A Note From Sedjet: Ok…So, I am attempting a new chapter. I am tapped, so I apologize if it isn’t my best work. I’m just stuck.
Disclaimer: I am in no way claiming to own any sort of right to Rurouni Kenshin! I just like to pretend that I am god and bend the characters to my will. Mwahahaha!!! Ahem. Kenshin and his friends actually belong to Noburhiro Watsuki.
Flight of the Wounded Dove
Chapter Nine:
Plans
Kaoru and Kenshin sat across from three of their closest friends as they were grilled with questions. Kaoru was horrified and more than a bit embarrassed about the whole situation and was surprised to see that Kenshin was calm, cool and collected. Something had changed him. Whether it was her leaving or her acceptance of his proposal, she did not know. All she knew was that she loved the man beside her with every bit of her heart.
“Oh, Kaoru!” Tae squealed as she clutched Kaoru’s left hand in both of hers. “This is so wonderful! Did I not tell you everything would work out for you?!”
Kaoru let her hand gently slip out of Tae’s grasp as the older woman began to prattle on about wedding arrangements. What kind of flowers there should be, the different kind of food she would make for them, and of course, she would cater for free! She would hear nothing of a fee.
Kenshin’s right hand sought out her left, holding it lightly and stroking his thumb over the back of her wrist in a comforting motion. He could sense her unease with all the questions and Sano’s occasional lewd comments. Kenshin minded none of it. He could not think of any place he would rather be than beside his lifemate. He was more at ease than he could ever remember being. His life was nearly perfect. All that was left to do was marry the woman he loved and consummate their marriage. That would lead to offspring, and what more could he ask for?
“Kenshin! It’s about damned time!” The ex-gangster grinned slyly. “So,” he waggled his eyebrows, “Got any plans for the wedding night?”
Kenshin smiled confidently, “My friend, you have no idea.”
The assembled party, with the exception of Tae (who was still going on…and on…and on about the wedding arrangements), face-faulted.
“Kenshin!” Yahiko grumbled, “You shouldn’t say things like that! You are going to give me a heart attack!”
“What? Am I not allowed to be shocking?” The not-so Rurouni one asked with an upraised eyebrow.
“No! You’re supposed to be all shy and stuff.” The adolescent countered.
“I am sorry to surprise you, Yahiko, but I am just like any other man. I am very much looking forward to my wedding night.”
Kaoru thought she would die right there in the restaurant. Luckily, the conversation was brought to a halt at the appearance of their waiter.
“Oh, look, the food is here!” Kaoru exclaimed followed by a nervous laugh as she desperately tried to divert the attention away from her impending wedding night.
Everyone dug into the sushi and sashimi that had been beautifully prepared by the inn-owner’s wife. Between mouthfuls of food, which Tae would later get recipes for, she was asking questions about the wedding.
“Have you decided on a date?” She looked back and forth between the newly affianced couple.
They looked at each other and shrugged.
It was Tae’s turn to face-fault. “WHAT?!?! Are you insane?! You must decide on a date so that we can start planning! Invitations will have to be drawn up. I will have to begin preparations for the catering. You both must have ceremonial kimonos! We will have to make arrangements for the flowers months in advance!” She looked sternly at the couple before her.
Kenshin laughed out loud, and the assembled company, with the exception of Kaoru, face-faulted.
“We can set a date right now, if you would like, Mother Hen.” His gaze found its way to Kaoru’s.
“What about in July when the fireflies are out?” She asked in a soft, shy tone.
Kenshin’s expression transformed to one of incredible sweetness. He nodded and softly acquiesced, “Hai, koishii, that would be a wonderful time.”
The couple was broken from their reverie by an impatient Tae, “What day in July? July is not a date. I swear you two are so v—“
“July 7th,” they answered in unison. For both knew the day that the other had in mind. It was their first real 'lovers’ moment.
Yahiko rolled his eyes, “Great. They’re already speaking in unison. This is disgusting.” Sano and Tae both smacked him in the head before returning googly eyes to the couple.
Yes, even Sanosuke was caught up in the romance of the moment. He could not help but imagine himself tying the knot with a certain foxy doctor that was waiting for him in Tokyo.
TBC…
Author’s Note: So, there it is: The long-awaited ninth chapter of FotWD. *inhales deeply* Back to Tokyo in the next chapter. Mayhap a confrontation between rooster and fox. We’ll see how confident I am feeling. Maybe I’ve kicked this writer’s block-ness.
