So, this is my first fic ever, the story is set around the early 1800's, as
you may be aware after reading a bit of the story. I've been wanting to do
this for a while now, and I hope you enjoy this =P. Please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, or any of its characters.
Chapter 1
My sweet Kaoru:
Our search has lead us to Mexico, where we have a good probability to find what we have been searching, and I hope to be at your side soon, and if all goes well, ask your father your hand in marriage. I wish you could be here beside me, enjoying the beauties of this country, I've learned so many things, known so many cultures since I left your side, your memory is what keeps me going on this foreign, but wonderful countries. I long to see your smiling face, and I'm glad to know that I'll soon be with you again, just a few more days and we'll be together again. Be sure that my heart will always be with you, forever,
Himura Kenshin PS. Tell Misao her Aoshi-sama is safe.
Kaoru read the letter over and over again, being happy knowing her beloved rurouni was okay and that he would be back soon, and then they could get married, once he got enough money to ask her parents.
Kaoru's father was a very powerful Japanese lord, but as time passed, he was getting older and sicker, and her older brother, Sano, lost a lot of money gambling and owed lots of money as well. Kaoru´s mother was always trying to get her married to any rich, powerful, and of course, respectable young man around. Misao, her cousin lived with them, since her parents died by a terrible disease ten years ago, she and Sano were the only people to know about Kenshin, supporting Kaoru in every possible way.
Kaoru closed her eyes and remembered the time she met Kenshin.
Kaoru had ran away from a party where her mother had scolded her terribly after rejecting a 40 year old fat, ugly and very rich man. She was lost, in a part of town where she had never been before, mainly due to its reputation of being a dangerous and non-respectable place. She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice she had run into a very dark alley. "My, my. if it isn't Kamiya Kaoru." said a voice behind her. "Who are you?" asked Kaoru defensively "Someone of no importance. don't worry, I'll return you to your father, once he pays enough." the man stepped out of the shadows, he had a very evil grin on his face. "And once we've played with her a little bit." said another evil looking man, followed by 5 more men, all laughing. "My father will give you nothing" she said looking around to find something she could use as a weapon. "Of course he will pay to get his only daughter back" said one of the men approaching her. "Stay back" warned Kaoru "Oh, you're not afraid of me are you?" he said, when suddenly Kaoru kicked him on the stomach. "You little bitch!" he said slapping her hard, which made Kaoru fall to the dirty ground, then,he grabbed her hand forcefully, "I'll be the first one to taste you" he said. Kaoru winced at his touch. "That is no way to treat a lady" said a voice behind them, Kaoru was surprised to see a short, red haired man draw out a sakabatou, she closed her eyes fearing the sight of blood, which she thought would be drawn from the red head. She heard cries of pain, and when she opened her eyes again, the evil looking men were on the floor. "Here" said the red haired man offering Kaoru his hand, when she took it, he spoke again, "Might I escort you home Miss? Its dangerous for a Lady like yourself to be wandering around this place at night" his voice came out kindly. Kaoru noticed her beautiful and elegant red ball gown was not something to be seen every day in those kind of places. "I don't want to go back there" she said almost in a whisper, but loud enough for him to hear, she was still shocked from what just happened. "I'm Kenshin, Himura Kenshin" Kaoru looked up and smiled at the stranger's kind attitude, and answered "Kamiya Kaoru" Kenshin led her out of the alley and into the dark streets, no one would dare go out at that time of the night. "We should at least get out of this place." Pointed out Kenshin with a smile. Kaoru found herself melting with his smile and losing herself in the depths of his eyes.
Kaoru smiled at the memory. how she needed to see him, how she needed to be with him, to be held in his strong arms. She really missed him.
