Chapter 3 ~
**********
Kaoru got out from the hot spring about 30 minutes later. She wrapped herself in a bathrobe and called for the servant.
"Yes , my lady?," one of them asked.
Kaoru whispered something in her ear.
"But my lady, that's not right," she protested.
"Let's keep this a secret," Kaoru replied with a wink.
The servants obeyed and left to get her what she wanted.
**********
Kaoru was dressed in a servant's clothes a moment later. A long sleeve top that join with a long skirt that reach her ankle. It was secured by a sash. It was all in pale yellow.
She tied her hair in a ponytail and proceeded outside.
She entered the kitchen. It was all crowded with servants and chef. It was tehn she bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry," Kaoru said with a bow.
"Nevermind. Are you new here?," the girl asked.
"Yes. I'm Kamiya Kaoru," Kaoru said with a smile.
"I'm Makimachi Misao," Misao said.
"Let me show you around here," Misao said with a smile as she pulled her towards a chef. It was a young lady.
"Hi Tae , this is Kaoru," Misao introduced her.
"Hi nice to meet you. I'm Sekihara Tae," Tae said with a smile.
"Anything I can help?," Kaoru asked with a smile.
"Sure. You can wash the vegetables," Tae suggested.
She nodded and proceeded washing the vegetables with Misao.
**********
Later that day, in the kitchen , during their lunch time.
"Have you heard about the lady?," a servant asked excitedly.
"You mean the one that His Highness brought back?," another asked.
"Oh my , couldn't His Highness look at me too? At least I'm prettier than her," another said with a frown.
Kaoru stared at them without a word. She was having lunch together with Misao and Tae.
"Don't care about them," Misao said while poking at her rice.
"They're always like that," Tae said as she shook her head.
"What did you say?," the servants shouted angrily.
"The truth," Misao replied mockingly.
"Hey. Stop that," Kaoru said angrily.
"Shut up you bitch," they shouted.
"I've got no time to play with you fools," Kaoru said as she continue eating her lunch.
**********
That night ,
"Kaoru , where are you going?," Misao asked curiously when Kaoru headed the other direction of the servants dormitories.
"I.um.have something to do," she replied nervously.
"alright , but becareful," Tae said worriedly.
"I will," she replied with a smile and left
Both Tae and Misao entered the dormitories without further question.
**********
She returned to her chamber and got changed into her usual clothes that dragged on the floor. She let down her hair and proceeded outside.
She was about to knock on Kenshin's chamber when the door opened.
"Where have you been?," he asked worriedly.
"Umm..somewhere," Kaoru replied with a smile.
He raised his eyebrow in a you-better-tell-me look.
Kaoru couldn't help but giggled.
"What's so funny?," he asked confusedly.
Your hair," she replied.
"Huh?," he asked again.
"You look like a girl when you let it down," she replied as she continue laughing.
He sighed and pulled her into his chamber to have dinner together.
**********
After dinner , Kaoru got up and left for her room. She got changed into a sleeping robe and seated herself in front of the mirror.
"I wonder what's Yahiko doing," she thought as she combed her waist long hair.
She braided her hair and got under the cover.
"I've finally got some friends," she thought happily.
Kaoru was not a happy girl in her school life. She doesn't have any friends at all. Most people were jealous of her fortune.
About an hour later , she got up.
"Mou , I can't sleep," she said to no one in particular.
She walked out of her room and peered into the emperor's chamber.
He was asleep in his bed. She smile wickedly to herself and walked into his room and close the door shut.
She walked towards his bed and got under the cover . She snuggled closer to him for warmth and smile happily before she fell into a comfortable sleep. Kenshin smile.
He had been awake afterall. He had heard her opened his room's door so he decided to pretend sleeping to see what she'll do.
He pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her waist as she remain sleeping. He smile as he too fell asleep a moment later.
It was strange that the only way he could sleep without any nightmare was when she was with him.
**********
The next morning , Kenshin awoke before she did. It was still early in the morning and the servants had not entered his chamber yet.
"Kaoru," he whispered at her ear as he still held her around his arms.
She awoke in an instant and blushed at her position.
"Good morning," she said softly.
"What's wrong? I thought you came over to me last night," he teased her as she blushed deeper.
"You're awake?," she asked angrily.
He nodded.
"You trick me," she yelled as she got out of the bed and started chasing him around. He laughed and avoided all the things that she threw at him easily.
They proceeded running out of his chamber into the other side of the palace. She threw herself on his back and he dropped to the ground still laughing.
She continue sitting on top of him pouting.
Unfortunately , the servants was just passing by to get on their usual work. They stopped dead in track when they saw the girl chasing His Highness. They stayed and watched until she seated herself on top of him.
"Kaoru , you love to attract attention?," Kenshin asked with a smile.
She gave him a confused look and look around her. There were about ten servants around them all staring in disbelief. Misao and Tae too stood there.
"Kaoru?," she called out softly.
"Misao," Kaoru greeted her as she got up from the emperor's back.
She blushed at the scene she caused.
The emperor got up too and the servants bowed to him respectfully.
"You know her?," he asked as he approached them.
"Hai," she replied with a smile.
"Do you realized that we're still wearing our sleeping robe?," he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh," Kaoru replied with a blush.
He pulled her back to his chamber to get dress. She cast a I'll-tell-you- later look to Misao and Tae and left.
The servants got up from the bow after they left. Misao and Tae were staring at them in disbelief. It seems that they're the only one who recognized her. since the other servants from the kitchen last night was not there.
**********
Kenshin and Kaoru got changed after a moment.
"How did you know her?," he asked curiously.
He was dressed into his usual golden robe while Kaoru dressed into a long crimson red dress.
She was bout to answer when the servants came in holding a basin of water. They bowed to him and remain by the door.
He took the cloth and dipped it into the water. He then proceeded wiping her face again.
"Hey , I'm not a child you know?," she asked stubbornly.
"Well , you look like one," he replied ignoring her protest.
"I'm seventeen already," she said angrily.
"Oh yeah? you look just like five to me," he teased her as he continue wiping her face.
She pouted as he laughed at her expression.
