Woo hoo! I have finally resolved myself to writing at least seven hours a
week. I wonder how long I can keep that promise to myself. XD
Nightmares And Dreamscapes- Chapter 3

"No..no..no..." Kaoru mumbled in her sleep. If one could call living through those nightmares 'sleeping'.
She saw Kenshin coming at her with his blade flipped. She wondered what she had done to upset him so. "My love..please, no..the only man I've ever loved. Please don't betray me.." She pleaded, and her words of love seemed to only make him angrier.
"I always hated it when you cried." He replied to her. That was the last thing she heard before she was slashed dead.
She woke up at that precise moment. "W-W-What.Why did I..Have that dream?" She asked herself, the sobs from her dream carrying over into the here and now, as she tried to stop. Before she could, however, Kenshin heard her and came in, though in a slight daze from lack of sleep.
"Kaoru-dono..What is the matter?" (A/N: I hate that honorific. *prods it*. Kaoru hates it, too..But Kenshin is still Kenshin. XD) He asked softly, rushing towards her and embracing her. "Don't cry.I hate it when you cry..." It was heart wrenching to watch her cry, it was true.
Kaoru, at those words, pulled away from him. It was the exact same thing he had said before. "I don't want to die, Kenshin." She was still in some kind of illusion.
He blinked at her pulling away motion, but decided not to ask. He took her into a lighter hug this time. "I know you don't.You don't have to worry about it with me around, that you don't.I will always protect you.."
Her eyes were cold, he realized, as he pulled away to dry her tears.
"It was you who killed me before." She replied to him softly.
His eyes widened, a frown crossing his features. "Kaoru-dono, it was only s dream, that it was..I love you, I could never kill you." He embraced her once more, tighter than ever. "Never." He repeated, remembering Tomoe's blood staining the snow covered ground. He would make sure he would never have to experience that again.
She seemed to blink out of her own thoughts. "I.I know." She replied. "I'm sorry. it was only a nightmare.." Her voice was shaky.
He smiled. "This one will keep watch over you, if it reassures you, Kaoru- dono. To make sure you're all right through the evening."
She smiled, trying to make him feel better. "Thank you.I'd appreciate it." She wrapped her yukata tightly about her frame, moving over on her futon to make room for him.
Both of them blushed, realizing what she meant.
"This one is not worthy, that he is not.."
She threw her hair ribbon at him. It landed loftily on his nose, and then fell off. "Oro?"
"Not like THAT, you hentai.." She seemed kind of disappointed in his somewhat odd thoughts. "With clothes on.." She rolled her eyes. "Is that all men ever think about?"
He cut her off calmly. "I know very well what you meant, Kaoru-dono. I am still unworthy.."
A large clap of thunder rang through the air. By the sound of it, the major part of the storm was not far off.
Kaoru whimpered, an almost 'sad puppy look' on her young though tired face.
He couldn't resist her look.
Somehow, they ended up side by side on the futon, Kaoru's head resting on his chest.
And his sakabatou was on the floor near him. He was finally relaxed enough to not sleep with it by his side.
Only with Kaoru..
