KKG: Sorry took so long to update I had to think about were to go with it. Shuffles through papersSo we're at the date am I right? Well lets get on with it shall we? Can't have you wait anymore.

'Why am I meeting her here?' Kenshin asked himself as he stood in front of the restraint waiting for Kaoru. 'I do practically live with her.' He sighed 'She better not be doing something stupid.'

He started to hear familiar footsteps and looked towards the direction they were coming from. It was Kaoru. She was wearing a light purple kimono and a pale pink obi around her waste, which made her bright, blue eyes and raven black hair stand out from the large crowd. She had her hair pulled back in her famous ponytail with a pale pink ribbon and her rosy cheeks contrasted with her pale white skin. She had him in a daze.

"Hello" She said when he was at least a foot away from her.

Kenshin closed his mouth and mentally shook his head. "Hey." Was all he could spit out.

"Thank you for taking me here." She said and shot a small smile towards him.

'You're the one that wanted to come here.' He thought to himself. He ran his fingers in his fiery red hair and looked at the ground before mumbling, "You look very nice in that kimono."

"Thank you" She blushed and did the same.

They stood in silence before Kenshin spoke up.

"Uh,…Should we…"

"Oh yes of course."

Kenshin held out his arm and she took it and they walked in the Akebecko. The waitress seated them and Kaoru ordered beef stew and he did as well. When the meal came they sat in silence for a while before Kaoru broke the silence.

"How long have you been a swordsman?"

"I was ten when I started. Ran away to the war when I was fourteen and I hadn't really finished all the training then. So when…" Kenshin stopped, when he had finished all his training it was right after she had died. He felt that he still wasn't good enough and went back to his master to finish.

"When?" She was egging him on wanting to know more about him.

"When my wife died a few years ago." He finished. He didn't feel like looking at her so he examined his stew.

"I'm sorry." Kaoru breathed, "I didn't know."

"Its ok." He mouthed to her still fixated on his stew. He had no energy left to even pick up his spoon he was reliving that day again watching her fall over and over again cursing himself mentally for not helping her or noticing that the guy even had a gun.

He came back when he felt a warm touch like Tomoe's but when he looked over it was Kaoru's, her thumb making little circles in his palm. Kenshin looked up at her and she gave him a sweet smile. He returned one for a split second before noticing and looking back at his soup.

"I think that's the only time I ever seen you smile." Kaoru said still holding his hand and making circles in his hand.

Kenshin removed his hand from hers and looked back at her this time with a fierce but kind face. "Yes that would be because when…she had died I shut myself off from everyone becoming a better assassin then I'd ever be. Then I stopped and decided to be a bodyguard instead." He took a swing at his tea and music began to play around the restraint.

She touched his hand again and he looked up. She was smiling at him. A smile that made her look even more beautiful in his eyes. "Lets dance."

He gave her a confused look before being dragged towards a dance floor. She put her arm around his neck, and he around her waist. He felt like an idiot seeing is he didn't know how to dance. Around the end of the song they stopped and stared at each other. Kenshin put his hand on her cheek and she leaned closer towards him, their lips just inches away from each other's. He pulled her in closer and the next thing he knew he was kissing her and as he stood there with her in his arms he felt something he hadn't felt in years.

KKG: There you go! I'll have another one up soon I promise on that! Probably not tomorrow but maybe the next. So be patient on these things my dears. I just have to watch the movie again to see what happens after that part.
