Disclaimer: I would give my right arm to own RK, but alas, I do not.
A.N. Woot! Chapter four! I hope it's alright. Not QUITE as funny as some of the previous chapters have been, but still a decent chapter I guess.
All you writers know how it is, you're your own worst critic.
Anyways, enjoy, R&R!

A Forgotten Night
Chapter 4
Kaoru silently slipped out of her hotel room and clutched Kenshin's shirt close to her. In the safety of the hallway she allowed herself to burst out laughing.
Misao had herself a little shower buddy.... a shower buddy that goes by the name 'Aoshi'.
Unless there was another Aoshi in the hotel, which Kaoru highly doubted, then she had unwittingly stumbled upon the man Sano had been searching for.
"Small world." Kaoru murmured through giggles.
Kaoru pushed herself away from the door of her room and scampered back to the elevators. She just HAD to get Sano down there! She didn't want to be the only one who was embarrassed by the tall rooster-head that morning!
Seconds later, she was back in the elevator and heading up to her husband's room again.
Kenshin showered quickly. Even though he had an hour before he had to meet Kaoru, he still wanted to grill Sano on any information regarding his drunken actions the previous night. Plus he wanted to know why Sano was so damn cheery when he SHOULD have been just as hung over.
"Damn rooster-head." Kenshin mumbled as he stepped out of the shower. He quickly towel dried himself and slipped on one of the hotel's terry robes before exiting the cold bathroom.
It was cold because he had taken a cold shower.
He had taken a cold shower because he couldn't get the fragmented memories out of his head, nor could he rid himself of the scenes he had the pleasure to be a part of that morning.
Kaoru felt undeniably right in his arms. She belonged there, she belonged with him.
She belonged to him.
Kenshin shook his head again. That woman called upon his most primitive instincts. He had NEVER felt the same amount of passion, need, longing, possession, or desire, EVER. But Kaoru invoked those emotions in him just from a single heated look from her deep blue eyes.
When she had removed his shirt, her eyes roving over his chest and arms, he felt all restraint fall away and couldn't stop himself when he crushed her to him. GOD she was beautiful.
"Stop it Kenshin! At this rate you'll need another cold shower!" he growled to himself as he stepped out of the bathroom.
"Whoa man, she's got your panties in a twist!" Sano called out to his glowering friend, grinning like an idiot. Kenshin shot a glare towards Sano and went to his bag to get his jeans and shirt.
"Not that I don't blame you, she was one fine piece of woman. I bet she's a demon in the sack!" Sano exclaimed. He was purposely baiting his friend. He wanted to see just how much Kenshin felt towards the missy. Judging from the hungry expression he had seen on Kenshin's face when he burst into the suite the second time, there was something changing in the cool red- head.
Sano was right.
The words pissed Kenshin for some strange reason; he turned angry amber eyes towards Sano.
"That's my wife you're talking about, Sagara!" Kenshin growled.
Sano blinked.
Kenshin blinked.
Both men were momentarily shocked at Kenshin's reaction.
"You just called her your wife."
"I know." Kenshin replied, shocked. Why had he done that? That possessiveness he had felt earlier had bounded out at Sano's provocation, causing Kenshin to snap at his friend.
Kenshin shook his head, clearing his thoughts again, and turned back to find the rest of his clothes.
"Hey Kenshin! Sano!" Katsu called from the living room.
'How many of these idiots have a key to my room anyways?!' Kenshin thought.
"In here Katsu!" Sano called. Katsu strode into the room, hands in his pockets. He grinned at the rumpled bedclothes, as well as the pieces of a woman's blue shirt that was strewn on the bed. Kaoru had left them.
"Have a wild night last night, Himura? You lucky dog you! She was one fine specimen. If I didn't have my lovely girlfriend back home I'd have tried for her!" Katsu said grinning. Sano tried all in his power to stop his best friend from shoving his foot in his mouth a pissing the small red-head off, but failed.
Kenshin whirled around, amber-eyed once again, and glared at a shocked Katsu.
"Stay away from her, she's mine!"
Katsu blinked.
Sano blinked.
Kenshin blinked.
"You did it again." Sano said.
"I know." Kenshin replied, once again totally shocked at his reaction.
There was a sudden pounding on the door. Kenshin hauled on his jeans and tossed the robe on the bed. Grabbing a towel he started to dry his hair as he made his way to the door.
Kaoru pounded on the door, breathless and anxious. Her heart pounded with anticipation. She couldn't WAIT to set Sano loose on Misao and Aoshi.
He heart wasn't pounding with the prospect of seeing Kenshin again. No sir- ee, not one bit....
Well.... maybe just a little....
The door was hauled open to reveal a wet Kenshin.
'Hello nurse.....' Kaoru thought, and then mentally berated herself. 'Bad Kaoru! No! Naughty girl! Bad!'
"Kenshin! Where's Sano!! I HAVE to see him!" she exclaimed she moved to grab his shirt collar to emphasize her need to see Sano, but since he wasn't wearing one, she ended up placing her hands on his chest.
Excuses, excuses.... She just wanted to put her hands on his chest.
"Oro? Sano?" Kenshin asked dumbly. Kaoru still wore her skirt and his shirt. Her hands were warm against his chest. Kenshin gripped the towel draped over his neck to prevent himself from hauling her into his arms again.
"Missy? What are you doing back? Should we leave you two alone?" Sano asked as he sauntered out of the bedroom. Katsu followed him closely behind with the marriage certificate clutched in his hands. Sano has just informed him of the latest and greatest on Kenshin's love life.
Kaoru turned to Sano, her eyes immediately took on a very mischievous gleam but she left her hands planted firmly on Kenshin's chest.
Downright yummy she was. Kenshin suppressed a groan at her continuous contact and allowed his head to flop backwards, drawing his gaze to the ceiling. It was the only place he could look where he couldn't see Kaoru.
"Sano! I found Aoshi!!" Kaoru exclaimed excitedly.
"Aoshi?! Where?!" Sano asked.
"In my shower!!" She exclaimed triumphantly.
That snapped Kenshin out of his daze and his eyes quickly left the blank ceiling and moved to look into Kaoru's eyes.
"You're shower?!" Kenshin exclaimed, not liking that thought one bit.
"With my best friend!"
Kenshin blinked. The mischievous glint in Kaoru's eyes was contagious and his amethyst eyes quickly turned playful. His lips curved into a smirk.
"Show us." he said
If Sano and the tall dark haired man behind him hadn't been there, Kaoru would defiantly have forgotten about Misao and Aoshi in the shower. The smirk on Kenshin's face was so unbearably sexy that Kaoru wanted to launch herself into his arms and have her way with him on the floor.
She settled for drawing her fingertips down over his chest, and abdomen, allowing them to brush against the top of his jeans before allowing her arms to drop to her sides.
All the air in Kenshin's lungs vanished when he felt her feather-light caress. He responded to her touch by grabbing one of her wrists as soon as it dropped to her side. Hot amber eyes slid over her small frame and Kaoru felt herself grow weak in the knees under his unwavering gaze.
"Show me." he said huskily, his eyes gazing at the gaping shirt she wore. With the lack of buttons, Kaoru had to hold it closed as she moved, but the shirt had fallen temptingly open when she placed her hands on her husband's chest.
"Excuse me, but we're still here." Sano said.
"And I want to get in on this 'make fun of the lawyers' action. So let's go find Aoshi!" Katsu exclaimed. Kenshin and Kaoru snapped out of their trance and stepped away from each other. Kenshin grabbed his shirt and pulled it on over his head, then securely tied his hair back before the group of four left the suite.
Kenshin entered the elevator next to Kaoru; the couple were followed by Sano and Katsu. Kenshin remained quiet as Kaoru told them the floor number and then watched the doors close silently.
Images played in Kenshin's head.... four people in the elevator..... Sano, Kaoru, himself and a smaller girl with green eyes....
The brush of hands as they reached for the buttons.....
Sudden shock at the soft touch...
Alone in the elevator with Kaoru.....
Pressed against the wall, Kaoru pinning him there with her body....
Her hands running through his hair...
Her sweet smell, her soft skin...
"Kenshin?"
Kaoru's soft questioning snapped Kenshin out of his thoughts. He looked up to see Sano, Katsu and Kaoru already out of the elevator, staring at him.
"Sorry..." he mumbled and exited the elevator.
'Damn! Why can't I remember what happened last night? I just remember fragments but that's it!' Kenshin grumbled as he followed the three down the hall.
They stopped at Kaoru's hotel room door and she fished out her key.
Sano's excitement bubbled over.
"Ready boys?" Kaoru asked mischievously.
"Open the door! Open the door!" Katsu replied.
"Be quiet, they're probably still in the shower." Kaoru said as she slipped the key into the lock.
The light turned green, and she pushed the door open.
Aoshi and Misao weren't in the shower.
They weren't dressed either.
And they were very busy.
"Oh my God." Kaoru breathed, clamping her hands over her eyes and turning to bury her face in Kenshin's chest. Kenshin immediately clutched her to himself with one arm while the other shot up to covered his eyes with his hand.
Katsu covered his mouth in shock.
Sano covered his ears.
See no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. The three men looked like a bunch of monkeys.
"WOO!! GO AOSHI!" Sano exclaimed, rapidly snapping out of his stupor and immediately launching into his torture tactics.
Misao let out a yelp and immediately grabbed the closest thing to cover herself with, unfortunately it was Aoshi.
"Oh my God Misao! Did you guys get married too?!" Kaoru exclaimed, her words muffled by Kenshin's chest.
"What the hell are all of you doing here?! Can't you READ!?" Misao cried from behind a shocked Aoshi.
"Read?! Read what? Do you have a tattoo or something? Lemmie see!!" Sano exclaimed entering the room.
Misao flung a pillow at Sano and it hit him straight in the face.
"No! I didn't get a tattoo! Get out! How dare you! Get out! Kaoru! How could you!" Misao shrieked.
"How dare I? C'mon! You asked if I could read! Read what?" Sano grinned. Misao snatched up one of the sheets off the floor and stormed over to the open door where Kaoru and Kenshin were still standing.
"THIS! READ THIS!" Misao yelled pointing at the 'Do Not Disturb' sign.
Sano smirked.
"All the more reason to 'Disturb', weasel-girl."
"WEASEL! I'll 'weasel' you, you damn rooster-head!" Misao shouted.
"Sano, I know you're my best client and the head of a very prominent company, but if you don't get out in 5 seconds I'm going to kill you." Aoshi growled through his teeth.
At that Kenshin's hand fell from his face and three very shocked men were staring at the tall dark and handsome lawyer.
Aoshi, Mr. Cool, had just told someone off.
Had just told SANO off.
There was a moment of silence in the room until....
Sano burst out laughing.
"Man! Weasel girl, whatever you've done to him, keep it up! We'll go, we'll go!" Sano chuckled.
"Hey! No fair! You tortured Kenshin and I earlier today, why are you treating them differently?!" Kaoru exclaimed, turning to the small group of people but still remaining within Kenshin's arms. She just liked the feel of being close to him.
"Because neither of you threatened me." Sano replied simply.
Kaoru glared at Sano, trying to relay a death threat through her eyes at the man, but he merely smirked more and turned to leave the room.
"You know, you two shouldn't be here."
Five sets of eyes turned to Katsu who was standing by the small table placed by the window of the hotel room. He was leaning on the table looking down at a white piece of paper.
"What the hell are you getting on about, Katsu?" Sano asked and strode over to the table.
"Honeymooners should be in the honeymoon suite." Katsu stated simply, then held up two identical pieces of paper, both with the calligraphy writing 'Certificate of Marriage'.
"Misao and I agreed that this room was suitable enough for our needs." Aoshi said in his usual monotonous tone.
"Have bed, will bonk?" Katsu asked.
"Katsu!" Sano exclaimed, once again amazed that his friend would stick his foot in it once more.
"Precisely." Aoshi replied.
"Aoshi!" Sano exclaimed, this time in amazement.
"Now hold on a second!" Kenshin cried, bringing attention from the marriage certificates and the partially clad Aoshi back to himself and Kaoru who still stood in the doorframe of the room. "You two KNOW you got married last night?"
"Of course, who would forget their own marriage?" Misao asked, genuinely confused.
Kenshin and Kaoru flushed a brilliant red in guilt.
"They would." Katsu answered.
Misao looked from her friend, to Katsu. In Katsu's hand were two similar pieces of paper. She strode over to her new friend and peered at the marriage certificates.
Aoshi Shinomori and Misao Makimachi.
Kenshin Himura and Kaoru Kamiya.
"Holy crap! You two got married!?" Misao cried, turning back to her friend and finally taking in the full scene of the couple. Kenshin had his arm wrapped firmly around Kaoru's waist holding her close to him, while Kaoru stood pressed into him, one of her hands fisted on his chest. They looked as if they were made for each other.
"Congratulations, Kenshin." Aoshi said.
Kenshin and Kaoru both threw up their hands in frustration.
"Did ANYONE keep an eye on us last night?" Kaoru asked in exasperation.
"Keep an eye on you? You two are full grown adults! We shouldn't have to baby-sit you!" Sano said.
"But...."
"Listen missy, I said it before, I'll say it again. We lost track of you around 9. One minute you were hot and heavy on the dance floor, the next you were gone." Sano said.
"Hold it!" Kenshin said, interrupting once again and drawing all eyes to him. "So, you two purposefully got married last night?"
Kenshin was having a hard time grasping the fact that Aoshi had done something so.... so.... spontaneous.
"Of course." Aoshi replied slipping an arm around Misao's shoulders.
"And.... no offence is meant by this question... but... why is that?"
Aoshi looked slightly taken aback at that question. He blinked.
"You said it yourself last night, Kenshin. There is such a thing as 'love at first sight'."

A.N. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
Not a major cliff hanger, but that's okay. I completely love Aoshi and Misao as a couple and I love reading about them together so of course I had to write about them. I decided to make them married for romantic reasons, and not excess amounts of alcohol. It's about time Aoshi did something crazy like that :D!
Thank you all so much for my reviews! It's those nice reviews that make me want to keep writing!
I have one question for all you readers out there. I've been playing with the thought that the entire drunken night will be remembered by K&K and I wanna know if you guys are interested in reading what transpired within the small group that night? As in finding out how they met, why they got so 'hot and heavy', and whose brilliant idea it was to get married?
Lemmie know what you guys think by clicking that button! :)
Tenshineko: saw your review and corrected my mistake, thanks for the heads up, it was 3am while I wrote the conclusion to this chapter so I was a bit zonked out and you're right, it does look weird.
Sleep is a wonderful thing :)
Off to write chapter 5!
A.N. Woot! Chapter four! I hope it's alright. Not QUITE as funny as some of the previous chapters have been, but still a decent chapter I guess.
