Counterfeit Love
Chapter 16
Heeellloooo
I'm back, and drunker on life then ever . . .but I'm tired and about to fall asleep in front of this computer . . .
Let's go . . . before I fall sleep
@---
"Yo! Jou-chan!" Sano called through the dojo, where are yooooouuuu???" He walked down the hall and knocked on Kenshin and Kaoru's room shoji, "Is a Ms. Kaoru Himura in there?" he called, using one of his new favorite nicknames
"Hold on Sano" Kaoru's voice came from the other side. Sano leaned against the wall and waited while hearing the sounds of ruffling clothing and such. He laughed to himself as Kaoru walked out, obi messy and hair down, yawning.
"What happened Jou-chan?" he asked smudgy
"Hush up Sano, before I show you what a bokken to the head feels like"
"Whoa, someone's not happy today. And that's a pain I've already felt"
Kaoru ignored him and walked into the kitchen where Kenshin was trying to make breakfast; Sano looked at him and noticed he was unusually quiet with an aloof look on his face. Kaoru excused herself and walked out. Sano walked up to Kenshin
"So good buddy, what goes on?" he smiled standing behind the short man
"Nothing at all Sano"
Sano's eye twitched, "Don't try to keep a secret from me Kenshin . . . I will find out!"
"Sanosuke leave him alone" Kaoru's voice came behind him. He turned and noticed that her hair was done properly as was her obi. But one thing was different: her hair was tied in a bun at the nape on her neck, instead of a ponytail at the top of her head.
"Yo, Ms. Jou-chan, what's up with your hair?"
She blinked and walked up to Kenshin, to help with the breakfast, "Nothing . . . why?"
"Cause you tied it different"
Kenshin turned and smiled at Kaoru, "I think she looks lovely that I do"
Kaoru smiled and began to chop some vegetables and Kenshin continued, "But if you don't mind me asking, why the new style, my love?"
"I don't know . . . Guess I need a change"
Sano laughed, "Isn't being married change enough, Ms. Kaoru Himura"
She shook her head, "Never mind Sano"
"Anyway, why don't you tell me what you two have been keeping secret?" Sano asked. They both looked at each other and fell silent. Sano sat down on the floor behind them, "Tell me! Come on! I know you're hiding something!"
"Sano . . ." Kenshin started to say but Kaoru cut in
"You're right"
"I am?" Sano looked at her, "Oh yeah, I am"
"You have always been there to help us Sano, I don't think it would be right to not tell you at least, ne Kenshin?"
"Hai. Sano just don't tell everyone"
"Alright . . ." he said questioningly. Kaoru dried off her hands and sat in front of Sano who raised an eyebrow, "You pregnant, little miss?"
Kaoru's eye twitched as she said quietly, "Why . . . does . . . everyone I tell . . . already . . . GUESS!!" She said standing up and leaning against the counter
Kenshin laughed and put an arm around his wife, "Maa maa" he then turned to Sano who was grinning, "It's true. But Megumi said it's a dangerous time until after three months so we don't want to tell many people in case something happens, alright Sano?"
"Hai" he stood up and smiled, walking over to Kaoru, "You're gonna be a mother," he said throwing his long arms around her small body and laughing, "Our Jou-chan is gonna be an okaa-san!"
"Sanosuke . . ." she said her eyes filling with tears, "You're gonna be an uncle!"
"I am, aren't I?" he turned to Kenshin, "and the wandering idiot who said that Kaoru would never love him back is gonna be a father!" he slapped the said idiot on the back
"Oroooooo . . . . . . . ." Kenshin tripped backwards into the counter
"So Sanosuke," Kaoru asked changing the subject, "How's Megumi?"
"Huh?" He looked at her and turned a bit red, "H-how should I know?"
Kenshin laughed, "Where's Yahiko?"
"The Akabeko" Kaoru said sitting down at the table, "He told me this mourning"
"I see" Kenshin said putting the food on the table
@---
"Kaoru?"
"Hmmm?"
"Why do I feel so afraid?"
"What?"
"I'm afraid that my past will hurt this child"
Kaoru turned over in their futon to face her husband, "We can protect it, and I'm sure"
"It's a he, koishii"
"Nani?"
"The child is a boy"
"How do you know that? It might be a girl"
"I can tell" he smiled and rubbed his eyes, "So are you going to tell me why you changed your hair?"
"You do not approve?"
"What ever you want that makes you happy is fine, but I want to know why"
"Well, I guess I feel like I'm older now and I am going to have a child so I guess I feel more like a normal woman"
"Oro?"
"I don't know, I feel like I'm such a tomboy that maybe now that I've settled down, people will stop judging me because I'm a kendo instructor"
"I see" he smiled, "But you've never really cared what people think of you"
"I know it's strange but if you don't like it I'll go back to my normal hair style"
"No, no, I was just worried something was wrong and you look very cute" he said kissing her cheek
"Mmm . . ."
@---
"It's been three and a half months" Kaoru said happily walking to the Akabeko, "Finally we'll tell our friends"
She walked there smiling knowing that Kenshin and everyone else were waiting at the restaurant for her. She had asked them to come there but something came up and she was delayed. She had told Kenshin to go without her, much to his dislike. And now she was on her way, dressed in a red kimono with yellow and orange flowers and other designs on it. And of course, her hair was now tied in a bun at the nape of her neck. The sun was setting and she quickened her pace
"Hey pretty lady" she turned around to see a larger man come up behind her, "What do you say me and you go get a drink?"
"No sir, I am busy right now" she kept walking without looking back
"No isn't what I want to hear" he grabbed her wrist, "What's a perty lady like you doing walking around alone?"
She back away, smelling alcohol on his breath, "Sir, let me go now"
"Uhh . . . no" he smiled and leaned forward
"Let me go!" she screamed
Suddenly a voice came from no where, "Get your filthy hands off her, now"
The drunkard turned and laughed, "Mr. Mouse Man is trying to play the hero. Well you talk big for someone with no power"
Kaoru looked around the fat man to see none other then, "Kenshin!"
The man laughed, "You know him?"
"I'll ask you again," Kenshin put a hand on his sword, "Get your disgusting hands off my wife"
"Wife, you say?" the man grinned, "Don't make me laugh"
Another voice came from behind the man, "Wanna hear something else that will make you laugh?" The man spun around and Sanosuke was standing there. He looked up and smiled, "I don't know if you know me or not, but she's my good friend and she's gonna have a kid right now so we're both pretty protective of her so you should watch"
"Y-your fighter for hire Zanza!" he man said throwing Kaoru to the ground
"Glad to know I'm still known" he smiled, "Anyway, you better apologize to Jou-chan right now"
The man looked down at Kaoru, "Uh sorry Miz' it won't happen again"
Kaoru sat on the floor and looked at Kenshin who walked over to help her up. Sano looked at the man and he jumped and ran. Then the ex-gangster looked at Kaoru, "You ok Jou-chan? I hope he didn't do nothing to you while we weren't here"
"I'm fine" she said breathing in heavily
"Are you sure koishii?" Kenshin looked at Kaoru
"Yes" she smiled, "Thank you"
"Was nothing Mrs." Sano smiled enjoying all the new nicknames he called Kaoru now that she was married
"Let's go then" Kaoru smiled
Kenshin nodded and Sanosuke began to walk ahead. Kaoru started to walk but soon felt an arm around her back and under her legs and she was lifted off the ground
She laughed realizing that Kenshin had picked her up, "Put me down!"
Sano looked behind him and smiled as the stubborn rurouni kept walking, not listening to his wife. Kaoru sighed and put her head back so it hung over his arm
"You are a stubborn idiot"
"And you're a beautiful stubborn woman" he smiled and kissed her cheek
