Kenshin was busy cleaning the dishes. A gentle breeze blew thru the window making him remember Kaoru for unknown reason. He could see her cleaning the backyard. The breeze blew her long hair gently and Kenshin thought they were dancing and waving at him. He absent-mindedly waved back at them.
'Who are u waving to?' Yahiko enter the kitchen
Kenshin quickly came to his senses and said, 'not waving, yahiko just warding off these houseflies'
'Yeah rite' Yahiko eyed him suspiciously looking out of window but said nothing and went away stuffing his mouth with the snacks Kenshin had prepared.
Kenshin returned to gaze at Kaoru. 'Boy! she is beautiful. This kimono expresses her beauty more clearly. Baka, u shnt be thinking of kaoru-dono like that' Kenshin stopped himself and turned away only to turn back and smile at the undefying beauty of kaoru. Shes not only beautiful but brave and kind hearted too. But for her i would still be a Battousai. Its only because of her that i live a good life and have friends. But what have i done to her in return. Yes, i take care of her home but is
that enough to return her kindness. I want to give her something which she would have through out her life. But what is it?'
Kenshin was thinking hard not even noticing Tae entering the kitchen. She caught him staring at Kaoru and disturbed him.
'If u want to see her i can call her here' Tae said
Blusing and regaining himself, Kenshin said, 'Oh, Miss Tae, i didnt notice u coming in'
'You probably couldnt have and i dont blame u' Tae said grinning
'What made u come here Ms.Tae' Kenshin asked
'nothing in particular. I was passing by and i wanted some water to drink. i saw none at the gate so i entered kitchen thinking u might be here'
'Here Miss.Tae' Kenshin handed her a glass of water
after drinking it, Tae said, 'if u really like her why dont u say her so?'
'What Miss.Tae?'
'U were gazing at her for full 5 min when i entered'
'I was thinking abt her kindness, Miss Tae. But for her i wouldnt be having a good life. I want to return her kindness.'
'If u want to return her kindness why dont u make her happy by marrying her?'
Kenshin lowered his head and said,'I am not worthy for her and please dont say such things again.'
'But she likes u kenshin. dont u see it?'
'Please Miss.Tae if u have any other idea i would welcome it. else, i have chores to do.'
'I will take leave then. But dont forget what i said and her birthday is two weeks from today. Hope u could give her what she wants.'
'Thanks for the information, Miss.Tae'
Tae left.
'Two weeks from today, han? I can make some cash to get her some presents.' kenshin thought
Next day, after Kaoru left for her student' place for some special training, Kenshin quickly found Yahiko and told him that he had to go out and will be late for dinner and asked him to inform Kaoru. Later in the evening, Kaoru came in looking tired.
'Kenshin' she called out.
Yahiko came out and informed her about Kenshin. Kaoru felt pain, where is he gone now. what happened to him. She quickly refreshed herself and sat at the dojo steps waiting for him.
Kenshin came in by the dinner time and saw kaoru sleeping at the dojo steps. Yahiko came out seeing him and told she slept waiting for him.
Kenshin carried her to the kitchen and woke her up. She woke up and simply hugged Kenshin tightly. Kenshin was choking
Suddenly she realised what she was doing and hit kenshin so hard that he went flying to the wall with his 'oroooooo'
'How dare u hugged me Kenshin' Kaoru shouted regaining from embarrassment
'It was u who choked him, ugly' Yahiko snapped back
'No i did not' Kaoru came down on Yahiko. But he dogged her attack and shouted, 'U did, u did, u did. Poor Kenshin' running away from the kitchen
she started to chase him. As this was the usual scene kenshin brought himself to stand up and started to arrange for dinner which he had brought along with him.
Then he called out to them for dinner. They both came in bickering and was surprised to see the dinner.
