"Talking"

'Thoughts'

Summary: Misao and Aoshi come to Tokyo to visit the Kamiya dojo. Kenshin and Aoshi hear Misao and Kaoru in the other room and get the wrong idea. They decide they want some attention too. You can never tell what's going on behind closed doors. Aoshi/Misao and Kenshin/Kaoru.

Author's Note: I tried to make everyone's dialogue as easy to understand as possible.

Behind Closed Doors

Aoshi walked at a steady pace behind the short weasel girl hopping cheerfully down the road ahead of him. Misao wanted to come to Tokyo to visit the Kamiya dojo.

Aoshi let it seem as though Okina had convinced him to accompany her, but in truth, he would have come with her anyway. After all, no one can command him, he did whatever he wanted, which usually consisted of drinking tea and meditating, but he could make exceptions.

"Hurry up Aoshi-sama! We're almost to Kaoru and Himura's place." She chirped increasing her pace, the late morning sunlight making her glow.

~xXx~

"Misao-dono and Aoshi-san should be here today, should they not?" Kenshin asked Kaoru from the kitchen.

"Yeah, they should be arriving at the gate pretty soon." Kaoru smiled at her beloved redheaded housemate.

"Do you plan to spend a lot of time with Misao-dono?"

"Yes, we have a lot of catching up to do." Kaoru smiled to herself, thinking of the young ninja girl.

"What do you two plan on doing while you do that?"

"I don't know." Kaoru put a hand under her chin, thinking. She didn't have much time to do so because she heard a female voice call from the front yard.

"Hey, anyone there?!"

"Oh, that must be them.I'd recognize Misao's energetic yelling anywhere." Kaoru smiled.

Kenshin and Kaoru walked down the hall to the porch and went over to the gate to find a cheerful looking Misao and an indifferent looking Aoshi behind her.

"Well, it doesn't look like anything spectacular happened on the way." Kaoru mused dryly noting the space between them and their usual behavior.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Misao said suspiciously, playfully glaring at her.

"Nothing. How was your trip?" Kaoru said quickly, hugging the younger girl.

"Tiring, I think we should rest a little. I wanted to talk to you for a while."

"Yeah, me too. You don't seem that tired, though." Kaoru smiled knowingly.

Kenshin and Aoshi watched the two women converse, observing how happy they seemed when talking with each other. They both thought, 'Does she ever get that excited when she talks to me?'

Kenshin broke from the thought and smiled, Aoshi turned his emotionless green-grey eyes to him. "It's nice to see you, Aoshi-san."

"Battosai." He nodded back politely.

"I was looking forward to having tea with you. I have it set up in one of the rooms, if you would like to join me."

"I will accept your offer." Aoshi said and the two men walked off, leaving the two women by themselves.

Misao looked at Kaoru and grinned, "What do you have in mind?"

"I figured you would be a little tired from your travel, so I was going to try something that I think will help you relax." Kaoru motioned for the other girl to follow her to her room. She shut the shoji behind them once Misao was inside.

"So, how're things with you and Himura?" Misao asked sitting down on the floor.

"There are no 'things' to speak of. What about you and Aoshi-san?"

Misao rolled her eye and gave Kaoru a look that said 'You honestly think I would be acting like this if anything happened?'

"He's just too dense to understand, but don't worry you'll get a chance. I don't know when, but it will be soon." Kaoru dropped to her knees behind the petite girl, and patted her on her back with a smile.

"Is that so?" Misao said dully.

"Yes. Yes it is… now lean forward some." Kaoru said and put a hand on Misao's shoulders.

"You know, I'll try to hold a conversation with him, hoping he'll actually say something, but he only nods and sips his tea. It's so frustrating!"

~xXx~

"It is… pleasant having tea with you Himura." Aoshi nodded indifferently as he sat wearing his usual yakata and sipping his tea.

"Thank you Aoshi-san." Kenshin smiled at him. "It's-"

"Oh!" Kenshin was cut off by a voice that sounded like Misao's coming from the room across from them, but decided to ignore it, since she always made noise. "Mmm…"

"That's the spot…"

"I will go to make sure she is uninjured." Aoshi said and Kenshin got up to follow him. What they heard when they got close to the shoji caught them off guard.

"Harder Kaoru!"

"If that's what you want, love."

"Go lower Kaoru, oh yeah…right there." They heard Misao's voice say through the thin barrier.

"I knew you would like it," Kaoru's confident and sexy reply reached their ears.

Kenshin and Aoshi's eyes widened and they moved away from the door as they looked at each other. Both thought, 'what the hell?!'

"Rub harder Kaoru." She repeated softly. "Right there."

The two men backed away from the door and tried to regain their sanity without being heard.

"What in God's name are they doing?" Kenshin whispered to a stunned Aoshi.

"Battosai, if I knew, we probably would not be standing here still." He mouthed, suddenly uncomfortable and unable to trust his voice to sound right in forming words.

Kenshin and Aoshi were both too preoccupied with their conversation to hear what Misao and Kaoru were actually doing.

"My shoulders were killing me after all that traveling. I needed a massage so badly."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I needed one too and I was glad you were coming, because I was hoping you could give me one."

~xXx~

"Maybe we misinterpreted and are jumping to conclusions." Aoshi said and they approached the door listening intently. 'God, I hope so...'

"Yeah, it's a good thing that Megumi showed me these new techniques. I never got to try them out on anyone before, so you're the first one."

'What, Megumi-dono is in on this too?!' Kenshin thought. 'And why would she let Misao-dono be her first.'

"Oh, it feels so good." Misao moaned out loud, and Aoshi's mouth went dry. Was his Misao doing what he thought she was? And with the Battosai's woman no less!

"Yeah, maybe you should try it on Aoshi-san. He'd probably like it a lot. I plan to try it on Kenshin later."

Aoshi went pale as wild thoughts filled his mind and Kenshin's face began to rival the color of his hair. They could not believe what they were hearing, yet they couldn't ignore it and their feet wouldn't let them walk away.

"Misao, it's my turn. Why should you get to have all the fun? Switch with me." Kenshin heard Kaoru whine cutely. He gritted his teeth refusing the urge to rip the shoji open, throw her over his shoulder and carry her off.

Misao moved out of the spot she was in and Kaoru sat down in her place as the younger girl began to rub her shoulders, both oblivious to the two mistaken men listening outside the door.

"Yeah you're right, it feels amazing." Kaoru sighed. "Megumi's more experienced so she's a little better. This is pretty good for your first time."

"Is that so?" Misao said dryly and massaged harder.

"Oh…it feels really good right there actually… don't stop.'

'Does Sano know about Megumi-dono having a part in this?!' Kenshin thought horrified.

"I wonder if Megumi ever does this for Sano. Wait… go back to where you were before. Ah, that feels so good."

"She probably does, that could be what keeps the rooster running back to the lady fox for more." Misao giggled and Kaoru smirked.

Both men outside the door raised an eyebrow at her comment and looked at each other to confirm that they were hearing correctly.

"Did she just say-" Aoshi began.

"Yep-" Kenshin answered, already knowing what he was going to ask.

"I doubt Aoshi-sama would ever try, but I don't think he would be able to make me feel as good as you can." Misao sighed, sounding disappointed.

Outside the door Aoshi raised an eyebrow and smirked unconsciously, 'My skills extend beyond swordsmanship Misao. I guess I'll have to give you a taste of what I can really do.'

"Yeah, I know. Same with Kenshin too, I mean, I've lived with him a while and we've never done anything like this."

'I never knew you wanted to, all you had to do was say the word, my love. I would've gladly shown you all the love you need.' He thought, his Battosai personality starting to come forth.

"I'm going in!" Kenshin fiercely whispered, unable to take anymore, as he made a fierce grab for the door. Aoshi quickly slapped his hand away, and Kenshin let out a grunted in response.

"What do you think will happen if you just run in on that?" He shook his head, also working hard to control himself.

Kenshin calmed down and knocked on the shoji trying to make his voice appear as normal as possible, "Kaoru-dono…Misao-dono, is everything alright in there? Do you need us to help with anything?"

"No, everything's just fine in here Kenshin." Kaoru called out, stifling a moan as Misao giggled, working out a knot in her neck. "I'm just spending some quality time with Misao."

"Alright then, call us if you need us." He all but growled in disappointment. He looked at Aoshi and they forced themselves to walk away from the door.

Both wanted to go in, grab their own girl and prove them wrong at how experienced they truly were. Little did they know, they were clearly the ones who were mistaken about what was truly going on.

"Hey Misao, you wouldn't mind giving me a foot massage now, would you?" Kaoru grinned playfully.

"Now you know that's not going to happen." Misao laughed shaking her head.

"It was worth a try."

~xXx~

Kaoru and Misao walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table giggling.

"Kaoru, that was amazing." Misao smiled looking at the older girl.

"Thanks love, you're not half bad yourself." Kaoru grinned.

"Not half bad?" Misao feigned hurt then laughed out loud. "I had you begging for more."

"You can just keep believing that, love."

"I will." Misao grinned.

Hey Kenshin, did your day with Aoshi-san go well?" She asked cheerfully turning to him.

"Yes, and I see you and Misao-dono had a fun afternoon." Kenshin asked without turning to face her.

"Yeah it was…relaxing. She has magical fingers" Kaoru turned to her and smiled.

'I can assure you mine are clearly more skilled than hers are.' His Battousai side thought with a smirk.

She was so deep in thought she didn't see Kenshin's eyes were no longer a soft violet, but were now a gorgeous molten amber.

"I want her, now." Kenshin growled lowly, eyes glued to Kaoru's figure as Aoshi walked in from a side hallway.

"We share the same feeling." He said to Kenshin as he looked over at Misao where she was conversing freely with Kaoru at the table. "We shall have our chance soon enough, Battosai."

"I know, Aoshi." Kenshin replied, his voice dropping an octave lower. Aoshi raised an eyebrow at this sudden change, but said nothing.

"And they won't see it coming." A dark smirk spread across Kenshin's handsome face and his eyes glittered with mischief.
