Disclaimer: I do not, underline not, own Rurouni Kenshin. Happy?
Thank you people for all the nice reviews. I did get one review from someone saying I went to fast. It's hard to keep track of events with dyslexia. So, my stories do go a little fast. Live with it (J/K). And about Kaoru's morning sickness, well . . . I thought I put down the next month, not next day. So, I'll just stick with the next day, but that was a blooper on my part. Sorry! Anyway, on with the story.
-
Kenshin and Kaoru began walking home in silence. They had decided not to tell anyone about the baby's arrival until they could at least announce that they were to be married. But they couldn't think of a way to tell them about that either.
*Maybe if we walked home with our fingers laced, then they'd kind of get the picture. But then, that would only show we loved for each other. Oh Kami, why is this happening to us? * Kaoru thought, confusing herself from time to time. However, Kenshin had something more. . . off topic on his mind.
*I'm gonna be a daddy! I'm gonna be a daddy! Boom baby, boom baby, BOOM! * he sing-song in his head. He had the biggest grin on his face, so wide that people on the streets slowed down to stare at the weird Rurouni.
Finally, the gate was in front of them and they walked through. They looked every where but didn't see anyone in the front yard or in the training hall. Confusion was hammered on their faces like a nail driven into a wall.
"Sano? Yahiko! Hell- O?" Kaoru called, now with anger mixed in with worry rolling around in her. Kenshin also began looking around, thinking that it was weird that no one was there.
"Yo, Jou-chan, you're getting louder and louder by the days," came the baritoe voice of Sano. She turned around to see him and Yahiko walking through the gates.
"Where were you Sano?" Kenshin asked with curiosity.
"We saw you walking out of the fox's office and thought Kaoru was okay. But then we saw you come out with a worried look on your face." Sano replied.
"Yeah, is busu gonna be alright?" Yahiko asked, trying not sound to concerned for his mentor.
Kaoru sensed this and nodded her head a little. Yahiko's eyes brightened but then went back to their normal, round formation.
"So, what was wrong?" he asked with wonder. Kenshin opened his mouth to say something but couldn't think of anything and turned to Kaoru for help. She looked back him and told him with her eyes to look elsewhere for help. Then they both turned back to Yahiko.
"Food poisoning" Kaoru said which at the same time Kenshin said ", Stomach ache"
They turned to each other and back at Sano and Yahiko to say the same things, only reversed.
"Stomach ache," Kaoru said, sounding casual.
"Food poisoning," Kenshin replied. They looked at each other again until Kenshin stepped forward.
"Kaoru got food poisoning which gave her a stomach ache which made her throw up which resulted in us go visiting Megumi. . . You get that?" he asked.
They didn't but nodded their heads anyway. He could sense they didn't but didn't want too explain again.
"I think I'll go for a walk," Kaoru piped up, breaking the uneasy silence.
"Let me accompany you Kaoru," Kenshin asked but Kaoru shook her head no. She needed time to be alone and think over this whole baby situation.
"No, that's alright. I need to be alone for a while anyway," she said and smiled. Before anyone could reply, she walked through the open gates of the dojo.
"Hey, Kenshin, usually you would've insisted upon going with her. What's the deal? Is sessha losing his touch?" Sano asked jokingly but Kenshin didn't even twitch. He watched her walk off into the distance.
*How could I do this to her? Kaoru's only 17 and unmarried. My names already tarnished but she's so young to have a child. She's not even married and already baring a baby. Could we have made a mistake? * the worry-wart asked himself.
-
*Why do I seem so disappointed? I should be happy that I'm having Kenshin's child . . . right? * Kaoru thought, wondering if she could possibly be a burden on Kenshin now. Before, they got along so well but now that they were going to be parents, that's a different subject.
*I wonder . . . I wonder if our child could possibly grow up to live a happy life? I mean, his father being Battousai the manslayer and having a mother that teaches swordsman-ship . . . not many people have parents like that! * she thought, trying to extinguish the nervousness in her stomach. It didn't work and she looked up to see herself at the train station.
*The train station's like a 30 minute walk from the dojo . . . it's been that long? I better hurry back before that baka worries his head off.
She turned around and started to walk but was grabbed harshly by her obi.
"Hey, your that broad with that red- headed baboon from the other night!" came the oh to familiar voice of Logan. (A/N I think that's his name, can't remember. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Kaoru whirled around to see him and at least four other guys standing behind him.
"So this is the one that you said gave you quite fuss? You were right when you said she looked as sweet as heaven," one guy said, putting his hand on Logan's shoulder.
"Yeah, she's a real keeper pal. How could you let her get away so easily?" another said. Logan swiftly switched his hands to grab her wrists and brought her closer.
"Oh, she's not getting away this time. I don't see that nut case anywhere around," he told one of the silent henchmen. Then he turned back to her. " And with him not here to protect you, we're gonna have lots of fun together."
-
"It's been 45 minutes Sano, I'm going to go find her," Kenshin said, running to the dojo gates. Sano jumped in front of him to block his path.
"Oh, no you don't! You and her have taken walks longer than this one together so I think she's just fine. Your not going anywhere Kenshin!" he told him.
"And who's going to stop me? You? That's funny," Kenshin said, his voice deep and eyes hidden under his veil of hair.
"Funny, I'll show you what's funny!" Sano said, pulling his fists up. Then Kenshin revealed his eyes to be a bright amber.
Within a matter of seconds, Sano was sitting on the ground smiling.
"What's funny is me trying to beat you in a battle. That's hilarious!" he said, trying to act cool. Kenshin saw nothing funny about this matter and rushed down the street, with the sun setting.
_
"Ah! Let go of me! Get off!" Kaoru cried frantically, trying to struggle out of the two of Logan's henchmen's grip.
"Don't wanna. I still didn't get what I wanted from you," he replied to her cries of help, then took a turn onto the Rufions Row. Kaoru didn't like where this was going and decided to get physical. She jammed her right heel into the ground and leaned forward on it. Pulling back her leg, Kaoru grounded her heel into one of her captors *ahem * parts that wont be mentioned at this time. He let go and brought his hands down to put pressure on the pain. Kaoru took this time to ball her hands in a fist and slammed them down on the other one's head.
"Grab her you fools! Don't let her get away!" Logan screamed and all of them ran off after her, except the one she kicked. He more like wobbled after her.
Kaoru ran as fast as humanly possible in a kimono. Taking twists and turns trying to confuse the men that were coming after her, Kaoru came to a fence that was at least 8 feet high. She quickly turned around only to slam into one of the guys chasing her. He grabbed her around her back and pulled her closer.
"You're not going anywhere doll. Not for a long, long time," he said then threw her to the ground forcefully. She yelped with pain and looked up to see Logan standing over her. He reached down and yanked on her hair which had came loose from it's bindings while she was flung to the ground. She yelped from pain and steadied herself on her palms.
"I don't like it when my prey run away from me. I really don't," Logan told her in a deep tone of voice. She tried to get up but instead received a forceful blow to the stomach.
*No! The baby! I have to get away. I have to . . . * she thought. Gathering up the last ounce of strength she had, Kaoru did the only thing any girl would do in a time like this. She screamed at the top of her lungs, praying to the lord almighty Kami-sama that Kenshin, Sano, Yahiko, or heck, Megumi heard her!
_
Kenshin came to a brief halt in front of the Rufion's row, hoping to catch sight of her. He glanced around frantically, trying to see her slim form walk by.
"KAORU!: he yelled, then took a quick breather before shouting her name again. He waited for a reply but only heard the echo of his own voice.
*Damn it! WHY did I let her go alone? WHY?!?! I should've just insisted on going with her or at least following her, but NOOOOOOO! I just had to stay home, didn't I? I really am a baka . . . * he told himself before he heard a high pitched scream. He strained his ear to hear the echo to see where came from. The sound told him it came from the rufion's row and he used his godlike speed to find her.
*If I'm even half a second late, I swear I'll kill myself! *
