Chapter 5 ~
**********
Kaoru woke up the next morning. She felt unfamiliar with her surrounding.
"You're awake at last," a voice called out.
"Kenshin. What are you doing here?," She asked with a blush.
"Trying to wake you up," he replied.
He was wearing a lose T-shirt with a short pants and his hair was left down. It was his usual night wear.
"So you're going to the company with me right?," he asked a moment later.
"Sure," she replied getting up. Her sprained ankle had healed a little. She had managed to walk by limping.
"Wait. You don't' expect me to walk around wearing this," she said as she pointed at her shirt.
"I'll lend you a smaller one," he replied getting up and walked to his room. He came back a moment later . As it was winter now , he handed her a black high collar long sleeve shirt that he had wore on that day when he arrived with a pair jeans. She took it and thnakd him.
**********
After about 30 minutes , he came back to Kaoru's room. she was all dressed up in his clothes. It fitted her better than the previous one. He couldn't help but wonder why was she so thin. Didn't she eat?
He help her downstairs to have breakfast. He too was dressed in clothes similar to Kaoru's with a cross pendant. His hair had been in his usual style just like Kaoru's.
**********
After they finished their breakfast , they headed to the company. However , it was Kenshin's turn to drive. He was a better driver not as mad as Kaoru.
"I wonder how she got her license," he thought inwardly.
"I wonder how he changed this fast. He's an ice-cream just a few days ago," she thought with a frown.
The rest of the journey went silently.
**********
They reached the company in a usual way. He was always surrounded by girls. He helped her out of the car and held her by her shoulders to prevent her form falling. She shiver from the cold weather and he took off his scarf to wrap around her heck. All the other girls were already glaring daggers a Kaoru.
"She's wearing his clothes," a girl whispered.
"Are they already that close?," another said.
"Is there a problem?," Kenshin's cold tone echoed through the hall. It somehow silent them in a second.
They left the hall and entered Kaoru's aunt room for a meeting.
**********
"I didn't know you were that close already," her aunt teased her when they came in.
"Aunt!," Kaoru yelled angrily. Her face was turning red.
He couldn't help but chuckled at her expression.
"He look nice like that," Kaoru thought inwardly.
"So Himura , will you like Kaoru to follow you to Sydney for your concert next week?," Aunt Saori asked.
"Anything," he replied.
"Ok. She'll be helping you and here's your ticket," she said as she handed them their tickets.
"You'll be staying there for a few weeks until the concert end," she added in a moment later.
They nodded and left the room.
*********
Kenshin was free for the rest of the day. He drive Kaoru home and help her into her house.
"Busu , where have you been?," Yahiko yelled as she came in.
"I was staying in my friend house," she replied with a smile.
It was then Yahiko realized the redhead.
"Hi , I'm Yahiko," he said.
"Himura Kenhsin," Kenshin repleid.
They helped Kaoru up into her room. Kenshin left a moment later. Kaoru was reluctant to let him go but said nothing.
**********
"Hey! Misao. How are you?," Kaoru asked in the phone.
"Fine. So how's your date?," Misao asked excitedly.
"Well , it was like this...," Kaoru began the story.
"So he save you and you stayed at his house," Misao said in a disbelief tone.
"Yes and I'm following him to Sydney for the concert," Kaoru added in a moment later.
"Oh How I wish I were you," Misao said in a sad tone.
"Don't be like this. I'll get you Aoshi's picture," Kaoru said pleadingly.
"Really? THANK YOU," Misao yelled and it make Kaoru winced in pain.
**********
A week had past since then and it's a day before the flight.
"Hello," Kaoru said in the phone.
"Hello. Kaoru?," Kenshin replied.
"Ano...i was wondering will you like to stay in my house tonight?," Kaoru asked.
"Huh?," he asked confused.
"We're leaving early in the morning right? So why don't you stay here?," she asked again.
"Um...ok," he replied.
"So that's it then. See you later," she said and they both hung up.
**********
"Ding Dong"
Kaoru rushed to open the door. It was Kenshin.
"Konbanwa," he said.
"Konbanwa come in," she said as she pushed him in.
She lead him to the room beside hers. Yahiko had been asked to stayed in Aunt Saori's house until she comes back.
"What do you want for dinner?," she asked a moment later.
"Anything," he replied.
"So let's have spagetthi," Kaoru said as she rushed to the kitchen as he sat in the dining hall.
She came back about an hour later. She was all mess up. Her hair was dropping from it's ponytail and her clothes were stained with sauce. Kenshin chuckled.
"I'll have a bath first," she said as she ran to her room.
He took a bite.
"It was true. She was a horrible cook," he thought as his face turned green.
**********
It was midnight when Kenshin awoke to the sound of thunder. And then he heard Kaoru's cry in the next room. He got up and headed to her room. He knock on it but nobody answered. He opened the door and saw her couch on the bed sobbing.
"What happened?," he asked as he sat down beside her on the bed.
"Kenshin , I'm scared," she said as she winced at the sound of the thunder.
"You're afraid of the thunder," he said just before she clung on him when the thunder crash again.
"Stay with me please," she said with teary eyes.
Kenshin nodded and she fell asleep a moment later on his lap.
He sigh and push her back down on the bed and sat beside her watching her sleep.
