Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ First Date ❯ Thoughts ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

`<Where are you going to have dinner?>

<I don't know…>

<How are you going to take her?>

<I don't know…>

<What are you going to wear?>

<I don't know…>

<Do you have anything else but this pink gi?>

<It's not pink de gozaru yo… and yes I do>

<Do you have any money?>

<…>

<You don't have any money?!>

<sessha has a few yen… but you know I'm not rich de gozaru.>

<*sigh*>'

It was really late at night, so late it was early. But sleep just didn't seem to be in Kenshin's mind right now. He had done something very stupid by not preparing anything for his first date. And now of course Battousai was pissed because of that.

`<Since when did I become so lame?!>

<Oi! I resent that!>

<am I asking you? ¬¬>

<touchy touchy…>

<Don't… push it Rurouni…>

<maa, maa…>

<Fine! … but of course we still have to discuss something very seriously… something very important…>

<um… what de gozaru ka?>

<what moves are we going to pull on her?>

<Oro?!?!! It is our first date and you already want moves?!>

<Oh come on! Don't tell me you don't want her! Don't tell me you don't want to!! And what the hell does it matter if it's a first date! People do certain… things on dates, and I'll be damned if you don't at least kiss her! You can definitely not finish the date without something as simple as a kiss! You control our body now but… God help me I won't let it happen dammit!>

<*blush* sessha… would simply not like to push things too far… just by her saying yes was enough to keep me happy for a month. I would wish to wait until she is comfortable with the idea as us as a couple de gozaru.>

<Damn your sensibility! Who was the one who threw herself on us?>

<*blush*>

<mmm that was great ne? she smells like Jasmine!!>

<I… I know…>

<Damn! I only come out when you have to fight or something! Why don't you bring me out more often?>

<You scare her…>

<oh…>

<…>

There was silence in his thoughts for the first time since Kenshin went to bed. It was really disturbing… he wanted to say something, but he was afraid if he did, it would be the wrong thing. he kept quiet…

<You know… the moment I saw her, she was so worried for me… I fell in love with her then, for caring for a hitokiri like me. And then I found out she was really worried for… you. But, it was too late, the damage had been done, I was… in love for the first time since Tomoe. Both of them made me feel alive, feel like I had a reason to win every battle. But Tomoe… Kaoru was so much more… real. She made me feel as if I could start again. A clean slate, to protect her without hesitation. and it consoles me that even if she couldn't love someone like me, maybe, you had a shot. You the peaceful and polite rurouni she fell in love with. That's why I tried to get it into your thick head all these years that you do something about it. She is… too miraculous for both of us to loose…>

<sessha merely thought that Kaoru was too good for him, and didn't want to hurt her. I would put her in a lot of danger and--->

<and you would always be there to protect her. You are not unworthy of her! … I am… you have done nothing but good since you awakened in me. It is I who should call myself sessha… it is I who could possibly ruin her happiness. Only me… only sessha…>

<demo, you would also be there to protect her just as fiercely as me. And you are now a part of me that will never die, even if you want to, therefore if Kaoru is going to accept me, she is going to accept you too de gozaru. It is all or nothing ne?>'

Kenshin closed his eyes lying on his futon. He and Battousai were always fighting and now they were consoling each other?! What a woman can do to a guy, especially one as wonderful as Kaoru… he sighed.

`<anyway… you will have to get a few pointers on what you have to do exactly. I don't know… why not ask that friend of yours? Zanza? Yeah that's it.>

<*sweat drop* Sa… Sano? Sanosuke??>

<Yeah… he seems to know a little something more about women, than you… then again, anybody knows more about women than you!>

<Oi!>

<you have done nothing to make me think other wise…>

<…>

<So you go seek out Sano, ask him a thing or two, find some money! And change your clothes damn it!>

<What's wrong with my gi?>

< ¬¬' it's pink…>

<it is not pink de gozaru… it's magenta>

<it's the same thing damn you!>

<maa, maa… I'll wear my blue gi then, you know… the navy blue one.>

<how could I forget? You still fit in it don't you? Feh! I thought I would grow a little more, but obviously, I will always be vertically challenged… I didn't have time to grow dammit! and now you are a thirty year old man-->

<twenty nine de gozaru…>

<Whatever!!! And I am still as short as I was when I was 15 damn you! Couldn't you grow a little more?! I mean, dammit! I'm a midget!>

<*sweat drop*>

<Doesn't it bug you???>

<I am taller than Kaoru de gozaru… that's all that matters…>

<mmm, you got a point but damn that Mibu Wolf! He is like a giant! Mmm, just like I remember him… name one enemy who has been shorter than you.>

<can we stick to the point?>

<fine! Oh crap! The sun is coming out and we are still right where we started! We have nothing! And it's all your fault dammit!>

<Me?!>

<yes you!, is there anyone else in this ridiculous mind?!>'

Kenshin frowned.

`<you know this ridiculous mind is yours as well, I don't know why I even listen to you de gozaru… I could very well cut you off. This is our mind, but you are just like a resident visitor or something de gozaru yo. I run the body!>

`<chill… and I know that, I'm like supposed to be a spirit or what?, I don't exist except when you are very angry and I take control… but you let me! Ahh! Enough! This is making me go insane!!>'

Kenshin narrowed his eyes… `making you go insane?'

`<Yes making me go insane!! What do you expect?!>

<maa, maa…>

<Well aren't you going to get up? you do have things to do you know…>'

Kenshin exhaled and got up resentfully, he was tired… and who wouldn't be ne? he picked up his sakabatou and slipped in by his side and under his hakama.

`<First thing's first… go look for Zanza…>'

Kenshin sweat dropped at the thought. What could Sanosuke possibly tell him, and worse, what kind of teasing would he have to stand when he told him why he wanted this advice. He could just imagine it now…

~*°*~

"You and Jou-chan?!!!! Today?!?!? A date?!?!?"

Kenshin miserable in a corner… twiddling with his fingers and nodding…

Sanosuke going over to him and pounding him silly.

"ORO!! What was that for de gozaru ka?!"

"What took you so f*#%in' long?!?!?"

~*°*~

Kenshin sighed yet again and sulked his shoulders.

`<You know if he says that he is right… you think you could have taken a little longer?>'

Kenshin frowned. He closed the dojo gates quietly and headed towards the gangster side of town…

`<Here we go!>'

*sigh*
