For The First Time
A Rurouni Kenshin Fanfic by
Gazerock
Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic. There's something I must tell you though.
I wrote this fic during Math class, so it's really short. Oh! and I
don't own any of the characters or anything related to RK.
Setting: This story takes place during the 10 days waiting for the war
against Enishi and his comrades. Kenshin's a little nervous and
so is Kaoru. Let's see what happens between those.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaoru awoke with a start. There was some noise in the kitchen. Without
hesitation, she got up and walked toward that noise. Everything was ok.
Kenshin stood in the kitchen, some fresh made tea in a cup beside him.
She was about to return to bed when she saw it. Tears. Tears rippling
down Kenshin's cheeks. Were he crying for Tomoe? Must be... after all,
she had been his wife... Kaoru felt sorry for him but... she couldn't
lie to herself. She was jealous of Tomoe, of what she had been for
Kenshin. He had risked his life for her, cherished her... perhaps
loved her? She had to admit it. She didn't know a lot about him since
recently, when he told them his life as Hitokiri Battosaï. She even
thought once that he could love her. But no. Not Kenshin. He was nearly
30 and she was only 17. He had been through too much to love her. This
thought brought tears to her eyes.
"Why? Why Am I crying like this? It's not like Kenshin ever loved me."
She realized that she said it out loud when she saw him look at her.
He seemed surprised. Had he heard her?
"Kaoru-donno... what are you doing here so late...? You should get some
rest..."
Something was wrong. he wasn't trying to hide his tears. She entered
the room, stood in front of him and dryed her eyes with the back of
hand.
"Kenshin...I...euh...heard some noise in the kitchen and...I...came
to see and...you...were there...and..."
He was smiling...why?He still was crying but, not of pain anymore. She
could tell.He was boking at her with deep violet eyes,trying to tell
her something...but what?That she couldn't tell.He aproached her and
placed a hand an her cheek.
"Kaoru I..."
Her heart was racing.He was being so gentle.And he,Called her Kaoru.Not
Kaoru-donno like he used to but simply Kaoru.She placed a hand on his.
"Kenshin...why are you crying?"
"I...I am afraid.For the first time in my life,I'm really afraid.Not to
die but to loose you Kaoru.You always been so kind to me...so caring...
so lovely...I...I love you Kaoru.I'm afraid for you!"
He had said these words "Ilove you" so softly!These words she always
wanted him to say came so naturally!So she spoke with her hearth as she
replied
"I love you too Kenshin"Before she realized what was happening to her,warm lips met her own.His
lips,so warm,so sweet,like in her dreams.She felt him smile when she
returned the kiss.If only this moment could last forever!But then,he
broke their embrace.He put his sakabatou away and held her close again.
"I swear I will do whatever it is in my power to stop Enishi and
protect you.I want to start a new life with you Kaoru.Do you...accept?"
She couldn't speak.Tears of enjoy were falling freely on her fair skin.
She couldn't speak but,she could only look at him,and he'd understand.
He learned close and kissed her again.If the first one had been soft
and sweet,this one was eager and pationate.
"I accept.But one thing!No more Kaoru-donno!"
They laughed sweetly,kissing and kissing again,until they were so
exausted that they fell asleep in the kitchen in one another's arms
