To Wish Upon A Firefly:
Chapter Four: A Wish Granted
Kaoru lay in Kenshin's arms as she slept. Kenshin softly brushed his hands against her soft cheek. He smiled softly as he watched her. She looked so beautiful, even in the dim light of the room. Slowly he unwrapped his arms from her and stood up. His thoughts were deep as he pulled on his clothes and walked out the door.
Yahiko didn't question him as he saw Kenshin walk out of Kaoru's room several hours later as though nothing had happened. By now it was well into the afternoon and Megumi would be back soon to check up on Kaoru.
Kenshin walked silently out into the yard and looked up at the blue sky. Only a hint of cloud blemished its clear surface. It was truly a beautiful day, in more than one way. He was relieved that Kaoru was ok. The terror of when he saw her lying there on the beach of the lake, not breathing, that terror that had frozen his heart, it still haunted him. He would never let that happened again. He needed her so much. She was everything to him, his whole reason to live. Without her, he didn't know what to do, or where to go. This place, the Kamiya dojo, it really was his home, in the truest sense.
Later that day Kenshin laid another log in the fire that heated Kaoru's bath.
"Miss Kaoru there is something I need to ask you and I don't think it can wait much longer." He said through the wall.
Kaoru paused. "Kenshin come in here."
Kenshin blushed. "Miss Kaoru!"
"KENSHIN GET IN HERE!" Kaoru yelled.
Meekly Kenshin entered the bathhouse, his eyes shut tight.
"What do you want to ask me Kenshin?" Kaoru said staring at his red face.
"Well..Miss Kaoru..I thought..Maybe now..I mean.Well you see...Will you.." He stumbled trying to get out of the words.
"Kenshin, spit out!" she said laughing at his attempts.
"Would you marry me, Miss Kaoru?" His blush deepened even more, if it was possible.
Kaoru grabbed him by his shirt and with a big splash he fell into the bath with her.
Yahiko walked mumbling out into the yard. He was surprised to see Sano standing by the bathhouse. He ran up to him.
"Sano, what the heck are you doing?" Yahiko said.
"Oh I just came by because I heard about what happened to the missy." Sano said as he pressed his head against the wall of the bathhouse.
"That's not what I meant. What I mean is what are you doing here by the bathhouse?" Yahiko questioned.
"I just saw Kenshin go in there a few minutes after Kaoru. I want to see what they are up to. Now be quiet before they hear us!"
When they both quieted they could hear splashing noises, then they heard Kaoru say playfully. "I will Kenshin."
'What is ugly talking about?" Yahiko whispered to Sano. Sano just shushed him. They heard Kaoru giggling and more splashing.
Kenshin slipped out of the bath his clothes dripping wet. Kaoru watched him leave. She was so happy. It seemed like her life was finally falling into place.
Kenshin walked out of the bathhouse to see that Sano and Yahiko were both staring at him with their eyebrows raised. He blushed deeply as he shook out his soaking shirt.
"It is not what you think." Kenshin said even though what they were thinking was correct.
"Kenshin, we know something happened between you and the missy, so you may as well tell us." Sano said trying to be reasonable.
Kenshin sighed. "Kaoru and I." he began, but he was not sure how to tell them.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on tell us, Kenshin. You can trust us." Yahiko said anxiously.
"We are to be..married." Kenshin said, now squeezing the water out of his long red hair.
Yahiko and Sano both smiled. "That's great Kenshin." Sano said patting the much called Kenshin on the back and almost knocking him over.
~sorry, short chapter, but the next ones are going to get good. It will also start having more about Sano and Megumi. ~
