KAORU' FEAR
Kaoru was running out of the dojo, "See you during dinner, Sano" to her student' place.
Sano waved "Bye"
Sano looked at Kenshin who was sitting next to him at the dojo steps.
Sano : errr, sorry Kenshin, but is there any problem between you two. Shes acting strangely
Kenshin : I wish i can answer Sano. This is going on for about a week now. Its very clear that shes avoiding me. Breakfast and dinner, she takes it alone. Dont know whats wrong.
Sano : Whatever it is clear it soon Kenshin. This is not good for both of you.
Sano left. Kenshin asked Yahiko to take care of the dojo and went to Akabeko to meet Tae.
Kenshin entered Akabeko but saw Tae hurrying out of the back gate.
Tae : [looking back, to herself] thank god, I avoided him
Kenshin : [standing in front of Tae] avoided whom Tae-San?
Tae : [almost jumped]how come ......? [but before finishing the sentence, it dawned on her shes standing in front of God of Wind]
Kenshin : so answer me Tae San, whats going on with Kaoru, why shes behaving in this manner and why you ran away seeing me
Tae : [a little frigtened seeing the change in his tone and eyes] sorry Kenshin, I promised her i wont let anyone know about it especially you.
Kenshin : [looked in to her eyes for a moment and started to walk away]
Tae : [after a little hestitation, called out to him] Himura San, Wait
Kenshin : [stopped and looked at her]
Tae : [Sigh] alright, i will tell you whats troubling her. But you should assure me that you will take care of her
Kenshin : I would anything to bring back her smile Tae-san
Tae : I know that Himura-san. Ok then. Well, you remember, we had a get-together at the dojo last week
Kenshin : Hai Tae-san
Tae : Actually, she wanted to tell you her feelings that day, but everyone was mocking at her cooking skills and teasing how infeminine she is, which happens always, it hurt her that day very much. she couldnt tell you her feelings for the fear that you too would have thought her that way. Shes terrified that you may go out of dojo if she ever tell you about her feelings. Shes straning herself physically not to think about you but she cant take you out of her mind, I can say that clearly, she comes here daily to practice cooking, after her classes
Kenshin : " "
Tae : So Himura-san, you know what you should do now, dont you.
Kenshin : I think so, Tae-san. Thank you for telling me.
Tae : Do something quickly to bring her back, Himura-san
Kenshin : Hai, Tae-san, i would bring her back. [he left]
At the dojo, it was dinner time, when Kaoru entered. Kenshin was waiting for her at the steps.
Kenshin : [with a warm smile] Welcome Kaoru-dono, the dinner is ready
Kaoru : [drowning in his smile for a moment] thanks Kenshin [hestitatingly] em.. i had dinner with Tae today Kenshin, so you go and have it.
Kenshin : [his voice becoming a little strict and eyes narrowed] Kaoru-dono, i would like you to give me company today
Kaoru : [a little taken aback by his sudden change] Ha.. Hai Kenshin
Kenshin : I will wait till you get refreshed. now hurry up Koaru-dono.
Kaoru : Hai Kenshin.
Kaoru came back within 5min. The dinner was served and it was very silent today except for Sano and Yahiko fighting for the last bowl of rice. After finishing, Kenshin looked at Sano which looked more like a command. Sano, without saying any word, took Yahiko to his place.
After cleaning off the dishes, Kaoru sat in the dojo steps, gazing at the sky. Kenshin came and sat beside her.
Kaoru : Arigatou Kenshin, for the dinner
Kenshin : [looking into her eyes] whats bothering you Kaoru-dono
Kaoru : en? what? i am fine Kenshin.
Kenshin : Its very obvious that you are avoiding me Kaoru-dono, whats going on in your mind?
Kaoru : " "
Kenshin : [taking her hand in his and patting it] Whatever it is Kaoru-dono, have belief in me and let me tell you something Kaoru
Kaoru : [suddenly bewildered at hearing her name without "dono", looked at him]
Kenshin : Yes Kaoru, i hope you dont mind me calling you that way.
Kaoru : No Kenshin i would never
Kenshin : i was saying, Kaoru, believe me when i say i like the way you are. I love the brave, kind and beautiful Kamiya Kaoru.
Kaoru : Kenshin.... [falls on his chest and cries]
Kenshin : [embraces her] Hai Kaoru. I love you and would be with you for ever. I like you the way you are.
Kaoru : [between the sobs] thank you Kenshin. I was worried that you may not like me for being infeminine. and i never thought you would ever come out with your feelings.
Kenshin : Kaoru, not every one can have everything. you are good at what you are so dont worry about it. and even i never thought i could say out my feelings. its just that i cant see you in this way. your painful eyes hurt me more than anything, so i had to come out with my feelings. and i am glad i did it.
Kaoru : Thank you Kenshin
The warm embrace and the cool breeze soothed her pain and she fell asleep in his chest soon, after many sleepless nights
