Kenshin had no choice now… as he couldn't allow an unconscious lady out in the night alone as things were sure to happen. He carried the lady and started walking. He sniffs the air around him.
'Jasmine… she smells like jasmine.' Kenshin thought but then he started cursing himself internally.
'Shit… I'm going crazy every moment.' Kenshin thought as he shifted Kaoru again and walked towards the Ishin head quarters.
Her mission has started, and this was the mission that not only changed her life but also her future. Nobody knew it… not even Kaoru knew… what the god had plan for her.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
'Where am I?' Kaoru thought as her eyes fluttered open. She looked on her left, she saw Battousai sleeping form sitting at the far corner. Her eyes suddenly filled with hatred.
She placed her hands on her back. The sound of her kodachi could be heard. But she cooled down again as she remembered what Saitou had said before she left.
'Don't do any rash things Kaoru… I won't be there… you have to look out for yourself… And remember to dream of me.' Kaoru giggled internally. But she kept her volume down. And stood up as she straightened her kimono as she folded the futon and walked out of the room.
**********
Kenshin fluttered his heavy eyelids, his eyes slowly settled on the folded futon.
'She's wakes up so early.' Kenshin thought as he dozed of again. His eyes suddenly jolted open.
'Shit… I was too careless' Kenshin quickly ran down the stairs just to find Kaoru a few stacks of plate of food. She was in a blue colour kimono along with her white obi. He was startled when he saw her spotting him in the mid stairs.
She just went on while taking the plates.
Kenshin quickly chased after her.
"Anou…" Kenshin started.
"My name? I'm Kaoru Kamiya Kaoru."
"Erm… Kaoru san… may I ask what are you doing?" Kenshin asked again.
"It quite obvious."
"You are helping out the kitchen." Kenshin stated again as he closed his eyes.
"Well, you already knew it." Kaoru said again without looking at him as he continue.
"I need to talk to you." Kenshin tried to stop her.
"I'm busy right now… we'll talk later." Kaoru stated coldly while she placed her hand at the door.
"Sumimasen! Breakfast is here." Kaoru said while she opened the door. Little did they know, all the Ishin came out.
"WOW!!!"
"So this is Himura's girlfriend?"
"She's beautiful."
"She's younger than Himura by 1 year."
"The only thing different is that Himura is emotionless and his girlfriend looks more able in expressing her emotion."
"Watashi wa Kaoru desu… dozou yoroshikun." Kaoru said as she smiled at the men who were drooling now."
Iizuka now went over to Kenshin and whispered to him.
"Wow… Himura… you have a good taste and how was last night?" Iizuka said as he nudged him.
Kenshin flamed up immediately. As his eye's glowed in amber colour. His hands went to the hilt of his katana. All of them backed back.
"Shit… nearly had my life for a joke." Iizuka complained.
"Yeah… nearly forgot that he is 'Hitokiri Battousai'." Another said.
Kaoru after putting all he dishes in place, she went out of the room and to the kitchen to get another set for herself. After that she went to the room where she woke up from.
Kenshin seeing this… after he ate finish he went up to his room to talk to Kaoru.
"Eh?"
"What I am trying to say is to forget what you had seen last night and swear not to spread it out and lastly leave this place." Kenshin said as he sat on the porch.
"Am I'm disturbing you if I do stay here? The landlady kinda likes me ya know."
"Your family will worry you." Kenshin stated without looking at her.
"If I had a home and a family… I wouldn't be wondering about late at night and this and that." Kaoru said as she closed and opened her eyes again.
'I have to bear with it.' Kenshin thought
"I don't know… but I have no place and time to take care of you." Kenshin said as he looked at her.
"So… are you going to kill me like the person who you killed last night?" Kaoru said as she placed her chopsticks down.
"It is your freedom to think what you like. I am not a man who sees and kill… I am only serving a purpose as a bakumatsu samurai. But if my target is unarmed even if he is my enemy… I would definitely not kill them."
"So if… I have a katana now in my hand… will you kill me?" Kaoru asked as she stood up with a set of plates.
"Ore wa…" Kenshin trying to get something out of his mouth but none came. Kaoru decided to leave him alone.
"Wait till you have an answer for my question… I would like to hear it." Kaoru said as she opened and walked out of the room.
If Kenshin would have stop her from moving out and looked at her… he would have saw the real Kaoru. Not the always cold Kaoru.
Kaoru continue to walk out as she thought to herself.
'He looks cute when he isn't killing… WAIT!! What am I thinking about… I have Hajime already… enough… I don't need anyone else.' Kaoru thought as she shook her head. After washing her dishes she walked out to the backyard as she sat down and sort out her thought. Just then, a kunai flew her way. She easily caught it in between her fingers. A note was attached to it…. It read…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaoru chan…
burn this paper after you read it.
We have new instruction for you… try to get close to Batttousai… BE his woman… Hijikata sama said that it was easier for you to get his weakness like this.
Oh yeah… your Saitou… heard about it and nearly got into a fight with Hijikata sama… I think he is jealous… anyway be careful and be on the alert always.
Susumu.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She folded the paper and placed it in her obi. She sighed again. As she took the kunai and threw the kunai to the furthest tree that she could see.
'I have to think of a way to get close to Battousai but how?' Kaoru thought and thought of a plan.
'How?? Think Kaoru think??" Kaoru literally bang her head on her fist.
"What are you doing?" Kenshin asked as he saw what Kaoru did.
"Eh?" Kaoru looked at him confusedly.
Like this the both of them lived through a week.
*****A week later*****
"No matter how I look at her… the way she lives, walk, talk and look…. She is not from Kyoto."
"She doesn't connect to the outer world. That's why she can hardly be a spy."
"But there is still some possibility." Iizuka resumed.
"What's her effect on Himura?" Katsura said without looking at Iizuka
"It's not any bad effects… but…" Iizuka stopped.
"But?" Katsura urged him to go on.
"His sword… his reflexes are not as quick as before." Iizuka continued as he ate his fishball.
Katsura just kept quiet although he was shocked that The Legendary Battousai may get attached to the girl.
…………………………………..
Kaoru was ordered to go out and buy some ingredients for dinner. But first she had to find someone to escort her out that was what the landlady said to her. The only person she thought of was…
Battousai
She sighed again…
'I haven't even gotten close to him yet… the level between us is till a very fragile friendship.' Before she could even think of a solution she was at the doorstep. She opened it and saw Battousai playing with a top. She furrowed her eyebrow.
"Do you always do that?" Kaoru asked as she placed her fist on her hip.
"It's none of your problem… what do you want?" Kenshin asked.
"Battousai… I need an escort to follow me to buy some things for dinner. Are you free?" Kaoru asked.
"Don't call me Battousai… I do have a name…"
"Hai hai… Himura san. So?"
"Wait for me at the door." Kenshin said while waved at her. Kaoru shrugged her shoulders and walked to the door and wore her geta.
Kenshin changed into a new gi and a hakama as he wore his slippers.
"We are going off now Okami san!" Kaoru shouted at the door, as she started walking out with Kenshin side by side. Kaoru took a glimpse at him. As Kenshin did the same sometimes.
