When they were leaving the café, just before Kaoru got into the BMW again, Enishi leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Take care, my dear Kaoru…"
Kaoru was stunned.
In the car back to the villa, she became more and more confused when she thought everything over. What was everything evolving into?
Chapter 14
Kenshin sat on his bed, wondering about the conversation he had with Kaoru earlier. She was acting quite queer these days, usually not in focus. Something was bothering her, and he had no idea what. Then, he realized that he does not know much about her at all.
He remembered the weird bracelet she had been wearing eversince she came back from the trip that she went with Misao and Enishi. The bracelet seemed strangely familiar, he had seen it somewhere before. And Enishi, he had to beware of him as well. He was interested in Kaoru, and no one was going to take her away. Not before he was done with her.
He was going back tomorrow, he couldn't wait to tell Kaoru about his plans of them going away on a luxury yacht.
"What are you doing here?" Misao exclaimed, her eyes widened in fear.
"I am here to look after you." Aoshi said, moving closer to her.
"What! I can look after myself just fine!"
Aoshi just sat down comfortably on a big chair, ignoring her.
"Does Jiya know that you are here?"
"Yes."
"And he let you in?"
"No. I came in myself, he sensed my presence but did not do anything. He seemed to know me…"
"Know you?! Why would Jiya know someone like you!"
"You ask him, he just looked at the direction of my hiding place and said, 'Try to remember, Aoshi.'"
"What?!"
"Yeah, in fact, I think he knows that I am in your room right now."
"What?! I am going to talk to him!" Misao stomped towards the door. Aoshi got up from the chair and grabbed her from behind, pinning her body against his. His big hand over her mouth. Misao struggled violently.
"Just stay still for a while , Misao." Aoshi said. "Remember the time you spoke to me I the Aorta headquarters, you asking me if I remembered you. I still don't, but I think there was something familiar about you that I can't seem to know where to place."
Misao relaxed and Aoshi released her.
"You mean you really remembered nothing at all?"
"Yes. I have no memories of you or that man you called Jiya whatsoever."
"I don't know about Jiya knowing you, but we knew each other for sure…."
"Could you please tell me?"
"Huh?"
"Tell me about how we came to know each other."
"Are you sure you want to know? I mean, it might just get you even more confused."
"I am sure." Aoshi went to sit on the chair again.
Misao sighed, and sat on the bed uneasily. "Okay."
"Do you really love me, Megumi?" Sano asked, pulling Megumi closer to him.
"Really."
"Really, really?"
"Yes, really!"
"How about your engagement with Kenshin…?"
"He doesn't matter, he is with Kaoru anyway."
"Kaoru?!"
"Yeah, you didn't notice?"
"No!"
"You must have been more stupid than I thought!"
"Hey!"
"Stupid! Didn't you see the way they were looking at each other?"
"No…"
" So I let you go eventhough Aorta members are suppose to be members for life?"
"Yup. You were the one who defied all the elders and got me out. I used to work closely with you in the Aorta. I made this…" Misao said, holding up her wrist with the bracelet.
"You made that?"
"Yeah…it is upgraded already though…but it is still basically like how I designed it to be…"
"I was the one who upgraded it."
"Oh?"
"Yeah."
"I am tired, I need to sleep…it's so late already. Where are you going to sleep?"
"In here, I suppose."
"In here?!"
"Yeah, I can't think of anywhere else. I am with The Aorta, remember? Plus, that grandfather of yours is too suspicious."
"He is not my grandfather, he is my father!"
"Whatever…I am sleeping on the couch."
Someone was knocking at her door. It was so late…who could it be? Kaoru struggled to get up and went to the door sleepily. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Kenshin."
Kaoru became wide awake. "Kenshin?!"
"Yeah. Open the door…."
Kaoru opened the door. Kenshin was standing there, smiling lazily at her again.
"I thought you are coming back tomorrow!"
"I can't wait to see you, so I came back earlier than the rest."
Kaoru blushed. "Oh."
"Let's go for a late night's walk along the beach."
They were holding hands and strolling along the beach relaxingly.
"I am crazy about you." Kenshin said, he had meant 'I love you.', but couldn't seem to bring himself to say the words.
Kaoru felt her heart slammed against her ribs. "Me too…" she said weakly.
"Is that all?" he said, sounding disappointed.
"No, it's not…" Kaoru whispered. She drew him closer and kissed him, telling him something that she was too afraid to tell him by words. She knew than, that she'll never forget about Kenshin, no matter what happens. She wanted to be with him today, tomorrow and maybe the day after next…as long as her appeal still last.
I am sorry that this chapter is so short. More is to come soon! Pls read and review!!!!!!!!!
