Chapters 4 making you feel better

 

“Miss Kaoru” said Kenshin as he knocked on her bedroom door.

“Yes Kenshin, you may come in” she said, her voice was low and sounded depressed

Kenshin slid the door open to find Kaoru sitting in a chair and looking out the window

“Miss Kaoru” Kenshin said as he made is way towards her

“Are you alright?” he asked placing a hand on her shoulder making her jump at the contact

“Yes Kenshin I am fine” she answered turning away from the window to look at him

“Your father wante-”

“Kenshin, you don't have to tell me what my father wanted from you, if he wanted me to know he would have said it in front of me” she interrupted

“Alright” he said, noticing the sadness in her eyes.

“A frown doesn't suit her….I wish I could find a way for her sadness to vanish” he thought. Then an idea stuck him

“Miss Kaoru do you enjoy horse riding?” he asked

“Yes why?” she answered

“Then come with me, we will go on a ride….I want to show you something….that is if you want to come” he said

“Yes I want to come…but Kenshin why do you want me to come?” she asked

“you are depressed miss Kaoru I can see it in you eyes, and I think you need some cheering up” he said extending his hand out for her to take it

“Thank you Kenshin” she said smiling at him while placing her hand in his and let herself be dragged towards the stables.

 

Once inside Kenshin helped Kaoru on a brown mare that had with feet before getting on a black horse.

“Ready” he asked

“Yes” she answered grabbing her horse's reins

“Okay then let's go” he said as he kicked the horse's side and galloped away

“Hey…wait for me” she said as she kicked the sides of her own horse and galloped after Kenshin.

“So where are we going?” Kaoru asked when she finally caught up with him

“You'll see…..just follow me, and you'll be fine” he answered

“awww come on tell me” she pleaded

“Sorry miss Kaoru…..it's a secret you'll find out when we get there” he said.

“I hate secrets” she argued

He chucked and continued to ride deep into the forest with Kaoru behind him

“Where is he taking me…..I can see that he is trying to make me feel better…..he is so sweet to care whether I am happy or sad” thought Kaoru as she giggled and tried to keep up with Kenshin.

After galloping for quite sometime, they arrived in the middle of the forest where Kenshin got off his horse and went towards Kaoru who was still sitting on hers.

“Where are we Kenshin?” she asked

“I want to show you something, Miss Kaoru but we have to continue on foot if we are to reach there” he answered.

“Okay, just help me get off the horse please” she said

“Alright” Kenshin said

He placed both hands on her waist; Kaoru blushed at the contact and slid down the horse, trusting Kenshin would catch her if she fell. When her feet touched the ground, Kenshin took his hands off her waist, grabbed her hand and walked towards on of the paths of the forest.

They didn't get far when Kenshin removed his hand from hers and went behind her and covered both her eyes with his hands.

“Kenshin, what are you doing?” she asked playfully

“I want it to be a surprise” he answered and started walking while guiding Kaoru on where to walk.

 

Kaoru felt her cheeks heated at the feeling of his warm body against hers, but she didn't mind the contact and continued to let Kenshin guide her to their destination, and it wasn't a long time before he told her to stop.

“Are you ready Miss Kaoru?” he asked

“Of course Kenshin” she answered

“Alright you can look now” he said removing his hands from her eyes

Kaoru's eyes fluttered open and she gasped at the site, they were standing in the middle of the forest, sunlight was trying to break free from the tree branches but only a few beams managed to pass, the ground was covered with jasmine flowers and a beautiful small lake sat in the middle of the site, it's waters was so clear that Kaoru could even see the stones that lay at the bottom, they were sparking like diamonds which made Kaoru breathless.

“ohhh Kenshin, it's so beautiful” she said

“hai beautiful” he said looking at Kaoru instead of the view.

“Kenshin, how did you find this place?” she said turning to look at Kenshin

“I used to come here with my sister, it used to be special place for both of to spend time with each other, we always used to come here to get comfort when anything terrible happens, this was a secret place that only me and my sister shared” he answered while trying not to sound sad.

“Then why did you show me this place” she asked.

“You needed some comfort because you were depressed from you father's action” he answered.

“You don't have to worry about me Kenshin, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself, you didn't have to share this place with me” she said looking away from him.

“But I wanted to” he said talked a step closer to her and placing a hand on her shoulder and titled her head so she can look at him

“Are you feeling better now?” he asked while smiling at her.

Kaoru blushed at the contact and nodded her head while smiling back at him.

“Thank you” she whispered

“Your welcome” he said softly

They both seated themselves by the lake as they both looked at it in silence, Kaoru had her legs crossed to one side and her fingers were tracing a flower petal in the grass, Kenshin had his legs crossed and his hands were on his lap, he leaned backwards and moved his hands to place them on the ground to support him, his hand accidentally brushed Kaoru's, they both jumped at the contact and looked away trying to hid their blushes.

“Stupid stupid stupid I should have been more careful to where I put my hand…..she probably thinks of me as a pervert or something” he thought

“I'm sorry Miss Kaoru” he apologized

“It's…its okay Kenshin….no harm done” she said

Kenshin turned his face towards her to find her smiling at him

“I really sorry” he apologized again

“Kenshin I told you its okay”

Kenshin smiled back at her and silence raised between the two once more

“He probably still embarrassed by what he did….I better change the subject so he could feel more comfortable” Kaoru thought

“Kenshin tell me about yourself” she said wanting to break the silence between them.

“What do you want to know?” he asked feel a little more comfortable

“Well when did you learn swordsmanship?” she asked

“I actually taught myself when I ten, that I did” he answered.

“Well….tell me about your family….you mentioned that you used to come here with your sister” she said.

Kaoru noticed that there was hurt in his eyes, she was going to ask the reason for having such hurt but he put in head down and said.

“My parents died from an illness when I was seven, then my older sister took care of me, she used to work day and night to try and provide from us” he said

“Where is she now?” she asked

“She got murdered five years ago” he answered looking at the ground with his bangs covering his eyes.

“oh no…..I shouldn't have asked him about this….he probably still hurting over the death of his family” Kaoru thought as guilt began to take over her.

She placed her hand in his, Kenshin looked at her immediately, and confusion filled his eyes as he began to drown in her eyes.

“I'm sorry Kenshin I didn't mean to bring back sad memories” she said ripping her gaze from him and looked down at the ground.

“He would probably hate now” she thought

Kenshin tried to look in her eyes but they were covered by her bangs, he then looked down at their connecting hands and smiled.

“she probably feels guilty right now and is trying to make me feel better….she is so kind and pure to have concern for me” he thought as he began to squeeze her hand, it didn't hurt, but it made Kaoru look up at him, Kenshin noticed tears in her eyes, he didn't want her to cry for him.

“It's alright Miss Kaoru, it happened a long time ago….perhaps it was their time to go, you shouldn't feel guilty to have brought it up, and that you shouldn't” he said smiling at her.

She didn't say anything, she simply smiled at him, to him a smile from he is all that he needed.

“We should go back Miss Kaoru, it will be dark soon” he said standing up and pulled her off the ground.

“Alright” she said as they made the way towards the horses.

“Even though I told her I was over Tomoe death I am still going to kill that basterd she calls her father” he thought as he got on his horse

“Hey Kenshin, I'll race you back towards the house…..loser gets to sleep on the roof” she said as she got on her own horse

“Alright miss Kaoru” he answered, he was glad that she was in a better mood than before.

“Kenshin….I'll kill you if I find out you're hold back alright” she threatened playfully.

“I don't intend to hold back” he said chuckling

“Alright….she you at home then” she said as she kicked the sides of her horse and began to gallop towards the mansion.

“Hey….you cheated...wait for me” he said as he kicked his own horse and galloped after her.
