Chapter two Baby!! Oh yeah!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Rurouni Kenshin characters, although I might make up a few to mach the story. I will tell you now, Megumi and Sano do not get together. I'm sorry to those who like the SanoXMegumi, but this is not one. There will be one main character I will make up, and she will be with Sano. In this story, Megumi way to old for Sano, although I'm thinking of putting her with Hiko. Lol. That will be interesting. If you think I should, leave some reviews and we'll see what happens. Also, Yahiko is older in this story. He's not like…11, 12, or how old he is. Lol. Hope you like it!

Kaoru continued to stare at the girl. She was in total shock. It had to be the girl from her dream. They had the same emerald colored eyes, the looked about the same height, and they both had chocolate colored hair. The only difference was the girl in her dream's hair was down, and this girl had her hair up into a tight messy bun. The girl placed her hands on her hips in an annoying manner.

“Ok. If there is something on my face, I'd like it if you told me because you're really annoying me by looking at me that way.” Kaoru blinked.

“Oh sorry. I guess I kinda spaced there for a second.” She held out her hand. “I'm Kaoru Kamiya.” The corner of the girl's lips turned up as she took Kaoru's hand and shook it lightly.

“I'm Kayko Hikajin,” she said back. “I've never seen you before. Are you new around town?” Kaoru nodded.

“Yeah. I probably won't be staying long. I'll most likely leave here in a couple of days.” Kayko tilted her head to the side with a confused look on her face.

“Why?”

“I move around. I never stay in a place longer then a week.” Kayko continued to look at her confused, but didn't press the subject.

“I see. Well since you won't be here for very long, why don't I show you around? You can meet some of my friends!” She smiled big. Kaoru giggled and nodded.

“Alright, but later you'll have to help me find my friend Megumi. She travels with me and when I woke up she had disappeared.” Kayko nodded and hooked arms with her.

“Will do, now follow me. I'll show you the place where everyone hangs out,” and with that she pulled Kaoru off and back into town.

The two girls rounded the corner and walked up to a café. `It's the café from before,' Kaoru thought. She looked over and saw her car. It didn't look like Megumi had gone back to the car yet. Kaoru felt a small pang of fear go threw her. What if her dreams had been a sign and her father found Megumi? Kayko looked at her and tapped her shoulder gently.

“Hey Kaoru, you ok?” Kaoru turned her head and looked at her.

“Yeah…I'm just wondering where my friend is.” She pulled her phone from her pocket to check for miss calls and the time. She had no missed calls and the time was 3:18. She sighed and turned her attention back to Kayko. “So is this café where you hang out?” Kayko smiled and nodded.

“Yup! Maybe Sano's here and you can meet him and maybe Kenshin!” Kaoru giggled and followed the girl into the building. They entered the place and Kaoru looked around. It was a cute café. It wasn't too small, nor was it too big. It had a soft tan color for the walls and the floors looked like dark mahogany. There were small booths in the corners and by the windows while small square tables, that could fit four people, were placed in the center of the place. It also wasn't too crowded. It looked like a quiet and peaceful place. “You like?” Kaoru turned to Kayko and smiled.

“It looks real peaceful,” she replied. Kayko smiled and grabbed her by her upper arm, pulling her to a booth by the window. They sat across from each other and waited for someone to come take their order.

“So what brings you to a small town like this?” Kayko asked.

“A hotel from another town. Like I said before, I move around a lot.” Kayko nodded.

“Why do you move around so much?” Kayko asked, looking over the small menu. Kaoru shifted in her seat a bit.

“Um...I'm not quite sure I'm comfortable talking about it yet. Not meaning to sound rude, but I met you only a few minutes ago and I-…“Kayko raised a hand and smiled.

“I completely understand. We'll talk about something else.” Kaoru smiled and looked back at the menu.

“Oh thank god!” Both girls looked up to see a girl with long black hair that reached to her bottom, tied up in a braid, with bright ocean green eyes, walking toward the two. Kayko smiled and gave a small wave.

“Misao!” Misao came and sat next to Kayko, setting her purse on the table.

“I've been looking for you everywhere! There's a rumor going around that there are two new people in town. I wanna see `em!” She turned her head and looked at Kaoru. Kaoru raised an eye brow. Misao watched her for a second before exclaiming, “Hey! She's one of the two, isn't she?” Kayko laughed before nodding.

“Misao, this it Kaoru Kamiya. Kaoru, this is my friend Misao Makimachi.” Kaoru and Misao shook hands.

“Nice to meet ya! Where'd ya come from?” Misao asked, taking the menu from Kayko's hands, which earned her a small glare from Kayko. Kaoru giggled lightly on the look on Kayko's face and handed her the menu she had.

“I came from a hotel. I don't live in a specific place,” she relied. Misao looked up from the menu and looked at her.

“You don't? Why?” Kayko tapped Misao's shoulder and shook her head. Misao nodded and turned her attention back to Kaoru. “Never mind. So how long are you staying?” Kaoru shrugged. Kayko set the menu down and laid her head on the palm of her hand.

“I probably won't stay to long. I'll probably be here about 3 days, week tops.” Misao made a small pout face.

“Why not stay longer?” She asked, setting her menu down on the table. Kaoru shrugged again.

“I never stay in a place longer then a week. I just love to be on the road.” Misao nodded, understanding what she was saying.

“I know what you mean. I used to be on the road all the time, looking for this guy that's real special to me. I came here and decided to stay. I love it here. Although I do leave every once in a while. I also keep my ears and eyes open for the guy.” Misao smiled. Kaoru smiled back. Kayko opened her mouth to speak, but closed it when hearing Kaoru's name being called. Kaoru looked over and saw Megumi walking toward her. Her smile widened as Megumi grew closer.

“Where have you been? I've looked everywhere for you!” Megumi said once she reached the three. Misao and Kayko turned to her, before looking back at Kaoru.

“Where have I been? Where were you? You just left me with no note.” Megumi looked at her feet and twiddled her thumbs.

“I'm sorry Kaoru. I saw an old friend of mine and didn't think. You know you could have called me.” It was Kaoru's turn to be embarrassed.

“To shay...” They both laughed. Kaoru turned to Misao and Kayko. “Megumi, theses are some people I met. This is Misao and that's Kayko,” she said, pointing to who is who. Megumi smiled and sat down next to Kaoru. “Girls, this is my friend I've told you about.” The three shared smiles and shook hands.

“What ever Kao has said about me, it's not true.” Kaoru giggled. Kayko smiled.

“It's alright. She didn't say anything bad, except the fact you left her in a car alone,” Kayko replied. Megumi giggled.

“I usually don't do that, but I saw Tae and just couldn't help it,” Megumi replied. Kayko blinked.

“You know Tae?” Misao asked. Megumi nodded.

“No surprise there, Tae knows like…everyone,” Kayko said. “This is her restaurant.” Megumi nodded.

“Yes, she did say she now owned a restaurant,” Megumi said. The continued to talk about different things. Kaoru watched them for a while, feeling a bit left out. She turned her gaze to look out the window. She watched the cars and families pass. She smiled to herself. She watched as a man and a woman walked by, their finger's laced together. Her smile dropped a bit. She always wondered what it was like to love. She wouldn't know of course. She always seemed too distant herself from men because of her father. She never even had a boyfriend! Kaoru sighed and turned back to the three girls that were engaged in conversation. Her smile came back. Megumi looked like she was having fun.

The door to the café opened, loud yells following after. The four girls, along with the other people in the café, turned their attention to the door. A boy about the age of 16 with spiky black hair and chocolate eyes was running toward them. A man about the age of 19 with brown eyes and hair that resembled a rooster, which happened to be neon green, was running after him.

“I swear it wasn't me!! I promise!” The boy yelled, jumping into the seat and hiding behind Kayko. The man stopped and glared at him.

“DON'T you lie to me! My hair is green! GREEN!” The four girls covered their mouths, holding back the urges to laugh. Kayko raised a finger.

“Actually,” she said, still trying to hold back her laughter,” its neon green.” The man glared at her.

“YOU are not helping Kayko! He dyed my hair!” Kayko sighed and turned her attention to the boy.

“Yahiko, why did you dye his hair green?” Yahiko, the name Kayko called him, began to twiddle his thumbs.

“Well…you see it was for a good reason…” The man's yells interrupted him.

“GOOD REASON!? WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE FOR MY HAIR BEING GREEN!?” Kayko turned to the guy and held her hand up. Yahiko and the man looked at her.

“I will handle this Sanosuke…” Kayko looked at Yahiko once again. “Now Yahiko, I will ask again. Why did you dye Sano's hair neon green?” Yahiko went back to twiddling his thumbs. “AND…Why did you do it without me!?” The man, Kaoru guessed was Sano, looked at Kayko with big eyes.

“KAYKO! You're not supposed to take his side you're supposed to be on my side!!” The four girls couldn't hold it in anymore. They all broke out laughing. Sano glared at them all.

“You all think this is funny?” Misao nodded.

“Actually yes Sano, it is funny.” She answered. Sano glared at her and crossed his arms.

“Forget you all. I'm going home and I'm going to see it I can find a way to get the GREEN out of my hair,” Sano said, glaring at Yahiko once more before turning around and walking to the exit. The girls laughed again and Misao got up.

“Well I'll see you all later. I'm gonna go see if I can go help the rooster get the color out of his hair.” Misao waved and grabbed her purse, following after him. Yahiko waited till both Sano was out of sight before relaxing. Kayko popped him on the head.

“OW! What was that for!?” He yelled, glaring at her while he rubbed the back of his head. Kayko shook her head.

“You shouldn't have dyed his hair green. You know that's my job and not yours.” Kaoru and Megumi giggled. Yahiko pouted and crossed his arms. He looked at Kaoru and raised an eye brow.

“Who's the hag that looks like a raccoon?” Kaoru looked at him in shock. `Is he talking about me?' Kayko popped him on the head again. “Ow! What?!” He yelled at her. She glared at him.

“This is Kaoru and Megumi. They're new in town,” she answered. Yahiko rolled his eyes. Megumi shook her head and got up.

“It was nice meeting you, but we really need to go. We have to check into the hotel we're staying at.” Kayko looked at her and nodded.

“Alright then. I'll see you two tomorrow right?” She asked, looking at the both of them. Megumi shrugged.

“Maybe,” she looked at Kaoru,” If Kaoru wants to. She's usually the one who likes to stay in.” Kayko looked at Kaoru. Kaoru smiled and nodded.

“Sure. We'll see you tomorrow.” Kayko smiled.

“Great! Here are my number and my house address,” she said, pulling a pen out of her pocket and wrote them down on a napkin. Kaoru smiled and took it from her. “Come over about 9. I'll be up by then,” she said. Kaoru nodded.

“Alright. See you then.” She got up and her and Megumi headed out and back to the car.
