~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Kenshin-gumi walked along the busy roads. It seemed every person around them was in love. People held hands and kissed one another. Kaoru looked on in envy. The she looked over to Kenshin hwo peered at the happy couples as well. Their eyes met, and in an instant it was as if they could read eachothers minds, like they knew exactly what the other was thinking. They both know they wanted to love eachother, to be with eachother, get married, have a family and die together.
Then suddenly Kenshin bumped into someone. "Oro? "Gomen, gomen, I wasn't looking where I was going, that I wasn't!" Kenshin said as he turned his head up to meet with the face of the person he bumped into. The tall man turned around and looked down into Kenshin's face.
"SAITOU!? The Kenshin-gumi yelled at each other. "Saitou, w-what are you doing here?" Kenshin asked with a sweat drop running down the back of his head.
"Battosai, I'm patroling the Island, what else would I be doing here?" Saiotu said calmly with his cigarette in hand.
"Hajime? Where are you?" A voice called out from behind Saitou. "Oh there you are Hajime, I've been looking every where for you!" a women said as she laced her arm with Saiotu's. Saiotu lay emotionless, but a tint of red could be seen on his face. "Who are these people?" the women asked sweetly.
"I'm Kaoru Kamiya, and this is Kenshin Himura, Sanusuke Sagara, Megumi Takani, and Yahiko Myojin. Oh and that is Tsubame!." Kaoru said as she pointed to each one of them as she said their names.
"Hello, I'm Tokio, Hajime's wife." Tokio said happily. "Hajime brought me here for the festival! It took some begging on my part, but I got him here." (A/N: Oh! Saiotu's busted!)
"Hey Saiotu, I thought you said you were patroling the Island! Saiotu you sly dog!" Sano teased elbowing Saiotu.
"I am you idiot, but it just so happened I was assigned to this Island, so I brought my wife!" Saiotu said as calmly as he could.
"Oh Hajime look over there! Aren't those necklaces beautiful! Let's go see them!" Tokio said as she dragged Saitou to the Jewelery store.
Saitou was being dragged on one leg. "But I am on patrol!" He said with a persuading voice to his persistent wife.
"No dumpling, we came here together! Remember?"Tokio said happily as she won the battle.
"Bye DUMPLING!" Sano said in a mimicking voice. Saiotu sent him a death glare as he passed him by.
"I don't think you should provoke Saiotu, remember what happened last time." Kenshin said as he remembered Sano making fun of Saiotu's hair and being knocked unconcious for a week.
"Eh, don't worry about it Kenshin, I know what I'm doing!" Sano said.
Okay but if you get knocked unconcious again, no one is gonna be there to help you!" Megumi said to him shaking a finger.
"Hey, don't you guys have any faith in me?!" Sano asked. The kenshin-gumi stood quiet, looking like they were pre-occupied with something else to listen to Sano.
"I could beat Saiotu, if I wanted too." Sano mumbled as the Kenshin-gumi walked a head to look at the attractions. Behind them, a figure stalked them. He wore a hat that covered his face, and a trench coat. (A/N: I'll give you one guess, go on, guess who it could possibly be!)
Kenshin looked up towards the sun. It wasn't even noon yet, and the festival didn't start till night fall. Kenshin sighed. "The wait will all be worth it, if Kaoru-dono will be mine." He thought to himself.
"Hey, come back here! Help! Stop him!" An elderly lady yelled. A man was running like a mad man through the crowds of people, knocking over people and such. Yahiko stuck his foot out, tripping the man. He was running so fast, he rolled at least 15 feet before stopping, dazed on the ground. A bag of money fell out of his hand. Kenshin picked it up, and turned to find the lady running towards him.
"Oh thank you young man!" The lady said to Yahiko as kenhin handed her the bag of money. The lady was short with a turban on her head. She had a bunch of neclaces hanging from her neck and each finger contained a unigue ring.
"How can I ever repay you!" The lady asked as she pocketed her bag of money. "I know, I'll tell you your fortunes, I am a professional fortune teller! I can see the future and my predictions are never wrong! And it's for free." she said happily. (A/N: Kenshin keeps getting free things from nice ladies! But who could resist him, C'mon!)
The lady lead them to a black and purple tent that had a sign over it that read "Madame Yuki: Fortune Teller". Madame yuki slid open a curtain revealing a dark room with a small round table. A crystal ball lay in the middle of the table.
"Come, come, take a seat around the table." Madame Yuki said a she sat at she took a seat herself. Kenshin sat next to Madame Yuki, Kaoru next to Kenshin, followed by Sano, Megumi, Yahiko, and then Tsubame.
"Now every one, take eachothers hands. We have to be connected mentally to read the future!" she said like it was obvious. They held eachothers hands, and then Madame Yuki told them to take a deep breathe and clear their minds of all thoughts. The crystal ball in the middle began to mix with exuberant colors.
"Now this is the first test." Madame Yuki said with her eyes closed. "In one moment you will see your truest desire before your eyes. Just stay silent and clear your mind." she said in a whisper.
Sano was the first to see his desire. In his vison he saw a ten foot table with food covering the surface of the table. He watched himself eat all the food, not one bowl was left unturned, no one grain of rice spared. Then he turned around to find Megumi standing there. He watched as she kissed him sweetly on his own lips, and watched himself bring the kiss to a more passionate stage. Sano sat around the tabel smiling, but no one could see due to the fact that their eyes were closed.
Megumi saw her desire next. She saw herself being congradulated by some of the greatest doctors in Japan. Then she saw herself sitting on the portch of a small, cozy house. Then she looked on as a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her. She looked up to fins Sano's loving eyes looking down into hers. Sano noticed the tightning of her grip on his hand.
Yahiko saw himself being handed a choclate bar from Tsubame. He won his bet. Then he saw himself being congradualted by kaoru. He had mastered the Kamiya kashine Ryu! He listened as people called him Yahiko-san instead of yahiko-chan.
Tsubame saw herself making lots of money with a new food dish she created at the Akebeko. She watched as Yahiko brought her flowers, and kissed her.
Then there was Kaoru. She saw her self at the festival with kenshin. He had his arms around her, and they shared there first kiss together. Then she saw kenshin on one knee proposing to her. She saw herself holding a little boy with firey red hair like Kenshins. Kenshin sat next to her, one arm around her and one on the child. Then kenshin whispered "I love you" into her ear, and she heard herself replying with the same three words.
Finally Kenshin saw his desire. He watched as he handed kaoru the Kimono. She replied by kissing him. He held her closer and their kiss became more passionate. He then saw himself standing next to Koaru in a traditional wedding gi. His last vison was of a small boy trying to walk with the help of Kaoru. He crouched to the floor with hios arms stretched open as the boy walked forward and fell into his arms. He picked up the boy and took Kaoru into his arms as well. "I love you Kenshin" he heard kaoru say.
Then in an isntant everyones eyes sprung open. All of them looked very disappointed and sad. " Did you see your truest desires?" Madame Yuki asked like she was sure they did.
They all nodded and stared at her in wonder. How was she able to show them their truest desires? "Now I will predict the future. Look into the crystal ball."
Everyone gazed at the crystal ball. And image of Sano getting punched by Saiotu was visible. Then Kaoru and Kenshin were In eachothers arms, it was unknown where they were. Tsubame and Yahiko saw themselves eating a choclate bar. Megumi saw herself bandaging Sano's face where Saiotu hit him. Then the crytal ball went blank. (A/N: everything you just read is bound to happen according to madame Yuki, but how it happened, why it happened, and where it happened remains a mystery so don't think I gave away the story!)
"Oh my, this is not good!" Madame Yuki said. "I see a black figure, but who I can't make out. I see danger in your future, and a see one man who can save his true love. This figure is pure evil, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants." Madame Yuki ended.
The kenshin-gumi sent looks of confusion to eachother. She was right about their truest desires, but was she right about this? The Kenshin-gumi walked out of the tent, but Madame Yuki stopped Kaoru.
"Listen child, I didn't want to say anything in fornt of your friends, but the man with the red hair, is he anyone of importance to you?" she asked with concern.
"Hai." Kaoru replied as she returned the concerned gaze. The lady smiled. "You are the most important person in his life as well. In my vison I did manage to see you and him. You are important to this evil figures plan. I'm warning you from now, don't trust anyone on this Island." She said as she lead kaoru to the exit. "Remember my warning." she said as she closed her tent.
Kenshin looked at Kaoru's distressed face. "What's the matter Kaoru-dono?" Kenshin asked.
"Nothing at all Kenshin!' she said covering her recent mood. Kaoru looked up at the sky to see the sun was finally setting. "It's all most time for the festival!" Kaoru said happily. Kenshin's face lit up. The festival was near! He would be able to tell Kaoru how he felt, and maybe hia deepest desires would come true!
"A pretty flower for a pretty lady?" a voice said from behind Kaoru. A man stood holding a rose to Kaoru. The man had blonde hair and he had green eyes, very familiar green eyes.
"Have we met before?" Kaoru asked looking at his eyes.
"No I don't believe we have had the pleasure of meeting before." the man said charmingly. Kenshin's lip curled in anger. No one is suppose to talk to Kaoru like that but him! The man took Kaoru's hand and placed a kiss upon it. Kenshin was about to but in when Sano put an arm in front of him to stop him.
"Are you going to the festival tonight my fair lady?" the man asked smoothly.
"uh..yes." Kaoru replied unsure of what to do.
"I'll be sure to look for you then." The man said. "By the way, my name is Mizumoto. (A/N: yah, I'm sure that's your name!) He handed Kaoru the rose and walked off, waving to her.
Kenshin was prepared to go after him with his sword but calmed when kaoru smiled at him. "C'mon, we should go get ready for the festival." Megumi said.
They all walked to a hotel and asked to buy a two rooms for one night. The Kenshin-gumi made their way up the stairs and to their rooms. Kaoru was about to walk into her room when Kenshin stopped her. "Kaoru-dono, I have something to give you." Kenshin said as he pulled out a package from his gi. He handed Kaoru the package, caressing her hand as she took it from him.
She carefully opened the beautifully wrapped gift. She gasped when she saw the beautiful kimono. She ran her hand along the fabric and the hand sewn butterflies.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru said as her eyes began to tear.
"she must not like it! I made her cry! Kenshin you baka!" Kenshn thought to himslef.
"I love it!" Kaoru yelled in happiness as she flung her arms around kenshin's neck. Kenshin returned the embrace. They held eachother for along time, cherishing their closeness.
Kenshin and Kaoru reluctantly moved away from eachother, and Kaoru clutched her gift. "Thank you so much kenshin, I love it!"
"I'm glad you like it Kaoru-dono, that I do." Kenshin said sweetly. Kaoru placed a kiss on Kenshin's cheek before running into her room. Kenshin stood there, staring at her door. The urge to run into the room after her was imense. He brought a hand up to his cheek where Kaoru kissed him. It wasn't like his vison at madame' Yuki's tent, but he enjoyed it none the less. He smiled a sweet smile and walked into his room. It was going to be a wonderful night, that he was sure of.
