Chapter 4: Kaoru learns something about the ruronui
Disclaimer: Hello. Sorry I didn't update for a while but I had writers block and I couldn't use my intern for a while either. At least I updated my other stories too. Anyway this is gona be a really short chappie. Hope you don't mind. And again some of the lines are gona be from the manga like last time and I don't own it. Anyways on with the story.

"But before you go just tell me your name."

The rurouni went over to the door and said, "My name is Himura Kenshin today."

Kaoru turned around and smiled that the rurouni was staying.

"This one is tired of wondering, so please excuse the intrusion for a while. And you won't know when this one will be leaving. (A/N: This part was from the manga.)"

(Kaoru smiles) "HEY!!! Wait if you were a warrior from the Bakumatsu, exactly how old are you?"

"Oro?"

"What? What does oro mean anyway? And with a face like that you can't be over 30!!!"

"How old indeed...umm...hold on one second....1...2...3...4..."

"What?!?! You don't even know your own age?!?!?!"

"Eh...about...."

"About what? How old are you?"

"How old are you Kaoru-dono?"

"WHAT!!!" (Slaps Kenshin on the head) "You never ask a lady how old they are!!!"

And very randomly Kenshin says, "AHA!!! 28!!!"

"28?!?! 28 what?"

"That's how old I am."

"WHAT!!! YOU SAY YOUR 28?!?!"

"Hai..."

"THAT'S A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT!!!"

"Would 30 make you happier?"

"No...no it wouldn't."

(sigh) "This isn't going to be easy that it isn't."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!!!"

"Nothing nothing."

"Fine fine. If you say so. Hey Kenshin?"

"Hai Kaoru-dono?"

"Kenshin, why are you a roruoni? Why do you wander?"

"Eh?"

"Why Kenshin?"

"Some people don't like to talk about their past. And my past is too violent."

"There MUST be a reason for everything about you. Why you wander, why you vowed to never kill again, why you have those scars on your cheek, why..."

"Kaoru-dono..."

"Hmmm?"

"Please stop. I wish not to remember my past. Its already hard enough I still remember even though I wandered for 10 years."

"10 YEARS?!?!"

"Hai. And I still remember her....(A/N: you know who I'm talking about right?)"

"Ok Kensh...HER?"

"Once again I ask you, please don't ask me about my past. One day I'll tell you, when the time is right I will tell you everything."

Just before Kaoru got to answer, Kenshin got up and went outside to watch the sun set. Just then Kaoru followed him out.

"Kenshin I'm sorry."

"It's ok Kaoru-dono."

"Kenshin..."

"Hai?"

"I'll be waiting for that day you tell me. Then, I'll get to know you better and why you act the way you do."

"Hai. One day I'll be brave enough to tell you or anyone."

Kaoru just smiled and rested her head on Kenshin's shoulders and watched the sunset.
