^___^ thanx for the review Twilight Sky! I've been trying to work on my
descriptive writing. I'm glad it's getting better. *sighs* -__- I hope
this fic isn't turning into my last one, you're the only one who reviewed!
I get discouraged when people don't review. -__- but I thank you so much
in supporting this story by reviewing it! Your review meant a lot to me.
Like I said in the previous chapter- if you hadn't have reviewed I wouldn't
be updating this. So, this chapter is for you, Twilight Sky ^____~
Whispering Sunshine
Chapter Two:
The Sun Shines Even With Dark Clouds
"Kenshin! Finally, you're home. I need you to..." Kaoru rushed out into the leaf riddled courtyard of her dojo. She stopped as she saw the serious yet sad expression on her friend's face. She clasped a hand over her heart as her gaze shifted from his fierce violet eyes to the unconscious girl that dropped in his arms.
"Miss Kaoru, I need you to please go call a doctor." He spoke coldly before the girl had a chance to interrupt. He passed by her to enter the dojo. Kaoru just stood frozen, petrified by his voice.
"Hey ugly! Are you deaf? He asked you to go call a doctor!" Yahiko shouted across the dojo.
Kaoru turned, anger rising in her eyes. "I heard what he said, stupid! I'm not stupid, unlike you!"
"What did you say?" Yahiko jumped off the veranda, grasping his shinai firmly in his hands.
"Stupid head! Stupid head!" Kaoru taunted.
"Oooh! Stop calling me that, you ugly!" Yahiko charged at her.
Kaoru laughed as she held the furious child out at arms length. "If you have so much energy, why don't you go call the doctor?"
"Fine. I will. Anything to get away from you, ugly." Yahiko stomped off.
"You just watch yourself kid." Kaoru threatened as he hurried out of earshot. "Hmm." The raven-haired girl nodded with satisfaction as she wiped her hands together. "Oh, Kenshin!" She just remembered.
Kaoru slid around on the polished floor of the dojo as she battled for traction beneath her feet. Finally she rounded the corner and continued running down the hallway. "Kenshin?" She called, her emerald eyes searching every room she passed by.
Finally she caught sight of the redhead. She slipped and had to grasp unto the doorway as she tried to stop. She stood there a moment, catching her breath as she took in the scene before her.
Kenshin, very tenderly, almost lovingly, softly laid the limp girl on a futon. Bright sunlight streaming through the paper-thin walls danced on the rurouni. They made his eyes sparkle and his long hair shine. It also shone on the poor unconscious girl. Only the light did not reveal her more pretty attributes. Instead, it revealed the thinness of her body, the dirtiness of her hair, and the sparkling dark crimson of her blood.
Kaoru just stood there in a daze before she realized that the ruruoni was looking at her. His violet eyes were dimmed with sadness as he gazed upon her. For a moment they stayed in a trance, their eyes locked in loving fondness. Finally, one had to break the silence.
"Kaoru-san, I thought you were going to go call a doctor." Kenshin remained kneeled beside the girl as he removed his sword and leaned it against the wall.
Kaoru sighed as she moved gracefully forward into the room. Her dark hair swished as she walked forward, and her face shined from the sunshine. "I sent Yahiko."
"Hmm." Kenshin nodded his head. "That was probably a wiser choice, that it was."
"Uncle Kenny? Auntie Kaoru?" The little girls, Ayame and Suzume entered. Suzume latched unto Kaoru's kimono when she saw the girl. Ayame slipped her hand into Kaoru's as she too clung to her.
"What's the matter?" Kaoru looked down at the two little frightened figures that huddled beside her.
"It was so scary." They buried their faces in her kimono. "But Uncle Kenny saved us." Ayame informed the older girl. "Yah, uncle Kenny save us." Her little sister nodded in agreement as they continued to cling to each other.
Kaoru kneeled down in the middle of them and drew the girls close to her, embracing them in a warm hug as they cried their fears out. Kaoru turned her eyes up to meet Kenshin's. "What happened?" She finally asked.
The rurouni sighed, turning his eyes downward so that his bangs covered them. Just then he was relieved of having to tell the tale as Megumi came to a screeching halt outside the door.
"There you are!" Megumi huffed as she pushed her hair back behind her ears. She placed her medical bag down beside the girl's futon. She clasped the unconscious one's head in her hand. She looked fervently around the room. "Kenshin, you get Ayame and Suzume out of here, and bring back some hot water. Kaoru, you stay and help me prepare bandages." She ordered, and all moved quickly to carry out her wishes.
