Chapter Four - Feelings.

"Thanks again" Kaoru said softly as Kenshin pulled his sleek car beside the pavement. The Hotel looked very large and very expensive, Kaoru bit her lip she had all of five pounds fifty in her purse. Kenshin didn't say anything he just stared at the road ahead of him. "Huh…Kenshin"

"Are you going to get out of the car?" he asked still not looking at her but instead leaning out of the window to look behind him to see if he could pull out. "I have to be somewhere" he seethed.

Kaoru rolled her eyes and got out of the car. Quickly she slammed the door closed as hard as she could and she saw Kenshin turn around to stare at her in surprise, one eyebrow slightly raised.

"I was trying to thank you and apologise, do you have to be so…so…!" she said angrily her voice rising in the heat of the moment and her fists clenching by her sides.

"So what?" Kenshin asked quietly. Kaoru blinked and then stepped back. "Don't start something you can't finish" Kenshin said through the open window before he released the handbrake and speeded out onto the road. A car behind him hammered his horn angrily. Kaoru glared after the sports car and finally with a sigh she began walking along the high street.

The streets were packed with shoppers, school had just ended and excited girls and boys ran down the streets in school uniforms. A young kid bumped into her and she staggered. The boy looked up at her and smiled.

"Watch it ugly woman!" he smirked and then continued to run down the street "Catch ya later!" he shouted back. Kaoru blinked again and stared after the spiky hair boy.

"Catch ya later?" she said outloud wonderingly. "…and what do you mean ugly!" she yelled and beared her fist. The people around her stopped and stared and she laughed nervously rubbing her head and then as discreetly as possible side-stepped into the crowd.

Kaoru sighed and bit her lip. It was getting cold and it would be dark soon. Thunder clapped suddenly overhead and a streak of lightning raked the sky. The heavens opened and rain poured from the blackening clouds.

"Oh great!" Kaoru complained out-loud.

"Miss…" Kaoru looked up from the book she was reading to stare at the woman in the twead suit and the glasses. The woman was looking at her enquiringly. "Miss…the library is closing now" the woman said.

"Oh I'm sorry. I'll leave" Kaoru stood up suddenly and her bag went flying off the table. Its contents spilled out onto the floor and sighing she bent to pick them up. Suddenly her hand stilled as it hovered over the small notebook that was found with her. There at the base, at the back of the book, two words were written. Two words that sent a jolt of excitemint running through her.

"Kaoru Kamiya" she whispered.

"Excuse me?" the librarian said "Did you say something?" she asked.

"No" Kaoru smiled standing up, the contents hastily replaced in her bag. "I'm sorry for staying so late I should have gone a while ago" she apologised bowing and inclining her head.

"No honestly its alright" the librarian smiled brightly. "Have a safe journey home" she smiled and walked off. 'Home?' Kaoru thought wonderingly. Frowning slightly she replaced her books on their proper shelves and walked out of the library. The rain was still pouring down onto the street and she saw a sea of umbrellas and a ass of running people. Happily she walked down the steps glad to finally have a name.

Kenshin walked slowly through the park the rain that was hitting his head not bothering him in the slightest. The thick foliage of tree's were keeping most off it off his head, he was just a little damp. Still he couldn't help thinking of what had happened earlier that night. Blood ran in waves before his eyes, and screams of pain hit his hears. Shaking his head he continued to walk onwards. He needed to get these thoughts out of his head, if he didn't he wouldn't be able to do his job properly.

Then he caught movement in the corner of his eyes. A young girl sat at the base of a tree a little way off to his right. Kenshin turned to look at her. 'Stupid kid, why would you sit out in the rain like that'

Then he paused and looked closer, it was the girl from the hospital. The one he had found being attacked that night. Quietly he walked over to her.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a monotone voice.

"Kenshin!" Kaoru jumped to her feet clutching her heart. "Don't do that you scared me!" she breathed and glared at him. Kenshin stared at her but didn't apologise. "I…I was just out for a walk" she shrugged.

"With no coat, dripping wet and sitting on the ground?" he asked raising an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm naïve and stupid?" he asked. "You have no where to go do you"

"Yes!" Kaoru glared at him indignantly. "And why is it any concern of yours?" she asked. "You're not exactly polite are you?" she spat.

Then Kenshin did something she didn't expect. Hesitantly he raised his hand and he brushed a lock of her dark hair behind her ear. His fingers brushed against her skin and she held her breath.

"You're not exactly a vision yourself" he retorted bluntly. Kaoru blushed. It was then she realise how dirty she must have looked. Her hair was hanging limply and sodden by the sides of her face. Her jeans were torn and severely dirty. The shirt she had been given was sticking to her skin showing her curved very uncomfortably. Her face was streaked with tear marks and smudges of dirt.

"And what's that supposed to mean!" she glared. Kenshin continued to observe her calmly. The he turned and walked away his hands inside the pockets of his black trousers. "Hey I'm talking to you!" she yelled after him. Kenshin stopped.

"Come on, lets go" he said simply. Kaoru blinked and remained rooted to the spot. "If you stand there must longer you'll make yourself ill. Come on lets go"

Kaoru blinked as he walked off "Hey!" she yelled "Go where?" she asked. "Kenshin!" she yelled and ran off after the retreating figure. The rain seemed to be less harsh and the sky seemed to brighten slightly. "Wait up!" she smiled.
