For all you Saitoh fans don't worry I love him but he is such an ass sometimes. you do have to admit.* cough * anyway.

Worthy of Her

Kenshin had now promised Sano that he would that night tell Kaoru that he loved her. He wondered how though, how could he tell her.

' How can I tell her that I love her? I love her so much but, how can I tell her? I know! I'll take her to the river where I said good-bye to her and I will let it all out! It's perfect! Now where is the laundry.'

Kenshin had decided till dinner he would do the laundry, it always does relax him.
Sano was excited! He couldn't wait for Missy to come back as a happy girl as she should be. ' Finally! Missy to me is like a little sister. All I want for her is to be happy. I'll kick Kenshin's ass if he screws this up.'

Megumi had shown up when Kenshin and Sano were back. She had seen through Sano and knew that he wanted Kaoru and Kenshin to get together.
" So, how'd you get through Kenshin that Kaoru is the one for him? Did it work?"
Before Sano answered, Kaoru was coming around the corner when she heard Megumi's question. She stopped and tried to listen.
" Fox! I didn't know that you were here. Well I did talk to him and he will tell her tonight or sometime today. I said that if he didn't I'd kick his ass."
Kaoru was happy yet, destroyed. Kaoru thought that the whole thing was a bet between Kenshin and Sano. Her heart was broken.

' What!? Kenshin will tell me that he loves me just because he doesn't want Sano to kick his ass? How could Kenshin do this to me! Men! They are all jerks!'

Kaoru started running, as fast as she could, tears running down her fast. " What? Dammit! Missy heard our conversation! But why is she mad or sad! Oh no! We have to go after her.Missy! COME BACK!!!!"
Sano and Megumi started to run after her when Kenshin appeared. " Kaoru-dono? What's wrong?"
Kaoru stopped running and stared Kenshin in the eye. " You think this is funny? Making a bet like this? Pretending that you love me? Well it's not! You don't treat someone like this! How could you! I thought that maybe you did love me, but turns out that I was wrong! Good- bye Kenshin!"
Megumi stopped Sano from running after Kaoru when Kaoru took off running out the gate and towards the forest. " She and Kenshin had to figure this one out." " Kaoru-dono? Kaoru come back!! It's not this way!! I do! I really do love you!" Kaoru didn't hear him and kept on running. Her tears mark a trail on the ground. Kenshin started after her. He didn't understand.
' What the hell? Kaoru.don't you see that I do love you with all of my heart?' Kenshin had never seen Kaoru run so fast! And the fact that she was wearing a kimono! He tried to keep up but soon lost track of her. She had gone into the forest, that he knew for sure. Since there was so many trees she could be hiding anywhere from his sight.
" Kaoru! Kaoru! Where are you? If you can hear me please, please come out! I beg you!" Kenshin heard a shuffle of leaves, she was hiding from him.
' Yes! She is here.even if I can't see her, she can hear me!' " Kaoru, I know that you are there so I will just talk and explain and you can listen." ' Here I go.'

" Kaoru, I did not make a bet with Sano, you misunderstood. I would never ever do that to you. You are too important to me to hurt your feelings, trust me. Sano did talk to me today and asked me why I have never told you that I loved you? I was afraid. For the first time I was afraid.
See, I was scared that you might reject me because I cause you danger, or I am just too damn old and you wanted someone younger. But the truth is,.ok.I can do this." Kenshin took a deep breathe. " I have a confession. I do love you with all my heart! You are the sun and I can't live without you! Since the first time I saw you I knew that in the future something would happen between us. When you look at me, I melt and I freeze. Your eyes surround me with happiness and I forget my past. I love you Kaoru! I love you!"
Kenshin felt so relived that he said that. A big, no, a huge burden came off of his mind. All he was afraid of was Kaoru's answer.
Kaoru then stepped from the tree she was hiding behind and walked toward Kenshin. She spoke.
" Is this true Kenshin? Do you really love me like you say? Am I really the sun and you can't live without me?"
"Yes, it's all true. Words can't express how much I love you." A smile appeared on Kaoru's face; tears appeared from her eyes.
" Well, if I am the sun, then you are the moon, because I can't live without you either! I love you too Kenshin!" Kaoru threw her arms around Kenshin neck and started sobbing into his neck. Kenshin returned the hug by putting his hands around her waist.
The hug lasted for a couple minutes when Kenshin knew that sunset was coming. He never wanted to let go of her fragile body, but he did.
" I have something to show you, follow me." Kaoru looked up at him confused and then he took her hand and led her through the forest to what seemed like a hill. They walked up and Kaoru gasped at what she saw.
Kenshin led her to see the sunset on a hill, but it was the most beautiful sunset that Kaoru had ever seen. The rays of the sun slowly disappearing. Kenshin and Kaoru sat down on the grass and watched in silence, Kenshin's arms around her shoulders while she leaned on his chest. Once they were one their way back to the dojo.Kaoru had been thinking.
" Hey Kenshin, why did Sano say that he would kick your ass if you didn't tell me that you loved me?"
Kenshin was shocked that Kaoru actually sweared and the fact that Sano said that.
" He would have done a lot more than that if I never told you that I loved you. He just wanted you and I happy. Oh, so that's why you thought it was a bet?"
" Yes." " Kaoru! You should have known that I would get beat up by Sano than to hurt your feelings!" Kenshin started laughing.
" Hey! This isn't a laughing matter!" She too started laughing. She then stopped walking and stared up at Kenshin's eyes, he looked into hers. Kenshin badly wanted to kiss her.
" So, how should we surprise everyone that we confessed our love? I kind of want to surprise them then to tell them. maybe."
Kenshin was cut off by Kaoru's lips on his. He was surprised but he loved Kaoru's taste. (AN: For a guy who hasn't been kissed in, like, 10 years, you'd think that he would want to freshen up on the taste of a woman!) The kiss got deeper and deeper and was very passionate. Kenshin and Kaoru never wanted it to end but soon they did have to breathe. (Another AN: Just to let you know, I have never been kissed on the lips before so I don't know how it is like or how I knew this info on a kiss. I haven't even been kissed on the cheek before!!!) " Wow, Kaoru, I didn't know that you knew how to kiss so well." " Well, I just went with you, it was a great first kiss." Kaoru started giggling.
" As I was saying, we could surprise everyone that we love each other with a kiss. It will be a shock to them."
" Great idea! Plus I want to kiss you some more." " Being brave huh?"
"Ya, since I am here with. I am never scared when you are by my side, and if they say that it was a stupid surprise, I can blame it on you." "Great, but I'll do anything for you." They were again in a lip lock for minutes when they both started laughing in the middle! They both were laughing on how they were kissing with their eyes open and they were so happy to be in love. When they were close to the dojo Kenshin whispered his plan into Kaoru's ear.
" Ok, when we are close to the gate you look and make sure that everyone is close to the gate but can't see it. When that has happened you scream and everyone will come to the gate and find us kissing. Is that a good plan to you?'
" A wonderful plan darling. I'll go look by the gate." Kaoru looked and then nodded her head. She walked back to where Kenshin was standing and screamed so everyone could hear. They heard a shuffling of feet then Kenshin took Kaoru into his arms and kissed her very deep.
They stopped their kiss and looked toward the gate and everyone was in shock! Their eyes were wide and their mouths dropped open as far as they could go. Sano and Megumi were in awe and so was Yahiko!
Sano was pissed, " Hey! You guys should have told us that you two confessed your love instead of surprising us! I bet you guys did that on purpose!"
Megumi and Yahiko started laughing and laughing and then Sano started laughing and then the couple started laughing. (AN: I think everyone was high on sugar.)
