Unconditional Love
Chapter 3
Kaoru just stood there, looking at them coldly. She was wearing her training outfit, which were a white gi and a blue hakama. An uncomfortable silence covered the atmosphere and Kenshin just shifted in his seat. Finally, after what seemed an interminable moment, Kaoru spoke.
"Ryuki, who is he?" Kaoru asked in a cold tone. Kenshin felt like he was doused with a bucket of cold water and slapped hard in the face. He couldn't believe that his childhood love no longer remembered him. He wanted to travel back in time to change whatever brought Kaoru to a different person.
Kenshin rose and started to speak but Ryuki reached out her hand to touch Kenshin and shook her head.
Kaoru, this is Himura Kenshin who came from London to visit me. He is a really good friend. I hope you wouldn't mind his visit here in your manor," she replied, glancing at Kenshin, who widened his eyes at what Kaoru said next.
"I see. Do whatever you want," Kaoru said, turning on her heels without recognizing Kenshin. She didn't even greet Kenshin and gave no backward glance at him.
Kenshin was too shocked that he was staring at the spot where Kaoru stood. Ryuki placed her hand on his shoulder lending him support and comfort. She gave a sympathetic look at the young boy.
"I'm sorry. She can't remember who you are. You must understand that she in pain at the loss of her parents. I'm sure she will remember you in time,"she said softly.
Kenshin slumped on his seat, his head down. He couldn't look at the older woman. It was as if his energy was drained out. He closed his eyes shut. The Kaoru he loved was gone. Her heart has turned to ice. He had to find out this dangerous secret before it harms Kaoru. He would be strong to protect her. I will protect her, he told himself.
Kenshin leaned on his leathered chair and heaved a sigh at the memory of twelve years ago. He had said goodbye to Ryuki and wanted to talk to Kaoru but it wasn't the right time even if it meant not seeing Kaoru. He had been doing research about the Kamiya family but found no result. For these long years he had been desperate. He didn't want to ask Kaoru because it was too early and most of all too painful for Kaoru. How he longed to hold her and kiss her! His desire for her had not changed.
But now at age twenty- four, he would have the courage to talk to Kaoru and release her from the pain. He would make her believe in love.
Kaoru was typing on her lap tap in the large, spacious room. She was sitting on her queen sized bed with pure light blue satin and flowered patterns on her comforter. Her wall was covered with wallpapers that were designed with different shades of blue depicting a scene of the sky and bringing out the color of her eyes. There was a door leading to a bathroom filled with a large bath tub and a shower. A window was perched just above the bath tub showing the scenery of her vast garden. The floors were covered with marbles making the bathroom looked grand and exquisite.
Kaoru stopped typing her documents to be passed for tomorrow for her business report on her company's income and other important things. She stretched, feeling relaxed. Then she remembered that this morning a strange man had kissed her. She was astonished that the kiss felt right. A part of her wanted more than just a kiss. But what?, she asked herself. She would not fall in love. But would she be able to resist from the man who gave her just a simple kiss and had almost made her desire love? Suddenly, she wanted to see him again. Then an idea struck her.
She connected to the internet and tried to find out about Himura Kenshin. Finally, she found out what she was looking for. The biography of Kenshin.
After reading the file, she couldn't help thinking about him. So he was a genius and a magna cum laude of finance at Oxford University and had studied accounting in Harvard, being the number one. Not to mention was he very popular in every sports he did. He even can speak several languages which Kaoru too knew fluently. What a genius, Kaoru thought. Being both a graduate of Oxford and Harvard University made him very impressive. He especially loved swordsmanship and always practiced his sword style in his spare time.
He was only twenty- four when he came afresh from Harvard after four years. That meant he entered college at a very young age and had prettily finished his course in a very fast way. But there was something more to him, Kaoru thought. He was very familiar but she couldn't have seen him in Japan because he hadn't visited Japan for twelve years until today.
Then it struck her like a blow. She had seen him once in the library at Harvard, asking her if she wouldn't mind to sit in front of her as she did her research. She said yes but was too absorbed in reading the book to have noticed him. She knew that he had handsome features but she didn't care.
How strange. Was it merely a coincidence that he was there? How had he known her? There must be something about him that she couldn't quite understand. Who was a Himura Kenshin? Kaoru couldn't answer these questions. Tomorrow she would go to the Himura fortress and talk to him personally after all he had said he would be waiting for her.
And Kenshin was indeed waiting for her to come as he rested calmly in his study. He felt that Kaoru would come tomorrow. He just grinned as he dozed off.
