Chapter 9: Kenshin and Kaoru
'It's nothing like that...' Kenshin said silently to himself watching in horror, as Kaoru walked away. He seems to be frozen in place, at that moment. 'She was mad at me... I made her mad... Now what will happen...' he thought sadly, staring in place.
***
'He still sees me as a little child. I was right all along.' Kaoru thought furiously, shutting the door of her bedroom with a snap. She lied on her soft bed staring at the ceiling.
'I was right. He really saw me as a little girl.' she thought again. 'Kenshin-no-BAKA!!!!! You don't know how it hurts me! You never really cared for as somebody special! You cared for me because you see me as a little baby. You still see me as a helpless and weak little girl! The one who always needs you're protection!' she rolled on her bed and began to cry on her pillow.
'He's always like that!' she mumbled. 'At least Enishi sees me as a woman not just a little girl like Kenshin does!' at that she let all her tears flows like a thunderstorm in her eyes.
***
Kenshin started walking to where his feet will take him. Not knowing what to do, to follow Kaoru or to kill the crap out of that Enishi.
That Enishi. He doesn't know but... there's something malicious... an evil glint in his eye. He may seem nice when Kaoru is looking but something's dark in his eyes... Like he's planning something bad...
'I would never let him hurt my Kaoru...' Kenshin thought determinedly as he stopped walking. He was now on this place. The riverside where fireflies shines the night rarely, maybe once a year. This was actually one of his most favorite places in Tokyo. This just brings back lots of memories to him. Especially of...
-Flashback-
"I knew I'll find you here." a little boy about 8 years of age said sitting beside a crying little girl in the shade of a huge sakur tree.
"Tell me that everything is a joke." the little girl turned her tear-streamed face to the little boy. "You're not going right? Tell me, you're not going. You're not going to leave me here. Tell me it's just a joke."
"I wish it's nothing but a joke, though. Sessha doesn't wish to leave his bestfriend here. Sessha doesn't want to make his Kaoru-chan cry." the little boy said putting an arm on his crying friend.
"Then stay here with me." the six-year old Kaoru said in a whisper. "Don't leave me. Onegai."
"Sessha wish that he could do that... demo... otousan wants sessha to go with him... gomen-nasai... Kaoru-chan... Sessha..."
"I hate you're father!!! He always do this to you, Kenshin! He always force you on doing all the things he wants you to do! He's like that! I hate him!!!"
"Maa...maa... Kaoru-chan... don't be, Sessha knows otousan have his reasons." little Kenshin patted little Kaoru's back. "Don't cry, onegai. Sessha doesn't want to see you like this."
"Sessha... Sessha!!! That's all that I hear from you!!! You're always afraid to do those things that you want to do!!! You're always like that!!!! You never say what you wanted to say to your father! All that you always do is sessha this... sessha that..." little Kaoru said mimicking Kenshin. "That's all you did!!! You never let them know how you feels!!! You are coward... an idiot... BAKA!!!! I HATE YOU!!!" little Kaoru yelled before running away leaving Kenshin just watch her go in horror.
-end of Flashback-
That was the first time that she got mad at me. Kenshin thought sadly sitting below the old and huge sakura tree. And it's happening again.
'She's right all along I'm a coward.' Kenshin sighed. 'An idiot, a coward. I'm still like that. I'm afraid to say what I feel, to do what I want to do, to have what I wanted to have. And now she is really mad at me. And all I can do is sit here because I'm afraid to hear and to see that she's mad at me.'
He sighed again and smiled sadly, watching the sun set. "At least she have forgiven him before. And that takes a couple of weeks. She never talked to me until that day... that day... I've given her my necklace and I have left, making her cry again. But now... I don't know if she'll talk to me again." he whispered sadly. "And is all happening because I'm afraid to lose our friendship... which is now starting to get worse."

"Have you seen Kaoru?" Misao asked seeing Sayo in the library.
"Eh? No. She's with you, right?" Sayo said.
"Yeah, and then I fought a little with Sano and when we stopped arguing, Kenshin and Kaoru are gone." Misao said sitting beside Sayo. "Maybe she already went home without me."
"Yeah, besides it's already late." Sayo said. "Why are you still here, if you don't mind me asking"
"Me? Well, you know..." Misao said with a slight blush.
"Oh, I know." Sayo just smiled at her friend. "So, have you seen him?"
"No, not yet." Misao said, a little disppointed. "But, anyway, leave you here for a moment... you know..." she giggled before going away.
"She is really inlove with Aoshi. And I know he has something for her too, I just know." Sayo smiled at that and went back reading her thick chemistry book that she doesn't noticed him approaching.
"Hello there, sweetie." a certain tall guy in glasses said smirking at her making Sayo's eyes widen in shock.
