From: "Sekihara Tae" Konbanwa, minna-san! Back when I... um, when YUMI was writing Heart's Ease (^_~), she was extremely lucky to have Nicky (our beloved admin and author of A New Life) as pre-reader. One of the things discussed was the fact that Kenshin and Kaoru -- although it might be fun -- were not going to 'scromp' on the front porch. All other considerations aside, it would no doubt shock Tsubame. The silly comment sparked the following story from Nicky, who has graciously allowed me to share it with ya'll. (Arigatou, Nicky-san!) So now, I proudly present: A mini-fic by Nicky (Nicky-san, it needs a title... How 'bout 'Not on the Porch!' ^_~) *Where is that baka?* Sano thought as he searched the grounds of the Kamiya Dojo for Kenshin. *Enishi is going to attack tomorrow. We need to plan!* Sano rounded a corner and stopped. Kaoru. Kenshin. Kaoru on Kenshin's lap. He stepped backwards behind the corner he'd just come around. *No way. I didn't see that. I must be imagining things* Sano peeked back around the corner. Yep. Still there. *Take a deep breath, Sano. You knew Kenshin couldn't be that innocent. Even if he acted that way sometimes.* He watched a wicked smile take Kaoru's face, as she slid he hands under the fabric of Kenshin's gi. *Heh. Didn't know Kaoru had it in her* The low pitched giggle that Kenshin made brought him back. This was TOO weird. A tickle fight. They were having a tickle fight! *Shouldn't they be...like making out or something?* Kenshin had pinned Kaoru, and she nervously licked her lips. They said a few quiet things that he couldn't hear, and then Kenshin's head lowered. *well it's about time. I bet that's their first kiss too.* Sano then watched Kenshin's eyes open and slide his way. *Whoops. I'm caught.* He gave Kenshin a small nod, and a thumbs up, before turning the corner again and going back the way he came. *Ganbatte, Kenshin. Don't do anything I wouldn't* --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- GRAB THE GATOR! FREE SOFTWARE DOES ALL THE TYPING FOR YOU!
