I'm really sorry about how long this took! I've been pretty busy lately.
OK. Enough of that. Read on......
Taking Over Me
Chapter 4
She ran down the muddy path, trying to get home as fast as she could. 'How could he say that? That idiot. He's playing with my heart. I will never forgive him. He is heartless. That he is!' She couldn't help the tears flying off her face as she raced home.
She stopped. 'What if he comes to look for me?' She pushed that thought away. 'No! He wouldn't. Why would he leave me in the first place then?' She sat, her back against a tree, as she cradled her legs in her arms and silently cried. 'Why, Kenshin? Why did you do this to me? Why?' Then she slowly cried herself to sleep.
**********
Kenshin walked out of the alleyway. Flooded with thoughts only of her. He needed her right now. To comfort him. He had caused her pain. So much pain. The poor girl. He betrayed her. She hates him now. It wasn't worth him to think she may actually have any feelings for him.
He walked past everyone enveloped in his thoughts. He was tired, but couldn't stop. He needed to find her. Apologize for everything he had done to Kaoru. He loved her deeply and now there was no chance for him. No chance for them. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. Kaoru... Kaoru would never love him. She was going to move on. 'Kaoru... I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.' He looked down in despair, one tear rolling down his cheek.
**********
Kaoru awoke when she heard some type of movement. She jumped up and sprinted towards the dojo. 'Idiot! You fell asleep! What if someone finds you! Smart move!' She berated herself, thoughts drifting back to him. 'I have to stop thinking of him. What about Misao and the others? Yeah, they're nothing like that lowlife. They're my friends. My family.' She tried a fake smile to try to mask her emotions from herself. She couldn't. This was her life. She had to get used to it. Then she broke into tears. Each tear representing her despair, her anger, her love... her life.
**********
Kenshin started to run through the forest of trees. "Kaoru... Kaoru! Forgive me. PLEASE, FORGIVE ME!" Kenshin screamed, knowing she would never hear him. He stopped and fell to the ground, his hands catching his fall. "Kaoru..." He laid his head down to the path, his hair filling with mud. "Kaoru... I love you. Don't leave me. Please, I'm so sorry." He said to the ground as tears still ran down his pale, tear-strained face.
**********
It was morning and the gleam of sun reached the roof of the Kamiya Dojo. A smile reached her face as she saw the old dojo. "I'd never thought I'd be so happy." Kaoru said softly.
**********
Misao felt someone's presence and quietly walked towards the door. She slowly slid open the door, thinking of all the people it could be.
She was overjoyed when she saw the face of her smiling best friend. She was dirty and her clothes were ripped, but she was happy. "Kaoru..." She said quietly, eyes shimmering. "KAORU! YOU'RE HOME!" Misao screamed, most likely waking the whole neighborhood.
She ran to her friend and enveloped her in a big bear hug. She made her biggest sad face and looked at her friend. "WAAAAAHHHH! I missed you so much!" She screamed with fake tears. Kaoru smiled.
"I missed you too, Misao! Anything knew?" Kaoru asked brightly. Misao pulled away and smiled.
"Nothing really." 'Besides the fact that I practically seduced Sano accidentally.' Misao thought. "It's pretty boring without you here."
"I know. I know." Kaoru boosted and they both laughed.
Yahiko must have heard their racket because he ran out and tackled Kaoru. "Kaoru! You're back!" He shouted, then noticing where he was, jumped up and moved back. "I mean... I'm glad you're back Kaoru." The girls both giggled and Misao patted him on the back.
Kaoru stood up and brushed off her dirty kimono. "I hate to break this joyful occasion, but I think I have to go take a bath. I feel disgusting." Her two friends nodded and she made her way to the bath house.
**********
Kaoru quickly finished her bath, still trying to comprehend exactly what had happened that night. It was almost unreal. Had this all just been a dream gone wrong? If it was, she wouldn't be surprised.
She slipped on a clean kimono. 'It has to be a dream. It seems too unreal, although... it feels so real...' she thought, walking outside. She stepped into her slippers and walked over to the engraved name of her father on the wall. 'Father... if you were only here...' She sat down at her father's name, staring.
**********
He sat at his futon. He felt terrible. He lost his only real love. She was never going to come back to him. 'Misao... Misao I want you back... I need you. Misao...' He sat there and tried to hold back the tears as sleep caught up with him.
*********
It had gotten late and Kaoru didn't notice that she had fallen asleep. She jumped up when she heard a door slide shut. Opening her eyes cautiously, she saw the one person she hated deeply. He was back. 'No. This is not real. It's a dream. No, it's a nightmare. Wake up. Wake up, Kaoru. God Damnit. Wake up.' He walked towards her stumbling. His clothes were torn and tattered, but he didn't pay any mind to it. He came close to her and fell onto her. 'I'm dreaming! It's all a dream! Nothing more! Don't believe this!' His fingers lightly touched the sensitive skin on her cheek.
"Kaoru..." Reality struck her. This was real. Her mind screamed at her. Telling her to break this up right here. Tell him to leave her dojo... but her heart... her heart told her that this is what she always wanted. To hold him in her arms for eternity.
She loved him... and she knew it.
A/N: MUHAHAHA! Ending it here for now. I'm still extremely sorry for the wait and how short the chapter is. My phone bill is way high. Stupid dial- up! ^_^ Anyways, please give reviews! I'm so happy, I didn't get 1 flame yet! So please don't give me any because I'm lazy. I hope there's gonna be a lemon soon ^o^ *TTYL*
