I feel tears crawl down my cheeks, as the picture before my eyes shifts from one so lovely to a slow version oh Kenshins death. I know I am dreaming, but cannot wake myself. On my floor yet again sleeps Kenshin. He touches my shoulder, grasping it lightly to wake me. I jump slightly from his touch, opening my eyes quickly as he gazes at me in concern. "Miss Kaoru?"
He brushes hair from my cheek, still gazing at me, as I sigh in relief smiling at him. His eyes soften and he smiles back, sitting next to me. I embrace him, and he doesn't hesitate to return it. Sighing in comfort, I run my hand through his hair, my forehead touching softly to his cheek and he turns slightly, kissing my forehead gnetally, but not lingering there long before his hand sweeps against my cheek, and I look into his eyes, the color vibrent and shinning with love. I realise he has looked at me like this for a while, but I never noticed it.
He hand on the back of my head,he gentally pulls me closer, my eyes closing and his as his lips brush against mine, his head tilted to the side, his free hand resting on my cheek, and I realise his lips have parted slightly. My tongue floats into his mouth, and after a second he returns the kiss, with skill and grace I never dreampt of. I pull away slowely, taking a breath, looking at him and his beautiful smile. His smile fades quickly as he watches me. "This is a bad idea, Miss Kaoru, that it is..I do not want you to be hurt..." His eyes show longing, and I know he is saying what he thinks, but has no feelings for.
"Kenshin...No...No, I don't care if it's a bad idea.." My good mood droops, and I watch him.
"Miss Kaoru..Such blood soaked hands as mine should never touch those so innocent and lovely. They should never cradle so beautiful a face, or hold so delicate a figure when there is distress. They should never sweep though such long, lovely hair that curtains and frames so fragile a beauty. These hands are not ment to hold anything but a sword, because...Because I never want to see you hurt, Miss Kaoru...Never again to I want to have to hold you when you cannot know it..If you were to die in the hands of an enemy..I would have nothing left.."
"Kenshin...With you by my side, there would be no way I would die, but without you, I would be so lost..Please..."
He touched my cheek gentally, looking into my eyes, a small smile spreading upon his lips, but his eyes remained sad. "My past could hurt you, that it could.."
"I don't care what happened in your past! What matters most is now, the present! What ever happened to you to cause such fear must be great, but there is nothing more important than living. Keep me alive..." I threw my arms around him, and he patted my back.
"I will try, Miss Kaoru, that I will..Get some sleep..." He kissed my cheek softly, watching as I lay down, before resting his head as well, both of us falling asleep.
