Well there you go.


Kaour's embarrassing moment

Kenshin felt guilty for reasons he could not comprehend. 'It was for her well being though. Even if she is mad she would forgive me, it's not like she'll never play again.' He thought as he doodled on his Physics notes.

"Himura-kun, do you know the answer?" The teacher asked sending him a pointed look.

"Sumimasen" he replied blushing at getting caught not paying attention.

"Oi Kenshin! You ok?" Sano whispered from across the room. The teacher wouldn't call on him anyway; he never knew the answer.

"Yeah, Kamiya is mad at me, again." He muttered, completing the alien life form sitting atop a particularly complicated formula.

"You mean the volleyball captain." Sano asked trying to place the name.

"Yeah, I didn't even do any thing this time."

"Well maybe she's PMSing. She seems kind of unstable in the emotional outburst department." Sano replied.

Kenshin chuckled, trying to regain concentration and focus.


"Kamiya sempai," a timid voice asked the upperclassman.

"Oh Tsubame, do you need something?" Kaoru said smiling at the petit girl as she turned around.

"Gomenasai, I'm the one that told Kantoku about your injury. I didn't want you to get hurt and I didn't know what to do and…. And…" she blabbered, bowing her head numerous times in apology.

Kaoru blinked in shock. Her immediate reaction after recovery was guilt at yelling at Himura the way she did. "Tsubame, it's ok. I'm not mad at you, but I have to go ok." Kaoru replied quickly as she took off at a fast limp towards the science department of her high school.

She found Kenshin drinking from a water fountain with a black messenger bag slung over his right shoulder.

She stood behind him awkwardly finally finding her resolve and clearing her throat to catch his attention.

Kenshin turned wiping a small drop of water from his lips as he did so. He raised his eyebrows in question upon seeing the girl that had destroyed his concentration for the past fifty-five minutes.

"Um, Hi," Kaoru sheepishly looked away and scuffed her shoes into the tile floor. "about what I said earlier, I'm sorry." She blurted trying to get her embarrassment over as quickly and painlessly as possible. Kenshin's face changed into a bemused expression.

"I know it wasn't your fault that Saitoh found out and that I overreacted and yeah." She finished lamely. Kenshin being the nice guy that he was only relished in seeing the almighty Kamiya get knocked down a few pegs for only a few seconds before replying, "I acted like a jerk too. Let bygones be bygones?" He held out his hand.

Kaoru shook it glad to be out of the uncomfortable position.


I should stop there for the lack of fanfare my last chapter got but since I'm nice I will continue. I hope I get reviews using bribery as a strategy.


Kaoru spared herself the embarrassment of eating a horrendous meal by picking up something at the Seven Eleven before she arrived at school. She currently sat with her favorite group of people previously mentioned.

"So, how did you do on Prof Elric's German test?" Though incredibly rare, Seigaku was one of the few schools that offered German.

"Terrible, I can't concentrate on anything he says. Once I see that gorgeous mouth of his all the stuff he's saying just flies out the window." Misao banged her head on the table with a loud thud as she stated this.

"I know what you mean, but isn't he a little on the short side?" Megumi interrupted.

At this particular moment a certain charming young gentleman seated himself calmly next to Kaoru rather than taking a seat next to his exasperated cousin. This did not go unnoticed by the foxy female whose eye gleamed a little brighter upon his arrival.

"Hello, Kaoru." He smiled a brilliant smile. He reminded Kaoru of those good looking Johnny's boy bands on TV, with his bright eyes and perfectly cropped hair. She blushed and replied with a meek greeting as she turned towards her packaged onigiri again.

"I heard from Misao that you're pretty free these couple of weeks and was wondering if you would want to come to my baseball game." Kaoru blushed again while Soujiro could only admire the pink tint that sprayed across her cheeks. "I really would like you to be there cheering me on." He continued in a slightly pleading yet sincere voice.

"Um," Kaoru found the butterflies in her stomach almost unbearable as the occupants of the table looked at her with undivided interest.

"Yes, I would like to go." She finally managed looking incredibly shy as she nodded with her shoulders high and hands lying limply in her knees. Soujiro found this completely endearing and smiled his prize winning grin.

A pair of turquoise eyes watched with mild attention from a neighboring table.


"Enishi, why did you call me here, I'm going to be late for class." Kenshin replied calm but with a tinge of aggravation.

"I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to come to the baseball game with me and Sano and Aoshi."

"Um, I'm kind of busy." Kenshin replied. He was in reality trying to figure out a way to increase teamwork on the court with various activities.

"Well Kamiya-san is going to be there." Enishi stated.

Kenshin thought it over. He could not deny that he had an interest in the vibrant captain and in the end conceded into attending the event.


The stands were mildly crowded but they had enough room for easy maneuverability. Kaoru sat between Misao and Megumi, who would not dare miss an event that might lead to further embarrassing moments from their buchou.

It was the third inning by the time Kenshin and his friends showed up due to Sano's thoughtless error. They seated themselves unknowingly diagonally behind the girls.

Kaoru turned around to glare at the person who bumped into her when she caught a glimpse of red hair. "A" she gaped, eyes wide. She turned around quickly pretending she didn't notice. Unfortunately this was the same time that Kenshin noticed and yelled out. "Kamiya!"

"Nani yo." (What) she replied annoyed turning around. She hadn't quite gotten over the fact that he had seen her moment of fallibility.

"Just trying to be friendly," he grinned as he sauntered up behind her. "How's the game?"

"We're winning six to three." Misao replied. "It's because Sou-chan has scored two runs already." Misao bragged on behalf of her cousin as she munched on some candy from the concession stand.

"Sou-chan, who's that?" Kenshin asked.

"Only Kaoru's potential night in shining armor." Misao replied again without much thought. She soon spotted her crush and got up and dashed towards him flailing her arms widely showering everyone around her in candy bits.

Kaoru turned bright red as she turned back towards the game avoiding eye contact.

"Oh really?" Kenshin asked, raising an inquisitive brow.

"Oh, look he's coming up to bat now." Megumi pointed.

To Kenshin's surprise it was the nosey kid from before that had interrupted his argument with Kaoru, lecturing him on les bonnes manieres. He gave Kaoru an incredulous look. "You can't be serious?" he stated.

"What, why not?" she asked her irritation climbing.

"Are you kidding me?"

"He happens to be incredibly kind and sweet." She bit out. "Not like it's any of your business anyways." To assert her final statement she yelled out "Gambatte Sou-chan!" as the object of their argument entered the batter's box. He winked at her like their first encounter and then turned to the pitcher.

"You know what it's not any of my business." Kenshin huffed and turned away.

Kaoru pouted and said "That's right." She watched him leave from the corner of her eye for a few seconds than turned back to the game just in time to see Soujiro hit a ground ball right into deep right field.


TADA Go me. Now please review. Writing is a drag without not having support for what you're doing.

Anyways I just went on a painting trip. Got to love oil paints and now I have a painting of naruto eating ramen. I did get hooked into Naruto after my friends told me about it. Its really good.

Oishii propozu a drama out during the spring was good too. I might do a parody of it because the kenshin characters kind of fit.

Also should I continue on my other fanfic about the surfer its kind of turning into this one so I might discontinue it because I like this one better. Please tell me.

. I can't believe my muse is still working because I don't have a direction with this story as much as I would like to have one. Suggestions are accepted though I don't promise to use them.

Thank you for putting up w/ me. Hug Hug Kiss Kiss
