Whoa!!! I didn't know so many people were going to review! -bows- Thank you. Last time I wrote RK fanfics I was lucky to even get one review. (Yes, my writing was that unexciting three years ago...)
Thanks to Susan and Kenta Divina for their suggestions. Kenta-san, I will make a chapter on what Kenshin felt when he left, due to demand, but more people wanted to see Kaoru's POV first. You understand, ne? ^^;;
*********
Kaoru
Love.
She knew she loved him.
And she knew to what extent.
She loved the hapless rurouni ever since he laid his amethyst gaze on her blazing sapphire ones. Since he saved her from Gohei.
Then he was just going to leave.
Kenshin no baka! Kaoru smiled ruefully as she ran towards the riverbank. You should have known that I wasn't going to let you get away.
A soft glow of a firefly moved before her face, bathing her features with the soft green light. Distracted, her hand reached out to touch the gentle firefly.
Mou! she thought, snatching her hand back. Where is he?
She didn't know why she worried about him. He has no reason to go and fight again. He has a family. He doesn't need to work for the new government anymore.
Kenshin has every reason to stay.
But still... Why do I feel... that tonight isn't going to be good?
She smacked herself. Baka! Think positive! He'll come back. I'm sure he will. To see the fireflies... to see...
Did he love her? The question that troubled her even when she lay on her futon, trying to go to sleep. Sometimes, she thought he did, but then he would go do something rurouni-like and make her wonder about his feelings for her.
Her steps began to slow as she neared her destination. She breathed heavily for a moment, looking up to gaze at the dozens of the small glowing creatures flying around her.
Mou! Where is he?
She looked around. No one was there. Frustrated, she slapped her forehead.
I am going to give that baka rurouni a piece of my mind for making me worry...
"Those fireflies are beautiful tonight, aren't they?"
She turned around joyfully. "Kenshin, you're back!"
His somber expression did not change when she greeted him.
"Kenshin?"
Oh no... he can't be... he can't... he can't be leaving me!!!
