By The time Enishi came home from work Kaoru was out of her room and helping Kenshin prepare a nice warm meal, she didn't stand too close to him but she had to be a little near him to help him cook the food. Enishi walked into the kitchen surprised to see his future wife cooking without the kitchen being on fire. He had a smirk on his face as he went up behind her and captured her for a kiss, totally unaware that kenshin was standing a foot away and he had a glare that screamed murder.
While Kaoru was surprised she noticed that she felt very sick when he started to kiss her, a part of her screamed that she was betraying Kenshin but she acted like a good Fiancé was supposed to and accepted his affections. The whole time Kaoru had been helping Kenshin in the kitchen she had the urge to huge him and touch him and kiss him she knew that she wouldn't be able to hold out long the pulling was becoming so demanding it made her sick.
Kenshin was silently being jealous and fuming at the man that was touching what rightfully belonged to him, but wait now that Kenshin got a good look at him he looked awfully familiar and usually that didn't mean a good think. Then it hit him so hard he lost his breath and almost fell over, This man was Tomoes younger brother this man thought Kenshin had killed his sister this man wanted his blood! Holy fuck he was screwed! Kenshin did his best to swallow he would have to fight this man over 2 things now his sister and Tomoe.
Enishi pulled away from Kaoru and smiled at her like there was no tomorrow that's when he saw Kenshin they locked eyes and Enishi lost it completely.
"YOU BASTARD WHAT THER HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE! ARE YOU GONNA TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME TOO!" Enishi had drawn his sword and so had Kenshin, they thrusted back and forth Kaoru so confused did the only thing a woman should do in a situation like that. She screamed. Both men looked at her and boy was she mad and upset.
"What the hell do you think you both are doing! IN MY KITCHEN IN MY HOME GET OUT BOTH OF YOU GET OUT RIGHT NOW I WILL NOT HAVE THIS!" both were not expecting her to grab them by the collars and throw them out like small children who did something they were not supposed to.
"NO ONE IS GETTING ANYTHING TO EAT! UNTIL YOU EXPLAIN AND APOLOGIES IF YOU DON'T SO HELP ME I WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH OF YOU UNTIL IT IS SETTLED YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" Kaoru screamed and then slammed the kitchen doors, she sat down and began to eat.
Both men looked at each other in shock but if Kaoru wished it they would talk it out and see what could be done about it. Kenshin explained about Tomoe and Kaoru, Tomoe not being his fault that she died and Kaoru that he was her soul mate and even if she wanted she could never break free of him.
Enishi was in total and complete shock, his sister death was something that he had not even been fully aware of only that a red headed man was involved and he swore vengeance. Kaoru was another matter if he gave her up he would have nobody, he would be all alone and not a single person would care.
"You know if Kaoru and I were to touch you and she would forget all about each other things would go back to the way they should have been and it will even bring your sister back, it was not in the gods design for me to have her and for her to die if I am with my soul mate then the gods will bring her back for you" Kenshin explained in a very serious tone .
Enishi took a deep breath this was going to be the hardest decision in his life, he wanted to find happiness with his sister once again but he couldn't help thinking of Kaoru she would forget that she loved him and he would forget as well was it all worth it to have his sister back? He decided then and there that no matter what happens Kaoru would be better off with Kenshin he would make her happy for her whole life and beyond that. So with a heavy heart he said to Kenshin.
"Alright I think it would be best if we did it this way."
Kenshin was so relived he felt like he was going to take off and fly all over the world his heart would be free from a burden it did not deserve. He got up strechted his back and went into the kitchen to eat some dinner Kaoru was finished and in her room by then so he figured they would all discuss it in the morning when she was nicer and less cranky. He ate found a bottle of saki in the corner of a cupboard and proceeded to get onto the roof he watched as the moon rose and he began to take sips of saki, he hadn't been this relaxed in a year since Tomoe's death. He felt at peace with himself even Battousai was content with how things were going and that didn't happen often for him.
Kaoru was in her room and brushing her hair, she had heard everything the men had talked about and she was almost giddy with relief that she didn't have to choose between Enishi and Kenshin, she felt so strongly toward Kenshin more so than she ever had felt with Enishi. She had begun braiding her hair when there was a sound on the roof, it was a bit loud and it made her jump she heard some slurping and then a little while later she heard a thunk.
Kaoru came out of her room and went to look on the roof she had climbed all the way up only to find Kenshin peacefully dozing off on the roof a bottle of saki at his side. She giggled a bit because Kenshin looked like a small cat all curled up, and sleeping on the roof was a very cat like thing to do. She quietly crept over to where he was laying and began to study his features he was so relaxed that his face gave everything away under her scrutiny, he had a scar on his face but it just brought out his features even more and make his features pretty sticking and hard to miss.
His blood red hair was surprisingly soft in her small touching she didn't dare touch him full on she wanted him to be awake so that they could both experience it with full senses, she left him to get a small pillow and blanket, she covered him up and left him there he was sleeping as a small child would clutching the blankets and a hand curled into a fist near the face. She left him thinking how she wouldn't mind watching over their children like that as they doze off to sleep, she was excited for what tomorrow might be she had to admit she was really nervous and upset when he first showed up but now that everything was going to be alright she slept peacefully with wonder dreams of the future with the man on the roof.
