Chapter Seven
It was later on that night that Kenshin watched out the window as rain trickled down from the dark and eerie sky. He sighed, rubbed his temple and turned to his wife, who sat crying on her bed.
"Now now. . . Koishi!!! Don't cry. Kenji just had an outburst of emotion, is all," he said, trying to sooth her. But he almost groaned when it didn't and thunder was heard overhead.
Kaoru looked at Kenshin. "Do you. . . Think we raised him right???" she sobbed.
Kenshin smiled, "Koishi, I think you're overreacting. It's true, Kenji has always been the top of his class, very polite, a little stubborn, but kind and gentle!!! But everybody makes mistakes and it's ok to make mistakes, ne?. . ."
Battousai grunted inside Kenshin's head. Still there, Kenshin knew he was, but a little more quiet then he used to be. But recently, Battousai started talking up more and more.
'Yah right. . .Making a mistake is the worst thing you could do!!! Duhhh. . .' he said.
Rurouni frowned, 'Nobody asked you, de gozaru yo.'
'Hn.'
Kenshin plastered his smile back onto his face, trying his best to ignore the two, and rubbed Kaoru's back, "Don't worry Koishi!!! I'm sure that Kenji realizes his mistake, that fighting is not the answer and that talking it out works best. Isn't that what we've told him all his fifteen years?"
Kaoru buried her face into her knees. Kenshin heard a little, "Uh huh. . ."
Kenshin chuckled, "Then I'm sure Kenji won't do it again! We've got to make him understand that even though you're having another baby, he's still our little man, right?" Kenshin wondered though, "I think he got those moves he pulled on that American kid from Sano. . ."
Kaoru smiled and looked up at him. She laughed, saying, "Remember when Kenji was only three years old and he stole your sakabato and used it to bang Sano up?"
Kenshin chuckled a bit, but then the last part of that memory hit him. "That was the last time I ever let Kenji even see my sakabato. . ." he said, nearly in a whisper.
Kaoru let her smile grow weak. She plunged herself into Kenshin's strong arms. "Oh Kenshin! It's just so sad that Kenji has to go through with this!!! I wish he didn't. . ." she cried.
Kenshin stroked her hair, "Would you have a different husband?" he asked.
Kaoru looked up at Kenshin and shook her head really really fast, "I'd never want a different husband then you!!!"
Kenshin smiled, and suddenly got an urge. He took Kaoru's hand and stood up in the center of the room, "Remember ten years ago when we went to that big party Katsura put on?"
Kaoru blushed, remembering. "Yes. . . I remember. . ." She cried out in delight when Kenshin pulled her into his arms once more.
"Might I have this dance?" Kenshin asked, huskily. He watched, very very amused as Kaoru smiled. The rain though, continued to pour, but Kenshin turned on the swing music to get it out of his head.
Battousai grinned at this moment and Rurouni frowned, 'Why are you taking over NOW??? You haven't taken over in. . .' he thought for a moment, 'A few months!!!' he blushed remembering the night.
Battousai laughed and said, "Well, I'm feelin' good tonight!! And nobody's gonna stop me!!!'
'ORO!'
Kenshin and Kaoru did dancing moves they hadn't done in a long long time. Kenshin twirled Kaoru around, picked her up even at one point, and they continued the beautiful swing dance.
From the door, Kenji watched his parents dance. He didn't remember ever seeing them like this before. He smiled.
The dance ended with Kenshin bowing over Kaoru and kissing her passionately. He swooped her back up and let her sit on the bed. They both gasped for air.
Kaoru smiled. "I haven't danced like that in years!!!" she rubbed her tummy. "Probably not good to do it again though. . . Now my tummy feels queasy. . ."
That was when it dawned on Kenshin. He had completely forgotten all about the baby. "Oh koishi!!! I'm sorry!!! I shouldn't have danced you too hard, lay down and rest now!!!"
Kaoru laughed, "I'm fine, anata!!!"
"But. . ."
"No buts! Now let's get some sleep."
"Sure. . . Koishi. . ."
"Stop that Kenshin!!!"
"ORO!"
Kenji decided he ought to leave. He headed back over to his room and pondered the day's events. What had made him get so angry? Why were his eyes amber??? Things were starting to make sense.
Kenji could only come to the conclusion that his father, Kenshin Himura, was the former Hitokiri Battousai.
To Be Continued. . .
