Chapter 5
Don't own Rorouni Kenshin
It was two months after Kenshin had walked out of her life. Kaoru hadn't been the same since he left her to be alone. There were two reasons for this: one was because she was so lonely and depressed all the time now, two was because she hadn't had her monthly time and she was starting to feel sick. She was sure she was pregnant.
Kaoru looked at herself in the mirror. She thought he mom already knew because her mother always sees the clothing and she would have noticed not seeing Kaoru start her monthly time twice.
She already noticed a small swelling in her stomach but it was nothing anyone who didn't know would see. She put on a shirt that was, like all her other shirts almost to small. With the beautiful tan flowing skirt she choose to wear with the white shirt you could just see the bottom of her white tummy swelling slightly from the bottom of her shirt.
Kaoru got up and ran. She just kept running until she was out of the keep and back to her and Kenshin's field. She lay on her back and pulled her shirt up off her belly which stuck out into the air slightly. She put her hands out and rubbed her stomach.
Battousai had been assassinating again for the first time in a long time. She sat and held her stomach with shaking hands and cried. "Oh, Kenshin." She took in a shaky breath. "I still love you." She rolled to her side, hugging her stomach. "Sorry, baby."
Unbeknownst to her Kenshin stood in the trees, seeing her for the first time since he left. He smiled when he saw she gained weight then frowned when he noticed she was crying.
He listened to her, shocked. She was pregnant with his child. He started to walk to her then, deciding he needed to think about everything a little while, turned and walked in the other direction.
