Note: I don't own any of kenshin's characters.
This is a kaoru/aoshi fanfiction. I always thought of them as a cute couple and I liked them more than I liked kenshin and kaoru together. I hope you'll like it.
PLEASE REVIEW!!

Chapter one.
"kaoru I don't believe that you are actually here" Misao hugged Kaoru very tight that she almost pulled the life out of her
"I'm happy to be here too Misao chan" Kaoru replied softly before pulling away slowly to look at her friend closely "wow, you have changed a lot"
she said as she noticed the lady Misao has turned into. She was wearing a beautiful kimono and she was glowing. She really looked happy and that made Kaoru also happy "really changed" she added softly
"so have you kaoru-dono" the voice came from the gate's direction. Kaoru froze for a moment then turned to face him...Kenshin...and the memories came flying to her. Kenshin..and Misao..Everything happened so fast that she can't remember when exactly it even started. The last time Misao and Aoshi came to visit them everyone started to notice the change in the relationship between kenshin and Misao. Kaoru noticed too and jealousy started to overwhelm her. Her worst fear was coming true and it was caused by her best friend. Kenshin was pulled away from her by her best friend. For sometime she hated them both, but then she started realizing that love is something you can't control. She remembered how many times Kenshin hurt her without meaning to and still, she couldn't hate him because love would make it easy to forget. Love can't be controlled and that what made her stop blaming any of them. Not kenshin and for sure not Misao. That time she wasn't the only one hurting. There was someone else hurt but didn't show it at all...because that's what he was...Aoshi...the silent and strong man that wouldn't show his feelings to anyone. The people who thought he was hurt thought it because he and Misao had a relationship somehow. To many of them they were meant to be together. But Kaoru knew better..Aoshi wasn't only hurt..he was angry for another reason..a reason she knew well and couldn't let it out of her mind. She breathed slowly as memories flow to her...Kenshing and Misao couldn't ignore their feelings for a longer time and soon, they gathered the gang and told them about how they fell in love. At first, no one accepted this..Sano and Yahiko didn't even consider talking to Kenshin after that. Not because they hated Misao, but because they loved Kaoru more. They knew how she felt about Kenshin and they didn't like seeing her hurt. She can't forget that day when she went to talk to them. They were training near the river when kaoru walked to them
"hi guys"
They both stopped and stared at her "hay JouChan...what's up?"
"Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"What's wrong basu?" Yahiko being himself couldn't help but call her that
"I wanted to talk to you about Kenshin and Misao chan" she said calmly with a smile on her face
sano's face hardened "what about them?"
kaoru smiled more knowing how protective of her Sano could be "I'm not angry or sad"
Yahiko came closer to her "I really don't believe that basu...I heard you crying"
"I don't buy that either jou chan"
Kaoru took a deep breath "I don't deny that I was very hurt at the beginning but I'm fine now..really" her voice started to shake a little "I grew to accept how they felt for each other and I don't blame any of them for what they feel" a tear slid down her face "please don't make Kenshin feel more measurable than he already is..try to show them that you two are really happy for them"
"But we are not" Yahiko shouted.. he loved Kaoru..although he never showed it, but he loved her very much..just like a big sister he never had.
"You should be" she replied then turned to Sano "Sano please, I beg you..just go to him and tell him that you are with him all the way..do that for me..please" she started crying now...she conforted Kenshin and Misao and she gave Kenshin the goodbye he deserved and she congratulated them both "they want to get married..we shouldn't be the ones to ruin that for them...we are their family"
"No we aren't...we were his family when he was with you..but now we are not"
"Yahiko...just stop it right now..if you really love me then you'll do this for me"
"But basu.." he started to cry "I always thought that you'll be together..and now I'm standing here watching how hurt you are"
"Yahiko" she whispered and hugged he boy as he was the only thing that would give her strength right now "it's ok, I'm not hurt anymore..really" Strong arms circled her waist and she felt sano's body pressed to her as he hugged her too
"we'll do it for you only Kaoru...if you are sure" she smiled
"I am"
"Just for you Jou chan...just for you"
and their blessings were given to Kenshin and Misao and soon..they got married and left to Kyoto...this was the first visit for Kaoru to them since that time and she couldn't believe that she's facing Kenshin after a long six months of living without him around the house.
"For better or for worse?" Kaoru asked
Kenshin was glad to see her smiling warmly for him as well as Misao "for better of course"
he looked around "where's Yahiko and Sano?"
"They couldn't come because they have so much training to do..but they sent you their hellos and a letter"
"I can't wait to read it" Kenshin took the letter from her and then gazed at her "welcome to my house Kaoru dono" and he hugged her tightly
"You mean our house" Misao corrected softly
"Of course darling" said pulled her toward him and smiled lovingly at her. Kaoru watched and couldn't help but feel happy for them "I'm really happy to see you guys" she said as they all entered the house.
A day had passed since Kaoru arrived to Kyoto and she was having plenty of fun with Misao. At evening, Kenshin went out to buy some things while the girls stayed and talked.
"So how have you been?" Kaoru asked
"I couldn't be happier Kaoru..Kenshin is so great and I can't be any luckier that I am right now" "Glad to hear that" Kaoru took a sip of her coffee "how's Aoshi by the way?" she asked the question that hunted her mind for so long
"He's fine..we don't see him much but I know that something is bothering him" before Kaoru could reply she continued "and it has nothing to do with me and Kenshin..I know it..there's another thing in his mind but I can't figure it out"
"can I go and visit him?"
"Oh he'll be happy to see you although he won't show it of course" Misao winked at her and laughed Kaoru laughed along. It was beautiful to see that Misao still has her high spirit
"I guess I'll go see him now"
"What?" Misao stood up "but it's too late and it's not safe out there"
"I can handle my self well Misao..I'm much stronger than before and besides..it's not too dark now and I'll let Aoshi get me home later so don't worry"
Misao hesitated for a moment "ok, but if Kenshin gets angry then it's your fault"
"My fault" Kaoru agreed and took off "I'll see you soon"
"Take care"
Kaoru knocked at Aoshi's door and waited for a moment. She heard calm foot steps and the door got opened. A shocked Aoshi stood there and she couldn't help but smile. He wasn't quick enough to hide his emotions and that made her some how proud of her self to have that affect on the stone man"hi there"
"Kaoru..AH..I mean Kaoru san..hey please come in" he allowed her to enter while he kept by the door
"Am..Aoshi why don't you close the door?" she was puzzled
Suddenly his eyes darkened "are you telling me that you came here all alone by your self at this time?" she couldn't stop the anger that was raising in her
"and what's wrong with that?"
"you could've been hurt" he answered between clanged teeth
"I can defend my self Aoshi and you know that"
he sighed"I know but it's too dangerous here and I ...I can't help but worry about you...you know that"
Kaoru's heart started beating fast "it's ok..you have to know that I'm not an easy target for anyone"
"so anyway what brought you here?" Aoshi tried to change the subject as he sat and motioned for her to do the same
Kaoru joined him "I came to visit Kenshin"
"I see" his face froze
"Aoshi.."
"No it's ok...he was always one of your highest priorities" he said in a calm tone
"Aoshi.." kaoru objected "you know how it was then"
"yes I know..he was everything to you..and now..even wen he's married to someone else you still care about him and forget about your feelings"
"I'm only here for a visit"
"I know, but I can't help but remember how you rejected me that day..although we both know how much we meant to each other..you did it because if him"
"no, I did it because of me..i didn't have feelings for you then" she tried to convince herself more than to convince him
"don't try to lie to me Kaoru..i know how you felt..i probably know better than you do"
"Oh really" she breathed "common Aoshi don't make me laugh...I never showed anything to prove that"
"what about the kiss Kaoru..huh?..the kiss we shared that day..it told me everything I needed to know"
Kaoru held her hand high and was going to slap him when he caught her suddenly and pulled her towards him "I missed you so much" he said before his lips hit hers In a passionate kiss that made Kaoru's hear melt in her chest. 'Aoshi' her mind and heart screamed as she pulled him more to her then her mind froze 'what are you doing you idiot..stop this non sense right now' she pulled herself from his hold suddenly "no Aoshi stop" he breathed heavily
"can you deny it now...answer me Kaoru ..can you? "Kaoru looked at him and didn't know what to say...but it was obvious to her from the determined look in his eyes that he won't let her runaway without answering him this time.
