Chapter 2: A New Love
* So, Kenshin finally found you, I just knew he would Kaoru*
Tomoe smiled.
'Ya, hard to think that out of all the places in the world Kenshin really found me finally, but I still can't help but feel he still doesn't love me in return'
She slowly stood up, and started walking around in her own memory.
* Yes, but now we can finally take away his and your pain together, and I know for a fact that he's deeply in love with you Kaoru. Its just you forbid yourself to see it *
'Ya, the fact that really knowing he had two sides once. You fell in love with the Battousai, and I with the Rurouni. But how can he love such a young girl like me? I don't understand it,'
Kaoru sat down, and curled herself into a ball.
'This just doesn't make any more sense. You're supposed to be dead, and yet you are here in my head. Why? This is just way to confusing for my taste really.'
** Kaoru, I watch over Kenshin, its what I promised him. The only way to get rid of all this confusion is for you to travel to the rural village where Kenshin killed me. Please do this for me Kaoru. A sweet innocent girl like you can understand as well as I do, that Kenshin needs help **
'I'll listen to you Tomoe. But I'm really trusting you on this one. This is based on trust, not fate. I've already done with fate, its destiny I'm worried about. I'll go,'
Kaoru's eyes heated up into tears, as they slid down her smooth skin.
.
'I just, love him. That's all I can offer, but I feel like its not enough,'
Kaoru sunk herself into her arms, hiding her face from the sight.
** Kaoru, please don't cry, I'll help you pull through this. Just listen to me. **
Tomoe smiled, and bent down to comfort Kaoru in her need. Kaoru glanced up to see Tomoe's half smile.
** Trust me Kaoru **
'Ok. I trust you.'
Kaoru smiled in return.
She studied Tomoe's face. Kaoru had seen this face from somewhere. But where? How could this feeling be so friendly, yet deadly? How?
** What is it Kaoru? Why are you looking at me in that way? **
'You look, strangely almost exactly like my mother,'
Tomoe's eyes widened.
A bright white flash came.
Kaoru and Tomoe disppeared into the blinding light.
Kaoru was in sight of the inside of her eyelids.
Kenshin laded next to his love in a half sleep, wandered off in thought. Kaoru slowly fluttered her blue eyes open to meet Kenshin's half opened violet eyes.
"Miss Kaoru, you're finally awake, good morning, you slept for a whole night,"
"Ken-shin,"
"Ssshhh..you need your rest, that you do,"
Kenshin gave his sweet rurouni smile, as he swept a finger to Kaoru's lips.
How much he just wanted to kiss her there and then. But she was to injured for that. Battousai just wanted to come out and take her as his. But she was his woman. No other man would lay a finger on her. Not even Sanosuke.
Kenshin placed a hot cloth on her fore head.
Kaoru sighed, as she tried to relax, with the company of her favorite rurouni.
"Kenshin,"
Kaoru was silenced again at Kenshin's finger. His eyes flickered a yellow with an amber mix.
"I told you before Kaoru, that you need your rest, that you do,"
Kaoru was shocked at the fact that Kenshin didn't call her 'Miss Kaoru' this time.
Kenshin smiled again.
He dipped the cloth again in the hot water, and placed it on Kaoru's forehead.
'Finally, she's awake,'
Kenshin watched Kaoru's sleeping figure. Eyeing her body from top to bottom. Her soft curves drove him nuts. He loved her so much. The hot breath from his mouth arose in a small cloud above his lips.
"Its so cold in here,"
Kenshin pulled the blanket over his shoulders, which followed his figure to the wooden floor. He brushed his fire, red hair aside, as he placed his sword across his shoulder.
He sighed, and glanced to the angel's figure again.
She stared back into his violet eyes with such intensity. Her breath as well turned into hot air of the morning.
They stayed in that state of staring one another, until their eyes watered.
"Kenshin?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you believe in young love?"
Kaoru shifted from his sight. Her eyes stared to fill with hot tears.
"That doesn't matter, all I know is that I need to protect you Kaoru, that I do,"
"But that's the problem! Do you only stay around to protect me?! Or do I mean more to you than that! I mean do you love me?! Because I know I have no problem saying I love you!"
Kaoru covered her lips in shock.
Kenshin sat there stunned at her words. 'Did she just say she loved me in return?'
Kenshin shifted closer to her, as he placed his sword to the side.
Kenshin embraced her finally. The time had finally come. The time where he finally could hold her in such a way, that it meant that he truly loved her. His head hovered above hers'. Wanting to take her lips slowly and in a romantic matter.
His breath placed was placed upon her red, rosy lips, as he began to lower himself to her level.
"Ken-shin,"
The moist smell of his presence was the most wonderful thing she had ever felt. His body against her. Embracing a single hug of love. Soon to become a true love's kiss.
"Is it true?"
Kenshin closed his eyes, to get over the silence that had entered the room.
"Kenshin..I."
"Don't,..... Just answer me,...... is it true Kaoru?"
Kenshin's arm wandered to the small of her back, as he brought her in close to meet his body heat.
His free arm, came in contact against hers', as their finger laced together.
"Yes,"
A sweet sound responded, as he brought his lips just above hers'. The silence followed through the room, setting off some heat, to warm the love inside.
"Kenshin, I, we, have to leave,"
Putting some distance between them, she backed away.
"Kaoru,...... what's the matter?"
"We have to leave Kenshin, to the rural village." Kaoru yawned." To meet up with Tomoe, and we must hurry Kenshin, before it's to late."
"Kaoru,..Tomoe is dead, she is no more. I was in love with her once, and I am still..but that is the past. I set it behind me. I see you before me, nothing else,"
Kenshin smiled.
Kaoru's tears continued down her skin.
Kenshin lifted up his hand to brush the swelling tears away from her beautiful eyes. The area that surrounded her eyes was red, and swelling. The blueness of her eyes stood out in the morning dawning warmth.
"Kenshin, I'm,.....I'm sorry what as happened here. I know so much, and yet so little.I'm so confused. You're body is so close to mine, but your heart beats in the past Kenshin. I'm not even sure you've really given up your past. I think that you can't forgive yourself at anytime....and yet I feel your pain! Why!!! Why must you go through pain!!!!!!"
Kaoru's eyes started swelling once again, while pounding on his chest for safety.
"Kaoru, no koishii, I only go through pain when I'm not able to kiss you, the way I've longed for Kaoru,"
Kenshin slowly pushed Kaoru to the wooden floor of the guest room. He skin pressed against hers', as she could feel a groan in her lower stomach.
Kenshin's mouth inserted onto hers'. The passionate kiss began to become even deeper. Kenshin ran his tongue against the bottom of her lip, wanting to enter. Kaoru's mouth opened, and Kenshin was sent in. They played with each other for a while.
They rolled atop each other, each wanting control of the other. More and more, each of their lips began to turn a rose color, as their bodies let out a romantic final kiss.
Kaoru rolled onto her back, panting for breath of the cold morning. Kenshin lay beside her, panting as well.
Kaoru shifted under Kenshin arm for warmth. The cold breeze of morning air entered the room again. The kiss was deep. Very deep. Kaoru closed her eyes as she sighed, in remembrance, of Yahiko, Sanosuke and Megumi.
The thought of just leaving them behind like that was sad enough.
And she missed them.
Mostly Megumi, although they had a lot of fights on Kenshin, and how Sanosuke is a baka, they always found time to talk.
'I wonder how they're doing now, hhmm.I bet better than I am, after all.these injuries are going to take time to heal.'
***
Yahiko ran back and forth across the floor of the dojo, shining it until you could see your own face.
The floor was spotless in a matter of seconds. Yahiko staggered across the floor, tired and bored. He made his way over to the water basket, where he dropped it in with not a care in the world.
He sighed.
He sat down for a rest from the chores. The chore list.OH! The chore list, the pain of doing everything by yourself, without a single person helping. Wow! That would be some hard work. Yahiko sat against the pole to the dojo and sighed once more.
"Kaoru, Kenshin, where are you?" Yahiko stated to himself.
Sanosuke and Megumi turned the corner, and walked up the gate of the Kaimya Dojo.
He opened it with ease, and shut the gate behind him after Megumi.
Sanosuke and Megumi walked down the stoned path, and into the back yard of the garden, where they found Yahiko half asleep on the step.
"Hey Yahiko," Sano greeted the young boy with a smile.
Yahiko peeked through his left eye to see Sano standing there. He leaned up out of his sleeping position.
"Evening Little Yahiko," Megumi greeted with a half smile.
"Hey Sano, Megumi, why are you here?" Yahiko questioned out of concern.
"I just came to check up on ya, and to tell you the news I heard from Megumi about Kenshin and Kaoru," Sano replied, as he smirked at the Yahiko and pointed to the figure next to him.
"Tell me,"
Sano walked over to him, and sat his butt down on the dojo step next to Yahiko.
He placed his bag on the ground next to his right leg.
Megumi followed, but folded her legs underneath her, and sat next to Sanosuke
"Kenshin made it safely to Kyoto, and found Kaoru at Misao's place where Kaoru was taken care of and her injuries of falling over board,"
"Wow, Kenshin found her, injuries? What injuries?!" Yahiko whispered in a breathless voice, as he looked hard at Sanosuke.
"They'll be returning shortly, and Kaoru fell over board on the way to Kyoto, so ya.she's almost healed"
He leaned back to the ground and closed his eyes, with his hands supporting his head.
"I'd say, about tomorrow evening they'll arrive home," Megumi smiled, and placed a hand on Sanosuke's hand, making him blush a quick pink.
"Cool, I guess I better do the rest of the chores then. Thanks Sano.Megumi,"
Yahiko turned his head and looked towards the kitchen where the dishes hadn't been done in about 2 days. The chore list had come back to haunt him.
"Yes, but the rest looks pretty great Little Yahiko," Sano stated.
"Yes, I would have to agree with Mr. Know-it-all over here or chicken- shimatta,"
Megumi agreed.
She pointed to Sanosuke, and looked around the spotless dojo.
"I told you not to call me little Sanosuke!"
He got up and stumbled into the kitchen where the carrots were, and the spice known as sugar.
"What was that comment? CHICKEN-SHIMATTA??!!"
"No, just...relax.....chicken-shimatta," Megumi snickered to herself.
Sanosuke turned to the figure that was looking through the kitchen cabinet for something. Yahiko, what was he doing? Oh, crap, not the SPICE!
"No Yahiko! Don't'!"
Sanosuke got to his feet chased Yahiko around the kitchen, where Yahiko grabbed the sugar and carrot.
"Now, let the fun begin! We'll see who can mess with me after this sugar rush!"
Yahiko shuck the sugar over the carrot and took a bite.
His eyes widened, as he threw the carrot aside, and started eating the sugar.
"No!!!"
Megumi started a little giggle.
"This is not the time to be LAUGHING MEGUMI! HELP ME!"
"No," She giggled once more.
And the case was on. In the left lane was Yahiko/Carrot Sugar Boy and in the right lane Sanosuke / Chicken-shimatta /Idiot/ Baka/ Saver?
They ran into the sparring room, where Yahiko grabbed a wooden sword, and turned to face Sano.
"Bring it on,"
Sano widened his eyes at the pose that Yahiko had taken.
'How can that kid take such a pose? I haven't seen that one yet!'
Yahiko speeded across the room, as Sanosuke sunk down into position, ready for the first attack. In a downward thrust, Yahiko's sword came crashing down upon Sanosuke's head.
He fell to the ground..knock out.
K. O.!!!!
"Now! I shall use you as a stool!" Yahiko exclaimed in hyperactive ness.
He pulled Sano into the kitchen, and stood on his back, while he did the dishes.
'Sugar just saved my butt, before Kenshin and Kaoru come home, I've got to store some in my room,' Yahiko thought in delight, as he finished washing the dishes.
Yahiko jumped off of Sanosuke's back, and grabbed the bag of sugar, and walked into his room. 'It will be safe here, no one will find it..Hahaha * cough cough * hahaha,' Yahiko thought evilly, as he stored the sugar in his closet.
He walked back into the kitchen to find that Sanosuke was still knocked out cold on the wooden floor.
Yahiko ran and grabbed some ink and a brush, and started drawing all over Sanosuke's face.
"Yahiko, you little devil........here.let me help you,"
Megumi smirked.
She too grabbed an extra brush next to the inkbottle, and started drawing on Sanosuke's face as well.
Circled, and crosses! Let the fun begin!!!!!
About 2 hours later, Sanosuke woke up with a headache and was sitting out front of the dojo with his bag in hand.
"Sano, I think you better get going, it's getting close to bed time," Yahiko smiled, trying to contain his laugh.
Sanosuke slowly stood up, and started walking to the gate of the dojo, and exited happily.
"I'll stay here and help Yahiko clean up, have a nice trip home Sano," Megumi waved good-bye to the retard.
'I wonder how long it will be until he notices,' Yahiko thought to himself.
He heard screams of laughter from the crowded streets of Tokyo.
'Not very long.'
"Yahiko," Megumi questioned.
She smirked and glanced over at the little brat who was still laughing.
"What is it Miss Megumi?" Yahiko replied in between breaths from laughing.
"We got him good this time," Megumi laughed.
Megumi high-fived him, and looked back to the gate of the Kamiya Dojo.
"MEGUMI??!!!! YAHIKO????!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU BETTER GET RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sanosuke slowed opened the door, to find Yahiko rolling on the ground in laughter. Megumi was standing next to him, staring at Sanosuke like an idiot with her famous giggle/laugh to the hand.
"YUP! We SURE GOT YOU GOOD THAT TIME!"
Yahiko screamed in delight.
A pounding from Sanosuke's feet signaled to run.
And so they were off.Megumi in the right lane, with Yahiko in the left, and Sanosuke right on their butt!!!!!
KICK IT INTO TURBO!!!!!!!
***
After a good day's of sleep, Kaoru was feeling even stronger about their relationship between herself and Kenshin.
The passion she had discovered was even greater than she had image. He loved her in such a way; he was willing to give his life for hers'. The best thing was, he didn't care about the age, and he didn't care about the past. All that mattered now was she and he.
Her cheeks warmed at the thought. Gave shivers up and down her spin with uncontrollable passion. The love, the violet eyes, the fire bloody hair, it drove her nuts.
Her wonderful eyes traveled his figure, wanting every inch of him, but not now, wait until they returned home, in the Kamiya Dojo, where they belong.
'Tomoe, if you can hear me, I'm fine with the love he as for me.' She paused and took a sigh. 'Kenshin is fine, I'll love him, and he will love me in return, there is no reason to remove his cross scar. Because every time I look at it now, I feel stronger, that he as finally moved on, and yet still loves you no matter what..there is no reason to travel now.........I have made up my mind.'
Kaoru's eyes shuttered and turned a white. The blackness in her eyes, showing her life, was gone. She fell for a long period. No stopping the blackness that surrounded her and clung to her body with no hopes or desire.
Kenshin awoke from his latest dream and turned to face Kaoru's lifeless body.
"What? Kaoru? You awake? Kaoru?"
Kenshin reached over and pushed her body a few times, but no response. Kenshin's eyes flooded with worry. Kenshin flipped himself to face Kaoru fully.
"Kaoru?!"
Kenshin spoke aloud, hoping to hear a reply, but nothing, just silence.
She continued to fall, an endless falling journey, never to reach its arrived point.
* Kaoru *
Her name was called in an echo. Her body slowed down to hit a hard marble black floor.
* Kaoru *
Her name came again.
Kaoru started to shiver in worry. She clung her legs to her chest, and hid her head in her arms.
'GO AWAY!'
She screamed.
* Kaoru, I just want to talk *
Tomoe appeared, and sat next to her.
'Tomoe? Oh, its just you, good,'
Kaoru sighed and looked at the disappointment in her eyes.
* Kaoru, you're in dangerous trouble *
'How? Why? I'm perfectly safe with Kenshin, and I'm happy! Why aren't you happy for me?!'
* No, its not that Kaoru, I'm over filled with joy, that the man slayer I fell in love with finally realized that he was living in the past.I'm worried for your safety now. It's my brother; he wants revenge for my death.. I've known it for so long, I just never knew when.and now I know........its going to happen soon Kaoru! *
'Your brother Enishi? What does he have to deal with all of this?'
Kaoru's eyes widened, as Tomoe tried to smile, but failed.
* Very soon, run *
Tomoe sighed, and turned her head to try to wonder off into a different thought.
***
Author's Note: Ok I know it wasn't as much as last time....but I'm still working on it.and I just had to make the sugar scene even better than before!!! ^_^ I might be moving soon, so I'm not going to update as much as I use to.ok? Thx for the waiting.^_^;;;
But I'm trying......plz R&R and no bad reviews.thx.^_^ buh bye! NEKO!
* So, Kenshin finally found you, I just knew he would Kaoru*
Tomoe smiled.
'Ya, hard to think that out of all the places in the world Kenshin really found me finally, but I still can't help but feel he still doesn't love me in return'
She slowly stood up, and started walking around in her own memory.

They ran into the sparring room, where Yahiko grabbed a wooden sword, and turned to face Sano.
"Bring it on,"
Sano widened his eyes at the pose that Yahiko had taken.

'Sugar just saved my butt, before Kenshin and Kaoru come home, I've got to store some in my room,' Yahiko thought in delight, as he finished washing the dishes.
Yahiko jumped off of Sanosuke's back, and grabbed the bag of sugar, and walked into his room. 'It will be safe here, no one will find it..Hahaha * cough cough * hahaha,' Yahiko thought evilly, as he stored the sugar in his closet.
He walked back into the kitchen to find that Sanosuke was still knocked out cold on the wooden floor.
Yahiko ran and grabbed some ink and a brush, and started drawing all over Sanosuke's face.
"Yahiko, you little devil........here.let me help you,"
Megumi smirked.
She too grabbed an extra brush next to the inkbottle, and started drawing on Sanosuke's face as well.
Circled, and crosses! Let the fun begin!!!!!
About 2 hours later, Sanosuke woke up with a headache and was sitting out front of the dojo with his bag in hand.
"Sano, I think you better get going, it's getting close to bed time," Yahiko smiled, trying to contain his laugh.
Sanosuke slowly stood up, and started walking to the gate of the dojo, and exited happily.
"I'll stay here and help Yahiko clean up, have a nice trip home Sano," Megumi waved good-bye to the retard.
'I wonder how long it will be until he notices,' Yahiko thought to himself.
He heard screams of laughter from the crowded streets of Tokyo.
'Not very long.'
"Yahiko," Megumi questioned.
She smirked and glanced over at the little brat who was still laughing.
"What is it Miss Megumi?" Yahiko replied in between breaths from laughing.
"We got him good this time," Megumi laughed.
Megumi high-fived him, and looked back to the gate of the Kamiya Dojo.
"MEGUMI??!!!! YAHIKO????!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU BETTER GET RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sanosuke slowed opened the door, to find Yahiko rolling on the ground in laughter. Megumi was standing next to him, staring at Sanosuke like an idiot with her famous giggle/laugh to the hand.
"YUP! We SURE GOT YOU GOOD THAT TIME!"
Yahiko screamed in delight.
A pounding from Sanosuke's feet signaled to run.
And so they were off.Megumi in the right lane, with Yahiko in the left, and Sanosuke right on their butt!!!!!
KICK IT INTO TURBO!!!!!!!

After a good day's of sleep, Kaoru was feeling even stronger about their relationship between herself and Kenshin.
The passion she had discovered was even greater than she had image. He loved her in such a way; he was willing to give his life for hers'. The best thing was, he didn't care about the age, and he didn't care about the past. All that mattered now was she and he.
Her cheeks warmed at the thought. Gave shivers up and down her spin with uncontrollable passion. The love, the violet eyes, the fire bloody hair, it drove her nuts.
Her wonderful eyes traveled his figure, wanting every inch of him, but not now, wait until they returned home, in the Kamiya Dojo, where they belong.
'Tomoe, if you can hear me, I'm fine with the love he as for me.' She paused and took a sigh. 'Kenshin is fine, I'll love him, and he will love me in return, there is no reason to remove his cross scar. Because every time I look at it now, I feel stronger, that he as finally moved on, and yet still loves you no matter what..there is no reason to travel now.........I have made up my mind.'
Kaoru's eyes shuttered and turned a white. The blackness in her eyes, showing her life, was gone. She fell for a long period. No stopping the blackness that surrounded her and clung to her body with no hopes or desire.
Kenshin awoke from his latest dream and turned to face Kaoru's lifeless body.
"What? Kaoru? You awake? Kaoru?"
Kenshin reached over and pushed her body a few times, but no response. Kenshin's eyes flooded with worry. Kenshin flipped himself to face Kaoru fully.
"Kaoru?!"
Kenshin spoke aloud, hoping to hear a reply, but nothing, just silence.
She continued to fall, an endless falling journey, never to reach its arrived point.
* Kaoru *
Her name was called in an echo. Her body slowed down to hit a hard marble black floor.
* Kaoru *
Her name came again.
Kaoru started to shiver in worry. She clung her legs to her chest, and hid her head in her arms.
'GO AWAY!'
She screamed.
* Kaoru, I just want to talk *
Tomoe appeared, and sat next to her.
'Tomoe? Oh, its just you, good,'
Kaoru sighed and looked at the disappointment in her eyes.
* Kaoru, you're in dangerous trouble *
'How? Why? I'm perfectly safe with Kenshin, and I'm happy! Why aren't you happy for me?!'
* No, its not that Kaoru, I'm over filled with joy, that the man slayer I fell in love with finally realized that he was living in the past.I'm worried for your safety now. It's my brother; he wants revenge for my death.. I've known it for so long, I just never knew when.and now I know........its going to happen soon Kaoru! *
'Your brother Enishi? What does he have to deal with all of this?'
Kaoru's eyes widened, as Tomoe tried to smile, but failed.
* Very soon, run *
Tomoe sighed, and turned her head to try to wonder off into a different thought.
