Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Reflection ❯ Reflection ( Chapter 1 )

A/N Hey guys, sorry to be this late..

Kaoru was figuring out where she went wrong. She sat on the porch of he dojo as she looked at herself in the puddle of water nearby.

"Am I really..?" she asked herself . She looked at the water and her tears started to go down from her eyes.

LOOK AT ME, I WILL NEVER PASS FOR A PERFECT BRIDE

Kenshin looked at her. "Kaoru? Are you all right?" he asked uncertainly as he looked at her.

"Uh.hai," she answered. "Of course I am. What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing."

"Kaoru? What's bothering you now?" asked Yahiko, coming over. He was about thirteen by then. He was holding up one-year-old Kenji to her. "My time baby sitting this kid. May I go now?" he asked irritably.

"Gomen," replied Kaoru. "Uh..nothing's wrong. Go if you want," she said, taking her son.

"Boo boo!" gurgled Kenji.

OR A PERFECT DAUGHTER

She looked at her son and smiled. "You're the cutest little boy I've seen."

Yahiko frowned. "Yea, right. Kaoru, what's bothering you?" he asked.

"Nothing." She looked p at the sky.

Flashback

"Mommy! Mommy!" screamed three-year-old Kaoru. "Mommy!"

Her mother smiled at her. "You little troublemaker. What are you up to now?" she asked.

"Nothing," she answered.

Her mother carried her into her arms. "Com'on let's go home."

Kaoru frowned. "NO!!!" she yelled.

"Kaoru-chan, we have to," said her mother.

"NO!!!" she yelled again.

"But Kaoru."

"NO!!!"

Flashback End

CAN IT BE? I'M NOT MEANT TO PLAY THIS PART

Kenji smiled at his mother. "Ka sa!" he said gleefully. Ka sa! Ka sa!"

His mother held him close. "You're right, Kenji," she whispered.

NOW I SEE, THAT IF I WERE TRULY TO BE MYSELF

"Kenshin," Kaoru whispered. Kenshin looked at her with a smile. "I."

"What?" asked Kenshin.

Kaoru shook her head. "Nothing..."

I WOULD BREAK MY FAMILY"S HEART

WHO IS THAT GIRL I SEE? STARING STRIAGHT, BACK AT ME

Kenji looked at his mother. "Ka sa! I wet my pants!" he exclaimed.

Kaoru slowly lifted him up. "Ok, let's go change."

While she was dressing her son, she looked at the mirror on the wall.

WHY IS MY RELFELCTION SOMEONE I DON'T KNOW?

"Kaoru?" asked Kenshin from behind. Kaoru looked at him. Kenshin held out a small rose. "For you."

Kaoru's frown slowly turned into a smile. "Arigato." But then, inside she still felt uneasy.

Kenshin sensed it. "Want to go for a walk tonight?"

Kaoru agreed and they did. Kenji trailed along behind the two of them, adoring the fireflies.

Kaoru saw herself on the water near by.

SOMEHOW I CANNOT HIDE, WHO I AM, THOUGH I TRY

"Kenshin," she whispered. Kenshin looked at her thoughtfully. "Am I missing something?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" asked Kenshin.

WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?

"I mean, I'm supposed to be your wife, but..I'm..still.."

Kenshin smiled. "I don't care what you're thinking right now," he said and held her close. "You're perfect."

Kaoru smiled as they both kissed. She looked at the waters again, this time beaming.

"Nothing," she whispered. "You can't judge a book by its cover. Neither can my reflection judge me."

WHEN WILL MY REFLECTION SHOW WHO I AM INSIDE?
