Chapter 7:Can I Go Home?

Summary Kaoru wants to go home. Is there a surprise waiting for her? (A/N I am making this my own so I changed the charactes a little so that Kenshin is eight years older instead of ten.)

Then it was over. It wasn't my choice, nor his. It was time that the nurse came in to make sure that I was okay. Of course I knew I was, who wouldn't be after being kissed by Kenshin? The lady came in and looked at my head to make sure that it wasn't bleeding still, then she made sure that I was comfortable. I was only worried about one thing. "When do I go home?"
"Usually the patients with head wounds go home same day, but yours was deep and you would need to stay for about a week that way I know you can walk and things okay?" That stinks. I can't go home until I walk. At that I got up and tried to walk."Ms. Kamiya, you aren't ready for that yet!"
"Ms. Kaoru." Everyone was trying to stop me. As soon as I got up, Kenshin did too. He stayed right by my side, but as soon as I took half a step, I began falling. At least I didn't fall to the ground. Kenshin would not allow that. This was great. I couldn't go home and I couldn't walk either. The nurse carried on to tell me how my control center of my body was in the spot where I was hit, so I couldn't exactly function properly. She was talking to me as if I wasn't human. I can't blame her. It is really hard to explain things like that without acting like that. Still, I wanted to go home.
"So please stay in bed until I can help you walk a little bit at a time." I nodded, very disapointed. I didn't ask for much did I? All I wanted was to go home. The lady bowed to me and walked out. Finally, I don't really like doctors too much. When she left I was a little happier, especially since when she did, Kenshin placed his hand back on mine. It seemed like every time that he touched me, I quivered. I felt rushed of air go down my spine, which made me squeeze his hand gently. He smiled when I did that. I love it when he smiles.
"I will stay here with you the whole time okay?" I nodded. I actually found someone that loved me like I loved them. If you have ever fallen in love then you know the feeling I had. The feeling that every time they kissed you, you melt all over. Like you don't even have bones in your body. That is how it felt when he kissed me. I felt like I was going to fall off the bed because I had nothing to hold me up. And I liked it.
I had to spend about a month at the hospital. Every day for about a week I was checked by the same tall dark haired nurse to make sure that the cut was healing. After that I had to start trying to walk again. That took me about a week as well. And once again the one taking care of me was the same dark haired nurse. She also helped me start running and swimming. Just like he promised, Kenshin stayed the whole time, never to leave my side. The feelings about him got stronger as every day went by. It got worse and worse until I couldn't even look at him without melting. "Kenshin?"
"Hmm?"
"How did you feel when you kissed me?"
"Like I was on top of the spinning world but I was melting." Tears began to fill my eyes. "What's wrong? Did I say something?"
"Yes, you said something perfect." I was glad that he felt the same way that I did. I knew then that this was real love. This is what my father died for. For me to experience love, the way he did with my mother many years ago.
Finally, after a month of testing and walking back and forth from one side of the room to another, I could go home. I was so happy, I was so tired of all of it, I wanted to be in my bed, in my home, with the one that I want to be with. When I was allowed to go home, Kenshin made sure that I didn't have to walk because he knew that I had walked enough for one month. He hired a carriage to take me home. He said that he had gotten his one day pay from the resaraunt and used it to get the carriage. Then the people there decided to help out too and they donated about one hundred thousand yen (a hundred dollars) for me to get what I needed when I went home. It was quite enough too.
When we got home Kenshin would not allow me to hop out of the wagon. No, he had to carry me over to my bed inside. It was as if he was my husband or something. Which was what I hoped would happen, for him to become my husband. Of course, life isn't that easy. You can't just wish for something to happen and it does. If it did happen like that then my father would still be alive, or maybe I was Ms.Himura. Unfortunately nothing is that simple.
Kenshin carried me into my room and then left. I didn't know where he went until he came back. Without saying a word he carried me once again, this time to bathroom. He had prepared a steaming hot bath for me to sit in. He took me to the side and set me down. "You can undress in private and I hope you can get in to the bath tub your self." He blushed a bit.
"Kenshin? You think you could help me?" I don't know why I asked him that, but I meant it too.
"Uh... umm.." He suddenly turned bright red, which looked innocent and cute.
"Please?" I stood up and put my hand on his shoulder, "I would like it if you helped me bathe." By this time I knew exactly what I was doing.

He leaned over and innocently took off my shirt, like he had never seen a woman before, well.. not like that. I followed what he did exactly, doing the same to him. At first he was a bit unexpected at me stripping him of clothes, then he bacame happy. After I was... well you know... he took me over to the tub and set me inside. As he was standing back up, I pulled him down to kiss him, and he fell in. The rest I leave to you and your imagination. I am not going to explain things that personal. I don't think Kenshin would appreciate that.
That was the way it all started. A serious relationship, that is.
