1 Week later
Kaoru was on the porch sweeping away happily with a smile and humming a tune, after that night by the river Enishi and Kaoru decided that they would start living together with Enishi moving in. Kaoru proudly admired her new wedding ring with a dreamy face; she sighed happily then began to sweep again. Enishi had moved into a room that was very close to hers, he had been moving boxes for almost the entire week when finally they were done. Kaoru felt it was a little strange to have someone living with her again but she didn't mind in the least because she wouldn't have to face horrible dark nights alone anymore.
A date had been set for the wedding to be in about a month, Enishi didn't have much family and neither did Kaoru so there weren't a whole lot of people to invite and do things with. Kaoru finished sweeping then went inside for some tea, she was getting the water ready when the door slid open she looked up and saw Enishi watching her with that lazy smile of his she smirked then went back to making her tea when he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Would you like some tea?" she asked
"hmmmmm" he answered
She giggled at his childlike expression it was the look a child gets when they are too sleepy to admit defeat to the slumber of sleeping. Enishi looked well exhausted in her eyes he had been working hard lately and with his moving it was definitely starting to show Kaoru wasn't really sure what Enishi's job was all she knew was that he worked for the newly founded government.
"Let's take our tea outside after all it is a very nice day" she said as she began to lead them out to the small garden that she made sure to make it well kept. Kaoru sat under a tree then Enishi laid down using Kaoru's lap as a pillow. She giggled a bit but didn't complain with the sudden closeness and intimacy she sighed as she sipped her tea calmness an peace overtaking her body as she and her fiancée basked in the warm glow of the sun. Soon Enishi was fast asleep dozing off on her lap and lightly snoring, she found that this side of him was very childlike but also cute he had a innocence about him that she was very drawn to it made her feel so special to be around him and she felt that she was the only one who he should his gentle side the tea and the warm sun she too began to doze off lightly she was almost fully asleep when she felt a sudden jerk she opened her eyes to that horrible giant of a man, when he yanked her from her comfortable position with her lover Enishi was jolted awake in a battle stance and growling a terrible growl.
Enishi was absolutely Furious with the man that was holding his future wife he drew his blade at the man, the man holding Kaoru looked at Enishi he himself had no sword to speak of and turned pale as Enishi pointed it at his throat, as an attempt to escape he threw Kaoru on the ground Enishi was distracted enough that the giant man escaped. Enishi cursed then quickly ran to Kaoru who was cradling her arm with a pained look on her face, he quickly examined her arm he was relieved that it wasn't broken but just to be safe he swooped her up and carried her bridal style all the way to the clinic.
Closer than he was a week ago Kenshin was walking silently down the road when he felt this intense burning pain in his arm that made him want to hit it against a tree if he thought it would make it feel better but sadly he knew it wouldn't, he stopped to examine his arm and make sure he wasn't feeling after affects from his last battle that he fought nearly an hour ago. Although it was still impossible for him to have been injured that fight was merely childs play to him he couldn't believe they were serious in fighting him, him the most powerful Hitokiri the world had ever seen he laughed at their stupidity.
His soul mate was becoming an obsession with him he needed to know had to know who this woman was, his tittle alone could get him countless woman who would throw themselves at his feet to be able to please a powerful man. Kenshin did have one bride in the begning her name was Tomoe but a sword and blood snatched her away from him, after the incident he truly thought there would be no one out there who would be willing to start a family with him but when he read up on the soul mate bond he had a re-kindle of hope that maybe this what he was supposed to be doing all along. Ever since he was young he often dreamed of starting a family in a peaceful time where he could raise his children and have a loving wife who would watch over him and care for him, she was the one who would help his tortured soul from being destroyed by grief and the guilt of living. He had a dual personality of sorts his Battousai side craved blood and even enjoyed seeing their victim's blood trickling down the street.
Kenshin himself was horrified with his own being he thought that there was no woman out there who would accept both of his sides, he desperately wished and hoped that his soul mate would be able to accept him as he was and as a whole person. Kenshin wanted nothing more than a peaceful life with the one he loved he had thought and hoped he had found it with Tomoe but it was not meant to be, he felt that his soul was so scarred that was why he had a soul mate so that she could fill up his entire being with nothing but love and kindness. Sometimes he gave into his dark side and willingly became Battousai that way he wouldn't have to explain actions to anyone and sometimes he preferred it.
Coming out of his thoughts he felt the bond getting stronger as he approached a town he smiled a sweet smile.
"Soon my love we will be together for all of eternity" he smirked and happily quickened his pace to meet his love.
