Ps. Thanks for people who has supported me by giving reviews. Your efforts are appreciated!!!!!
Kaoru stared at the wall. Her eyes were blank yet her mind is filled with disturbing thoughts. For the past few days, she had been keeping a good distance away from Kenshin, do the cooking properly, teach at the dojo The usual routine of her life but with less 'feelings' . Days seem to pass by like falling leaves during autumn. Dry, empty, grey. Oh, I should've know that Kenshin will not be interested in me, Kaoru thought. I'm too stupid, immature, temperamental, childish, self-centred................
"Now, now Kaoru, do not think of yourself such low personalities."
A woman voice. Not unfamiliar. Kaoru turned her head, and then smiled. It's Megumi.
"Megumi-san! What are you doing here?"
Megumi winced at seeing Kaoru in this state. She's used to see Kaoru as an angry, happy and overactive type of girl.
"What did those idiots do to you? You look pathetic, no offence."
"No, it's my fault actually. I....."
"Stop. I know the story."
"You do?"
"Yep. Kenshin told me. That's why I came here to 'make you fell better'."
"Oh." She buried her head and Megumi could hear tears being dropped. She hugged Kaoru.
"Oh Kaoru, please don't cry. I hate it when you do it. It makes you look so weak."
"But...." She sobbed. "How can I not cry, when my heart's broken?"
"Huh?"
"Kenshin said he hates me on that night. HE HATES ME!!!" Kaoru howled.
"There, there. It's all right. Kenshin would not say such a thing. You must have misheard."
"I'm not. I heard it perfectly. He said 'daikirai' to me. Do you know how much that word stung me?"
"Yes, yes I know. But I'm sure Kenshin said that without thinking. And don't you dare try to come back with another stupid remark" when Kaoru made a face. "Cause I'm here because Kenshin wanted me to get you. He's too shy. That guy is soooo unromantic." Megumi pointed to a very big tree near the edge of the dojo. Kenshin was standing there, playing with his sword. A VERY rare show.
Kaoru made a slight smile. "Tell me about it."
Megumi pulled Kaoru up. She looked at her from bottom to top and grinned.
"Now my Kaoru, you are going to meet Kenshin and......do whatever."
"But I'm not at my best." Kaoru whined.
"Don't be such a whiney. Go get him girl!" With that, Megumi shoved Kaoru into Kenshin's direction.
Kaoru ran up to Kenshin. He was crossing his legs, with his hair untied and his sword in front of him. Kaoru couldn't help but noticed his bright amethyst eyes. They're so beautiful, Kaoru thought. And those lips. Could I someday touch it with mine? She brushed the thoughts away and said.
"Megumi told me you want to see me."
"Yeah." Kenshin looked at her. Kaoru wants to ease the awkwardness between them and just go back to being friends again.
"So.....why d'you want to talk to me?
There seems to be a very long pause. Finally Kenshin stood up and faced Kaoru. Kaoru could smell his body. He smells like lavender,
"I want to say I'm sorry for yelling at you. I don't know what's coming into me and I really want to make it up to you. I guess I'm really worried that you're gone I started to act like a bitch."
Kenshin, worried about me?
"Kaoru, I need to tell you something. I've been keeping it for a long time but you have to promise me one thing. Promise me that you will not hate me after I said this word."
Kaoru gulped. What's Kenshin gonna say?
"ai shii ter ru" I love you.
Did I hear that right?
"I really love you Kaoru, since the first time I met you. You look so independent and strong. You can take care of yourself. And when I saw you fight that night, I'm seeing an angel fought like a.....devil. It was really...remarkable. But I'm scared."
"Scared?" Kaoru's voice came out in a whisper.
"I'm scared that another will take your heart and you will leave me."
Kaoru stared at him. This can't be true. Kenshin, the famous 'hitokiri batossai' is loving Koru Kamiya?
Kenshin held Kaoru's arm.
"I don't want you to leave my side, ever."
And he kissed her.
That was the longest kiss Kaoru ever had. It was gentle, yet passionate. Kaoru held Kenshin tighter, and Kenshin did the same. Together, they clung on each other like children.
"Is there something I'm missing here?" Yahiko's voice appeared.
Kenshin and Kaoru let go of each other. Kenshin looked at Yahiko, who was grinning sheepishly. Not Kaoru though. She slams Yahiko to the ground and practically yelling "WHAT ARE U DOING HERE????"
Yahiko held his hands. "Take it easy, Kaoru, I was just taking a small peek at our hot new couple."
Kaoru and Kenshin blushed. "Yahiko........" Kenshin tried to say something but Kaoru's already chasing yahiko, who is now laughing like a madman, around the house, until Megumi stopped them and drag them inside the house. Kenshin looked at the peaceful family he had been living for 3 years and smile in spite of himself. I am right to choose this family, he thought. They're so much fun!
He followed the screaming Kaoru as she was lifted by Sano and take a last look at the beautiful sunset.
Another day has gone, another night follows.
I can't really spell the words. I knew it from my friend and I'm a very forgettable person. Sorry if I spelt it incorrectly.
