Chapter Two
Kaoru seen Kenshin's reaction, confused and curious at the same time, she let her mind rule over, and slipped the question.
"What is it Kenshin? You act as though you've seen this child before? H-have you? Is he…yours?"
"No, no…he just looks….a lot…like me…that's all." He looked away, ashamed that he had made Kaoru think that it was his child, well who couldn't blame her? Red headed people around here were very few and far.
Kaoru looked down, and sure enough there was that patch of auburn hair on top of his little head. How could she have missed it? It was plain as daylight.
"Kenshin, are you sure he isn't your child? I mean…it's just- "Kaoru's voice was hardly above a whisper, she couldn't even finish the sentence, to scared of the truth.
"No, I have never…" Kenshin scratched the back of his head; it was embarrassing to tell a woman this, especially Kaoru, he took a gulp of breath. He was pretty sure that his face was red as a tomato, "um, gotten a woman pregnant before, so it is not mine, that I know of." He finished, and was glad. 'Boy that was hard to say' he thought, still blushing mad.
Relief flooded into her eyes, she was happy to know it wasn't Kenshin's. Then anger filed out.
"When I find out who left this baby in a trashcan, I'll-
"No, Kaoru-dono, violence is not the answer. If we find the person, we will do what's right and turn them in for child abuse." Kenshin said trying to calm the enraged Kaoru. He too was mortified that one person could be so cruel as to do such a thing to such an innocent child. Then a thought popped into his head
"We should take him to the doctor, and get him checked over for any illness that might be lurking about, and to see if he has any injuries."
"Yes, that's just what I was about to say."
"Yes, Kaoru-dono?"
"Thank you." She said. Kenshin's heart was beating wildly, and felt it would literally jump out of his chest, even if they were only words, the feeling of helping someone was very important to him, especially if it involved a certain blue eyed angel.
You're welcome, Kaoru-dono and you too, little guy." Kenshin said smiling at the two in front of him; for some reason he felt he had to protect them…he felt as though he had too, they were like his own family, if only that were true.
He turned around and went to go start the car
She hurriedly got the babe dressed, and all the while he just stared at her, without a blink.
'Strange I thought babies cried when being handled with? Well he must have been well taught.'
The arrived at the health center 15 minutes later. All through the ride it had been silent, and so had the baby.
"Kenshin?"
"We need to name him."
…..
"Kenshin?"
"Why don't you do that Kaoru-dono? You are after all the 'mother'." He said with a bit of humor in his voice.
Kaoru hit him playfully on the arm
"Mou, Kenshin. What are you a sexist?"
Kenshin laughed.
"No, it's just I think women are the experts when it comes to naming a child, that's all, because I really don't know what to call him."
"Oh. Well how about Tom?"
"Huh?"
"Or maybe not, how about Daniel?"
"What?"
"Okay…what about Jason, or Jordan, or Mitch or-
"Kaoru-dono, I don't mean to be rude, but we are in Japan."
"Oh yeah I forgot. Okay how about…..Tuski?"
"That's a girl's name."
"Okay what about Nawachi?"
"Nope that was my great uncle and he was a drunk and he-
"Okay, okay how about…..Kenji?"
"….I like it!"
"Okay, Kenji it is! Oh Kenshin?"
"Yes."
……
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
"Pretty, pretty please, or no kissy!"
The car swerved a bit to the right, and Kenshin just gave her a weird
"Find he can have my last name, and I guess it would be a good idea to play like a married couple. Now where's that kiss?" He teased.
"Mou, that was just a ruse to get you to do something for me."
"Ah man."
She laughed, "But don't worry, you might get one if you're a weally, weally good daddy!" Playing baby words and gently pinching his cheek.
"Ouch!"
She laughed again.
"Kaoru-dono, I think we're here now."
"No, I'll do it. You went through the trouble of dressing him; I think it's time for me to be 'daddy' for a little while."
"Okay!" She smiled at him.
"Hello I am checking in for Kenji Himura, please." Kaoru said at the front desk.
"Okay sign these papers and the doctor will be right with you."
"Alright."
After she finished she handed them to the nurse, and was called in, she took Kenji from Kenshin's arms and walked in after the doctor.
The doctor gave her a weird look, and then cleared his throat.
"Um, Mrs. Himura….where is your child?" He asked with a hint of confusion
"He's right here in my arms, Doctor." Kaoru showed him Kenji.
"Miss there is no child in your arms, you are holding nothing. Miss I'll have to send for security."
"No, no Doctor, he's right here in my arms can't you see him?" Kaoru practically shoved baby Kenji in his face.
"Miss, please get your hands out of my face. SECURITY!"
"What, no, no. I'll go, okay, just don't." Kaoru didn't finish. She ran out and grabbed Kenshin, who at the moment had been reading a magazine. He oro-ed as she dragged him out to the car.
"Kaoru what's wrong?" He asked concern fully loaded in his voice
. "They….can't see Kenji." She said looking down at the child
"What, but he's right there, I can see him just fine!"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that Kenji….that Kenji could…is a
"A what? Tell me Kaoru, what's going on?"
"Nothing, we need to get home. Let's go."
Kenshin started the car and they drove in silence, but all the while Kaoru thought to herself, 'Could Kenji be….no that's impossible.'
