Chapter 3 Confessions

"I won't be able to rest in piece until you confess to her." Kenshin nodded. Tomoe smiled. "Don't take to long! Cuz I'm gonna stay here 'till you do." "WHAT THE..." Kenshin heard footsteps, but it was too late. 'Oh shit' 'Oops' "Kenshin..."

Standing in the doorway was a very angry Kaoru. "Um... I can explain." Kaoru looked at him. "You bet your reverse blade you will." Said Kaoru, hands on her hips. "Uh, er, aa, well..." Kenshin squirmed. 'Wow, she can make him squirm, I could NEVER do that.' "OK, well, it's obviously something important, and what is she doing here? I thought she was dead." She eyed Tomoe suspiciously.

"Oh, this is all my fault! I just needed to talk to Kenshin about you..." Tomoe gasped and clapped her hands over her mouth. Kenshin buried his race in his hands. "Oh crud." "About me?" Kaoru said, turning desperately to Kenshin. "Hai Kaoru, we were talking about you." Kaoru blushed profusely. "What about me?" She said, turning towards Tomoe. "Um, don't ask me?" Tomoe said, shrugging and pointed towards Kenshin. "Ask him." Kaoru turned towards him expectantly.

He felt like his legs were made of lead and his mouth was supperglued shut. 'You can do it!' 'What the...' 'It's mee!' 'Battousai, not now.' 'What? You needed some encouragement!' 'Gods, I have gone nuts, first Tomoe, now you. I need to see a doctor.' 'Just do it! What have you got to lose.'

In one swift movement, Kenshin had swept Kaoru up into his arms, his lips pressed firmly against hers. He was surprised at himself. His body had just gone on auto-pilot. He was even more surprised when she returned the kiss. When they finally broke away for breath. Kaoru was staring at him. "Ah...well....THAT was what we were talking about."

Tomoe watched them with interest. 'Where's popcorn when you need it.' Kaoru was still staring at him. "Kenshin?" He didn't look at her. "Yes." "What are you saying?" 'Oh god.' "Kenshin met her eyes. "Kaoru, ai shitiru." She stared at him. Then burst into hysterical tears. "Kaoru! Oh m god, I'm sorry!" Kenshin exclaimed, running over to her. Kaoru threw herself into Kenshin's arms, still sobbing. She buried her face in his chest, her sobs slowing. "Kaoru? " She looked up at him. "I..." She put a finger to his lips. "Hush." She took a few calming breaths. "Kenshin I...ai shitiru too." He gave a start. "Really?" "Hai!" He smiled. She leaned up, and captured his lips with hers.

Tomoe sighed as she watched the couple in their passionate embrace. 'Its about time.'
