AN: 7/17/04. I am a good girl. I may update more. If I don't die. – love me and leave me encouragement. (please)
[Whenever I actually updated this… sometime in the fall of 2003…] I changed my penname. [to "infinite nemo"- on the search, you have to type it in as "infinitenemo"]
And even wrote a cute little miserable story about it. I'm still deciding whether I should post it or not. And next- I posted a new story called "Juxtaposition." I don't know what happened… but it feels like it has no friends, and is lonely, so please. Show it some RK lovin'!
This chapter brought to you by all the reviewers, and not nearly enough chocolate. pouts [And strawberry pocky. Yum.]
He loves her, He loves her not

Last time…
Answer them, 'I don't like anyone, I love Kaoru.
[Is there any way to cure immaturity, de gozaru ka?]
How did this topic ever even come up?
Luckily for Kenshin, the captain's voice rang out. "Lights out- first watch report!"
Oh thank goodness… Once the ship's crew dimmed or blew out most of the lamps hanging about in various places, most of the crew would go to sleep, and nobody was to say a word since they had been told that noise carried over water more easily than on land, and they did not want to draw any attention to themselves if at all possible.
Do you love Kaoru?" Battousai asked Kenshin.
Well yes, of course, how could I not?
Good. Battousai seemed satisfied. Then, surprising all of them, and possibly even himself, he turned to the rurouni and spoke.
You know, I think you love her too.
Chapter Eleven: Moving Along…
[I don't know what you're taking about. You're completely delusional, de gozaru yo!]
You were as disappointed as I was today when Kaoru didn't appear that morning. Why else weren't you as vocal as you normally are?
[You're sadly mistaken, and I'm going to bed.] With that, the rurouni left.
Was that a bit too much? You don't want to push him too hard, de gozaru.
Nah, I think he does love Kaoru- don't you? You saw how huffy he got just now.
It… can seem so… I'd like to think that, but I'm not sure.
He does. Battousai said confidently. And it would be a lot easier to win over Kaoru's affections if we're all working together!"
True, Yahiko and Sano have been giving us more than our usual quota of strange looks recently.
Kenshin fell asleep easily, knowing he had the third watch that night, and he dreamt of all the ways to profess his love to Kaoru… once things worked out- including that minor problem with the rurouni- and of course being back on land and at the dojo.
Kaoru woke up and stretched. After blinking the haze of sleep from her eyes, she glanced at the calendar, and the first thought she had was that it had been a month. One whole month since Megumi had come to stay with her… a month since Yahiko, Sano and… Kenshin had left… she still thought about them periodically throughout her days, wondering where they were, what they were doing, and if they were all well… and she was thankful that this time they had left, she had still been able to fully function. Of course, having other friends around and knowing those who left meant to return helped a lot. Kaoru chuckled softly. Besides, now that she had some more time to herself, she had been able to tie up some loose ends, develop more in her training, and learn about some of the components that made up Takani Megumi.
Also, she was seeing Rui periodically. Sometimes when the three of them, she, Rui, and Megumi were together, Kaoru wondered whether he liked Megumi more than he did her, but the fact that he often brought a male friend along when he knew Megumi would be around rather easily calmed her fear, if fears they were.
Kaoru had to go to other dojo's and teach classes today, and Megumi had said she might end up staying at the clinic overnight. Rui had mentioned seeing her later in the afternoon or evening, and overall, Kaoru was looking forward to a rather pleasant day.
While Kaoru felt peaceful, Kenshin most certainly did not. Life on the ship was not difficult- rather, it was easier than at home. He didn't need to cook, nor did he have to wash clothes, and only rarely when he asked did the crew tell him to help clean. Each man had their job, and they were loathe to share it, lest they be deemed expendable.
However, Kenshin had become accustomed to chores, and he felt idle. Not only that, but having no duties other than protecting the cargo, he found himself becoming very tense, and overly focused, coming up with hundreds of possibilities of attacks to come. While this job wasn't nearly as dangerous as his former career as a hitokiri, there was a difference—in that he strongly desired returning from this trip very much alive to Kaoru-dono.
Kenshin sighed and resumed pacing. So caught up in his thoughts was he that the rather large and lanky foot that was stuck out in his path was never even noticed.
"Orororo?"
Can't you pay attention? Battousai grumbled.
[Well, I've got a lot on my mind.]
I'm surprised you even have a mind, sometimes.
[At least I'm not a hentai with a one-trac-]
Why don't we all calm down and pick ourselves up?
Both other characters agreed reluctantly. Kenshin turned to Sanosuke.
"Was that really necessary, de gozaru?"
"Yes. You're making me nervous with your pacing. You know, only you would want more work." Sano said in disgust. "I can't believe you got thrown out of the scullery for trying to wash dishes."
Kenshin merely ignored his friend, brushed himself off and resumed his pacing.
Surprisingly enough, on the social hierarchy of the ship, the so called "muscle" was at the top- and even Yahiko had gained some respect when he had bested a few of the men at sparring. As he had finished, his face had been glowing with pride, and he had unconsciously started walking as if with a destination in mind before stopping short. His expression had fallen for a heartbeat, and then he lifted his head, determination showing in his eyes.
"I'm gonna train every day now, and then busu will be proud of me, and teach me even more." Kenshin and Sano had both been surprised at Yahiko's reaction, but Yahiko was not finished. "I'll show her- if I defeat all these guys, I'll bet I can defeat busu too!"
Kenshin exchanged a look with Sano, and both men had grinned, before Sano cuffed the boy on the shoulder good naturedly, causing him to stumble. Although they said nothing to the Yahiko, both men had been proud of him. However, Kenshin didn't understand the implications of Yahiko's words until a while later, when he heard an unusual sound at night. He went to investigate, and found the boy curled up against a cabin, sniffling.
Kenshin glanced around and saw Sano carefully pacing the deck some distance away, keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. Assured that everything was under control, the older man knelt down next to the boy.
"What's wrong, Yahiko?" He asked gently.
"I-" Yahiko sniffled, quickly scrubbing his eyes to rid them of tears. "I-I…" He took a deep breath, and said in a stronger yet rushed voice, "ImissKaoru."
He must really miss her if he's saying her actual name…
I miss her too, Battousai agreed glumly. Kaoru koishii…
[Stop being such a sissy, de gozaru.]
You. Battousai said darkly, Have got no room to talk, Mr. pink gi.
[You know 80's hair, that's starting to get really old.]
"Yahiko, you'll see her in less than two months… really it is only about a month away." Kenshin said gently.
"I know." Yahiko said gloomily, "and I've been ok for the first two months, but… but what if things are different when we get home?"
"Oro. Different?"
What the de gozaru is he talking about?
"Yeah." He said sullenly. "Like, you know, with… with that Rui guy." Yahiko spat out.
Oro. Oh no.
…
[That guy better not be there!]
Both other personalities stared at the rurouni in curiosity.
[Er, because he might take over my duties.]
Ri-ight…
After Battousai picked himself off the floor from laughing, he said bluntly, You're lying. Now tell us- why did you react that way?
[W-what way, de gozaru ka?] Rurouni said, with the best blank rurouni face he had ever put on.
Yes… tell us…
[I… that is… er… sessha… sessha…]
You love her, don't you?
[Who degozaru ka?]
Stop acting so innocent. You forget we're all still part of the same man, do gozaru. You love Kaoru-dono.
"Uh… Kenshin?"
"Oro, yes Yahiko?" Apparently the boy had been trying to get his attention for a while because he was giving Kenshin a very strange look.
"Are you ok?"
Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?
"Er, yes Yahiko, sessha is fine. Are you ok?"
"More fine than you." Yahiko said under his breath.
"Oro!" Kenshin opened his mouth to say more, but suddenly Sano's voice rang out.
"All hands on deck!" Kenshin stood up and the two men looked at each other- their eyes meeting in the dark. Kenshin tightened his hold on his sakabatou.
"Yahiko," he said tersely, "I have faith in you. I, however, want to ensure your safety. If at any time the fighting gets too dang-er, intense, I want you to call me, because not only will I never forgive myself, but more importantly, Kaoru never will either." In the heat of the moment, Kenshin didn't even realize that slip and the implication of his words.
Yahiko looked slightly surprised at the gravity of Kenshin's voice- and what he had said, but wisely said nothing about them "Yes, I promise." Was all he said, a bit too disturbed to sass Kenshin or act cocky.
Kenshin had little more time than to pat the boy on the back, before whirling around to meet his first opponent.
Crash/Clack
Kaoru maneuvered around Rui, then tried to sweep his feet from under him. She mostly succeeded, but he got a hold of her, and they fell down in a tumble of limbs. Kaoru fell awkwardly, and cried out in surprise and some pain. She cradled her wrist, and found herself firmly settled on Rui's lap. His strong hands took hold of each of her own.
"I'm so sorry Kaoru-chan. Let me see it." He paused. "Do you mind?"
She shook her head mutely. He stroked the skin of her arm gently, then pressed around the bruise that had already formed. "Was that from just now?" He asked.
"N-no, that was from training at another dojo a few days ago."
"Was it one of my students?" He asked a dark note in his voice.
Kaoru shook her head, watching the play of emotions on his face in fascination.
"Good." He brushed a light kiss against her wrist. "Because I do hate punishing them."
Kaoru jumped slightly unused to the attentions being given to such sensitive skin, much less such attentions in general. Rui, however, didn't notice. "Did I hurt you?" He didn't wait for an answer. "It's not sprained, but you fell on it pretty heavily. You should probably wrap or ice it. If you wish, you could go see your friend Megumi-san." But his actions belied his words, and he unobtrusively settled an arm loosely about her waist. Kaoru noticed, however, and moved to stand. Somehow, Rui was already up and giving her a hand.
"Why don't we get your wrist wrapped up? Just in case?" He suggested easily.
"Ok…"
As they walked out of the dojo together, Rui put an arm about Kaoru.
"Mou, Rui-kun, I'm not that injured. And it's my wrist, not my ankle."
"Indulge me." He said with a smile, and then added, "And it's just an excuse to help you." He dropped a quick kiss on her lips, and kept walking with a completely stunned Kaoru at his side. When she recovered, she turned beet red, annoyed at herself and her embarrassment.
"What are you doing? What if somebody had seen?"
"They didn't, and it would have been ok." Rui said calmly. "Look, nobody's around. You know I wouldn't do anything to endanger your reputation, Kaoru-chan. Ah, here we are."
They looked into the courtyard to see Ayame and Suzume playing with a brightly colored ball. They took one look at Kaoru and Rui, then ran inside, their young voices rising and falling with excitement. Seconds later, Dr. Genzai came out, being dragged a granddaughter tugging at each hand.
"What happened?" He asked, alarmed.
"Kaoru looked at the old doctor in surprise. "Something happened? What's wrong?" She asked quickly, troubled by his tone of voice.
"It's here too? With us?!" The doctor began to panic.
"No, no." Rui said quickly, realizing what the doctor was thinking and attempted to prevent the situation from escalating even more than it already had in a few minutes. "Kaoru and I were training, and I got a bit over zealous and she strained her wrist."
"Oh!" The doctor said, relieved, "You young people shouldn't worry me like that!" He scolded. "Now come with me."
Rui and Kaoru exchanged amused glances, while Ayame and Suzume, the distress they had caused easily forgotten scampered off to play a new game, as the amusement was over. The couple followed after Dr. Genzai trying to look repentant while trying to hold their laughter in. He led them into an empty room, grabbed some ointment and bandages and shoved both into Rui's hands. He herded Kaoru to the table.
"I'd think two seasoned swordsmen such as yourselves would know how to take care of such a happening." He said, still scolding gruffly, but Kaoru took it serenely, knowing in her heart that Dr. Genzai was gruff only because he was so grateful she was unharmed. He glanced at her wrist, then took it in his hands and tested the bones. "You'll be fine." He announced happily. "Just keep it wrapped for a few days, and no using it." He rapped Kaoru, then Rui on the head respectively. "And next time, be more careful. Just massage the ointment on," He said to Rui. "Now, I have to go. I left a patient in the middle of an examination."
Kaoru didn't trust herself to speak, while Rui choked out a polite "Thank you."
As soon as the door shut, they looked at each other and burst out laughing. When her giggles finally subsided, and Rui had applied the ointment and tied the bandage tight, Kaoru admonished him merrily.
"Look at all the trouble you caused!"
"Well, you're the only who wanted to spar!" He protested playfully.
"Mou- you broke the rules! There are no holds in sparring."
Rui grinned. "Well, it's the only way I could figure to take you down. I know your moves too well, and that's the only opening you have." He grinned mischievously. "You didn't think I watched you train and teach just to watch you, did you?"
Kaoru blushed and pushed his shoulder playfully, not noticing how close he had gotten.
AN: I decided to end that chapter there. What do you think?
Thank you all for bearing with me. For all of you who review, my heartfelt gratitude. I write because I enjoy it, but I have to admit, during hard times, all of you are amazingly encouraging. I read all the reviews, each and every one, carefully, and multiple times. Though my responses may seem trite, believe me, every single one is equally important to me, and I'm so grateful to you for supporting me in such a tangible way. [I know some of your pennames have been changed, but I had these written out long before made the changes, so I hope you'll forgive me for using your old names.]
Jason M. Lee- ;; E-heh heh... er, well, it's not really that important if it's the monk or not, and I needed a name, and I wanted to try to keep it relatively RK. (And, he's a cool guy, and good for a general character image, I think)
LSR-7 - Thanks for the birthday wish (on my birthday!) and the kind review. =) I'm glad you like this story.
marstanuki- Well, "Complicated Love" hasn't been on my mind much all, I'll admit. . What I'm planning on doing, is finishing up this story, and I have one or two stories playing about in my head. But I promise "Complicated" will get finished- but I'm going to do some heavy editing to it. If you have any more questions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them in an e-mail.
lizzie- I'm glad you liked how I'm portraying Kenshin. Sorry that Rui is getting on your nerves. I think I finally found/decided what I want to do about him. :-D
Jen- I hope this chapter was posted soon enough for you. Thanks for the review!
Brownilocs- (Actually, the birthday wish was right on time. Thanks) Actually, at this point, anything can still happen to the guys. But, I'll just say, I've never considered myself much of an action or adventure writer.
MightyMightyMunson- :-P Thanks for all the serenading and such of "Happy Birthday" they were beautifully rendered. grin Glad you like my random angst.
Polka Dot- Haha, that is very tempting... and the guys can be annoying, but I guess we'll have to see.
Chikai Tenshi- Short and sweet. Thanks for your input.
april-moon- Rui is pretty wonderful, isn't he? sigh If only he was real...
Ayame- True, the characters in the actual RK anime are quite restrained, so I did take some liberties. Forgive me.
ranma1517730129- Scurvey men! Yes! LOL. Oo, I'd never even thought of Kenshin swimming off... :-D Your review made me laugh. . Yeah, I really need to read my chapters more carefully. :-X Or find myself a beta reader. Or something. I hope my mistakes don't detract from my chapters too much. Thanks so much for the review and your support.
Eikou- Well, how could I not update after a review like that? sweatdrop - j/k, Thanks for the encouragement.
Daughter of Magic3- Thanks so much for reviewing more than one chapter! I was thrilled. I'm so flattered that you find unique aspects of this story. Thank you for reading this story and all your compliments. bows
Azura Dea- Megumi is a tricky woman, isn't she? sigh I do hope she doesn't mess things up too much...
swtrkgurlz- Hm... well, I do think Rui is fond of Kaoru, and I'll have to leave it at that. Thank you for the nice review!
Icegal- Thanks a bunch for reviewing. It made me very happy. =)
Ame Tenshi- Grin it's ok you didn't know I existed earlier. I have a sporratic place on best. I like your penname. Thanks for supporting me.
Starlyn- Thank you for the review. :-D
Shadow Wraith- I'm so glad you appreciate the fluffy-ness of the story! I actually work really hard at keeping it so, and sometimes wonder if I should just completely change the tone. . It makes me feel like my writing just isn't as good a caliber as some other stories for being so light hearted. hugs You encouraged me so much! (And about Rui, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out to me).
genocide ex-syncin- Thank you so much for the review and the birthday wish. I always love hearing from you.
missaw- Thank you for taking the time to review! Incidentally, I think your penname is quite unique, and I like it.
Momori- (I think your review got cut off?) sad As to not reviewing the other chapters, shrug it happens, neh? =) But thanks for taking the time to review that one.
Lilfrozenfire-pout Threats? nemo is sad. Thanks for the birthday shoutout. Kenshin's personalities are quite extreme, aren't they? Though I must admit I'm having fun with them. I hope this chapter was uploaded soon enough for you.
Kitty- Thanks for your enthusiasm about this story. It was really encouraging.
AnimeKrazy- =) Wow, isn't it always nice when you find other people that agree with you? Thanks for sharing that. I'm so glad you like Kenshin's 3-D personality. It seems to be the most controversial issue in this little ficlet.
Eviljinxypoo- I apologize for how long the relationships are taking, but I suppose that's the only thing I'm keeping true to the actual series, so please forgive that eccentricity. O=) Thanks for taking the time to review.
Mika blue eyes- Thanks for the review. I'm glad you liked the previous chapter, or found it interesting, at least.
Trisha-chan- Thanks for the support!
AngelsExist- I completely understand how easy it is to miss something on Thanks for rejoining me. :-D
Hecate- Thanks for the "happy birthday" and the virtual shish-kebob if only I could have had a bar-b-q also. The way I see it, Battousai is only violent when he has to fight- and he hasn't for a while. And during his 10 period of "rest and retrospection" not only did he have the chance to mature, but also mellow out a little. But, I will admit he is rather ooc. I'm glad that you also see him as more than a cold hearted killer.
Kikirio-dono2- (Um, "Ohyis"? I'm slow… :-) Heh, though I do like Sou-chan a lot, I am willing to surrender him to you. blushes You think my story is smark. :-P Thank you. Haha, nice review. Quite unique. Typing quickly is a skill. Definitely. Thanks for your encouragement and review!
Lanny-chan- I really liked your enthusiastic review. Wow, I'm impressed and touched by how much you like this story. (And yes, "Finding Nemo" was a cute movie.)
ruri eino- ;; I didn't take a year to update this- (though I can't claim the same for some of my other stories.) But I so hope this is soon enough. Thanks for your eagerness and your enthusiasm.
Tears of Amethyst- I like the comparison of the personalities with the cartoon conscience. =) Thanks for sharing it with me. Hm... I'll check on the plot of chpt 10- I'm glad you pointed that out.
Shojin Takaru- Thank you for the review- I did manage to skim a little of your story, and I'll be sure to really check it out as soon as I have time. Thanks for your continual support. I truly appreciate it.
AaarikaaA- Thanks a lot for the review. You remind me of myself. I hope you liked this chapter.
myvan- :-D I'm honored that you like this story so much. Wow. (er, scrubbing shoes?) I do believe tea cakes exist... I know there are little sweet things made of some sort of flour etc to be eaten while drinking tea... but I may be mistaken. shrugs Please correct me if I'm wrong and I'd love to learn what they actually are. And yes, I've seen poor Tasuki get beat up by the evil Tamahome. Those few episodes were great.
chris- Good point- Kenshin and Kaoru need to be put together and forced to talk. You're absolutely right. Thank you for taking the time to review.
Sinnymun- :-P I find angst (when I write it, depresses me.) O=) sorry. "Prom" and "Complicated Love" are more angsty, but right now I'm focusing more on this story. I hope you liked this story, and that you stick with it. Thanks for reviewing, and I do hope you found your angsty fic!
...a... reviewer...- I like your "name." I hope this update was soon enough!
Mitchy- gives cookie- and a new chapter Thanks for making me a favorite! I'm honored! blushes
donna8157- Thank you for the support! =)
Aryanne2- OO Thanks so much for putting me on both your favorites lists! bows I'm so thrilled!! hugs I've definitely not given up on this story yet- I'll stick with it till the very end. I'm so glad you like the way I gave Kenshin a mental disorder.
lieveit1- :-X I do have a bad way of writing. Sorry. I'm all convoluted and wordy. . I need to work on that. I don't know if you've noticed, but I have made Kenshin's personalities speak in different types of text. Kenshin "speaks" (or thinks) in bold, Battousai in "" and the rurouni in "[]." =) I'm so pleased you think this story is original. I really try to make the chapters respectably long, which also contributes to the lengthy update periods. Thanks for bearing with me.
skie levanter- Thanks so much for your enthusiastic review, and for taking the time to read and review my story.
Totally Wicked- gasp I've never met anyone who has the same birthday as me! Well, lol, I haven't met you, but you know. Sorry about the R/K/B thoughts being confusing- hopefully that's getting better.
Crystal Lily- Isn't it all strange and frustrating? :-X Sometimes, it seems like this story writes itself, but hopefully everything will be wrapped up soon! Thanks for reading, and hopefully the next few chapters can and will answer your questions!
iminyourmind- Thanks. Heh, and what an interesting penname. I approve.
Innocence8- Yeah, I made the Rurouni the bad guy in this story- I was just taken with the idea. Sorry he's so frustrating!
Indygodusk- Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like Kenshin's schizophrenia. As to your review, however... :- well I'm stupid and I didn't really understand. The long spacing out periods are annoying as in... the length of time it takes me to post? Er? Here: "The long spacing out periods are a bit annoying though, because it seems odd and why didnt he do it before? ie Kaoru is concerned." - that is, Kaoru is concered? :-X Anyway, I'm glad you like, my writing style. I'm never sure about it...
whisper2imaginary2- I really like your pen name! lol- and it was a cute review. Thanks for making me smile! Yay! claps hands I'm so glad you've got an interest in this story- and I'll get right on adding you to my list!
Rishtalak- laughs Sorry for giving you a headache. hands over tylenol and a cookie (Because who doesn't love cookies?) But I'm really glad you're reading this, and even more glad you reviewed! Thank you!
moonseeker- :-D Thank you for the review! hugs It was very encouraging.
Mimi- Hm- I reposted all my chapters, so hopefully I fixed up some things, but if you see mistake, please point them out to me! I'm horrid at grammar, and editing. I'll seriously consider not letting Kenshin drown- but to be honest, I'd be terribly sad too.
miko-no-hikari- :-X Sad that you forgot this, but good that you re-found it! :-D Well, hopefully all that you said will happen soon! This chapter may explain a little... And I hope to be updating more regularly now…
Chibi Binasu-chan- Heh ., sorry for the false alarm, but here's the new chapter now! I hope you liked it!
