Bleeding Blue Heart

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, only this plot. Thank you.

A/N: Hey guys! Well this story just came up on my mind one day and then I was thinking of writing but I wasn't sure if I should write it. However, the plot won't leave my mind...so I gave it a try and so here it is. I'm not sure about the pairing yet but it'll be between Kenshin/Kaoru or Aoshi/Kaoru...those two are my favorite pairings. However, no matter of the pairing in the end there will be Aoshi/Kaoru moments and definitely Kenshin/Kaoru moments. The characters also might be OOC. The rating of the story it's either K+ or T, it varies. Well, anyway, we'll see as the plot goes on. So ENJOY!

Summary: AU-Having accepted an engagement proposal from her lover, Kaoru Kamiya was sure that Kenshin Himura is her true one. However, with the memories of Kenshin's ex-fiancée still on his mind, will the memories of his dead ex-fiancée ruin the true relationship he has with Kaoru, which in turn confuse Kaoru for Tomoe and give her to the arms of another man or will he try to convince Kaoru that she is his true love and that she holds a special place in his heart that no one ever has been place on, not even his ex-fiancée?

Warning(s): It's rated T...I think. Well, just to be safe it's rated T.

Prologue: Will You?

"Will you marry me?" Four words that'll make all women swoon, besides the words 'I Love you' of course, and make it the best day of their life that will change their life also, and there's no exception with Kaoru Kamiya or rather now Kaoru Himura if she accepts.

Kaoru Kamiya, a 25 year old teacher at an all girls school, the Prestigious All Girls High Academy. At a stranger's point of view if someone would write a story about her, they would think she has the perfect life. A perfect student in high school with high grades, perfect family despite that her mother and father died from a car accident, leaving only her and her little brother. She works hard and is beautiful with a bright sapphire eyes and black midnight color hair. Kaoru is a strong girl, physically and emotionally, being in a kendo team. A graduate at the age of 21, from Tokyo University for 2 years and Yale University for 2 years, majoring in Teaching for English and Foreign Language, specifically French. After finishing college, she moved in to New York and went straight looking for teaching jobs. Browsing through the New York Times, she found what she was looking for, made an appointment for an interview, went to the interview, did a magnificent interview, and finally got the job. And, now after 3 years, she is still in her dream job, teaching teenage girls how to speak French and teaching English, and last but not least, she is still the young beautiful bachelorette.

Kaoru Kamiya's days were and still are made up of having 4 classes for English and 3 classes for French each day. No time for relaxing, only checking papers, tests, and quizzes each day, and certainly no more dating. What a drat...might as well marry these papers Kaoru thought as she glared at the test papers on her coffee table.

However, it all changed 2 years ago when she met with the CEO of the Mitsurugi Inc., Kenshin Himura, a dashing 26 years old bachelor while Kaoru was still 23 years old. Caught up in each other's eyes while dancing with grace and rhythm in a masquerade ball, Kenshin Himura and Kaoru Kamiya had just been the victims of love at first sight. Not knowing the faces of each other, Himura only noticed the lovely curves and the beautiful snow-like skin of Kaoru Kamiya, and especially the glistening and lovely blue eyes that stood out the most from any women's' eye color. While Kaoru only noticed the beautiful silk red hair and the violet eyes with a speck of amber on Kenshin, both eyes reflecting passion. And, lastly the scar on his left cheek. With the slow music ended, the couple broke away. However, having been hypnotized with Kaoru's grace, Kenshin took a hold of her wrist and whispered in her ear,

"Come with me to the balcony."

With confused but curious stare, she followed him. And, that's how it started. Both opened their masks, start a conversation, and ended having each other's phone numbers. Kenshin, being the straightforward man that he is, kissed Kaoru's lips quickly but smoothly and then left, leaving a love-struck woman on the balcony.

Ever since their encounter on the ball, Kenshin and Kaoru has been inseparable, of course, unless Kenshin has to travel for a business trip but that's what cell phones are for...to keep in touch with each other.

And, now here they are in Kenshin's house specifically in Kenshin's bedroom. Kaoru standing up while only the moon from outside and the candles around the room illuminating its light to the 2 people in the room giving serenity for both. Kaoru with her angelic face looking surprise down at the kneeling Kenshin, whose holding out a beautiful engagement ring with Zircon stone in between of a small size diamond and around the inside of the ring engraved a promise 'I Love You and Always Will'.

Kaoru, still looking struck by the confession of love and devotion Kenshin made, looked at the ring and then at Kenshin, who was still kneeling waiting for her answer.

"Oh, Kenshin...I-I-I..."Kaoru stutter in her lowest low of voice but Kenshin still could hear her crystal clear.

"Whatever you say, Kaoru, I know I'll be happy at your answer 'cause I know it makes you happy," Kenshin whisper.

With that being said, Kaoru kneeled in front of Kenshin, touched his scarred cheek and lean her face so that their foreheads are now touching, distancing herself only by an inch.

"Kenshin...I would be honor to marry you and become your wife,"

Kenshin giving his widest smile he ever gave, took the ring out of its velvet case and put the ring on Kaoru's finger, looks at her face, and gave one of the most passionate kiss he ever gave to Kaoru. Both still on each other's embrace and lips, not wanting to let go but had to for breathing. Taking a glance at his fiancée, who was still savoring their kiss, he touches her cheek.

"I love you Kaoru Kamiya" says Kenshin who was still looking at his fiancée with adoration, however, found her frowning.

"What is it, sweetheart?" Kenshin asks with worry.

"I believe honey, you mean Kaoru Kamiya Himura," reply Kaoru, emphasizing the name Himura.

With a grin from ear to ear, "Yes...Kaoru Kamiya Himura...yeah, I like the sound and the meaning of it." Kaoru giggled from his grinning, pulls him in a kiss. Kenshin, uncomfortable with the position they are in, still kneeling, pulled himself up with Kaoru along and without even breaking their kiss. Leading their way to the bed, Kenshin groaned with pleasure of Kaoru's kisses and touches and her moaning as he pull her body closer to his body making her curves fit right with his. As Kaoru's knee made contact with the foot of the bed, Kaoru fell softly on the bed bringing Kenshin with her. Now with a more comfortable position, Kenshin moved away from her lips and making his way to her jaw line and then his destination, Kaoru's neck. Making light kisses, which even made Kaoru moan more. Tilting her neck to expose more of her skin to Kenshin, Kaoru moved her hand from his shoulder to his chest unbuttoning Kenshin's first button, then the second, then the third, and so on. With the last button done, Kenshin swiftly took off his shirt without breaking contact from Kaoru's skin while she moved her hand down to Kenshin's now exposed skin. Kaoru tracing every skin, every muscle, and every scars he has with one hand while the other hand moved Kenshin's head away from her skin. Kenshin furrowing his eyebrows, wondering if he did anything wrong, "Ka-..." Kenshin started to say but was cut off with Kaoru's lips on his. Kaoru felt Kenshin's smile while kissing him knowing that now he knew why she broke the contact before because she wanted his lips on hers. The kiss went from a soft loving kiss to a more hungry, passionate kiss, both knowing that they need each other so much that the kisses and the touches weren't enough. They want and need to be inside of each other, to be one.

Kenshin, who wanted to break away only because he wanted to ask if this is really what Kaoru want, felt a tug on his belt. Feeling the tug on his belt, now he knows she also wants and needs this too. Without delaying, Kenshin worked his way to Kaoru's dress zipper.

And, while both undress each other with loving touches, the moon and the candle lights gives a serene light to the room but mostly on the couple who are expressing their love. As the night goes on, the noises outside went unnoticed to the loving couple, for they only pay attention to each other.

Birds chirping, cars and busses making their way on the road, more noises become more apparent as the morning comes.

Kenshin woke up, not from the noise, but from wanting to make sure that last night wasn't just a dream. The proposal, the 'yes' word coming out from Kaoru's mouth, the ring, the kisses, the touches, the love making...Kenshin wanted to make sure all of that wasn't just a cruel dream, messing up his mind, his reality, and his dream of having Kaoru as his beloved wife. But, all his doubts were all thrown away when he felt something on his chest. He opened his eyes and there she was. A living proof that yesterday was NOT a dream but a reality. Her nude body under the blanket with his and their legs tangled with each other, and then the ring on her finger...it was there. Sighing from relieve that everything did happened, Kenshin kissed his lover's forehead and embraced her more tighter than before making Kaoru moaned the word 'Kenshin' from her mouth. Smiling at his fiancée's innocent and cute expression, Kenshin thought about his future with her, their future together, and the last thing on his mind before he went back to sleep were Kaoru and then...Tomoe.

To be continued...
