Chapter 2: Surprises
By InuShemeeko
(A/N: About three months have passed since the last chapter. Oh and I am really sorry if I offended anyone with the first chapter. It wasn't that SOUR I tamed it down a lot from my original chapter. Well hope I get more great reviews again. You guys help me write the chapters with your reviews.)
Kenshin smiled as he rose from his bed and made it to the self where his gi lay. Kenshin soft amethyst eyes glanced down at Kaoru as she slept. It was early in the morning and he did not wish to wake her. As far as he was concerned she looked like an angel his angel. Once he had his gi and hakama tied on he quietly went to Kaoru's side and brushed her hair away, only to place a gentle kiss to her forehead.
Kaoru mumbled Kenshin's name in her sleep.
"Kenshin..?"
This caused Kenshin to smile once more as he made it to his feet and quietly slipped out the door. Once in the kitchen he busied himself with cooking breakfast. As he was preparing rice cakes for breakfast, one decision laid heavy on his mind. Kenshin had made up his mind today was going to be the day. He was going to ask Kaoru if she would marry him and become his wife. He had told Sano the day before about his decision to ask Kaoru to marry him.
Sano response had been, "As long as you're doing because you love her and not out of guilt."
Kenshin sometimes couldn't help but feel like he wasn't worthy of Kaoru's love. However, every time he said it out loud Kaoru hit him with her bokken over the head. Within a few minutes Kenshin heard Kaoru stirring, he then heard her sandaled feet come down the hallway.
***********
"Good Morning Kenshin."
Kenshin looked up and smiled and Kaoru.
"A good morning that it is Miss Kaoru."
Kaoru made herself busy by setting the table for breakfast. She knew within a few minutes Yahiko would be up and he would be complaining how starved he was. An hour or two after that Sanosuke would show up wanting something to eat.
* * * * * * * *
Kenshin's thoughts drifted away as he watched Kaoru. Here of late he could keep his eyes off her. Unfortunately Kenshin still hadn't figured out why.
'Sessha should ask Miss Kaoru now that I should. Before sessha gets afraid and backs out.'
Kenshin cleared his throat out before he spoke. Kaoru turned and looked at him.
"Miss Kaoru?"
"Yes, Kenshin?"
Kenshin smiled lightly at her. "I was wondering if Miss Kaoru would see it fit to marry this sessha."
Kaoru gasped as her voice got caught in her throat. "Oh my god Kenshin!"
Kenshin looked over at Kaoru not understanding her reaction. He had not seen this as one of them. Kenshin was starting to feel a little bit warm.
"Kenshin your gi sleeve it's on fire!"
Kenshin looked down quickly to see small flames heading up his sleeve.
"Gah!"
Kenshin's eyes darted around looking for the bucket of water he had, had earlier. However, it had disappeared from where it had been once. The next thing Kenshin knew he was cold and had water dripping into his eyes. Kaoru sighed once she saw that the fire was out. A small giggle slipped from her lips as she stared at the now soaked Rurouni.
"Kenshin you look so cute all wet like that."
Kaoru had to say that he looked more then cute standing there soaked to the bone. She was about to tell Kenshin to forget breakfast and that she would rather have her dessert now. Kaoru then heard a soft laugh come out of Kenshin as he looked down at his soaked entire.
"I believe I will go change into some dry clothes now. That I will."
Kaoru stood at watched as Kenshin turned to leave. As Kenshin started to walk away Kaoru snapped back to her senses.
"Kenshin wait a minute. I never got the chance to answer your question."
Kenshin smiled gently over at Kaoru. "Your answer Miss Kaoru?"
Kaoru took a deep breath. "Yes. My answer is yes."
Kaoru then when to Kenshin and kissed him. Kenshin kissed her back and gently placed his arms around her. He then looked down at Kaoru's kimono and then frowned.
"I have surly ruined your kimono Miss Kaoru. That I have."
"It's alright Kenshin I need to change any way. I promised Yahiko that we would do some training today."
Kenshin wrapped his arm around as Kaoru rested her head on Kenshin's shoulder. They both then headed toward their room to change.
* ***
Yahiko made his way into the kitchen for breakfast. He looked around not seeing anyone. Yahiko could have sworn he had heard someone earlier. He just shrugged and helped himself to the warm rice sitting next to the stove.
"I could have sworn I heard Kenshin and Kaoru in here earlier. Oh well if their not going to eat I guess I just help myself."
******
Kenshin slipped on a dry magenta gi then turned to see Kaoru sitting on the floor brushing her hair and pulling it back. Kenshin saw that she was all ready dressed in her training outfit. Just then Yahiko's voice broke the silence in the room.
"Hey, ugly are you up yet! We got training to do!"
Kaoru sighed and laid her brush down.
"Coming Yahiko!"
Kaoru then quickly rose to her feet. Only to have a wave of dizziness hit her. Kenshin saw Kaoru sway and reached out to catch her.
"Miss Kaoru, are you alright?"
Kaoru smiled up at Kenshin. "I'm all right Kenshin. I just rose to quickly off the floor is all."
Kenshin didn't look convinced. "Are you sure Miss Kaoru?"
Yahiko's voice could be heard outside.
"Kaoru come on. I'll never get any training done if you don't hurry up."
Kaoru smiled at Kenshin right before she yelled at Yahiko.
"I said I was coming so why don't you just shut up!"
Kaoru's teeth grinded together as she headed outside the dojo she didn't even notice Sanosuke as he greeted her.
"Morning little missy."
Sano face fell as Kaoru stalked by him and head toward Yahiko. Sanosuke turned to see Kenshin coming outside.
"Hey, Kenshin."
"Morning Sano."
"Uh, you think we should warn Yahiko. The little missy looks like she going to kill him."
Kenshin just smiled. "I'm sure he'll be okay, that he will."
That's when Kenshin realized that Kaoru was carrying her bokken (someone please tell me if I'm spelling this right) in her hands.
"Yahik..o."
It was to late Kaoru's bokken managed to come in contact with Yahiko's head several times.
"I told you earlier that I was coming. You had better start practicing patience Yahiko."
Both Sano and Kenshin's faces fell as they looked at Kaoru.
"Kenshin are you sure you want to marry her?"
"S...S...Sessha is starting to wonder."
Both men stared at Yahiko unconscious body, which was lying on the ground. @_@
"Come on, Yahiko we don't have all day."
******
Hours later both Yahiko and Kaoru were outside training wooden bokkens in hands. Sanosuke was leaning against the dojo as Kenshin washed the laundry.
"Alright Yahiko that was a good block. Keep up the good work."
"Yeah, one of these days I'm going to kick your ugly butt."
Yahiko was surprised when Kaoru didn't say anything smart back at him. He then noticed as Kaoru's eyes stared to roll up into her head as she fainted.
"Kaoru!"
********
Kenshin smiled as he listened to Kaoru and Yahiko discussion. Kenshin's smile soon faded when he heard Yahiko call Kaoru's name. He looked up just in time to see Kaoru falling to the ground.
"Miss Kaoru!"
The laundry forgotten Kenshin rushed from his spot to catch Kaoru.
Sanosuke rushed over to Kenshin and Kaoru.
"What happened?"
Kenshin's eyes narrowed a little bit as he stared over at Yahiko. The look in Kenshin's eyes scared Yahiko a little bit.
"What happened Yahiko?"
"I don't know Kenshin. We were training; Kaoru told me that I was getting better. I told her I was going to beat her one day and then she just fainted."
Kenshin looked down at Kaoru's face. She looked pale; Kenshin touched the side of her face.
"Miss Kaoru?"
He then flinched when he felt how warm she was, beads of sweat were starting to form on her forehead. Kenshin looked up at Sanosuke.
"Sano."
"Right, I'll go get Megumi."
Sanosuke disappeared down the street and headed for the clinic.
********
Sanosuke made it to the clinic doors.
"Hey, Megumi you got a minute. It's kind of a emergency it's Kaoru she passed out or something."
"I'm sure the little raccoon will be fine."
"Kenshin sent me he's pretty worried."
Megumi turned and smiled.
"Oh well I always have time for Sir Ken."
Both Sano and Megumi headed toward the Kamiya dojo.
(A/N: I was going to stop here. But hey you guys have sent me some good reviews so I'll give you some more.)
Kenshin lifted Kaoru up into his arms and carried her into the dojo. He then headed down the hall to their room. Once inside he laid Kaoru down on the futon. Yahiko appeared minutes later carrying a cloth and a bucket of water.
"Kenshin here's the stuff you wanted."
Kenshin looked over at Yahiko and gave him a slight smile.
"Thank you Yahiko."
"Sure thing Kenshin. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"You could go watch for Sano and Miss Megumi that you could."
"You bet Kenshin."
Kenshin rang out the cloth a little before laying it on Kaoru's forehead.
"You're going to be all right Miss Kaoru that you are."
Kenshin dabbed Kaoru forehead some more with the wet cloth. Kaoru's eyes then started to open slightly.
"Kenshin..?"
Kenshin's amethyst eyes brightened at the sound of Kaoru's voice.
"Kaoru." He smiled lightly at her.
"Kenshin what happened?"
"You fainted that you did Miss Kaoru. How are you feeling?"
Kaoru sighed, "I'm a little tired. I don't know why though."
"You just rest then Miss Kaoru."
************
Outside the dojo Yahiko wait for a sign of Sanosuke and Megumi. That's when he saw them.
"Hey, over here."
Three of them headed for the door, however Megumi stopped them before they got inside.
"You two stay out here. If I need you I called you."
*****
Kenshin stood outside with Sanosuke and Yahiko. It had taken Megumi forever but she had finally talk Kenshin into leaving Kaoru so she could examine her. Twenty minutes later Megumi stepped out side.
"How's the little missy?"
Megumi smiled over at Sanosuke.
"She's fine. I gave her something to help her rest."
Both Sanosuke and Yahiko looked confused. Megumi then looked over at
Kenshin.
"Sir Ken, could I speak with you for a minute?"
Kenshin nodded and followed Megumi inside. She stood there just
smiling at him. She then asked.
"So when is the wedding?"
Kenshin mouth fell open.
"Excuse me Miss Megumi?"
Megumi giggled. "Oh I'm sorry Sir Ken I should be congratulating you."
Kenshin's face fell again. "I'm a bit confused that I am."
"The baby silly."
"B...Baby?"
A smile stayed on Megumi's face. "Kaoru's pregnant."
"Preg...Pregnant."
Kenshin's eyes widened just before he fainted and fell to the floor
@-@. Megumi gasped as she stared at Kenshin.
"Sir Ken?"
(A/N: Ok that's the end for now hope you liked.)
