Nana Mae - Okay! So I have questions to answer!

Q: Why Are The Manslayers Gathering Info On Megumi And Kaoru?

A: I'm really sorry! I thought I'd explained it enough, but I guess I left out some things! Manslayers gather information on anyone possible... Anyone. Kenshin just happened to be working on Megumi's case. Okay? So, after he'd found she smells like bacon, he wasn't quite asinterested... But he was planning on finishing the job anyway, to finish gathering the info... But then he saw Kaoru. Woohoo! Hope that answers it!

Q: Do Kaoru And Kenshin Know Eachother?

A: That is a question that shall be answered in the story... So stay with me!

Now, for the usual...

Disclaimer- I do not own Rurouni Kenshin... If I did... Well, I wouldn't because the story's too researched for my brains! XD

Rating- Rated T for adult situations, slight language, and strange humor.

Okay... I know I promised you guys 'Scent' but You'll have to wait!... I'm going to answer some more questions in the story!... Or... cause more to come up if no one catches it... XP 'Scent' will be chapter 5, okay?... Do not eat me!

Love At First Sense

Chapter 4

Realization

Kaoru's eyes slowly opened as she heard mumbling from a distance...

Distance?...

Holy shit, Yahiko was shouting right into her ear!

"AH!" Kaoru jumped up, covering her ears, "Y-Yahiko!"

Yahiko let a huge, cocky grin spread over his face, "It's eleven, Kaoru..."

"ELEVEN?" Kaoru leaped out of her bed... and fell right onto the carpet...

Yahiko burst into a hysterical fit of giggles.

"Oh! You little brat!" Kaoru growled at him and tackled him.

She'd just realized it was Sunday...

No school on Sundays!

"Ah! I g-give up! Kaoruuuuuuuuu!" Yahiko gasped as he tried to break free of her death-noogie.

"Say it!" She laughed darkly.

"U-Uncle!"

"Ha!" Kaoru let him go.

Yahiko fell onto his face into the carpet, "Man... I think you gave me brain damage..."

"... Add it to your collection..." Kaoru stood and nudged the teen's side with her foot.

She was wearing the shorts and tank top that she always wore to bed.

And Yahiko was already dressed in his baggy blue jeans and long red T-shirt.

"Psht, and you called me a brat!" Yahiko got up, trying to fix his hair.

"Is Aoshi here already?..." Kaoru asked as she looked through her drawers for jeans.

"Yeah..."

"Still taking you to the carnival?..."

"Sure is!"

"Okay, go tell him I'll be right out..."

"Yes, ma'am..." Yahiko hurried out, closing the door behind him.

Kaoru smiled and pulled on her jeans over her shorts.

Then she grabbed a grey T-shirt and slipped it on over her tank top.

But something flashed through her mind as the light through the window met her eyes again after being covered by her shirt.

That flash... from last night...

After it had flashed right in her eyes, she'd hurried into her car.

Kaoru shook her head as she laughed at herself.

She was always overly paranoid...

She yawned as she walked into her kitchen, where Aoshi and Yahiko were sitting at the table.

"Hey, Aoshi..." She waved her hand lightly.

"G'mornin', Kaoru..." Aoshi nodded.

Yahiko stood up quickly, "Hey, look!" He pointed excitedly, "I made coffee and Aoshi said it was good!" He was almost jumping up and down.

Kaoru quirked an eyebrow... Then looked to Aoshi.

Aoshi nodded, trying to hold back a laugh at Kaoru's incredulous expression.

"Well, I guess it was then..." Kaoru smiled and russled Yahiko's hair, walking over to the coffee and and starting to make herself a cup.

"Thanks for taking Yahiko today, Aoshi... He's been looking forward to it and I was upset that I wasn't going to be able to take him..."

"No problem... In fact, he'll have a little friend, too.. I'm taking a friend's daughter as well... You know Tae? The waitress from The Delicacy?..."

"Mm-hm..."

"She has a daughter named Tsubame who wanted to go. So, I'm taking her as well... That's fine with you, right, Yahiko?..."

Yahiko nodded, "As long as I can still kick her butt in whack-a-mole!"

At that, both Kaoru and Aoshi bursted into laughter.

xXoloXx

Kenshin was staring at the picture...

He'd actually taken a pretty good one...

Damn good, actually...

Her eyes were wide and unsuspecting, though slightly panicked, the flash gave a shine to her beautiful eyes and lovely ebony hair.

She looked so damn innocent...

And something about that had Kenshin's mind reeling and his heart pumping.

'Shit...' Kenshin slammed his fist down on his desk, then sat up abruptly, 'Why do I feel-...'

But his thoughts were cut off as realization pretty much slapped him in the face.

"Ka... mi... ya..." He suddenly rushed to his file cabinets, where he kept his own files, seperate from the ones he turned in to Wolf.

"Kamiya... Kamiya... Kami- Ah!" He pulled out a folder and flipped through the papers...

And his eyes widened when his suspiscions were correct.

'Tomoe Kamiya

Age - 36'

Kenshin gulped as he skipped down to the bottom page.

'Case 102

Death - 22/8/97'

Kenshin fell back into his chair, holding his head, "... I knew it... I knew she looked... familiar..."
