"Good morning Kaoru-chan, are you and Himura-san speaking now?" asked Ninsuko, her eyes focusing on the younger girl.
"Umm-hmm" she smiled devilishly to herself. 'We did more than talking you could say…'
"Seems somebody did more than speak" Ninsuko chuckled to herself
"You're such a hot mouth Ninsuko-chan" and with that Kaoru filled the bowls with rice…
"I know, but hey somebody's gotta love me" she deciphered.
"Ne! That's why you got Chazu-chan---that way, he can keep you check and in order, hmm?" Kaoru laughed knowing Ninsuko would huff.
And yeh, she did, but it didn't stop them from being the best of buds. Ninsuko stirred the soup, the vegetables, tofu pieces, fish and pepper strips really made the soup irresistible. She inhaled the smell…
"This smells soooo good"
Kaoru inhaled deeply and she had to admit it rocked. Ninsuko out the fire and began opening the top cupboards looking for some bowls. Not to particular with what she was handling, Ninsuko immediately withdrew her hand and screamed. Kaoru who was cutting carrots nearly aimed and cut her finger off. Baffled at the older girl's outburst Kaoru worriedly and expectantly looked at Ninsuko.
"Ninsuko-chan, what is wrong?" asked Kaoru expectantly
Ninsuko covered her mouth to refrain herself from screaming while she pointed to the open cupboard. Whatever was within certainly made the witty girl go white.
Kaoru peered in and turned white. Her hairs were on edge and her face draped in grouse.
Two angry eyes in a face of mud-brown fur, long whiskers and sharp gleaming white teeth.
"A RAT!!" she screamed, "oh grouse oh grouse oh gosh grouse. It's a stinky rat"
"Get away quick Kao" Ninsuko exclaimed.
Before Kaoru could move, the rat jumped up, it's claws scrabbling on wooden table. It uttered very much catlike hissing sounds and often to add to it's intimidation on the girls, snapped it's claws.
Kaoru gasped and stumbled from her position, to be as far as possible from hair-ball over there.
With another hiss, the girls held one another scared as ever. The rat leaped down from the table while pausing when it settled on the floor. The rat stared at the both girls who frantically clutched each other for their dear life. Whatever it was, weather it be the rat wanting to bite them or not, he deciphered it would spare them until another day. Then it scurried down the sink area, it's long hairless tail sending shivers up their spines.
The both let out a sigh of relief, "phew! I'm glad that's over…" pause Ninsuko "that thing was huge and UGLY"
"Y-yeah…" stuttered Kaoru. She was obviously scared beyond all reason. Ninsuko try shaking the girl but it didn't work. She placed her on the table to sit making sure the girl was at least breathing normally. The expression was ghost like and implying shock most definitely. Then something caught the bigger girls attention. 'Did the rat bite Kaoru?' she viewed Kaoru's neck, realizing it was definitely a bite, but from what, she narrowed her brows in suspicion and then began screaming when it hit her.
Kaoru---who was finally grasping back to reality fell off the table and went all swirly eye…
'Oh the pretty butterflies'
Collecting herself she stood on the table very frightened that the rat had return. Grabbing a pan she asked worriedly "where's the rat? T-tell me"
Ninsuko pointed at Kaoru screaming like hell.
"IT'S ON ME---OH GODDD---GET IT OFF" she screamed…
Many of the Ishinshin girls ran in wondering what had happened…
"What's the matter?" asked some of the girls
"THERE'S A RAT SOMEWHERE" Kaoru screamed seeing Ninsuko holding her mouth and screaming…
The girls panicked and began jumping on the table.
Matsura hearing the choir of screams went immediately to the kitchen. On the case she saw all the girls on the table except for Ninsuko of course.
"What is the problem with them Ninsuko?" Matsura asked
She pointed at Kaoru…
Matsura didn't understand. Hence she couldn't concentrate with all the screaming. Hushing the girls they all went hushed.
"Now Ninsuko-chan, what is the problem?" asked Matsura exasperated
Ninsuko pointed again and again at Kaoru and the girls began inspecting Kaoru. Ayami gasped when she saw what Ninsuko freaked out…
"OH MY GOD KAORU-CHAN" Ayami screamed and with that all the Ishinshin girls
jumped off the table.
"Okay girls, what's with the screaming?" asked Matsura
"It's Kaoru-chan" Ayami retorted in glee
"Yes…but what about her?" asked Matsura
"Kaoru-chan-----she's got a you know what on her neck" Ayami spoke and all the girls began watching…
Kaoru covered her neck…

After breakfast Kenshin took her into Kyoto for some sight-seeing.
"Where are we going?" she asked
"A place" he spoke
"What place?" she asked innocently, eyes full of angel blue…
"On that hill" he pointed off…
"That's far--" she whistled
"I know. We may need to buy a few things for the little walk" he added
"Oh, yes" she smiled loving how shopping sounded.
He nodded and with that, their first stop was at fabric stall. Kaoru studied the pretty silks which were embossed with fancy patterns…
Her eyes trailed off to the very large black and see-through burgundy cloth which was big enough to cover a person. The colours created a Japanese word, in kanji with a circle around it was the word 'love' bold. Kaoru blushed…
She really liked the cloth, mine you even if it did have that word…
The woman seeing the young girls shame and love for the cloth laughed.
Kenshin turned to his girl seeing her paying for the package. She smiled and waved at the lady and then went to Kenshin. A wicked smile on her face.
"What's that smile about?" he asked curiously…
"I'm just thinking of how dreamy you look in that hat and with all that armor. How come you never take it off?" she asked
"I always have to be on the look out koishii, it's very important" he added
"Oh, I see" she innocently spoke
"So what did you buy?" he asked
"You'll see it---eventually" she blushed…
Kenshin smirked, and with that they both held hands and began walking around the town.
They walked for a couple of minutes sight-seeing Kyoto's busy streets. Their were clothing stalls, restaurants, bars and even those books stores. Paper boys roamed the streets, while men and women littered the ground. A few pretty-faces walked hand in hand with their husbands, boyfriends or perhaps clients. Japan was a land of so much fascination. So much exquisite tradition and culture, mine you, even if it was being built on rumble of the Bakumastu. She sighed, 'the Bakumastu---it was a time of blood and infinite sin. Sometimes she asked herself, how could she really save a nation that does more answering of questions via murdering?' she didn't know. Though she should care, she didn't right now. At least not now though, why you ask? Because she had other things which took her concentration away. Him…her koishii, her Kokoro. Smiling at that thought, she knew at least she was a winner somewhere. Small it be to look at from some outsider, she considered it truly amazing and unbelievable--at what she accomplished and most certainly gained-.
They both entered a restaurant which grew wide population amongst the locals. It was also a special place to Kaoru, mainly because she ate her first Japanese meal there.
"Hello how may I help you? What would you and your wife have?" asked the young woman asked
Kenshin and Kaoru blushed.
"What should we eat, anata?" she looked into his eyes…
"Anything you want koibito" he looked deeper into her eyes
The clerk looked from Kenshin's eyes to Kaoru's, and sighed deeply.
"Sorry to break the touchy moment but I believe you two came here to buy something to eat, yes?" asked the clerk
"Samunu" they both spoke
The clerk rolled her eyes and waited for the order. They ordered a meal and then sat down close to one another speaking about -------stuff.
"When did we get married?" he whispered in her ear
"I don't know, but I like it" she looked at him, hugging him close to her…
"Me too" and with that, he kissed her. Kaoru placed a hand over his cheek and kissed him harder. Japanese never kissed in public, but the way Kenshin and Kaoru conducted themselves, were like lovers who hadn't seen each other for a very long them. Buttttttttt expect this sorta interaction from teenagers, aint I write mi-teens?
"A-hem! Excuse me, your meal is ready---" Kenshin and Kaoru blushed and took up their meals…

They both walked up the rocky path with a small distance dividing them. Kenshin helped her up the rocks with a hand, she raised the front of her kimono and walked up the rocks with his help. Up the path they went for an hour and half.
"Kenshin,----I'm hot, I'm tired and I sticky" Kaoru whined…
"Your tough" he spoke.
"Baka" she gave him a deep glare…
He hinted his brows and waited for her. Lifting her up in bridal style, she looked at him expectantly.
"Hold on" and with that, he ran up the hill with god-like speed.
Reaching the top, she gasped…
Placing her feet on the floor, she looked around, amazed… "it's beautiful" she glowed
"Not as beautiful as you" he touched her shoulder… (An: a cliché, forgive)
With that they wasted no time and got right down to business. Wrapping her up in his embrace, he looked deeply into her eyes and slowly pressed his forehead against hers. His eyes menacing but extrovert in every eloquent string of love and compassion he transcended. His eyes were beautiful, amber and hunting. They were so iridescent, preaching so much maturity and responsibility, things she was not experienced in. Blowing some of his locks out his face, he held her chin and smiled.
If tomorrow is judgment day, and they're standing on the front line, and the lord asked them what did with their lives, I'm sure they'd say, they spent it together. If they were to wake up in war, and see everything burnt and gone, they'd wanna go home but it's okay still, they're together.
There is something books and stories could not maintain when the description of two lovers were together. Writing could never catch that special emotion. The awesome emotion was so indescribable---there was no use explaining it. The hardest challenge for any writer.
"Kennny" she squealed when the both went rolling in the grass. He placed his head on her bosom listening to her heart. It sang so much love for him. How he loved her for showing him that. Shutting his eyes, he felt her smoothening his hair, she was so gentle and quiet at times, he liked her this way, but he loved her when she was herself, extrovert, wild, and free. That was pacifism to him at least.
"Hey bishouhen" she whispered
"Yeah beautiful?" he answered
"Are you hungry…?" she mumbled
"Hmm--mm" And with that she got the food and began placing it out on platters.
Kenshin lied on Kaoru's lap while she feed him.
"Here's a piece of fishie" and she placed it into his mouth, he had captured her fingers in his mouth. Pulling her face into him, he bit the fish and then kissed her with everything…
They withdrew and looked hazy into the next eyes…
(An: Don't you people find this romance is so boring…no ideas basically. Sowwie! TT)
In minutes time she was lying next to him. Snuggling close, Kenshin felt that his life was complete. Everything he had wanted was his…all his. Forever and ever…
Kenshin listened to nature and his woman breathe. She was perfect with everything around him. "Kaoru do you hear that?" asked Kenshin
"Hear what?" she perked up, eyes full of innocence…
"Hear nothing" he laughed and so did she.
"No…but really koishii, are you hearing that?" he asked quizzically
"Hmm…no"
"That noise, it sounds like water" he spoke and with that they both got up and began wandering about the place. Kenshin could see a large stream and bought Kaoru down to see it with him..
"Pretty" she spoke and with that Kenshin sat by a tree. Kaoru went to the stream where she wet her feet and allowed nature to soothe her senses…
'Everything is sooooooooooooo perfect! Japan rocks!'
Kenshin retired under a tree where Kaoru soon followed his suit.
Placing her to the side of him, he sat up, but she sat right back on his lap…
He kissed her cheeks when he found her too much. Placing a hand on his knee, a small bird flew on it. Kaoru gasped, marveling at the bird…
Kenshin seeing her innocence, made her raise a hand, connecting his finger with hers, so that the little bird could walk across to her hand…
She gasped at the bird, loving it's colour…
Wanting to touch it the bird flew away… she pouted her cheeks and Kenshin smiled. Getting off, he felt too much heat.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Taking off my clothes" he began talking off his gi and went straight to the stream…
Kaoru perched herself over a large rock watching him.
"Come on in, the water's great" he spoke
"I can't" she spoke worriedly
"Why not?" he asked
"I--I can't swim" she retorted in a whisper
"You gotta be kidding me" he spoke…
She didn't answer. An: regardless the bath in the sea, Kao can't swim
"Come on Kaoru, I'll teach you" he spoke
"Swear?" she asked seeing evilness in his eyes
"I swear" he waited for her. She nodded. Loosing the obi and she took off the first kimono and was left in her inner kimono…
She looked uncertain at the water and then jumped into Kenshin, he immediately caught her.
"Can you touch the bottom?" he asked…
"---Aghh, no" she came closer to him…
"How am I gonna bath if you won't let me move?" he asked
"Well you just won't be able to move" she stuck out her tongue…
He slowly made her gain familiarity with the water, and before she knew it, she was swimming on her own accord without his help.
"You know Kaoru" Kenshin spoke
"What?" asked she
"I'm not holding you---you're swimming on your own" he spoke
"WHAT??" She looked scared and then collected herself. Fear still maimed her face, but she slowly got the hang of things. Placing a hand through the water, she saw how easy it was…
Kenshin took a dive and she wondered where he had gone. The next thing she knew she was pulled under water. He kissed her, and for one moment life was not running on anything but love. Kaoru loving this man so much, touched his cheek and felt the meaning of true love…
Time shifted from innocent noon to vintage dusk. It asked and dared new things. Built on the wicked shades of bloody red and dark orange, the sky was passport for evening. The golden sunset winked at the two, as it dipped into the earth splurging a sea of honey all over the shores of Japan.
They both began swimming out and Kaoru suddenly felt cold. Kenshin wrapped his hands around her shoulders and kissed her.
He shivered…
"Lets get our stuff and go to the beach" he spoke
"But its so late" Kaoru added
"I told Katsura we would back real late, so he knows" and with that she nodded. Getting her kimono she changed off and then joined Kenshin.
They both walked at the side of stream to the sea with the sun embracing and bordering their hands. Their interlace of love and connection, were their strongest power on earth.
Kenshin pushed Kaoru, and she pushed him, before you knew it she was casing him…
"I wish this day would last forever…"
