Cooking with Kenshin
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The herb
The soft singing of birds could be heard in the early morning. Perhaps a little too early for a certain assistant master of the Kamiya Kashin style.
"Mm...? Kenshin what are you doing in my room, and what time is it? I'm still sleepy.." Kenshin smiled.
"Um..I'm sorry I went in your room without you knowing, but you must get up and go grocery shopping with me remember?" Kaoru was still very sleepy and very confused.
"Oo..ah..? What...oh right! You go wait outside and I'll join you in a few minutes ok?" And with that Kenshin went outside on the porch to wait for her. But after a while, Kenshin got worried.
"Kaoru-dono has been in there for over 20 minutes. What could she be doing in there. I must go see if she is all right." Kenshin thought, as he slowly slid open Kaoru's shoji. What he saw gave him a terrible scare. Kaoru was lying a few feet away from her futon and she wasn't moving. Kenshin rushed over and shook Kaoru. "Kaoru-dono! Kaoru-dono! Are you all right!"
"OOOH KENSHIN! IT WAS HORRIBLE!" Kaoru said, pretty shaken up, "There were men in my room..and they attacked me and.."
"MEN? ATTACKING YOU? Are you injured anywhere!" Kenshin yelled frantically and did a full body search for any injuries. He was confused because there were no signs of Kaoru being attacked. What he didn't realized was that his hands were a little too close to Kaoru's unbandaged breasts. Kenshin could feel Kaoru's ki growing stronger until..
SLAP!
"ORORORORO!" Kenshin managed to squeak until he made contact with the wall.
"KENSHIN YOU BAKA! YOU DIDN'T LET ME FINISH EXPLAINING THAT IT WAS JUST A DREAM!" Kaoru yelled, then she pushed the oroing Kenshin outside her room to get dressed.

After everything was cleared up, Kenshin decided to stay home since he had a big stingy hand mark on his face. He gave Kaoru a list of groceries to buy and off she went.
While in town, Kaoru kept on thinking how close Kenshin's hands were. She started to have her own fantasy about Kenshin, and imagined that he put his hands on her breasts on purpose. But she soon realized that Kenshin was too thick-headed to be like that and continued wandering through the market.
As Kaoru was walking through, she met an old lady who sold all kinds of herbs. Kaoru was interested so she came to the old lady's small stand.
"Hello there young lady. What would you like to purchase?" Asked the old lady.
"Oh I just wanted to browse around and.."Kaoru paused, she seemed interested in this one medicinal herb. "What's this?" She asked and the old lady replied.
"I see you are interested in the 'True Nature' herb. It works almost like truth serum except it's just a little stronger. Most people who buy this herb uses it on the person they love." The old lady winked andKaoru almost blushed. It was like the old lady knewthe situation she's in.
"Um...ok I would like to purchase one container please." Kaoru said, but the old woman refused to accept her money.
"It's quite all right young lady. I can see in your eyes that you are in love with someone. Now go on." The old lady told Kaoru.
At home, Kaoru was reading the instructions on the container. It read, "Put 1/5 of the container into a bowl and grind until it turns to powder." Kaoru did exactly as it said and decided to add them to Kenshin's tea.
Kenshin was showing Kaoru how to chop the vegetables properly and how to cook the tofu. Lunch was finally done and it smelled great. Kenshin and Kaoru were just about to eat until Kaoru asked Kenshin if he could go into her room and get her hairpin. He did what he was asked. Right when he left, Kaoru sneaked the herb into Kenshin's tea.
"Kaoru-dono? I couldn't find your hairpin anywhere in your room." Kenshin said just while sitting down.
"It's ok Kenshin. I'll find it later." Kaoru answered smiling.
During lunch, Kaoru was willing Kenshin to take a sip of his tea. Finally, Kenshin picked up his tea cup and took a sip. He started showing signs that he was having a headache a few minutes after sipping his tea.
"Are you ok Kenshin? Kaoru asked playing along.
"Uhh...I...just have a little headache." Kenshin replied. "I think I will just go to my room and rest a while."
"Ok Kenshin. You do that. If you need anything just call for me all right?" Kaoru told Kenshin.
"I will Kaoru-dono." he said a little groggily and walked to his room leaving Kaoru eating her lunch alone.
Later, while Kaoru was cleaning up the dishes, she heard a deep yet familiar voice behind her. She could hear the voice coming closer saying, "There you are. I've been looking for you." as the voice wrapped his arms around her. Kaoru turned her head around and saw it was Kenshin.
"Kenshin?" she asked
"Yes...my love?"
