~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenshin couldn't believe his eyes. He stood there in complete amazement at the sight before him. In the middle of the poorly lit room was Kaoru....but he had never seen her like that. She was dancing, and what from Kenshin could decifer, she had been dancing for her whole life. She executed every movement perfectly! "She's like and angel."
He studied her movements, memorizing every curve of her body. She was wearing what looked like a blue skirt that dragged down to the floor, and she had taken off her yukata revealing nothing but her bandages. Her hair was flowing freely down her back, and flowed with each movement she made. Kenshin concealed himself in the darkness of the room watching her dance gracefully to the music.(A/N: I don't know how they got music back then, but can we all just pretend that there is some type of early radio playing this music. Thanks) Kaoru danced around, not making one flaw in her movements.
"She is so beautiful, so free." Kenshin could hear his heart pounding from the spectacle before him. He had to resist flying to Kaoru and embracing her.
Slowly but surley the music began to fade and Kaoru slowly began to finish of her routine. The music was completely gone now. Kenshin was wondering if she would dance again or go back to bed. But something he didn't expect happened. Kaoru fell to her knees and began to cry. Her long raven hair fell over her shoulders, concealing the sides of her face, while her hands concealed the front. Kenshin could hear her soft sobbing from where he lay hidden in the dark.
"Why is she crying? She looked so happy before? Should I go comfort her? She might not like the fact that sessha was spying on her, that she wouldn't, but still I think sessha should go to Kaoru-dono and "try " to comfort her if she doesn't get mad at me." Slowly Kenshin approached her, Kaoru, unaware that Kenshin was even in the room.
She then felt a pair of warm arms around her. She removed her hands from her face and then soft violet met sad saphire. Her eyes looked so full of hurt that Kenshin couldn't help but feel a pain in the back of his eyes, tears threatning to come forward and release themselves down his scarred face. Then Kaoru burried her face in Kenshin's chest and began to cry more. Kenshin lifted her up onto his lap and kept her in his warm embrace. Kaoru now had her arms around the rurouni's neck, her face still burried in his chest, concealed by her long, raven hair. Kenshin cupped her chin and slowly brought her face up to look at him.
"Kaoru-dono, I know this is none of sessha's business but why are you here, now? And why are you crying?"
Kaoru stared into his intent eyes, longing for answers to his questions. Than she looked down and closed her eyes, trying to find a response for the eager rurouni.
"Kenshin?"
"Ne?"
"I'm tired now.....I'll explain everything to you tomorrow if I can just sleep on it and clear my mind. Is that okay?"
"That would be fine Kaoru-dono, that it would."
Kaoru reached for her yukata and was prepared to get up when Kenshin placed one arm under her knees and the other behind her back and lifted her up into his arms.
After realizing that Kenshin had lifted her into his arms, she cuddled closley to his chest, which took Kenshin by surprise. Her eyes were closed, but in the confinement of Kenshins arms, she couldn't help but let out a little smile, visible to Kenshin.
He smiled at the her upon entering Kaorus room. The sweet smell of jasmine filled the room. Kenshin slowly lay her down on her futon, than pulled the blanket over her.
"Thank you Kenshin." Kaoru mumbled sleepily. Kenshin stared at her for a few moments before departing. He was prepared to leave but not before pressing a soft kiss on Kaoru's forhead.
"Goodnight Kaoru-dono" he said sofley so not to wake her from her sleep. As he was sliding the door shut, Kaoru opened her eyes slightly, with a sweet smirk on her lips.
Kenshin, still sufferning from a bad case of insomnia, awoke earlier than usual to make breakfast.
"I'm gonna make something special today for Kaoru-dono that I am. Let me think...what are Kaoru-dono's favorite dishes?" While Kenshin was pondering this he couldn't help but see a book of some sort sticking out from under an old mahogony cabinet.
He bent down and picked it up. The book was a rich navy blue with writing on the cover. It was to dusty for Kenshin to comprehend what it said so he brought the sleeve of his gi up to the cover, wiping away the dust that hid its fine material. The words read "Kamiya Album"(A/N: listen, I don't know if they had camera's back than but I needed to add something that would give our Kenshin a clue to Kaoru's mysterious past). Kenshin raised an eyebrow and thought about opening it.
"Maybe I shouldn't look in it, after all it was HIDDEN, that it was. But I woke up a little earlier today, so If I look, I have a good chance of not getting caught. But that would be a betrayal of Kaoru-dono's trust, that it would. Then again, it could hold answers to some of my questions....."
After a long battle of mentally fighting with himself, Kenshin opened the album to the first page. In the first picture was a man with dark raven hair, a women with saphire eyes, and in the arms of a women was a child. "This must be Kaoru's parents and...Kaoru...."
He kept looking over the pictures, smiling here and there at a cute picture of Kaoru sticking her tongue out or crossing her eyes. As he turned the pages he saw two pictures that caught his eye. The first one had Kaoru and her father holding their bokkens in fighting stance. The other picture had kaoru and her mother. In the picture Kaoru's mom was teaching her to...dance!
"Yes! That must be where Kaoru learned to dance! But shouldn't she be happy to dance? Why was she crying? It is very confusing, that it is!"
Kenshin's smile turned to a frown as he kep turning. The pictures of Kaoru's mom began to fade until there was only Kaoru and her dad. "I guess that was when Kaoru's mother passed away." Kenshin thought sadley. With each turn of the page, Mr. kamiya faded and died too, until only a young Kaoru was left.
She didn't smile in the pictures anymore, only a exeptions when she was hugging Ayame and Suzume, or standing with Dr. Gensai. But then Kenshin saw a picture that surprised him. It wasn't in one of the plastic holders protecting the pictures but it was just placed between the pages. In the picture was Kaoru, smiling. Standing next her was himself, Kenshin, followed by Sano, Megumi and Dr. Gensai.In front of them were Ayame and Suzume and Yahiko. He carefully lifted the picture up. He turned it over to find writing on the back in Kaoru's handwriting. It read: My family. I will never forget the two in whome I've loved and lost, but I will always love this one.
Kenshin stared at the picture, the last one in the album. He carefully placed it back in between the pages, closed the book, and placed it back under the cabinet.
"Kaoru-dono is such a srong woman, that she is. I will find a way to make her happy, I'll devote my life to it if I must!" Happy with his declaration to himself and Kaoru, Kenshin walked to the kitchen preparing breakfast for the three hungry people who would be up soon.
Kaoru lay in a deep sleep in her room..........
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mother like this?"
"Almost, just hold your head a little higher, and straighten out your right arm."
"okay, is this right?"
"Perfect."
"Mother I hope that someday I will live up to you and father's expectations. I will master the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu and I will dance just as good as you!"
"That you will Kaoru, that you will."
"Mother, where are you going. Mother come back, come back, don't leave me, Mother!"
Karou's mother faded away leaving her sobbing on the ground.
"Father! Where is father?" Kaoru ran to the dojo where her father was suppose to be training. With tear stained eyes she looked at her father.
"Father, mother is gone, we have to find her!" she looked at her him anxiously for a reply but all he did was stare at her and smile.
"Father?" she asked, her voice rather shakey. After getting no response she ran to her him, only to find she collided with nothing. She turned around to her father, facing her again. He lifted his hand and began to shake it left and right.
"Good-bye Kaoru" he said slowly as his voice and body began to fade. Tears streaming down her face as she ran to him but was to late, he had just disappeared.
"COME BACK, COME BACK, DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE, PLEASE, COME BACK....................."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~
"COME BACK!" Kaoru sprung up in her futon, cold sweat dripping down her face. Before she could even blink, Kenshin had slid open her door, and dashed into her room, his reverse blade sword clutched tightly in his right hand.
"Kaoru-dono are you all right?" He looked at her and realized something had scared her. She had fear and saddness in her eyes. He let go of his sword and knelt down next to Kaoru's futon grabbing one of her hands, which Kaoru seemed to grasp tightly, trying to calm herself down.
"What happened Kaoru-dono?" he asked while brushing her hair behind her ear, and caressing her cheek.
"I-I had a nightmare, T-Thats all. Really Kenshin, I'm fine." She whispered.
"Are you sure? Do you need anything?"
"No, no, I'm fine, she smiled weakly. Is breakfast almost ready?" she smiled cheerfuly at Kenshin, who smiled back at her.
"Hai"
"Okay then, I'll put on my kimono and wake up Sano and Yahiko. Okay?"
"Hai"
And with that, Kenshin left the room feeling uneasy, but as long as she wasn't kidnapped or hurt that made him feel a little at ease with himself. Kaoru got up and looked in her closet for a clean kimono to wear.
At the very end of her closet, in a plastic covering, was a forest green kimono with baby blue flowers on it. (A/N: I'm sick of the usual blue kimono with white flowers so I thought I would spice it up. You like?) She remembered when she first wore it........
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hurry Kaoru, were gonna miss the fireworks!" Yahiko screamed from outside the dojo. Yahiko had never seen fireworks or even heard of them until Kaoru brought the idea up of going to see them out in the ocean.
"I'll be right there, don't worry Yahiko! We're two hours early for the fireowrks! I don't think we will miss them!" she replied from her room in the dojo.
Kenshin was sitting on the portch playing with Ayame and Suzume. "Were gonna go see the fire works Uncle Kenny!" screamed an overjoyous Ayame.
"Yeah, Uncle Kenny, the fireworks!" mimicked a happy Suzume.
"Yes we are. Kaoru-dono was very thoughful to take us to see the fireworks, that she was." replied Kenshin with a smile.
"Listen rooster-head, fireowrks are not the work of the devil, their man made products!" yelled Megumi.
"How would you know Megitsune! No man can make fire form in the air! It's the work of the devil I tell you and I'm not going!" screamed Sano, folding his arms and holding his chin in the air.
"Hurry busu, I think I'm growing grey hair!" Yahiko screamed into the dojo in hopes to hurry Kaoru up.
"Yahiko you better watch your mouth, remember who's paying for you to go! Anyway, I'm comming now." She replied from the dojo. And with that Yahiko stood silent, not wanting to miss his chance to see the fireowrks becasuse of his rude mouth.
Then the dojo door skid open and out walked Kaoru in a beatiful forest green kimono with baby blue flowers. She had her hair up in a green ribbon and her hair was slightly curved framing her face. Yahiko and raised an eyebrow, even he was impressed at how beautiful his sensai looked.
Sano ad Megumi stopped bickering to look at the polished Kaoru. "Kaoru you look very beautiful tonight" Megumi couldn't help it. She knew darn well Kaoru was trying to get the affections of Kenshin forever, and Megumi was secretly hoping it would be tonight that they would admit their love for eachother.Even though she constantly flirted with Kenshin, she was only doing it in the hopes the would break a fuse in Kenshin and Kaoru so they would let their emotions spill out.
Sano was whisling in the backround. "Jou-chan you look darn good! You ain't no tanuki tonight!" he howled. Kenshin most of all was dazzled by how beautiful she was. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide.
"Okay everyone, lets go!" Kaoru said still happy from her reaction from her "family."
"All right" screamed Yahiko running ahead of everyone. Kaoru and kenshin lagged behind.
"Karou-dono you look very lovley tonight, that you do." Kenshin said graciously with a smile.
"T-Thankyou Kenshin!" she said in the sweetest voice she could muster.
LATER THAT NIGHT~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Busu, I wanna go to go up in the balcony of the boat to get a better view." Yahiko yelled at kaoru. "I don't think so Yahiko, not with your rude manners." replied Kaoru.
Yahiko looked sad that he would not be getting a good view of the fireworks. Kaoru noticing Yahiko's face exused her self from the group and walked away to do something. Minutes later she was back holding something behind her back. She went up to yahiko and put a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and looked up at a smiling kaoru.
"C'mon Yahiko, lets go get a better seat on the balcony!" she said handing him the pink cotton candy she had behind his back. (A.N: do you know when cotton candy was invented? If you do tell me please. Just a little curious)
"Whats this?" Yahiko asked with a confused face.
"Its cotton candy." she said as they walked up to the balcony the rest of the Kenshin-gumi behind them. "Here, let me show you." She took a piece of cotton candy and put it in her mouth as Yahiko watched it melt on her tongue.
"It's really sweet, but kind of sticky." she said with a smile.
"Thanks Kaoru." Yahiko said smiling and savoring his cotton candy.
"AHHHHHHH WHY ARE THE LIGHTS OUT NOW! SATAN HAS COME TO TAKE US ALL!" screamed Sano.
"No, no Sano, that just means the fireworks are gonna start, there is nothing to worry about really. I've been to the fireworks before and I really think you will like them so just relax already!" karou told Sano which comforted him.
Kaoru's smile begame a grin. "Hey Sano, maybe it will help if you hold Megumi's hand!" she exclaimed as she grabbed both their hands and thrust them together, than walking away leaving a blushing Sano and Megumi still holding hands. Kaoru took a seat next to Kenshin as the fireworks were bursting in midair.
"Aren't they beautiful Kenshin?" Karou said so that kenshin could hear above the booming of the fireworks.
"They are not the only beautiful things here tonight, that they aren't."
~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kaoru hugged the green kimono remembering that night like it was yesterday, than she put it on. Looking at herself in the mirror and happy with what she saw, she made her way to Yahiko's and Sano's room. She could smell the food from the kitchen so she slid open their door slightly, hoping the aroma of food would get to them in a few minutes. She barely walked a foot away from their room when both of them came running out of the room and straight for the kitchen. She herself made her way to the kitchen knowing that she would have to tell Kenshin what she was doing yesterday and why. Yes...this was gonna be a long day.

"Hey Sano, maybe it will help if you hold Megumi's hand!" she exclaimed as she grabbed both their hands and thrust them together, than walking away leaving a blushing Sano and Megumi still holding hands. Kaoru took a seat next to Kenshin as the fireworks were bursting in midair.
"Aren't they beautiful Kenshin?" Karou said so that kenshin could hear above the booming of the fireworks.
"They are not the only beautiful things here tonight, that they aren't."
~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kaoru hugged the green kimono remembering that night like it was yesterday, than she put it on. Looking at herself in the mirror and happy with what she saw, she made her way to Yahiko's and Sano's room. She could smell the food from the kitchen so she slid open their door slightly, hoping the aroma of food would get to them in a few minutes. She barely walked a foot away from their room when both of them came running out of the room and straight for the kitchen. She herself made her way to the kitchen knowing that she would have to tell Kenshin what she was doing yesterday and why. Yes...this was gonna be a long day.
