A/N: Okay, so who, besides me, is TOTALLY AND UTTERLY SICK OF THIS KENSHIN+MEGUMI SHIT?!?!?!
*sees every single person raise their hands*
I thought so....
Well, here is the "promised chapter".
This chapter is lengthy and Kenshin finds his feelings!
OH, and at the beginning, I can't really describe Kaoru's sitting position when she sits beside Kenshin,
and I can't put what I want to in the story, so basically, for all of you who like Evangelion, she's sitting like
Gendo Ikari. ^^;;; (Yeah, 'Kaoru sat Gendo position', HOW STUPID DOES THAT SOUND?!)
I really hope you all enjoy the following chapter!
(~As always, to Spellcaster~)

CHAPTER 4: WANDERING
Kaoru opened the door to the dark room, the room with the two stained glass windows, the room she could sense that Megumi had been in earlier.
She saw Kenshin sitting at the large wooden table. He was deep in thought. Yeah, Megumi had been there all right...
As she stepped into the room, Kenshin shook his head quickly, stepping out of his trance.
Kaoru stood up taller than normal, and she looked like she was putting a barrier around herself like she normally
Didn't do around Kenshin. He cocked his head, wondering what was going on with his friend.
"Hello Kenshin..." she said, her voice even sounding protected from the world around her.
Kenshin blinked in confusion, "Um, hello."
Still carrying herself like a shield, she walked over to the table and sat down in the chair next to the head of it, where he was sitting.
She relaxed a bit now, putting her elbows on the table and linking her fingers so that they were in a form
that she could rest her top lip and nose against them.
"Why are you here?" Kenshin asked her, still a bit confused at Kaoru's strange way of acting.
"What, do I not have a right to be in here?" She responded, narrowing her eyes.
"No, no, I wasn't saying that at all, but it looked as if you wanted to say something."
Kaoru sighed into her fingers, then slowly lifted her head from them and said in a small voice,
"Well,"
"Uh-huh?"
"...Congratulations about you and Megumi. I'm sure you'll be a good father." She finished, her voice barely above a whisper.
What a convincing congratulations,' Kenshin thought sarcastically, but responded with a sincere, "Well thanks. I'm not so sure about that last comment though." He winked and smiled.
Normally Kaoru would have laughed, but all she decided to do at the time was smile.
A long silence followed, and through it all they didn't make any eye contact.
Kaoru put her hands to their resting use again, only this time her forehead occupied it, and she closed her eyes.
Finally she broke the silence, "Kenshin?"
"Yes?"
"Do you really think that--that Aoshi and Misao really made the best choices for us?" She said, slowly opened
one of her now almost blank looking, deep blue eyes.
"Like how?" He asked, folding his arms on the table and leaning onto them in a relaxed position.
"Like, who they put us with. Do you really think they made good decisions?"
Kenshin blinked a few times, wondering why suddenly the subject came up. Lowering his head towards the ground to avoid any possible eye contact at all, he said, "actually, I'm not sure."
Kaoru's eyes opened a bit wider and she quickly raised her head. "Is that really so?"
"Yeah...it is."
Kaoru, not wanting to make anything obvious, bit her bottom lip and said, "But I'm sure Megumi really loves you."
"Oh I know that for a fact," Kenshin responded, raising his head a little, "and I pretty much love her too. But it's a
light love, not exactly a heavy one."
"Oh..." Kaoru responded.
Kenshin laughed, "It indeed exists though. I'm also planning on keeping it that way. Maybe it'll fall into a heavy
place."
"That isn't very likely, Kenshin," Kaoru responded, getting out of her chair.
"What does that mean?" Kenshin asked, not angrily either.
Kaoru just smiled and said, "With those words just now, I could see through you. It isn't truly likely, but you'll say it is. In a false way Megumi will writhe her way into that large gap of love in your heart. But it won't be as real as you think it is. It won't be as true a love as it feels or as it seems. For her it will, but for your own heart, it can't be. Still, you will try so hard. I must be going now, Kenshin."
With that spoken, she turned and left the room.
After she closed the doors, she sunk to the floor.
'All of that, what I just said to him, it's true. He loved her enough to make her pregnant after all...but it really will always be a light love that hurts me deeply.'
A few tears streamed silently down her face as she grasped her bangs.
'He will pretend to make it true," she whispered to the darkness enclosing her message.

~ Six days later~
"Four souls!" Misao called running into the room.
They all looked up from their training.
"Shishio and the freeze force are at it again, come on let's go!"
The four souls nodded. As Megumi fastened her hand jewel a bit tighter, for combat, the other three turned to her.
Kenshin walked towards Megumi and said worriedly, "You shouldn't fight."
"Yeah, Megumi," Kaoru growled out at her friend.
Megumi sighed and looked down, "No, I still want to fight. I'll just try a harder barrier than usual."
Kenshin sighed, "All right."
Kaoru turned to Sano and whispered, "Typical Kenshin, always letting Megumi do what she WANTS."
Sano's mouth dropped open and he responded with a, "That was kind of cruel Kaoru."
She flipped her hair and winked at the one she supposedly loved. "Ha, I know. Brilliance sometimes comes
in a cruel way."
"It isn't a very pleasant thought either." Sano said in a 'duh' tone.
Kaoru playfully slapped him from the back of the head and began laughing.
"Hey, what are you two planning back there?" Kenshin asked, he and Megumi's eyes at a strange narrow position.
Sano and Kaoru's faces grew red as a tomato, "WHY YOU!!!!" They both fumed and gave Kenshin a good hard
punch before they all left for battle.
"TSUNAMI!" Kaoru yelled, slashing one of the minions of the force with her water sword.
It writhed with pain and then slowly turned to dust, that fell to the ground and then blew away.
"Well that wasn't so hard..." Kaoru said, wiping her forehead.
"Um, Kaoru, they have reinforcements." Megumi said, tapping Kaoru's shoulder and pointing up at the sky.
Waiting there were a bunch of flying minions that had ghostly forms. Millions crowed the grey clouds up above the heads of the four souls.
"There are too many of them!" Kaoru yelled, in a flabbergasted mode. She couldn't believe how many there were.
"Well then don't hesitate to move away!" Kenshin yelled, running to a place where there were much less minions.
Megumi, Sano, and Kaoru nodded.
"I'll stay here though, dodging is easy for me."
"Suit yourself Kaoru if you want suicide!" Kenshin yelled, still running. Megumi was now following him.
Just then, the minions raised their bony looking arms, and shot forward green lazers that smashed into the ground.
Kaoru dodged a few, before motioning for Sano to go with them.
"No, Kaoru. I don't want to leave you alone here."
"That's not true Sanosuke!" Kaoru snapped back at his comment, "now do what you really want and go help
the others!"
Sano sighed and did as he was told. No use arguing with Kaoru.
There were only a few where Kenshin and Megumi were standing, and it was only about 30 feet away. Kaoru was fighting most of the minions alone. Suddenly they saw Kaoru's water attack hit about ten of them, and they disappeared.
"Go Kaoru!" Kenshin exclaimed happily.
Although then, about 100 more took their place, and hard rain began to fall.
Suddenly the three's jewels began glowing, so they presumed that Kaoru must be getting the same message.
"RETREAT RETREAT!" It was Misao. "DO AS I SAY, AND DO IT NOW!"
They all sighed and nodded. And, 30 feet away, so did Kaoru.
They began running towards the base, which meant that Kaoru was still behind them.
Megumi got a little weak and sunk slightly to the ground, that being Kaoru got a bit closer. Just as she could see Kenshin and Sanosuke tending to Megumi, a large green laser from the opponent shot her right through the leg.
She cried out in pain, falling to the ground. She couldn't get up, they could kill her now...
Kenshin and the other two turned to Kaoru when they heard her scream, and Sano was about to react, but Kenshin had done it before him.
"Kaoru, come on, get up!"
Kaoru looked up from shielding her back. She had caused a temporary cease-fire from the enemy with her mind, but it would only last until she had to focus all her power into staying alive. She saw Kenshin holding his hand out to her, beckoning her to stand.
"No. Megumi probably told you to come." She had seen him look at Megumi this morning. It was the false true love that Kaoru had seen the night before.
"Kaoru, she didn't."
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! NOW GO TEND TO MEGUMI AND LEAVE ME BE!" She said, shooing him away.
Kenshin stood farther back, and was about to protest when Kaoru said, "THE CEASE FIRE WON'T LAST LONG!"
As the newly falling rain blended with the tears falling on Kaoru's face, she motioned for Kenshin to run ahead.
"Go help the one you love," she said, sounding tired. "Tell Sano to stay there too and help Megumi get back safely."
Kenshin looked her deep in the eye, and reluctantly ran away.
Once they were running away, into the fog, Kaoru couldn't help but smile as she curled up into a ball on the ground and let go of the thoughts of cease-fire.
She called out as each laser hit her, all pounding down hard on her back.
Just before she became unconscious, she heard a loud battle cry coming from the distance.
"I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!" and as she opened her eyes, she saw Kenshin shooting just enough to make a few disappear. Sure they would regenerate but it bought them some time. Kenshin rushed towards Kaoru, picked her up without slowing down, and got her out of the way before the next blast hit her.
"Kenshin! I told you to go!"
"I'm sorry Kaoru, I couldn't let you die like that." He shielded her and began running for safety.
Kaoru just stared at Kenshin in shock, thinking 'Why?' all the way back until the two were safely back at the base.
****
Kaoru sat in her bed with a blanket drawn around her shoulders.
'This sucks, rain sucks.'
Just then, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Come in!" she said.
The door slightly opened and Sano stepped into the dark room.
"Sanosuke!" Kaoru said and smiled.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just surprised that Kenshin came back for me and you--"
"--I didn't?"
"Yes."
"I don't know what suddenly came over Kenshin, but he told me that what you wanted
was for us to get Megumi back to safety of course. With all my heart I wanted to help you,
I swear. But halfway back, Kenshin just stopped and put Megumi in my possession to get back safely.
We all were arguing for about a minute, but then he just ran off into the fog..."
"You really did want to get me out of the mess, didn't you?"
Sano nodded.
"Then why didn't you?"
"I don't know! There was something pushing me otherwise, and it felt like you own will."
"Oh," said Kaoru, a slight smile creeping onto her face.
And before she could even react, she was being seriously kissed by Sanosuke.
She was about to return it, but realizing what she might just be giving in to; she pulled away from Sano
and turned her head away.
"I'm sorry, but...I can't."
Sano nodded, "I understand."
He got up, and just before he left, he said in a low and quiet voice, "I know why Kaoru. Don't think I can't see into you. I'll always be second best to you."
Kaoru gasped as he the door shut. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head.
She was lying down, her head rested against her pillow, covered by her blanket, and she was lost in thought.
'Kenshin, what did you do that for? I will get the answer...'
The next morning, Kaoru went into the room where she found Kenshin a week before.
Sure enough, we was there.
She smiled, not tensing up like she did before, and sat down by Kenshin, who returned her smile.
"Thank you for saving me Kenshin."
"Anytime, Kaoru."
"Why did you do it anyway?" Kaoru said, crossing her arms and setting them on the table.
"Honestly, I don't really know. I felt compelled towards you, Kaoru. I don't know why."
He turned to her, his violet eyes meeting directly with her blue ones.
"Even now, I don't ever want to pull my gaze away from yours..."
Kaoru, her eyes still fixed on Kenshin's, said, "I know how you feel. I have since the day I opened my eyes."
"Kaoru, do you--"
"Yes Kenshin. I know what you are feeling right now."
"Then what is it?"
Kaoru pulled her gaze away from him, just so that she could get out of her chair and kneel next to his.
"That is what TRUE love feels like Kenshin. A love we don't want to love, because it would go against our creation. A love you honestly can't love, because of your fatherhood soon coming on it's way, but--"
"--but we can't stop it now." Kenshin finished.
Kaoru nodded.
"Then, let's just seal secrecy..."
Kaoru looked up at Kenshin, "With what?"
"With this," Kenshin said planting a kiss onto her lips.
Kaoru smiled as she gave into what she always wanted.
They were both content with their secret, but they were both still thinking one thing:
'Please don't let them find out, please don't let them be mad. Please don't let them find out, please don't let them be mad.'
A/N: Yeah, his falling in love for her was a bit fast, even though it took for damn chapters.
I hope all of you like the LENGTH OF THIS THING!
Damn this is the longest chapter I've ever written in my life.
(Spellcaster: Other than that Koharu+Shinjuro* LEMON that you wrote when you couldn't sleep.
You worked on that for three hours you said.
Demonica: *blush* Yeah, but THEY didn't need to know that!)
Well ANYWAY, *glares at Spell who laughs* I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and the length.
BTW, once my reviews get into the 50's, I MIGHT begin on thanking the reviewers very once and awhile
if I really love the reviews.
*=For those of you who don't know, (mostly all of you since I don't know of anyone else who has seen Samurai Hunt for the Sword besides me, Spell, and a few other friends of ours,) Koharu and Shinjuro are a couple from Samurai Hunt for the Sword. They are also in combat with the Shinjuro and Mayura pairing but a relationship between those two DO exist hehe. Well I'm shutting up now...SO GO AND REVIEW!
More Reviews=Happy Me=More Updates=Happy Readers! It's the perfect cycle!
(By the way this is 16 pages long…just checked.)
*sees every single person raise their hands*
I thought so....
Well, here is the "promised chapter".
This chapter is lengthy and Kenshin finds his feelings!
