Counterfeit Love

IT'S NOT OVER

Hehehehe . . . Sorry for the VERY LONG WAIT . . . Oro kill me if you want!

Now I feel like writing so . . .

6 Months Later . . .

"I'm going out anata" Kaoru called slipping out of the gate

"Oro?" Kenshin walked over to the gate and caught his wife's arm, "Where?"

"Umm . . ." she looked down the road, "To Megumi's"

"Why?"

"You're acting like my father" she rolled her eyes, "I just want to talk"

"Alright" he let of her arm, "If there's nothing wrong"

"Nothing at all" she smiled and walked down the path

For the past six months, the Kamiya dojo has been a picture perfect house. Kenshin and Kaoru have been bound under holy matrimony and Kaoru still hits Yahiko with a bokken when he gets out of line. Sanosuke went off to travel and Megumi said she was leave to her hometown soon. Life was good to Kaoru. She had a loving husband, her own dojo, and an obscure family all over Japan. She was pretty optimistic.

She walked down the worn path and remembered times long past. She was near the river, and remembered a sad goodbye, a warm welcoming home and a promise that she will be with someone forever. She walked on and soon doctor Genzai's clinic was in view. She sighed and thought about why she was here . . .

@---

"So you aren't sure what's going on?" the older female doctor said

"I think I might but . . .I don't know for sure" Kaoru answered looking down at her hands

"You stupid girl!" Megumi admonished, "You think you could get away with doing that with Ken-san and that this wouldn't happen?"

"Oro?" Kaoru blushed, using her husband's favorite phrase

Megumi sighed, "That didn't come out right . . . You're pregnant baka!!"

Kaoru gasped, "Kami, Megumi you made me think I was dieing or something!" she got up and hugged the fox-lady, "This is truly a blessing!"

"You damn lucky girl!" Megumi laughed. Megumi gave her some tips on things that she should and shouldn't do. "So, how are you gonna tell Kenshin?"

"I don't know" she sighed, "I really don't know"

@---

"How am I going to tell him? It should be special I guess . . . hmmm . . . I know"

Kaoru smiled and looked for a paper and pen

Kenshin,

I went for a walk down by the riverbed, come if you'd like

Kaoru

Kenshin read the note and blinked. Lately he hadn't seen much of his beloved wife and any chance he got to spend time with her was fine with him. He untied the cord from around his gi and walked to the door, smiling.

The old path brought many memories to him. Memories of goodbyes, warm welcomes home and eternal promises. He smiled and saw Kaoru in the distance, looking out at the fireflies over the river.

She looked up and smiled, "I'm happy you came"

"I am as well" he mumbled quietly

"What's the matter?"

He looked at her and smiled, "Nothing, I just missed you"

"Well, if it makes you feel better I missed you very much"

"It's funny" he laughed slightly, "We live in the same house, and the same room, and yet we still miss each other?"

Kaoru laughed as well, "We don't see each other as much during the day the past week"

"Where have you been going?"

"I'll tell you in a minute, but more importantly I need to tell you something else"

"Nani?" he turned to face her and froze suddenly. He then relaxed and wrapped his arms around her

"Kenshin!" she chuckled, "Wait till I tell you"

"I already know" he smiled hugging her tightly, "I already know." He lifted her off the ground and spun her a few times till he got a satisfying giggle. "Koishii, I'm overjoyed . . ."

"Are we talking about the same thing?" she looked questioningly

"I'm going to be a father!" he spun her again

"No fair! How?"

"I could tell by your aura . . . it's different then it usually is, like there was an extra note in a song. I was waiting for you to tell me though" he smiled and breathed her smell in deep, becoming intoxicated on jasmine once again

"You cheater!" she laughed, kissing his scarred cheek, "You're going to be a father . . ." she said softly

"Hai"

"And . . . I'm going to be a mother" she sighed, "It feels like I'm dreaming"

"I hope not, koishii" he ran his fingers through her black silk-like hair. With a sudden change in his tone he said, "Sessha is going to be a father!"

Kaoru laughed, "No more sessha! YOU are going to be a father!"

"But sessha feels that he is not-"

"Shut up!" she scolded him, "I don't want to hear anything about you being unworthy!"

"Alright sessha won't say anything" he smiled

Kaoru sighed then smiled back, "I love you"

"I love you too" he said kissing her

Anyway, it's really early and I want to put this up so no one else thinks that this is the end of the story (or that 14 was) anyhow, I was in a very interesting chat room the other day with my school friends . . . Hmmm, I never talk to them online . . . I think I know why . . . (you know what I'm talking about Koishii Sweet! Heheh

Song of the day: . . . . . . . .I don't know, how about 1/3 Rurouni Kenshin ending #? Heh . . . I don't know the words though . . . And I'm too lazy to go on animelyrics.com right now
