A Twist of Fate - Chapter 4
Kenshin grumbled as he trudged up the hill, pulling Kaoru along with him, with the rain beating down on their backs. They'd been climbing up the hill for an hour, and the rain had started about 15 minutes ago.
Kuso ! Why did Katsura-sensei have to chose a place so high and deserted ?!
Just then, Kaoru slipped on a wet stone, and screamed, yanking onto Kenshin's hand for support. Thankfully, he was already very alert in case of any spies hiding in the trees, so he instinctively secured Kaoru's hand in his own.
"Oi, Kaoru ! Daijoubu-ka ?" he asked with a very concerned tone in his voice.
"Aa..." Kaoru answered abit shakily, and grabbed Kenshin's hand to help herself up. Kenshin also held her hand tightly to help her. The force from Kenshin's help gave Kaoru an extra boost , and when she got up her face was extremely close to his.
He felt the blood rushing up his neck onto his face; during the few months that he'd spent with her, he'd unexpectedly fallen for her, secretly, in his heart, he knew, but whether she'd return the feelings he didn't know. With that he closed his eyes slightly and lowered himself toward her...
Kaoru blushed from her sudden contact with him; it wasn't that she didn't like him or anything, her heart was pining for him and his love, but her mind refused to acknowledge the fact that she had fallen in love, with the Battousai for that instance. In her mind, she was a warrior, one who pushed away all feeling, love especially, which was why she acted so cold toward him. But in her heart, she was a lonely little girl, who craved for attention and who wanted to be loved, most of all the one she loved deeply, the one who was standing in front of her right at that moment, the man who was called Hitokiri Battousai, Himura Kenshin. Slowly, her mind accepted what her heart motioned, and as the wall around her slowly broke, she tiptoed and met his lips halfway.......
Kenshin was pleasantly surprised when Kaoru met him halfway... she wasn't as cold and unfeeling as he'd thought. In fact, it was just the opposite, a warm, cute girl on the other side of her "mask". It was then when he realised how much they wanted each other, both of them had been alone for most of their lives, her father died, and he ran away from his shishou.
As Kenshin leaned in and deepen their intimate contact, Kaoru was shocked at how much she'd loved the guy in her heart....
There are time it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
Then there's times you look at me
As thought I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right I know it, know it
She broke off from Kenshin, coughing blood. "Kaoru, whats wrong ?" Kenshin asked.
She sobbed into Kenshin's gi, while he put his hand on her shoulder, comforting her.....
Author's ramblings : Yeah yeah, I know its kinda short, but I had to post it !! Its a
really fluffy chapter... haha... LoL... and I think Kaoru is very OOC, kinda reminds me of Aoshi,
well, don't worry cos I'll be improving ne ? Ja !
*cough* Yes, the verse is from O-Town's All or Nothing.
