Chapter 12
The 26th day of the 7th month.......
Kaoru awoke and patted the space beside her. It's empty.
She opened her eyes and frowned. He had left her again. She sighed as she got dressed. Just then , a servant came in greeting her a good morning.
"Could you get me a simple dress please?," Kaoru asked politely.
The servant looked at her confused.
"I'm going to the kitchen today," she answered with a smile.
The servants quickly bow and left to attend to her need.
"Misao," Kaoru called out cheerfully almost scaring her with the volume.
"Kaoru I bet you're gonna scare me to death someday," Misao said with a frown and a hand place on her chest.
"Heehehhe sorry.....," Kaoru said with a grin.
"So what brings you here?," Tae asked as she joined them.
"Just thought to be visiting you girls and helping in the kitchen," she replied as she started helping them washing vegetables.
"You know, His Highness wouldn't like it," Tae said as she stood beside her while rolling up her sleeve.
"Don't bother about him," Kaoru said with a smile.
"Did you guys get into a fight or something?," Misao asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Huh? Of course not. What I mean is that he's not a person who will not allow me to do what I like," Kaoru said with a smile.
Both Tae and Misao smile at that.
Kenshin was sitting by the lake alone deep in thought.
'If only I was able to save you'
He sighed.
July 26th was the day that changed his life forever.
'Sakura , Akane , Kasumi'
It was almost sunset and yet Kenshin was not back yet.
Kaoru was sitting alone on the bench in the garden opposite his chamber.
She had been waiting for almost an hour now. She sighed.
A few minutes later , she got up and headed towards the other side of the palace into his office.
When she reached there , he was not there.
"Where is him?," Kaoru asked the guard outside the office.
"His Highness had only been in here for about 2 hours since he arrive in the morning," the guard replied with a slight bow.
She was beginning to get worried. He had never left her alone like this.
She headed back to his chamber in hope of finding him there.
She reached there and pushed the door apart.
"Kenshin," she called out happilly as she run towards him.
His back was facing her while he sat on the table in the middle of his chamber.
"Where have you been? I was worried," she said in a soft tone.
He remained silent.
"Is something wrong?," she asked a she place a hand on his shoulder.
"Nothing is wrong," he replied as he shrugged his shoulder away from her hand.
It hurts. His action hurt her.
"You could always tell me your problem Kenshin," she said with a soft smile trying to hide her pain.
He ignored her.
"Ken....,"
"I said that there was nothing wrong!!," he yelled angrily.
"Ken.....shin?," her voice was so soft he barely heard it.
"I need to be alone," he said in a cold tone just before he turn around to face her with his angry amber eyes.
But the sight of her made him regret what he had just said to her. Her eyes were red with tears. She was trying hard not to cry. Her cheeks were flushed.
"I am only worried about you," she whispered just before she turned on her heels and ran out of the room her tears falling behind her.
He gasped.
'What have I done?'
"Misao," Kaoru called out as she ran towards her friend and hugged her tightly.
Misao was shocked. What was causing her to cry like that?
"Kaoru what happened?," she asked trying to stop her tears.
"Kenshin......he hates me now," she replied as she cry even harder.
'Mou....what is that baka doing hurting her like this? It was just this morning that she was talking about him happilly'
"Kaoru it's alright," Misao comforted her.
Just then Kenshin voice echoed throught the empty corridor. He was calling for her.
Kaoru gasped.
"Misao I don't wanna see him now," Kaoru said as she pulled away from Misao.
Misao nodded and ushered her towards the back door of the maid chamber.
Seconds later , Kenshin came barging into the maids chamber.
"Where's Kaoru have you seen her?," he asked worriedly as he gripped onto Misao's arm.
"Oww....it hurts. What do you want from her? You hurt her," she yelled angrily completely forgotten his status.
"I'm sorry please tell me," he begged with sad eyes.
Misao felt sorry for him and pointed towards the back door.
Kenshin thanked her and left right after Misao shouted
"Make her cry again and I'll make you suffer no matter who you are!!!"
She was running. She ran and ran until she tripped and fell. Her tears just won't stop. The only person who care for her hated her now.
She wanted so much to just disappear and never to come out again.
Her chest hurt. It's getting harder for her to breath.
The last thing she saw before everything went black was the lake.
He ran and ran. There was no sight of her. The palace was huge.
'Where have you been?'
Suddenly , memories flooded him.
The lake.
He ran towards the lake with his god like speed. He gasped when he saw her laying on the cold grass unconscious.
"Kaoru," he yelled as he quickly scooped her up.
Her cheeks were cold and she wasn't moving. Her breathing was irregular too.
He rush her back to his chamber praying for her to be alright.
Kasshin sorry I left it there......there'll be no review response now....
it'll be on the next chapter.....I'm tired.....many things had
happen in this 2 months....sorry for the late update....i'm exhausted.....
