Author's note: This is a Kaoru/Kenshin fic. Well, honestly, I prefer
battousai rather than rurouni but some people prefer the rurouni. Oh well..
Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~ Suddenly a small hand touched kaoru's shoulder making kaoru jumped. Then, she saw a girl. About 7 or 8 years old with raven hair and sapphire eyes. She just smiled and said, "Hi miss. What are you doing here?"
Kaoru stuttered, "Uhmm.. I am a wanderer.. I have no place to go.."
The girl spoke, "Hehehe.. You can live in my house.. I'm sure mommy and daddy will allow that. By the way, my name is Kaoru. Kamiya Kaoru.. What's yours?" ~~~~~~~~~~
Kaoru was shocked. She could feel her heart skipped a beat.. or was it two.. 'This is me? Oh shit.. I never thought I will meet ME here.. But maybe, I can live in her place.. Yup.. Oh, she's so kawaii! Of course she's kawaii, she's me!' she thought and grinned inwardly.
"Hello.. excuse me miss.. Miss!" the little kaoru shouted when she saw Kaoru was staring at particularly nothing.
"Uh.. what? Oh.. My name? It's Kao.. No.. It's Saori.. Umm.. Myojin Saori," said Kaoru with a smiling face.
Little kaoru's face lit up with excitement and she tugged Kaoru's kimono. "Follow me, Saori-neechan."
So, the two Kaorus walked along the dirty path. Along the way, little kaoru chattered every minute about her otousan. Kaoru was getting nervous when they nearly reached Kamiya Kasshin Dojo. She's gonna meet her dad again after a long time. She missed him every single second of her life since he passed away.
************
"Tadaima!" Little Kaoru said.
"Okaeri, Kao-chan," said a low voice but there's a loving tune in it. Then, out of the darkness, came the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu master.
"Otousan!" Kaoru exclaimed. She cannot hold her tears anymore. So, she cried. Kaoru's heart shouted in happiness and joy and love, there are no words to describe it. She wanted to hug him and kiss him and tell him how much she misses him.
"Otousan? Who are you?" asked Kaoru's dad confused. (What's his name? I forgot. :P)
"Oh sorry, Kamiya-san. You looked like my father. He passed away. I'm sorry for my misbehaviour. I'm really sorry," Kaoru apologized with her head bowed down.
"Oh it's okay. I'm really sorry about your dad. What's your name, miss?"
Kaoru could feel a tingle of sadness in her heart. It feel sad when your own father didn't know your name. But hey, you can't blame him to not expect a grown-up lady to be his daughter when she should be 7 years old. "My name is Myojin Saori. I am a wanderer. I have no place to live," Kaoru replied.
"Please let her live with us, daddy! I like her!" little kaoru begged.
"Very well, Myojin-san. You can live with us. There's plenty of rooms here. Let me show you where your room is," Kaoru's dad showed her around the house.
Kaoru knew the house very well as she has lived here for all her life but just acted as if she doesn't know. The house doesn't change a bit. Kaoru just smiled.
************ (In her bedroom)
'It is so nice to meet daddy again. This place reminds me of them again. Yahiko.. Sano.. Megumi.. Ayame and Suzumi.. Dr.Genzai.. .. Kenshin.. Oh! I'm so stupid! How am I gonna find tomoe-san.. I don't even know how she looks like! I really have to move fast if not.. Kenshin might die miserably without his love, tomoe.. Kenshin..' Kaoru thought. With that, she went to sleep with a single tear running down her cheek.
Then, an image of a beautiful young woman wearing a white kimono came out of the dark. She was standing with her face showing no emotion. And suddenly, a background of a house formed. Kaoru who stood in front of the woman asked, "Who are you?" But the woman just stood there as if she didn't hear Kaoru's voice.
"Tomoe..," a voice spoke. Kaoru turned around to see battousai standing behind her with his bloody hakama and gi. Time seemed to stop when Kaoru looked straight into Battousai's amber eyes. Battousai started to walk towards tomoe but what surprised Kaoru the most was that he walked pass through Kaoru's body!
Then, all the images of tomoe, battousai and the house faded one by one. Kaoru just stood there in the darkness with a smile on her face, "Now I know how you look like. I will surely find you.. Himura Tomoe."
************
A week has passed since Kaoru lived there. She has been working hard to find the information on where do Tomoe lives. At last, she know the place. A kind old lady was selling apples and Kaoru bought it. She smiled to the lady and the old lady began to say, "You are a very pretty lady. As pretty as Tomoe-san, but you smiled a lot which makes you even more prettier than her."
Kaoru blushed but then realized that this old lady knew Tomoe. "Excuse me, obasan. But do you know where Tomoe-san lives? I'm her childhood friend and I come here to meet her. But I'm lost so, can you show me the way?"
The old lady then bring kaoru to Tomoe's house. The house was exactly the same with the house Kaoru had dream of. 'I cannot meet her now. She musn't see my face. I guess tonight is will be a very good timing. But.. will Kenshin be here?.. I have to be careful not to meet him!"
Kaoru thanked the old lady and went shopping for a mask. She bought a black veil. "Perfect! I can use this to cover my face!" Kaoru said.
************
The night has come and Kaoru has prepared. She wore a black ninja style clothing (she bought it with the children's money she has stolen in Cp.1! Those children really have a lot of money!) and the veil which covered her face except for her eyes. She also bring along a bokken she took from the dojo.
She sneaked out of the house as quietly as she could. 'Not to make a single sound," Kaoru thought while concentrating on her steps. As she got out of the gate, she sigh out her relief. 'Phew.. That's not so hard.. Okay.. Now, to go and meet Tomoe..'
Kaoru ran as fast as she could through the quiet road of Kyoto. Everyone was asleep. Every second passed and Kaoru felt her heart kept thumping faster and faster. She was now really scared. What if she didn't make it? What if she met Battousai on her way and he killed her? What if Tomoe didn't listen to her?.. And the question that she feared the most was.. 'Am I making the right decision?' She has to stop thinking negative things. Of course she has made the right decision. Kenshin needed Tomoe and so, Kaoru will do anything to make them together again. 'This is for you.. Kenshin'
Kaoru has come to the place where life and death will be decided. Kaoru hold her breath and weaken her ki just in case Battousai was there. Kaoru felt pain welled up inside her belly. She could also feel her heart pumping so hard, it seemed that it can bounce out of her chest.
Kaoru peaked through a window and saw Tomoe sitting alone in her room. Kaoru could not feel Battousai's ki and she thanked God for that. Kaoru then kicked the front door open and this surprised Tomoe. 'Oh God.. Please let her believe me.. Please.. Please help me..,' Kaoru prayed silently.
"Who are you?" Tomoe asked without a single trace of emotion in her eyes. "What do you want? Are you a Shinsengumi?"
Kaoru was amazed by the beauty in front of her. Kenshin was right, Tomoe was a perfect lady. With her pale skin, black hair and grey eyes. (Her eyes are grey, right?) Kaoru snapped back to reality and spoke, "It's not important to know my name.. I am here to tell you that whatever you do.. Do not let yourself be killed.. Do not go back to your master because Ken.. Battousai will find you and he will fight your boss.. So, NEVER go back to your master.. Just tell Battousai the truth about who you are.. about your fiancé.. Because if you die, Battousai will be helpless.. Do you understand?"
Shock was written all over Tomoe's face. How the hell did she know about who I am.. Who is she? Tomoe said softly, "How do you know about me? About my job and mission and my fiancé? Who are you? And what do you mean by do not let myself be killed? How do you know Battousai so well? Please tell me.."
Kaoru was about to answer when she suddenly felt a strong ki coming. "I have to go.. I will answer your questions later.. I'll meet you again tomorrow here at the same time.. Do not tell Battousai about this meeting..," Kaoru ordered.
"Certainly.. miss..," Tomoe said.
Kaoru smiled. So, she know I'm a woman. When Kaoru was about to jump off the window, Kaoru whispered, "Tomoe-san, please make Battousai happy.." Kaoru then left.
Tomoe smiled weakly when Kaoru left, 'This girl is very strong and brave. I really wonder who she is.'
Then Battousai voice was heard, "Tadaima.." ************
Battousai was walking toward his house after a long night of killing the Shinsengumi. 'Those guys are so weak. I can kill the whole Shinsengumi with just one blow. Stupid people. Can't Katsura find me a better challenge? He's so..'
Before Battousai could continue his complaining, he sensed a ki in his house. He started to run. When he was right in front of the door, he heard Tomoe's voice, "Certainly.."
Battousai cannot hear the rest of the conversation clearly. Then he heard the person running away from the house. 'Who the hell was that? Should I chase him? Never mind.. How dare he come to MY house without my permission! If he dare to come again, I'll surely teach him some lesson."
Battousai then said loud and clear, "Tadaima.."
