Standard Disclaimers Apply as always I HAVE MONEY!!

**Author?s Notes: Sorry for the delay on this chapter I?ve been ever so busy. Work sucks, so yeah. And now I?m attempting to move into an apartment here at school, yeah! I?d like to take a sec to thank my first set of reviewers, Sandy, Lizzie, chibi-ken14, omochi, Val, Rosebud, Numena, and last but never least Melville?s Best Friend. On with the fic!




---Chapter 2------------Take with lots of Alcohol


---Just give me medicine

Prescribe me anything

Just knock me out and walk me to the door

I have no desire to see through my own eyes anymore---


I should have called in sick, that?s all I can think about here at my desk. I can only relive every moment of last night?s party. It really makes me want to break down and weep, out of embarrassment for myself. Of all the people at the party why did SHE have to sit next to me?

?Kaoru, Kaoru Kamiya, and you are??

?Kenshin Himura, pleasure to meet you.?

?Same here I hope?

?I hope? what the hell does that mean. Does she not like me for some reason? Do I smell? Do I seem brash and rude?

?So who do you know??

?Oh um, I went to school with Aoshi and you??

?Old high school friend of Misao?s.?

?Ahh?

?So Kenshin, what do you do??

?Um. . . psychologist?

?Wait a sec, that?s how I know you! You?re the businessman therapist. Half of my staff goes to see you.?

?Ahh?

?No offense Kenshin, but I kind of think the whole therapy thing is a crock.?

?Really now??

?Yeah full of shit if you ask me, which I believe you did.?

I tried to recall when I had asked for her opinion on my chosen profession. But before I could think of a decent retort she continued.

?My staff keeps trying to get me to go to see you. ?You?re too stressed K,? that?s what they say. I mean I think any wealthy person should be able to handle their own fucking stress levels without the help of some overpaid med don?t you think??

I again was caught completely speechless, who was this bitch and what had she done with my perfect angel?

?I?m sure you must be wondering what I do, only natural. I?m CEO of Kamiya Incorporated.?

?The computer company??

?Yeah, multi-billion dollar company I?ve got Kenny. Should have gone into business that?s what I say. Nothing good in the medical community I say.?

My angel was an absolute nutcase, a nutcase with an attitude. She just wouldn?t shut-up either. She just kept going and going. I sat there staring at her blankly as she went into detail about her business. A man that sat at her left soon interrupted her rambling.

?Kenny! Good to see you have some social life left.?

Gods above! It was Enshi, the biggest corporate bastard of them all. The man came to see me years ago, had tried to have me disbarred by suing for malpractice. He lost, but I still never got over the grudge against the man.

?Trying to pawn off some of your shit advice Kenny??

?No Enshi??

?Wait, wait Enshi? The Enshi of E.T. Technologies??

Kaoru was obviously impressed with the jerk?s business reputation.

?That?s me sweetheart, and you are??

?Kaoru Kamiya??

?Kamiya Inc. CEO.?

?How did you know??

?I mean how couldn?t you, it?s amazing what you?ve been doing for your father?s company.?

?Well I try.?

?Oh well I?m sorry to have interrupted you and Kenny?s conversation, please continue.?

?Oh we were just discussing his occupation.?

?And the uselessness of it??

?Precisely.?

?Glad to see a woman like you can understand the stupidity of ?businessperson therapy.??

?Why thank you.?

?It?s my pleasure.?

And I sat there, doing nothing but watch Enshi steal the conversation away. I ate dinner in silence and spent the rest of the night attached to Sano at the hip.

?Mr. Himura, a Megumi Tanaki is calling for you.?

?Put her through.?

Oh Lord, she?s calling to harass me about last night. Either that or Sano fucked up again.

?Hello Meg.?

?Hi Tiger, look you remember that woman who sat next to you at the party last night??

?Kamiya??

?No, no Yumi.?

?Oh the slut.?

?She?s not a slut Ken.?

?Right?

?Anyway she happened to find you very attractive and wondered if I could set you two up.?

?Are you joking me Meg??

?Come on now I?m not that cruel. How does this Friday look for you??

?I don?t have a social life, remember??

?Oh yeah, forgot again. Meet her at that new Joshua Tree restaurant at 7:30 alright??

?Okay?

?Write it down, 7:30, Joshua . . .?

?I got it Meg!?

?Okay then Tiger, don?t be late.?

?Right, right bye Meg.?

?Ciao?

I hung up the phone and marked my planner. I found my spirits lifted over the fact that someone at the party did not find me a complete bore. In fact someone found me ?attractive.?

?Mr. Himura, sorry to bother.?

?No big deal Linda, what?s up??

?New patient coming in at three.?

?Whoa, whoa have they filled out the packet??

Customarily before the preliminary appointment a new patient filled out a series of questionnaires about their personal lives and habits.

?No, but they?re high profile, figured you wouldn?t mind.?

?Okay, can I at least have her name??

?Kamiya, Kaoru Kamiya.?



**Wrap-up Notes: I?m so sorry for the long delay in this story, even more sorry to those waiting on an update for the Middle Man. I?m working slowly but surely, I?m have a tough time writing lately or actually for the last 3 months[/i]

[Gundam Girl]

Good deal! I was expecting sap, to be honest, but this new plotline has me intrigued.

Kenshin and Yumi... *snicker* Wonder if Shishio will be stepping in?

Also waiting for The Middle Man...impatiently...but we're all busy, so I understand.

Good job. Can't wait for more. Kudos!
