I was gonna leave this deleted but...I dunno. This pairing needs some more love. So yeah.

KenIchi: the Mightiest Disciple (c) Syun Matsuena

Kenichi peacefully cooked the dinner for the residence of the doujo. He was deep in thought. Though what he was thinking about was always a mystery. He sighed to himself and looked up, leaning against the counter.

"Kenichi..." a deep and loving voice said just before strong arms wrapped around his waist. His eyes slid closed and he smiled. Takeda knew better than to just grab Kenichi without him knowing, he had made that mistake only once before and he ended up paying for the damages caused by Kenichi's reflexes.

Takeda held Kenichi close and put his nose to Kenichi's neck, taking in the brunette's scent. He loved being able to hold his lover so tightly and so close. "You smell delicious..." he purred. Kenichi rolled his head to the side and revealed a smooth pale neck to Takeda. Takeda pressed his lips to it and smiled. "You are so beautiful," he said. Kenichi smiled and turned around to face Takeda.

"Just a little horny today?"

Takeda smirked and kissed Kenichi's forehead. "Maybe just a little bit..."

Kenichi smirked again and hooked his fingers around two of Takeda's belt loops. "Did I ever mention you're pretty sexy when you're horny?"

Takeda thought for a moment and smiled again, letting out a breath of a laugh. He grazed his lips over Kenichi's and spoke. "No, you did not. But I like the sound of it. Say it again..."

Kenichi chuckled and put his arms on Takeda's shoulders, locking them around his neck. "You're so sexy when you're horny," he purred.

Takeda laughed and kissed the smaller boy.

His lips moved against Takeda's in a skillful motion as their tongues danced. Kenichi's long and slender fingers ghosted over Takeda's cheek as the other hand got lost in his soft hair. The sparks that were there even when they first kissed ignited and exploded at the touch. Their bodies molded together like puzzle pieces, the room getting even a few degrees hotter...

"Eh-hem," someone cleared their throat.

Takeda and Kenichi ripped away from each other and looked at the visitor in the doorway. Sakaki smirked and looked at the pot on the stove. "It'll burn." Kenichi turned around and cursed, turning off the stove in hopes to save what was left of his dinner.

Takeda laughed a little though he did feel sympathy for the boy. Knowing Appachai, he would be sad if Kenichi had burned the dinner. The boxer looked up when Sakaki made a noise and cocked his head outside. Taking the hint Takeda followed the considerably larger man outside.

They walked across the grass yard. It was quiet and Appachai never wanted to train on that side, something about it being too quiet. They were completely alone and out of Kenichi's ear shot. Takeda looked through the open door where Kenichi was busily preparing the food to everyone's liking. He had invited Takeda and Kenichi's sister had invited herself. Not that any of the masters minded, they quite enjoyed the little girl's company.

"Kenichi's a good kid..." Sakaki said suddenly.

Takeda looked up at the larger man, confused. "What?"

"He's a good kid, and don't get me wrong, I'm happy for him. But I've worked with Kenichi for a while now and he's grown. But he's still soft."

The boxer rubbed his neck and shrugged. "Where's this going?"

Sakaki took a drink of his sake and knelt down in front of the other man. His face was fierce, as usual. But there was something in it...something Takeda had not seen before. "He's grown on everyone in this doujo, and his dad's quite the protective one. I'm just saying that if you screw up, Hell's coming your way."
