A/N: Ahh, I am feeling very inspired lately… Wonder why… Well, I got more reviews. Yay! Well, I hope all of you out there enjoy my third chapter!
Chapter 3: What's Wrong with Telling a Couple of Secrets?
Kaoru stopped dead in her tracks. 'Did he just ask me how I was doing? Why would he care? Most people don't…' "Uh, fine, I suppose."
'She seems reluctant to talk to me. I wonder why.' "Oh. Well, what's your favorite music?" Kenshin asked, trying his hardest to strike up a conversation.
"Um, I personally like Pop music. And you? Let me guess, you like rap music, don't you?" Kaoru asked, assuming that all skaters were the same. But you know what happens when you assume…
"Oh no! I can't stand that crap! I personally like Classic Rock and Roll. Why did you think that? That just because I'm a skater that I like that kind of music?" Kenshin said, a slight grin on his face. 'She thinks I'm too much like those other skaters.'
"Well… actually… yea… I did," Kaoru said, putting her head down, trying to hide her blush of embarrassment.
Kenshin stepped in front of her and stopped. He took her chin in his hand and made her look up at him. "It's ok. Really. I'm used to those stereotypes. You have no reason to be embarrassed."
Kaoru stared into his violet eyes and blushed, but this time, it was for a different reason. 'Could I…? Could this be…? It can't…'
Kenshin saw she was still blushing. 'Huh? What's up with this girl…?'
"Kaoru!!" came a very hyper, bouncy sounding voice.
Kaoru pulled away from Kenshin to see her friend, Misao, skipping along towards her. It was then that Kaoru realized they were in front of their school.
"So, Kaoru, is this the guy you couldn't stop talking about last night?" Misao asked, a mischievous grin on her face.
Kaoru blushed even deeper, if that was possible. "Misao!" she said through gritted teeth. She gave her an "I will murder you later" look.
"Oro? She was?" Kenshin asked, feigning innocence.
"Yea, she was telling how she was falling--" Misao's chatter was stopped by a hand over her mouth. That hand, of course, belonged to Kaoru.
Kenshin was about to say something, but the bell rang. "Opps, there's the bell. Talk to ya later!"
"Bye," Kaoru said, dragging a flailing Misao with her.

Inside their first period class, Kaoru finally let go of Misao's mouth.
"Geesh! What was that all about?! Why are you going all psycho over a guy?" Misao cried, once she took a breath of fresh air.
Kaoru got right up in Misao's face, "That conversation last night was for your and my ears only! No one, and I mean, NO ONE, must know what we discussed last night!"
"Ok, ok! Geesh! You musta fallen for this guy big time."
As the teacher entered the class, Kaoru took her seat and almost immediately began to daydream.
* * * *
Kenshin sat in his first period nearly falling asleep. He had Chemistry (A/N: BLEH!!!). His mind continued to return to Misao's unfinished sentence, filling in the blanks mentally. 'I wonder if Misao meant me. I could only hope that she did. Kaoru…' He got stirred out of his thought by a loud smack on his table. He looked up to see Hiko-sensei.
"And just what is baka-deshi thinking about today?"
"Uhh, nothing, Hiko-sensei. Nothing at all," Kenshin replied, sitting up straight.
"Well, you can think of 'nothing' this afternoon for an hour or so. Detention for you," Hiko said.
"B-but, Hiko-sensei! I can't today! I got an important practice for this weekend's tournament!"
"Well, you shoulda thought about that before you went daydreaming!"
"Oh man…" Kenshin sighed and resumed his class work.
A/N: Ahh, another chapter. Well, not much to say here 'cept I put Hiko in! And Aoshi is coming soon! Maybe next chappie. Here are my thank yous:
