Amber Eyes
Chapter 14: Guess Who.
Summary Kaoru is still upset that she made Kenshin sick.
I felt the hands over my face, they were very cold, colder than Kenshin's but Kenshin had been sick so there was a good chance that it was him. "Kenshin?"
"Right." I felt him lean down and kiss me gently on the cheek. There was this urge inside of me, some feeling that I needed to tackle him, but he wasn't well enough from the looks of it. He was still pale white and he still felt cold.
"Kenshin!"
"Ah do you have to scream oyomesan?" He grabbed his head and closed one eye, I must have hurt his head when I screamed.
"You... you called me.. oyomesan....." tears weld up in my eyes.
"You cry to much my koishii, you have no need to be so sad. Of course I called you oyomesan, you are my bride are you not?" his voice was still a little weak and husky from him not using it very often in the past week. I was trying to hide my tears from him but they rolled down my face anyways. "Do not cry oyomesan," he held my face in his hands and wiped away my tears with his thumbs.
"Kenshin, you should still be in bed, you are still ill."
"I know, but I saw you sleeping and I wanted to surprise you with my wakening." he smiled at me, like he knew that I had wished that the whole time he was asleep.
"I love you Kenshin, I am so sorry that I made you sick. It was all my fault."
"What are you talking about?"
"The food, the food I fed you before you got sick, it was on call back and I bought it. He never told me Kenshin, I should not be your oyomesan.''
"You are acting like a fool. You had no idea. Besides, at least it tasted good." he laughed trying to cheer me up. It worked too. He must not have expected me to grab him like I did because he almost fell down when I did.
"Kenshin." he settled down his feet so that he could stand properly and petted my head. Gently running his fingers through my hair and rubbing my back with his other hand. He got weaker in my arms as I let him lean on me to get back to the bed. He was still well enough to keep his eyes open, but he couldn't stand for long from the looks of it. "You lie down and rest for a little my shinrou." He nodded, becoming happier that I had finally claimed him as my groom.
"I refuse to go to sleep Kaoru." I nodded smiling, once Kenshin makes up his mind about something, he doesn't change it, and I knew it by then. He touched his face as I leaned down to kiss his pale cheek. "I wouldn't mind another one of those though, that I wouldn't." his smile, the same grin that had always been able cheered me up, came back to reclaim its title.
"Not until you get better my little Kenshin." trying to comfort him seemed to come easily as if I had went through some kind of 'lovers training' or something. Looking around I noticed that Megumi was not in the room. "Where did Megmi go?"
"Hmm? Oh the nurse? She had to go home to get her husband, he said that he and I would get along and she wanted me to have some male form to talk to. You know she talks very odd, that woman."
"Kenshin? Did Megumi pitch such a fit over you going home while you waited for me to get better?"
"Yes." he laughed. "But I refused to go until you went with me, she bugged me every day. Why do you ask?"
"Oh.. nothing, I just know how you feel now." We broke out into laughter and almost rolled over in excitement, but everything became serious when he went into a coughing fit. "Kenshin... Kenshin are you okay?" I tried to help by patting his back so that everything that was to be in his way, was to be gone.
"I am.... cough okay. I just got to worked up thats all." He looked up at me with his goofy little grin as if it was in some way attractive. It looked like a beaten up child's grin when he didn't want to get into trouble for fighting. The goofy little grin that you can almost never say no to.
"Are you sure?" weakly he nodded and I left my hand on his back. The two of us jumped up startled at the knock at the door. "Who is it?" my voice was squeaky from the sudden noise made by the person on the other side of the door. No one answered, I did hear arguing on the other side of the door though.
It was muffled as if they were trying to whisper the whole argument. "Don't startle him you dope, he is supposed to rest, you startle and he will go into a coughing fit."
"Well you should have told me that sooner."
"You should have known."
"How could I have known?" the voices slowly got louder as they continued their argument.
"Who is there?"
"Umm.. Ms. Kamiya, it is Megumi, I brought a friend for Kenshin." It was a little odd hearing her talk about him like he was a kind of pet.
"Come in Ms. Megumi." I bowed to her and looked up to see her tall, bandit looking husband.
"Sanosuke Sagara, nice to meet you Ms. Kamiya." he looked down at me with his big brown eyes and his hair looking like the top of a chicken.
"N-nice to meet you Mr. Sanosuke."
"No need for that mister stuff... just Sanosuke." He walked over to the bed and punched Kenshin on the arm. "You sick huh?"
"Unfortunately yes. I don't really enjoy staying in the hospital though."
"Well, that fox lady over there might seem mean but she is not as bi- "
"That's enough chicken head." I couldn't help laughing at the insult coming from the man's lover.
"Will you stop calling me that?" she shook her head sarcastically as if he knew what she was going to say. "Now, you see what you will live through later?" His eyes turned towards Kenshin.
"Yes, I know. Luckily I have a woman who doesn't insult me like her." Sanosuke shrugged and looked back at me. "That is my oyomesan." Kenshin talked to me as if I was his pride and joy, as if I was the most valuable thing he had.
"She is a pretty one. By the way, I am Sanosuke Sagara, I am unfortunate enough to be the husband of your nurse over their." Megumi looked at him with an evil glare. He would pay for that remark later and he knew it. When he saw her eyes he only laughed, acting like he wasn't scared of her at all. "From what I hear, Kenshin, you used to be a samurai."
"Yes, that would be so."
"Well, I have a sword too. It is probably much bigger than you would imagine though. It is called the Zanbatou. well it was before-"
"Will you stop blabbering about that peice of junk?" Before he knew it was coming he had been hit over the head by Megumi's hand.
"Ms. Megumi, now that I think about it, when can Kenshin come home?" she looked down at me, much calmer than how she had been with Sanosuke.
"When the color returns to his cheeks and he can stay stood or walking for at least and hour. I doubt that will be any time soon so if I were you then I wouldn't count on it being anytime soon."
"Kaoru, how about we have our wedding in the winter, that way we I can be healed when we are married, besides, mt. Fuji is beautiful in the winter as well." it really didn't matter to me where we got married anymore, this experience made me realize that I was just happy to have him around.
"So, you haven't set an exact date yet I guess. Well when you do don't forget to invite me, but you don't have to invite fox over there." he was hit across the head again when I realized that the first invitation that I made was still in my pocket.
"Oh, uh here, I will tell you the date when we get it settled, but here is the invitation. You will come right?"
"Of course, after all, you remind me of a younger and much nicer version of that woman in the corner, you know, the one pretending to be a nurse." I laughed at him, it was as if he was trying to get hit that way he could cheer us up. "Okay, I guess she can say she is a little sweet."
"You are pushing it Sagara."
"I try." Would Kenshin and I become like this couple, they did love each other, we could tell that. We also noticed that they were a lot like us in younger form. I hoped that we could live up to how much they loved each other. That was my goal.
(A/N Ugh, I like working on this but at this time I apologize for any errors of any kind, I am half asleep)
