Kaoru sat in her room gripping a blank piece of paper in her hand. She laid it on the floor and brought out a pencil. A million thoughts ran through her head as she searched for the right way to describe her love for Kenshin.
There's so many ways to describe him...but I have to write something! I can't stop thinking about him!
I think about you every day
and wonder...
Do you love me?
Am I meant to have love?
No one's ever loved me...Please love me Kenshin...you have to...I must know!
You're honest, kind, true
faithful, happy, strong
I always smile when I'm around you
Just the joy of being your friend,
gives me the hope to see you again,
to hear your gentle voice.
Kenshin's voice is so sweet...deep yet soft...so soothing...
I hide away hoping that you will call me,
Hoping to hear your voice,
That one day you may call my yours.
( Author's Note--This is the poem I gave him...but I had a few more lines to it. )
This was true, Kaoru was too shy to tell Kenshin how much she loved him...but she could write to him. Writing was the way that Kaoru expressed her feelings, it was so hard to say these things.
But I can't give him this...what if he doesn't like me...? I don't know what I'd do...
Kaoru had sent Kenshin out for tofu earlier so that she could be alone. She quietly slid open the shoji door and peered around for Sanosuke or Yahiko. With the boys out of sight Kaoru sneaked down the hall and into Kenshin's room, sliding the shoji behind her.
She slowly walked over to his futon and placed the folded note on the middle of it. Then she left the room and continued with her daily chores.
The next day...
While Kenshin was outside with the laundry Kaoru, making sure that the other boys were gone, walked over to him.
"Good morning Miss Kaoru," he said with his usual smile.
"Good morning..." she replied. Small talk is bad...he doesn't like me!!!!!
"Umm...Kenshin....." she said slowly and shakily.
"Yes, miss Kaoru?"
"I was wondering....did you read my....uhh...my note?" Wow! That was harder than I thought!
"Yes I did Miss Kaoru,"
Kaoru waited for him to say something.....
Aww come on! He should at least thank me for all of those compliments I gave him!!!
"Did you want to know something Miss Kaoru?"
Nah Duh! Gosh! Can he make this any harder on me? Der I want to know something!
"Well..." she could hear her heart beating against her chest. "I just wanted.....I just wanted to know if........"
"You wanted to know......." he prompted her.
"I just wanted to know if you...............if you like me." As soon as the last word left her mouth she felt as if her ears would explode–so loud was the beating of her heart.
"Miss Kaoru,"
Please love me Kenshin...
"I really think that we're better off as friends......"
More soon!
Yes, this actually happened to me! The boy I have been obsessed with (yes, obsessed) for 2 years said this! I still like him though! He he...but I get sad every time I see him cuz he don't like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
