Well, I told you I was typing right after I finished the last chapter!!!
So, anyway. you don't want to hear from me, so. here's Chapter 6!!!!
I never thought I'd actually get this far.. I didn't think anyone would want me to!!! XD Aren't I so self-deprecating?!!! Just kidding.. I think..
Disclaimer: OKAY!!! You caught me!!! I DO own RK..Really, I do!!!!
Did I fool you even for a minute? A second? I guess not. x.x
Kenshin was out of his mind with worry. He didn't know what he was so apprehensive about. She had really only been gone for about a half an hour, but it seemed like forever and a day since she had left. But he thought that someone was out to get her. Someone would do something to her. Some man. some drunken man.. Would try to hurt her.. In more ways than one. And he wasn't saying that she wasn't pretty to a man who wasn't under the influence, but a man like that would try to be irrational with her..
Kaoru fluttered her eyelashes, but she was shaking on the inside. She felt like she was betraying Kenshin. Even though she wasn't his 'girl' as everyone insisted she was.
"I'm fine, thank you, good sir." she replied politely. She had stopped fluttering her eyelashes. She had only just met the man, it didn't seem right to flirt with a man she only just met.
"And why are you out at night by yourself? Surely your husband would be worried about you, I'm sure.." He replied, his tone of voice taking a hint of concern.
"I am not married, sir." She replied, becoming slightly annoyed about where the conversation was going.
"A stunningly gorgeous young lady like yourself deserves someone." he smiled.
His sweet, innocent talk was starting to get to her. "T-Thank you... but I am not that pretty, sir. Though I am touched to know you think so.
"Why don't we have a bit of food, and I can tell you how pretty you are. My treat, of course." He smiled.
She smiled as well. She was not one to deny free food, and quite possibly, an evening out. He seemed quite taken with her. "Well..." She seemed reluctant, even though she already knew she was going to say yes. It was all a part of playing 'hard to get'.
"I'd be honored if you'd join me for dinner, Miss..." he trailed off, not knowing her name.
"Kaoru." She smiled. "Miss Kaoru Kamiya."
"What a lovely name, Miss Kaoru..." he smiled, then held out his arm for her to take, and she did.
Kenshin was going insane. "Why did she leave? I knew it was my fault. It always is. I was way too forward, and it scared her away. even though I was trying to be. well, more than friendly, but..." he was still pacing.
They walked along for a little bit, until they reached the Akabeko. Kaoru had expected to stop, with her new found 'friend', but he walked her along for a little while longer.
They were talking as they walked, and she found his name. Akira... She thought it was a lovely name, even though it sounded more suitable for a girl.
"Sir Akira, we have passed the Akabeko.." She warned gently.
"I know. The Akabeko is a nice, friendly place. but they seem busy, so I thought we could go somewhere else. It reduces the wait time, you see..." he explained. "Though, if you'd rather wait, that is also fine with me. Gives us a chance to talk. But, I thought Sakura would do.."
Kaoru's eyes widened, as Sakura had to be one of the nicest restaurants in Tokyo. Not the best, but it was high end. "Sir Akira... I do not deserve that.." She smiled gently, like a shy little schoolgirl. She really wanted to go to the restaurant, but she felt very guilty about wasting his money.
"It's fine, Miss Kaoru. It will give us the perfect opportunity to talk; to get to know each other." He smiled.
"Well. if you insist." she started.
"And I do. Let's go." He smiled, and led her along a bit quicker than before.
Kenshin was just sitting on the porch. Now sitting and sighing. He knew that his consistent pacing was not going to bring her back any quicker. It could only make him more anxious than he already was, if that was even possible.
The pair made their way to Sakura, and Kaoru was weak in the knees when she saw it. She had never realm been there, even though her family was pretty wealthy. It was only until late that she had no money. It was a gorgeous, one story building, and even though the building itself was small, most of the tables were suitable for outside seating. There were candles on each of the many tables. This was very pretty; very..romantic. There was a fence surrounding the entire proximity. The wooden fence was covered in fresh, green vines, that gave the restaurant a nice look. Kaoru had no idea what would happen to her when she came into that restaurant. And neither did Kenshin. But I can promise you that if he knew what was going to happen to her there, there would be no way he would have let her leave that fateful evening.
Sorry, I'm leaving you at a cliff hanger.. again! I may not be able to type much for a few weeks, as my tablet pc is being picked up for repairs next Monday. (Today is the 21) And will probably be out 'till the Monday after. So, I'll try to type on my home computer, but I can't promise anything. Sorry ( Enjoy until then.. and ready my other fics, please!
