???: mommy!

Kenshin: oro?

- he bolted up from the futon in his and kaoru's room. He ran out of their room, and ran into kenji's.-

Kenshin: kenji!

Kenji: no daddy!!!! I want mommy!

Kenshin: son.....

-kaoru comes into the room in only a towel. Kenshin looks at her in shock. -

kaoru: kenshin....

-she looks over to kenji. -

kaoru: kenji?

Kenji: hai mommy?

Kaoru: why don't you like your father?

Kenji: daddy is never around like you mommy.

Kaoru: kenji. You are 5 years old. Your father is busy but needs your love as well as mine. Do you love him at all?

Kenji: yes mommy. i dolove daddy.

Kaoru: kenji. I think that you should go and apologize to your father.

Kenji: hai mommy.

Kaoru: excuse me . I have to go and finish up my bath.

Kenji: hai mommy.

-she kisses his forehead, and leaves the room to go back to the bathroom. Kenji goes out of the room, and walks over to his parent's room. He knocks on the door. -

kenji: daddy?

-nothing -

kanji: dad?

-nothing. He opened the shoji, and stepped inside. He closed it quickly behind him. He saw kenshin sitting there. Holding his sword on his shoulder. Staring at the ground. As if in deep thought. Kenji walked over to him. -

kenji: daddy?

-he sat down next to him. He placed his hand on kenshin's arm. -

kenshin: son....

Kenji: daddy.

- he wrapped his arm around kenshin's neck. He planted a kiss on his cheek. Kenshin placed his sword on the ground , and wrapped his arms around his son. -

kenji: I love you daddy.....

kenshin: I love you too kenji.

Kenji: dad?

Kenshin: hai?

Kenji: can you tell me a story?

Kenshin: oro?... about what?

Kenji: umm... about you and mommy! And how you met each other.

Kenshin: hmmm....that's ....well....um....alright. Let's see.

Kenji: daddy? Is something wrong?

Kenshin: iie... alright. 15 years ago . I was a wandering battousai.

Kenji: battousai?

Kenshin: I'll explain later.

Kenji: hai daddy!

Kenshin: one day, I traveled here. To Tokyo. As I was walking down the street , a beautiful woman, all soaked from the rain, called out to me." Hitokiri!.......stop  Hitokiri battousai!. I turned around , and said " iie....you must be mistaken. I am himura kenshin. I am a mere rurouni." She said " don't lie to me! I know that you're the battousai!" I explained to her. And .........oro?

-he looked down to see kenji sleeping against his chest. Curled up in his gi. Just then kaoru comes into the room. She smiles, as she sees kenji against kenshin. -

kaoru: kenshin......

kenshin: shhhh......he's asleep koishi.

Kaoru: it's 8:00. I can see why he's asleep.

Kenshin: hmm.... We'd better put him to bed.

kaoru: we should get to bed too kenshin.

Kenshin: hai kaoru-dono.

-he picked up kenji, and took him to his room. he slipped him in his bed, and kissed him goodnight. Kaoru came from behind him, and kissed his ear. –

kaoru: hello darling.

Kenshin: hmm…

Kaoru: what is it?

Kenshin: he's so beautiful.

Kaoru: looks just like his father .

Kenshin: oh really?

- he lowered his head, and placed kisses on her neck. -

                                 

kaoru: bad himura-san.

Kenshin: very naughty around kaoru-dono.

Kaoru: ken-san….

Kenshin: grrr….. what did you call me?!

Kaoru: hee hee hee! Nothing.

-he turned her around, and captured her lips with his.-

kenshin: kaoru……

kaoru: you don't call me dono anymore.

Kenshin: and? I thought that you hated it.

Kaoru: no….i… think that it's kind of cute.

Kenshin: how can an evil battousai like myself have a beautiful wife, and child?

Kaoru: because you are a beautiful person.

???: konbanwa?! Is anyone there?

-they heard a voice calling from outside-

kaoru: oh! A visitor! Sumimasen darling.

Kenshin: we'll finish off later.

Kaoru: you are so naughty!

Kenshin: sessha is very naughty.

-he took her hand in his, and walked with her downstairs.-

kaoru: hello?

???: oh! I'm sorry!!

Kaoru: no problem.

???: is himura kenshin here?

Kaoru: hai, he's making tea at the moment. Will you please join us?

???: hai. Arigato…..

kaoru: gomen!! How silly of me. My name is himura kaoru.

Kaoru: nice to meet you. Please come inside! Kenshin!!!

-he answered from the kitchen.-

kenshin: hai kaoru-dono?

Kaoru: I would like you to meet someone.

Kenshin: who?

Kaoru: this is Taiyo Shiro.

-he started to carry the tray of cups and tea to the table. Then Taiyo walked in. he dropped the tray.-

kaoru: kenshin!

-he looked at taiyo afraid and in shock.-

kaoru: dear? What's wrong?

Kenshin: tomoe….

Kaoru: huh? Kenshin?

kenshin: White plums. Tomoe….

-she pulled kenshin to the side, and out of the room. She backed him against the wall.-

kaoru: kenshin! What happened?!

Kenshin: kaoru…..i can't stay in that room.

Kaoru: why?

Kenshin: tomoe….that's her . I'm sure.

Kaoru: but didn't she die?

Kenshin: so I thought.

Kaoru: kenshin……

Kenshin: please kaoru. I can't stay in that room. If I do, I'll turn into the battousai once more.

Kaoru: kenshin. But why?

Kenshin: she looks too much like tomoe-san.

Kaoru: maybe because she could be tomoe's relative.

Kenshin: kaoru……I never told you …. But tomoe and I weren't just friends. We weren't just living together either. We were married.

Kaoru: kenshin! Why didn't you tell me?!

Kenshin: because……….because you and I are married, we have a son, and we're happy.

Kaoru: kenshin……I told you before baka. you're past doesn't matter . it's the future . us. We're married

kenshin: really?

Kaoru: hai. Really.

-she jumped up, and wrapped her arms around his neck.-

kaoru: I love you kenshin…please don't worry.

Kenshin: hai…. Your guest is waiting kaoru-dono.

Kaoru: can you try for me?

-just then they hear a crying from upstairs . kenji looks at kaoru, and leaves the room. He walks upstairs, and goes upstairs to kenji.-

kenshin: hello my son. What is the matter?

Kenji: daddy!

-he rushes into kenshin's arms.-

kenshin: there there  my son. Be strong. What is it?

Kenji: i….i…I had a bad dream

Kenshin: about what son?

-he looked at kenshin. Kenshin smiled at him, and rubbed his back.-

kenji: about you…

kenshin: me?

Kenji: yes. You were a bad person. Killing people with your sword.

Kenshin: what?! Kenji what did you say?

Kenji: I said that you were bad, and killing people there was a woman with you.

Kenshin: kenji…….never mind….come on. Let' go to mommy shall we?

- he picks up kenji, and carries him downstairs. He knocks on the hoji, and slides it open.-

      

kaoru: hello darling!

-kenji rushes to her.-

kenji: mommy!

-he hugs her, and kisses her cheek-

kenshin: kaoru?

kaoru: hai kenshin?

Kenshin: may I speak to you?

Kaoru: hai.

Kenshin: come darling.

-They both walk outside of the room. He places his arms around her waist.-

kaoru: what's wrong?

-she touches his cheek.-

kenshin: * sigh* kenji

kaoru: did you have a fight again?

Kenshin: iie….he…he….

Kaoru: he what dear?

Kenshin: he dreamt about my days as a battousai.

Kaoru: what?

Kenshin: hai….i was confused at what happened. Is my battousai half coming for my son?

Kaoru: kenshin….

Kenshin: what's happening to me And our son?

Kaoru: kenshin……

Kenshin: I just don't know kaoru.. i just don't.

Kaoru: how's about I tell our guest to come back later? Then we can all get to bed?

Kenshin: hai. I would like that koishii..

Kaoru: sure kenshin.

Kenshin: I'll see you in bed.

Kaoru: hai.

 

What is kenshin and kaoru going to do about these dreams that kenji has? Is it something about kenshin's past?

Is someone or something fooling with kenshin's son? Not even I (the author) know! The next chapter will be up as soon as I can get a break.

Arigato for reading my ficcie! Please review it. I would like to know what I can do to make it better.
