weekend. I've been really busy with school and everything, so please enjoy
the next chapter. I can't update a whole lot. ~

Chapter Fifteen: Stay Forever This Way

Kaoru woke early the next morning to see that Kenshin was still with her. She smiled at him. He had fallen asleep leaning against the wall. Slowly she went over to him and brushed her hands through his fire red hair with a laugh. He stirred slightly in his sleep and mumbled.
She leaned closer. She could just make out a few mumbled words.
"But I....do....Kaoru....I do love you.....My Kaoru...." he said. The warmth in his voice made Kaoru's heart melt and she hugged him tightly waking him up in the process.
"Oro?" He said looking sleepily around him before returning Kaoru's hug.
"You were dreaming, weren't you Kenshin?" Kaoru asked.
Kenshin nodded and kissed her softly. "I should probably go make breakfast, that I should."
Kaoru pulled him back as he turned to leave. "What did you dream of Kenshin?" She asked curious.
For some reason Kenshin blushed. "It was nothing, just a happy dream."
"Oh really. Are you sure that you weren't dreaming about me perhaps?" Kaoru teased.
Kenshin blushed harder and walked out of the room to the kitchen.
Kaoru approached Kenshin later after breakfast when they could find a moment alone.
"Umm...You said we could talk about the marriage arrangements today. I think it's a good idea to start today." She said nervously. She didn't want to push him or anything.
"Ok. Miss Kaoru." He said a bright smile on his face.
"Ummm. Kenshin..Do you know how to plan a wedding?" Kaoru asked, turning slightly red.
"Oro? I thought that you knew.." Kenshin began, but Kaoru interrupted.
"How am I supposed to know?! It's not like I've even been married before or anything!!!!!!" Kaoru said getting annoyed.
"Oro! I am sorry, Kaoru. I did not mean to assume anything or offend you." Kenshin said trying to calm her down.
Kaoru looked at him strangely for a second.
"What is it?" Kenshin asked confused.
"Did you just call me Kaoru?" she asked slowly.
"Is that not your name, Miss Kaoru?" he asked not understanding her meaning.
"You called me just Kaoru, without the 'Miss'"
"Oh, I am very sorry, Miss Kaoru. Very Sorry." Kenshin said repeatedly.
Kaoru sighed. "I want you to call me that."
"Oh. I will, Miss- err..I will Kaoru." Kenshin said. "I guess that I got so used to calling you Kaoru in my head that it slipped out."
"But that still doesn't solve our problem. We both don't know how to plan a wedding. We have to find someone who does." Kaoru said getting annoyed again.
Kenshin looked thoughtful. "Maybe Miss Tae would know something about planning weddings. She was always very good about these sort of things."
Kaoru brightened instantly. "That's a great idea, Kenshin! I'll go visit her today. I've been meaning to go visit her anyway. Thanks!" She said as she hugged him, planted a kiss on his cheek and ran out the door.
Kenshin looked after her and sighed. He had been hoping to spend the day with her, but it looked like they would be too busy today.
Kaoru walked out of the dojo and down the road towards the Akabeko. She walked inside and looked for Tae. She was serving an older gentleman. Quickly Kaoru made her way over to her.
"Hello, Kaoru. What brings you here today and where is Kenshin? He's usually always hanging around you." Tae said friendly.
Kaoru grabbed her arm and pulled her into the back room.
"I need to talk to you and it's really urgent. Are you too busy?" Kaoru asked.
Tae shook her head. "No, go ahead. What is so urgent?"
Kaoru sat down in a chair and motioned for her to sit next to her. "You see Kenshin asked me to marry him."
Tae grinned happily. "So he finally did it?! I'm glad for you Kaoru. I know you must be so happy!"
Kaoru sighed and continued. "Yeah, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me, but there's more to tell."
Tae looked surprised. "More? What other news could possible compare to Kenshin's proposal?"
A faint blush covered Kaoru's cheeks. "Well.You see. I don't really know how to tell you this, but.um..I'm ...sort of..pregnant too."
Tae gasped. "You..mean...you and Sir Ken..?"
Kaoru nodded her face turning red. "Anyway, we were thinking of having the wedding soon, but the only thing is that neither of us know how to plan a wedding."
A determined look covered Tae's face. "Don't worry, Miss Kaoru! I will take care of it all. I will make sure you have the best wedding ever!"
