Kenshin's POV:
Kenshin was carrying her down towards her room when she started to stir.
"Kenshin" she whispered faintly.
"Shhh, Miss Kaoru you seemed to have had a rough day." Kenshin said as he walked on getting closer to her room.
"No, please Kenshin put me down I can walk myself." She said feeling restless.
"Miss Kaoru, are you sure?" Kenshin said sounding genuinely concerned.
"Yes." She said as Kenshin let her get up. "Thank you Kenshin." She said as she started to enter her room but Kenshin stopped her.
"Miss Kaoru, What happened to you tonight? I have never seen that look on your face before tonight." Kenshin looked at her with his amber eyes.
Kaoru gave him a sweet smile, "I told you when I met you there are things in our past that we don't want to speak of. This is one of those things for me. And Kenshin maybe one day I will be able to tell you," she brushed away a loose tear; "But right now I can't even think of it myself let alone tell anyone else about it." She put her hand to his cheek "I am exhausted and I would like to go to sleep, so, I will see you in the morning." Kaoru shut the Shoji in Kenshin's face.
'Miss Kaoru, I never knew that there was something in your life that made you hurt so much...' Kenshin for the first time realized that maybe he didn't give Kaoru enough credit for what happened in her life before he wandered into it.
Kaoru's POV:
She sat in her room; she had changed from her mother's old Kimono to her more comfortable Pajamas. She sat on her floor with her knees pulled up to her chest and thought about what happened today. 'Kenji... I won't let you do the same thing you always do.' She sighed and decided to go to bed. It didn't take long as soon as she lay down she seemed to fall instantly asleep.
Kenshin's POV:
As soon as he was sure she was asleep, Kenshin entered her room and sat on the floor across the room and watched her sleep. 'Whatever demons are chasing you I won't let them manifest tonight.' He thought. He watched her for a long time but soon he too fell asleep.
Kaoru's POV:
Morning came all too soon. Kaoru got up and stretched, her eyes wandered to the wall opposite of her she noticed Kenshin asleep against the wall. 'Kenshin?' She thought looking at his tranquil face. She smiled, there once would have been a time that she would have slapped him over the head with her bokken but now things have changed she walked up to him and threw her blanket over him and he kept on sleeping.
Kaoru left her room (and the sleeping Kenshin inside of it) and went out to the kitchen and started to make a breakfast.
"Kenshin?" Yahiko said entering the kitchen not to long after Kaoru had. "Oh so you're back." He said disappointedly noticing that it was just Kaoru.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Kaoru said defensively.
"Nothing," he replied "I just didn't see you get in last night."
"Is that because you weren't even here?" Kaoru had noticed this morning that Yahiko's room looked like it had been vacant since the day before.
"Waddya mean not there!?" Yahiko raised his voice.
"Well one you came from the wrong direction as if you were coming from the rooms or the Dojo. I also noticed that you're room looks questionably clean for someone who looks like they just got up." Kaoru eyed him but couldn't help thinking 'Ha the great Detective Kaoru is red hot today!'
Yahiko grumbled something that sounded like "nosey old hag"
"What was that!?" Kaoru said brandishing a cutting knife.
"Good morning!" Kenshin interrupted with his trademark smile.
Yahiko and Kaoru both looked at Kenshin.
"Oro?" he said trying to look oblivious. "Oh Miss Kaoru do you want help with breakfast?" He said trying to change whatever it was that they had been talking about.
"umm-sure..."she blushed she remembered how he had been waiting for her the night before, how he carried her in, and how he sat in her room all night watching over her. Until just then she had just realized that she hadn't even thought about what had happened the day before.
Yahiko rolled his eyes "I'm going to the Akabeko."
"No you're going to go clean the Dojo. And then you are going to practice." Kaoru said as he was about to leave.
"Fine," Yahiko walked off towards the Dojo grabbing a bucket on the way.
"Miss Kaoru-" Kenshin started to say but was interrupted.
"Kenshin, do you think I am a horrible person?" Kaoru asked
"Oro?"
