Chapter 4: And So, Words of Love Mean Nothing as of Now
~*~*~*~*~*
Oh, what is this…?
A young oracle and her dragon?
Has fate brought them together once again?
But, will it end in tragic tears or those of…?
He looked at her, eyes wide, how did she know? Was it really her? Slowly, as if her image would brake any second, he touched her cheek, and felt the smooth skin he had always been afraid to touch until now. "You're real…"
"Of course I am, should I be something else?" She asked, touching his hand, and holding it her to her cheek, wanting all the warmth it offered, not knowing how long it would last.
"No, never," he whispered as she slowly let go of his hand, watching it fall back to his side.
"That's good to learn, don't you agree?"
"Always."
"You probably figured it out by now, but we were all reborn and fated to meet again."
"Then you really are…"
"Yes, and you, are still me knight in shinning armor."
"Kaoru…" he reached out and grasped her, pulling the startled fate into a hug. Something deep inside of her started to stir at this close feeling, it was so right—even if it did seem a little off.
"Kenshin, there is something I want you to know…the feelings we had for each other in our past life mean nothing in this one."
"Come on Aki-kun! We can't bother them!" Tomoe had said, but that was before things really started to get interesting between the two they were watching from the bushes. From this spot they could see and hear everything going on between their respective cousins. And it was getting…a little hot, especially with that hug. But the last thing Kaoru had said brought silence between all four. In other words, no one expected something like that to be said.
"What do you mean?"
"I never got a straight answer, and in this life, I won't ever know a real answer unless we start anew."
"You mean, to start over with our relationship?"
"I like the way you seem to put it, batty-chan, and it is true all the way." She reached out and patted his check, watching his amber blink. She had been giving him several nicknames that day, that morning she had called him "her littler stalker" for following her about the house. Which was true…but he had a reason for doing so, which was something he couldn't quite think of, even now.
An alarm went off and Tomoe looked at her cell phone, and freaked. She stood up fast and grabbed Akira by the collar of his shirt. They were going to be late of they didn't leave now.
Kenshin and Kaoru watched the two run off, knowing then where the noise had come from, and neither couldn't help but blush. "That was surprising…"
"I totally agree, but…" he trailed off as he pulled her face in for a kiss.
"That was SO embarrassing," Tomoe said sometime later. "Getting caught in the act of spying."
"Only because of the alarm you set," reminded Akira, as if telling her it was all her fault that they were found.
"Oh, don't go blaming it all on me, it was your idea to spy."
"But look who agreed."
"How sweet, a lover's—"
"Shut up Sano!" They said in unison, glaring at the tori atama for a moment.
"So touchy. What happened anyway?"
"Oh, nothing, except, Enishi should look somewhere else for a girlfriend," said Akira, in a teasing tone.
"Oh, and why is that?" The one in mention asked, glaring at his sister's boyfriend, ready to pounce at any given second.
"We might just be seeing more of a couple between Kenshin and Kaoru, that is all."
"No way! You mean they're actually going to go for it?" Misao chirped in quickly, before adding in a fast way, "I mean, they only met the other day, right?"
"I know, a fast relationship after only about 24 hours."
"It must mean true love."
"Really Sano, I never expected someone of your stature would believe on something like that."
"I do to Kitsune, it all comes with the package."
"I guess this is true, coming from a person how is afraid of the train and anything else that is new and electronically. And don't call me kitsune, Tori Atama."
"What did you just say?"
"That you're a tori atama, and I totally have to agree."
"Don't get into this as well Weasel!"
"What did you just call me?"
"You heard me loud and clear!"
"Guys…"
"Take it back!"
"Not until you do!"
"Um, guys…"
"What?!"
"I've got the tickets."
"Oh…"
"Well, lets go!"
The kiss they had shared was still sending nice shivers through her spine, even if it was late into the night. In front of her the books and papers for her homework assignment laid all about, no special order but she was still able to keep track of things.
At first she couldn't quite figure out how people could do something like this, though, she never went through a normal 'mortal' school before, learning how to control her 'sight' powers with her sisters was different then anything else her had ever gone through. And the lessons she went through as a child were also different, from learning with her father and mother…she was never used to a real school such as this.
A shot of pain went through, causing her to cry out in shock. Tears springing as it shook her body with great force. Everything seemed to hurt, but from what.
"Kao-chan!" Soba called, opening the door to Kaoru's room, finding the girl curled on the floor, crying in pain. "Kao-chan…?"
"It hurts…everything hurts!" She cried out once more, and this time louder, almost like a scream of death, if anyone there had a sixth sense anyway.
"Megumi-san, can you do anything?" Soba asked, hurriedly, the girl was going into medicine, wouldn't that count for something?
"Kao-san, calm down, take deep breaths," Megumi advised, and the girl tried, but the pain just continued to calm, and her last conscious thought was…
The Mirror…
~*~*~*~*~*
AN: Cliffhanger! ^.^ I just love them, don't you agree? As for what is going on, you will see in the next chapter, when everyone meets a new guest of four who happen to just drop in, with the Order of the Future taking advantage of the situation like nothing ever seen before.
haruko: it all depends with the next chapter, when people get tested by a certain order. And I like the amber eyes better, they remind of Youko Kurama-sama's gold eyes. *faints for a moment*
Kriska: if it helps, I don't quite get it either, but this fic is just part of this big series of fics that intertwine from the main one, which is like…fours long stories in one. But, I'm just putting up the small ones right now, I don't know about anything else.
Naomi: I know its in Latin because of Cantate Domino, a song I sung in Chorus. And the director was so picky about the Cantate, it was really annoying. Thank you for the bit of information. We'll just have to see about the name thing, we'll all just have to see.
Clownsareevi & Darkshadowheartless: You know I would let you proofread anything I write for this story and others, but, I don't have the patient to let you proofread this one…its 9:09 right now, and I don't want to wait until tomorrow for you to read it! Sorry.
omochi: ah, so we shall see, if it ever comes out to be. Don't mind what I just said, anyway, the next chapter will be a long one, with a look over in someone's life and a bunch of a little fights, one being quite bloody (my dark side likes that part…she's gonna be the one writing it for me… ^.^).
Jay: its okay to be confused, I'm always confused with all of my fics. Never know where they are going to run. (That was a bad joke, if anyone got it.)
Thank you for reviewing and I hope you all liked this chapter and can't wait for the next!
