The Perfect One
The aroma of food floated through the house. Kenshin was cooking breakfast in the kitchen as usual. Kaoru came strolling in, a sleepy expression still lingering on her face. Kenshin watched her as she absently leaned her elbows on the counter.
(( I'm an ordinary man, with an ordinary life. Does she know that I'm alive? Man, she's really something else.))
"Ohayou Kenshin. Ano, what's for breakfast?" She took one of her delicate hands and rubbed her eyes. Kenshin placed the chopping knife down, and turned to face the half- asleep girl. He beamed a cheerful and carefree smile at her.
(( You're the perfect one, and I don't expect a thing from you at all. You're the perfect one and I can't even breathe.))
"Miso soup, egg fried rice, and fried eggs, Kaoru-dono." Again a cheerful smile. Kaoru met Kenshin's intent gazed, and smiled her self. She leaned over and embraced Kenshin in a warm hug. "Arigato Kenshin. I'm going to go wake that lazy deshi of mine up." Kenshin watched her retreating form longingly.
(( You are so unpredictable, sometimes, I'd like to be that way. Your charm, so irresistible. You are really something else.))
After breakfast, Kenshin went outside to do the laundry. Not too long after, Kaoru and Yahiko were out doing their normal routine. The peace was short lived as Yahiko made another one of his "Busu" comments, resulting in the usual beating from Kaoru. "Maa, maaa. Daijoubu desu, ne?" Kenshin stepped between the two, feebley attempting to pacify teacher and student. Kenshin welcomed the calming presence of familiarity. As he studied two of his gaurdian angels
(( You're the perfect one, and I don't expect a thing from you at all. You're the perfect one and I can't even breathe.))
It was late afternoon when Kenshin resigned himself from his chores. He spotted Kaoru sitting under her favorite tree, lost in thought. He found a nice spot by her side, and watched as the endless clouds glided meaninglessly across the blue sky. Blue, the same blue as Kaoru's eyes. "What are you thinking about, Kaoru-dono?" Kaoru visibly flinched at the formality. She turned her dreamy eyes to Kenshin
(( I get weak when she's around. I can't speak when she's around. Yea, she turns me upside down. Man, she's really something else.))
"Just thinking about things. About my parents." Her expression saddened. She smiled, and returned her gaze to the sky. "Today is a beautiful day, ne?" Kenshin stared at her, unwilling to lift his gaze in fear that she might disappear should he turn away. "Yes it is."
(( You're the perfect one, and I don't expect a thing from you at all. You are everything that I never knew, I always wanted.))
They stayed there for what seemed like eternity. Together, just staring at the sky, pondering their own pasts. Kenshin reflecting on how lucky he was, to be excepted be this wonderful person.
(( You're the perfect one, and I don't expect a thing from you at all. You're the perfect one and I can't even breathe.))
How he wanted to be able to love her, and how he wasn't able to do so. He stared at the sky, sadly and hopeful. Hopeful that one day, that might change, that he might be able to fogive himself as she already had. 'Aishiteru, Kaoru.'
(( I'm an ordinary man.))
