Disclaimer: Sneaking into the artist's studio, Merfair crept searching for
the deed to Rurouni Kenshin. "Hmmm.where could it be?" Finally, as she
rummaged through a desk: "Alright! Found it!" She rubbed it against her
cheek. "Now I don't ever have to write another disclaimer again!" (I know
all of you out there are happy.). Suddenly she heard a loud:
"Oro!" And a crash was heard; Merfair turned abruptly around. The dark shadowy character got up and brushed him/herself off.
"Stay back!"
"That isn't yours, that it isn't. Mr. Watsuki told me to watch out for you, that he did."
"Kenshin?"
"Hai?" Merfair, feeling ashamed of herself, dropped the deed. She felt like Misao when Kenshin first met her.
"Fine.I won't take it." She sighed.
"My work here is done."
"Damn that artist knows my weak spot." Merfair grumbled as she left the studio.as well as cursing under her breath.
Chapter 5:
"Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin barged into her room with worry only to find her blotting up ink on her floor. She jumped at his not-so-graceful entrance.
"Oh my gosh! Don't scare me like that Kenshin. I nearly jumped outta my skin."
"What are you doing?" He said as he walked over to her side.
"Making a list." She said as she rubbed the floor, still trying to get the ink out.
"For what?"
"People to invite to the wedding. I couldn't sleep. Why'd you come in here?"
"I heard a noise."
"Oh it must have been just the ink bottle breaking.hehe."
"Here let me help you." He took the ink stained towel form her hands and started rubbing at the mark. "Ow."
"Nani?"
"Cut my finger."
"On a piece of glass. I thought I got it all up.gomen."
"It's fine, that it is."
"Hopefully no ink got into the cut." She went to the kitchen and came back carrying a small bucket of water. "Gimme your finger." She gently dipped it in the water and then wrapped a bandage on it, making a cute little bow. She smirked, "Kawaii." He chuckled a tad.
"Arigato."
"I'm your fiancé Kenshin, it's my job to take care of you." She grinned, placing a light kiss on his finger. Their eyes locked and in an instant their lips did too. Kaoru's heart was pounding as she was drawn into him, but he broke away.
"Gomen." He was blushing, "It's been awhile since I've done anything of this sort. I'm not very good at it in the first place."
"No, no it was." She paused and grabbed him to her chest, "more than enough. I'm new at this too you know.you're the first man I've ever kissed."
"Oro, Kaoru-dono." He said muffled.
"Oops.I got a little excited..gomen."
"Better get back to bed, that I should."
"Hai, that you should." She mimicked him. He just smiled and left the room. She tucked herself into bed. Just then her door swung open. Kaoru shot up in her bed. "Kenshin.nani?" She realized her yukata was loosely hanging low on her chest. She straightened it up.
"Gomen." Kenshin said as he looked away.
"It's okay, really Kenshin.we're getting married or has that not sunk into your head yet? You won't be hit over the head with a random object or called 'Baka, Hentai, etc.' whenever you see me well..ano.bare." He started laughing, it was a rarity to hear his laughter. It was such a pleasant sound. "So now why did you barge into my room this time?"
"I forgot to say goodnight."
"Is that all?"
"Hai."
"Goodnight Kenshin." He came to her side and tucked her into her bed once again. She grinned and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight my Kaoru-dono."
"Oro!" And a crash was heard; Merfair turned abruptly around. The dark shadowy character got up and brushed him/herself off.
"Stay back!"
"That isn't yours, that it isn't. Mr. Watsuki told me to watch out for you, that he did."
