'This must be the real Kamiya Kaoru.' He thought. Having to see Kaoru in this manner all of the weight to him did not matter him already. Soon the both of them reached back to the inn.
Kenshin followed Kaoru to the kitchen and left the things in there and went up to his room and rest. As for Kaoru she prepared dinner along with some of the maids with Okami san.
br
'Good… Kaoru… you are a born actor… haha~ Good… continue this relationship with him… and soon I am able to be his woman to find out more about the Ishin.' Kaoru thought silently as she started scaling the fish.
It was gonna be a long day for the both of them… but that was what they thought… little did they know… god have just plan something to stir their just found friendship.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Dinner was ready. Kaoru did the same thing… went to the same room that all the Ishin warriors had their meals. She had to set them out and then leave the room as usual. She took her own set and went up to the room only to find Kenshin sleeping at his usual place and form.
Kaoru set her meal down and took a look at him.
'He looks like a teenager when he's sleeping… I can't believe that he is the Battousai… But… he is… He looks so peaceful… I wonder why he became a Hitokiri?' Kaoru thought as she took the shawl on the table and slowly neared him.
'Wait! Why do I even care… Since he is sleeping… why not take this chance and kill him… Without Battousai… the Ishin is going to be useless.' She stopped and slowly reached to her back. She narrowed her eyes and touched the hilt. Suddenly, Kenshin started talking.
"Kao… ru…" Kenshin said as he keep nodding his head due to his sleep.
Kaoru's eyes widen… knowing that he had called out her name. Her eyes soften as she lowered her hand from the hilt…
'Maybe… maybe not today…' Kaoru thought as she started to walk towards him. When she was near enough, Kaoru place the shawl on his shoulder.
Kenshin's eyes immediately snapped open, still unsure due to his sleep. He found the person closing in to him, he quickly pull out his katana and pressed it at the person's throat. He had a dangerous look on his face.
Suddenly, the smell of jasmine came to his senses, the long raven hair touched Kenshin's skin. He looked at the person. Big, feared and shocked sapphire eyes met his amber narrow slits.
He quickly pushed her away, causing her to fall backwards, but due to her reflexes Kaoru only knelt down for her balance. She took the shawl that had dropped due to the impact Kenshin gave her.
'So… this is the Battousai…' Kaoru thought sadly as she placed the shawl on his shoulder before settling down to eat her meal.
Silence filled the air… it was until Kenshin started to talk.
"Kaoru…" Kenshin started.
"Nani?" Kaoru asked as she placed her chopstick down and looked at him.
"I'm sorry… I…" Kenshin continued again with his bang covering his eyes.
"It's okay… I understand fully… An assassin cannot trust anyone else but himself and his master ne…" Kaoru said softly as she turned away from him. The questioned she asked was answered clearly with the actions Kenshin gave her just a minute ago.
She suddenly felt her stomach churning she had lost her appetite. She stood up with her meal. She walked out of the room without turning back. From that… she knew… she could never ever get close to the Battousai… never. Who was she to him anyway.
…………………………………………………
But why… why was she feeling sour inside out. She never felt this before… even if Saitou quarreled with her… She didn't felt a bit of sourness and also… bitterness. Could she have loved him? She thought.
But then if so… what were my affections for Hajime. Are they just infatuation? First love? Puppy love? Kaoru thought and thought. She could never sort it out. She couldn't understand it. Tears started brimming in the corners of her eyes. She needed to get out… out of here. After writing a letter of thanks to the Battousai she left never looking back once.
…………………………………………………..
"Kaoru!!!" Kenshin shouted frantically as he could not find her anywhere. He went everywhere in the inn but nothing was found.
Then he found a letter in the kitchen… directed to him. He found it on top of the shawl that Okami san gave her. He opened the letter… it read….
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Kaoru san!!!" Okita shouted with joy after seeing Kaoru entering. Even Saitou had a thin smile plastered on his face.
"Welcome home…" Saitou said softly as Kaoru neared him.
"Tadaima." Kaoru said as she smiled at him and hugged him tight… very tight.
"Wow… Leave that to the room not the public…"
"Saitou… go and get her!"
"Yeah… You're the man!!"
"Yeah… You go man…!!!"
Sanosuke and the others shouted to Saitou and Kaoru. Kaoru just blushed as Saitou just kept quiet and moved away together with Kaoru.
'There must be something wrong with Kaoru… what's wrong with her?' Saitou thought.
Just then when Saitou stopped and wanted to ask her what's wrong, Hijikata came out of no where.
"Kaoru… in the room." After that Hijikata went into his room waiting for Kaoru.
Kaoru followed after him leaving Saitou in a trance.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Himura san,
Arigatou… I have got your answer… I would stay no longer… We might meet each other again… but… You might not recognize me… Thank you for letting me stay here and take care of me for such a long time… I will go now…
Sayonara…
Kaoru.
……………………………..
Kenshin felt numb suddenly… He couldn't think straight.
'Why… am I feeling this… She's gone… I should be happy… at least she doesn't have to irritate me all the time… Life with her without her… would always be the same… for me.' Kenshin thought as he folded the both the paper and the shawl and placed it in is gi. He was planning to go back to the room when suddenly Iizuka pop out of no where and stopped Kenshin.
"Kenshin… we have to meet Katsura sama now in the meeting room." Iizuka said with a stern face. Kenshin just nodded his head and followed Iizuka to the the meeting room.
When they neared the meeting room, sounds of clothes rustling and ladies voices could be heard
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Why did you return… I haven't given any information on that." Hijikata said with a stern face on his look.
"I… I couldn't get close to him… he wouldn't let me… He refused to trust me." Kaoru said as she cast her eyes on the ground.
"I see… Forget it then… This was a very hard mission… It is not a job for an assassin to trust anyone except himself and the master… Don't be too hard on yourself… Tell them to gather in the meeting room now… go." Hijikata said leaving no place for Kaoru to argue or explain that she should be punished.
Kaoru was soon out and have told everyone about the meeting. All have assembled.
Kaoru had already change into her gi and hakama uniform. Everything was the same. But now… the usual sparkle in her eye… the shine on her raven hair was gone. Saitou noticed it.
"Listen up!!!" Hijikata said to the whole Shinsen Gumi.
"The day after tomorrow is the night we get to overturn the tables… All the important members of the Ishin… They are at the Ikeda-ya inn… Get ready to fight!" Hijikata ordered.
"HAI!!!" Everyone said in unison.
Kaoru held her kodachis tighter until her knuckles went white.
