Chapter 28 (I think… the numbering is off)

Kat was shocked when she heard, "Don't say that!"

'She has such a beautiful heart.'  

"I thought I told you to stay out of my thoughts!" Kat said.

"That was the last one I heard, that it was," Kenshin said.

"Do you still love her?" Kat asked.

Kenshin was taken aback by her question and sat there too hurt to speak.

"Gomen nasai, Kenshin. I shouldn't have asked," Kat muttered.

"Tomoe was the first person to love me for whom I was. She hated the fact that I killed other people and that was something I wasn't used to. There was always the scent of white plumbs in the air and for a time it pushed away the sent of blood that was always following me… but she betrayed me… right from the beginning she had planned to kill me to avenge her husband to be. I suppose I still loved her even after I found that out, but I could never love her fully for doing that to me," he paused.

"You were the second person to love me for who I was but… you didn't care as much if I still killed people…or at least you didn't say so. You have driven me away from the life I was to have but I am grateful. I do not wish to have the past haunt me. Now the aroma of French Vanilla keeps the smell of blood away and I have yet to smell it again when you're around. You make me nervous and even the Battousai doesn't know how to act around you. You are different from anyone I've ever met and it's not just because you're from the future. My relationship with Tomoe never had time to develop fully, sure I'm still angry with myself for…killing her… but… I love you Kat," Kenshin murmured.

Kat let a tear of shame run down her face, "Kenshin, you're the not the only person to tell me that you love me. In the years that you left I had a close friend tell me that. I turned him down…when he proposed to me. I think he was more surprised than I was. I'm ashamed that I even partly considered it for a moment but in the end, I had to turn him down… I-inuyasha… h-he just told me that he…loved me too."

"And what was your answer?" he pressed.

"I haven't given him one…"

(A/N: Yes, yes I know its short give me a break! The reason I like cliffhangers is because it keeps you guys interested. Please don't kill me and PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
