Chapter Six: A New Dawn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaoru felt her life slip away into the abyss of time and space. She was alone in the half darkness and the half light. She didn't understand what was happening. Then she saw a figure slowly coming towards her. It was her father. She ran towards him and threw her arms around him. He held her back. Then he pulled her away and looked her in the eye.
"Kaoru. I have something very important to tell you." he said.
Kaoru smiled at him. Her memories of Kenshin slipping away by the second.
"You must go back before you forget about Kenshin. You weren't meant to die yet. You have more life yet to live. A happier life. You must go away from me. You must run back into the darkness."
Kaoru smiled turned confused. Kenshin. That name. Was that person someone special to her? "I don't know what you are talking about. My life has always been with you daddy."
Her father's face grew angry. "Remember Kaoru. Remember the man you are meant to be with! Remember his face. Go now. Before it's too late!"
Memories of Kenshin flashed through her mind. How could she have forgotten about him! He was so special to her. He meant so much to her that she felt she would break apart inside. Slowly she turned away from her father. She needed to get back to Kenshin.
"I love you daddy." She whispered before she ran into the darkness.
Kaoru gasped as she breathed again, all the pain rushing back into her body. She opened her eyes to see that Kenshin was sobbing at her side. She jumped up. Kenshin, he thought she was dead.
Kenshin heard movement and he lifted his head to see Kaoru sitting up in bed. Could this be true? Could she really be still alive? Kenshin cried out in joy and scooped her up his arms again.
"You're alive. My Kaoru. You're ok." He said as he began to laugh with relief.
"I love you so much Kenshin." Kaoru said as she curled up against his chest, not caring that she was completely naked.
Kenshin lifted her face to his and began to kiss her. He kissed her everywhere his lips could reach till he was totally out of breath and his lips found hers again. He held her like that kissing her for the longest time, soaking up her every scent, every movement.
"I'm never leaving you again Kaoru, that I will not." He whispered as he ran his fingers through her hair.
She stared up at him smiling. "We can work through the hard times. I'm not afraid to try Kenshin. There is no life without risks after all." She said.
Kenshin smiled back at her. "I don't know how I could ever think I could live without you. But now the past doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I can or cannot because I'm going to be spending the rest of my life...............with you........."
~Happy Holidays everyone!! Looks like Kenshin got what he wanted for Christmas ^_^~
