As Kaoru woke up early in the morning she heard splashes of water. When she went outside she saw Kenshin washing his face. He had a different outfit on. He had a red kimono on. She then noticed something strange on his waist. I...i...it was..........a sword!!!
She knew right then that he was a swordsman. Kaoru was shocked and fear ran through her mind. "I guess I should've told you about that yesterday Lady Kaoru. I am sorry if I startled you, but would you like me to travel with you still?" asked Kenshin. "Of course, I always wondered what it would be like to travel with a swordsmen." Said Kaoru. "A rurouni to be exact." Corrected Kenshin. "Right, a rurouni."
As Kaoru packed all her stuff and loaded them on her horse, they were all set and ready to go. As they were ridding through the forest Kaorue asked, "Kenshin, how does it feel to be a ruruoni?" "Well Lady Kaoru, to tell you the truth it can be a gift sometimes but sometimes it could also be a curse." Answered Kenshin. "I see, why do you consider it as a curse?" asked Kaoru. "Well before I became a rurouni, I was an assassin serving the government. I was the...Hitokiri Battousai. Then Kaoru gasped. Being an assassin for the government meant that I had to kill. Before I didn't have a heart, I just killed innocent lives everyday. Until one day assassins killed my younger brother and younger sister and that was when I decided to become a rurouni and save peoples' lives to repay all sins of killing. That is why I think my skills as a rurouni or a swordsman is a curse and a gift.
That's why it's so hard to find the perfect mate. The one I love, because everyone knows me as the Hitokiri Battousi" Answered Kenshin. Kaoru looked down as if it was her fault to ask that question in the first place. Then Kenshin took his finger and lifted Kaoru's chin up and said, "Don't feel sorry for me Lady Kaoru. I'm just fine." Said Kenshin while smiling. As Kaoru gave him a warm smile, her lips and his lips finally met. She knew this was wrong and so did Kenshin but it seemed like they fell in love right that moment even though they only knew each other for a day. Their lips were so warm that it seemed like their whole body was on fire. As they parted they gave each other a warm smile.
