this story. Enjoy, minna!
This is Called Fate, Boys and Girls Chapter 8- A New Beginning
Sano groaned as somebody shook him roughly. Muttering, he took his pillow and tried to hit the person with it, but the pillow was snatched away and the shaking continued.
"What the heck do you want? It's too early, for kami's sake!" Sano grumpily muttered again, and opened his eyes, too see Megumi's face above his, a scowl on her features. Yahiko was beside her, and he had a look of anxiety. Sano sat up, frowning.
"What? Did- where's Kenshin?" Sano suddenly asked, realizing the red-haired swordsman was gone.
"He is at the clinic. Kaoru is there as well. She was stabbed, and Kenshin brought her there in time. She is very weak, but she is alive."
Sano sprang up. "Why didn't you tell me??? Let's go!"
Yahiko snorted. "We didn't tell you because you were asleep, baka."
Sano glared at him for a brief second, before dashing out the door, and running towards the doctor's office. Megumi and Yahiko dashed out after him. "Sano, matte!"
(~)~(~)~(~)
Skidding to a halt, Sano threw open the shoji screen and looked around. Kenshin came out of the room that he had been in with Kaoru, and smiled quietly.
"Sano, how did you know that sessha would be here, that you did?" Kenshin asked.
Sano jerked a thumb over his shoulder, indicating Megumi behind him. Megumi shrugged.
"I thought that they would like to know, Kenshin."
Kenshin slowly nodded. Yahiko barged in, a hopeful look on his face. "So, is Kaoru okay? Are you and her back together? What happened to that Daisuke guy?"
Kenshin chuckled. "Chotto matte, Yahiko-kun. Hai, Kaoru is going to be okay, and yes, we are "back together" as you call it. As for Daisuke," His face darkened slightly. "He killed himself." Sano whistled. "Wow." He scratched his head. "Anoo. doushite? And how did Jou-chan get stabbed?" 'And why did you just call her Kaoru?' he thought to himself.
Sighing, Kenshin told them of how Daisuke revealed his true intentions, and of how he almost killed himself, in seeing that Kaoru was "dead", and how she had stopped him from doing so, only leaving out the part where they had kissed.
Sano whistled again. "You really love her, don't you, Kenshin? Killing yourself for her, she's lucky." Sano said softly. Kenshin smiled slightly, but said nothing. "So, can we see her?"
Megumi shook her head. "Gomen, but she should be left to rest. It will be a long time before she is well again."
Yahiko sat down on the floor. "Well, then we're going to stay here until we can see her! I'm not moving from this spot!"
Megumi chuckled, and headed for the kitchen. "Well, I'll get some breakfast for us, and then we'll see if Kaoru-chan is up to it."
Yahiko nodded. "Yosh!"
After they had eaten, they took a tray and entered Kaoru's room, where she lay, dangerously pale. Kenshin frowned, kneeling next to her on the futon. "Kaoru? Are you awake?" He asked softly, and Kaoru opened her eyes slowly, squinting.
"Kenshin." She breathed, and reached a hand up to him, caressing his cheek, He clasped her hand, and smiled for her, only her.
Sano, Yahiko, and Megumi stood there, feeling very out of place, awkward at these new displays of affection coming from the two people.
Kenshin rubbed a finger across her knuckles. "Are you up to eating, koishii? You need to regain your strength." He said quietly, and the other people in the room shifted uncomfortably, which the couple where quite oblivious to. Sano raised an eyebrow. 'Koishii, huh? That was fast.'
Kaoru tried to sit up, and Kenshin immediately helped her, supporting her back with his free hand, careful not to touch her wound. Megumi brought the tray over, and Kaoru smiled as thanks, talking too painful for her. She slowly ate, Kenshin helping along the way, and they sat quietly until she was finished. Kaoru sat back, and placed the last bowl back on the tray, closing her eyes. Kenshin frowned worriedly. "Daijabou, Kaoru?"
Kaoru opened her eyes tiredly, and managed a small smile. "Aa, Kenshin. Ano, I just feel so bad, for leaving you guys, and actually trusting someone like Daisuke. Sumimasen, minna."
"You have nothing to apologise for, Jou-chan! We should have seen through his tactic and kicked him out before he did this! I'm just glad that he didn't kill you, and that he is gone, so he can't cause any more trouble." Sano grinned, trying to cheer the group up.
Yahiko nodded his agreement. "Hai! You need to get better busu, so you can keep training me with your ugly face."
At this, Kaoru smiled brightly, a new look in her eyes. "And when I do, Yahiko-CHAN, I'll kick your little skinny butt from here to Kyoto."
The group laughed, and they cheerfully began talking, like nothing ever happened.
(~)~(~)~(~)
Kenshin stood in the courtyard of the Kamiya Dojo, and got down on one knee, facing Kaoru. "Kaoru, will you marry me?" Kenshin asked quietly. Kaoru, eyes wide, embraced him tightly. "Hai, Kenshin!" Kenshin smiled, and whispered into her ear, "This is for the other one, that I didn't know about." (A/N: you know, when Kenshin gave her that ring, and Kaoru thought that he proposed to her?) Kaoru playfully slapped him on the shoulder. "Yes, for that other one! Mou, I actually thought you had proposed to me!" Kenshin laughed, and slipped the ring onto her finger, which fit perfectly. He then gathered her into his arms, and kissed her.
Tomoe and her husband watched from above, and Tomoe rested her head on his shoulder. "Isn't romance wonderful, anata?" She asked.
"Hai, Tomoe, it is." He kissed her forehead, and Tomoe smiled, watching the couple below.
"I hope you have a wonderful life with her, Himura Kenshin." She whispered, and they turned and left, never looking back.
THE END
Author's Notes: YATTA! I did it! I finished it! Now I can rest without that in the back of my mind. Again, I apologize for not doing this sooner. I hoped you enjoyed it, and I'll be seeing ya around! Ja mata ne, minna!
