Chapter Eleven: So Close.....But Yet So Far Away ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenshin and Kaoru made their way inside the dojo being a silent as possible so as to not wake up Yahiko, who seemed to have gone to sleep. Kenshin walked her to her room, opening the door for her. She smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek as she walked past him and into her room. Kenshin stood in the doorway for a second, watching her, a small thought in his mind. He shook his head as he turned away and shut the door. He shouldn't be thinking about that.......
With a sigh, Kaoru changed into her sleeping robe and crawled under her covers. She tried to prepare herself for sleep, but she did not seem tired at all. How could she sleep knowing that soon Kenshin would be her husband?! Her thoughts turned to life married to him. Would they possible......have children? The thought made Kaoru a bit queasy, thinking of what came before all that.......sex. Now that had to be the thing that was making her nervous. Undoubtedly they would....but she was unsure of how to handle it....Whenever she thought of Kenshin that way it always made her wonder.....if he would think she was....good enough.
In actuality she had had many dreams and fantasies about her and Kenshin. Sometimes at night she would dream about it and wake up the next morning flushed and burning. Somehow she managed to suppress those feelings during the day when she saw him, but they always came back to her at night. She started to blush, just thinking about them, her cheeks turning a dark shade of red. She buried her face in her covers trying to get the images out of her head. It wasn't that she was embarrassed about having the fantasies. After all she was the only one who knew about them. No, the reason that she was embarrassed was that she enjoyed them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yukimura ran down the streets and up to the dojo. He knew that he would never be able to tell Kaoru to her face. In his hand, he clenched the letter he had written in his hand. It had taken him a long long time to come to a conclusion of how to tell her and this was what he had to do. Inside the letter explained it all....including...what had happened......what he had done....before....he had met her....all the horrible things. He felt that he needed to tell her about it. He needed someone to know. It had been killing him for so long and now that he had written it all down on paper it felt a lot better. He hadn't had the heart to tell her before. He knew that even if she didn't hate him for destroying her dojo, she would hate him after she read this letter, after she found out his secret.
The sun was already rising by the time he reached the dojo. Carefully he laid down the piece of paper where it would be visible when someone went outside next. Then he left, taking one last long look at the dojo. He knew what he had to do now....it was something he should have done a long time ago....ever since.....that day. He knew that he had to kill himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenshin woke up early the next morning. It was a beautiful morning, that it was. Even though the signs of an early winter could already be seen setting in, there was something about the day that just demanded for beauty and serenity. A cool chill beset him as he pulled on his old worn magenta gi, much happier than usual. Kenshin could feel such an enormous relief overtake him. He had finally told Kaoru that he loved her. Now he was getting married to her! He wondered for a second, as he finished pulling on his clothes, why she had chosen him. Why? It wasn't like he was anything special.
'Just an old wanderer with bloodstained hands.' He thought to himself as he peered down at his own two hands and clenched them softly.
'Oh come on! Your not that old.....and the past is the past.....that it is.' Kenshin thought again. He wasn't going to be sad today. No, today he was going to be happy, for Kaoru's sake. If she saw him sad she might think that he was having second thoughts about what he had asked her last night. He would not let that happen. He would have to do something special for her. What if he was to make her breakfast in bed? She would like that. He rushed off to get everything prepared.
Kaoru lay awake in her bed, the rays of morning light settling softly on her tranquil form. She was lost deep in her thoughts, wondering if the events of last night had actually happened. Could Kenshin have really proposed to her?!
There was a soft knock on the door disturbing the still quiet. Kaoru jumped slightly, startled out of her reverie.
"My Kaoru, are you awake?" Kaoru's heart fluttered at the sound of Kenshin's soft, warm voice. She smiled widely. So everything hadn't been a dream last night!
"Yes, Kenshin?" she called out, sitting up in her bed so that the covers slid down to her side.
The door slid open to reveal Kenshin, a tender smiled planted on his face and in his arms a tray. On the tray was what seemed to be a very fancy breakfast.
He looked absolutely handsome today. She almost couldn't handle it. Maybe it was in the way the light reflected so beautifully in his amethyst eyes, like pure crystal. Then again maybe it was the way his tresses of fire red hair fell down to frame his face like a veil against his pale skin. Kaoru did not know what it was that made her heart beat so fast at the sight of him. All she did know was that when she looked at him a comforting warmth spread across her, filling her with a gentle love.
Kenshin walked in and set the tray down next to her. "I brought you breakfast, that I did." He said watching her intently. She looked so beautiful this morning. Oh how he longed to reach out to touch her ebony black hair, to run his fingers through its smooth silkiness. The way that her seductive crystal blue eyes shone innocently like pools of captured moonlight was driving him insane. He resisted the urge to reach out to her by carefully setting the tray down next to her. His eyes strayed to her lovely figure, widening a little as he noticed how loose her sleeping robe was hanging. Kenshin immediately turned crimson and turned away.
Kaoru didn't notice his blush, but simply reached out and touched his hand softly.
"Thank you so much, Kenshin." She said quietly, resting her hand on top his. She smiled, her eyes shining, and her skin brushing softly against. Kenshin's heart melted as he looked into those eyes. They were those eyes that he loved so much, that held him captive, that made his heart race wildly and made his breath catch. He got lost in their depths once again, as he cupped her face in his hand and brought her closer against him. He could practically feel her heart beating against his as he rested his scarred cheek against her warm smooth one.
"It's only one small thing that I can do for the one I love." He said gently, caressing her soft pale cheek and planting a small kiss on her forehead.
Kaoru sighed and leaned against him, soaking in his warmth. She closed her eyes, enjoying every second that his skin touched hers. She didn't say anything, but held perfectly still against him, as though if she were to move he would stop.
Kenshin softly trailed kisses down her face and then over to her lips. He buried one hand in her raven locks, and with his other hand he pulled her forward so that his lips met with hers in a passionate kiss. Resisting the urge to deepen the kiss further, Kenshin slowly pulled away.
"Your breakfast is getting cold." He said quietly, his eyes still held prisoner by hers. It had been so hard for him to pull away that time. It had frightened him slightly, that he was losing his control. He didn't want to move to fast for her. He wanted her to be happy. His needs would come after hers.
Kaoru sighed and turned to the tray. He had spent all that time making it for her so she might as well eat it. She bit her lip. She didn't want breakfast right now. All she wanted.......was Kenshin. Why couldn't he realize that? Even after they had confessed their love, and now were engaged, he still was holding back. Why?
'Oh, Kenshin, why are you still so distant? If only I could tell you how much this space between us is hurting me.' She thought to herself as she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
~Ok. In the next chapter it will probably tell more about Yukimura's past and junk. You'll find out his secret....the one he's been hiding. And there will be more fluffiness....but I'm not sure what exactly since I haven't written it yet!!!~
