:D
"I'm not feeling very good Kenshin, I'm going
to go to my room ok?" I said as I started walking, half running to my room.
I closed the door to my
room and laid on my futon, and cried myself to sleep.
Chapter
Three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up, and it was
dark, surprised that I had slept so long, I sat up. There was Kenshin, sitting on the floor directly across from my
futon.
"Kenshin!! What are you
doing in my room?!?!?" I yelled at him.
Kenshin was holding me in
a second. "Kaoru-dono, don't be upset
with me, I was concerned for you, I was."
"co…co...concerned?" I sputtered. I was in shock to say the least, but ahhhhh
this was nice. It's been a long time
since Kenshin has held me in his arms, or hugged me. I closed my eyes and sighed, contentedly.
"Kaoru…you didn't come
out of your room for lunch, and ever since then I've been in here worrying over
you. I sent Yahiko to Sano's place
until you were feeling better." Kenshin
said.
"oh…" I said. My heart started beating faster, he called
me Kaoru again. That's twice in one
day, and now he's holding me in his arms…J
"Kaoru-dono, are you
still worried about what Megumi-dono said earlier? Is that what's made you so upset?" Kenshin asked.
"Umm…no, Kenshin, I'm
just…I'm just…" I stopped. I'm just what? I'm just madly in love with you, but you think I'm too young to
marry you! L Plus
we're back to Kaoru-dono again!! L
"Just what Kaoru-dono?"
Kenshin prodded.
"Oh, it's nothing for you
to be worried about Kenshin." I said
hurriedly. I can't tell him that.
"grrrrrrr" My face flamed
as Kenshin looked down at my stomach.
Noisy thing!!! Why did you have to intrude? I sure am hungry though…
"Oh, Kaoru-dono you must
be starving, come, Sessha make you something to eat" Kenshin said getting up,
and putting his hand out to help me up as well.
Immediately I missed the
warmth of his arms. I shivered, and put
my hand in Kenshin's as he hoisted me up.
This is going to be a long evening…what a bad day I'm having!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner was, to say the
least, uneventful. I tried to stay
cheerful and I talked to Kenshin about nothing at all. It was rather nice though, to have dinner
together, just the two of us. I almost
felt like we were married…almost. If
only he would call me koishii…instead of Kaoru-dono…
"Ok, Kenshin, I'm going
to go to sleep now…" I said getting up
from my chair.
Kenshin looked up at me,
surprised at my abruptness I guess.
"Would you like me to
walk you to your room Kaoru-dono?" he
asked.
"No, it's ok Kenshin…" I
replied.
He frowned.
"Ok, goodnight
Kaoru." He said quietly.
He called me
Kaoru…impulsively, I leaned down and squeezed him, cheek to cheek.
"Good night
Kenshin!! Arigato for taking care of
me, and staying here with me, and being my family" I said as I squeezed.
Kenshin squeezed back,
but didn't say anything.
I left and went to my
room. When I got in there, I sighed,
what a long, bad day this has been…it seems like nothings been going my way.
That's when my day really
took a turn for the worst…it went from bad, to horrible, in about 3 seconds
flat. I heard it…thunder. I shivered.
I HATE HATE HATE thunder storms…and I'm deathly afraid of them. This was going to be a long, sleepless
night…I just knew it.
