I've gotten a comment or two about a song that went on in some of your heads while a scene played out... Well, in all actuality, i can't type without my music. It's kinda' weird, but cool at the same time because i have this wide variety of music at my disposal that i carry around with me everywhere from Classical to heavy metal to country. So, more than likely the song that you think of while you read something of mine is probably the kind of song i was listening to when i wrote it. Isn't that neat?

It will be a while before i update again because i had written these chapters on spring break when i had nothing else to do. I'm sorry about that, but it's inevitable. I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as i finish it. And i'll try to make it longer.

The spelling thing...I have a COMPAQ PRESARIO 443 WITH WINDOWS 3.1! I had to install the floppy drive! What makes you think i have spell check? I don't. If you can't stand the keying errors in my works, then either ignore them, or get me a new computer cuz i'm tired of people griping because of spelling errors. And i think everyone else is tired of hearing me gripe. So, here's your chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer.

Kaoru woke slowly. Dim light from the street outside of the window the only light in the room.

Startled by the sound of breathing, she saw red to her right.

Then she realized who it was. Kenshin.

She smiled softly, warmed by the thought.

Climbing out of bed, she pulled the blankets off into the floor. Then, pulling Kenshin off of the bed, she laid his head down against the pillow she had drug down for him. Then she covered him up with a light sheet, realizing that he was topless.

Climbing in beside him, she curled into his broad, muscled chest and fell asleep.

he shifted, wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her to him in his sleep.

(A/n My mouth is watering ;p )

Megumi stood in the doorway, staring at the warm scene before her.

Kenshin lay on top of the covers with Kaoru curled against his bare, schulpted chest. Both of them unmoving. Both of them asleep on the floor beside the bed.

The sun was rising in the horizon, leaving the room a shade of deep pink and grey. Smiling, she went on, closing the door silently.

Somewhere in his mind he knew something was off. he was lying down, but the floor was soft, not like the hard linolium that it was.

The next thing that was off was the fact that something warm was curled against his chest. Something that breathed and moved. Something that had soft skin, something with long hair that intermixed with his own like the colors of the sunset.

Opening his eyes, he had to squint because of the sunlight, he saw a sight he had not yet hoped to see.

Kaoru was curled against him, her face buried into his chest. A pillow was under his head, a blanket under him on the floor.

She had done this.

She stirred against him, her long black lashes fluttered and her blue eyes met his own violet ones.

"Morning." He said, his voice breathy in his own ears.

She started, scrambling away from him. Standing, her face a stony mask as it had been before he had rescued her from the subway station.

Just as quickly as she had turned stony, she turned back to unmasked emotion. Startled happiness.

"morning." She said, laying back down beside me, almost making me jump.

"What was that all about?" He asked her, staring into her bright blue eyes.

"Bad dream." she said, dismissing the subject. "You look like you feel better."

"As do you. Do you wish to begin preparing for a hunt?" He asked her, reminding her.

"In a little while. Let's just enjoy the peace for now." She said, looking up at the plain white ceiling with a gentle smile touching her lips.

Sanouske was arriving with breakfast, chocolate chip and cinnamon bagles from the Akabeco, when Megumi stopped him just down the hall from his destination.

"Hey, what's the big.." He was cut off by megumi's lips on his own.

"let's let them have their sleep. Why don't you help me with my morning rounds, i've only got one more floor to go." She said, taking his hand in her own long, elegant one.

"Sure, Megitsune." Sano said, grinning, as she led him down the hallway past the room his friend was in.

"I went by and checked in earlier. Either our Kaoru made a very blatant move on the red haired Ruroni, or kenshin will be dead by noon. Either way, they should be left to sleep until they wake themselves." Megumi explained. "I found them curled together on a blanket in the floor. Kind of sweet."

"Kenshin wants to make her his. I think he wants to marry her." Sanouske said, staring down at the woman in front of him.

"That's great. Kaoru needs a guy like him in her life. One that won't get killed so easily. By the way, the idiots from the TPD came by earlier, searching for you and Kaoru and Kenshin. They say You and Kenshin blew up County General."

"Hmm. I've got to see what i can do about that." he said, smiling down at her in her concern. Taking advantage of the situation, he stole a kiss from her pursed lips, which relaxed and responded.

After not being hit or yelled at, Sanouske took it a step further. He kissed her again, more deeply and passionately.

They were interrupted by a beeping buzzing sound that eminated from a nearby room. Megumi broke the kiss. "I'm needed." She said. "A doctor's work is never done i suppose." She said, walking slowly toward the room to wich she had been called.

Alright, there is more coming, but not right now. I need sleep. Badly. I've been up for about two days strait and it's hard to keep my eyes from going cross. I've fallen asleep at the keyboard at least twice trying to type this.

Good night, yall. I need to go. I promise i'll write more soon.

Insanity is Nature's way of saying hello. -me.
