Author's Notes: Yes, it has come! The last chapter of this ficcie! It is composed of pure W.A.F.F. (warm and fuzzy feelings in case you didn't know) and kissy cuteness, maybe the occasional piece of humor. I have made it long, so hopefully enjoy. If I had put romance in the earlier chapters, it wouldn't have fit as well as it does now. Now, read it, so you can all get on with your lives and stop reading my rants! You're still here? Shoo, go away, read the ficcie!
He's Two of the Same- Chapter 5- The Tragedy, the Romance, and the
Happiness
Kaoru left her laptop with a look of determination on her face. She WAS going to tell of Kenshin, and she WOULD enjoy the look on his handsome mug. She would really enjoy the look on his face. Or so she thought...
Kaoru got dressed in a T-shirt and jean shorts, grabbed a piece of toast, and stuffed it in her mouth. She surprised both her brothers at the rate she was eating, and when she polished off the whole glass of juice in one gulp, they knew SOMETHING was happening.
"Busu, you know, you're going to choke yourself!"
"No comment! I have to go do something today, something important, and something that will most likely change my life forever!"
Aoshi looked a bit surprised. The last time his sister had said that, she tried to walk to preschool. Of course, she got lost on the side streets, being only four at the time.
Kaoru knocked on the next door neighbor's door, and Tsubame came out.
"Konnichi wa, Kaoru-san, you just missed Kenshin."
Kaoru ran out the apartment door, and avoided the elevator, running down seven long flights of stairs instead. She almost ran out the glass doors, but was stopped by the former third grade teacher sitting at the front desk.
"Kaoru? Are you trying to lose weight or something? Why didn't you just take the elevator?"
"Gomen, Mrs. M, but you do know what happened the last time I set foot in that thing?"
"Ah, hai, you were caught in there with Kenshin for about an hour."
"Speak of the devil, where is he?"
"I have no idea, Kaoru, he just left."
Kaoru ran out the automatic glass doors, or at least she thought she was going to. They didn't open up, and Kaoru found herself being the object of attention of many people's eyes.
"I was going to warn you, Kaoru, the doors are busted, you have to take the side doors out!"
Kaoru sighed agitatedly and dashed to the side doors. She knew where Kenshin could possibly be, she just had to get there before 10:00 AM. The boy's Kendo tournament. It wasn't going to start until about 12:00 PM, but if she showed up any later than 10, she would lose track of Kenshin. That, unfortunately, is exactly what happened.
------
In the boys' locker room at the Kendo tournament, Sanosuke and Kenshin were hanging out while getting dressed in the gi's they were assigned to wear. Kenshin grabbed Sanosuke's shoulders, spun him around so his back was facing Kenshin's face, and Kenshin ripped another small pink note off Sanosuke's white and black gi.
"What does it say this time?"
"I am the re-embodiment of Jimmy III (mentioned in first chapter)."
"Why do they love doing this to me?"
"Because you are the only one who never notices he has it on his back."
"Thanks, Kenshin, that hurts. Hey, is that the teach over there? SHIT! Why is she in the MALE locker rooms!?"
Kenshin looked around, and sure enough, the female kendo teacher was at the door of the boy's locker rooms with her hand over her eyes. She yelled a quick notification that the tournament had been postponed because of a small fire that had started at the refreshment stalls.
"Dangit, Kenshin, I was so prepared to kick your ass for a reminder of those smart alleck remarks you coughed up."
"Wait a week, and maybe you will kick my ass, Sano. Or we could ask for afternoon passes and spar right here, right now."
"You're on, Kenshin my man!"
------
Kaoru soon found out that the competition was temporarily postponed, so she would have to find Kenshin some other way. She looked around at spots Kenshin would normally hang out at, and felt herself having a strong feeling something bad was happening. When her mother had died of leukemia, Kaoru seemed to have known it happened 20 minutes before she was finally told. The same feeling was in the pit of her stomach right now. Her father was supposed to be taking two long plane fights to get back to America, he had been visiting Japan. She was wondering how the flights were going. Reality struck her. Bad feeling+ father taking airplanes + cloudy airspace = possible.........crash.
"I-I sh-should g-g-g-go home an-and s-see that everything's ok." Kaoru said to herself, her voice quivering with tears. She started running back to the apartment complex in the center of town. A car horn sounded behind her, and Kaoru turned around. Aoshi was driving in the family car with Yahiko crying and hugging Tsubame in the back seat, who also was in the small car.
"Kaoru, otosan, he..."
"Aoshi, I already know. This is just o-o-one big j-j-j-j-joke, right? Right? Aoshi, this can't be true! I-I-I'll b-be back l-l-l- later!!!" Kaoru yelled, throwing her pride to the dogs, and sobbing. She ran. She ran as far and as fast as she could. It was all she could think of doing. Running, running further and further away, away from her fear and sorrow back at the apartment complex. She passed the dojo, and saw Sanosuke running out and grabbing her wrists.
"Sano let me go!"
"No, Jou-chan, I can't. Everything will be okay, I swear. You know you can trust me, right?"
"Shut up Sano! You have never had such a loss as parents! Both of them, damn it!"
Kaoru freed herself from Sanosuke's grip, and ran again. This was not the perfect day she planned. In fact, she wanted it all to stop. She was on a spinning cycle that wasn't stopping for her anytime soon, and she NEEDED it to stop.
------
Sanosuke walked back into the dojo very, very upset.
"Sano, what's wrong?"
"Jou-chan's old man's plane crashed in the Atlantic, and he is currently missing. I think she immediately assumed he's dead and was never told about this."
Kenshin looked like he had just died and been resurrected for more pain. He couldn't believe this. He was fully aware that Kaoru's father was the only parent she had left. Kenshin felt heartbroken.
"We shall finish our bout later, Sano, which way did she go?"
"Down that block right there, you should catch up to her easy with your speed."
Kenshin ran out of the dojo, still in his gi and hakama. He used his god-like speed to catch up to Kaoru, which happened easily. He saw her in the tree at the edge of the town, crying.
"Kaoru! I...I heard what happened. I never realized you had this much pain on you, and I didn't know what was the right thing to do! I am so sorry for all these years I was a jerk! In truth, I never wanted you to hate me, and I think I may want to become closer to you!"
Kaoru climbed down from the hiding spot in the tree. Her eyes were too big for her face, which was red and tear stained. She looked at Kenshin in surprise. She gave a dry chuckle.
"You know, I was going to tell you that you should shut up, get a life, and be nicer today then confess my feelings for you, but I didn't think my day would be this bad..."
"ORO!"
"I thought you knew my otosan died today, Kenshin."
"I-I-I-Iie! I just never forget my good advice! And I am cramming my memory space with all of it! You are aware that people don't drink coffee because it has any taste, right (if you can't remember this, go back to chapter 4 and re-look it up)?"
Kaoru couldn't believe it. Those were almost exact excerpts from her conversation with BattousaiBoy this morning. That meant...
"You're BattousaiBoy, aren't you Kenshin?"
"Hai, and your BokkenGirl, right?"
"Hai, and let me get this straight: we have been-"
"Talking to each other this whole time?"
"Hai, smart ass."
"Gomen, I can't help it, I'm the biggest one in-"
"We know baka-tomato-atama."
"Back to the insults?"
"Of course!"
"Then excuse me while I think of a better one, hold on."
Kenshin put his finger to his lips pretending to think about what he was going to say next. Kaoru looked at him with impatience in her eyes, tapping her foot against the sidewalk. He put on a smirk that screamed "I have a bright idea!" right in her face.
"You are beautiful, sweet, adorable, smart, a great person, and someone who has dealt with too much unhealed pain, leaving scars in her wondrous mind. Those are the best insults I can give now."
Kaoru looked amazed. Their faces were getting closer and closer, their breath seeping into each others mouths. Her eyes widened, she had only dreamt of being this close to Kenshin.
"Then, Kenshin? I don't think I need to hear your complements."
"You do know that your father is also a wonderful man who I have always looked up to, since my own father is lazy and can't do the least bit of work? Well, if I know him right, he wouldn't want to see you crying right now. I mean, Kaoru-chan, understand this: he might not be dead yet. I can sense it, he's alive. So please don't cry."
There were a few short moments of silence, both Kenshin and Kaoru lost in each others eyes. Kaoru took note that she was in a position that seemed like her and Kenshin were about to kiss each other. So that is exactly what she did. Pushing up off her toes an inch or two, and gripping Kenshin's jacket, Kaoru touched his lips with hers. Blushing profusely, she quickly pushed away from Kenshin and stared at the cement for a few seconds. Kaoru snapped her head back up.
"Wait, he ISN'T dead yet!? I thought that's what...I mean...that's what Aoshi was trying to tell me all along!?"
"Hai, Kaoru-chan, he is going to come back home in one living piece, I swear. You may not believe me, but I know it is true."
"K-Kenshin........."
Kaoru looked straight in his eyes again, noticing he looked face- fallen. She put her hand on his left cheek, feeling the rough skin of the crossed scars under her hand. She stood on her toes again, and pressed her forehead to his, gripping his shoulder with her other hand to keep her balanced.
"I will always believe you, Kenshin; you don't ever need to worry about that. A-A-A-Aishiteru, Kenshin."
"Aishiteru, Kaoru-koishii."
Kenshin wrapped his arms around Kaoru's waist, and kissed her. She kissed him back, pulling her arms around his neck, holding him tightly.
"Kaoru-koishii, I will never let you deal with the horrible pain of life alone again."
"I know, Kenshin, I know. Arigato."
------
From the bushes, the two didn't know that many pairs of eyes were on them. That's correct, Sanosuke, Megumi, Tsubame, Yahiko, Ayame, Suzume, Misao, and Aoshi were spying. Tsubame shielded her eyes when they kissed again.
"Oi, Tsubame, what's so gross about my sister and your brother kissing?" Yahiko asked.
"I'm just not really used to watching it."
Yahiko pecked her once on the lips. Tsubame turned very, very red, and her eyes widened a bit.
"Can ya watch it now?"
"H-Hai."
Sanosuke snickered at the two kids, and continued watching his best friend and cousin. Megumi was right next to him, trying to push his head out of her view. Aoshi was just sitting against a tree, with a chattering Misao in front of him. Ayame and Suzume were on Sanosuke's shoulders for a better view.
"So, this is the end?" asked Sanosuke.
"Iie, it's the beginning, tori-atama."
"Hey, shut up, Megitsune!"
"Who asked you, niwatori?"
---About 4 months after these incidents---
Kaoru hopped out of the futon. The good old weekend, but she had a weird feeling that something great was going to happen today. She and Kenshin were boyfriend/girlfriend by now, and the new school cute couple award was given to Sanosuke and Megumi. Kaoru, Yahiko, and Aoshi had managed to keep their lives in one piece while their father was still not back, but they never lost hope. Kenshin's father, Hiko Himura, had funded them to help pay for bills.
"Yo, wake up sleepy princess!" Kaoru heard from the vent.
"Kenshin, you are a wonderful alarm clock, but I am afraid I am already awake."
"Too bad, I'm gonna be an alarm clock every morning you are living! Hey, Tsubame wants to say something!"
Tsubame yelled into the air vent, "TURN ON CHANNEL FOUR (don't own it)!"
If Tsubame, the little girl who's voice resembled a mouse's squeak, screamed, something big was happening. Kaoru bolted out of the room, and ran to the TV, immediately flipping on channel four. What she saw before her was something she had been waiting to see for four months, and never expected it to actually come on.
"So, Mr. Kamiya, can you give us a brief description of you and the other people trapped in the plane's journey?"
"We were in the ocean a few days, and then a ship managed to save us. We were stuck on it for a few weeks, and then they dropped us at a small island to rest up. We had to take another ship, and here we are. Unfortunately, the pilot wasn't found. I should be back to my daughter and two sons in a few days, if you are watching this Aoshi, Kaoru, and Yahiko."
Kaoru gaped at the screen. Yahiko walked in the room, and gaped with her. Once the commercials came on, they both yelled in happiness.
"I don't believe it busu! Otosan is coming back!"
"Neither can I, Yahiko-chan!"
Yahiko jumped on his sister, and she hugged him. They spun around a bit, and Aoshi walked in with his traditional pink apron on.
"What is so wonderful?" he asked in his usual voice.
"OTOSAN'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" both Kaoru and Yahiko screamed at the top of their lungs. Aoshi for once, put on a genuine smile.
Kenshin watched through the vent.
"So, the little broken family has been put back together. This is absolutely wonderful, isn't it, Tsubame? Tsubame? Where'd she go...?"
Kenshin looked back in the vent, and saw her hugging Yahiko tightly. He smiled, and went to join the others.
OWARI
* sobs * It's over, it's over, WHY!? I have a tough time ending ficcies,
sorry that the ending was so cruddy! I will try and make a sequel, maybe
start a "He's Two of the Same" thing with Aoshi and Misao or something?
Maybe Sanosuke and Megumi although I am not very good with that pairing?
Oh, and I do know I put very slight Yahiko/Tsubame cute stuff, you don't
need to flame me for the fact I went off the original pairing, I just
think they are adorable together! In fact, I have a VERY good idea for
one of those now, but I won't spoil it! E-mail me if you want me to
spoil it! And you can review while you are at it!
