Chapter 8: Working Things Out

"I don't know where to go...I follow my heart to home. Lost in and eternity..." Isn't that a beautiful quote? lol. That's going through Kaoru's head right now...well anyways on with the story! lol

Kaoru was feeling pathetic...it was just the past Kaoru...just the damn past..GET OVER IT!

She was walking home......

I am stupid.

The most wrongest thing I have ever done in life...was give my heart to you...Kenshin Himura..

And it began to rain. (a/n she's guna start singing! =O so well yea. do you noe that song, every heart sung by BoA? yep yep. that's the song. here we go)

(a/n and that was Every Heart Minna no Kimochi brought to you by me the BoA fan. lol. no, i don't write song chapters, she was SINGING!)

Kenshin heard it all...this is all my fault...we would've had a better life....if the past wasn't so screwed up..

Kaoru walked along the pouring rain...she started walking fast, she was running...where am I going? Why is my body running....I think I'm guna...

Her body collasped to the floor.

Kenshin held onto Kaoru's hand. He was completely drenched but he didn't care. All he cared about was if...Kaoru made it out of the coma, alive.

Sano came running over to Kenshin from out of the mist.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED KENSHIN?"

"I don't know. Damn, don't yell at me." Sano was giving him that look. "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PERVERTED MIND THINKING?" I need to find a best friend that's not dirty minded.

"What are you standing there for lover-boy? We havta get this chic to the hospital." Kenshin seemed pissed off with Sano's way with words.

They were running when something slipped out of Kenshin's pocket. (a/n don't ask how he got a pocket, he just does okay? actually if i don't tell you what they're wearing, assume it's normal, lol.)

Sano picked it up. And he was shocked......Kenshin you idiot....this is your bracelet.....the bracelet....the one..where..DAMMIT! You've been holding onto this crap and just assumed it was another fucking bracelet. Sometimes you can be such a loser Kenshin. A BIG FAT LOSER. Kenshin was coming to a stop. He pointed to a big white building: the hospital.

"There Sano! We've made it." He saw something glint in Sano's hand. What is that? It looks so familiar...so familiar but I can't put my finger on it...actually I did hear something drop on the way here and my pants do feel kinda sagged....is THAT MINES? HELL NOOOOO. I'm not gay..GIRLS wear bracelets....Sano probably stole it from some girl...was....that..no.....it couldn't be....was it..Kaoru's?

Kaoru woke up. That dream....was so.....strange...so very strange...she could remember it clearly:

"Kenshin!!!!" He ran over to her and embraced her. "I thought you would choose Tomoe over me.." And she cried. He couldn't tell she was crying..it was raining.

"It's ok, Kaoru. I'm here now okay?" He soothed her.

"I am crying, Kenshin Himura. I AM CRYING cuz of you." This set Kenshin back.

"What did I do Kaoru?"

"There's always a beginning and an end to a story, it wasn't only you...it started with Tomoe, and ended with you. I HATE YOU HIMURA."

"Kaoru...." she looked up into his eyes...she loved him so much in that moment...what he said next made her cry even more.

"Yes, Kenshin?"

"There is always a middle." And then Kaoru began to cry. The tears over flowing. She choked between her tears.

"I will always love you."

(a/n i loved that dream, not that my opinion matters but WAS THAT THE BEST DREAM EVER?! lol.)

"KAORU!" Kenshin was holding her. She clonked him on the head.

"PUT ME DOWN!" Maybe her dream was trying to tell her something.....

"Hey good to see you're back to normal Kaoru." He patted her on the shoulder. Sano's voice. She could feel him slip something into her pocket. It dropped down from her shoulder into her chest pocket. What was it? Kenshin put her down rubbing his head.

"Be that way. I save you're life then you go and clonk me? IT WAS JUST A WASTE Of TIME." I don't really feel that way.

"Hey Kenshin......." Kaoru said in a singsong voice.

"Yeah?"

"YOU BETTER TAKE ME HOME!"

"Walk home, sheesh. You know the way." She gave him those sad puppy eyes. EH? He was held back... "Fine. Sano you can go home."

"Later Kenshin, later Jou-chan." Kaoru smacked him. That still pissed her off...like good old times. Kaoru hooked onto Kenshin's arm. Kenshin turned red.

"Let's go home Kenshin."

Flashback

"Hey Kaoru!" Kenshin waved to her.

"Yeah?"

"Can you come over here for a second?"

"Um...okay."

"Kaoru?"

"Yeah?" He held onto her tightly. She never felt more at home.

"I love you, Kaoru."

End of Flashback

They were nearing to her house. Kenshin felt her head on his shoulder. IS SHE SLEEPING? Kaoru looks so cute when she sleeps... He slowly picked up her legs and carried her home. Before she left into her house she kissed Kenshin on the cheek. A tinge of pink crossed his face. And then she left into her house. Leaving a very stunned Kenshin in the doorway.

Maybe we can work things out.
