A/N: Well I'm glad you like the fic so far- Sorry for the wait. I've been kept very busy this week :(
Summer session at school and work have drained my creative activity and free time.. But I'm back now with the second chapter- enjoy! And thanks for the reviews- I enjoy them!
Disclaimer: Kenshin and the cast of characters are all property of someone else… Yosho and this fic are just some weird ramblings I pulled out of one of my sugar-induced daydreams…

"Kaoru, I have to tell you that there's more to my sudden homecoming. I want to help you rebuild this dojo, back to it's former greatness… but…"
"You'd really want to help?" She interrupted him. "I don't know how to thank you Yosho. The more help the sooner we'll have a full set of students back. This is so kind of you." Kaoru said smiling brightly.
"Kaoru let me finish- this is very important. I want to help you, but not just as a friend."
"Yosho? What.. Do you mean?"
"Together we can rebuild the Kamiya school honor and ensure the Kamiya technique by passing it down to our children."
"C..children?"
"I ask fro your acceptance to be my wife Kaoru." He said as he quickly moved and captured her lips.
Kaoru was stunned. This was her first kiss… so she did the only thing that came to her mind… she froze. Yosho brought her close to him and continued the kiss… just as the door slide open.
Kenshin couldn't help but be totally shocked as his innocent Ms Kaoru let out a slight moan as Yosho deeply kissed her.
His heart felt heavy and broken once again… as he quietly closed the door. The occupants of the room never even noticed the Rurouni as he walked away with his head hung low.
Yosho released Kaoru's lips after making the kiss rougher. She was silent.
"Think it over dear Kaoru." The man said. "But until then, I will just use the old spare room. I'll be right back, I'm going to go wash up." Yosho squeezed her hand and got up before she could say anything.
Kaoru's mind was troubled. This was all so sudden. A proposal… but her heart seemed heavy. It was from the wrong person. Then the red haired wanderer's image flashed in her mind. "Ken...shin"
'Kenshin!' Her mind screamed. 'I forgot about Kenshin! He made this perfect meal and wanted to talk…'
"Kenshin!" She got up and went for the kitchen to look for him. She hadn't meant to be so rude to him- but then again he had left when Yosho arrived.
-
Kenshin began to wander in the wooded area away from the dojo. Someone had beaten him to Ms. Kaoru's heart. In all the time he had spent with her at the dojo, she had never kissed him like that. Before he assumed she was just shy, but now he wondered if he really was the unworthy one. A bit to unworthy for her, and maybe… maybe something she didn't want to be a part of…
Was his past to bloody for his Ms. Kaoru? No- she had told him several times that she didn't care for the past. But what then? Was he truly that ugly in her eyes? He couldn't help but wonder.
Coming to the banks of the river eh sat and gazed into the waters as it cascaded down the landscape.
"I wouldn't have deserved her even if she loved me. I have too many to repent for, that I do." He sighed. "I've stayed here too long. I'm a wanderer, not a husband… still it would have been nice to be… loved." After much thought Kenshin slowly made his way back towards the dojo.
-
Yosho had made himself at home around the dojo. Saying something about wanting to begin restoring the honor of the school he wanted to begin immediately. Yahiko, being the only student, was called and had begun sparing with Yosho. Neither he nor Sano seemed too enthused with their new guest. The way he carried himself with over dignified airs really got to Sano.
"Come no boy! You must be better than this." Yosho said meanly. "How do you expect to learn anything if you're too weak."
Yahiko was angry. He lunged forward at the man- but was hit squarely in the shoulder.
Yahiko fell to the ground and grasped his shoulder. He kept back a cry of pain as his shoulder throbbed.
"Yahiko- what's wrong?" Kaoru asked as she ran into the room after hearing the fall.
"The kid just had a little fall is all. These kids can be so clumsy at times Kaoru dear." Yosho said as he went up to Kaoru before Yahiko could even tell her what happened. Yosho took her hand and brought her out of the practice room, and into the garden area.
"My dearest Kaoru, have you thought it over?" He asked taking both of her hands.
"Thought what over?'
"My proposal, my beloved."
"Oh.. Well, no I haven't decided yet… I was too busy looking for Kenshin."
"Kenshin? Oh yes, the wanderer… my dear what exactly is your relationship with that man?"
"Our… relationship?" Kaoru blushed. "Well… I…um.. Don't really know."
"I want to help you Kaoru. I can restore your father's legacy. Together we can be happy. That wanderer might pick up and leave you, if he hasn't done it already. What does he have to offer you? I can give you everything…" Yosho pulled a box out of his picket. "Kaoru, when I left I always thought of you… in England to show ones love they give rings. I want you to have this one. Know that I'm serious about you."
Again Kaoru didn't know what to say as Yosho showed her a ring. She had never seen such a pretty stone embedded in a golden band before. And when he slipped it on her finger her mind started screaming at her. 'What do I do? What do I do?'
She was broken from her daze as the happy giggles and screams of the doctor's grandchildren began to be heard.
"Uncle Ken!"
"Uncle Ken-ni!!!" They squealed in delight as they and the doctor met up with Kenshin as he was going into the dojo.
Hearing the announcement of the Rurouni's return Yosho decided it was in his best interest to continue to his and Kaoru's conversation somewhere else. He took her hand and led her further away from the dojo.
"Hey Kenshin! Where have you been?" Sano asked.
"I needed a moment to compose my thoughts, that I did." He replied. "Where is Ms. Kaoru?" He asked.
"Missy's been talking with that Yosho character…" Sano said coldly. "Something's up though… I don't like this guy."
"Yeah- he pulled a dirty trick while we were sparing." Yahiko added holding his throbbing shoulder. He had worse battle scars, but this one had hurt his pride.
"Well it's a good thing I came over." The kind doctor said as he began to look over the injury. "You got yourself a good sprain there Yahiko, best keep it still for a while." The doctor said after a little poking and bandaging.
"Thank you doc, hey Kenshin- that guy's been acting funny around Kaoru too…" Yahiko said after the doctor stopped fussing about his shoulder. "And he's acting like he owns the place, it's kind of fishy if you ask me."
"I sense something is wrong as well, that I do."
"But what is it? I mean what could he possibly want back here?" Yahiko asked.
"I don't know… yet." Kenshin added as his eyes darkened for a brief second. Then as quickly as they had changed he went back to his cheerful self. "But it's getting later in the day, that it is. I'll go and begin preparing the evening meal now." Kenshin said as he walked back into the dojo.
"What's wrong with him?" Yahiko asked. "Kenshin didn't seem like himself for a while there."
"Just leave him be- this is one fight he doesn't want any help or bugging about." Sano said as he turned and began to leave. "You'll understand when you get older." He commented as he waved back at them.
"What?" Yahiko asked as he ran after the tall spiky haired man.

A/N: Well that's it for chapter two- sorry for it being so long to get here and then being so short- but next chapter all the action starts… I smell a show down with our favorite red haired Rurouni… and of course Sano has to help ^_^ Sano is so cute… I luv the bishies- and with that- Ja Ne!
