Flight
of the Wounded Dove
Chapter
Nine:
Plans
Kaoru
and Kenshin sat across from three of their closest friends as they
were grilled with questions. Kaoru was horrified and more than
a bit embarrassed about the whole situation and was surprised to see
that Kenshin was calm, cool and collected. Something had
changed him. Whether it was her leaving or her acceptance of
his proposal, she did not know. All she knew was that she loved
the man beside her with every bit of her heart.
“Oh,
Kaoru!” Tae squealed as she clutched Kaoru’s left
hand in both of hers. “This is so wonderful! Did I
not tell you everything would work out for you?!”
Kaoru
let her hand gently slip out of Tae’s grasp as the older woman
began to prattle on about wedding arrangements. What kind of
flowers there should be, the different kind of food she would make
for them, and of course, she would cater for free! She would
hear nothing of a fee.
Kenshin’s
right hand sought out her left, holding it lightly and stroking his
thumb over the back of her wrist in a comforting motion. He
could sense her unease with all the questions and Sano’s
occasional lewd comments. Kenshin minded none of it. He
could not think of any place he would rather be than beside his
lifemate. He was more at ease than he could ever remember
being. His life was nearly perfect. All that was left to
do was marry the woman he loved and consummate their marriage.
That would lead to offspring, and what more could he ask for?
“Kenshin!
It’s about damned time!” The ex-gangster grinned
slyly. “So,” he waggled his eyebrows, “Got
any plans for the wedding night?”
Kenshin
smiled confidently, “My friend, you have no idea.”
The
assembled party, with the exception of Tae (who was still going
on…and on…and on about the wedding
arrangements), face-faulted.
“Kenshin!”
Yahiko grumbled, “You shouldn’t say things like that!
You are going to give me a heart attack!”
“What?
Am I not allowed to be shocking?” The not-so Rurouni one
asked with an upraised eyebrow.
“No!
You’re supposed to be all shy and stuff.” The
adolescent countered.
“I
am sorry to surprise you, Yahiko, but I am just like any other man.
I am very much looking forward to my wedding night.”
Kaoru
thought she would die right there in the restaurant. Luckily,
the conversation was brought to a halt at the appearance of their
waiter.
“Oh,
look, the food is here!” Kaoru exclaimed followed by a
nervous laugh as she desperately tried to divert the attention away
from her impending wedding night.
Everyone
dug into the sushi and sashimi that had been beautifully prepared by
the inn-owner’s wife. Between mouthfuls of food, which
Tae would later get recipes for, she was asking questions about the
wedding.
“Have
you decided on a date?” She looked back and forth between
the newly affianced couple.
They
looked at each other and shrugged.
It
was Tae’s turn to face-fault. “WHAT?!?! Are
you insane?! You must decide on a date so that we can start
planning! Invitations will have to be drawn up. I will
have to begin preparations for the catering. You both must have
ceremonial kimonos! We will have to make arrangements for
the flowers months in advance!” She looked sternly
at the couple before her.
Kenshin
laughed out loud, and the assembled company, with the exception of
Kaoru, face-faulted.
“We
can set a date right now, if you would like, Mother Hen.”
His gaze found its way to Kaoru’s.
“What
about in July when the fireflies are out?” She asked in a
soft, shy tone.
Kenshin’s
expression transformed to one of incredible sweetness. He
nodded and softly acquiesced, “Hai, koishii, that would be a
wonderful time.”
The
couple was broken from their reverie by an impatient Tae, “What
day in July? July is not a date. I swear you two are so
v—“
“July
7th,” they answered in unison. For both knew the day that
the other had in mind. It was their first real 'lovers’
moment.
Yahiko
rolled his eyes, “Great. They’re already speaking
in unison. This is disgusting.” Sano and Tae both
smacked him in the head before returning googly eyes to the couple.
Yes,
even Sanosuke was caught up in the romance of the moment. He
could not help but imagine himself tying the knot with a certain foxy
doctor that was waiting for him in Tokyo.
TBC…
Author’s
Note: So, there it is: The long-awaited ninth chapter
of FotWD. *inhales deeply* Back to Tokyo in the next
chapter. Mayhap a confrontation between rooster and fox.
We’ll see how confident I am feeling. Maybe I’ve
kicked this writer’s block-ness.
