"Kaoru..I think that there is something that I need to confess.I have held
it back too long..you need to know." Kenshin said seriously. Kaoru bit her
lip and looked at him.
"There's something I need to tell you too." Kaoru whispered as she leaned her head onto his shoulder. Kenshin was surprised at first, but then he swept her into a light hug. He held her close to him as his fingers lie entwined in her hair. He let out a little sigh.
"What I want to tell you is that..I love you Miss Kaoru that I do.." Kenshin whispered.
Kaoru felt as though a wave of warmth had rushed over her and swept her away. At first she couldn't say anything because it all seemed too good to be true.
"I love you too Kenshin." Kaoru said with tears in her eyes.
Kenshin smiled at her words. Slowly and carefully he lifted his hand and brushed the tears gently away from her face. She trembled slightly under his touch and closed her eyes. Slowly he leaned down, closer and closer, till his lips touched hers.
Kaoru couldn't believe what was happening. Was he actually kissing her? The warmth, the heat, the taste, it was all real. Kenshin really was kissing her. She kissed him back passionately. This was exactly what she had been waiting for all those cold nights. This was exactly what she wanted. To be in his arms. She never wanted to leave him, ever again. She didn't want to pretend that she didn't love him. She never wanted to do that ever again. And now, to be held in his arms, to be kissed by him. It was almost too much. Kaoru felt so light headed. The only reason she didn't fall straight to the ground was because Kenshin was holding her. Otherwise she would not be able to stand up.
Yahiko peeked through the door. His eyes widened as he saw Kenshin lean down and kiss Kaoru. He had known that Kaoru had been feeling that way about Kenshin for a while, but he hadn't known that Kenshin had been feeling the same way. He heard footsteps behind him and he quickly turned around to see who it was. He was relieved to find that it was only Sano.
"What you doing there, Yahiko?" Sano asked quite loudly.
Yahiko shushed him. "Shut up Roosterhead! They'll hear us!"
Sano walked over to were Yahiko was bending to look through the crack in the door. He smiled when he saw what was going on inside.
"So they're at it again. Our plan didn't turn out at all, Kouji wasn't supposed to be a bad guy, but it seems that things have turned out fine anyway." Sano whispered quietly.
"So why are you here anyway?" Yahiko questioned curious.
"Well..You see...I kind of ran out of money so I was hoping to ask Kaoru if she would.." Sano began, but Yahiko hit him the head.
"Is that all you do? Filch food and money off people?" Yahiko said, trying not to be too loud. Sano's only reply was a muffled curse.
Reluctantly Kenshin pulled away from her. He stared down at her, his violet eyes glimmering in the dim light. "So..." He said quietly.
Kaoru looked up at him. "Yes Kenshin?" Kaoru said. She smiled at him. She was so happy in his arms.
Kenshin shuffled his feet nervously. "Well there's something else I've been wanting to ask you, but I think it might be too soon."
Kaoru was even more curious now. "Kenshin, please tell me!" She said anxiously. She gripped his shirt tighter. What could it be that he wanted to ask her?
Kenshin smiled shyly at her. Maybe this wasn't the right time to ask her. Maybe they were going to fast. So instead he asked. "Will you dance with me?"
Confusion covered Kaoru's face. "What do you mean Kenshin?"
"We never got to dance before...at the party..." Kenshin mumbled.
Kaoru began to blush. "Ok then, but I'm not that good."
Kenshin smiled down at her. "It's nothing to worry about." Slowly he reached down for her hand and wrapped his other hand around her waist. And they danced. ..............................
~Ok. I know it's weird that they're dancing, but go with me. Can you guess what he was about to ask her?"~
"There's something I need to tell you too." Kaoru whispered as she leaned her head onto his shoulder. Kenshin was surprised at first, but then he swept her into a light hug. He held her close to him as his fingers lie entwined in her hair. He let out a little sigh.
