It was their first time, and Kaoru could scarcely breathe for the pure excitement of it all pressed down upon her chest, crushing her almost like a panic attack, except this attack was of love, not fear. As she thought about it, her heart swelled up like a balloon inside of her chest, threatening to burst open more and more with each passing second..

When Kenshin had come to her two days previous and kissed her, finally after all these years, she knew that making love to him would happen soon and passionately. And now, as Kenshin laid next to her, she still couldn't believe her luck. Why would this handsome, affectionate, kind, gentle man be interested in her? Only the dieties know, but Kaoru was certainly not about to question an act of fate.

He kissed her. His lips never left her body as he massaged her lips, then her neck, then her breasts. He slowly caressed her stomach with his hand, teasing her by almost dipping below. Kaoru clenched her eyes and hands to keep herself silent, but finally her delicate, strangled voice let a soft whimper of desire escape. At this, she felt Kenshin's heat drift away. She slowly opened one eye, then the other to see where her lover had gone.

Kenshin kneeled before her and, as she looked at him, he lightly kissed his hand and touched it to her cheek. "You know I love you, Kaoru."

Kaoru smiled softly as he neglected to say "-dono." She nodded and grasped his hand to her, "I love you too. I never want to be with anyone else. So long as I live, I love you."

Kenshin nodded silently and used his free hand to loosen his hakama and let his erect member be exposed.

Kaoru was breathless at the sight. Terror filled her eyes as she gazed upon this...this THING. My God, Kaoru thought, it even has an EYESOCKET. As she stared at it, it wiggled. Does it want to eat me or something? As it shook, she heard it softly say "Kaoru....come here. I won't hurt you."

"Kaoru, come here. I won't hurt you." Kenshin held his hand out to her. He wanted to assuage her obvious fear. After all, it was her first time. Kenshin, although not a playboy, had experienced enough women that he knew how to get them to ease into love-making.

Kaoru, however, had a different idea. She promptly started screaming and scrambled backwards on the futon to get away. She grabbed a robe and dashed out the door.

A scarce few minutes later, Kenshin found his beloved quivering behind Misao, peeking towards him from over her shoulder. "Kaoru-dono? What's the matter?"
Kaoru jabbed her finger into the air, pointing it the general direction of his groin, "I will NOT touch that!"

Kenshin smiled gently. Even aroused and slightly impatient, the rurouni always respected a woman (perhaps even moreso when he was aroused and slightly impatient). "Kaoru-dono..I promise you I won't hurt you. You'll love it." He bridged the gap between himself and her, reaching out his hand to touch her cheek."

Kaoru shook her head furiously, "Actually, I've decided that I'm gay – I love Misao now!" she smiled gently, as if her sudden decision were perfectly normal, "We can still be friends, of course."

Misao blinked, and Kenshin blinked back. They both looked at Kaoru, blinked again, and looked at each other, "Oroo.."
