Counterfeit Love
Chapter 11
I love writing this! I just can't stop writing this! It's so fun! Strangely I do like writing the angst parts....but then again I'm morbid to begin with so no surprise.
Thanks to my reviewers: Alissin6, dark-luv-dove, Kyo-Terayashi, and Knives- girl
And everyone else who reviewed in previous chapters, thank you! I love getting reviews, makes me feel better about this fiction.
I'm thinking about writing a Halloween fiction. I already have an idea but I don't know...Tell me what you think!
I'm also writing that AU fic I mentioned...it's getting pretty good but I might not put it up on ff.net....I will on my site though.......probably
I should start writing....
And if thought Megumi and Sano would find Kenshin and Kaoru doing something they shouldn't be, you were very wrong and have a hentai mind! Shame on you!
VOLLYBALL RULES!!!!

Kaoru woke slowly and turned over to find an arm around her waist. She froze for a moment and then remembered last night, and relaxed. She faced a sleeping Kenshin and smiled in contentment, brushing some hair out of his face. He stirred and she ran a finger down his cheek bone.
"Mmmm...." He said sleepily, "Kaoru......." his eyes opened and he leaned into her palm.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Who else would it be?" he said surprised.
'Stupid question' she thought, "I meant....I don't know..."
"I could tell because your hands are so soft, if that's what you mean" his eyes lazily closed again in her palm
"Soft?" She questioned, "My hands are rough from training...my nails are all jagged and un-kept....What do you mean soft?"
"Your hands are this unworthy one's favorite pair" He muttered in his sleep, "Besides, "He opened his eyes and looked at her, "They look perfect to sessha"
"Yare, yare, no baka" She laughed
"Kaoru, we are going to have to get up sometime" he chuckled, "You do realize that, ne?"
"Hai, hai....unfortunately"
"Mmmm...." he mumbled into her hair
Outside Sano was walking through the empty yard a bit confused
"Kenshin's always up at this hour" he said to no one, "JOU-CHAN!! KENSHIN!!!" He called loudly
"Hush baka!" Megumi yelled, "Maybe they're still asleep! Kenshin hasn't gotten any sleep in three days and Kaoru needs to recover!"
"What ever"
Unbeknownst to Sano and Megumi, Kenshin and Kaoru heard Sano's shouts loud and clear.
"Oro?!" Kenshin cried when He heard Sano shouting their names
"Despite Megumi, Sano is still going to look for us so let's hurry up and figure something out!"
But, too bad for them, Sano's loud footsteps could already be hear coming down the porch. Kaoru cursed and told Kenshin to go near the same wall the shoji was on and she'd cover him. Sano banged on the rice paper shortly after
"Oi, Jou-chan! You awake or what?" Sano said impatiently, for want of food. He heard muffled noises and decided to open the shoji.
Bad decision....
Kaoru yelled something about not being dressed and Sano not having any regard for one's privacy. He was also greeted by a smack in the face. Kaoru huffed and Kenshin thought he couldn't contain his laughter much longer. She opened the door a bit and asked what he wanted, annoyed.
"I was just looking for Kenshin!" He pleaded, "I'm hungry!"
"Well I haven't seen him!" She went to close the door but Sano stopped it, gazing at something on her shoulder
"Haven't," He started, while picking up and red hair off her shoulder, "seen him?"
"Mou!" She yelled in response slamming the door in his face. Kenshin fell on a pillow and started laughing. She shook her head and took another pillow and smacked him. He sat up, rubbing his head, still laughing
"Sessha should go you know......" He said as if forced, "Sano will come back if he can't find sessha"
"Mmm...." She mumbled falling to the floor, if not for Kenshin.
"Kaoru?"
"Nani?" She swayed a bit and Kenshin got her to her futon
"Go to sleep, Kaoru. Sessha put you through to much last night that he did....rest"
She slowly closed her eyes again and was soon dead to the world. Kenshin laughed and went outside, straitening his gi. Megumi was soon in view, running towards him
"Ken-san!" She cried, "How is Tanuki?"
"She is very tired, that she is"
"Well, I really don't want her to be walking around because...." Her face looked strained, "She's in a pretty bad condition Ken-san.....She had fought that imposter out in the country and had gotten slightly beat up.....her body hadn't healed properly and then she got a terrible cold.......and losing all the blood she did, with the wound and all, she's really worn down and REALLY needs her rest"
Kenshin was silently starring at the ground, 'and I put her through what I did last night.....SESSHA NO BAKA!!!!!!' he mentally beat himself up
"Ken-san?" Megumi inquired, "Are you ok?
"Hai....." He said turning quickly, "Sessha has to go make breakfast that I do"
Kenshin rushed away and Megumi sat there confused, "Ken-san?" She shook her head and left quickly to find Sano
@---
After breakfast Kenshin was sitting alone with his laundry, arms covered in soap bubbles. He started to whistle when a certain rooster head came over
"Kenshin?" He asked in an unusual voice, fidgeting a bit, "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure Sano, what's the matter?"
"Kitsune asked me to talk to you because you were acting strange before" Sano slumped down to the ground, "What happened last night?"
"Nothing Sano" Kenshin said continuing to wash the clothes
"Kenshin..." Sano warned looking his friend straight in the eye, "Come on...Tell"
Kenshin sighed and turned around, "Alright Sano.....After we went home I told her it would be unsafe for me to keep staying in the dojo....and that Seiji had more right to her then I ever will...."
"Kenshin..." Sano near growled, not liking where this was going. Kenshin scratched the back of his head and sweat dropped, "Well if your still here, she must've not kicked you out.....Go on"
"Yes....well...sessha wandered away, but couldn't get anywhere..."
"You were in the clinic, ne?"
"Hai......How did you....?"
"I heard you last night and thought it was to big to be a mouse......didn't want nothing to happen to Kitsune"
"Ahh....Well yes, I was there and well...."
"You knew you we stuck"
"That I did" Kenshin sighed, "I went back and saw Kaoru sitting in the road crying....it had started to snow so I told her to come home and that's about it that it is" Kenshin started to wash the sheet again but Sanosuke had some more questions
"Ok....so, you feel badly because you made Jou-chan get up and go outside in cold conditions.....but, how on earth did she not kick you out?.....Wait......YOU MADE HER CRY?! IN THE SNOW?!" Sano shouted as it suddenly clicked in his mind
"Oro?! Maa maa, Sano! Maa maa!"
"Don't you 'maa maa' me!!" He yelled throwing Kenshin across the yard, "You're not supposed to make her cry!! OR go out in the snow, WHEN SHE'S SICK!!!!" Sano kicked Kenshin in the head a couple times while he was on the ground. Kenshin's eyes swirled and he was close to passing out
"SANO!!" Megumi shouted from the other room, "SHUT UP OR YOU'LL WAKE TANUKI!!"
Sano cursed and left Kenshin alone while he tried to regain consciousness. Kenshin walked to the wash tub again, when he could see straight, and began to fold the clothes.
"Kenshin?" Sano asked plopping down nest to him again, "How the hell did you get to stay? She would've thrown you out"
Kenshin's face tinted red and he said nothing
Sanosuke grinned evilly and started laughing, "You told her you loved her didn't you?" He laughed even more as Kenshin nodded, "Good for you buddy! I told you she had a thing for you"
Kenshin said nothing and Sano thought of something else
"So you WERE with her last night!" He grinned even wider, if it was possible.
"Not like that Sano!" Kenshin protested
"Sure....."
"Sano!!!"
The ex-gangster laughed, "Yea I know, really. It took both you baka's this long just to say three words, so I wouldn't expect you to get married for another 6 years!"
"Oro?!"
@---
Megumi hummed as she checked over Kaoru's wounds and such. Everything was healing alright, just a little slow. Megumi was sitting right next to the futon, while Kaoru was lying on her side, back to the fox doctor.
"You lucky tanuki" Megumi blurted out to Kaoru's sleeping form, "You have a...strange...but great family....you have a nice dojo, and home....your beautiful, smart and kind....and you have Kenshin...Wish I was as lucky as you sometimes"
Kaoru stirred and shook her head mumbling something about Sanosuke, run- down place, and being stupid. Megumi laughed and bent over
"Are you awake?"
"Lil'" Kaoru sighed turning over, "I woke up when you were yellin' at Sano....." she drifted off a bit but came back, "You have Sano, this place is run-down, my family is your family, and who said I was smart, pretty, and kind?"
Megumi shook her head, "You said nothing about Kenshin so I'll assume something happened last night"
"Mmmm" was all Kaoru felt like saying
"Finally" Megumi muttered, "And who said I have Sano?" she suddenly turned red. The younger girl laughed and Megumi made a face, "You shouldn't doubt yourself though"
"I know" she said half asleep, "But I still feel a little helpless and of no use to anyone........"
"Tanuki, you saved Kenshin when you were sick and almost beaten, and I know SOMETHING must've happened last night because there are tears stains on your pillows and there were strange footprints on the dirt road," Kaoru raised an eyebrow and Megumi smiled, "I'm very perceptive...."
"Yes, well..."
"Kaoru, you'll be fine. Trust me. You'll live, but you need to get a lot of rest, ok? I don't want you dying before you get married" Megumi laughed and Kaoru turned crimson, "I'll go make you some miso soup ok?" Megumi got up and went to the door
"Megumi?" Kaoru's voice was very weak, "Arigato for everything"
Megumi smiled and left the room
@---
Ahhh......I feel......I don't know what I feel, but it's blissful....
There will most likely be more chapters so don't stop reading! I gotta explain what happened to Seiji and maybe I'll do more WAFF. Just tell me if this fiction is going off track to much, like a Simpson's episode
Song of the Day: Yellow by Coldplay. If you notice, the last chapter, was a line from that song...so I'll sing that part
Your skin, oh yea your skin and bones
Turn in-to something beautiful
You know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
COLDPLAY ROCKS
