.:Forever:.
He sat beside her the whole night and day without once blinking. He watched how she breathed how her face seemed at peace. He couldn't help but lightly smile to himself.
Stop it his mind screamed at him she's just going to leave you with that he frowned. Soon after she woke up he knew she would leave him. He only saved her after all they weren't
Friends or anything. He sighed. "It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache……" he sang under his breath than stood up and opened the door just in time to catch a passing maid.
"Ma'am this one would appreciate it if some food could be brought to the room please" he asked kindly the maid nodded and swiftly walked away. He closed the door quietly behind him. "why?" a soft voice behind him shocked him at first "this one is sorry, this one did not hear you awake" he said softly she shook her head. She was now sitting up
Her eyes held confusion "no why did you save me?" he merely shook his head "shhh you need rest" he insisted she shook her head again than grabbed her side as the pain took over.
Swiftly he flew over to her a lightly pushed on her shoulders to make her lay. He lay the back of his hand over her forehead instantly feeling the warmth. Than grabbing a towel from the shelf and wetting it with water he walked back over to her and wiped her face with the cool towel. She lazily kept her eyes half open watching his every move. When he set the towel aside she had fallen asleep yet again he smiled softly than got up and sat by the window were he too drifted to sleep.
The next morning kaoru woke up with a start and looked around. She frantically searched the room until her eyes caught the shape of another being. She paused than smiled slightly at his peaceful face. She stood up and slowly walked over to him. She stopped inches away from him still admiring his gorgeous face when the next second she was pinned to the wall with a blade to her throat. She gasped at the golden eyes that pierced threw her. At her gasp his eyes melted to a light plum "this one is sorry, that I am" he sheathed his sword and backed away far enough to give her air. "Who are you?" she asked fear still trickling her voice. He paused and looked at her for a minute the hesitantly replied "k….kenshin….himura kenshin that is this ones name." kenshin replied
"For now" he added quietly.
"Kenshin…"she repeated "and yours?" kaoru looked up "oh…its kaoru, kamiya kaoru." she said "Well miss kaoru you will be well enough to be on your way tomorrow, that you will" he says than turns away and walks towards the door. "Please stay" he froze hand inches away from the door handle. "Please don't leave me" kaoru whimpered. Kenshin turned around and smiled softly "this one does not wish you a burden such as this one" he replied "you saved me didn't you?" she asks. He slowly nods as she steeps towards him.
"Than please stay…with me…"she asks. He steeps away from the door and smiles "if that is what Miss Kaoru wishes" she nods. "In any case we leave tomorrow is there anything you need?" kenshin asks kaoru looks at her torn kimono kenshin laughs "than please wait here till I return" he says than quietly leaves.
Once In town kenshin swiftly makes his way threw the crowd to get the things he needed for their departure. Stopping at a store for some food he sees a little boy struggling to get away from a rather large man. "Let go of me!" the boy screamed "I'll teach you to steal food from me" the man said kenshin walked up to the two of them. Looking at the boy he could tell he was poor from his torn outfit. Kenshin grabs a loaf of bread and pays the owner than hands the bread to the boy "try not to get into trouble little one" he said the walked away he heard the boy storm off after knocking over a water bin.
After getting the other supplies he finally reached the kimono shop he slowly looks around until he spots a blue kimono "um hello?" he turned around to see a timid girl standing behind him "May I help you?" she asks "I would like to buy this kimono" he says kindly the girl nods and takes it down. After paying for the kimono he walks back to the inn were kaoru was waiting for him. Before he reached it he saw a jewelry shop and walked over.
Kaoru stood by the window when he walked in. she turned around and offered a smile which he returned "here is your kimono miss kaoru I'll wait outside for you to change."
He set the kimono on the table. He instantly left the room for her to change.
She walked over to the deserted kimono and picked it up while changing into it a necklace fell out and landed on the floor she kneeled down and picked it up.
