~*~ Another 10 Months~*~
Kenshin looked at the door to the dojo. Oh how he had missed this place. He wanted so much just to open the gate and go into the yard, to see Kaoru.
His hand drifted to the gate. Just as he was going to open it, the dojo door opened. He, wanting to surprise Kaoru alone, hid in a bush. He looked to see Sanosuke and Yahiko walking out. Sano had grown even taller, and he looked older (which he was, but u know what I mean.). He now wore a blue shirt and longer pants, unlike before. Kenshin noticed that the "Bad" symbol (wait, is it "Bad" or "Evil".?) still on the back of his shirt. Yahiko had also grown, now looking more like a Kendo samurai then he used to.
"Missy, we're going now, we'll be back next week alright?" Sano called into the dojo.
"Wait!" Kaoru's voice reached Kenshin's ears, then her footsteps. She appeared in the doorway.
Kenshin gasped and stared at her. She was more beautiful then he had remembered. Her hair hung loosely on her shoulders and she wore a red kimono, bringing out the color of her sapphire eyes. Kenshin's eyes looked over her. Her figure had grown as well (if you know what I mean.).
"Here's some lunch for later!" She handed them to bags of food. Reluctantly, they took the bags out of her hands.
"Is it poisoned?" Yahiko asked grinning.
Kaoru hit him on the head. "Yahiko!! I've been getting good at cooking!"
"You've got to admit, she is getting better." Sano agreed.
"Thank you Sano."
"Well, anyway, Yahiko, we should get going. See you later Missy!"
"Bye!" Yahiko waved. Kaoru waved back and watched them from the porch until they were out of sight. She sat down sighing. Just as Kenshin was about to come out of his hiding place, two more people came out the dojo doors.
"Kaoru." One of them said, she was a girl who looked to be Kaoru's age. Next to her was ma man, also looking to be that age. Kenshin remembered Sano's letter saying that Kaoru's old friends Kiara and Daren had been staying with them.
"What is it?" Neither of them said anything. Kaoru noticed that there were swords in their hands. Kenshin's eyes narrowed, they weren't going to try to kill Kaoru were they? Not while he was there.
"Y-you're not going to." Kaoru stumbled, the two nodded.
"Kaoru, we want to." Daren said.
"N-no! You can't. k-k-kill yourselves! I won't let you!"
"Kaoru, don't you remember what happen last week?"
Kaoru's eyes leaked with tears. "OF COURSE I DO, but." she fell to her knees. Kiara and Darren ran to her.
Kiara knelt down and put her arms around Kaoru. "My husband and Daren's wife were killed, we can't live without them. we love them too much." Kaoru placed her hands over her eyes to try and stop her tears.
"I have nothing then. I'll be alone. Sano and Yahiko come only once a week now. I'll follow you then." she sobbed. Kenshin's eyes widened. She couldn't!
"No, we won't let you!" Daren yelled.
"I will!"
"Kaoru, you have to live!"
"For what?!"
"For everyone." Kiara began. "For us, for Sano, for Yahiko, for your parents, for that man you are waiting for, for your brother."
Kaoru pulled away from her friend. "My. brother? Rei. but he." she didn't finish that sentence, instead she skipped it. "K-Kenshin." Kenshin heard her speak his name. He wanted her to know he was there.
"All of them would want you to live."
"I. I know."
"Then you won't follow us?" Daren asked.
"No." Kiara hugged her. Daren did the same.
"Thank you for everything Kaoru. We'll miss you. Keep waiting for that man of yours."
Kaoru turned away and heard slices, when she turned back, there were two limp, bloody bodies lying there. More tears streamed down her cheeks. She started to run, not caring where. She passed by Kenshin's hiding spot and ran into the woods, but tripped and fell to the ground. She just lied there crying.
Kenshin, seeing his opportunity, walked behind her. He brought her up and hugged her tightly. "It's getting late, that it is."
"K-Kenshin?!" she turned to stare up at his violet eyes. "Kenshin, it really is you!" She cried pulling him into another embrace. "I was beginning to think you'd never come back to me!" She leaned into him.
"You have had a horrible night, I say. Maybe you should get some sleep."
"Kenshin."
"Yes?"
"I'm glad you came back to me. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you too."
"I'm glad as well, that I am. But it is very dark out, we should get back to the dojo." He picked her up so that she was safely in his arms and carried her to the dojo.
He reached her room and laid her down gently. He looked down to her beautiful eyes.
He couldn't hold himself back, as he leaned in kissing her. She returned the kiss. (AN: you can all guess what happens next, but this is not a lemon, so NO DETAILS!)
In the next chapter, you'll find out about Kaoru's brother who I made up. So, read on!
