Chapter 7: Love candy
Disclaimer: Iie... Koharu-chan doesn't own RK! Only Watsuki-sama does!
Three days passed since Kaoru was gone.
It was night. Everyone was sleeping already.
Megumi typed something on her laptop while eating onagiri.
//Have you delivered what I asked for? //
//Your order should be right away there. //
Megumi smirked. She opened the door of her house and saw a box. She went upstairs to her room and saw the box full of small whitepapers. They were covering something. Megumi opened one and tasted it. "This is it. With this, I'll be the richest person in whole Japan! OHOHOOOOHOHO!!" she exclaimed.
One man looked at the apartment of Megumi. "SHH!!"
Megumi looked down on the man by the window. "Oh! Hey you! Mind your own business, you dirty, old man!!" she exclaimed.
All the lights in the houses around her apartment were open. The people looked up at the apartment and threw some things on her. "SHH!!! We're trying to sleep here, you kitsune!!!"
"Okay, okay!!" Megumi exclaimed then shut the window tight. She lied on her bed. "How ignorant people can be these days!! Anyway...I wonder where Ken- san is. I haven't seen him for a while...and the tanuki is gone. Ah!" She reached for her cell phone and dialed.
"Moshi-moshi...? Yawn!!"
"Yahiko! Big news! Write in the newspaper that...blah! Blah! Blah!"
Meanwhile...
Kenshin was walking by the street. He was carrying his flashlight, in hopes of finding Kaoru. "Kaoru..." he whispered.
"Kenshin...?"
"Kaoru?!" Kenshin looked around and saw Kaoru with a surprised face with Aoshi.
"Kenshin!!!" Kaoru exclaimed. She ran towards Kenshin then hugged him. "Baka!! Where have you been?! Why didn't you save me?!" Kaoru exclaimed, stopping her tears. She immediately realized what she was doing and pulled away from Kenshin shyly. "Gomen..."
Kenshin pulled her back to him and hugged her tightly. "It's good you're unharmed..."
Kaoru was surprised, but she let him hug her. She was with Kenshin anyway. He would protect her. He would never leave her.
Kenshin glared at Aoshi. "Who are you?"
"Shinomori Aoshi."
"Kaoru-dono, did he do something bad to you?"
Kaoru-dono.
That honorific again...
Kaoru couldn't speak. She heard him say clearly her name without an honorific. She thought...she thought that...that Kenshin was treating her very different...rather special...
"Kaoru-dono. Doushita no?"
Kaoru shook her head. "No... He did not touch me..." she said sadly.
Aoshi walked away. "I'll confront you next time, Battousai. Kamiya must not see the way I'll kill you." He whispered then disappeared.
"Huh?"
Kaoru watched as Aoshi disappeared. "Aoshi..."
"How did you know him?" Kenshin asked, confused.
Kaoru smiled weakly. "I don't know..." she murmured. "I better go home now... I'm tired..." she said.
"I better accompany you." Kenshin said, holding Kaoru's right hand.
Kaoru pulled away. "No. I'll be fine myself." She said then started to walk away. She didn't know where she was going then suddenly, she tripped. "Itai!"
"Kaoru-dono!"
Kaoru sat up and saw her left knee bleeding. The road was really full of stones. "Itai..."
"Kaoru-dono..." Without another word, he gently placed his arm around her and he felt Kaoru lean on him with a sigh of contentment.
"Kenshin..."
With a mischievous grin, Kenshin picked Kaoru up on his arms and stood to his feet. He looked down on Kaoru.
Kaoru's eyes widened. She was really surprised.
Minutes passed...
"Kenshin,"
"Mmhhm?" Kenshin said absently because he was staring too much at her blue eyes.
"Am I a burden to you?" Kaoru asked.
"Iie. How can you be, Kaoru-dono, when I like you to be always by my side?"
"I mean...did I cause you another problem with Jin'eh? Because you know...I'd stay away if you want to. Sometimes, I'm the one who doesn't like to be with you...because I feel like I'm a nuisance to you... If you think I'm really a nuisance, then say it to me. Don't worry about me getting upset." Kaoru said with a long pause.
Because I already experienced that...
Kaoru's thoughts flew to Aoshi again. Aoshi, Aoshi, Aoshi. Always him. Kaoru couldn't look at Kenshin, but she felt his hands tighten on her arms and legs.
"It's you who's thinking like that. You're really not a nuisance to me. I'm not lying."
"Um... Okay... Gomen if I said too much." Kaoru whispered.
Kenshin showed his famous Rurouni smile at Kaoru with much of concern.
Kaoru blushed crimson. "Ah... Am I heavy?"
"Nope." Kenshin looked seriously this time. "Kaoru-dono, what did those six men do to you?" he asked calmly, but his eyes were beginning to be amber.
"They were going to gang-rape me. I was really scared when they were slowly releasing me from the ropes and when a man tore off my sleeve... I was really, really scared... But, good thing that Aoshi came and saved me... But..."
Kenshin understood. But now, he wants the sadness to go away behind the charming smile that Kaoru always wears. He gave her a candy.
"You like milk candies?" Kaoru asked as she held the candy.
"No, but it'll make a person happy."
"You're like a psychiatrist.... I'm not sick."
"I know you're not sick. But I want you to be happy."
"But the side-effects are very scary. I might get fat!" Kaoru said, laughing prettily.
Kenshin laughed with Kaoru. "So you know how to say funny jokes, Kaoru- dono!" he said. He poked Kaoru on her waist.
"Hey! That tickles!" Kaoru exclaimed, still laughing.
"Well, I think you're a bit fat." Kenshin said as he chuckled.
Kaoru pushed Kenshin. "Hey!!" she exclaimed then moaned. She uniform was touching her wounded knee.
"I better put some disinfectant on it. Can you stay in my house in a day? But your parents might be worried." Kenshin said.
Kaoru looked away. "They died already... I'm alone in my apartment..." she murmured.
"Gomen."
"Iie. It's okay..."
Later in Kenshin's house...
"Tadaima!" Kenshin said as he entered in the house. Kenshin laid Kaoru on the sofa.
"You live here alone?"
"Nope."
"Where are the others?"
"Wait. I'll call him. Shisou! Shisou!" Kenshin exclaimed. "I think he's asleep." He went over to the cabinet in the living room and pulled out a first-aid kit. He put a disinfectant around the cotton bud and he wiped the wound with it.
Kaoru bit her lower lips. She dug her fingers on his shoulders. "Ah... Gomen nasai... It's just so painful!" Kaoru exclaimed.
"That's okay." Kenshin said. He put a band-aid on the wounded knee and looked proudly at it. "See? It's all done now."
Kaoru sighed. "Arigatoo..." she said cheerfully. She looked at the clock and saw it was already 11:30 pm.
"Can you walk?" Kenshin asked.
"A little." Kaoru whispered.
"Then I'll carry you again."
"Ah! N-no!"
"Eh?"
"I'm fine by myself." Kaoru said while blushing.
Later, Kenshin was showing Kaoru her room. "This is your room. This is used to be occupied by Shisou's ex." Kenshin said then chuckled.
"Thanks, Kenshin." Kaoru said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Call me if you need me." Kenshin said with a smile. He closed the door quietly.
Kaoru looked around. "This bed is so comfortable, and the room has wide space." She looked around again and saw someone at the window, staring at her. "Ah! Ah! AHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Kenshin immediately went inside the room of Kaoru. "Kaoru-dono! What's happening?!"
Kaoru pointed the man that was still staring at her. "T-t-that person!!!!" she exclaimed.
Kenshin went towards the window and sighed. "Shishou. What are you doing here?"
"Baka deshi! Is that Miyuki coming back to me?" Hiko asked.
"Hiko-sensei?!" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Kamiya girl?!" Hiko exclaimed.
"Ok. So you two have known each other. Shisou, please. Let Kaoru-dono sleep." Kenshin said, rather lazily.
"Ok, fine!" Hiko exclaimed then went away.
"Don't worry about Shisou. He always comes here to see if Miyuki-dono has come back."
"That's okay, Kenshin..."
Silence...
"Ah. Sleep tight, Kaoru-dono." Kenshin said then closed the door.
Kaoru nodded. She put the lights out then lied on the bed. "Good-for- nothing girl! Kaoru Kamiya, why didn't you tell him your feelings?!" Kaoru thought. "Well, there's a lot of time left..." Kaoru whispered. "I wonder what Aoshi is up to now... I just can't let him kill Kenshin, and I just can't let Aoshi kill somebody... Otousan, help me. Give me the courage, the strength to convince Aoshi not to kill..."
"Kamiya,"
"Aoshi..." Kaoru whispered before drifted in a deep sleep.
Outside the window, Aoshi watched her...
