[Sakura G.]

Like chapter 1??? Here's chapter 2!!!

Chapter 2: In Kenshin's Bed

"Ms. Kaoru....Ms. Kaoru....Please...Ms. Kaoru..."
"Wha?" mumbled Kaoru as she woke up. Kaoru then screeched in horror. What she found was that she was lying in Kenshin's bed! Was she just sleeping with Kenshin!? Was it all just a dream? She then saw Kenshin sitting next to her. Yahiko and Sanosuke were standing behind him.
"What! Where am I?" Kaoru yelled as she jumped up, "What's going on? What am I doing in YOUR BED Kenshin?" she yelled, making Yahiko cover up his ears.
"I'm sorry Ms. Kaoru. You see, I heard a scream in the woods and found you fainted on the ground. We brought you in here because we didn't want to go in your room without your permission," Kenshin explained.
"Oh....what...what hit me?" she asked as she looked down at her shoulder.
"Hit you? Nothing hit you Ms. Kaoru. Nothing that Ms. Megumi could find. You just have a small cut on your arm. Ms. Megumi figured you got it from some tree when you were chasing Yahiko. Why do you ask?" replied Kenshin. His face had become very serious when he asked her this. He didn't want to think she was the next target of one of his enemies.
"It's just....I thought something...something like a dart...had hit me. It hurt so much I screamed and then I guess I fainted. The sun was about to set so I couldn't see anyone.....or anything," she replied, rubbing her arm. That when Kaoru noticed Kenshin was bleeding all down his left shoulder.
"Kenshin! What happened to you!" she cried as she sat next to him and began to look at his shoulder. Kenshin noticed a tear running down her face.
"It's nothing to worry about Ms. Kaoru. I saw Enishi while looking for you and Yahiko. I kind of got into a fight with Enishi ((you know...that other man slayer that kidnapped Kaoru before)) before I heard you scream that I did. As you can see...I kind of got bloody," he said as he put an arm around her shoulder, "Please don't cry Ms. Kaoru. It's not your fault," he whispered into her ear. During all this Yahiko and Sano had sneaked out of the room.
"I don't want to see anything tonight," said Sano.
"Gosh! Can't they just admit it! They love each other but they won't say it!" shouted Yahiko once they were outside. Yahiko then picked up his wooden sword and began training with one of the other students, beating them in a matter of moments.
"They just don't want to be told the other one doesn't love them back. Kaoru is afraid Kenshin doesn't love her, and he's afraid she doesn't love him. It's crazy if you ask me," Sano said to Yahiko after he had beaten the other two students.

Meanwhile.....
"Master wants to know if it's done yet."
"Did you get the blood?"
"Yes. Here."
"Thank you. I guess you are useful for SOME things. It'll be ready tonight."
"But...I already shot her with that one stuff you gave me. I thought that was the stuff that was going to change her."
"Yes and no. That'll make sure she's asleep when you inject this. We don't want her awake when you inject her with his blood."
"Is that it?"
"What do you mean 'Is that it?’ This is going to kill the Battousai! Of course it's not that much! Too much more and the girl would die! And if she dies...you'll die."
"Yes sir."
"Here. It's finished now. You know what to do. Tonight’s the new moon so no one should see you. Now get going."

Back and the dojo....

"Kenshin...I love you," Kaoru said as she kissed his scared cheek.
"And I you," he replied as he kissed her back on the forehead.
"I think I better head back now Kenshin. I'm really tired. I don't want any dinner....so please do not interrupt my sleep," she said as she got up and went to the door.
"Good night Kenshin. I love you."
"Good night Ms. Kaoru. I love you too."
