"Ha!" Yahiko roared, swinging his wooden sword. The missy watched him with the eyes of a mentor. She was proud, and quite impressed at how quickly Yahiko had picked up the Kamiya Kasshin style. Her father would be proud, too. Now if only she could get a fair, handsome man to take her hand in marriage.

It couldn't be Sannosuke, he was too demanding and arrogant. Yahiko was totally out of the question. By the time the boy would grow into a responsible, wealthy man, the Kaoru would be too old to marry. The only one left was Kenshin. But, she wasn't so sure about that. Kenshin was there, glad to help even when no one asked but, there was still so much she didn't know about him.

Was she that desperate? Picking over her friends like this? Kaoru sighed and held her head low.

"What's wrong?" Yahiko asked, seizing his swinging.

"Eh? Nothing's wrong. You're doing great, so take a break." Kaoru replied.

"Hm, you're lying. I know it, so don't argue your way out of it."

The missy rolled her eyes, "It's just... I want to get married before it's too late and I become a cranky old woman like Megumi."

"At least Megumi's pretty..." Yahiko mumbled under his breath.

"I heard that you little brat!" Kaoru screamed at the boy, grabbing him up by his clothes. She landed a few punches on his head, and Yahiko struggled to hit back.

"Oi, missy, leave 'im alone." Said Sannosuke, approaching the two. Kenshin walked beside him, the cheeky, wimpy look on his face as usual.

"He insulted me!" Kaoru cried.

"Indirectly!" Yahiko corrected her.

"You would think by now, Little Yahiko would have learned that the Missy is quite sensitive."

"Sensitive?!" Kaoru grimaced, "I'll have you know I am a strong, confident young woman who is perfectly capable of taking care of herself. I am beautiful and I just await the hand a responsible, handsome man!" She ranted.

The three opposite genders shifted their gazes to the side, Sannosuke whistling and Kenshin rubbing the nape of his neck.

"What's this? You guys don't think I'm worthy?"

"It's not that..." Yahiko spoke up.

"Then what is it?!"

"I've got to go to the market!" Sannosuke announced.

"Me too!" Kenshin echoed, following Sannosuke who had already began walking off.

"Me three!" Yahiko stuttered, starting to follow the men but the missy grabbed him up.

"Oh no you don't!" She growled, flames in her eyes.
