Chapter 4: warmth inside
"...Kenshin was it?" Kaoru asked while she was following behind him. She was still getting used to him. (I fixed the spelling =^^=) "Yep! Always will be." Kenshin replied with a smile. He was walking just a couple of steps in front of Kaoru so he didn't loose her in the night. He was also keeping an eye watch for Shinsengumi members. His thoughts were then brutally interrupted by a loud screech from Kaoru.
"EEEEEEKK!!" She screamed.
"Wha-Wha-Wha!??! What is it?!!??!?!" Kenshin said in a rush, head whipping in every direction.
"A RAT!!" Kaoru shrieked again. She then grabbed onto Kenshin's right arm and closed her eyes tight. "I LOATHE rats!" Kaoru said, emphasizing the word 'loathe'. Kenshin chuckled. He decided to tease Kaoru a bit to get her spirits up.
"Oh that's the least of your worries. There are snakes, and wildcats, and bunches of insects all around this area at night. Also there are-" Kenshin was once again interrupted by a head throbbing whack on his head. "Ororororo" Kenshin piped, his eyes swirling in all directions.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR FRIGHTENING ME!!" Kaoru shouted. "Now just lead us to that little place we were going to. The forest always gives me the creeps!" Kaoru shuddered. Kenshin rubbed his head tenderly, and continued to guide Kaoru to his 'special' place. They finally reached the ledge where he was practicing earlier. "Here it is!" Kenshin exclaimed.
"Right here? At this ledge?" Kaoru asked a little confused. The safety wasn't all that different then the forest.
"Not 'here'! Down there!" Kenshin said, pointing to the bottom of the waterfall.
"D-d-d-down there?!" Kaoru shivered. She couldn't stand heights. Let alone jump off something high.
"Oh...you're not a heights person are you." Kenshin said in a 'I-knew-it' voice. Kaoru shook her head in shame. Kenshin just simply smiled. "Oh that's ok. Just close your eyes, and you'll be down there before you know it!" Kenshin said in a 'It's-as-simple-as-pie' voice. (Kenshin really likes saying things in certain way XD) Kaoru trusted his word for it, and shut her eyes tightly. She then felt strong arms swoop her off the ground, bridal-style (:D), and then she felt the weight of herself and her carrier, go light. In only a few seconds, she was on the ground again. Well...her carrier was anyway. She opened her eyes, and noticed that they were behind the waterfall, in some type of cave. But that meant that they had to go through the waterfall to get here. But...why wasn't she all wet? She then felt a cold aura around her. She looked up to find Kenshin still holding her, soaked to the bone. 'He used himself as a shield as to not get me wet...that's so sweet of him...' Kaoru thought. Kenshin then gently put her on the ground, and told her to wait there for a second. She did as she was told, and then she felt Kenshin's hand tug her ever-so- slightly, and the was placed onto a soft cushion on the ground. Or...more like a training gi.
"Kenshin, I don't need a cushion. Besides, you're going to get cold!" Kaoru exclaimed with a stern stare at him. Kenshin simply smiled again and said, "Nah, I don't get cold too often. Besides, it's a lot more comfy to sit on something soft, then hard ground. Correct?" Kenshin asked with just a little bit of sarcasm. Kaoru blushed a bit and nodded. She began to shiver at the cold cave she was in Kenshin noticed it, and got up. He walked over to her and sat right next to her.
"You cold?" Kenshin asked, with curiosity and concern in his eyes. Kaoru bobbed her head into a nod. Kenshin stood up again and walked out of sight somewhere. Well...he didn't have to walk that far to get out of sight...it was nearly pitch black. But then, Kenshin returned with another gi in his hands, that was much bigger than his other gi. He placed one half of the gi on her right shoulder, and he place the other half on his left shoulder, for them to share.
"I'm sorry if this is uncomfortable to you, but it's going to be a cold night, so we want to stay warm." Kenshin informed her. Kaoru just nodded her head again. She was getting so sleepy all of the sudden. Kenshin was just about to start talking about his past to her when he felt soft silk skin slide onto his shoulder. He looked down to find Kaoru's head resting on his shoulder peacefully. She was sound asleep. Kenshin ignored the blush creeping onto his cheeks, and carefully, slowly as ever, placed his right cheek on her head. 'This is going to be a loooong night' Kenshin thought with a goofy grin on his face.
It was getting late, and he was beginning to get tired. Just before he let slumber engulf him, he smelt a faint scent of Jasmine, float to his nose.
'That smells....so good...' Kenshin thought. And then, his sleep had gotten the best of him.
That night, the young couple slept peacefully together, and dreamt of good things to come.
That's all for now! Please review :D
