pitiful. * frown * ah, well, .
::: chapter 3 :::
"Hello, Miss Kaoru!" Kenshin said brightly. He was 37 now, but he was still as agile as bright as when Kaoru first met him. "I haven't seen you in so long!"
Kaoru could barely contain her blushing face. Silently, she chastised herself. Thirty years of age, and she still couldn't hide her crush on Kenshin, even though she is married. ". . . hello, kenshin . . ."
Kenshin walked in, his red hair swaying in the warm midsummer wind. "Very hot and humid weather we have, that we do." Kaoru noticed that his eyes were getting alarmed at her glassy eyes, and she pulled herself out of her trance. "Yes, we are. Do come in, Kenshin!"
Kaoru kept on a smiling face as they sat to dinner. She carefully watched Kenshin's face as he tasted the face. His features were cautious as he raised his chopsticks holding a piece of fish to his mouth. Then, suddenly, he burst into a wide smile as he stuffed in a few more mouthfuls. Wow, Mz Koru, thish ish rerry wood."
Megumi slapped Kenshin on the head, causing Kenshin to painfully mumble, "Owo." "Kenshin, dear, don't talk with your mouth full!"
Kaoru glanced at Sanosuke. He was chewing like he always did, mouth full and open. She sighed; she just didn't have the heart to correct Sano's actions. Even with 10 years of marriage, they were like strangers.
As the conversation continued, Kaoru felt her gaze sustained on Kenshin. She took in every detail of him: his hair was slightly longer than before, he had a small scar on his year now (probably due to Megumi's slapping), and his scar was slightly lighter. Besides that, Kenshin was still the youthful self she remembered him as. She was so engrossed in Kenshin that she hardly noticed when he looked, puzzled, at her staring.
Kenshin smiled. His lavender eyes met her blue ones, and Kaoru felt her heart rising. "Miss Kaoru, this dinner is delicious, really. You don't have to worry about food poisoning."
Kaoru reddened as Sano and Megumi all stared at her. "Oh, I was just looking for . . ." She noticed a stray napkin behind Megumi. "A napkin!"
Megumi smiled. "Oh was it a napkin you wanted? Here's one! Ohoohohoho!" Her fox ears popped up, and Kaoru felt herself feeling foolish. How long had she been staring at Kenshin?
"Well, Kaoru, I have a favor to ask of you." Megumi said. "The inn was full. so, we were wondering if we could stay here?" Kaoru turned and glared at Sanosuke. He chewed on his fishbone and shrugged.
"Ah, well," Kaoru quickly pondered the choices. She could say no. But then, Kenshin would think that she was still an immature teenager. No, she couldn't do that. She sighed. "Yes, of course, Megumi! You and your family could all stay at the dojo!"
Megumi smiled. "Thank you, Kaoru. Kenshin and I are so grateful." Kenshin smiled. "Yes we are, Miss Kaoru, that we are." Kaoru had to quickly pour more sake for Sanosuke to hide her burning face.
-that night-
Kaoru sank deeper into her bath. She had to take a bath; the hot summer heat was unbearable, especially after sweating nervously every time she laid eyes on Kenshin. It was about 11 o clock now, and everyone was asleep. She didn't need anyone to tend the fire for the bath. The heat naturally made the water a strange lukewarm temperature.
Why did no one else seem to wish that it had never been? She could remember that night like it was yesterday.
. . . . . . . sry, I wanted to write the flashback, but nope. I don't have coffee. o.O gotta go bed. so more 2morrow. Not that neones looking forward to it. only one person has reviewed so far * cries * oh yes, btw, rook. I don't think I'll be writing nething as x-rated as adultery * grin * so no worries. Well, at least I wont describe it in detail. =)
