Chapter 10- Love scenes, hanging with the boys, hurt…and new friends…
An: The story is under citrus alert…
I wish I could run with him forever and never look back. I would run so far----that I'd feel like I've covered the whole world. I want to be with him, forever…
Forever…
"Kenshin" I screamed when I felt him ready to catch me…
Lovers ran through the forest, the moonlight through the trees mosaic on their faces. Such lovers let all the frustrations and pains slip from their hands…
He caught her, spinning her around in a circle. She screamed loving everything wonderful that had taken place. He stopped, letting her calm from the vertigo. Holding her head, Kaoru slanted and began falling. Kenshin caught her. Leaning her forehead against his, she watched up at him bedazzled and hazed. Touching his nose against hers, she smiled. The same smile that sin to be so beautiful he wish no one else could see. She pushed her lips against his, kissing him whole and proud. He tasted her for her wishes, her anticipations and then, just for her. And he agreed, she tasted great just being herself.
"We should be getting home…"she whispered…
"We should" he looked lazily heated into her eyes…
"Then follow the leader" she pinched his cheek, knowing he didn't like to be pinched.
"Ouchhh"
She giggled and ran…ran from him.
"You can run, but you can't hide"
Kenshin and I had reached back in record time to the Ishin shishi. Tired and exhausted from our little 'experience', I yawned. Tiredly we approached my room. Kenshin soon followed in, with his navy yukata which I loved…
"So what do you do each night that I should know about?" he teased…Kaoru blushed…
"Nothing, but I do pray…why don't you pray with me" she whispered softly…
"Pray? I thought you say God hears your sighs and most painful cries…?" he asked curiously
"Yes, but I'm sure God likes to hear us too…so pray with me" she spoke and with that he nodded. She clasped her hands together, bowed her head and closed her eyes.
"Dear god, thank you for the day which you have blessed us with. Thank you for everything you have given and made us happy to live with. Thank you oh heavenly merciful Jesus for you supreme blessings. We hope to continue to praise in you and find the way, may your blood wash away all our sins and we be left different from this society. Forgive us your sinners dear lord Jesus, in Jesus name we pray, amen…" she spoke and with that she kept her eyes shut…
Kenshin whispered his amen and watched her. He realize she still was reciting a pray so he respected her prayers by being silent. When she kissed her clasped hands and opened her eyes she smiled at him…
"What were you praying for?" asked Kenshin
"I was thanking him for giving you to me… " she went closer to Kenshin.
She placed her head against his chest while he hugged her to him…
"How long do you think we could keep this from everyone?" he asked…
"I dunno. It scares me that we're hiding it…" she cuddled closer…
"It's okay…it doesn't have to be right now…when things progress---don't worry your pretty head koishii…it'll only make you grieve" he whispered
"Hmm, you got that right" and with that she closed her eyes…
Kenshin pet her, looking at her small face. They both were tired from everything that had happened. Kenshin thought about how they first met, he never dreamt to hold an angel. Who knew he would have been bounded to her. But he was happy fate made her his, and that was all he wanted… with that his eyes flickered to a never-before-seen amber.
'No one will have you but me' he swore looking at her sleeping face. Kissing her on the forehead, he placed her bed and with that watched her. One last time…
She called his name… "I love you…always" she whispered the ending…
Kenshin bowed his head and walked out her room.
Kenshin made a stroll to his room. Opening the shoji he sat by his window and looked at the stars. How he loved to star-gaze. They night was truly beautiful, and what the heavens witnessed and the angels saw, was much more than the taming of evil, but the beginning of something magical and anew, quite rare, but the rarity of just having it, made it beautiful, and something to die for. He connected the stars and slowly before his very eyes, he made her face…
'When I close my eyes, I am at the center of her heart, and for once the universe revolves around me. For that, I can not fail her' and with that he slowly tried allowing sleep…

(Next Morning)
"Meaning?" asked Ayami harshly…
"You know what back off means" Ninsuko quarreled.
"Why don't you shut your mouth" Ayami rapped
"Why don't you shut yours?! Look Ayami, I don't like you flirting with Chazu. You got that in your big thick head?" Ninsuko argued…
"MORON" Ayami screamed…
Kenshin looked at both of the girls and found it amusing. It was a mystery sometimes who was more violent, the men of the Bakumastu or girls? He didn't know.
Kaoru was still asleep and it was 11am.
Kenshin walked away from the girls looking out into the hot courtyard.
"Why don't you like--er---Himura-san" Ninsuko spoke seeing the only person her eyes could settle on.
Kenshin closed his eyes, 'you want Kaoru to kill me?' Kenshin thought
"He likes Kaoru-chan…" Ayami spoke
"How do you know that?" Ninsuko retorted…
"The hecki" Ayami shouted
"How do you know Himura gave it to her?" Ninsuko asked diligently…
"Kaoru-chan said so" Ayami rapped
"What if Kaoru-chan's lying?" Ninsuko spoke thoughtfully.
"True…then I would obviously like him…" Ayami smiled to herself
"There he is" Ninsuko spoke seeing Kenshin sitting in the corner…
Ayami smiled and walked confidently to Kenshin. He could feel her ki approaching him. She sat next to him. Holding one of his hands, his eyes fluttered open, he looked at her with coldness.
"Himura-san, has anybody ever told you, you're so cute?" she asked hotly.
He didn't answer. His face was devoid and decided leaving her in great hesitation.
"Well you are!!" she drew closer.
It was through all her loud babbling that fate objected and said, "enough already."
Ninsuko and Chazu sat close to each other minding their own business until trouble occurred just right around the corner. Slapping her face she saw Kaoru up and yawning coming from the hall. 'Oh boy…this isn't good!!'
"Ayami-chan, come here---" Ninsuko whispered loudly…
"Why---I'm getting a thing going on" Ayami angrily spoke
"Yeh, that's real nice and all, but you may not live after with whose coming down the hall" Ninsuko bit her lips…
"Whatever girl---now where were we Himura?" she leaned forward, her lips redder than usual. Kenshin caught the sight of pink move behind her, it was Kaoru. She was and Kaoru was yawning and scratching her eyes. Ninsuko was pushing her in the opposite direction, but Ayami's voice sold them out.
"You're so cute Himura-san" she drew closer. Kenshin face was devoid.
Kaoru froze when she saw the close contact. She watched a bit confused, and then, hurt. Kenshin saw the hurt and pain floating in her eyes…she frowned and walked away. Bowing her head she walked to the bathroom.
All the while Kenshin was confused as hell as to what to do. He knew he had to get rid of Ayami, but he didn't quite know how to do it. He stressed a sad and pathetic look at Ninsuko, and the girl perfectly understood the eye contact.
"Come on you kissing geisha" Ninsuko pulled Ayami's collar and the both made their way inside. Kenshin sighed to himself and went looking for Kaoru. He came close enough to the bathhouse and heard muffled cries and sobs.
"Stupid Kenshin" she sounded almost a little too cute saying that. A splash of water made him register she was taking her vexation out on the water…
Walking to the back of the bathhouse, he stood up by the somewhat broken window and entered.
"Just yesterday he told me he loved me…and now" she sobbed…
Kenshin waited for her to come out…
"You know you have some nerve" she started loudly.
"You're so beautiful" he mused…
Kaoru blushed harder. 'Stay focus girlfriend, focus'
"Stop it, I know what you're trying to do" she seem very indignant. Kenshin arched a brow, "oh really, so you do know I was trying to…" he placed his hand to her tempered cheek
Kaoru would have allowed him, but he was caught with another woman.
"NO" she pushed him back. Kenshin was amused.
"Fine Kaoru, what is it?" a slight anger in his eyes.
Kaoru swallowed seeing his eyes deep amber and teeth slightly gritted in anger.
"Huh? Tell me" he stood perfectly square watching her in the eyes…
She would have cried, but she didn't. "You were caught with Ayami-san" she paused, "do you think I like that?" she shouted…
"I wasn't doing anything with her. She happen to be flirting, but nevertheless, it wasn't working. I wasn't interested in her…" he spoke murderously low.
"You weren't?" Kaoru asked innocently…
"No…baby" his voice became soft…
"Then why didn't you push her back?" Kaoru asked sweetly, yet evil in her meaning.
"Haahah. You don't want everybody to know we're together now?" he asked amused…
"No…but…it would be nice if you would learn to appreciate only me" she sounded selfish and cute. Kenshin grinned evilly.
"Hmm-- I dunno Kaoru…I mean, I am gorgeous…" he started…
"Nani?" she couldn't believe she was hearing this…
"And deadly…and baby-girl, I do have the perfect package any girl could want…" he walked to her his eyes thick of raw vanity.
"But" he paused. His eyes bubbling raw amber while his soul screamed to do the unknown. "I only want one girl…and I'm looking at her" he ended while pulling Kaoru to him. She kissed him while he kissed back

"Ready for breakfast?" she asked
"I ate already, it's eleven, did you know?" he touched her nose…
"Really, is it? By gods, it's really late, well then I'm going to have a snack. See you in a giffy, okay?" she asked cutely…
"Hai…" something flashed in his eyes and with that they departed…
Kaoru entered the kitchen, noticing the girls were cooking lunch. Kaoru was amused at them. They were really perfect, as they all worked and toyed together, almost a little too graciously.
Kaoru sat on the table…
"Ninsuko-san…can I ask you a question" Kaoru asked kindly…
"No you can't cook…sit this one out"
Kaoru gasped and pouted. "How could you, and you're suppose to be my bestest friend in the whole widest world" she sniffed, "you're so mean, you meano…I'm going to tell my daddy" Kaoru spoke angelically cute.
"Awww…did Ninsuko-sama make chibi-chan cry? Awww…well guess what, I, don't, care…chao" she gave Kaoru a peace sign…
"Meano…" Kaoru huffed angrily…
"What was that?" Ninsuko asked, knowing fully well what she said…
"I said, you're a meano…a big meano, and Kao-chan no like meanos' and that means you" Kaoru folded her hands and gave a cut-eye look…
"Oww, I'm so threatened. But then…why should I? You know Kaoru-chan, what you're saying isn't the truth at all, now is it Kaoru-chan?" she asked arching a brow in thought
"What are you talking about?" Kaoru asked quizzically…
"Himura-san…" Ninsuko dropped the awesome card… 'Kenshin'
Kaoru bit her lips and blinked back innocently…
"Tell me, isn't he a meano, how come I tend to find you still kissing him?" she said flatly…
"You're good at this you know…?" Kaoru bitter truthfully…
"I know. What do you expect from a natural?" Ninsuko was taking in the spot-light…
"Well don't take it to your head Mrs. Chiong, I never meant to make you feel that good" Strike one.
All the girls in the kitchen laughed when they heard Kaoru call Ninsuko, Mrs. Chiong. It was Chazu's surname, and nobody knew they had grown that accustomed, or close for that matter. But Kaoru had grown just as evil as Ninsuko, mainly because Ninsuko usually spoke pretty-vulgar topics in front the innocent girl. But, even if Kaoru wasn't a lil devil, she probably just learned tactics from the bigger girl, using it back on her, in her own game… ain't vengeance sweet?
Ninsuko fisted her hands and screamed out in anger…
"What's the matter, angry that I spoke the truth? Now now, there's nothing wrong with the truth, now is there?" Kaoru blinked back wondering…
"You know what, you're right. That's absolutely true. There's nothing wrong with the truth. I agree, I'll be the future wife of Chazu, but why don't you use your same motto to confess to everyone you and Himura made love… hmm?" Ninsuko banged her hands on the table Kaoru had been sitting by.
"Why don't you tell us?" Kaoru's eyes shot open…
"Or how he says, he wants you" she gave Kaoru some serious adrenalin rushes.
"Ninsuko-san…stop it, Kaoru-chan is the youngest here, don't speak like that around her" came another girl called Miniyoto.
"Oh come on, Kaoru's not that dumb. She knows what I mean, don't you, you little rascal…?"
"You're a pervert, uh-huh…and you're going to get it from Matsura-san…" Kaoru pouted…
"For what?! Even she knows the truth. You might think everyone is dumb to what's been happening to you and Himura-san, Kao. But get this, we know something happened, we know…and every time you try to hide it, weather its with those cute pouts, puffy cheeks, biting of the lips, battering of the innocent eyes, then get this, we know…and we've seen it all" the way she dropped her voice in hues scared her…
Kaoru's eyes watered. Had this all become discernible to everyone? Did everyone know about her little episode last night? But she had to reckon, it was a special place to Kenshin, hence he'd sense someone was watching. Ninsuko was just using her tactic to frighten her and right she was when she knew she could victimize the dumbness person for it, her (Kaoru).
"I have news for you Ninsuko-chan" Kaoru shot up…
"Oh?"
"Whatever you say…" Kaoru wiped her tears, angry that Ninsuko would be so low. "Is a goddamn lie like you" Kaoru walked away angrily…
The girls gasped when they saw Kaoru truly angry. Ninsuko blinked back, had this happened? She didn't mean for it to turn into a real argument. The girls looked at Ninsuko, the girl could only stand and take the cold stares.
Kaoru huffed past her father and the Ishin shishi men. She went under a Sakura tree and sat plump under it. A few Sakuras fell in her face and all she'd do was blow them away angrily. A few got stuck in hair and that made her scream out when she managed to get them out but more returned.
Kaoru leaned back on the trunk of the tree. She was angry. Very angry. She pulled the grass from around her out the ground just pelting it away in anger.
"Kaoru-chan" came an olden voice…
"What?" came her first rude and hott reply…
"Um, hmm, what's the matter?" asked the oldest Ishin ishishi boy…
"A little girl just made me angry" she crossed her arms tightly across her chest…
"Ahhh, and what did she say so bad to upset you?"
"Stuff"
"Um what kinna stuff?" he asked
"Bad stuff"
The boy called for back-up from the other boys. One of which Kenshin was not one. He had been in the building hearing the plan for the kill that night…
"So she said you and Himura ---you know, you know?" one of the boys said…
Kaoru perked up…gasping
The boys laughed at her innocence.
"What? What's so funny…?"
"It's you Kaoru-chan…"
"Me? I'm not funny…I'm not a clown, do you see a red nose? Nooo…you don't" she aware.
They stopped when they saw Kenshin approaching…
"So, is that why you're angry with Ninsuko-chan?" asked Chazu…
"Well yes, she's my bestest friend in the whole world, and ---it hurts me she'd say something so low, when yeh, it hasn't happened…yet at least" thought Kaoru…
"Hhahahah! So it's yet to happen?" Chazu asked and with that the boys laughed.
"No…I mean, yes…no…no I meant no" Kaoru fumbled with her words. Boys really knew how to tie-tongue her…
"What are you all…" came a new voice, until it stopped on the sight of Kaoru…
"Hey Kenshin" Kaoru waved at him…
He arched a brow, "what are you all doing?" he asked coldly…
"Talking" everyone unanimously, said…
"About?" came his curt cold question…
"Nothing" was everyone's reply…
"Nothing? That's a very interesting topic…" Kenshin said coldly. Some men swallowed. Many people feared Kenshin for the Battousai he was. But Kaoru wasn't afraid of him for nothing. She loved him, and adored him for the God he was in her heart.
"Why don't you sit with us Kenshin…?" Kaoru asked sweetly… the boys knew she was trying to pull a thing with the hitokiri. They knew he wasn't interested in relationship, but Kaoru was all-together a different case. She was the type of girl, most boys found themselves after--some in which were rare. She was rarity, which most men wanted, and she happen to be already unnoticeably claimed.
"Iie. I have work to do…" he was about to leave when she pulled his hand.
"No…you'll sit and talk with us…" she made sure he sat next to her…
"Fine, but only five minutes" he aware her…
"A scouts honour" she smiled…
"So Kaoru-chan, if I wanna get a girl, how do I get one?" asked one of the younger boys…
"Well don't act desperate. Girls don't like boys who act desperate or are for the same reason. They like boys who have some shadow, and mystery about them. Something to keep them tied to you. You have to make a girl like you, by doing things she like, but you like as well. But then there's times, where you have to do things you like, regardless if you know she won't like it…" she paused, waiting for him to respond…
"But won't she get angry?" he asked
"Not technically. If you've known her for a while, and she's known you for a while too, then she knows what you're doing is for humor or her anger-sake. So I guess you should literally take the situation to another one…" she laughed…
Everyone arched a brow.
"Which is?" was everyone's inquiry…
"Simple. If its something she doesn't like, make her try to spank yuh…"
"Spank me?"
"Yup, spank yuh. And when she chases you, you'll tend to find it's more fun. You can wet her with water, throw flowers in her face, or even push her in a river…" some of the things she said sounded a lot similar to what she and Kenshin had been through…
"Will that work Kaoru-chan?"
"Yes…most definitely." She chirped…
"Aren't you a little too confident?" intruded Kenshin…
"What makes you, think that?" she flashed something at him.
He dared her, "because not everything you suggest may work for him. Life is fickle you know"
"I know…but what can I say? Because life is fickle, maybe the message is to try…and win her heart. Girls love heroes'. And heroes love fair maidens…and that's how fair-tales end. No more…no less…but between those lines a fine line sticks out, fight for the ones we love…" she smiled at Kenshin. He didn't give Kaoru the victory she wanted…
"Whatever Kaoru" he coldly answered.
She bit her lips when he sounded so cold.
Everyone felt the tension between the two. It was very cold and tight. Chazu did his best to bring both back to reality.
"Anyone for some fruit?" he asked…
"Sure…" answered the whole crowd.
"Good, well I got a bunch of fruits…so help yourselves…" he opened his small bag and began handing each of them an orange fruit. Kaoru inspected the fruit she didn't known how to eat it. She bit the outer skin but it was hard and sour. She made a deform face.
Everyone laughed, "you're not suppose to eat it like that…" spoke Chazu…
"Oh…then how are you suppose to eat it?" she asked cutely…
"Um, maybe Himura-san could show you?!" the boy directed at Kenshin
Kenshin shot the boy a cold stare.
Kenshin took the knife Chazu offered and began peeling his fruit. Kaoru inspected curiously how he did it. He cut the fruit in half, then in quarters, then in eightieths.
"How am I to eat it?" she asked a pretty stupid question, but she already didn't know much of her culture so they might as well…
Kenshin mentally kicked himself. "Open your mouth"
Everyone stopped chewing their fruit…
Kaoru opened her mouth, "ahh!!"
Kenshin pushed the fruit between her lips. She bit down on the fruit, her tongue unnoticed to all touching his fingertips. She chewed on the fruit.
"How does it taste?" asked Kenshin…
"It tastes" she chewed some more until she swallowed it, "it tastes good"
And with that she took the knife and began peeling her fruit. She peeled the fruit well, but in the time and the causality of the day, a girl shouted out to the group.
"Lunch is ready…get your butts inside guys!!" Ninsuko shouted.
Kaoru accidentally let the knife go across her palm, sending the knife ripping a line of blood across her palm.
"Aghhh" She dropped the knife and held her palm.
"Oh shit" was the comment from many of the boys…
Kaoru stood up. Before she knew it her whole palm was in blood. Kenshin got up, and pulled her out the ring of boys. Holding her hand, he demonstrated to her to squeeze the blood out. All the while everyone noticed he had been behind her, his face right over her shoulder.
"It'll hurt…" she spoke…
"I know…" he softly spoke in her ear…
So with that he squeezed the blood out. Kaoru covered her face in his collar. She cried.
"Shh…it's okay…" he hushed her…
"Ken-SHINNN" she cried in his neck this time…
"Kaoru lets go inside…"
"I don't wanna gooo" she cried…
Kenshin turned slightly, "bring me some water, ointment and bandages…now Chazu" ordered Kenshin.
The boy nodded and with that he ran into the establishment for the requested inventory. He ran past Ninsuko for bandages, past Katsura for water and past Matsura for ointment.
With all his speed he skid out the house when he heard Kaoru scream yet another time.
Everyone hearing a female cry out, made their way to a crying Kaoru who was in Kenshin's arms. She was hugging him whilst he was rubbing her back and whispering something incoherent in her ear…
Katsura grew alarmed.
"What happened?" he asked running to her…
"She accidentally cut herself" spoke one of the boys…
"With what?"
"A knife…"
Matsura and the girls of the Ishin shishi came out alarmed as well. Kenshin pulled away.
"Kaoru?"
She sniffed, but she didn't look up…
"Kaoru" he raised her chin
"Sit down" Kenshin sat first…
"On--you?" she asked shocked…
"Hai"
She sat on his lap while he addressed the wound. Washing the wound from the blood, Kaoru screamed and turned to a sweet surrender in Kenshin's neck. She pulled on his gi, crying sorrowfully in his neck.
"Okay, shhh…it's nearly done" he contorted his speech for her…
She sniffed. Looking at her wound cutely from his neck, Kenshin applied the ointment on her wound, where she bit her lips and covered her face back into the crook of his neck. Wrapping it in the bandages, he made a knot and patted it.
"It's done…you can look at it now" he whispered for her…
She cutely came out her little hiding place. She looked at her hand sadly.
"Thank you Kenni" she gave him a hug and everyone went mush.
Kenshin smirked, "your welcome…now up" she was helped up and with that she went to the eating room. She sat in her usual spot next to Kenshin. He came to his seat with Katsura, Katagi and Maebi close behind.
Kaoru watched them. They looked like the most powerful people she ever saw.
Kenshin sat next to Kaoru watching her.
"Hand feeling better?" he asked
"A little Kenni…"
"Well don't exert your hand too much…" he pointed out…
"Okie dokie" and with that she turned from him.
Ninsuko hadn't seen Kaoru in the kitchen and she found it a bit odd.
"Matsura-san" called the girl.
"Hai Ninsuko-chan?"
"Where's Kaoru-chan, isn't she going to help us serve?"
"I'm afraid not my dear. Kaoru-chan got herself a gash across the hand…poor dear. I guess she'll have to sit this one out for a while until that hand of hers, recovers" spoke the woman and with that she placed more soup in the bowls.
"Oh my" thought Ninsuko. 'Have I made her cut herself? Oh kami-sama. This isn't good'
Ninsuko ran out and made her way to Kaoru's table…
Kaoru didn't see Ninsuko because she was talking to Kenshin.
"You have a visitor Kaoru" Kenshin pointed off…
"Really? Who…?" she turned to see Ninsuko…
"Oh it's just you" Kaoru frowned…
Kenshin could tell something happened.
"What do you want?" asked Kaoru…
"I---I wanted to know, how you got the gash…"
"I cut myself…" she spoke flatly…
"Intentionally?" asked Ninsuko… "because of me?"
"No…not intentionally. And no I did not cut myself because of you. I cut myself because I was cutting this fruit and somebody startled me by screaming out" she spoke…
"Oh…I see" she paused.
"Yeah"
"Look Kaoru-chan, I'm sorry I said all those mean--scandalous things. I didn't mean too. It's just...sometimes I think of you as my little sister, so I try using my tactics especially on you because you're so easy…to trick or even…make cry. I didn't do it for those reasons, I did it for joke, because the truth be told, you're getting as hott-mouth as me, and you know we can't have to kittie's doing the same gig when we know whose the professional?!" she laughed and so did Kaoru.
"So I'm sorry Kaoru-chan, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. So ---do you forgive me?" she asked softly…
"Of course I do, you're my bestest friend in the world wide world" she hugged the bigger girl…
"Aww shucks Kaoru-chan."
Kaoru smiled. "Well I gotta get back to my job before Matsura-san kills me. Oh by the way, I've realized something, you keep saying the word bestest, its not a word" she rallied out
"I know" Kaoru chirped…
"Ahh, well then, I'll leave you and your honey alone…chao" she laughed…
"Ninsukooo" Kaoru tried to sound mad, but to no avail did that work when her laughter got the better of her…
"She's got it bad Kaoru, talk some sense into that girl" Kenshin shook his head
"I can't" Kaoru spoke flatly…
"Why not?" he asked…
"Because, she has already possessed me…" she hinted her brows…
"Ahhh…"
"Um…Kenshin…" started Kaoru…
"Hai?"
"My mommy sent me a letter a couple of days…"
"Did she?"
"Yup…"
"Is it another pacifism letter, because if it is I'm not letting you go."
"So defensive aren't we?" she mused…
"You have no idea…"
"Well to inform you for the better, it's a Pacifism joining…"
"A joining?"
"Yes, a joining. A kind of ball, but a Japanese ball. Its been catered by the Pacifism Association, and the entire Ishin Shishi is invited. Isn't that terrific?"
"Um, I guess. To you that is…"
"Aren't you happy for me?"
"Yes of course I am…it's just, do you really think they'd want to see us, me? I mean when you get right down to it…its us who they're trying to turn to good. But it's men like me who won't fall to their words…why do they even try?" he whispered sadly in her face…
"Kenshin" she cupped his cheek. "Why do you deflate yourself so badly…you're more than that. I guess I've still have to show you how much pacifist I am when I make you detach from your blade…from your babe"
"You'd make me drop my sword?" his eyes darken and intoned with one language, coldness.
"You don't want to drop it, don't you?" she saw the look in his eyes…
"It's not that I don't want to drop it, it's just…it's so hard to let go the one thing I'm right for…that was made for me and as I was made for it…don't you see, it's harder than you imagine…"
"I have saved you so much. And…I, will continue to fight with you, and show you that you're worth more than a bloody murderer, you're worth in my heart…because you are my Kokoro, you are… my koishii" a tear fell down her cheek…
He moved away from her hand and just sat contemplating.
Lunchtime was over before you could 'expliclalidoshosflagrilistic'
Kenshin took retirement in his room whilst the entire Ishin shishi just hide under the roof. The rain began falling like so many countless times. Taking a parasol, Kaoru walked out the compound. So many working faces passed her. From men who pushed beautiful women in their one-man carriage, to people who sold papers, offered Inns and to the purchasing of flowers. Kaoru approached a young girl who stood by broken flower stall. She was the first Japanese girl that Kaoru had ever seen whom looked so lost.
The girl stood so still, water drenching her as she shut her eyes. Flowers were at the base of her foot. Kaoru picked up an iris and a white plum…
Kaoru walked to the girl. Her parasol came over keeping the girl in the shade of the rain; the girl opened her brown eyes to the blue eyes woman. "I believe these are yours" she handed the girl the only two flowers she could salvage…
The girl took them, "thank you…" tears suddenly began accumulating in her eyes. Her tears fell and she ran away from Kaoru dropping the flowers to Kaoru's feet. Kaoru watched as the young girl ran and made her way away from all. Kaoru in her heart, knew what she had to do. She was a pacifist and it was in her nature, especially hers, that made her extraordinarily different and accepted to society. Running after the girl. She searched high and low for this one girl until she found her in the mud on the floor.
Running to her, the girl looked up at Kaoru a second time…
"What do you want?" she asked angrily…
"Are you okay?" she asked caringly…
"Do I look alright to you?" she screamed…
"I'm sorry. But I was only trying to help you"
"How can you help a disease?"
"You'd be surprise how much I could help you…" she dropped to her knees looking at the girl…
"I don't offer you pain. I only offer friendship" she paused "I come in peace" Kaoru smiled…
"Are you trying to be funny" the girl got up, muddied and soaked…
"Look…" Kaoru got up, she herself was muddied, "I don't know what has happened, but you're in a mess and I'm willing to help you…why don't you open your eyes to accept that?" she asked…
"Because the people I thought I loved just hurt me. And normal people like you usually kill people like me…I don't need your pity" she bawled…
Behind the both women were a group of men.
"Ahh…my little darling there you are. We've been looking for you…" spoke one of the dirty looking men. He wore a mature face, with dark eyes and hair. He was a bit malnutrition looking, but Kaoru knew better than to tell people exactly what she saw.
"Come here" spoke the man rashly at the girl…
She stood and clenched her hand. "I am not your whore. I will not be your whore any longer…"
Kaoru gasped…
The sudden gasp made the men look higher into the distance. In the cloudiness and denseness of the rain another woman with a parasol in hand could be seen. A beautiful sapphire eye girl she was…
"You brought yourself a little friend…excellent" the men licked their lips…
Such a body would not be wasted, not even if they were restrained.
