Worthy of Her
Chapter 6
The music started and Kaoru, next to Hiko, walked down the isle. Kenshin eyes first spotted Hiko. He almost fell over as the thought of Hiko being her father. But, he was old enough to be. Kenshin shook his head slightly and looked to the most beautiful girl next to Hiko.
' Wow. Is that Kaoru? She is so beautiful; beautiful doesn't even come close! She has matured so much since I first met her. In her body, and soul. I still can't believe that I had been given the chance to start a life with her.'
Kaoru looked at the tiny crowd for an audience. Then looked as her best friends smiling at her. She gazed over to Kenshin and smiled. She gave a tiny giggle as she saw him gazing at her dress. He also smiled at her. She thought he looked so cute in his western tux.
As Kaoru reached her place next to Kenshin, and Hiko walked over to his seat in the audience, their wedding began.
After the priest talked and talked and vows were made. Yahiko walked over to the couple so they could have the rings. Kenshin picked up his ring for Kaoru.
The ring had a beautiful sapphire with a diamond on each side. Once the ring was on Kaoru's ring finger, her eyes widened on how beautiful her ring was. After Kenshin said the vow Kaoru picked up her ring for him. It was a gold ring with carved designs in it. Then she put that ring on Kenshin's ring finger and said her vow to him.
Then those magic words from the priest came, " You are now husband and wife," he looked over to Kenshin, " You may now kiss the bride."
Everyone started clapping and Kenshin stepped over to his wife, put the veil that covered her face over her head, put his hand up to her chin and kissed her. Kaoru kissed him back and put her arms around his neck. After the kiss ended, a happy Mr. and Mrs. Himura looked at everyone. They were all standing on their feet and cheering.
Since the reception was held in the same room, Tae had moved all the chairs to the wall for everyone to sit once Kenshin and other people spoke about their marriage.
The priest had left to go to another marriage and everyone was talking to one another and eating food.
Kenshin and Kaoru sat down in extra chairs hand-in-hand drinking sake. They spoke no words, but just smiled and looked at everyone around them. They looked at Misao and Aoshi. Misao was talking to him, then she stopped. She stared into his eyes, then put her head down and sighed. She walked over to a chair, and pulled it over to Aoshi. She stood on the chair, put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Kenshin and Kaoru gasped and started laughing as Aoshi pulled her off the chair and kissed her back! Kenshin pulled his wife onto his lap at that moment and they both looked over at Sano and Megumi. Sano was fussing over his bandaged wrapped hand. Somehow, he had hurt it again. Megumi was also trying to examine his hand but, of course, Sano was trying to get away from her. Then Megumi finally grabbed a hold of his other hand and pulled him near to her. Sano stayed still and stared at Megumi as she looked at his hand. There was smile on his face. Megumi's face turned up to look at his. They gazed at each other. Kaoru started giggling and turned her face towards Kenshin, " Looks like everyone is starting to be in love. Sano is going to kiss Megumi. I know it!" " Your right my Kaoru. Sano just did right now." He edged his face to look somewhere else. " And so has Yahiko!" Kaoru turned her face quickly, " Yahiko has kissed Megumi?" " No! Yahiko has just kissed Tsubame!" " Oh. How cute. Yahiko just had his first kiss. And he is only 11! I didn't have my first kiss till I was 18! That's all your fault Kenshin." She turned her face to his. " Oro! Why mine?" He looked so confused. " Because you had so many chances to kiss me when I was 17, but no. You waited and waited and then Enishi happened and now I am 18 and then I had my first kiss. But I am glad that it was with you!" Kaoru put her arms around his neck and kissed her husband. Kenshin smiled and returned her kiss.
" Excuse me everyone!" Hiko yelled to get everybody's attention. Everybody looked his way. Hiko walked in front of the people and looked toward Kenshin and Kaoru. Kaoru got embarrassed and got off Kenshin's lap and onto the seat next to him. Hiko continued, " I am very pleased and happy with Kenshin and Kaoru's marriage. It is so good to see that my stupid apprentice has found the right girl. It seems only yesterday when I found the poor kid. Everyone around him was dead. He should be thanking me. But I don't even get to be the best man!" Everyone chuckled.
" Instead I get the greatest honor of walking the bride down the isle." Hiko looked towards Kenshin, " Hey Kenshin, I bet you can't wait for tonight!" Kenshin turned red as everyone laughed, " Hiko!" Kenshin whispered trying to tell him to shut up. Kaoru just laughed at Kenshin.
Kenshin got up and went next to Hiko. Hiko chuckled and left to watch Kenshin talk in front about his marriage. Kenshin took a deep breath and began, " Your right Hiko. I can't wait for tonight. But not the way you're thinking! I can't wait because it will be the first night that I will share with my wife." Everyone awed. " I am very happy and thankful that I can share the rest of my life with this special person. Kamiya Kaoru. Actually, Himura Kaoru now.
My past has been dreadful as you all know, but all I remember after my first wife died," Kaoru got up and walked next to Kenshin, " everything was in black and white. But the moment I saw Kaoru for the first time I saw color. Only a tiny bit though. The more I stayed with Kaoru, the more color filled in. I hadn't seen the color for ten years, that's how I truly knew Kaoru was the one for me." Everyone clapped and those who sat on chairs stood up. Kaoru put her arms around Kenshin's neck and kissed him.
~ That night
Everyone left the dojo to give the couple some peace. Tae took care of Yahiko and Sano went back to his row house. Kenshin and Kaoru got out of their wedding clothes and put on their yukatas for bed. Though they weren't in bed yet, they were outside lying on the grass. There was a tiny wind so Kenshin held his wife close. Kaoru spoke, " Kenshin, that was really beautiful what you said earlier."
Kenshin smiled, "It was all true love. It was all true..." Kenshin sighed.
" What's wrong?" Kaoru got half of her body up and laid on Kenshin's chest so she could look at his face.
"Nothing. It's just once I became a wanderer, I thought that I would be a wanderer for the rest of my life. I never imagined getting the chance to marry again. Not after I killed To..."
Kaoru put two fingers over his lips, " Kenshin. It's all the past. I know that you truly didn't mean to kill her. Tomoe would have wanted you live happily. That's why she finished your scar. She wanted you to always have a piece of her while you move on." Kaoru sighed and tried to avoid looking directly into Kenshin's eyes, " She forgave you. Now she is very happy in heaven, with her finance. Don't blame yourself for the past."
" Thank you Kaoru. That meant a lot. I love you so much." Kenshin brought her head down and sweetly kissed her.
Kaoru had one more question, " Um, Kenshin? What was your dream this morning?"
Kenshin laughed and told her, " Well, my dream was that I was in the forest looking for you. You know, the day I told you I loved you. And well, I was saying why I loved and that I did and bla bla bla, but then, instead of you coming out to say I love you too, it was a black rabbit!" Kaoru giggled and Kenshin went on, " and then it turned into you and you slapped me! And you said that you didn't want someone 10 years older than you were. Then you walked away."
Kaoru's mouth was open and she stared down at Kenshin, " Oh my god Kenshin! How sad! That's why you were saying that you were old! You do know that I don't care about our age difference right?'
Kenshin nodded. After looking at the stars once more, Kenshin and Kaoru stood up. Kenshn looked at Kaoru and then swooped her in the air.
" Kenshin! What are you doing?" Kaoru asked in his arms.
" Well, I have a question."
"Yes?"
Kenshin began by looking into her eyes, " Do you want kids darling?"
Kaoru giggled, " But we have barely been married for a day yet!?
" So?"
" Ok! Let's start a family Kenshin, the Himura family."
THE END AN: I am dearly sorry that I didn't get this up any sooner!!! I have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy!! Thank you so much for your patience! O! And Ari and Kat...I will read your stories sometime soon...I promise!!! Bye everyone!
