Chapter 25
Everyone in the house left Kat alone that day.
She had spent the entire morning and afternoon watching over Kenshin.
It was weird to have Kenshin sick.
Kat had wondered if he had ever had a fever before.
'Kenshin should be the protector, not the protected.' Kat sighed as she wrung out the cloth and placed it back on Kenshin's face.
She tucked a stray piece of hair back behind her ear.
The fan that she had kept on all day was starting to get annoying.
Her thoughts turned back to Kenshin.
He hadn't regained consciousness all day and she was determined not to leave his side until he did.
It was getting late and Kat watched the sun set from the window.
She checked Kenshin's head again and almost shouted for joy.
His fever had broken and his skin felt much cooler than it had all day.
Kat smiled and yawned, now that she knew Kenshin was going to get better, she could turn her thoughts back on her needs.
Kat yawned again and decided that she needed some sleep, she had spent the last night and all day watching over Kenshin and now she was tired.
Kat moved her futon next to Kenshin's and connected the two knowing that it would be a sleepless night if she wasn't sleeping next to him.
Kat snuggled against him and shut her eyes.
Kenshin's eyes fluttered open.
He felt much better and less hot than he had been all day.
He spotted Kat next to him and smiled.
She appeared to be sleeping soundly and had stolen most of the blankets.
Kenshin spotted something sticking out of Kat's pocket and grabbed it.
He smiled as he recognized the picture.
"Humm. It's my favorite picture," Kat whispered.
"You're awake?"
Kat opened her eyes and yawned, "I've never been able to fall entirely asleep ever since we.uh.had um-"
"Right," Kenshin said knowing what she was saying, "Where was this taken?"
Kat looked closely at the picture and frowned, "I never thought much about it."
Kenshin stared at it hard, "Isn't this the front of the hut?"
"What?!" Kat snatched the picture.
Sure enough, in the background was the porch and steps leading onto the hut.
"Kat?" Kenshin asked getting her attention, "Who is that?"
Kenshin pointed to a girl standing behind him half hidden by the folds in his hakama.
Kat choked, "Why didn't I notice this? THAT'S ME!!!"
Kenshin frowned, "How could it be you?"
"How could this be a real picture?" Kat asked herself.
She studied it closer, "Wait. That's not me."
"Then who is it?" Kenshin asked.
"It looks like..my grandmother. I remember now, her house looked almost the same as the hut because I built the hut to look like her house," Kat said.
"What was your grandmother's name?"
"Her last name was Seishi."
"Seishi," Kenshin whispered, "That was the name of one of the families the battousai killed."
"You killed my great grandfather?!" Kat yelled.
"Now I remember. The family had been living near Tomoe and I. They were nice but the man of the house worked for a rival clan and one night I got the order to assonate him. The family had invited Tomoe and me over to try out a new machine now called a camera and we agreed. Your grandmother liked me a lot and I couldn't resist her pleas to take a picture with me. I suppose the photos were eventually developed and passed on to your grandmother who kept them as a family heirloom," Kenshin said.
"I remember spilling a box of things I had inherited from her and it mixed with a bunch of printed out pictures so yours must have gotten mixed in with them. I didn't realize until now that the picture was a real one," Kat murmured.
"But how could I have gotten the picture if you're uh. um. a-animated.?" Kat asked.
Kenshin's brow twitched and he muttered, "I'm not animated. I'm a living breathing person."
"Really? Then how do you explain the animated series, merchandise, cels and movies?" Kat muttered back.
"Maybe the animated story was based on the real one? Maybe the animated sceries comes from real life?" Tanya suggested, poking her head in.
"Tanya thanks for the advice but we need you to leave!" Kat said.
"Fine, fine. I was just passing by," she muttered.
"Kenshin, do you think that's true?" Kat asked.
"What that I'm not animated? Isn't it kind of obvious that I'm not?" he asked.
"But you two have the exact same personality and look the exact same too," Kat pointed out.
Kenshin grabbed his head, "Can we talk about this later?"
Kat nodded, "Your head still hurt?"
"A little," he said.
There was a loud snore from the corner and Kat turned her head to see Suzaku.
Her foot was twitching and her teeth were bared.
Kat laughed, "Catch that rabbit for me."
Kenshin made to move out of the bed but Kat stopped him, "I know that you prefer to sleep in that corner but with a sprained foot and with you just getting over a fever, I think you'd be better off right here."
"I can't sleep at all if I'm lying down," Kenshin pointed out.
"Well, maybe with me here you'll change your mind?" Kat asked.
"Oro?!"
Kat laughed and buried herself back into the sheets.
She closed her eyes and after a while she felt a strong arm wrap around her.
She smiled and fell into a light nightmare free sleep.
