Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Travel Through Time ❯ A New Home ( Chapter 4 )

"Huh? You will? I…I mean great now if you would follow me I'll show you around." Joy leaped around inside of her, she didn't know why she wanted him to stay but she was glad.

Kenshin soon fell over from what she had said and was left outside when the they went in.

A New Home

"Well here we are. My home. I know it's probably nothing compared to where you live, but it's cozy enough." She moved her hand around taking in everything.

"It's fine." He smoothed his pants down before falling to the ground.

"Would you like…like some tea?" The stuttering was coming back.

He only nodded while looking at the inside of the dojo. Just then a very angry Kenshin walked in and went straight for the kitchen where Kaoru had went to fix up some tea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kaoru what the hell are you doing?" Kenshin basically growled at Kaoru.

"I'm only letting a man stay here." She smiled widely at him before going back to the tea.

"That's what I'm still trying to figure out is why the fuck you would do something so messed up as this." He was now holding her arm tightly.

"Kenshin let go." She pulled away. "I'm only doing what I did for you, Yahiko, and Sanosuke. Don't you think it's a little unfair that ya'll can stay here for free without having to do much and him who doesn't know where he is not stay here." She said punching her fist into the counter. "Oh, and do you really have to cuss around me?"

"I don't do much! I do a lot around here it's just that you could get the others to do more than free load around, and as for him I seen the way he looks at you or the way you smile towards him it makes me sick of the thought. And I can cuss if I want! Your not my mom your just a little girl!"

Kaoru felt hurt by the way Kenshin had so violently yelled at her. She choked back the tears and took the tea tray. She pushed her way through Kenshin and went to the waiting person outside.

Kenshin still had a look of hate in his eyes before he had really realized what he just did. "Did I just make my Kaoru cry? How could I be so careless? I'll make it up to her somehow. I love you Kaoru." He closed his eyes then walked out the kitchen, walked past the two, and to his room.

Kaoru glanced at Kenshin then turned her attention back to Sesshomaru. "Here you go, some nice herbal tea, I added a little ginseng for the flavor."

Sesshomaru picked up the small cup and took a sip. Just then his senses began to tingle. What was happening it wasn't that it was bad or maybe he had never had something that tasted so sweet yet sour at the same time. He loved it and he wanted more. He held out the cup so Kaoru could pour him some more.

About 6 cups later Kaoru was beginning to get worried. "If you keep drinking like that your gonna use up all my herbs and get major hiccups." She chuckled out loud, but it was to late a strange feeling was building inside of him and then small noises popped out of his mouth.

"Wha? *hiccup* It won't *hiccup* stop. *Hiccup*." He was now hiccupping uncontrollably and all Kaoru could do was laugh at him, but not in a mean way, but that he was funny.

"Hol…hold on I'll…I'll get some cough syrup out of the kitchen don't move." She said between laughs.

Getting the medicine from the cabinet she slowly poured a small quantity of the red liquid in a tea cup and handed it to Sesshomaru. "I warn you it doesn't taste as good as it smells." She looked at him eager to know what his reaction would be.

Taking the cup he swallowed all of it without thinking and soon he was through the roof and back again. "Wow! What was that! I want mo…" Forgetting about his emotionless ways his excitement escaped without him knowing. He quickly calmed down as he left Kaoru speechless.

"Sorry for that little display it's not like myself to get so excited over something like this." He showed the cup in front of him.

"I…it's ok, I know that stuff isn't the greatest, but…" She was stopped by him beginning to speak up.

"No it was quit good. And I think it worked." He interrupted.

"Uh…yea." She was now confused but happy at the same time.

Before Sesshomaru could ask about this time he was in two loud mouths came barging in. Sesshomaru shut his mouth and waited for them to enter. He show them not to interrupt a Lord such as him.
