Dinner and Questions
Disclaimer: I own nothing…'cept the plot.
Kaoru shoved her empty plate away from her and sighed contently. "I don't think I could eat another bite, Kenshin." Kenshin smiled and told her she didn't have to. "Yeah, you've already eaten half the restaurant," Sano answered, wishing he hadn't after he received a sharp stab in the ribs from Megumi. "Ow! Well, it's the truth!" Sano argued. Meiso laughed and stopped when she realized her companion wasn't. "Aoshi, you've been quiet for days. What's wrong, baby?" She asked, scooting closer to him in the booth and laying her head on his shoulder. Aoshi just smiled and patted her head like a father would do to a scared child.
Sano laid back and stated, "I heard from a reliable source China's emperor is sending some of his army over."
Everyone instantly stopped eating and looked at Kenshin for his reaction. Kenshin just laid back on the booth and put his arm around Kaoru, who was looking at him curiously. "Is that so?" Sano curtly nodded. Kenshin smiled and asked, "Who's getting the check?"
Kaoru leaned in closer and put her head on his chest. "Kenshin, do you think you'll have to go fight?" She then propped her chin on his chest and looked up into his eyes. Kenshin looked down on her curiously. "Don't worry your pretty little head about that. I won't be going anywhere anytime soon." "It's just that… well, I'm worried. I'm worried about you, the baby.." Kenshin interrupted her. "What do you mean worried about the baby? I something wrong? Are you in any pain? Should we go to Mrs. Megumi's?" "No, Kenshin. I'm fine. Just forget it." Kaoru stood up and turned out the light and got back into bed. "Goodnight, Kenshin. I love you." Kaoru turned over and went to sleep.
Kenshin tried, but he just couldn't sleep. Every now and then he would look over at Kaoru's sleeping form and wondered things like: Is she really OK? What is she hiding to from me? All these questions, but no answers.
