Disclaimer: Merfair picks up Kenshin's sword and points it menacingly at the owner of Rurouni Kenshin(forgot name) "Hand over the rights of Kenshin!" The artist laughs.
"Haha.that's a reverse-bladed sword.it can't kill me!"
"I know that..but it can severely wound you." Merfair smirked.
"You gotta point." Just then our favorite Rurouni walks in.Merfair seeing the red-haired cutie..drops the sword..
"Oro.what were you doing with my precious Sakabato(sp? Ah hell I don't care)..?"
"Ah nothing Ken-san.hehe." Merfair walks away pouting..'damn almost had it too.oh well at least I got to see him. *winks at Kenshin* He looks at Merfair confused.
"Weird girl." Kenshin commented after she left the room.
"Yeah I heard she tried to threaten Rumiko Takahashi too."
"Really?"
"Really."
Chapter 3:
'Nani? Where's Kenshin' She looked around the room. Kaoru got up and limped outside to see Kenshin putting her kimono out to dry. "Oh.Kaoru- dono.you shouldn't be putting pressure on it, that you shouldn't." He said pointing at her ankle. She smiled warmly at him.
"Oh it's nothing really.plus the swelling went down thanks to you putting ice on it right away."
"By the way Kaoru-dono?"
"Nani?"
"Did you happen to see Yahiko?"
"No, I just got up. That reminds me.I can't practice with my students today. I wish he were here so I could send him to tell them I can't make it."
"I'll go and tell them for you. You should take it easy on that ankle. You twisted it rather bad Kaoru-dono, that you did."
"I will.oh arigato for cleaning up my kimono." He nodded his head and went to tell her students she couldn't make it. He knew where the two houses were because he went to them once to watch her practice. She was now the Master of the Kamiya Kasshin Style.and Yahiko was her top student. Kaoru wobbled back to her room and sat down. She noticed a piece of paper on her table. 'What's that?' She limped over there and saw that it was another note. 'Weird! Who is writing these things?' She hastily picked it up.it read:
Dear Kaoru-dono,
I'm sorry I missed you last night. If possible.I'll be there again tonight.come if you are able. Remember the Akebeko.
"Geez.who is this person? I mean the only one I know that calls me Kaoru-dono is Kenshin, but Kenshin told me it wasn't him. He would never lie to me." She was bored..'When is he gonna get back? And just where the heck did Yahiko go?'
It was evening now and Kenshin hadn't come back yet and neither did the brat. Kaoru got up, her ankle was feeling much better now. She got dressed in her fresh and clean kimono. She headed out the door. 'Well I gotta check this out! Who on earth would be so persistent that I go and meet them?' She slowly but surely made her way to town. Kaoru was nervous and a little frightened. Where had they gone? What in the world were they possibly doing? She walked into the Akebeko.there sitting at a booth was: "KENSHIN!!!!"
"Hello Kaoru-dono.did you get my note?"
"IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!!!!!" She turned bright red, but her anger soon turned to just pure shock.
"Sorry I had to lie.I wanted this to be a surprise.here come sit down." She slowly walked, but the shock still clung to her and she collapsed on the floor. "Kaoru! Kaoru-dono?" When she awoke she noticed a few people looking down at her. It was Kenshin, Tae-san, Tsubame-chan, and Yahiko. She blinked and finally got up.she noticed someone was holding her, Kenshin. "Are you okay?"
"Uh huh." she said shaking her head. "I can't believe you guys! Keeping this all a secret from me."
"Well a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do," Tae-san commented, "Ken-san told me he needed help." Kenshin had a slight blush on his cheeks.
"With what?" Tae smiled.
"Well.I better get the meal going.you want tea?"
"Sure.what is she talking about Kenshin? Is there something you wanted to tell me?" Everyone had left the room. He took her hand, blushing still only a little brighter. His hands were shaking. "Are you alright?"
"I.I."
"You.you?"
"I love you Kaoru-dono, that I do. I have for the longest time, demo I haven't been able to say it." Kaoru's eyes lit up.this was what she had been waiting for. She noticed eyes on them and she was sure Kenshin did too, that's why he paused. She pulled out one of her hair pins and flung it at the doorway to the kitchen. A yelp was heard.'damn brat!' She smiled.
"You were saying?"
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Kaoru began to tear up, "Will you marry me?"
