Chapter 26: Mute for a moment...
Disclaimer: I don't own RK!
WARNING: The story's a bit long... Have patience and read please! ^_^;
I ran towards our car, thinking about certain things. I saw Sanosuke running up to me.
Sanosuke got hold of me by my shoulders. "What's the matter, Kaoru? Are you...crying?" he asked sweetly.
I looked at Sanosuke with so much concern and care.
Kenshin is right...
I only care for him...
I shook my head and smiled. "I'm not crying... I'm...so sleepy..." I said and yawning.
Sanosuke patted my head. "Why didn't you say so? Let's go to the hotel room!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
It was already night...
Okaasan, otousan, and Sanosuke are asleep except me.
I went out of the room quietly.
Very sneaky!
I went out of the hotel room and strolled around the beach again. Suddenly, I heard noises.
I ran up to the noises and was surprised.
Lights, camera, ACTION!
"Stop playing with me," Kenshin said to the actress.
"Playing? You're the one who went with Natsumi!" the actress exclaimed.
I watched Kenshin play the part of a 'playboy'.
Playboy?
The directors sure have the right actor to do it.
I looked at the actress and she seemed so familiar to me.
After some minutes, the shooting was over.
Kenshin grabbed his towel and wiped his forehead. He noticed me looking at the beach.
I looked at the beach and thought about something. "Wow... It's like...I'll spend many weeks here stuck with Sanosuke and Kenshin." I whispered to myself.
"Hello," Kenshin said and sat beside me on the sand.
I turned to him and looked at the beach, blushing slightly. "Hello..."
"Are you here to watch some scenes in the show?" Kenshin asked.
"No... I just passed by." I whispered.
Kenshin's smile widened. "You're wearing the necklace."
I was surprised.
When did I wear the necklace? I don't remember!
"Uh... It's because it's a gift. I must wear it to show my appreciation." I murmured.
"Huh? Kaoru-chan?" the actress exclaimed and went towards me.
Now I remember!
"Shu-chan!" I exclaimed and went towards her.
"It's been a long time, ne, Kaoru-chan?" Shura asked.
I smiled. "Yep. How's your new school?" I asked.
"Oh. It's fine. I can see you and Kenshin are friends now. You forgot about the Grade 6 incident?" Shura asked.
I laughed nervously. "Uh... I didn't expect you to be an actress!" I exclaimed.
I tried to avoid her question.
Weeks passed.
We did nothing but eat, sleep, swim, eat, swim, play poker, sleep. But it was fun!
One day...
I grabbed a pail and started picking up some shells. It was a nice afternoon, and it was breezy.
Nothing can go wrong.
I looked at the beach again, my hair floating with the wind.
Suddenly, I felt a bit strange.
My body seemed so weak and my eyes are getting...blurry....
I began to feel frightened. "Am I...going to be blind...now?" I thought to myself.
My body was weak and my eyes were going black.
...I fainted...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
I opened my eyes slowly.
I looked around and saw that I was in the hotel room.
I saw Sanosuke staring at me worriedly.
It's good that I'm not yet blind. I could see the person I want to be with...but who's the other one whom I want to be with forever?
"Are you okay, Kaoru?" Sanosuke asked, touching my cheeks gently.
I smiled. "Ah...."
"Huh?" Sanosuke asked.
My mouth was opened and I wanted to say something. But I can't say anything! No voice at all!
I'm getting blind, my body's weak all over and now I'm mute?!
I covered my eyes with my hands and started crying.
"What's the matter, Kaoru? Tell me!" Sanosuke exclaimed.
I saw a paper and pen at the corner of my eye. I grabbed it.
I slowly wrote something that startled Sanosuke.
"I'M...MUTE. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING..."
Sanosuke gasped. "I'll tell your kaasan and tousan!" he exclaimed and went out of the room.
I started crying again and I felt a cold feeling near my neck. It was the necklace.
The more I cried when I thought about Kenshin.
"Kaoru-chan!!!" Okaasan shouted and hugged me tightly. "Is it true that you're mute now?"
I nodded.
"I'm so sorry Kaoru-chan... I didn't know I've exposed you to that kind of unknown illness!" Okaasan exclaimed and cried on my arms.
"Stop crying..." Otousan whispered.
Sanosuke watched us from afar.
I wrote something on the paper again.
"DON'T WORRY, OKAASAN, OTOUSAN! I'M SO OK."
Okaasan and otousan read it and okaasan cried more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
It was night. I slowly got up from my bed and went towards the door.
I went out of the hotel and strolled in the beach again, feeling the cool breeze.
"Kaoru... We have to talk." Kenshin said suddenly and grabbed my arm.
I tried to resist and I tried to say "hey" but I was weak.
"Why did you become mute? Do you know the reason?" Kenshin asked.
I shook my head. I wrote something on the paper that I brought with me.
"MAYBE BECAUSE...I WAS TOO AFRAID TO BE BLIND FOREVER."
"Why are you afraid? At least you're still alive." Kenshin said and touched my cheeks. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead.
"I WANT TO LOVE FOREVER... BUT I CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THE ONES WHOM I LOVE IF I GO BLIND..."
(Music cue: Dreams Creation midi from Chrono Cross)
I stared at Kenshin's lavender eyes while he was reading my note. I won't see him...I won't see my family...everything...
Kenshin snatched away the paper from me.
I gasped and was beginning to be afraid again.
This is not the Kenshin I knew.
"I don't care if you're blind or mute... As long as you're here and you love me back...I won't let you lose your hope to love." Kenshin said and stared at me seriously.
My eyes filled with tears again.
"Don't you love me, Kaoru? Is it only Sanosuke whom your eyes are set on?" Kenshin asked, shaking me while holding at my shoulder.
I looked at him seriously and felt tears stream down my cheeks.
"Kaoru... I love you...Can't you love me back?" Kenshin whispered.
I glared at him while crying.
"Leave her alone."
I looked back and saw Sanosuke.
"Who cares if Kaoru doesn't love you back? What matters is that she deeply loves someone else now but you." Sanosuke said, glaring at Kenshin.
"Don't interrupt, Sanosuke. What's wrong if I ask Kaoru that question?" Kenshin asked seriously too, his eyes beginning to be amber.
I was terrified on what would happen. I tried to stop them, but I can't speak.
"She's my fiancée and I have the right to protect her from your unimportant questions." Sanosuke exclaimed.
I looked at Kenshin. He seemed so clam.
Suddenly, Kenshin punched Sanosuke and grabbed Sano's collar.
Calm?
I ran towards them, trying to stop them.
Sanosuke gritted his teeth and punched Kenshin back.
Kenshin was about to punch Sanosuke again.
"YAME NASAI!!!!!!"
Kenshin and Sanosuke's eyes widened and looked at me.
I could speak now... It was strong determination that helped me to speak once again.
I pushed away Kenshin hand from Sanosuke's collar.
"What's happening to you, Kenshin? You're not the Kenshin I knew!" I exclaimed.
Kenshin stared at me seriously.
"Don't you know that Sanosuke has no power against you?! Why are you doing this?!" I shouted, and felt my tears again.
"I didn't think that you would do such thing to me and Sanosuke..." I whispered and went away with Sanosuke.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
Sanosuke nodded.
We walked away fast from Kenshin.
Kenshin stared at us. "What should I do...to get you, Kamiya Kaoru?" he whispered.
One day passed...
We went towards Tokyo again. It was good to be back home!
...not to mention have my voice back...
I went out of the car. "I'll be right back!" I exclaimed and ran towards the Sakura trees road.
"You keep an eye on her, Sano-kun." Okaasan said.
Sanosuke said. "You can trust me." Sanosuke said and walked after me.
I looked at the trees... Spring was nearing...
I'm going to be in my 3rd year class room!
Sanosuke chuckled. "You're so excited again."
I smiled sadly. "Honto...?"
Sanosuke hugged me suddenly. "You are my life... Don't go away from me." Sanosuke whispered, thinking about the incident with Kenshin.
I was speechless, and turned to face him. I touched Sanosuke's cheeks.
Deep inside me, I felt I was wrong when I shouted at Kenshin...
What should I do?

Author's notes: Pretty long? Forgive me! Anyways, I'm not going to write "Love in Autumn" yet.
I'm going to replace Onegai, Bishoujo with another story 'cause I don't know what's going to happen next! I'm going to name it as... "Love Game". Bye! ^_^
