CHAPTER SEVEN

When Kaoru woke up, she found herself in a strange un-familiar bed, in to which she assumed was Megumi's office. She remembered that Sano had told her that Megumi had a surprise for them, though he never mentioned that it was good or bad. Kaoru should have never came here, she felt so stupid now that she knew what Megumi's surprise was. Kenshin was back, but what happened to him, he had a terrible looking would on his side, and Kaoru remembered that the last words she had said to him was 'go!' She wanted to cry and hated herself now as she saw Kenshin's sleeping face in her mind, he never got injured, not that bad. What was worse was that she had gotten herself drunk the day that he left! Why, why was she such a baka? Megumi came in then, and slid the door open and then closed it behind her.

"You're finally awake, Kaoru-Chan." Megumi said calmly. "When I was in Kyoto, I was visiting a sick patient who had recently moved there and there was a fight, I didn't see who it was fighting, but when I finally got close enough, a crowd had gathered and I had to get through the crowd and a man cloaked in black ran away, jumping over people and knocking them down as he tried to escaped. I had to order these people to move aside for me since I was a doctor and needed to look at any wounded and I saw Kenshin…."

Kaoru just stared at Megumi in shock. Kenshin, her Kenshin, Kenshin never got knocked out. Not as long as she knew him he had never been knocked unconscounce. Not once, he had gotten injured yes, but not this badly injured. "Can I see him?" Kaoru asked Megumi who nodded.

"Yes, but try to keep it down, he needs his rest. He woke up earlier sometime after you fainted and we tried asking what happened but he wouldn't answer." Megumi said which made Kaoru look to the ground.

"It's all my fault." Kaoru said almost silently. "It's all my fault, if I didn't tell him to leave…"

"No, you can't blame yourself for what happened to Ken-San when he is away." Megumi said as she tried to reassure the younger woman. "He's the baka who kissed you and then ran off."

"He kissed me?" Kaoru asked blinking not remembering that.

"Hai, you don't remember that? You must have been extremely drunk not to." Megumi said sighing and shook her head.

Kaoru blushed. "Where are Sanosuke and Yahiko?"

"Yahiko and Sano have been helping me out around here since I don't want the two of them to bother Ken-San." Megumi said. "I've been keeping them busy."

Megumi led Kaoru down the hall to the room where Kenshin was, she wasn't sure if Kenshin was still sleeping but Kaoru wanted to see him even if he was. Kaoru slid open the door quietly and walked in, she noticed that Megumi shut the door behind Kaoru. (I would have said behind her but this is just in case some of you get confused to behind her.) Kaoru walked over to where Kenshin was quietly and looked down at his sleeping face. "Kenshin…" She whispered and sighed.

"Kaoru-Dono…" Kenshin said sadly which made Kaoru step back a bit. "I didn't wake you did I?" She asked.

"No, Shessha (I read somewhere that Kenshin calls himself Sessha when he talks about himself. You can tell me if I'm wrong.) was already awake." Kenshin said as he looked up at her with his purple eyes.

"What happened to you Kenshin?" Kaoru asked as she placed her hand on to his cheek. She blushed as Kenshin touched her hand with his. "I got careless that's all." Kenshin said.

"Well if you wouldn't have been such a baka and decided that you wanted to leave none of this would have happened in the first place!" Kaoru suddenly snapped and pulled her hand. "BAka baka ba…" Before she could say any more Kenshin pulled her down and kissed her.

Kaoru looked at Kenshin once he broke the kiss and she couldn't help but blush. "Ken…shin…" He didn't say anything, all he did was look at her and smile. "Let's go home." Kenshin said and Kaoru couldn't help but look at him with tearful eyes. "Do you mean that Kenshin?"

"Yes, Sessha does." Kenshin said and Kaoru smiled down at him happily. "Hai! Once Megumi-San says that you can come." Kaoru said which made Kenshin frown. "You're not going to make me stay here much longer now are you?"

"This is YOUR fault for leaving you baka." Kaoru hissed.

"Hai, hai." Kenshin said giving in.
