Kenshin and friends are gathered at the table. " Wow kenshin this looks Great"! Yahiko exclaimed. "Yea Kenshin you really out did yourself" Sano said taking in the aroma of the food Kenshin had just prepared. Quickly everybody begins to devour their food. Everybody that is except Karou. " Is something the matter? Do you not like the food I have prepared?" Kenshin asked Karou concerned and a bit disappointed.
" Of course I do! It's just that…. Kenshin I am not very hungry at this moment" Karou said getting up from where everyone was sitting. Kenshin nodded. "Wow Karou not hungry what is the world coming to" Yahiko said sarcastically. Karou merely looked back at him and continued on her way out of the door. "wow" Yahiko said kind of worried "there is something seriously wrong with Karou, Kenshin" Yahiko said . "Hey, more for me" Sanosuke said adding Karou's plate onto his own.
Something was bothering Karou… "Kenshin" she said letting the words out of her mouth and allowing them to float into the sky. As she looked into the sky. It was oretty sunny out and Karou decided to take shade from beneath the Blossom tree. Karou picked a flower and began to think
There are those days when I feel as if you…will never notice my affection….
And it hurts so deep like an always piercing wound of rejection…
It's as if you feel that it is a moral for you to protect me…
And yet it's not out of love but out of duty and responsibility…
Those days I just want to run away to a place where love runs deep….
And when I sit and think of you can I do nothing more than weep…
But those other days that just make it worth my will to wait…
Having the feeling that you're always there…bandages the wound of each passing date
That secure smile you give me when you just won a battle that was started because of me
Gives me that sensational warm relaxing feeling that only comes from thee
Maybe I am trying to see something that isn't there Maybe this all just a delusion…
Seeing something there that's only an illusion…
Or maybe I am being a tad bit stupid running to a place I am already at…
Wasting precious tears …that now lay barren and flat…
So I shall wait for now…Until that waking moment comes…
When our love for each other out shines the sun
So I shall wait for that day, and will always endeavor
Because I cant let go, I will love you forever…
Karou's thought were interrupted by that voice she loved so dearly. "Ms.Karou"Kenshin called out for her. Karou giggled to herself and stuck thje flower she had been playing with behind her ear. "Kenshin over here" she yelled. Kenshin approached her. "I hope I am not disturbing you" Kenshin inquired. "No" Karou said sheepishly. "Just thinking, trying to clear up some thoughts" Karou shrugged. "I was worried about you at the table" Kenshin told her. "There's nothing over here, you mind helping me up" Karou held out her hand. Kenshin grabbed her soft hands, but didn't let go. Then they walked over to the dojo…hand in hand…..
