(Continuing of Sano and Yahiko, Forgot to put this in the last chapter, so its sorta an extra.)

Yahiko was hiding in the closet were Kaoru kept her cleaning supplies. Don't breathe a breath or he'll hear you,Yahiko... Sano quietly tipped toed around the dojo looking for Yahiko. When I find you, you little brat, you're gonna pay for scaring me to death! "Ohh Yahiko, come out, come out where ever you are. If not I'll find you anyway..." Yahiko held in a breath, as he watched Sano's shadow go past the door. When he gets farther into the dojo, I ll run outta here! Sano looked at the closet. Could he be in there? He grinned. I know where you are... He stomped off farther away, and then made the noise cease. He then tiptoed back toward the closet, and waited for him to come out, if he was in there. Should I take the chance? He sounded as though he went out... Yahiko moved a little, if Sano knew he was in there, he come after him by now. Sano smirked under his breath, I knew it! That kids an idiot! Yahiko waited, and when he decided that he wasn't out there, he quietly opened the door slowly. He took a deep breath and stepped out. He let it out. No one hahahhaa! He grinned a wide grin, got all the way out, and shut the door. Just as he turned in the opposite direction of Sano, Sano came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hello, Yahiko..." Gulp ...

Kaoru sighed. She and Kenshin were walking back home, hand in hand. She had butterflies in her stomach, and she felt like a little girl. She smiled to herself. I've never liked anyone like this... Heck, I've never liked anyone BUT Kenshin... I haven't even talked to guys in years, before he, Sano and Yahiko came... Yahiko doesn't really count though... He's only a kid.

Kenshin looked up, and let the warm sun bathe his face with its rays. He closed his eyes, wishing that days would always be like this. I love Miss Kaoru, But what if I have enemies still. I haven't fought in years with any REAL enemies... But if I do have any that I don't know about I'd be putting her life in danger. He sighed, annoyingly. Kaoru looked up at him, "What's wrong Kenshin?" He looked at her bright, violet, innocent eyes, and smiled."W hy, nothing Miss Kaoru. I was just thinking that I was." She looked at him, doubtfully, and he must have noticed because he said, "It was nothing. I was just thinking how good the sun felt, and how I wished it could always feel like this." This was half true. She grinned and replied,"Yeah. It is really nice out today." "Mnnn.".. He lowered his head, looking at the ground. Kaoru looked at him and thought, He must be thinking of something else but what?

They got closer to the dojo and Kenshin left her saying he was going to finish cleaning up outside around the house, then he'll make dinner. Kaoru nodded and walked inside the house. "STOP YOU JERK! THAT HURTS!!" Kaoru hollered in the dojo, "Yahiko! Sano! What are you two doing to each other?!?!" Yahiko screamed [OW LETTGO OF ME! and Sano said, "Nothing! I'm just getting him back for before." He didn't want to say, for scaring me to death, it sounded too nice. "I'd rather clean and move the outhouse!" Kaoru walked into the other room and Sano had Yahiko in a headlock and was giving him nuggies. Kaoru glared at both of them. "Not in my dojo! You're going to break something! Get out! Especially you, Sano!" Sano dropped his mouth open, "WHAT?! Why especially me? It was brats fault too!" Maybe because YOU'RE OLDER AND SHOULD KNOW BETTER! And close your mouth, you look like a fish!" She dragged him and Yahiko out. Yahiko exclaimed, "W hy is any of this my fault? He was attacking me!" Kaoru gave him a smirk, "Because, you said my cooking was bad this morning." She popped him over the head and went into the dojo, sliding the door shut.

Sano and Yahiko had been looking at the dojo flabbergasted. Yahiko turned around. "It was your fault we're stuck out here. Not like I care or anything. Ugly-baka Sano-baka too. Well, I gonna go and see if Kenshin needs help! Sayonara, baka!" Yahiko ran off towards where Kenshin was. Sano shook his head and called to him,"IT WAS YOUR FAULT!" He had no idea why he had to say that, but did. Hmmm I wonder if I could get Kenshin to... He ran off after Yahiko. They both got to Kenshin at the same time. "You're so slow, midget!" Yahiko punched him. "Who are you calling a midget?!" "Urusai, gaki!" "YOU FIRST!" Kenshin finally sighed and said,"What are you guys doing here?" He was hoping they would stop fighting. Yahiko looked away from Sano and turned his attention to Kenshin,"I came to see if you needed help, Kenshin. Ugly kicked us out of the dojo for awhile..." Sano looked at Kenshin, "Kenshin... When was the last time we went to see my friends...?" Kenshin shook his head, "Not today, Sano. Kaoru will hang us both!" Yahiko said, "Yeah! And she'll be lecturing me saying 'if you ever go out and gamble, I l make sure you never see the light of day again! It wrong AND not to mention ILLEGAL! I don't know why Sano does it.' That what she says EVERY time!" Sano shook his head chuckling. "Goody goody! She just doesn't get it but what can I say? She is a woman." Kenshin shook his head, again, saying, "Yeah, but she is rite. Sano, you should listen to her." Sano had his fingers in his ears. "I'm sorry, what?" He walked away. "I'll see you guys at dinner. But don't worry if I come home a little late."

Yahiko looked up at Kenshin and said, "Sometimes he really gets on my nerves! He doesn't even help out around here and he gets free food!" Kenshin smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, why don you take down these clothes, fold them and bring them in. I'll be inside with Kaoru if you need something." "WAIT! You're gonna leave me out here! What are you gonna do, Kenshin? " "Well, unless you want Kaoru to cook then.." "Okay! I'll do this! And I'll bring in some water for boiling! Tell Ugly to stay away from the food!" Kenshin smiled, and turned around. Kaoru met him at the door and let him in. "Kenshin, I'll cook. You don't have to do anything! Just sit down." Kaoru smiled at him. Kenshin cocked his head. "Well, you've been working a lot lately, Miss Kaoru and think you need a break, that you do so.. I'll do it." He smiled and started getting everything ready. Kaoru looked away, tears in her eyes. The truth is, I'm not good enough. I cook bad.., I just do everything wrong! Kenshin just won't admit it! He's too... He 's too nice! She turned around and went outside the dojo. "And Kaoru, I-- Kaoru?" He turned around and saw no one. Hnnn where did she go?

Kaoru sat outside, holding and leaning against a post, sobbing. This is ridiculous! Why must I act this way?! It's so stupid! I'm so stupid! She felt someone sit beside her. "What's wrong Kaoru?" Kenshin put his arms around her shoulders. She wiped her face on her sleeve and looked at him. "Kenshin..." She hugged him and for a while he let her cry into his chest. " I'm not good at anything! I don't see how anyone would want me as a wife! I can't cook well, I hardly do any chores! You're the one who works around here most, Kenshin! I'm useless!" He put a hand under her chin and lifted it up so that he could see her face. "That's not true. You do a lot of work around here, too. You just don't seem to notice. You keep this place going. You help Yahiko train. You clean the inside of the dojo. What more do you want? We all enjoy what you do here, Kaoru." He put his other hand on her cheek, stroking it, as you would with a cat. He lowered his head and kissed her. She pulled back, after a few seconds. "Why do you love me so much Kenshin?" He smiled, "Why wouldn't I love you? The real question here is, why do you love me?" She laughed. "Kenshin, you're the best thing in my life! You help me in so many ways. After Mother and Father left me, I thought I could never be happy again! I was wrong. That why I wanted you to stay here, and not wander off." "So, I not a burden?" "Heck no, Kenshin! Where do you get ideas like that?!" He just grinned at her and they sat there for awhile, his head on her shoulder, and her head resting on top of his.

"Kenshin... What's that smell? It smells like something's..." "BURNING!" Kenshin ran inside, and Kaoru laughed. "Oh, yeah... And they say YOU'RE a MUCH better cook than me!"
