X is for X-ray (Because there are no X words to find)
"Where the hell are we going, Aoshi?"
"You'll see, Kaoru. You'll see."
"Big brother, I don't like this."
It was raining hard through the streets and Kenshin had a secret surprise for Kaoru that he had been planning for weeks with machinery and tools and being shocked for each stupid mistake he'd made (to Sanosuke, those were hilarious moments). Once he had got it done, he'd made two quick calls to Aoshi so that he could bring her down and the red-head could present his gift. After all, it was their anniversary.
Kaoru groaned in the dark and as her older brother Aoshi led her through the dark house, she held onto his hand tight and she kept close for comfort. Kaoru hated the dark with a passion and once it was reached, she clung to her older brother as if he were some teddy bear from her childhood. Aoshi never minded and even though his girlfriend Misao did get a little jealous, she was his sister. He was supposed to protect her.
"Is Kenshin even here?"
"Yes, he's here. So is everybody else."
"Why are the lights out?"
"Saves electricity."
"Daddy's such a cheap ass."
They moved down the steps of their manor and as Aoshi took her towards the darkest part of the house, she gasped as he shook her hand off and ran off. Kaoru froze, her dark blue eyes instantly scared, and as her black hair swished with her head movements, somebody grabbed her arm. She screamed and punched whatever was there.
"Jesus Christ, Kaoru!"
"Oh! Sorry, Kenshin... Don't sneak up on me like that, you ass!"
Kenshin held out a flashlight and as he gave her a mischievous grin, she saw his violet eyes bright with excitement and tease. Kaoru rolled her eyes and after Kenshin pressed a swift kiss to her lips, she smiled at him and he led her through the hallway towards a small room.
"What the hell are we doing in this room? This is Aoshi's relaxation room."
"You ask too much questions." Kenshin grumbled.
"I have to so I can know what the fuck's going on. I just woke up and i've been led through the dark like I was being kidnapped."
"I understand that. But you always do this."
Kaoru turned to him with a glare and as she asked, "What the fuck do you mean by that?!" their argument began.
"Stop!" Kenshin said and he sighed as he put his hands up to signal silence. "We need to stop this. Just... have a seat."
Kaoru sat down with a glare and after she cooled out, Kenshin turned on the light and he walked behind the curtain at the other side of the room.
"I know we've been fighting a lot and I know that we've had a lot of arguments in the past month." Kaoru looked towards the curtain and she cocked her head to the smile with an arched eyebrow.
"We've had so much altercations with people interrupting out relationship, people telling us what to do, and everything else... that we forgot our four month anniversary."
She gasped and as she checked her cellphone, the date told her that he was right. May 26th She frowned gently and as she raised her head to start speaking, Kenshin interrupted her.
"Don't. I understand because a lot's been on our minds and what not. I don't blame you. But! I have a gift for you."
Kaoru arched a black brow gently and as he pulled the curtains apart, she gasped and looked at him in disbelief and shock. Kenshin was shirtless and he was currently standing in front of an old-fashioned X-ray machine. He gave her a big smile and after he grabbed his ponytail and held it up, she giggled at the fashion pose he made.
"An X-ray machine? What the hell are you going to show me, your ribs?" Kenshin laughed with her and after they got everything out, he sighed and he stared at her with violet eyes of love and care.
"I know that you haven't been thinking that I love you and I know that twice we've said that was were starting to hate each other. It's not true on my part and even though I say I love you, I know you may not believe me. So instead of me just taking you out to some fancy dinner and instead of me spending money on a meal that I can just make us myself, i'm going to show you how I feel inside my heart instead."
"You... you can show me?" she asked curiously. He nodded and after he gave a huge smile, he put his finger on the button and he told her to shut her eyes. Kaoru put her pale fingers over her face and after she gave a lopsided grin and bounced in her seat, Kenshin pressed the button and the machine came to life. He stretched his hands behind his head and once he made sure it looked nice, he kept his arms behind his head and he gave a childish grin.
"Oh Kaoru... open your eyes now..."
Kaoru smiled and after she opened her eyes, her smiled turned into a face of shock as she looked at Kenshin and the machine's light.
"Oh my god!... Kenshin, this is... wow!"
"I knew you'd like it." he said impishly and then he sighed as he shifted and puckered his lips at her.
On the machine, you could see the outlines of his bones and his lungs and everything else you normally see on a machine. But what made Kaoru want to cry was where Kenshin's heart was at. Instead of barely seeing it, there was a big pink heart colored in. On the inside of that heart, in big blue letters, was I LOVE KAORU 4 EVER and a smiley face on the bottom. Kenshin's smile never faded and as Kaoru took a picture with her cellphone, she grabbed Aoshi's camera from under the chair and took two more pictures.
"Happy Anniversary, Kaoru. I love you."
Kaoru walked over to him and as she pulled him by his bangs to her level, she leaned up to his lips and they both lowered their eyes with a smile.
"I heart you too, X-ray boy."
They would never know, but as their lips met and they shared a soul-warming kiss, Kenshin's pink heart lit up brighter than normal and the glow illuminated the room in a pink glow of love.
