Innocent Hands

Author's Notes: HEY! HEY!!! This is my first Rurouni Kenshin Fic. so please be nice. This is set after the battle with Shishio and everything is somewhat back to order. The first chapter is pretty short because I just want to see what kind of reaction I get. If I get good reviews I'll keep going. Most of the characters might end up being a little OC but don't mind that.

Enjoy the Story!!!!!

'…' Someone's thoughts.

Innocent Hands

Even though the dream will fade,

And get cast away,

I'll love you anyway.

Just as the wind blows thought the trees,

You come and go in my dreams,

I dream of you…

Song "I Dream of You" Written by Erin Turner

Kaoru leaned against the wall of the dojo hall. Kenshin had gone out to talk with Megumi, Sano was out gambling, and Yahiko was at the Akabeko, leaving a very bored Kaoru all alone.

'I never should have let Kenshin go with Megumi' Kaoru thought as she glanced around the dojo hall. Her eyes finally landed on her father's swords. The wooden bokken (AU: ????) was placed underneath the double bladed sword.(AU: Sorry don't know what else to call it.) Kaoru's eyes landed on the bladed sword and she knelt in front of the two swords.

'A real sword that sheds blood…Kenshin how big of a burden do you carry?' Kaoru thought reaching for her father's sword. 'Could I ever hold a sword? Could I ever help you? Would I ever shed blood?' All these thoughts ran through Kaoru's head as her hand was almost fully around the hilt of the sword.

"Innocent hands aren't meant to hold a sword."

Kaoru spun around quickly to find Sitou leaning in the doorway smoking a cigarette.

"What are you doing here?"

"I cam to see Kenshin but apparently he's preoccupied with Miss Doctor over there." Sitou said smirking.

"Huh?" Kaoru got up the swords forgotten and came to the doorway where Sitou stood and saw Megumi pulling a very happy Kenshin into the bathhouse. Steam was even coming out from the bath window…oh no.

"KENSHIN!!!" A now very enraged Kaoru shouted.

Kenshin startled a little, looked over at Kaoru and then smiled and replied, "Gomen-nasai, Kaoru-dono I'll be out in a minute."

With that Kenshin was pulled into the bathhouse where Kaoru heard a laugh come form Megumi.

Kaoru was stunned. She couldn't believe it. Kenshin and….Megumi!!! Kaoru had just gone to hell and back already when Kenshin fought against Shishio and now she felt it coming on again…

'Innocent hands are not to hold a sword.' The voice of Kaoru's father echoed in her head…'A sword?' Why would she be thinking of a sword at a time like this. When Kenshin and Megumi….

"Well, I think they seem to be having lots of fun in there" Sitou remarked as he pressed his ear to the side of the bathhouse.

Normally, Kaoru would start shouting and screaming but this time all she could do was stand there and stare. Normally Kenshin would be fighting to get out of Megumi's grasp but today was different. Why? Kaoru started to hyperventilate and then she ran into the dojo hall and straight for her father's sword….

AU: I know I'm horrible but I want to see what you guys think so far. Please R+R.

Gomen-nasai = I am sorry.
