Chapter 4: Energy Into Tears
By InuShemeeko
Kenshin panted as he tried to keep up to Kaoru's pace. A few days ago Kaoru's morning sickness had started to wane. In place of her morning sickness, Kenshin had found that Kaoru had these burst of energy. Kenshin watched as Kaoru scrubbed the floor of the practice room.
"Hurry up Kenshin, we'll never get done if you don't put you're back into it."
Kenshin sighed.
"Coming Miss Kaoru."
"Kenshin? Kenshin."
Kenshin turned to face the voice that had spoke his name. That's when he found Yahiko leaning against the wall. Sweat was rolling down his face and he looked extremely tired. Kenshin smiled over at Yahiko.
" I see Miss Kaoru has already been sparing with you this morning. That she has."
"Yeah and if she keeps this up she's going to end up killing me."
Kenshin couldn't help but smile at Yahiko.
"You're doing fine Yahiko that you are indeed."
Kenshin then went back to scrubbing the dojo floors. He then looked around for Kaoru. Kenshin scratched his head a little.
"Miss Kaoru? Where did she go?"
"I think I saw the little missy heading out toward the bath house."
Kenshin's eyes widened a bit before he answered.
"Oro."
He then got up from his spot on the floor.
"I should go check on her that I should."
Kenshin left both Sanosuke and Yahiko staring after him.
*******************
"Man, Sanosuke I've never seen Kenshin as watchful as his has been lately."
"Yeah, well I think the little missy is going to be the death of all of us."
"You said it Sanosuke."
**************************
It didn't take Kenshin long to reach the bathhouse. He then tapped lightly on the door and waited for Kaoru to answer. Kenshin frowned when he heard Kaoru empting the contents of her stomach.
"Miss Kaoru... Can I get you anything?"
Kaoru wiped her mouth and then answered Kenshin.
"No, thank you, I'm alright Kenshin."
"Are you sure Kaoru?"
"Uh-huh, I'll be fine. I promise."
Kaoru then slowly exited the bathhouse, only to find Kenshin standing outside waiting on her. She smiled gently at Kenshin when she saw the worry written over his face. Kenshin noticed Kaoru smiling at him and in turn returned the smile back.
"Well Kenshin lets get busy we have a lot of things to get done in the next couple of weeks. So we should get moving"
That's when Kaoru's smile turned into a frown. Kenshin watched as tears welled up under Kaoru's eyes.
"Oro??"
"Unless, unless you don't plan on marrying me. You're not planning on leaving me are you? Oh Kenshin how could you?"
"Huh? Uh, oro."
Kenshin stiffened and then fell to the ground as a crying Kaoru ran away from him. @-@ Kenshin foot twitched in the air as Sanosuke made his way to Kenshin.
"Hey, Kenshin what's up with the little missy?"
Sanosuke raised an eyebrow as he looked down at a sprawled out Kenshin on the ground.
"Wonder what's up with Kenshin. Oh well, I guess I'll go check on Megumi. See you later Kenshin."
Sanosuke then made his way out of the dojo and over to the Clinic to see Megumi. Kenshin shook his head as he pulled himself off of the ground.
"Karou?"
He then set out to fine Kaoru. Kenshin soon found Yahiko sweeping the porch. He scratched his head and smiled as he looked at Yahiko.
"Yahiko, do you perhaps know where Miss Karou went off too?"
Yahiko looked up at Kenshin.
"Yeah, she's in her room. She said she was tired and was going to take a nap."
Kenshin smiled at Yahiko.
"I see, I think I will go and peek in on her."
Yahiko called after Kenshin.
"Hey Kenshin, Karou seemed kind of upset."
Kenshin face went solemn as he spoke.
"I see."
Kenshin slipped his sandals off as he made his way inside and down the hallway. He then knocked on the door.
"Miss Kaoru. May I come in?"
There was a small sigh before he was answered.
"Go away Kenshin. I don't want to talk to you."
Kenshin's face fell right before he fell to the ground.
"Oro?"
****************************************
It had taken serve days for Kaoru to let him into the room. However even when she did she refused to talk to him. Time seemed to be moving on at a steady pace. Kenshin had sighed with a glad heart, when Kaoru's morning sickness decided to leave her. Letting Kaoru eat regular meals.
One evening Kenshin was making his way to their room when he heard sobbing coming from the other side.
"Kaoru what is? What's wrong?"
Kenshin burst into the room only to side to a stop. He flapped his arms in the air to try and steady himself. Nevertheless, he fell to the floor in a Rurouni heap.
"Oroooo."
He blinked a few times still hearing a soft sobbing coming from the still figure laying on the futon. Kenshin slowly then crawled up behind Kaoru.
"Kaoru? What is it?"
Kaoru sniffed in between sobs as she spoke to Kenshin.
"I have no waist my beautiful is gone."
Her body was then racked in sobs once more. Kenshin then reached over and pulled Kaoru into his lap. He then slowly slid his hand underneath of her robes and placed his hand on her waist. Kenshin then spoke softly to Kaoru.
"You still have a waist Miss Kaoru. That you do. It's just a little bit thicker is all."
Kaoru gasped and looked up at Kenshin in horror.
"I knew it I'm starting to get fat."
Kenshin reached a gentle hand up and lifted Kaoru's face so he then could look into her tear-streaked eyes. He then gave her his Rurouni smile.
"I never said you were getting fat Miss Karou. That I did not, indeed I didn't."
He then wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Your waist is a little thicker and shows a little that it does."
Kaoru blinked at Kenshin a few times. She then started to speak to him.
"Kens..?"
Kenshin held a finger to Kaoru's lips quieting her.
"However, Miss Kaoru I believe you are carrying a child in your womb. That you are indeed."
Kaoru sighed as she rested her head against Kenshin's chest.
"Kenshin, I know that already. But Megumi said I wouldn't started showing until another week or so."
Kenshin smiled at her again.
"It really isn't that noticeable now that I think able it."
"Kenshin."
Kenshin then raise the shirt of her sleeping robe to expose Kaoru's slightly thicker waist. However there was a small bulge that was indeed noticeable up close. Kenshin then lightly stoked Kaoru's stomach.
"Perhaps, Kaoru you are much different then most woman?"
He then leaned over to kiss the center of Kaoru's waist. Causing Kaoru to giggle softly.
Kenshin's amethyst eyes shone with a deep love for Kaoru.
"I will love you no matter what Kaoru. That I will indeed."
Kenshin placed one more kiss to Kaoru's waist. Before he brought his lips to her's.
