Anger Management

By: Emilee

Part 4



The next day there was a knock on the door. Kaoru went to see who it was. She opened the door and saw Hiko standing on the porch. She looked at him in amazement. He said, "I would like to apologize. I did not know that my baka deshi meant that much to you."

"That is alright. I am sorry too, for hitting you with the frying pan. I do need anger management, but no matter hom much of it I take, I never get any better."

"Okay then, try this. Whenever you get mad try to remember what good they have done to you. Maybe that will help you control that temper of yours."

Kenshin was secretly listening to every word of their conversation. *So does she really love me? I wish I could tell Kaoru-dono how I really feel. Whenever I get the courage to do it, I just get scared thinking that she will hit me with her frying pan. But, where does she get that frying pan from anyway? It seems like it just appears out of no where.* Kenshin sighs as he hears Hiko walk away. He rushed to the laundry room and tried to do the laundry right.

He stuffed the clothes into the washing machine and put the soap in. Then he twisted some knobs and pressed some buttons and the washing machine started. *I actually did it.* Kaoru walked in when a loud boom was heard.

"KENSHIN? Are you alright?" Kaoru asked staring at a soap covered rurouni. He was sitting on the floor with his eyes swirling.

"KENSHIN NO BAKA!!!"

"Oro?"

*

That evening Kenshin walked to the lake and sat down under a tree. This was the only place that he could relax. The dojo was too noisy and Sano and Yahiko were always fighting over the food. Not to mention that Kaoru was also chasing them with the frying pan because they were making a terible mess. It seems as though what Hiko said to Kaoru was just not enough to control her.

Kaoru finally stopped chasing them and out into the courtyard. *Where is Kenshin at? I think that he will most likely be at the lake. I might as well go find him.*

She arrived at the lake and saw him asleep under a tree. She walked up slowly and sat down beside him. *He looks so peaceful when he is sleeping.* She laid her head down on his chest and fell asleep.

Later Kenshin finally woke up. He looked down and saw Kaoru laying on him asleep. When he slightly shifted positions she woke up. She sat up against the tree and looked deep into Kenshin's eyes. He also looked into hers. Finally Kenshin broke the silence.

"Kaoru-dono. There is something sessha would like to tell you. I have always wanted to tell you this but I was afraid that you would hate me for it." He took her hands in his and said, "I love you Kaoru-dono."

She looked at him in utter amazement. *He does love me, but what do I say? Should I tell him how I feel?* "I love you too Kenshin."

They both smiled. Kenshin took her and pulled her closer. He lifted her chin up and softly kissed her. Finally they walked back to the dojo being encircled by fireflies.
