I do not own Rurouni Kenshin * cries *

Waves brushed up upon the shore. The water gave off a strong sent of sweet and bitter salt that flew through the air. Clouds were gathering, but slowly moving in. Two people captured the beauty of ocean. Breezes would toss their hair back and forth. The two couldn't help, but catch simple glances of each other. Shy and unsure of what they felt, but still knew a feeling was there.

" Kenshin, isn't the breeze refreshing," The girl said with a little smile sparking upon her face. It's cold, yet still relaxing.

" Kaoru-Dono, it's very relaxing, it is," Kenshin said as he sadly watched the waves crash upon each other.

" Is something the matter, Kenshin," Kaoru was saying as a huge breeze came upon them.

Dust was stirred up and water flew upon the wind. Clouds were rolling in. The sky was falling to dark scales of gray. Lightning was cracking in a distance. A perfect clear day turned into a horrible storm.

Kaoru bent over in pain as she rubbed her eyes.

" Kaoru-Dono, what is the matter?" Kenshin asked while grasping onto her.

" There is dirt in my eyes and it hurts," Kauro said with tears running down her face while trying to was out the dirt.

" Can you see enough to walk to shelter," Kenshin questioned.

" Will you be my eyes to guide me to our destination," Kaoru asked. I can walk, but it hurts to much to open.

Kenshin held her hand and began walking fastly with Kaoru walking slowly behind.

As they began walking off the clouds finally gave out and began pouring. Lightning would flash leading a huge roar of thunder.

Kenshin came to a sudden stop and lead Kaoru crashing into him. Kaoru starting falling over, but was soon caught and swept into his arms.

" Kaoru, I have to run to shelter this storm is becoming bad," Kenshin said as he began to run across the glistening roads.

A hotel came upon Kenshin's eyes as he ran to the entrance. He let Kaoru down and began to associate with the front desk. Kaoru and Kenshin were lead up to their room.

Being left alone left the couple to a slight blush over sharing the same room.

" Kenshin, it's okay its just one night and we can return to Tokyo," Kaoru said nervously.

Kenshin looked over his shoulder noticing the black haired girl standing there damp. He wet hair sticking to her face and bow drooping down. Kenshin gave out a slight laugh while staring.

Kaoru looked over at him laughing. " Hey whats so funny," Kaoru glared.

" You look funny all soaking wet," Kenshin said with a trail of laughter.

" Why do I look so funny, you're wet also," Kaoru said will a slight frown. She began rubbing her eye still trying to get remaining dirt out. Kaoru grumpily looked down upon her wet assemble. Her mood wasn't the best due to the dirt irritating her eye.

Kenshin sympathetically looked upon Kaoru feeling somewhat sad that he caused her pain. He took a few step towards her as she began letting her hair down from the pony tail.

" What now Kenshin, I have already been laughed at enough," Kaoru said fiercely.

She felt a pressure lie across her back. She turned her site to her back and noticed Kenshin lying his head upon her back. His arms wrapped around her waist bringing her into a warm embrace. Kaoru turned a deep red as she noticed she was forced away from balance.

" Kaoru, I'm sorry," Kenshin said with a tone of sadness stuck in his throat. I never meant to make you upset.

" Kenshin, don't guilt yourself over my selfish words," Kaoru softly said. It was only me being irritated.

Kaoru dragged her finger tips lightly across Kenshin's face. She slowly dragged him into a kiss. " Kenshin, I love you from the bottom of my heart. I want to help ease your war torn heart.

Kenshin's eyes narrowed as he heard these words. He felt a happiness, but still covered with guilt. Kenshin wasn't sure, but knew he loved Kaoru.

Kaoru looked up at Kenshin's face as tears slid down her face. She held gentle onto his face as she stared straight into his eyes.

Kenshin snapped out of his trance he created. " Kaoru-Dono," Kenshin mumbled under his breath. Is it okay if I protect you?

Kaoru looked up shocked and over joined with happiness. She gave off a smile and waved her head up and down. " Yes Kenshin, please protect me," Kaoru was saying while choking on tears of joy.

Kaoru and Kenshin gazed at each other as they still stood. The lights suddenly left leaving both fallen to the ground. The pouring rain left a musical tune in the background.

" Kaoru, is this okay with you?" Kenshin asked.

" Kenshin, as long as I'm by your side I will always truly be happy," Kaoru said with a glowing smile.
