Chapter 13: Memories
Kaoru was tucked away in her futon that night, with tears streaming down her pure, porcelain face. She knew that Kenshin had to leave tomorrow...but...would he leave...forever? Would he ever survive and come back? Kaoru closed her eyes, despite the fact that she wasn't sleepy, and tried to recall all the good times with him... 'Ah yes...there were so many memories with him...so many that she would never forget...' Kaoru thought to herself. She then remembered one that seemed to stick in her mind. She replayed it...
"Hey Kaoru, are you sure you want to camp out tonight? I mean...you're gonna be stuck with me." Kenshin replied with a cocky grin. Kaoru just turned away from the roaring camp fire, and turned to face him with one of the sweetest smiles. Kenshin was a bit surprised by her reaction, causing a slight 'oro' to slip.
"Of course I want to. Why do you think I'm out here?" Kaoru asked in sweet voice, in unison with her sweet smile. She giggled when Kenshin's reply was just a shrug. She then rested her head down onto his shoulder, and sighed contently.
"What am I gonna do with you?" Kaoru asked, humor laced with the comment. Kenshin just moved his head to her side, and smiled while brushing away her bangs.
"Love me." Kenshin replied in a whisper. Kaoru, although just audible, heard his comment, and made a small gasp.
"...What?" Kaoru asked in a hushed tone. She looked into his amethyst jewels, and saw no sign of humor. Only a serious yet gentle gleam. Kenshin smiled a beautiful smile, nearly making Kaoru melt.
"I may be a skilled samurai, but...I'm only a boy...looking at a girl...asking her to love him..." Kenshin replied. Kaoru still looked at him, bewildered at his comment. She was so close to crying. He was touching her heart. He was so close to reaching it...so very close...
"You asked me what you were going to do with me. Didn't you? Well...I answered,...'Love me'." Kenshin repeated. His eyes were dancing with hope, as he awaited her reply. Kaoru just smiled sweetly once again and spoke:
"Yes...I think I will..." Kaoru made a small laugh of contentment. Kenshin just sighed in relief and pressed his forehead against hers.
"Good...because I'm already loving you." He then pressed his lips to hers just ever so gently. When they broke away, Kaoru wanted to get his attention so she could have something to remember this moment. .
"Listen Kenshin. I want to teach you this song that I've known for a while. That way we know that it's our little secret bond. Now listen up!" Kaoru said. Kenshin just 'oro' ed at her sudden change of mood, but nodded with a smile. Kaoru smiled back, and began to sing.
"There's a song that's inside of my soul It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again.
I'm awake in the infinite cold. But you sing to me over and over and over again.
refrain
So I lay my head back down. And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars. Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again. When it feels like my dreams are so far. Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again. refrain I give you my destiny. I'm giving you all of me I want your symphony, Singing in all that I am. At the top of my lungs. I'm giving it all So I lay my head back down. And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope. Hmmmm hm hm hm hm hm hmmmm Oooo ohhh ohhh ohhh ohh ohh ohhhh"
Kaoru finished singing, and Kenshin was only smiling again. Her voice was pure magic. Kenshin engraved that tune in his heart, and so did Kaoru. They never forgot that night. And hopefully, never would...
It was now sunrise, and Kaoru was still awake. She wasn't tired. She was too busy remembering all the wonderful times she had with Kenshin. She was confident in his skill, but...a 14 year old...locked in a battle of chaos. He would either die...or worse...be lost in the middle of a bloodshed battle field. Never again filled with gentleness or tender touch...
Kaoru couldn't bare it much longer. Her tears were still not dry, yet she didn't want them to be. She was crying for him. Before she could think any longer, she heard a faint whisper at her shoji door.
'I promise...to come back...' Kaoru's eyes snapped open, as she heard the handsome voice of Kenshin, fade into the dawn's sunlight. Kaoru bolted out of bed and flung open the door. Kenshin was no where to be found. Kaoru then rushed over to his room, and opened his door. She was praying that she would find a lump full of orange red hair, halfway buried under the sheets of the futon. But...it was empty...no Kenshin to be found again. Kaoru then cursed mentally for having Misao make separate rooms once there was space. But...Kaoru didn't have time for past mistakes. She then slowly made her may to his bed, and kneeled down beside it. She glided her hand over the cotton material to find it was still warm. Kenshin had probably just left...and...most likely was never coming back. Kaoru couldn't take it anymore, and finally let crystal clear tears, stream down her already tearstained face. She collapsed onto the bed. She gripped onto the warm sheets, crying into them, wishing that it was Kenshin she was holding onto. She breathed in the scent of the fabric, and the scent of Kenshin entered her mind. She then muttered something into the fabric, with tears following her words.
"..I'll wait for you...as long as you will come home...I'll wait."
