Red rose

By: Blackz

The two figures headed to town. The street was busy and they watched as many stalls were busy. They walked and walked. Kenshin looked at Kaoru's impression. Her face is...happy but there was awkwardness somewhere behind that lovely smile.

Kaoru tried as hard as she can to enjoy this moment with Kenshin but her mind always drifted about the kiss they shared that morning. She felt tears running up her eyes.

"Kenshin..can I go over there? Could you wait for a second?" choked Kaoru. She ran to the nearest stall and soon lost in the crowd of people.

Is that tears I see in her eyes? Oh Kaoru... did I did something wrong? I'm sorry... Kenshin felt like his heart just shattered into a million pieces.

Someone tapped Kenshin's shoulder. He turned around and came across an old man carrying a bunch of roses on his back. "You are celebrating Valentines Day?"

Kenshin shook his head. "Then here..give this rose to your valentine! Its romantic if you give that to that certain someone." smiled the old man. Kenshin accepted the single rose and put in his pocket. He decided to give this to Kaoru tonight.

Kenshin looked around for Kaoru. Her beautiful figure still not been seen anywhere. The handsome red-haired man sighs. Where in the world is his angel? Kenshin walked to the nearest shop. The shop was decorated with English furnishings. The shop is small but it still looked elegant. Kenshin went into the shop. (To my reviewer: (Foreverluv) I think you just read my mind.. ) He browsed the things in the shop. After a few minutes of browsing, Kenshin was so bored. He almost exited the shop when he came across a gold ring with a blue gem on it. He looked at it for a few minutes. The owner noticed this and tapped him on the shoulder.

"I presume that you were attracted to this lovely ring, sir?"

"Yes.."

"It's sapphire. This gem is very rare."(Actually I don't know that sapphire are rare or not)

"Yes..it is rare..."

"So sir..do you wish to purchase this item?"

Kenshin smiled. Now his plan is perfect.

Kaoru ran through the sea of people. The town never been so crowded before. Tears were already running down from her cheeks. Kaoru found a bench and seated herself. She cried and cried. She felt so guilty. "How could I do that to him.." mumbled Kaoru.

A red-haired man was searching his lost angel everywhere. Then, he saw her crying on the bench. "Kaoru, what's wrong?" Kenshin cupped her face. She turned her face away and nodded her head, apologizing. "I'm sorry Kenshin. I'm so tired. Can we go back now?" There was hurt in Kenshin's eyes. But, the man just smiled and nodded. They want back to the dojo.

That night, the dojo was empty only left Kaoru by herself. After her outing with Kenshin, she never talked to the man. Yahiko was busy helping at the Akabeko because they were promoting a special candle light dinner just for this special day. Kaoru looked for Kenshin all over the dojo. There was no sign of him. She sighs. She retuned to her room when she noticed a single red rose and a note lying in front of her room.

Kaoru read the note:

Dear Kaoru,

Meet me at the lake tonight. I have something to tell you. I'll will wait for you...

Love,

Kenshin

A smile crept on her lips. Kaoru smelled the rose. She changed her clothes and headed to the lake.
