Chapter 5: Triangles and Line Segments

Kaoru's POV

What... no... Masaka... He... He likes Tomoe? He must, coz if he doesn't... what's he doing then? Haay... Kenshin... I really love you, demo... I can't do anything but look at you from far away... I have to keep silent about my true feelings... You like Tomoe, huh? Very well, as long as you're happy, I won't interfere...

(A/N: Assuming is bad, don't be like some people I know & in this case, Kaoru!)

Kenshin's POV

Eh? Ei, she's awake! Great! Ah, matte! Why's her face like that, she's sad? I detect sadness in her eyes, demo doushite? I don't get it.. Ahh! I'm still carrying Tomoe! Stupid, stupid! She must think... NOOOOO! Quick! Better put Tomoe down somewhere, NOW!

Tomoe's POV

Haaa... this feels great! Oh, Kenshin... Huh? Why did he stop? What's going on? I think I'll sneak a peek... arrggghh! That friggin' Kaoru's awake! Why! She's ruining everything! She's supposed to still be unconscious! Crap! Darn that girl! I SO HATE HER!

Kenshin hurriedly put Tomoe on the couch and rushed over to Kaoru. Misao was already there, they were both asking Kaoru if she was okay, Kaoru said that she was fine. While all this was going on, Tomoe lay on the couch, forgotten. It infuriated her that because of Kaoru, Kenshin forgot all about her. Misao was hurrying around, she got Kaoru a cup of water and was in the middle of asking Kaoru if she was okay when... Aoshi walked in! Kaoru wearily smiled at him and Misao was shouting his name. As usual, Aoshi wasn't fazed; he just continued walking and asked Kaoru if she was feeling okay. He never even noticed poor (yeah right!) Tomoe on the couch. Suddenly, everyone else walked in and they were all worried about Kaoru when Enishi noticed his sister... "Eh? Ne-san..? What happened to her?" He said, and with that, everyone finally noticed Tomoe. "Ah.. she fainted a while ago..." Kenshin said. "Oh. Figures!.. haha! I'll bring her to her room so that she can't torture us with her horrible face! Hahaha!" Enishi half-joked. Everyone laughed at that remark, except of course, for Aoshi. Tomoe had a really hard time controlling her anger at Enishi, but she managed. Then Enishi got up and carried Tomoe while everyone else ('cept for Kenshin, Kaoru, Misao and Aoshi), left. "Ne, Kaoru, honto ni daijobu desu?" Misao worriedly asked. "Ya, don't worry about me, by the way, it's getting late, you guys better go already, I don't wanna keep you from having fun or something..." Kaoru said. "Iie! I wanna stay here, you're my best friend AND cousin after all!" Misao stated. "Uhm... it's alright, you guys go on ahead, I'll stay here with Kaoru, go and have fun." Kenshin suggested. "Eh... demo..." Misao stammered. "It's really alright, Misao" Kaoru said. "Oh, alright. Kenshin, I leave her to you then!" Misao said. "Ok." Kenshin said while Kaoru blushed at the thought of being alone with Kenshin. So Aoshi and Misao left, leaving Kaoru and Kenshin all alone. "Ano.. Kenshin?" Kaoru said. "Hai, Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin replied. "Thank you." Kaoru sincerely said. "No problem..." Kenshin said, smiling. 'MAN! She is so beautiful when she says it that way!' And the two cherished the moment...

"Misao..." Aoshi said coolly. "Hai, Aoshi-san?" Misao said, smiling. "You really care about your friends, huh?" Aoshi asked. "Hai, they are really important people." Misao said, glancing at him. "I like that." Aoshi simply said. Misao blushed at his words. "So... Am I your friend?" Aoshi asked, looking straight into her eyes with a small smile. "Of course!" Misao said, giggling. "Oh. I'm glad to hear that." "Ne, am I your friend?" Misao asked. "Yes... Very much so." Aoshi said, unable to resist the urge to smile. Misao smiled. "Aoshi-san.. You know, you look sooo good when you smile!" Misao said, giggling like a fangirl. Aoshi blushed (A/N: ahhh! Aoshi blushed! It's the end of the world as we know it! hehe.. :P)

"Neeee-chan! I have a big question for you." Enishi said, pouring coffee to his cup. "Hai. Nani?" Tomoe asked, sipping from her cup. "Why do you still pursue Kenshin even if he... likes someone else?" Enishi asked. "Ano... That's because I really like him" Tomoe said. "Demo... Even if that may be true... Don't you need to know when to let go? If you really love the person, won't you regard his happiness at your own?" Enishi said, looking out the window. Tomoe was left speechless. 'When did my oto-oto know so much about love? What he said... makes sense... but... I..' Tomoe was struggling against her own feelings.

The next day...

"Ahh! what a beautiful day!" Kaoru exclaimed. "Hai, hai!" Misao agreed. "Just glad that you are okay already." Soujiro said with a smile. "To celebrate Jou-chan's 'remarkable' recovery, i have prepared a surprise!" Sanosuke said with a smirk. "Eh? Honto? What is it Sano? Ne, ne, do tell!" Misao begged. "No way! You guys just wait patiently for, oh, about 10 minutes, hehe..." Sano said. "Mou!" Megumi pouted. "I'll just tell you guys if... Aoshi asks me! Hehehe!" Sano said. Everyone suddenly told Aoshi to ask him but Aoshi didn't care to ask until... "Ne, Aoshi... Onegai? Please ask Sano..." Misao begged him. Much to everyone's surprise, Aoshi turned to Sano and asked him. Sano was speechless... and after 5 minutes of shocked silence, Sano said, "Oh, alright, since I promised... Well, we're going to an island!" Sano said. "Eh? Honto? Sugoi desu!" Everyone exclaimed at the exact moment, except for the stoic Aoshi. Suddenly, Sano found himself mobbed by all the girls. "Oy! Yamete! Kenshin and Aoshi are shooting death glares at me! Hahaha!" Sano said jokingly. At his remark, Kenshin and Aoshi blushed. (A/N: Yes, Aoshi actually blushed, again.. O.o in shock) "Haha! Let's go!" Sano said while laughing. So they went to the dock where the boat is.. well... docked. The boat leaves once every hour and it was 10:57 so they had to wait for 3 minutes. Everyone was so excited, which caused them to be very, very noisy. Finally, they were led onto the boat and were on their way to Fumoffu Island (A/N: uh... don't ask me... It's Bonta-kun's fault! hahaha!). Once they got there, they seperated and agreed to meet at 4:00. Misao wanted to explore, and Aoshi decided to accompany her; Megumi and Sano decided to stroll at the beach; Tomoe, Enishi, and Soujiro decided to grab something to eat. And much to Tomoe's dismay, Kaoru and Kenshin decided to go scuba diving (again!)

Tomoe, Enishi and Soujiro were sitting around a table in the lodge, they were enjoying melon shakes. Well, Soujiro and Enishi were enjoying the shakes while Tomoe was sulking. They looked out the window and saw Megumi picking shells along the beach with Sano trailing behind her. Sano told Megumi something, then he ran. Megumi started chasing him, which caused Enishi and Soujiro to laugh. Tomoe was still busy sulking.

On the other side of the island...

"Aoshi! Hayaku! " Misao happily exclaimed. 'Yare, yare ' Aoshi thought to himself. He watched Misao as she ran from place to place.

Aoshi's POV

Man, where does she get all that energy? But she's a really nice girl, wait! Aoshi, baka... what am I thinking? i can't be... falling for her... I can't! But everytime I'm with her, I'm so happy... masaka! There's no way! I couldn't have... could I?

Meanwhile...

Kaoru and Kenshin were underwater...

Kaoru's POV

Waaaa... suteki! Sugoi desu, honto ni sugoi! Eto... where's Kenshin? Oh! There he is! Haaa... I love this! not only do I get to go underwater and see this beautiful scene, but I'm also with Kenshin! Demo... He likes Tomoe.. haay... Yamete Kaoru! You're starting to depress yourself again! Just enjoy this! Being depressed wouldn't help anything! Eh...? Ahh.. so pretty! I wish I could go scuba diving everyday!

Kenshin's POV

Kaoru... I'm finally alone with her, she looks so pretty... I hope this would happen more often... now, I should enjoy this... the fish are so nice.. Oh, I gotta check on Kaoru, after all, who knows, what happened to Misao might happen to her...

So everyone had a great time and 4:00 came a little too fast... they were assembled at the dock and were boarding the boat. Everyone was talking.. and talking.. and talking. They were very noisy; they were so noisy that they didn't notice...

Somewhere else...

"Ahhhhh! Hayaku! It's 4:10 already!" Misao exclaimed while running ahead of Aoshi. Aoshi coolly walked behind her. When they reached the dock, it was completely deserted... Misao started running around in circles while Aoshi stood nearby. To make matters worse, the sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds... Aoshi looked up and suddenly felt rain dripping onto his face. "Misao! We have to get cover!" Aoshi shouted. Misao was shocked, she never noticed the rain until... "Hey! It's raining!" she exclaimed, so the both of them started looking for cover. They didn't know that a typhoon was coming and that only the two of them were left on the island because the employees were notified and ordered to lock the lodge and go home. The employees, however, didn't know that there were still two guests left on the island... tun-dun-dun...

Author's Note: OH NO! what befalls our dear couple? tun dun dunnNN! somebody help! but wait... we can help of course! hahaha! how is this chapter then? is the fic getting boring or just the opposite? I hope you guys are enjoying it... nyehehe. anyways, about the title, basically, it's because of studying geometry.. the triangle is the relationship of Tomoe Kaoru and Kenshin but the line segment, on the other hand, is bout Misao and Aoshi... for now, that is.. ohohoho! well guys, come on! let's do it! GREAT! (Kawamura style!)
