Spirit of the Sword: The midnight bloodshed
Chapter 4: Star light star bright
Yahiko and Sanosuke were sitting on the porch with their heads leaning on their hands. They were asleep and had been waiting there for Kenshin and Kaoru all night. Megumi was waiting by the door just in case someone needed her. She spotted them and rushed out the door, tripping on Yahiko who was sleeping on the stairs. Megumi rushed to Kenshin first.
"Sir Ken. You're hurt. Let me help." She said.
"No. Put Kaoru to bed first. Then you may tend to my wounds.
Sanosuke stood up looking drowsy and then he snapped back to reality.
"Here Miss Megumi. Let me carry her. I'll put her to bed." He said smiling at Kenshin.
Megumi led Kenshin inside and started to treat his wounds.

Kenshin walked outside that night. Kaoru had slept all day and he didn't blame her. Looking at the stars he was reminded of her for some reason. As Kenshin stared upward, he felt someone grasp his hand and lean against him. He turned his head slightly. It was Kaoru. Kenshin could sleep comfortably now. Kaoru was safe and so was everyone else.
Kenshin stroked her hair gently. He loved her so much words could not possibly express his feelings for her. Kaoru squeezed his hand tighter.
Kenshin and Kaoru remained outside gazing at the stars, until finally Kaoru fell asleep on Kenshin's shoulder. Carefully, he picked her up in his arms again, and carried her inside.
