Chapter 7 ~
**********
After the bath , she got up and wrapped herself with a bathrobe prepared by Misao. She walked to the other side of the screen where Misao had already prepared her her clothes.
She took hold of the clothes. Since they were going to town today , she was given a dress in a kimono like top and a long skirt that reached her ankle.
As it was quite a cold weather out there , she wrapped herself in another layer of robe similar to a michiyuki that reached her hip.
She was dressed in all plain white with a pair of peach colour shoes. Her hair was arranged into a bun with some bangs framing her rosy cheek.There were also a few chopstick in the bun.
"All prepared," Misao said happily as she jumped up and down.
"Thanks," Kaoru said with a smile and left the bathhouse with Misao following beside her.
She reached the emperor's chamber and knocked on it.
"In,"
She entered with a smile. He was dressed in dark blue robe with a sash. It was a simple yet comfortable looking robe. It looked nice on him. His hair as usual was in a high ponytail.
"Wow , you look different," Kaoru said as she examine him head to toe.
"You too," he replied smiling.
"You know fencing?," Kaoru asked curiously when she saw the sword on his left side.
He nodded with a smile.
"Let's go then," he said as he took hold of their luggage.
"Why are you bringing a luggage?," Kaoru asked in a confused tone.
"We're going for three days," he replied.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?," Kaoru asked with a pout.
"I told you," he answered calmly.
"When?,"
"A minute ago,"
Kaoru fisted her hands and gritted her teeth while Misao chuckled behind her.
"Oh ou,"
Kenshin realizing her anger quickly ran out of their chamber.
**********
They reached the town moment later. They got down from the horse as the town was too crowded for horses to pass by. They pulled the horse along the street. many peoples were staring at them. After all , not many people have horses. Only the rich.
"Where are we staying?," she asked excitedly.
"We'll find it later. Now are you hungry?," he asked with a chuckled.
She nodded. He took hold of her hand and led her into a nearby restaurant.
"Welcome," a lady greeted them with a smile and lead them to a seat by the balcony on the second floor.
"What would you like?," she asked politely.
"Aything," Kenshin answered with an expressionless tone. After all , he only showed his emotion in front of Kaoru and some other people like Sano.
"Alright. I'll decide," the lady said with a smile and left.
"Is something wrong?," Kaoru asked worriedly.
"Nothing," she replied with a smile and squeezed her hand.
She smiled and look out the balcony.
"What's that?," she asked excitedly as she pointed out the balcony where a large group of people were gathering.
"They're performer," he replied as he look at the direction where she pointed.
A moment later , the lady arrived holding a tray of chinese cuisine and tea. They ate the food while talking about stuff.
**********
After they ate , they left the restaurant. They continue pulling the horse on the street. There were amny vendors selling foods and woman stuff. A few ladies were ogling him as he walk holding Kaoru's hand.Some even winked to him as they walk pass them.
Kaoru let go of his hand and huffed. She walked ahead of him. He smiled at her reaction and caught up with her soon. She was standing in a big crowd watching the earlier performance.
"What made you mad?," he teased.
"Nothing," she replied.
"Jealous?," he asked with a grin.
She huffed and continue watching the performance. There were a few ladies dancing in the middle of the crowd wearing very revealing clothes. After the performance ended, peoples clapped happily. They started walking around collecting money from the watchers.
They stopped when they reached Kenshin. They were stunned by his beauty. This made Kaoru's ki rose up. They pushed Kaoru aside and took hook their hands around Kenshin's arms. Kenshin glared angrily at them when he saw that Kaoru had lost her balance and fell down when they pushed her none too gently.
His eyes turned amber as he rose his ki to a very high level pushing those women off him without touching them.
He knelt down beside Kaoru and touched her bleeding ankle. She winced and he quickly withdrew his hands. He picked her up and placed her on the horse in front of him. He glared at those women before he kick the horse and lost from their sight.
**********
"Are you okay?," he asked after they had seen the doctor. Her ankle had been wrapped with herbs.
"I'm fine," she replied with a smile.
He placed her on the horse as he pulled the horse guiding it along the street. He knew she would refused to call it a day even after her injury.
"I still can walk you know?," she said as she crossed her arms on her chest.
"Just rest," he said as he continue pulling the horse.
She pouted.
**********
Something caught her attention a moment later. She grin and got down from the house. Kenshin turned around and look at her.
"What are you doing?," he asked with a frown.
She simply grin and ran off to a nearby vendor. He sighed and followed behind her.
She stared at a piece of thin strap. It was a white ribbon with a tiny violet on the end of it. She turned to look at the other accessories when she felt someone pulled on the chopsticks on her bun causing her hair to tumble down her back.
"What are you doing?," she said with a pout. He simply smile at her and tied her hair up into a ponytail with the white ribbon she had been staring at She smiled as he paid the vendor.
She pulled on both his cheek.
"Oro" he said as he sweatdrop.
"Oro?," she said with a raised eyebrow. he blushed and she ran off laughing.
"Hey," he called out as he chased after her.
He caught up with her after ten minutes and placed his arms around her waist to prevent her from running away again.
She sighed.
"Don't you run off again," he warned her with a frown.
"Why?," she asked childishly.
"What if I lost you?," he asked again.
"Then go find your 3000 mistress," she said while smiling.
He sighed. After all , she was jealous.
**********
Night came.
"Where are we going?," she asked when she noticed Kenshin leading them into the forest.
He smiled down at her and continued their journey.
They reached the deep forest about 30 minutes later where there were a lake with bamboo tress around it. The moonlight was reflected on the lake beautifully.
"How did you know this place?," she asked curiously as they got down form the horse.
"I came here before when I was still a kid," he replied as he set their camp.
"I'm going to get some wood stay here," he said with a smile and left into the darkness.
**********
He came back a moment later carrying some wood. She had fallen asleep on the grass. He smile at the sight. He picked her up and place her in the camp while he set a fire outside the camp.
He entered the camp for some rest and noticed her shiver from the cold. He took off his cloak and draped it on her shoulder.
She awoke immediately. She was face to face with Kenshin .He was hovering over her form. She quickly got up from her position knocking him over.
He winced as he rub his forehead and nose.
"You gonna knock my head off," he said with teary eyes.
"You scared me," she yelled.
"Fine , fine,"
She yawned and laid back down and cover herself up with a his cloak. He smile as he too join her a moment later.
**********
Kaoru awoke the next morning. Kenshin was still asleep beside her.She smiled as she tiptoed to their luggage. She took out a blue dress similar to her s and headed towards the lake.
"It's such a nice morning," she said as she stretched.
She looked around her. Nobody. She undressed and got into the lake.
Kenshin awoke minutes later. He patted beside him. Nothing. She was gone. He got up quickly and headed outside.
