Unknown Goddess
AN: ^^" I'm juggling 2 incomplete stories not including this one and I'm pretty much crazy to do so but I like this story plot… it mainly came to me at summer school but I just thought of it as a Kenshin fanfic so yea… lol ^^"…
Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, Ah My Goddess, or Ayashi no Ceres (This story is a combination of all three…).
Arigato to those who reviewed!! XDDKaoru stared at the man, unable to speak. Her mouth was slightly open, gaping at the red-haired wonder. The man only stared curiously back with hard amber eyes. In a more commanding voice, the man asked, "Who are you?"
Kaoru snapped out of her daze and fumed slightly at his ignorant manners. All the thoughts of his appearance cleared from her mind. He may be in a hospital thought Kaoru, but he has no right to talk to someone like that. Especially someone who is also in the hospital!!! But she responded, nonetheless. Trying to keep the anger and annoyance from her voice, she replied, "Kaoru Kamiya."
She carefully turned around, not wanting to face him. "My name's Kenshin Himura…" said the man, in a much softer voice. Kaoru like his voice, as she leaned into the sound. Deciding to forgive him, her anger resided and she was about to say something, when Soujiro came in with Megumi following closely. Kaoru's heart warmed at his smile and she angled herself to face him better, though still aware of her pain but not caring for the moment. Soujiro smiled back while Megumi went over to Kenshin.

It had been a few weeks since Kaoru had woken up in the hospital, and she was moved to another room so that she could rest in peace alone. She had gotten much better, and her bruises had healed and most bones were mended. In her room, Kaoru quietly got out of her hospital bed and moved around, clasping the bedside rail for support.
Kaoru didn't like the feeling of being hurt, of being weak and frail, so everyday she tried hard and used most of her strength into concentrating on getting better. Soujiro had always been by her side, and she was glad of that. She and Soujiro have become great friends, though she may not see him for a day or two sometimes because he is busy with his hospital duties, though he still tried to see her.
Recently, Kaoru had forgotten about the red-haired wonder, Kenshin. But as she strained to getting to the worn-down brown leather chair that was across the small hospital room, her mind flickered to those deep glowing gold eyes that had caught her attention that one day she woke up in the hospital. Her mind wandered to Kenshin and his long hair as it trailed down to the scar on his cheek.
I wonder how he got that… she wondered, as she stumbled across the room, approaching her destination. As soon as she got to the brown chair, she plopped down with a soft thump and tried to control her breathing. That wasn't that hard… she thought. I bet I could do that again.
And indeed she did, but as she reached halfway, her eyes caught onto a flash of red that passed outside her window. Quickly, Kaoru slightly wobbled over to the window and pressed her face against it, just in time to see Kenshin turn the corner, accompanied by a nurse.
Well HE seems better. Kaoru thought in a huff. Kaoru yearned to be outside in the sunshine, and though she was sure that she had lived her life on earth, she only vaguely remembered what had happened, and Kaoru began to have doubts. But just as her mind was jumping to impossible conclusions, Soujiro came in, and as always, with a bright smile. Kaoru brightened and made her way into Soujiro's warm embrace.
She looked at Soujiro, who was actually only an inch or so taller than her. He always looks like such a kid with those bright green eyes and his brown hair she thought, as she ruffled his hair gently and laughed. "What are you doing here? Are you on break?" asked Kaoru suspiciously, for Soujiro barely had time except for during his lunch break and after his working hours.
She glanced at the clock, and saw that it was 3:00; too late for lunch and way too early for his time to go home. Kaoru glanced at him quizzically, and made her way slowly to the bed. He laughed, and Kaoru smiled. She loved to make Soujiro laugh, but she never actually saw his eyes glisten with true happiness.
"I just came here to tell you that you're able to leave in about one to two weeks, if that's ok with you," responded Soujiro.
Nodding, Kaoru smiled brightly, but soon her brow wrinkled and her lips turned down. "I don't have a place to stay…" said Kaoru, looking at Soujiro with puppy eyes.
He laughed again, and Kaoru struggled to stay in her puppy look, her eyes wide and her lips in a fat pout. "Alright then, you can stay at my apartment while we look for a place for you to stay. How bout that eh?" he coaxed.
Instantly happy again, Kaoru clapped her hands and thanked Soujiro over and over.
"Haha, no problem Kaoru. We'll find a way to work things out."
