Kaoru sighed as she walked into the classroom set up for the weekly meeting of the photography club. As acting treasurer, Kaoru took the liberty of grabbing the money box from president's desk, and then opened it to sort through the materials.
A fellow club member came up to the desk she sat at, and dropped a packet of pictures that had been developed at the local drug store.
Kaoru looked up. "What is this?" she asked curiously while picking it up.
The brunette teenager smiled cheerfully. "Photos from the prom. I thought you might want to look through them and pick out ones that you think we should give to the yearbook staff. The president has already shifted through them, but I thought you might like to as well before I take them over."
Kaoru nodded slowly and took the glossy photos from the envelope. She looked through them with a half-smile on her face, but her eyes widened, and her lips parted when she came to a particular one that she didn't even realize had been taken.
It was of her and Kenshin just before they had begun their ridiculous tango that had left them breathless with mirth. Careful to keep her fingerprints off the surface, she leaned back in her chair and sighed.
"You can keep that one if you want," her friend replied with kind smile. "These are double prints. I don't need both."
Kaoru looked down at the photo and felt warmth spread through her. "Thanks. I think I will."
