Chapter 4---Martial arts, afternoon walks and sparks
"Kenshin" she called…
"Kenshin" she called again…
He stopped. Drawing his sword, she held her breath. She made voluntary backsteps, but was frozen when she saw him head straight into her…
"I am sorry---" he kissed the blade and drove it into the people around them. A blue moon he flew over and into the man she loved most, her father…
"Daddy" she screamed… "what are you doing?" she screamed
"You are mine" he spoke darkly
"What?" she asked in shock.
Running to her, he pushed his lips against hers and showed the meaning of love and blood in the insanity of a hitokiri.
"Stop---please" she begged…
"Never---" he whispered and with that all the world turned black…
--
--
"Noo" she gasped. It was all a dream. A very bad dream. She placed a hand over her neck, and found no puncture. Sighing to herself, she heard the arguing outside.
"What's that suppose to mean?" shouted another girl…
"It means that everyone is sleeping so keep your voice down…" Matsura shouted.
"But who cares…I'm hungry---and tired" spoke this girl…
Kaoru frowned. Whoever this girl was, she definitely was giving Matsura-san a hard time. Quickly changing, she gathered herself and made herself outside. No body---how odd. Walking down the hall, she opened Kenshin's shoji and saw him sitting against the wall.
"Morning" she whispered…
He kept looking outside never turning to smile at her. She entered and sat beside him.
"You look better" she smiled while watching him.
"Hmm" he nodded.
"So---what are we gonna do today?" she asked leaning to see outside his window. She stood up and looked out the window. She watched the birds flit from tree and tree and a warm smile enchanted her angelic features.
"I have to teach you how to defend yourself" he spoke devoid-like
"Why?" she asked in yonder
"It's important for you to. I won't always be there to protect you and with some defense in mind, you can defend yourself in those times you need it most." he spoke while getting up and looking out the window.
"Oh--ok--well lets go downstairs and get something to eat" she spoke and with that they both walked down the steps, from the corner of the hall a young girl watched the two…
She had to agree the red-head was very cute, but he couldn't say the same for his girlfriend.
Hurrying behind them she was prepare to cause trouble.

"Morning papa" Kaoru kissed her father on the cheek and kept walking to the gathering room.
"Morning sweetheart, and how did you sleep?" he asked while ruffling her hair
"Okie dokie daddy" she smiled and with that Kenshin lead her in.
"Thank you" she smiled and he soon followed her course.
She told Kenshin to keep her seat as she seem to get distracted from Matsura and the Ishinshin girls, Kenshin nodded and kept her seat.
"Matsura-san" Kaoru greeted, hugging the old woman.
The old woman hadn't expected this, but she should have. Kaoru was a wale of a girl. Patting her gently on the head, she asked her for a hand.
"Sure--" and with that, Kaoru helped the girls carry food to the Ishinshishi men.
She had bowls to serve for her father, Izuika, Maebi and Kenshin but when she looked at who was in her seat her brows inclined in anger. She strolled happily to Maebi and greeted him. Placing the bowl of rice and miso soup for him he thanked her. She continued her process until Kenshin.
She leered closer to Kenshin whispering what was the girl to the side of him doing there. His only excuse was he tried.
She sighed and nodded. Walking back into the kitchen she got some more rice and soup. Before she could leave Matsura held her back.
"Kaoru-chan---" she started
"Yes" she answered
"I wanted to tell you something, it seems as if my niece will be staying with us just for a short while. She's from a very high shogun family and she believes in the best things, if you find her to be a little too bossy, don't be too hard on her, she's only a girl. She's a long way from home and I would only ask of you to be friends with her, would you do that for me, well try at least?" she asked
"Sure, of course I would" she smiled…
And with that Kaoru re-entered the gathering room and began placing rice and soup for the girl.
"Well what happened? You certainly took forever" the girl spoke
"Gomen nasai, had some distractions in the kitchen" Kaoru apologized.
"Whatever" and with that Kaoru continued on the way. After a couple minutes she sat with the Ishinshishi girls to the way back. All the girls laughed when they found a joke. This girl obviously didn't like the distraction.
"Why don't you all be quiet, do you all have no respect?" she asked bitterly
The girls stopped and apologized.
"You, blue eyes, what's your name?" she asked
"My name is Kogoro Kaoru" she spoke solemnly. Her name shuddering souls. The girl hadn't realized the Ishinshishi base was leader from Katsura, nor did she know that this was his daughter.
"Why are you so way-ward?" she asked
"If you find me way-ward, maybe I should not be in your sight---ne?" and with that she took up her meal and walked to the door. Kenshin could sense her hurt. Sighing at the situation, he got up and took his meal outside following Kaoru's suit.
--
--
"Kaoru---can I?" he started…
"Oh, please" she smiled for him to sit.
He sat next to her eating his meal in peace.
"I don't understand that girl Kenshin" she started
"Hmm" he scooped some rice into his mouth
"I mean I don't do her anything and she just starts, what's that?" she asked
Kenshin chewed a while and Kaoru began giggling…
"Nani?" he asked
"You got rice on your mouth" she giggled harder making the people within hear her laughter. To some it was music while to one specific soul it was the scratching of nails down a wall.
She snarled at the high pitch giggle.
Kaoru placed her fingers around Kenshin's mouth wiping it from the rice. Kenshin pretended to bit her fingers but she quickly moved it away and giggled some more.
"Bad boy--" she wiggled her finger in front his face.
Kenshin tried to bit again, but she withdrew quickly. He pouted and Kaoru giggled the hardest she could…
"What?" he smirked
"You're too much…" she smiled…
"I know" he smirked again.
"Here bad boy, here's some fishie" she placed the fish to his lips, he protested but she pushed it into his mouth.
The young girl within stood up when she found the two an outrage. She opened the door and gasped at what she saw, the girl was feeding the boy, but what shocked her more was that they were not married, and not conducting themselves like pure Japanese.
"Be quiet---you definitely have no manners" she referred to Kaoru and with that she shut the door.
Katsura all the while looked at the girl in coldness. Kaoru looked at the girl in shock until Kenshin bit her finger. She jumped and began giggling again. Kenshin came closer for her food--fish to be exact.
"Kenshin stay back" she began running with Kenshin began closing in behind her…
The people within could hear footsteps, and they knew Kenshin and Kaoru were back at it.
"I'm coming for you" he spoke cornering her ---like in the dream. She welcomed him.
She pushed the fish in her mouth and began giggling when he looked on in mild shock.
"No problem, I'll just get it from inside your mouth" he pulled her close and looked into her eyes seeing the shock.
"I'm kidding girl" he whispered.
She blinked back, "I know you were" with that she began coughing.
"Kaoru?" he saw her coughing quite a bit, she held her throat and began kneeling.
Kenshin held around her waist and pushed a firm hand under her navel…
She choked for a few minutes which made her look a bit blue, yet as soon as it came, it was out. She breathed in raspy but soon found her breathe. Kenshin still held her for support and looked into her eyes when he saw she was alright.
"Are you okay?" he asked
"You saved me" she spoke in deep breathes
He didn't answer, instead he looked at the floor. Leaning over she rewarded him with a kiss over his left cheek. He held the cheek in shock and looked at her as she disappeared into the hall with a blushing face.
'Naughty girl' he smirked.
--
--
Kaoru stood in the courtyard in a navy gi and navy hakama. She studied Kenshin move the stick in his hands. His movement was swift and direct. She gasped when he caught a maelstrom of dust in his attack.
She blinked back from the dust that entered her eyes…
"Now you try" he spoke
"Okay" she nodded…
She stood with both feet apart, "correct?" she asked wondering if her stance was good enough.
"No lower" he spoke and with that, he brought his hand over her knee and pulled it a little further. She was loosing her balance so she placed a hand on his shoulder for support.
"Now" he spoke
"Okay" and with that she charged in with her stick, but only seem to fall in one big heap. She looked at her elbow when she saw the bruise. Kenshin help her up and saw the anger and cuteness of girlish yonder in her face. 'Oh boy--too much fish today' he admit.
"Come on, lets try again" he spoke
"It's hard Ken" she endeared his name this time
"No---who was the one who said I can do anything if I?" he asked
A broad grin was brought against her features, "if I believe" she smiled and determination filled her eyes…
He demonstrated first by putting his both feet apart, and so she followed. Seeing she wasn't getting it right, Kenshin came to the back of her.
"May be" "No" "But I'm feeling like I'm gonna fall" "well you have to try" "but I'll fall" "then fall"
"You baka" their words were wrapped up and jumbled when Kenshin desperately tried helping her.
"Okay--one---two ("Kenshin, what are gonna do) three" he placed her against his body and completely demonstrated the move.
"Ohhh---now I get it" she smiled
"Finally" he spoke exasperated.
"Shut up" she teased him.
He rolled his eyes and waited for her to practice the move, by lunch time she was performing the inner slash.
"Alright, since we can't use swords, we will have to duel with bokkens" he spoke and handed her one.
"Alright, ----so I'm suppose to hit you?" she asked worriedly
"If you could" he smirked evilly
"Kenshin? That was evil" she spoke matter of flatly
"I know---I learn from the best" he blinked one of his eyes in her direction
"You---you are so dead" she spoke
"You wish" he smirked and waited for her, "hit me--I dare yuh" he spoke
She seem uncertain at first but with a tad bit of anger she ran in and lashed nothing more than air. Kenshin had her on the floor with his bokken to her neck.
"Strike to the neck, or death blow" he spoke
"Wow--I didn't even see what you did" she whispered in shock
"I know." he spoke
"There are ten samurai blocks Kaoru, I'll teach you as much as possible today" he spoke seriously
"Hook punch me in slow motion" he ordered her
She punched in slow motion to his face.
"Good, now what you can do, is freestyle a bit, you can use a knife hand block (real karate move) and flash it across their eyes using your thumb between your clenched fist. This gives support and leverage" he demonstrated slowly in her face.
"Oh----coool" she giggled
"Dangerous---not cool" he corrected.
"You can also use this move. You can block with a rising four hand block (real karate move again) give a quick punch to the jaw. Any punch leading to the neck given at a hard and swift speed, which are two key components of any ryu, is a death blow, but I won't expect you to kill them, all you need to do is punch them to the jaw, grab their hand like this (he's demonstrating) and pull them over your shoulder like this (he placed her over her shoulder quickly and caught her before she hit the floor. Think you got it?" he asked while holding her hips
"I think so" she weakly smiled and with that they began.
(10 MINS LATER)
"Okay, now we hit our weapons accordingly to open space" he spoke and with that she rose her weapon and attacked him slowly, "you see how much space you're giving me?" he asked and showed her the places he could attacked her.
"But what if I don't chose to attack you with my weapon the way you think, or what if I don't wanna use my weapon at all?" he asked and with that, he sent a trip foot between her two. Immediately he caught her and smirked.
"Careful Kaoru" he helped her up.
"I know that move" she spoke
"Oh?" he asked
"Yes, my father thought me this in England when I was smaller" she spoke
"You did martial arts?" he asked
"Yup---I invented my own martial arts. I'm very rusty, but I can defend myself---I think---sorta--hey I never know" she smiled
"Impressive, what did you call your martial arts?" he asked
"Kaoru kasshin style" she spoke.
"Would you dual with me then sensei Kaoru?" he asked
"Why not sensei Kenshin" and with that they both withdrew from each other and stood a safe distance. Katsura looked at the two in the distance and wondered what in gods they were doing.
"One---two---three" they charged in.
Kaoru landed her sword straight for Kenshin's face, but he blocked it, and sent his bokken in for her ribs, she held it back and pushed her foot between his, but soon he pushed his between hers. Before you knew it Kenshin was holding Kaoru around the waist trying to get her to fall as they both struggled to push their feet in and out of the next.
"You're gonna fall Kenshin" she spoke while struggling
"You sure?" he asked
"Most positive" she whispered right in his ear.
He smirked.
Katsura and a few other people who were looking on clapped at the two. Kenshin and Kaoru who were indulgently preparing to throw down the next stopped and lost their balance when they looked up.
Kenshin caught Kaoru and had to admit he had enough practice.
"Thanks for breaking my fall Ken" she leaded him a hand
"No--I'm good" he lied on the floor and everyone laughed.
--
--
In speed had he raced across the small lake that he showed the young woman where precision was obtained.
Unleashing his katana he ran into the tree and slashed it in a perfect diagonal with his sword over his head and his body in a very low stance.
The tree fell down in a perfect slant cut and Kaoru watched in amazement.
"Easy?" he asked
She shook her head…
And with that he came into her with his sword---so much like her dream. She didn't like how he looked. He raised his sword to her chin and looked at her, "you okay?" he asked
She dumbly nodded.
With that he sheathed his sword and they both walked back into the Ishinshin base.
"You guys take turns and bathe, or you two can both bathe together" Ninsuko and some of the other girls instructed for Kenshin and Kaoru to bathe.
A blush swept across their faces and they both found the floor exceptionally beautiful to look at.
"You go first" Kenshin spoke
"You sure?" she asked Kenshin, her body sweaty and drowning.
"Yeh---" he spoke and with that she entered the bathhouse.
Entering the Ishinshin complex, he walked to the kitchen ready to have himself a glass of water. When he got there he saw a flawless Japanese girl cooking.
He took some water, but before he could leave, she held him back.
"Is that all you would like, Kenshin?" she asked
He stopped. "How do you know my name?" he asked
"Everybody knows you, who wouldn't know a very cute boy as yourself?" she blinked at him. He didn't blush because for some reason he knew she was trying to pull strings.
"I'm Ayami Shenlong" she bowed.
He lightly bowed.
"I see you and your wife are very much--" she was cut in by his deep void voice, "she's not my wife" he spoke flatly
"Girlfriend?" she asked
"No" he whispered
"Oh so she's just your friend?" she asked
"I'm her bodyguard" he spoke neutrally cold
"Oh--- I see. You two could have fooled me---um, would it be alright if you---um---this is so embarrassing but I'll say it, would it be alright if you came fishing with me? A bunch of us are going to the sea to fish and take a walk---would you like to come?" she asked
"Who else is going?" he asked
"Um, Katsura, Maebi, Matsura, Iziuka, Chazu, some of the girls and a few boys." she spoke
"Alright-- what time?" he asked
"Um--close to sunset, around 5:30 or so" she spoke
"Very well. I will see you until then" and with that he walked out the kitchen
Ayami grew a devilish grin on her face, "you're all mine Kenshin---hear that, you're all mine" she whispered to herself.
--
--
Kaoru had gone out with the girls of Ishinshin leaving all the men alone. Kenshin was left home, but she promised she would bring him something nice.
--
--
"Look Kaoru-chan, I'm a princess" Ninsuko spoke while placing a crown on her head
Kaoru giggled and bow, "you look absolutely beautiful Ninsuko" she spoke in posh English. The girls were amazed at how well she spoke English.
"Can you teach us?" Ninsuko asked Kaoru
"Sure" and with that she began teaching them little phrases as they walked along.
--
--
"45--46, 47, 48, 49, 50. Here I come" Kaoru shouted and with that she went looking for the girls who hid within the market…
"Where can Matsura-san be?" she wondered knowing fully well where she was, "can she be here, or is she here, oh what a surprise, here she is" Kaoru pulled the curtain and saw the woman. With that they soon began finding everyone except Ninsuko.
As Kaoru giggled and turned with her exceptional beauty, a European ordered his carriage to be stopped immediately. The boy within the carriage wore a pair of bright blue eyes, and his hair was silky blonde, held in a pony. There was hardly any Japanese in him, which made him more of European. He exited the carriage dressed in a flawless black military suit with golden buttons and a black katana on his side. He walked to Kaoru knowing she hadn't seen him. But the girls who were turning to his direction did spot him.
Kaoru kept back stepping until (Aguff)
She apologized to the person not even looking into their face. The boy raised her chin and looked at her.
"It's okay" he spoke in English
"You speak posh English, European?" she asked speaking in posh English herself
"Yes, I see you're European, you look like Lady Jasmine's daughter, right?" he asked
"Who wants to know?" she asked furrowing her brows
"There there my lady, I'm not going to do you anything.---I'm just very honored to met you, that's all" he spoke…and with that he asked for her to take a ride with him. She only agreed under one condition, which was for her girls to come along. He agreed. They all journeyed in his carriage and the Japanese girls were fascinated by the European carriage, and very cute boy who spoke to them.
His eyes were on Kaoru studying her from head to toe. Matsura didn't like this boy. Not one bit. His eyes looked like he were a child from a rapist. That was all Matsura needed.
She ordered the young boy to stop the carriage and he did.
"Good day young sir" and with that she pulled Kaoru's hand and out the girls went.
"Why did you do that?" asked Kaoru
"I don't like that boy, he gives me the creeps. Didn't you see how he was looking at you?" he asked
She swallowed hard, "no" she whispered
"Come on, lets go home" and with that the girls walked home.
The walk back to the Ishin base was an a clean twenty minutes and by the time they were all home, it was time for the fishing trip. Kaoru looked around seeing everybody busy. She went to her father and sort converse.
"Where are you going daddy?" she asked
"Didn't anybody tell you?" he asked
"Tell me what?" she asked
"That we're going fishing" he spoke
"But I dunno how to fish" she answered
"Maa maa, I'll teach you. You coming right?" he asked
"Certainly…" and with that at five everybody began walking to the sea. Kaoru walked with her father after seeing Ayami walking close to Kenshin.
"How come she's so close to Katsura Kogoro?" asked Ayami
"That's Katsura's daughter" Kenshin spoke
"Really?" she asked
He nodded and looked into the distance.
"So she's European, right?" she asked
He nodded.
"I see.
--
--
Kaoru took off her slippers when they were close to the beach. Everyone was confused, but soon they got it. She took off into a run taking Ninsuko and her father with her. Everyone laughed when Katsura tripped.
"Oh I'm sorry daddy" Kaoru apologized.
"It's okay, you go and have some fun" and with that she and the other Ishin girls found themselves a nice place in the sand and began burying their feet in it.
Kaoru saw Kenshin sitting close to the mangrove and she wondered why he was so lonely. Getting up, she saw Ayami went to him. Kaoru sadden a bit but then began changing directions to the sea. She lifted her kimono to her knees and swished the water around. She buried her toes in the wet sand and looked out sadly into the golden sunset. Feeling something by her feet, she picked up the object and saw it was a pretty pink shell. Washing it out into the sea she carried it back to her friends and showed them.
As the sun became a richer shade of saffron, she sighed harder. Ayami and Kenshin had been talking so long and Kaoru frowned that she couldn't speak to him.
"You like him, don't you?" asked Ninsuko who became like her best friend
"No I don't" Kaoru blushed
"Yes you do" Ninsuko teased… "why don't you tell him?" she asked
"I don't like him like that, I think he's a very nice guy to hang with. But I'm not---attracted to him as Ayami is" Kaoru spoke
"Fine whatever, just remember Kaoru-chan, if you don't make your moves Himura won't, Ayami may just be the next best thing to him if you never move" he reminded Kaoru…
Kaoru listened and sighed hard.
Getting up she went to her father who made a bonfire to cook the fish on.
"Daddy can you teach me how to fish?" she asked sadly
"Of course sweet heart" and with that he picked up the fishing rod and demonstrated.
"Flick the rod back and then lung it forward" he spoke
"Okay, flick back (she flicks the rod back) and now forward (she lungs forward), hey I did it" she smiled to herself and waited for a fish
"How long does this take?" she asked impatiently
"A while, it depends, the higher the tide, more fish" he spoke
"Oh---none's biting papa" she growled when the silence was begging to kill.
"I know" he snickered
"Papa---you're evil" she growled and with that stuck her stick in the sand.
With that she walked to Ninsuko who pointed her to Kenshin. Kaoru sighed and began collecting herself. Walking to Kenshin and Ayami, she wished she wouldn't have to embarrass herself.
"Hi guys" she started
"Can't you see we're busy?" she rolled her eyes
"I'm sorry" but before she could go, Kenshin pulled her by the hand and made her sit next to him.
"Kenshin?" inquired Ayami
"What, I'm her bodyguard" he spoke
Ayami growled and walked away…
"Hey stranger" she started
"So now we're strangers huh?" he turned to her…
"No---" her hair began blowing in her face…
Kenshin pushed it behind ear and touched her cheek while withdrawing…
She blushed but welcomed the contact.
"Wanna take a walk with me Kaoru?" he asked
"Sure---where to?" she asked…
"On the stretch" he spoke
"Okay---lemme just tell dad" she spoke and he waited.
Running hurriedly to her father who was arguing with Maebi he was interjected by his daughter.
"Daddy-Kenshin-and-I-aregoingforawalk--SO BYEE" she spoke rapidly and was out his face
"Alright, not too far now" he spoke
"Okay, bye" she bade but then she suddenly became distracted from her fishing rod.
It was pulling.
"Hey dad---Hey dad" he didn't listen
"DAD" she screamed
No response
"DAD"
No response…
"I GOT ONE SOMEBODY" she shouted and everyone looked at her.
She pulled at the rod and found that she was being dragged in. Kenshin ran to her and pulled from behind. Slowly they pulled the fish out.
"Wow, what a big fish Kaoru---this could feed all of us--just kidding" Katsura spoke
"Okay cook it properly now, I'm going dad, bye" and with that she saw Kenshin lifting up something in the distance. He approached her with an evil grin on his face. She watched him in curiosity. He pushed whatever it was in her face. It was a tiny fish which got her screaming.
"Himura Kenshinnnn" she screamed.
For the first time Kenshin laughed. It was a memorable thing, and those who saw it, they would never forget it. She pushed him back but he pushed her back, only to find she lost her balance and landed flat on her buttocks. She got up and looked at her wet kimono, feeling the cloth seeping wet. He smirked. She trip him with a fake step and Kenshin fell into the sea. Angry at her, he pulled at her foot and got her wet with him.
"You are so wicked" she teased
"Am I aye?" he whispered and began tickling her.
"Stop---(she laughs)" she begged…
He eventually stopped and dragged her out with him.
She picked up the little fish and placed some water in her hand. Kenshin lead the way they would walk, carefully helping her, she smiled on each interval that he did. In the distance everyone watched as Kenshin stood next to Kaoru who freed the little fish.
"Bye bye baby fishie" she spoke and with that felt strong hands lift her up and throw her into the sea.
"Himura Kenshin" she screamed in glee
"That's my name, don't wear it out" he spoke coming in for her.
"I'm coming to get you" she spoke
"Well then, I shall await you" he came into her and grabbed her hands before she could hit him. She struggled to lash him but he wouldn't give in. He wrapped his hands around her waist and made her look at him in the eyes.
"Hey look at me" he whispered softly
She did, face wet and allowing tendrils to stick to her face. He pulled at the tendrils and smiled at her.
"You smiled---for me" she whispered in shock
"I know" he leaned into her allowing all his free weight to push them both back into the water…
"Kenshin" she screamed
He laughed…
After a hearty bathing in the sea, he took her for a long walk. It was now night and he was carefully carrying her back to the bonfire.
"You two lovers enjoyed yourselves?" asked Ninsuko and both Kenshin and Kaoru blushed.
"Hush---" Kaoru spoke and Kenshin placed her down.
Pulling him by the hand, she sat very close to him and they were soon given some fish.
As usual her father was arguing with Matsura because the fish was too salty.
"I cook fish all my life Katsura, don't tell me about fish" she complained and everyone laughed.
Kaoru troubled Kenshin about the fish prior that morning. A smile dancing across his features. Pushing the fish in his face, he bit forward and got the fish. In so doing, he got her index finger and slowly allowed it to be withdrew. Amber embraced sapphire and something other than flirtation, friendship and hormonal activity kicked in---something they both did not comprehend--. After a couple minutes, everyone began conversing, except for Kenshin and Kaoru.
Kenshin closed his eyes while sitting in the distance. Kaoru smirked evil 'I'll get you, once and for all' she began coming closer, ready to scare him. She was about to scare him when…
"Hold it right there missy" he spoke with shut eyes as she dropped to the floor in shock.
"How did you know I was there?" she asked
"Your ki" he spoke
"Ahh--I should have known" she thought… "are you tired?" she asked
"No---just resting my eyes" he spoke
"Ohh---if you're resting your eyes Kenshin---them um---why don't you--------------um, put your head on my lap" she pat her lap for him
"You sure?" he asked
"Yes"
"You sure sure?" he asked
"Yes" she pulled him and he comfortably placed his head on her lap, as he shut his eyes, she began petting his head. He blushed a bit, but he didn't see any on her face…
She paced her fingers into his scalp lightly massaging it. He enjoyed the feeling and forgetting who he lied on, he grabbed her hand and pushed it to his temples, instructing the smooth fingers how to move. She learned and began massaging his tense temples. He enjoyed it a lot. After a couple hours of talking, joking and just being stupid the Ishinshin packed up. Kaoru leaned against Kenshin yawning tiredly. He picked her up and her eyes flew up.
"Kenshin" she started sleepily
"I thought you were sleepy?" he asked
She smiled and leaned into the crook of his neck, loving the feeling…
Another day was written from two passive people. Bliss. A unique feeling, yet exceptionally wonderful. Kenshin carried the bundle, being more appreciative of what he held with each passing day…
'And Kami has answered me for the first time in so many years' he sighed into the night's bliss…

An: Thank you for your reading and support readers. I am so happy and thankful. Thank you ever so much. I wish you all as well luck in the future and may god keep you safe. Take care wonderful friends and peeps.
Ps. Queen of Hearts8- I am a Science student (that would explain why my fanfiction is nil). I agree that some of the things in my fanfiction are very much questionable. True where the hell did that washcloth came out from, I even asked myself that back when I was beta-reading it. But it's my laziness fault. Okay well--- that is true Alcohol is not use for curing wounds, but again I did not define if it was rubbing alcohol. Which is most likely suppose to be the Alcohol used. Alcohol (the drinking one) can however be used on a wound, the sugar within true would make the wound become worst, but back then when Samurai, Daimyo and Shogun fought, they would usually kill countless victims and they usually died from their wounds. Infection, if you used drinking alcohol, it would be alright for a temporary usage. But it is requested of one to get immediate medical attention. Hence there are other different times of ethanol. The correct name or chemical name for alcohol. There are different types of alcohol, those for your shampoos, those in "anti-bacterial" skin applications, in creams and etc. I really didn't say which alcohol I used, so it can't be really deducted I am speaking of Alcohol to drink, although you can use it to make the wound clean, but immediately get medical attention. Either way, it works. I didn't take your comment as a flame but as a good observation. Thank you for your time, all the best and god bless…
Please review, pretty please…
