A Blossom Of a Jewel
[The Carriage halted announcing they?re arrival. Himura Kenshin cast his ward an annoyed glance, before opening the carriage door and stepping out. He set to unloading Kamiya-Sans luggage, keeping an eye on the residence before him and an ear out for movement from within the carriage. The driver came to assist with the task, but Kenshin waved him away curtly, wanting time to gather himself before saying his final good-byes. The journey hadn?t felt nearly long enough, with Kamiya-San saying nary a word along the way, and it left Kenshin feeling cheated. He?d wanted to hold her, kiss her hair and promise everything would be all right, but they?d both promised to stay away. Sighing deeply Kenshin walked back around to the door and peered within the dim space. His sharp eyes saw her trembling; his heart went out to her. She felt his gaze, sensed his presence and turned. Kenshin averted his eyes and grabbed her pale slim hand in his bronze calloused one, pulling her from her seat and into the open air. She tripped on the hem of her silk Kimono, falling into him. He gripped her upper arms to steady her, keeping the distance between her body and his. Kenshin gave her a reproving look to say ?Compose your-self? and she bit her bottom lip. Her eyes found his and pleaded. ?Take me with you, don?t leave me here? they seemed to beg. For just a moment as he stood there gazing down at her, the thought tempted him. Take her and run far away, marry her. ?Kenshin?..? she uttered uncertainly. Kenshin shook his head. For only a moment, he?d forgotten his place. ?I am a Samurai Kaoru-Koishii, a Hitokiri. The Shogunate your Father would never allow a union between us.? Kaoru?s eyes welled with tears, and Kenshin swore he saw her heart break within their Cerulean depths. His heart pounded against his ribs at the sight. With calloused fingers he lifted her chin to meet his eyes, enabling her to see the love within them that he could not put into words. ?Don?t cry. You?ll ruin you?re makeup, and you must be presentable for your new Husband? he murmured, his voice catching lightly on the foreign sounding word. Kenshin leaned forward to kiss her forehead and placed a hand on the back of her head to hold her still. ?Everything will be alright my love? he whispered against her cool skin. A shudder ran through her when her raven locks tumbled free from their pony-tail and fell to her waist in silky waves. Kenshin stepped back, her ribbon fisted in his hand. ?If you?ll permit me, I?d like to keep it. It?s always been a favorite of mine? he explained huskily. Kaoru nodded mutely, and Kenshin looked towards her new home just in time to see her future In-Laws coming towards them. He bowed to Kaoru, and then turned to Lord Shinomori and his wife, Lady Tomaki. ?Konnichiwa Lord Shinomori, Lady Tomaki? he greeted them softly. ?Welcome Himura-San, Hime Kamiya-Chan? Lady Tomaki replied gently. Lord Shinomori met Kenshin?s eyes, and a distasteful frown tugged his lips downward. He?d seen his and Kaoru?s exchange and wasn?t pleased, considering the fact that the Shogunate had promised beforehand that the relationship they?d shared was over. From the corner of his eye he saw Kaoru struggling with her tears. ?I have delivered Hime Kamiya to you safely as promised, and now I must depart? he murmured bowing once more.? [/i]
" I remember it clearly, the day you slipped away, was the day I found it wont be the same.
