Part 4

' why is it hard to tell someone that you love him? I know he doesn't love me and I am just his friend. why is it so hard?' kaoru's mind drifted while he looks at kenshin with sad eyes

"kaoru-dono" kenshin looked at her and he was trying to read her mind

"I'm ok kenshin c'mon lets go home. I'm feeling dizzy all of a sudden." She responded to not let kenshin now what was she thinking

"kaoru-chan are you ok" misao asked looking so concerned for her friend

"kaoru-dono is just feeling dizy I'd better take her home thanks for your concern we better be going bye."

Kenshin and kaoru walked home. On the way home they met a mysterious woman who looked at them with her dark eyes.

"kenshin" the woman called him

kaoru looked at kenshin with confusion

"who is she?"

"wait here kaoru-dono ok?"

"demo I"

"pls. just wait here"

kenshin suddenly disappeared and kaoru was left alone in the bench thinking of what the possible reason was

"tomoe is that you?" kenshin spoke to the woman in front of her

"kenshin who is she? Is she your new girlfriend?" the woman replied coldly

"its none of your business! Why do you have to bother my life again and why are you here!" kenshin shouted

tomoe shed tears hearing kenshin shout

"pls. I just want to be with you. Don't tell me that you're in love with her. I left akira because you're still on my mind. I still love you kenshin"

"I'm sorry but I can't go back to you. I love her so please just leave me alone"

Kenshin turned around and started to walk away. Tomoe hugged him from his back and buried herself in it.

"Kenshin pls. Don't go. I still love you."

Kenshin faced and hugged her and he whispered in her ear " gomen"

And then he turned and walked away. He stopped to see a crying girl hiding behind the tree. "kaoru-dono?"

Kaoru faced him. she stared at him blankly and her eyes was filled with tears. She ran as fast as she can to get away from him.

"kaoru-dono! Wait!"

he ran to chase her. kenshin caught up with her and he held her arm tightly so she won't get loose.

"kaoru-dono you misunderstood"

"what did I misunderstood? Is that about you and your past lover? Is that it?" kaoru said half-shouting

kenshin loosened his grip in her hand. "how did you know?"

" when you left me a strange man appeared to me and told me about that woman you were with. her name is tomoe yukishiro am I right" (still crying)

"yes but she is all in my past and kaoru-dono you misunderstood"

" I don't want to here your excuses. Just leave me alone. I don't want to see you anymore!"

Kenshin hugged her tightly so she wont run away.

He brried his face in kaoru's head. " It was in the past. But now I'm in love with you. don't ever leave me."

"ke...kenshin" she couldn't resist him she put her hand in kenshin's neck and hugged him tightly.

"do you love me kaoru? If not I promise I will go away,."

" I love you kenshin. you're the one who filled the emptiness of my heart.. Don't ever go away" kaoru hugged him tightly.

" I promise I will never leave you I love you"

the moon is shinning above them and in that night the two couples felt the satisfaction of their hearts.

owari!
