Chapter 3 – I still love you…Well, this would be the spot where, I, the author, am supposed to say something to all of you fans, right? Well…to be absolutely honest…I don't have anything to say. (Yamazaki's current state – On the ground with her head against the floor with the gloom marks in the background.) Please enjoy this chapter – By the way – this chappie isn't going any farther than ' PG-13.' And there is going to be a song in it, and if anyone gets the name, I'll give ya a cookie!
After they all got inside and sat down, Kaoru explained why she moved out and everything that had changed around them in the city. Finally it started to get late and they all got tired. Kaoru walked into her room and as she was changing into her white, cotton yukata, she heard a knock at her door. Who would be at her bedroom door at this time of night?
" Who is it?" She asked as she finished putting her yukata on.
" Me, Kenshin, that it is. Sorry to bother you at this time. I hope I didn't wake you…" He said, staring down at the ground. He was going to admit everything to her. Everything he felt. That was his original reason for coming to her room.
" Oh, not at all. Is everything okay Kenshin?" She asked while getting up and opening her sliding door. Why could he possibly be here? And at this time if night? Was there an enemy out that she didn't know about?
I need some love like I've never needed love before
I've had a little of your love, but now I back for more
" Well…while I was gone I thought about so much. I…I honestly started to think that I was going to go insane without you. I missed you so much…I just wanted to come back to be with you, but I couldn't let myself." He said, staring back down at the floor. What the hell was he saying? She probably thought he sounded like an idiot. He looked up at her, and instead of seeing her laughing or confused, she was smiling, practically in tears.
Set your spirit free.
It's the only way to be.
" Kenshin…I missed you too. I wanted to come right back after the fight, but after a few days, everybody said that you had died in the battle. I refused to believe it Kenshin, but after a year went by, I couldn't help it. Im so sorry." She said, sitting down on her futon. She didn't know what else to say. She felt bad now for thinking that he died in a horrible death, but he smiled, and got closer to her instead, wanting to cheer her up. He didn't blame her at all.
I loved you forever
Boys and girls go good together
" Please Kaoru, don't feel bad because that. It was my fault for worrying you, right? Well, I wanted to come here tonight…to tell you…how I feel about you…" He said, slightly blushing.
Kaoru's eyes widened a little. What did he mean? Tell her how he felt?
" Please, go on Kenshin…" Kaoru said.
" I…I wasn't planning on coming to the dojo with Sano to be honest, but something inside of me told me to, so I let my spirit free, and followed him here where I saw you again. You've changed Kaoru." He said, taking a glance at her and he continued. " I guess what I'm trying to say to you, miss Kaoru…is that…I love you. I have since before I left to fight Shishio. I had to go. I didn't want him to come here. He might've found you and brought harm to you. If I let him do anything like that, I would've never been able to forgive myself." He said, looking over to her. He didn't expect her to do or say anything, but it would've made him feel better. He gave her a weak smile and got up.
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
" Well, goodnight, miss Kaoru." He said, turning to walk out of her room.
Kaoru stared at him for a moment. He just said the one thing that she wanted him to say the most.
" WAIT!" She yelled. She didn't want him to leave her. She felt so alone every time he wasn't near her. " Please Kenshin…don't leave me…" She said, staring down at the floor again.
Kenshin looked at her. She was so cute when she was upset like that.
"Kaoru…" He started. He thought for a minute. Saying ' please stay with me' was pretty much saying sleep in here. He didn't think he could resist the idea of her being a few inches away from him. " Do you know what exactly you are saying? Are you sure you want me to stay in here? Do you know what could happen, Kaoru?" He asked. The thought made him sort of happy, but worried at the same time.
Kaoru nodded. She knew exactly what could happen, but she didn't mind it at all. The fact was - she loved him too. She thought it was time he knew too.
" Kenshin…I'm in love with you too! I love you so much! I thought I was going to die if you didn't come back to me soon!" She yelled as she got up and ran over to him.
Come a little bit closer baby…They stared at each other for a minute before Kenshin quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. She stood there, against his chest, smiling for a moment. She wanted to memorize this moment in her mind and so did he. He slowly let go of her, but she still clung to his chest. She felt so safe, so secure in his arms. She didn't dare look up incase he gave her a look she didn't want until she felt a small kiss on the top of her forehead.
He kissed her forehead and smiled as she looked up at him. He loved her so much that he couldn't describe it to her.
She smiled back and leaned up to kiss him. It was her first real kiss, and with a man she loved, too. It made her feel so happy.
Are you as good as I remember, baby?
Cause tonight, is the night, im gonna show you my love….
See. I kept it PG-13!………well, as much as you can see in the story. Im not gonna tell what happened after this little moment, but I think you all can guess. Remember, if ya guess the sing, I'll give ya a cookie! I might put another song in a chapter in later; the ending theme, and 'tactics' might be what it's called. (Am I right?) Well, anyways – the next chappie! Chapter 4 – My heart belongs to you! See ya then!
