Chapter 3

 

The next morning Kenshin woke to the sound of someone training, she got up and got dressed, and then he walked towards the sound only to see Kaoru wearing training outfit and practicing some moves in the garden.

“Kaoru, doing kendo” Kenshin thought as she walked towards her.

“Miss Kaoru”

Kaoru turned around and swung her bokken at kenshin, he easily dodged it and Kaoru withdraw when she Kenshin staring at her in surprise.

“Sorry kenshin” she apologized.

“It's alright Miss kaoru” he said giving her a small smile

“What are you staring at?” she asked nicely.

“I just didn't think that a noble lady like your self would be up before the crack of dawn, practicing kendo” Kenshin answered putting his hand on his head.

“I like to know how to defend myself, but mostly I enjoy doing it as a hobby” she said.

“How long have you been doing it?” he asked.

“Ever since I was five years old I would get up early and practice everyday for an hour.”

Kenshin had to admit that he was impressed with Kaoru's commitment for kendo.

“Why would you want to defend yourself, isn't it my job to protect you” he asked.

“Yes but I like to be ready in case-” Kaoru stopped herself and looked away.

“What?” Kenshin asked his eyes widened as he waited fro Kaoru to answer him.

“It's nothing Kenshin, don't worry” she said smiling at Kenshin sweetly.

“Come on Kaoru you can trust me” said Kenshin as he placed his hand on Kaoru's shoulder.

“Really Kenshin it's nothing I just like doing kendo, don't worry about me” she said.

“I can't help it, those beautiful sapphire eyes really make me want to worry about you…..damn it there I go again…..I must be crazy” thought Kenshin.

“Ok, now come on we better get some breakfast in you” said Kenshin holding his hand out to her, she happily accepted his hand and followed his towards her room.

“You know we could practice our skills together, if you want” he said

“That sounds great; I would love to practice with you” she said while giving him a warm smile.

“kenshin I'll go into my room and change then we can go to breakfast” she said as she walked into her room leaving Kenshin alone with his thoughts.

“Just because I hate her father and want to kill him, there is no reason why I should feel the same about Kaoru, she is so pure and innocent and I would protect her always”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~`

“I'm ready kenshin; did you wait for me long?” Kaoru said as she slide the door and walked out her room, she was wearing a yellow kimono with a rose pattern in it, her hair was in a high ponytail which was held in a yellow and red ribbon

"It's alright Miss Kaoru, lets go” said Kenshin.

They walked side by side towards the dinnig hall, when they entered they saw the ambassador sitting at the head of the table, Kaoru sat to his right and Kenshin sat next to her.

“Good morning” Kaoru said

“mmmmph” was all the ambassador said

Kaoru hung her head low and picked at her food, Kenshin just sat there and stared at the ambassador

“Kenshin, I want to talk to you after breakfast, in private” the ambassador said

“Alright sir” answered kenshin as he continued eating his food

They all ate in silence, kenshin noticed that Kaoru eyes had sadness in them, he was getting angry, and he couldn't understand why the ambassador could treat his own daughter like this.

After they finished with breakfast the ambassador stood up and mentioned kenshin to follow him and disappeared into the next room. Kenshin stood up and turned to look at Kaoru who had the same sadness in her eyes

“You better go see what he wants, I'll be in my room if you need me” she said not looking at kenshin and turned to leave.

His arm shot up to grab her wrist and turn her around gently, she silently gasped at Kenshin's action

“Are you going to be alright?” he asked

“Yes, I'll be fine” she answered still not meeting his eyes

He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head so that her eyes could meet his.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, don't worry about me” she said, smiling brightly at him

“Alright, I won't be long” he said letting go of her wrist

“Ok” she said and left the room

 

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

Kenshin entered the room that the ambassador entered before and found him sitting at a round table sipping a glass of sake.

“You wanted to see me sir” he said

“Yes Kenshin take a seat” ambassador said as he filled his glass and another glass

“Have some sake” he handed the other class to kenshin

“I don't drink sir” kenshin said as he placed the glass on the table

“fine more for me” he said as he sipped the sake from both glasses “anyway I want you to keep a close eye on Kaoru, don't let her out of your sight, other wise I'm sure that she will go something she will regret”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean you have to tell me everything that she does so that I am sure she won't do anything to dishonor me”

“Dishonor you, how so?”

“She may have an affair with a man”

That last comment had Kenshin's blood boil, he couldn't imagine Kaoru with a man doing anything dishonorable, and he was sure that she wouldn't never do that or could she?

“No Kaoru doesn't look like the type who would do anything to dishonor her father” he thought

“Sir I think you must have more trust in your daughter,” kenshin said

“I don't trust her at all and that is why I hired you to tell me what she does, where she goes, who she meets and where”

“So I am here to spy to you on your daughter” kenshin said, he was fighting to keep control over himself

“Yes, now go I would expect you to inform me if Kaoru tries anything” the ambassador said as he continued to drink his sake.

Kenshin got up and walked out of the room, his eyes weren't the soft violet but are piercing amber.

“How could someone be so heartless, having to hire someone just to spy on his daughter, he makes me sick”

 

 

Antica: that's chapter 3, do you think I'm going too slowly, do you want me to let kenshin admit his love to kaoru sooner or do you want more kenshin and kaoru moments before he admits his love.

Battousai: make me admit my love, so I can ravish her

Kenshin: no, give kaoru-dono more time she may not want to do anything with sessha

Battousai: cut the crap, she wants it, make me admit

Kenshin: no make me wait

Antica(comes in between the two): boys stop fighting it all depends on what the readers want

Battousai and kenshin: please review
