Kurama from Yu-Yu-Hakusho? Don't worry, there'll be more Missouri phobia. Yup, plenty more.
Evil-chan- Is that better? Thanks for the congrats and a Quiz Bowl is when teams from a bunch of different schools get together and they have a tournament in which they answer a question about anything and everything under the sun and the team with the most points wins. (Smiles) And I don't give a bloody damn if you do do it too often...I'VE UPDATED! WOO!
"We're all gonna die." Nikki says. She was floating Indian-style behind Kaoru, with her elbow resting on her knee and her chin resting in the palm of her hand looking like this: -.-.
"Really?" Spatial asks sitting up straight, she was floating upside down and counting the number of specks on the ceiling. She had gotten up to 1680 before Nikki made that little remark. "It's about time too." This causes Nikki to go into a fit of giggles. Spatial turns back upside down and begins counting all over again.
"Hey Spatial." Nikki calls to get her attention.
"Hm?"
"I'm getting a strange sense of foreshadowing." Spatial turns upright again.
"Hey Nikki,"
"Hm?"
"Me too."
Back with the living:
Everything was pretty much silent except for the occasional clang of silverware being sat down on a plate or bowl and a "Please pass the " Yahiko, who was sitting in between his mother and Kaoru, begins slicing a butter knife through the air. After a couple minutes of him doing this, Kaoru slams a fork full of mashed potatoes down on her plate and glares at him.
"What are you doing?" she asks, thoroughly ticked.
"I'm cutting the tension with a knife." Kaoru sighs and resumes eating. After a few more minutes of silence, Kaoru's mother sighs and sets her fork down. She takes the napkin off her lap and wipes off her mouth.
"Well someone might as well break the ice and it might as well be me." she says, placing the napkin back on her lap, "I mean, I'm used to being a hostess as part of my late husband's work." she babbles on.
"Mom." Kaoru hisses, "Stop."
"No I will not stop Kaoru, I've head enough silence and it's all I can take." Kaoru groans and puts her head in her hands, "It's only an intricate part of your life when you're the wife of a-then again, I forgot...I'm not supposed tell you who I really am."
"I know who you are." Hiko says, smirking behind his fork full of turkey and gravy (hey! Back off! It's close to Thanksgiving.) Kaoru's mom slams her fork down on her plate.
"How do you know who I am?" Hiko just smirks.
"Well aren't you going to tells us?" Kaoru says, giving him a so-you-think-you-know-it-all smirk.
"Kaoru," her mother hissed, "Don't antagonize a guest." Battousai throws down his napkin.
"Well I'm thirsty and I could use another drink. So if you don't mind Mrs. Kamiya, I'll just go get another one." Mrs. Kamiya nods(still need name for her).
"Kaoru, go show him where the kitchen is." Muttering profound curses under her breath, Kaoru gets up and leads Battousai through a swinging door and into the kitchen.
"What would you like?" she growls. He leans up against the counter and smirks.
"Water's fine." Kaoru sighs and opens up the refrigerator and pulls out a pitcher of water. She holds out her hand for him to give her the glass but naturally, he doesn't.
"You want it," he says, holding it above her head, "Come get it." Kaoru glares at him and reaches for it, but he moves it out of her reach.
"Give me it." she growls. To any man other than the Battousai, she would be considered threatening, but to him, right now, she was just another little play toy.
"I don't think so." he says moving closer to her. She slams down the pitcher and rests her hands on her hips.
"I loathe you." she says. Battousai smirks and moves closer still, until they were about two inches apart.
"I loathe you too." he says, his voice softer this time.
"Well," Kaoru was at a loss for words. God he was hot. (Raise your hands if you're drooling! I know I am! (Raises her hand)) "I loathed you first." Smooth Kaoru, smooth. Yup, no hint that the fact that he was this close to you was making you nervous.
"Oh really?" he raises an eyebrow and leans in closer. 'Come on Kaoru, move.' her mind was telling her. But she couldn't. Battousai leans in and kisses her (Me: (sighs) This early?). Kaoru just stands there in pure shock. Her mind was screaming at her to pull apart but her heart was telling her not to. Dammit all anyway. Nikki and Spatial walk into the kitchen talking about how cute and funny and smiley Soujiro is (Me: WHAT! Back off!) That is, until they see Kaoru and Battousai. They walk backwards out of the kitchen in unison, jaws dropped and eyes wide. Akld-HOLEE CRAP! Sorry, sorry, completely sorry. Geez Louise. That was the pager for the fire house...very loud. Scared the shit out of me, nearly killed me. Anyways, back to the story. Kaoru finally manages to break the kiss apart.
"What the hell!" she yells at him, her eyes livid. Battousai smirks.
"You didn't like it?"
"No as a matter of fact, I did not!" she turns around, her back facing him. He walks up behind her and slaps her ass.
"You know you did."
SMACK! Kaoru storms out of the kitchen her face red and her teeth clenched in anger.
"Mother," she says with as polite of a tone as she could muster, "Little brother, guest," she nods toward Hiko, "I am going to bed. Leave me alone if...you...want...to...live." She motions for Nikki and Spatial to follow and they do.
Upstairs:
Kaoru yanks open the door and allows Nikki and Spatial to pass through before slamming it shut so hard, that the pictures outside in the hallway fall down.
"Kaoru," Nikki says, twirling a pencil in between her fingers, "I'm getting the slightest feeling that you're not happy."
"Ya think?" Kaoru raises her eyebrows in a sarcastic way and flops onto her bed. She reaches underneath her head and pull out a pillow.
"If you'll excuse me." she says, nodding two her two companions. They nod back and she slams the pillow into her face and screams into it with all of her might. She pulls the pillow off her face and lets out a deep sigh. Nikki was right, this did make you feel better.
"Feel better?" Spatial asks, patting Kaoru on the shoulder.
"Yes, much." No matter how hard she tried, Kaoru couldn't stop thinking about him. Battousai. How warm he felt. How soft his lips were(DAMMIT! THERE I GO AGAIN! GIGGLE FEST U.S.A.! RIGHT HERE IN MY LIVING ROOM! Ahem, anyone who's read Where's My Shonen Jump (one of my other fanfics) knows I have a problem with giggling while I'm typing up romance scenes. Just ask Spatial, or Ryushi Nagami. They'll tell you so.)and how gentle his kiss was. Her face felt like it was on fire now so she recovered it with a pillow, so her ghost companions could not see her blushing like mad. Tonight was going to be a looooooong night.
Me: (sighs) I hope this was better. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go shake the cramps out of my hand. (Begins shaking her hand furiously) Ow, ow, ow.
Ariel: (sighs) Please R and R.
Me: I would only do this for you guys, my loyal reviewers. Never my teachers. Only you guys. (Gives cookies of your choice)
