Chapter 4
With that he was gone. Kaoru just stood there frozen in the middle of a dark corridor, once the candle's flame died out.
Kaoru's eyes opened slowly to greet a new morning her face was buried at her new soft pillow.She noticed that, it was foggy rainy morning.
'Humm... What an awful weather.' She stretched herself as she turned around so she could be finally awake.
"Ahhhhhhh...!!!!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Kenshin was sitting casually at the head of her bed, silently watching her every move.
"Good morning Miss Kaoru" Said a cheerfull Kenshin, as if being in there was the most natural thing in the world.
She was a little surprised to hear Kenshin's voice sound so happy, after yesterday events.
"What..What are you doing in here?" Kenshin could smell her delicate jasmine scent, that by now was everywhere in this room, over the pillows, the sheets.all around.
"Well, my dear Kaoru. I have some plans for us today and I want you to be ready in an hour.We will buy some new clothes for you. Wear the dress that is on your armchair."
He touched her cheek ever so softly. She gasped as his warm hand moved from her cheek to her lips.He had decided after last night's incident, that he should slow down his pace, give her some time to get used to her surroundings, and specially to him.
Kaoru breathed in Kenshin's scent. Her thoughts swirled as she looked at those amber eyes.
"I've chosen that dress specially for you." Their eyes met and locked. Kaoru felt weak under his gaze. It was so direct...so unnerving.
He stood up and before the door was closed he eyed her once again. "I'll be waiting for you at the living room."
Kaoru just nodded, to express her understanding. The door was closed minutes later.
She looked at the dress it didn't quite match her taste for clothes, but she would give it a try. It was a long cream colored dress with a simple waist band that should be bouded from behind. It had a low neck that didn't show anything, but attracted, to that ivory skin, the soaring eyes of human imagination. Her hair was tied into a bun with an adorned loop, which had delicade blue little flowers, and matched her eyes.
Kaoru blushed as she looked at her image, after years wearing the same black school uniform she had grown used to that, but wear this sleeky material, made her feel like those characters from the books she used to read, when she felt depressed.
She always imagined herself in another world, a world of love and dreams that would come true. But they were only fairy tales that were unlikely to come truth, specially for her.
But now, she gazed at herself once again, she could forget all the past and lift her head to the present, and give it a try.Kenshin was a handsome man, Kaoru could not deny this, he was her only hope for some future happiness. 'I hope Kenshin is still willing to accept me.'
She met Kenshin sitting on the couch, reading. He noticed her presence and stood up.
His eyes wondered over her figure, she was beautiful.no! more than beautiful, she was a goddness.
"Thank you Mr Kenshin for the dress, it's beautiful." Kenshin just stared at her. She fidged and averted her eyes from him. It was then that he noticed how uncomfortable she was under his gaze.
"It didn't make you beautiful my dear, it only accentuated your beauty." Kaoru blushed at the compliment. "Why do you blush every time you are near me Miss Kaoru, you act as if no one has ever admired you before."
Kaoru was finding it hard to concentrate, as he watched her.
"Umm.it's .just ..that no one ever has... so I'm not used to receive compliments."
Kenshin strode over her and brushed a strand of hair from her face delicately.There was something in his voice, as he spoke next, that was different. husky. almost dangerous.
A tone that caused her stomach to knot and her knees to weaken.
"That's because you were born to receive the compliments from only one man."
Like a stealthy cat hunting its' prey, he stood behind her.She could feel the heat radiating from his body.
It was a dangerous game they were playing, but she was the one being seduced.
Then he smiled down at her, took her arm on his own and leaded to the door.
"Kaoru we won't be able to buy all you need if we do not leave now. We'll have breakfast at a very good café I know I town."
She nodded and let him lead the way.
As they walked through the town many pairs of eyes followed Kaoru's form. She was aware to the stir she was causing, so she held onto Kenshin's arm tighter.
Kenshin felt the hungry eyes that tried to consume her in every little way.
He took her small hand in his and guided her through the crowd. He looked at every men that dared to look at her with a murderous look.
No one would be able to touch her, to see this beauty, she belonged to him and him alone. Those amber eyes narrowed as the thought of losing her to one of those filthy men came across his mind.
This would never happen as long as he was breathing and walking by her side.
