Chapter 6 ~
'''''''''' For the next two days Kaoru did not wake up at all. Megumi were asked to treat her wound daily. Tae and Tsubame had known about Kaoru's incident from Yahiko and they too had come and visit her everyday. However , she did not wake up and Kenshin was beginning to feel very worry. Kenshin had not eaten for two days. All he had done was just sitting next to Kaoru's unconscious form holding her hand praying for her to wake up. Yahiko , Sano and Megumi had done their best to make him eat but all their efforts were in vain.
'''''''''' Then one morning.... "Ken..shin....ken...shin..," she murmured softly. Upon hearing this , Kenshin peer closer at her. "Kaoru..please wake up..," he whispered to her still unconscious form , but she seems to be having a nightmare. There were tears sliding down her cheek. "Kaoru.please..open your eyes..," he whispered with his watery eyes. Kaoru opened her eyes slowly. She felt dizzy. It was like she had not waken up for years. Kenshin's worry change to joy when he saw eyes opened. "Ken..shin.," she said while trying to sit up but the pain on her shoulder kept her down. "Kaoru..you must lie still. You're still weak and must remain on bed," Kenshin said while pushing her shoulder down stopping her from trying to get up. "I'll get you some soup and medicine," he said while getting up to head for the kitchen. When he reached the kitchen , he realized that there weren't anyone in the dojo. "They're out in the Akabeko probably," he thought inwardly. A few minutes later , he came back into the room holding a tray. He push her up gently into a sitting position and rested her back o his chest. He tried to feed her. "I can eat myself , Kenshin. I'm not weak," she said stubbornly. "I know you're not weak. You're just ill. Just let me feed you," he said and started to feed her before she could protest. Her face blushed into a shade darker than his hair. He noticed that and gave an inward smile. After a while , Kaoru found herself couldn't take it anymore. She refused to take another spoon. "You should eat more," he said worriedly as he saw she only ate half the bowl. "I'm full already alright ?" she said stubbornly. "Fine. Now eat your medicine," Kenshin replied reluctantly as he tried to feed her the medicine Megumi gave him. "I don't want it. It's bitter," Kaoru answered just before she shut her mouth into a thin line. "You must. Just eat it," Kenshin said inpatiently. Realizing Kenshin's satrting to get mad , she get scared and obeyed his order.
'''''''''' After she finished the medicine , she felt exhausted. Kenshin got up and laid her back down and coverd her up with the blanket. "Kenshin , what happened to you ?" Why are you looking so tired ?" Kaoru asked. "It's nothing," Kenshin replied trying to hide his tiredness. "You're lying. Now go and rest. This in an order," kaoru said sternly. Kenshin got up and laid on her futon and got under the cover with her. "Himura Kenshin what do you think you're doing ?" she asked as her face turn 19 shades of red. "You ask me to rest didn't you ?" I've slept beside you for as long as you're unconscious," he replied. "Wh.wh.what???," Kaoru asked as her face become redder while Kenshin just grin at her. Unable to continue the game with him , she ignored him while turning to her side and soon fell into a deep slumber. As soon as she fell asleep , kenshin got closer to her and hug her tighly on her waist. he gave himself into the comfort that she provide and soon fell asleep too.
