-Chapter Sixteen-

-Kaoru's pov.-

Its been a day since I told Kenshin about the sudden news. Only in breakfast are we quiet but the rest of the time he acts as if nothing had happen and we would spend the day doing regular stuff and hanging out somewhere with our friends. After I told him I thought he would be mad at me. He probably does though and is just holding it in. He did not complain about it so I guess its fine with him. Tomorrow I'm leaving for good but for now I'm spending time with my friends and especially with Kenshin. I got up from the table and washed my plate as Kenshin silently finished his breakfast. I turned around to look at him and looked away when he looked at me. I guess it's really fine with him. When I told Mrs. Himura she was disappointed that I had to leave and she didn't want me to leave..but Kenshin hasn't said anything about it. I dried my plate and sat back down forcing a smile.

"So what would you like to do today?"

"Lets go to a theme park." He said in a whisper and looked up at me with a small smile. " I don't want any interruptions. So you have to go where I wanna go." I nodded. As we went to the fair the first thing we did was go to the arcade and there we played some games. Thankfully no one else we knew was at the fair also so after the arcade we watched some entertainment and rode a mini rollercoaster. Then we stop to rest plus it was already around 11 so we got lunch. I sat down beside Kenshin as he ate his food.

"So what do you want to do after this?"

"I know you don't like it but I want to ride the Ferris wheel. Not the one that stays still but the one that swings." My eyes went big and turned around to look at the Ferris wheel.

"Do we have too! You know I don't like it!" Kenshin grinned.

"I know. That's why we're going." I frowned.

"So evil." I mumbled.

"I know." After lunch we walked out the food and then lined up for the Ferris wheel. It took about 10-15 minutes till it was finally our turn. I almost escaped but sadly Kenshin caught me and dragged me in. The co-worker laughed and closed the door as Kenshin was telling him about my hate of the Ferris wheel. As the wheel began to move I quickly clung to Kenshins arms who liked the attention.

"Don't worry. If something bad happens you can save us because you're an angel. Then you gonna have ta do some work cause other people will see you and you'll have to erase there memory."

"Shut up!"

"Heh heh! Just kidding! Stop worrying!" he laughed. As we went higher and higher the cage, or so I call it, started to slide down making me screem while other people started to look at me. Kenshin started laughing and told me to shush cause I was making a scene. I blushed madly and hid my face by burying my face on Kenshin's chest. Kenshin grinned.

"You know what? I think I like the Ferris wheel more. We should stay here for the rest of the day." I stuck my tongue out. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer.

-reg. pov.-

After the ride they went back to the arcade room and played more games, went back to the Ferris wheel a few times cause Kaoru escaped out of his grip and ended up being chased around. Then they road more roller coasters. Finally as evening arouse they settled down to watch fireworks. Kaoru smiled as mixed colors appeared in the sky and noticed that Kenshin took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. She thanked him quietly and looked back at the sky. It went on for about another 30 minutes before they decided to get some hot coffee

"Hey are you tired?" Kenshin asked taking a sip from his coffee. Kaoru shook her head. The waitress came up to us and apologized but they had to close. It was already 11:30 p.m. The two got up, paid the bill and left.

"So what do you want to do now? You wanna go home?" Kaoru asked.

"No. Lets go to the park." Their walk to the park was quiet still not knowing what to say and as they arrived they sat down on the bench. All of a sudden Kenshin started to laugh. Kaoru looked at him weird.

"Uh..are you okay?"

"Yeah. It just earlier on. How can you be scared of the Ferris wheel?"

"Kenshin! Don't start that!" Kaoru warned.

"Yeah I won't! But you were the only one screaming and everyone else was looking at us. You're an embarrassment!"

"Hey! Shut up! Well you couldn't catch me when I escaped! That means you're a fatty!" Kaoru stuck her tongue out while Kenshin raised his eyebrow and smirked.

"Really now?"

"I bet you can't even catch me now!"

"You wanna try?" Kaoru got up and started to run. Kenshin quickly ran after her. This was going to be easy with the moon a bit bright and no people in the way Kenshin could have increased his speed and caught her but he decided to play with her. As Kaoru looked behind her Kenshin had disappeared. Kaoru stopped running and looked around.

"Kenshin?"

'aww maan! He's hiding! Ugh! And there are trees everywhere! He could be anywhere! Ugh! Well he's not gonna catch me nor scare me! You're on Himura!' Kaoru got to the nearest tree and started to climb it. Maybe if she got as high as she could she could see the overview of the park and spot Kenshin. She looked around but it was still hard too see. Kaoru sighed and climbed down she would have to be careful. As she jumped down she heard some rustling around some bushes. Kaoru frowned.

"I know your there Kenshin!...or you could be a squirrel or something." Kaoru walked forward and looked in the bushes but found, just like she thought, a squirrel. Kaoru sweat dropped. Just as she turned around she stared at amber eyes and her nose was barely touching his. He gave a little grin.

"Sorry but I don't think I'm a squirrel." Before Kaoru could run away Kenshin grabbed her and kissed her passionately as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Kaoru kissed him back opening her mouth with a moan as Kenshin slipped his tongue in her. Kaoru moaned louder. Kenshin took his tongue out and kissed on her lower lip before they parted the kiss. Kaoru blushed as they stared at each other.

"Kaoru I-…we should go. We still have your party to attend. The rest of the group are waiting at Sano's house." Kaoru nodded.

-at Sano's house-

"Finally!" Misao ran and hugged Kaoru. " maan! I don't want you too leave Kaoru! You know what we should do? We should kidnap you and that would mean that your sister has to be the headmaster!" Kaoru laughed scratching her head. Soon Rei came in and gave her a hug.

"Hey Kaoru why are you leaving anyway?"

"Uh.. well since I have found my family they want to move back to Kyoto with them."

"They were in Kyoto all this time? Geez what kind of family? It doesn't sound like they love you Kaoru. It's only a train station away." Kaoru sweat dropped.

"Well the thing is that they would have never guessed that Kaoru was in Tokyo so after a few years they thought she had died. But when they came here they saw Kaoru and ya.." Sano said before anyone else could. Everyone but Rei had sweat drops.

"I see. You poor thing! We will miss you though! Come on guys I'm hungry lets eat!" Rei went back in the kitchen with Misao.

"Why can't we just tell her?" Kaoru asked.

"Rei isn't the type of girl to keep secrets. And it might cause some problems."

"I see."

"Haha! Well enough about that! Let's go and eat and have some fun!" Sano said pushing the two in to the kitchen. They started to eat awhile then watched some scary movies but ended up stopping the video cause it was too scary for Misao and Rei and they wouldn't stop screaming, although that's what a scary movie is for screaming,. Then later on Shinji came to the house and wanted to tell Kaoru some news but they were busy playing truth or dare and some other games plus he also got pulled in playing some of the games. By the time everyone went home it was already 4 in the morning. Kenshin and Kaoru slowly took there time walking to their house.

"Ugh man," Kaoru yawned ", I'm tired. Are we home yeeet?"

"Almost."

"Kenshin carry me. I'm too tired." She put her head on his shoulder as he stopped walking and pulled her to his back as he gave her a piggy back ride. This did not make it easier for him though and once they got home he set her down on her bed but as he was about to leave Kaoru grabbed his arm.

"Kenshin…sleep with me.." Kenshin blushed madly.

'baka! Not like that! Stupid! Sleep beside her.' Kenshin who was still blushing laid next to her and blushed as red as his hair for she wrapped her arms around his waist moving closer to him. He tried putting himself to sleep but his 'bad thoughts' were in the way, though later on he finally got used to it and fell into sleep with a smile. The next morning Kaoru woke up and found her self staring at a chest (no not bare..hehe) and tried to move away but two strong arms held her and only pulled her closer. She looked up and found Kenshin sleeping peacefully. She blushed trying to get out of his grip.

'oh my god! What am I doing here with him! Oh shit he's waking up!' Kaoru closed her eyes pretending to be asleep. Kenshin opened his eyes and still found Kaoru beside him and saw her twitch. He gave a grin.

"I know you're awake." Kaoru opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Ano…how.."

"You asked me to sleep with you." Kaoru blushed and her eyes went big.

"We-we didn't-didn't…you know!-" he chuckled.

"Don't worry nothing happened," Kaoru sighed in relief ", what were you thinking?" Kenshin grinned.

"Uh…I uh.."

'what was I thinking! I could have just teleported from his grip!' Kenshin grinned and got up from the bed.

"Hmm. I smell something good. Let's go eat." Kenshin said as he opened the door. Kaoru followed.

"Ah.. you two are finally up!" Mrs. Himura said with a smile. ", I cooked some soup and left some rice balls for the two of you. You guys woke up so late its already twelve. Oh by the way, Kaoru your sister was here awhile ago. Just letting you know. Kaoru nodded and sat down. She had completely forgotten that she was to leave today and frowned. She looked up and found Kenshin frowning also. Looks like he had remembered also. Kaoru washed her dish while Mrs. Himura dried them.

"I am sure going to miss you Kaoru. All these years it's like having a daughter. Thank you for protecting Kenshin and I." Kenshin had stopped eating while Kaoru gave a silent welcome. After she was done with the dishes she went out into the backyard.

"Your not leaving." Kaoru turned around and found Kenshin. She looked at him sadly.

"Kenshin you know I have too."

"I don't care," he yelled surprising her. ", I don't care..i'm not letting you go. They can try anything to me but you're not leaving." Kenshin went up to her.

"But-" he silenced her with his finger.

"No. Kaoru ever since you came here I have admired you till now. You have always helped me and encouraged me. You've become my best friend and I'm too attached to you. So you can't leave. My admiration has changed and I thought it was silly. And all that teasing was because…because I love you Kaoru." he then kissed her. Kaoru who was too touched by his words only stood there in shock.

"Hey guys! Finally I found you!" Kasura said breaking their kiss. ",ooo…sorry. Uh..maybe I'll talk to you later…"

"Your not taking Kaoru." Kenshin said firmly.

"Taking her?"

"She's not going to be the headmaster and that's my decision." Kasura looked at him amused.

"Don't worry. She's not the headmaster anyways." She said with a smile. Kaoru and Kenshin looked at her confused ", I did talk with the elders and boy they put up a fight but I wasn't going to give up so I made a deal with them! I said that I would be the Headmaster but Kaoru would be my mentor. They talked about it and finally after an hour they agreed."

"Whaaat!" they both screamed.

"Heh heh. Ya. This was decided two days ago. But I had some training and some other stuff so I only got yesterday for spare time. I tried looking for you guys but I couldn't find you. So I asked Kenshin's mother and she didn't know either. After that I asked Shinji and said that you guys would be at a going away party or whatever so he would tell the news for me…I thought he would have told you but it looks like he hasn't. Oh and this morning I came but your mom said that you were still asleep so I said I would come back later." They looked at her in disbelief and fell to the ground anime style.

"Haha! Ya well I'd better be going. Oh ya later on, Kaoru I need you to help me with some stuff and help me train with my powers Bye!" Kenshin and Kaoru were quiet for a while.

"I did not expect that to happen." Kaoru said breaking the silence. How awkward was that just before she was about to leave he tells her his true feelings and wont let her leave how ironic. Kenshin got up and went behind her.

"Heh..how embarrassing. I feel stupid right now. But I'm glad that you wont leave. I wish we were told sooner. But that's probably my fault?" Kaoru turned around and faced him with a smile.

"I'm glad also." She said laughing.

"There's just one thing though."

"Hm?"

"You still haven't replied to me." Kaoru grinned and moved closer to him and gave him a kiss.

"I love you too."
