Part XI : Time
'Damn!' I thought in the middle of the night as I got up.
I uncovered myself and magically happened to get up without Kaoru's assistance. I ran out of the room carefully closing the door not to make any noise and hurried to the restroom.
'Damn this pregnancy!' I swear I have too pee every goddamn five minutes. It has brought out a lot in me as you can see. In moments I find myself so utterly calm I might as well be dead. The next I am screaming at Aoshi because of some stupidity. Right now I am just cussing my god damn mouth off.
I sighed. On the way back to our room I thought I heard something to the left, where Aoshi and Misao's room was. Go to sleep Himura! This is none of your freakin' business. I told myself. But… oh damn it!
I inched my way closer to their room, and wished I hadn't. I could hear soft moans coming from inside Misao's room. Dammit! I just couldn't keep my nose out of it could I? I heard a louder moan.
"Did I hurt you?" said Aoshi barely a whisper.
"Never… go on…" Misao distracted…
'ORO' shit, I'm leaving I'm going! I am escaping! Getting the hell out of here! God damn Aoshi! I actually envied him. I mean, I felt like I needed some. Nine long months for heavens sake! And I was so close to Kaoru. But… I couldn't exactly make out with myself.
I sighed…
"Poor, poor Kenshin!"
Oh shit! I knew that voice… would never ever forget it!
"I have a surprise for you! Ken-san! You have been so good to Kaoru's body, but I did say she was going to have a baby ne? Time's up! Thank you so much Kenshin! I'll try to never ever torture you again! And quit cussing so much! Adios!" she said to me.
Huh? The night suddenly got clearer. And I felt astonishingly lighter. With more agility. My mood lightened very fast. I looked down. And pinched myself. I could see the floor!!!! Please don't let this be a dream!
I would have burst out laughing like a wild man if I had not heard Misao at that moment. Feh! Ruin the moment why don't you!
My eyes bulged in realisation! Kaoru! She would be herself again, her lovely petite little self. Thank you for the idea Misao! I thought as I ran full speed to our room. 'Calm down Battousai, she is pregnant after all' I said to myself to which he responded 'Bull! I haven't had some in NINE months damn you!' oh well can't say I didn't try…
There she was. Sleeping as peacefully as ever. I hated to wake her, it seemed a crime, but… it had been so long! Besides, I couldn't actually do it with her like this, but I could just, feel her face again, her neck, her shoulders, her smooth hair.
I walked over to where she was and softly touched her cheek with my palm. I brushed her bangs to the side to see her beauty. Kaoru, I have missed you so much. I leaned forward to kiss her.
She frowned. Was my hand cold? Did she sense me? I started to remove my hand when she caught it. Was she awake?
"Ken…shin…" she whispered.
Not fully awake but I could tell she was starting to. Her eyes twitched as she regretfully opened them. I smiled at her, and she smiled sadly back.
"I miss you so much Kenshin." She said softly to me
"I missed you too koishii… but I'm here now de gozaru." I said taking her hand in mine.
Just lean in and give her a kiss, one she would never forget.
"I wish you were Kenshin…" she said again.
What? I am. Aren't I? She thought she was dreaming, of course. I smiled tenderly. I'll prove that I'm real… I leaned in yet again when she started talking again. Dammit! will this never end?
"You never kiss me… you always go away before I get to kiss you. I don't want to wake up. Please kiss me now, before you go away again…" she said
Ay eye captain!!! I leaned forward and finally gave her a kiss. The first one was a soft sweet one, just to torture Battousai even more I guess.
I looked down at her. Her eyes widened, I guess she just figured out this wasn't just a dream. She looked at her self and myself under the covers. Then back up at me. We stayed there a good ten minutes, she practically threw herself on me like a drowning woman would to a life boat.
'Oro!' no complaints though…
she dug her head into my chest and neck and her arms firm around my back. I started giving her fast kisses where ever my mouth landed. She lifted her head. One long furious kiss to the mouth and on with the rest of the body, I planned. The kiss, it felt so, wonderful. We seemed like two mad people in bed I suppose but hey! What do you expect?!
I parted partly because I was turning blue from the lack of air. If it hadn't been for her stomach! I would be able to get closer! And as if on cue…
"Kenshin…" she said as she stopped abruptly.
"What?" I said barely paying attention, kissing her neck and moving downwards…
seeing that she was not responding I looked up, worried. One hand was now at her stomach, her brows were knotted and she was frowning. Now that got me worried.
"Kaoru are you all right de gozaru ka?" I asked rapidly.
She looked up at me and smiled. 'Oro! Why do I not like that smile?! Don't say it! Not now! We were just getting started! Don't' say it koishii! Onegai!!'
"It's time…"
"OOOOOOOORORORO!!!" @_@'
Part XII : Labor
"OOOOOOORORORO!!!! ARE YOU SURE?!" screamed Kenshin
I nodded calmly, which just seemed to freak him out more.
"WE MUST GET MEGUMI DE GOZARU!!!! OR GENZAI-SENSEI!!!! ORO!!! AOSHI!!!! QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH MISAO AND HELP ME WITH KAORU!!!" Kenshin shouted running out of the room and screaming at the top of his lungs like an idiot.
I giggled, but stopped as another very sharp pain got me. Damn, just when we were getting frisky… did Kenshin say Misao and Aoshi were messing around? Hmmm, well I don't know, but right now I really don't care.
"HIMURA!! DAMN YOU!!!! CAN'T YOU WAIT A LITTLE!!!???" I heard Misao yell.
Yup, I guess they were messing around. I heard various footsteps out side and in the yard. Some orders giving by Kenshin and Misao. Aoshi left a few seconds later to get Megumi.
I was getting exited, I felt butterflies in my stomach and I didn't know why. Kenshin and Misao came in both out of breath but concerned, I noticed Misao was only like, half dressed.
"Daijoubu?" she asked me, coming to my side.
"Yes, I'm fine." I answered reassuringly.
"What do we do? What do we do?" asked Kenshin frantically.
"How should I know?" snapped Misao
"Well you're a woman!" he answered back
"What difference does that make?!" she said
"You should know!"
"Know what?"
"Well what to do!!"
"And why the hell should I know that?!!?"
I sweat dropped and put my hands up for them to pay attention to me. And like I suspected, it didn't work. Another cramp. I winced. That got them to notice me.
"Kaoru!!" the said in unison
"I'm ok… I just hope Megumi gets here fast." I answered.
"We need some ice!" said Misao
"No! bring her something warm! Do you want to freeze the baby to death?!" yelled Kenshin
"For her head dammit!"
I noticed my breathing was a little out of it's normal rate. And I did feel kinda hot. I nodded at Misao. She and Kenshin both stood up at the same time.
"I'll go." said Misao
Kenshin nodded and kneeled back down to where I was. I smiled at him, trying to tell him not to worry. Ha! Fat chance of that!
"You know Kenshin, we… don't even have a… name for this baby…" I said between breaths
He took my hand and smiled thankfully. Looked me in the eyes, and then up to the ceiling, I guess he was thinking.
"How about Kiyone… or Kira?" he suggested. I winced.
"How do you know it's going to be a girl?" I asked
"I know…" he simply said.
The baby kicked.
"Can I name it if it's a boy?" I asked.
"What name?"
"Kenji…" I said. Imagining my baby in my head. My chibi Kenshin. I smiled like an idiot. Kawaii!
Kenshin raised an eyebrow.
"Aoshi!" we heard Misao outside the hall.
"Where is Jou-chan?" is that Sanosuke?
"She is in her room with Kenshin." Misao answered
well that was fast…
"Sanosuke, go get some water, Misao, you have ice right? Yahiko, get a towel, a needle and string. Aoshi, get some carbon and light it." We heard Megumi yell as she approached my room.
I turned blue, suddenly this didn't seem as exiting as it did scary. Kenshin took my hand in his and gave it a squeeze. He was calm now. Thank goodness. Megumi opened the door and stepped in.
"Konbanwa." She said to us
"Konbanwa." We both answered.
"Kaoru get these covers out of the way will you?" she asked Kenshin
she didn't know. Of course, it had been really sudden. I just woke up and happened to be in my own body again. Aoshi must have sensed it from the beginning and told Misao.
"I am Kenshin Megumi-dono." Answered Kenshin doing as he was ordered.
She looked at me, I smiled, she looked at Kenshin, he smiled. Megumi sighed and smiled herself.
"Thank Kami…" she murmured.
She help me get into a more comfortable position and folded the covers to put them behind my back so I was sort of sitting up. I winced as another stronger pain came on. She took my legs and folded them up. Which strangely made me feel better.
Yahiko came rushing in with the towels and the needle. Aoshi, brought the charcoal, and Sanosuke had the water.
"Ok." Megumi said pulling up her sleeve's. "Let's get this show on the road..."
