Kenshin's Chick: Hello everybody! Long time no see guys.

Dragon: Well technically they can't see you and you can't see them.

Foxy: Oh come on Dragon, they know what she means. Lighten up a little. Don't be so um . . . um . . . .

Chapter 1- Memories and Fear at Ease Kenshin stared lovingly at the woman that lay beside him. The sunshine from the rising sun coming through the window was reflecting off his wife's raven colored hair. It seemed to make her pale skin glow. Her body breathed in and out slowly, so at peace. A smile seemed to be upon her lips. The twenty nine year old man was still in shock and awe of it all. It had been a year ago or so since he had met Kaoru. He had believed he would never love again or have someone love him. Yet here he was, married again and couldn't have been happier.

Eleven years before now he had gone out with his sakabato to seek answers for sins. He had saved may lives since then after killing so many people. Still he had not felt as if he knew the answer. But now here with Kaoru on their honeymoon he knew he had found his answer. All that was left was to pass on the way he had found his answer to someone else who was seeking answers.

A slightly cold wind blew a couple strands of hair into Kaoru's face. Kenshin moved them behind her ears softly with his hand and smiled.

He knew they should get up and start with their trip around Yokahama that they had planned for the day. The futon felt so comfortable though. Besides, Kaoru was with him and it was their honeymoon. It wasn't like he had to get up and fix breakfast this morning or anything. They had all the time in the world.

In her sleep Kaoru suddenly shivered and said Kenshin's name. He pulled the blanket closer around them and held her very close to keep her body warm. The early morning was a bit chilly, he noticed. Although they were next to a sea port so that could just be it.

Kenshin kissed his wife on her warm forehead and she stopped shaking and relaxed. It was as if she had been just making sure he was there. The samurai smiled at this. Many times during the morning he had made sure she was there as well. They were both so worried that this was all a dream and the day and night before hadn't happened.

~*Flashback*~

"May Buddha have blessings on your marriage. You may now kiss the bride." The priest said.

Kenshin and Kaoru smiled at each other and then kissed. This was it. The time they had been waiting for. They were now going to be husband and wife. Now they didn't have to hold back their feelings.

"Kenshin and Kaoru. Whewwww! What a hot couple!" Yahiko yelled. The couple turned to their friend and laughed happily walking towards the carriage that Sano had ordered to come and pick them up.

He was just slyly smiling at them. Kaoru thought that was nice that Sano was smiling until she heard from Kenshin why he was smiling. Yeah he was happy for them truly but he was also thinking like a twenty year old. Hintai, Kaoru thought as he told them to have a fun night and a couple more. Even though she was mad at him she blushed and just looked at and followed her husband hand in hand towards the carriage.

Megumi stood beside Sano. Kenshin was very surprised to see her crying. It was a very unlike her thing to cry at a wedding. He noticed that Sanosuke put his arm around the woman and she cried into his chest. Kaoru knew why she was happy though, for she had had the talk with Megumi about how Kenshin needed Kaoru as his wife and it would be his only cure.

"It's nice to see their getting along that it is." Kenshin said helping Kaoru into the carriage.

"Yes," she said with a smile, "Hopefully that means that they'll get along while we're gone. The house and the dojo should be in one piece when we get back if that is the case. Unless of course Yahiko provokes them and they get in a fight." The girl looked out the window with worry when she sat down beside her husband.

Kenshin sat beside Kaoru and looked at his young wife in her wedding ceremonial kimono. He himself was wearing his same outfit he always wore. Kaoru had requested it, even though he had suggested wearing something else. The samurai was curious why she had requested it but did not ask.

"Don't worry." He said holding her hand. She turned away from the window and looked into the lavender eyes. "It will be all right. Do not worry Kaoru-anata."

"Where to boss?" the driver said breaking the moment.

"To the train station please." Kenshin answered without moving his gaze from his wife.

As they started to move their friends started to say their goodbyes.

"Bye Auntie and Uncle!"

"Yeah, goodbye Auntie and Uncle!"

"Don't get hurt you two cause I won't be there!" the Dr. said.

"See you soon." Yahiko said laughing and waving crazily.

"Have a good time you two." Megumi said in between sobs.

"Don't you get too into the honeymoon and not come back." Sano said with a perverted smile. At this Kaoru noticed Yahiko and Kenshin turned as red as she did.

"When we come back Sanosuke I am going to get you for that!" she screamed putting the upper half of herself and fists outside back at the young "man".

Kenshin pulled her back inside the carriage and they left for Yokohama. They would be staying there for a couple of days.

~*End of Flashback*~

With a smile Kenshin remembered that they had had a goodnight (K.C.: *cough*). He just hoped Sano didn't ask about it. It was between him and his wife. Kenshin laughed at this picturing Kaoru beating up Sano with her bamboo sword and calling him a hintai during it all. It was not hard to picture at all.

Kaoru yawned and her eyes opened slowly. She saw Kenshin lying there holding her in his arms. He was staring at her with a smile. The red morning sun made his red hair even redder.

"Good morning Kaoru-anata." He said.

She smiled at him. "So it was all real. It did happen and your still here with me."

He kissed her and then whispered in her ear pulling back the raven hair. "And I won't ever leave you again. I promise that."
