THE END OF THE BEGINNING
BY: Emilee


Chapter 2: The Wedding


Kaoru sat there with a blank stare on her face. She finally realized that she hadn't given Kenshin an answer. Finally she nodded and said, "Yes Kenshin, I will." She put her arms around him and he put his around her. They looked at each other and they kissed. They walked back to the dojo without telling anyone.

The wedding day was set for July 14. No one had figured out that they were engaged until one week before. When Sanosuke finally figured it out, he went somewhere and laughed so hard that he was in tears. Megumi felt pretty bad when she heard the news but didn't show it. Yahiko was laughing pretty hard too but not as bad as Sanosuke was.

On the day of the wedding Kenshin was wearing a black gi and white hakamas that was made out of the finest fabric Kaoru could afford. Kenshin looked down at his outfit and sighed. * I don't feel comfortable in this,* Kenshin thought. He looked back at his calendar to confirm the date of his wedding. "Yes, today is the day sessha is to marry Ms. Kaoru. But... sessha is feeling nervous."

Kenshin's heart began to pound and his palms grew sweaty. "Sessha should get some air." With that, Kenshin walked out of his room and stood in the backyard. The more he thought on the wedding the nervous he became. He suddenly used his god-like speed to go back to the side of the lake where he had proposed to Kaoru.

Sanosuke walked into the room where Kenshin was getting ready but he wasn't there. "Where did he go? KENSHIN!!!!! You idiot!!! This is the perfect time for you to be running off. I guess I better go find him before everyone finds out," Sanosuke said with a puzzled look on his face. Sano went to get Yahiko who was already seated.

"Yahiko, come help me find Kenshin. He's gone and I can't find him anywhere," Sanosuke whispered to Yahiko. Yahiko's eyes widened.

"WH......" Sano quickly put his hand over Yahiko's mouth stopping him from yelling in front of everyone about Kenshin.

"Be quite Yahiko. I don't want anyone to find out about this,"Sano whispered to Yahiko as they started to stand up.

They both ran all over Tokyo and they still couldn't find him. They asked everyone but they didn't know until they ran into Misao. She was on her way to the wedding and she said, "I saw him over by the lake." Before she could finish her sentence they were off.

"Well, that was very rude," Misao said with a mad look on her face.

"There he is," Yahiko exclaimed. Kenshin turned to see Sano and Yahiko approaching him.

"Kenshin, we have been looking all over for you. Why did you come out here," Sanosuke asked.

"I was very so nervous," Kenshin said with a sigh.

"Well, we had better get back or people might get suspicious," Sano said.

"Yes, I guess you are right. We do need to get back," Kenshin said with a smile on his face.

When they returned to the dojo, everyone was seated in the right place. A large array of flowers were placed around the room. Kenshin heard the familar footsteps of the one whom he had devoted his life to protect. He let his eyes gaze upon her slender form as she slowly approached him. Kaoru wore a dark blue kimono with white sparrows embroidered into the fabric.

*She is so beautiful and I love her so much. I still do not understand why a woman of such beauty would chose a man like me?*

When Kaoru arrived at his side, he smiled and focused his attention back on the ceremony. After the ceremony, they stood gazing in each other's eyes. Sano yelled out, "Kiss her already!" Kenshin and Kaoru both blushed. Kenshin then pulled Kaoru in a warm embrace and kissed her. At that moment a strong breeze blew in cherry blossoms. Tears streamed down Misao's face as she watched her two best friends finally become as one. It was indeed a very romantic moment for Kenshin and Kaoru.



At the reception, things seemed to have gotten back to normal. Sano was eating all the food and Yahiko was being chased by Kaoru. While trying to run away from Kaoru, Yahiko accidentally ran straight into the food table. He accidental knocked a pot of tea all over Sanosuke. He jumped up and hollered at Yahiko.

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!"

Yahiko's eyes widened in fear. He ran as fast as he could away from Sanosuke. Unfortunately, he didn't see the tree that was ahead of him. Yahiko ran smack into the tree and fell down. His eyes began to swirl like Kenshin's. Everyone laughed at both of them.

Later that night, after Kenshin and Kaoru fell asleep, Kenshin began having the same dream he had earlier about Shishio. He woke up sweating and noticed a strange mark on his stomach. When he sat up to investigate the mark, it suddenly disappeared.
