To Wish Upon A Firefly:
Chapter Three: Pleading For You
Kenshin quickly caught her as she slumped to the side unconscious.
"Miss Kaoru! Miss Kaoru!" he said as he lightly shook her trying to wake her up. Megumi laid a hand on Kenshin's shoulder. She looked down at him sympathetically.
"Let her rest Kenshin, she needs it." Megumi said.
Kenshin stopped trying to wake her. Megumi watched him as he tenderly laid her down on her floor mat and brushed the hair from her eyes. She could tell a lot from his simple actions. It was so obvious that he was in love with Kaoru that it broke her heart. They were so sweet together, that I almost made her want to cry. Then she caught herself. She didn't want to be a baby. Megumi shook herself out of her reverie.
"Kenshin, she's probably going to be feverish and sick for a while. Her body's gone through a lot of trauma. I suggest you give her lots of liquids and keep her covered up." Megumi said as she closed her bag.
Kenshin turned to look at her. There was such a sadness in his eyes that it made Megumi shiver. "Please, leave us alone...thank you Miss Megumi." He said quietly. Megumi nodded and dragged Yahiko out of the room along with her.
Kenshin turned to Kaoru's side. He picked up a wet rag, which he had gotten earlier and gently wiped her forehead. She was tossing back and forth murmuring something. Kenshin sat beside her on his knees bending down so his forehead was leaning against her's. Slowly he began to murmur to her.
"Kaoru..sweet Kaoru..I'm pleading to you...please make it through...I need you...more than anything in the world...you're the only one...the only one for me."
Gently he stroked her face. She was burning hot under his touch. He traced his finger down her face, his whole body trembling. Why? Why was this happening to his Kaoru? He sat by her side for the rest of the night, wiping water across her face and gently caring for her while murmuring softly to her. He didn't sleep one bit.
The next morning when Yahiko came into the room he saw that Kenshin had still not gone to sleep. Slowly Kenshin looked up at the boy. He was so tired, but he could not go to sleep, not while Kaoru lay sick in bed.
"Kenshin? Are you ok?" Yahiko asked cautiously.
"Could you please get some more water for Miss Kaoru please?" was all the Kenshin said. Yahiko did as he asked and quickly brought some more water. He could tell from Kenshin's expression that he still wanted to be left alone with her. Yahiko was also worried for Kaoru's health, but he knew that if Kenshin was taking care of her she was in good hands.
Kaoru felt soft hands brush her face. She stirred slightly. She recognized the scent, it was Kenshin. She could recognize him anywhere.
Kenshin brought water to her parched lips and slowly she drank. Slowly she gained full conscious and looked up at Kenshin standing over her. He looked so tired as though he had not slept at all. Slowly she reached up a shaking hand to touch his face.
"Kenshin?" She managed to say.
Kenshin stared down at her with relief in his eyes. She finally was truly awake. He nearly laughed. Kaoru, his Kaoru was going to be ok. Tears formed in his eyes and he caught her hand in his own and drew her into a hug. He buried his face in her hair and began to kiss her face.
"Kenshin?!?" She mumbled confused, but enjoying it as his lips eventually found hers. Gently he brought her hands up and down her back caressing her as he kissed her all over. Then he stopped and looked into her eyes, only centimeters separating his face from hers. He could feel her soft breath on his cheeks and it make his tremble and shake.
"I love you Miss Kaoru..That's what I meant to tell you before." He said as he brought his hands back up to her face.
"I love you too Kenshin." She said.
Kaoru's heart pounded wildly in her chest. This what she had been wishing for all the time. It was finally happening. And now that she and Kenshin were finally together, she felt so complete, as though her life could not be better. But she was wrong. And Kenshin proceeded to show her how much better life could be....
