Part 2

I knew them well Kenshin and Kaoru. They took me in, gave me home, and helped me become stronger than who and what I was. Each had vibrant life, personality, and character. They were who they are and everyone loved them for that. But then it happened, Kaoru no longer went into a fit of rage when I called her ugly, Kenshin didn't "ORO!!!" anymore. It seemed that the impossible happened, it was the parasite that grew through their lives, the ropes that held them tied. They were no longer just Kenshin and just Kaoru, now.....they were married.
Yahiko's thoughts were not alone. Sometimes in late afternoon the young Samurai, along with Sano, Miss Megumi, Dr. Gensai, and the little Ayame and Suzume, would sit together on the porch and watch with disgust and suspense, as Kenshin and Kaoru would attempt a romantic excursion while doing some odd, menial house hold chore.
"I was afraid of this" said Sano "Now that they're married they can't keep they're hands of each other"
"I couldn't get to sleep for two hours last night with all the noise they were making" Yahiko said
"Yahiko, young ears are present" Miss Megumi said "and besides, it' kind of sweet."
"Sweet? you've got to be kidding me, it disgusting" Yahiko replied
"They're just newly weds, doing what newly weds do." Dr Gensai said "It almost reminds me of when my son got married"
"Sweet or not, it's getting late and I don't want to watch them all day. Isn't it about time we had some dinner?" Sano mentioned
"Is that all you think about?" Megumi asked
"Hey, I'm poor and hungry, what can I do?"
"Get a job!" Megumi said standing up and marching off to the kitchen
After Dinner Kenshin sat alone on the wooden walkway outside. The sky was over cast with clouds and the light of the moon barley shone through the heavy mist. Kaoru stepped out of the kitchen and watched her husband look up at the starless sky.
"Kenshin, would you like some tea?" she asked
Kenshin turned his head around looked at her
"Yes that would be fine." he answered
Kaoru gave a smile and went back inside. Upon her return a few moments later she sat down beside Kenshin, and handed him his tea. A few moments of awkward silence passed.
"Do you want me to leave?"she asked
"No not at all" he said
"but would you prefer it if I left?"
"No, I would not"
"So do you want me to stay?"
"Yes, I would love it if you would stay with me" he said "I think it'll rain tonight"
"I love rain" she said
"really?"
"Yes, especially at night. Even though storms seem load and scary, I find them very relaxing. Knowing that this massive power is exploding all around you, but your still safe no matter what. I know I'll feel even more safe tonight" she said
Kenshin bowed his head and smiled at the thought
"What do you think is next?" he asked
"What do you mean?"
"You know, what's next. What's the next big thing that will happen to us?"
"I don't know" she said
"I've never wondered about the future before" he said "But now, I can't help but to think of all the things that could happen now."
"like....children?" she suggested
Kenshin gulped and muttered a small "yes"
"How long do you think we should wait?" she asked
"Time isn't relevant" he said "We have all the time in the world. We have no reason to be hasty or to be hesitant."
Kaoru blushed
"So we'll just let it happen in its own time?" she asked
"Sure" he said
"And we don't need to think about other big things Kenshin. Everything will be fine, I know it. For right now we'll take care of our dojo and take care of ourselves and our friends" she replied
Kenshin just looked at her with soft eyes before he put his arm around her and kissed her head. Kaoru grasped on to his waist and held him.
The sky continued to growl and churn, until a rain drop landed on Kenshin's hand. Looking down at Kaoru he saw his tea cup, which he had never touched in the first place. He pulled Kaoru up and picked up his tea, before they both returned inside.
'Kenshin felt a light misty feeling as he walked around the room. It almost seemed like he was spinning. The light dizzy feeling in his head faded away as he saw a figure ahead. It was Kaoru. She was kneeling on the floor with her back towards him, and from what it looked like, she was holding something. He quietly walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She turned her head to look up at Kenshin and she smiled. It was a baby she was holding to her breast. The small child lay on her chest suckling at her bosom. Kenshin smiled as the dream faded away'
He awoke, his eyes snapped open and he looked around the ceiling of their room. Nothing was different, but the dream was almost shocking to him, yet it was delightful and exciting. He rolled over to Kaoru, who was asleep, and ran his hand across her abdomen. He felt nothing, but he didn't think of it afterwards when he wrapped his arms around Kaoru and fell back asleep.
