Chapter 2 �Kaoru�� Kenshin said aloud as he stopped walking, taking notice that he was strolling at the very place where he and Kaoru watched the fireflies together in early summer. It was the very day that he decided to leave for Kyoto� Kenshin actually smiled at the memory. His thoughts were full of how wonderful it felt to be embracing her� Yes, that day had been painful to leave her. But now� Kenshin stared at this little grove where he and Kaoru once watched the fireflies. There were no fireflies anymore because Fall was starting to set in. He could tell by looking at the plants and the small pond that they were responding to the slight chilliness that was settling in. The seasons are changing, Kenshin thought pleasantly, and so is my life� That�s when he decided to continue walking so that he would soon reach his destination. He was now strolling under the cherry blossom trees, which were starting to lose their leaves. As he gazed up through the branches, he could see billions of stars twinkling down at him as well as the full moon shining bright. The stars seemed to be illuminating him tonight. Kenshin smiled. The night is beautiful, he thought, the perfect night for me to tell her�everything� * * * Misao� The shadowy silhouette of his young woman�s curvy slender figure filled the space of her bedroom sliding door. Aoshi Shinamori found himself standing just outside. Why did I come here? He thought. His own question was answered when he observed Misao�s shadowy figure removing her shirt� And the control that he�d been able to maintain for the past several weeks was beginning to diminish. He closed his eyes shut, for he wasn�t exactly sure how he was going to bear this for much longer. His heart pulsed rapidly too, making him aware that he had to do this� He�d known for a while now that his feelings for young Misao had deepened from that of a caring father into that of a lover. He realized it especially once he had seen how much of a woman she had become after the perilous battles she fought with Kenshin Himura in order to maintain peace in Japan. She had grown up a lot emotionally and as he opened his eyes to gaze at her shadow again, he could see how much of a woman she was. Though he could not see the details of her nudity now, her silhouette awakened feelings within him down below� KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! �Uhhhhh!� The sudden knocking of her bedroom door startled Misao so much that she fell over onto her futon completely naked. Her heart thumped wildly as she attempted to catch her breath. She placed her hand over her heart to try to steady it as her weight sank into the futon. For crying out loud�! That knock had scared her to death! �Just a second!� she shouted. After a loud sigh, she got back up to put her clothes back on. This time, instead of her ninja outfit, she retrieved her kimono that was hanging on the wall. She hardly ever wore it mostly because it was a feminine thing to wear. However right now it was easy to slip on fast enough for her to get to the door and see who was bothering her directly before she was going to bed. �It could only be Gramps!� she mumbled irritably to herself as she slipped the kimono up onto her shoulders, �only he would be as perverted as to come to my room when I�m in the middle of changing!� It was true, for Okina would chase any woman at absolutely any time of day! The minute she was fully clothed, Misao walked straight to her door, preparing to have it out with Okina for coming at such an hour. However, once she slid her door open, her heart froze with shock and she gasped so loud that she was sure her friends in Tokyo could hear. �L-Lord Aoshi�� she trembled, her eyes widening with surprise. * * * �It�s late, Sanosuke, what do you need?� Megumi said with a yawn as she opened the sliding door of Dr. Gensai�s clinic. She had been working late that night. Many patients had come in. She was just about to close up for the day when Sanosuke dropped by unexpectedly. Megumi� The two stared at one another in silence for a second. Just seeing her caused his eyes to twinkle� �I need my hand re-bandaged,� he said quickly and as controlled as possible, trying so hard to �act cool� and cover up his feelings. �You told me to come back again this week.� Megumi tucked some hair behind her ear, secretly attempting to avoid direct eye contact with him for some reason. �Well yes, but did you have to come so late at night?� �Are you gonna do it or not?!� Sano demanded as he took a step into the operating room, closer to where Megumi was standing. �Whoa! Hold your horses, Rooster Head, of course I�ll do it,� Megumi said as she held up her hands as if to stop him from charging her, �I might as well, since you came all the way here. Come on in.� Fanfiction Archive Main Page Chapter 3 |
