On with the story!
Chapter Nineteen
Kaoru looked up at Kenshin. "Kenshin?"
He finally looked down at her and into her eyes. "Kaoru?"
They both stood there, in the rain for a few moments. Kenshin wrapped his arms around Kaoru, very protectively. "Something isn't right, Kaoru. I can remember her. . . Tomoe. . .I remember everything about her except how I know her."
"Was she. . . your girlfriend?" Kaoru asked softly.
"No."
She nearly sighed in relief.
"She was my wife."
Kaoru's eyes widened and she stepped back from Kenshin. "You had a wife?" she asked.
Kenshin looked at her with sadness laced into his deep violet eyes. "Yes. . . I had a wife. How? I don't know. But I guess. . . it'll come to me. Just. . . let me hold you. . ."
Kaoru frowned silently, but went back into Kenshin's arms. He held onto her like the wind would wisp her away from him. Kenshin shivered.
Kenshin's eyes snapped open. "Did I just. . .No. . ."
Kaoru looked up at him. "What is it?" she saw his blue lips and her eyes widened.
"I'm. . . I'm so cold. . . it's so cold out here. . .I can feel the rain. . ." Kenshin whispered.
Tears bridged in Kaoru's eyes, and she shoved her face into Kenshin's chest and held him tighter. "Kenshin. . . I think you're turning into a. . ."
A sneeze interrupted her.
She looked up again. "Kenshin? Did you just sneeze?"
Kenshin's eyes crossed, then closed as he sneezed again. And again. . . and again. . .
Kaoru frowned, "Your body has never been this cold and wet at the same time. I don't think we should stay out here anymore. . ."
"No!" he cried. Then softened, "I want to stay out here a little longer. I've never felt the rain before. . ."
Kaoru nodded silently and held him close. 'Kenshin. . .' she thought.
They stood out there, silently, in the rain, for twenty minutes. Both Kenshin and Kaoru were freezing cold, and even though Kaoru was a real human, she wasn't as cold as Kenshin was.
Sanosuke watched from the window. "Any moment now. . ." he whispered. He was waiting for Kenshin's body to give out, and then he'd go out there and get them out of the rain. He still didn't know Kenshin was a robot, but he could see it clearly that Kenshin was a lot more colder then Kaoru was.
Finally, the moment he was waiting for came. Kenshin couldn't stop his shivering anymore. It felt. . . delightful to him, and yet. . . painful. Black dots overcame his vision, and the last thing he heard was, "Kenshin?" coming from Kaoru. His eyes dropped closed, and his body went limp.
Kaoru held him up for a moment, then rest him down on her lap. Sanosuke came running out. "I KNEW that would happen. . ." Sanosuke said.
Kaoru looked at him. "How?"
"Well. . . Jou-chan that's easy. He was clearly more colder then you. We need to hurry up and get you both inside, or you'll BOTH have colds. . ." He pulled Kenshin over his shoulder, and him and Kaoru walked inside to the warmth of the apartment.
Megumi frowned when she saw the soaked Kenshin. "Oh brother. . . why did you two stay out there so long?"
Kaoru laughed weakly. "Uhh. . . Kenshin likes the rain?"
Megumi remembered that Kenshin was a robot, then nodded. He had never felt rain before. "Let me help him. . . we need to get him in a warm bed. . . hustle up rooster head!"
"Alright alright. . . I'm going!" Sanosuke rested Kenshin down on a futon in Kenshin's own room and covered him up good and snug. "There ya go Kenshin. . ." he muttered.
Megumi nodded, "We should leave him alone for a while. . ."
"Well?" Sanosuke asked. "Aren't you going to give him any medicine or something?"
Megumi frowned at him. "There's no point in doing that. He'll recover on his own." She left the room.
Soujiro frowned, even with a smile on his face. "I hope Himura-san will be alright. . ."
"ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO REMEMBER ME????" Kaoru screamed at the top of her lungs.
Megumi looked at her, "Oh yah. . . nearly forgot you tanuki. . . sorry. . ."
"ARGGGG. . ."
"Don't worry. . . you'll be fine. . .just take this medicine. . ." -"Ewww!!! That's disgusting!!!"-"Yes I know it's disgusting, that's why I gave it to you. Now get lost. . . I mean. . . go on now. . .ohohohohoho!!!" Megumi laughed.
Kaoru fumed at her, but decided to go over and check on Kenshin. "Kenshin?" she whispered. She got down on her knees (don't worry she's dressed in warm clothes, as is Kenshin) next to Kenshin.
She watched his chest go up and down. . .up and down. . . it was very calming. Kaoru smiled. 'Are you really turning into a human, Kenshin? Well? Are you?' she wondered.
Kenshin's blood red hair was in his eyes, Kaoru could tell. She pushed them out of the way so she could see his closed eyes with those long eyelashes.
Up and down. . .up and down. . .
Kaoru lied down next to Kenshin, smiled, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. 'Kenshin had a wife. . . Would he have another?'
~*~
Utena opened her eyes to find herself in Enishi's strong arms. She sighed. 'Poor guy. . .' she thought. 'Oh well!' that was rather cheerful. . .
Enishi smiled down at her. "Good morning sleeping beauty."
"Oh ha ha. . ."
Enishi's smile widened. "What should we do today, I wonder?"
"I dunno, love. What do you want to do?"
Enishi looked down at her again. "Well we could. . ."
"Enishi!!!" the scream came from Tomoe's room.
Enishi's smile was lost as he ran down the hallway to Tomoe's room. "TOMOE!" he looked at her. She didn't look good at all. She had apparently just woken up. The sheets were all twisted around her on the futon, her hair was carelessly flung around her, her eyes were bloodshot, her face deathly pale. He ran over to her.
"E-Enishi. . ." she mumbled.
"It's alright. . . it's alright. . .just tell me where it hurts," he asked.
Tomoe pointed to her stomach.
"Your stomach eh? Want me to go get those pills Utena. . ."
"NO!" she cried.
Enishi's eyes widened with fear.
"I don't want those evil pills. . . they only make me feel worse!! Give me Advil. . . Motrin. . . something just NOT those pills for God's sake!!!" Tomoe burst out. She couldn't keep it in any longer.
Enishi was shocked. His sister had never had an outburst like that before. At least. . . not after Kenshin. . . died. ((AN: You'll find out someday. In good time people. . . all in good time. . . ^_~ I'm evil aren't I?)) He silently nodded, and ran to the kitchen to get Advil.
Utena watched in amusement, then decided to walk to Tomoe's room. She put on a concerned face. "Tomoe? Are you alright?"
Tomoe frowned at her, "Just what were those pills. . . anyway?"
Utena frowned back, "I don't know what you're talking about. . ."
"Those pills you've been giving me for a whole month. They haven't made me any better! You said they would!"
Utena pouted, "Oh but they have! You probably would be even WORSE without them!"
Tomoe glared daggers, "I don't believe you. . ."
Enishi rushed back with the Advil. "I'm back!!!" he cried. He came into the room to find Utena and Tomoe having a death-glare contest. "Uhh. . ." he muttered. He went over to Tomoe. "Here's the Advil. . ."
"Thank you Enishi." Tomoe took the Advil and dropped it down her throat. "Thank you. . ." almost immediately the pain in her stomach vanished. She smiled, rested back down and closed her eyes.
Utena glared. 'I'm going to have to get rid of those damn Advils. . . if I don't. . . she'll live!'
Enishi looked over at Utena with a concerned face. "What was all that about the pills?" he asked.
Utena smiled nervously, "Oh nothing really, my love!"
Enishi frowned. 'Something's wrong here. . . but I can't place my finger on it. . .Kaoru?' he wondered.
~*~
Misao sighed.
Soujiro sighed.
Misao looked over at Soujiro.
Soujiro did the same thing, but with an intense gaze.
Misao looked back down at the floor.
Soujiro did the same thing, but with guilt in his eyes.
Sanosuke burst out in laughter. "I'll leave you two alone for a while. . ." he grabbed Yahiko by the collar and dragged him to the boy's room.
"Hey! Sanosuke! What are you doing??" Yahiko yelled, but his yells were quite once they got into the boy's room.
Soujiro looked over at Misao. "Ano. . . Misao-dono?"
"Just call me Misao. Yes?"
Soujiro looked down, "Has anybody ever told you. . . you're a very beautiful girl?"
Misao looked at him and blushed. "Well. . . I. . ."
Soujiro scooted closer to her on the couch. "Well. . . I guess I just did, huh?"
Misao smiled weakly, "Yah. . .you just did."
They sat there in silence.
"And. . . has anybody ever told you. . . you have an amazingly beautiful voice?" Soujiro continued.
Misao looked at him again and blushed. "If you have something to say, say it."
Soujiro turned red. "Well. . . I don't like words very much. . ."
"Then don't speak, do something." It was almost like Misao was daring him.
Soujiro brought his eyes to meet Misao's. "Well. . .okay. . ." he leaned forward.
Misao knew what he was doing. 'But. . . but. . . Aoshi-sama?!?!?!?' her mind screamed. Another part of her said, 'Oh screw Aoshi. . .this guy is hot!' the other part said, 'NO NO NO!!!! Aoshi-sama!!!'
But she couldn't do anything other then close her eyes when Soujiro pressed his lips to her's.
Soujiro closed his eyes as well, and their first kiss was soft. . . and passionate.
Of course, Sanosuke forgot to drag one other person out of the room. Megumi watched with a LARGE smile plastered on her face from ear to ear. Laughter was doomed to come out of her, but somehow she held it in. Slowly and quietly, she walked out of the room and towards the girl's room.
The kiss felt like an eternity. Soujiro's tongue found it's way inside of Misao's mouth, and searching her felt like bliss. He had learned much from his former master, Shishio, about kissing, although he had never been kissed himself. Soujiro had watched Shishio and Yumi kiss many times before. . . Soujiro had left his master to find that kiss.
Soujiro lifted his left hand to touch Misao's chin, and his right hand to run through her soft creamy raven hair.
Misao couldn't help but kiss back. 'I think. . . I'm falling for him. . .' she thought.
Sanosuke couldn't stop Yahiko from coming out of the boy's room. Yahiko snickered and ran over to Soujiro and Misao.
The next thing they knew, they heard a VERY loud voice singing, "IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE! SO TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES!!!"
Soujiro and Misao immediately pulled back from one another, and turned to glare at Yahiko. Misao stood up, "Oh you're going to get it now, Yahiko-CHAN!!!!" she hurled a few punches at him.
Soujiro could only watch. "Maa. . . maa. . . Misao. . ." but he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Yahiko really ruined it. . . but at least it was as longer then he thought it would be. He thought Misao would reject him. But. . . she didn't.
Misao finished her beating-of-Yahiko and turned to look at Soujiro, a blush on her face. "Is that all you have to tell me?" she asked.
Soujiro smiled, "For tonight. . . yes. That's all. . . so far."
To Be Continued. . .

Chapter Nineteen
Kaoru looked up at Kenshin. "Kenshin?"
He finally looked down at her and into her eyes. "Kaoru?"
They both stood there, in the rain for a few moments. Kenshin wrapped his arms around Kaoru, very protectively. "Something isn't right, Kaoru. I can remember her. . . Tomoe. . .I remember everything about her except how I know her."

"I dunno, love. What do you want to do?"

"Enishi!!!" the scream came from Tomoe's room.
Enishi's smile was lost as he ran down the hallway to Tomoe's room. "TOMOE!" he looked at her. She didn't look good at all. She had apparently just woken up. The sheets were all twisted around her on the futon, her hair was carelessly flung around her, her eyes were bloodshot, her face deathly pale. He ran over to her.
"E-Enishi. . ." she mumbled.

"I don't want those evil pills. . . they only make me feel worse!! Give me Advil. . . Motrin. . . something just NOT those pills for God's sake!!!" Tomoe burst out. She couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Thank you Enishi." Tomoe took the Advil and dropped it down her throat. "Thank you. . ." almost immediately the pain in her stomach vanished. She smiled, rested back down and closed her eyes.
Utena glared. 'I'm going to have to get rid of those damn Advils. . . if I don't. . . she'll live!'
Enishi looked over at Utena with a concerned face. "What was all that about the pills?" he asked.
Utena smiled nervously, "Oh nothing really, my love!"
Enishi frowned. 'Something's wrong here. . . but I can't place my finger on it. . .Kaoru?' he wondered.
