"You've got to come at me faster, "Hiko growled out.

Kenshin grunted, barring his fangs.

"You're going to die if you can't get me. Hurry up!"

"I'm trying you bastard! And why the fuck would I be hunting mortal anyway? I thought we had a deal with them. We don't attack them they wont kill us."

"You don't get it do you? Have you ever seen any other vampires besides us? NO! Were going to die off if you don't mate-"

"Hey! Why me?! Can't you do it you old son of a- OW!"

"Don't you ever interrupt me. As I was saying, there are only two of us left. We have enemies and were bound to get killed. Well become extinct like those good for nothing trolls." Hiko was mad blew a punch right into Kenshin stomach accidently.

"Are you done?" Kenshin asked as he held his stomach in pain.

"Yes."

"Well dammit answer my question! WHY ME?!" He was getting sick of the old mans game.

Hiko slapped him. "Don't ever talk to me in that tone. And besides I have better things to do."

"Don't give me that bull Hiko. All you do is sit on your ass and get drunk all day."

"See. You know my schedule. I'm busy."

"Asshole," he muttered under his breath.

"Well, if you don't want to mate or anything, I guess you'll just be alone and an outcast in society…."

"Okay, gosh. I'll do it. I hate it when you get like that. I'll start tomorrow. Whatever gets you to shut the he-OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"Don't you ever talk to me like that baka deshi."

"Okay sir. Now while I'm being nice, do you want me to clean your dojo then kiss your ass?"

"Yeah. Maybe later. But cleaning my dojo sounds nice now."

Kenshin sighed.

The next night….

Kaoru was at a club.

"Can I get a martini?"

"Sure, Sweetie," the bartender said, eyeing her hungrily.

She was wearing a light purple dress that stopped at her thighs. The dress was spaghetti strapped and had a low cut in the front.

She sat on a barstool waiting for a drink. She ran her fingers over the granite bar lazily, while resting her head on her other hand. She was beginning to like the new place until people started breathing down her neck.

Kenshin started analyzing woman's minds to see which was right for him. 'Woman on the left, sex. One staring at me bi. The one on the right…um don't wanna think about it.

Okay. I can't do this. He was heading towards the exit, and then his eye caught something he couldn't resist. He was stuck in one place staring at her.

Her drank came back and she paid the bartender. He winked at her and said, "Its on the house."

"Um, thanks."

He kept eyeing her while he when to get other drinks. She looked down. Guys were standing behind her just staring. The crowd around her made her uneasy. This was her first time at this club and she thought they were waiting for her to move. She moved, but their eyes followed her to the stool at the table she sat at. She turned around nervously and spoke to them.

"Um… may I help you?"

Quickly, the confident, sure of themselves, sly faces vanished into cold sweats and looking to their feet and they dispersed.

She turned back around slowly feeling that this was her last time at this club. It was weird. She felt another set of eyes bore into her back. She didn't bother to turn around.

Kenshin walked towards her and took a seat on the seat across from her. She looked up a little then went back to stirring her drink with her finger. She stuck the finger that used to stir the drink in her mouth. He licked his lips and wished he could be that finger.

"Hey," he began.

She looked up a little and realized he was talking to her. "Hi," she practically whispered.

He stared at her lips as she licked them. He felt himself grow, but did his best to control himself. The blush in her cheeks and the thick eyelashes that surrounded the sapphire eyes made her adorable.

"I'm Kenshin," he said as he took her hand and kissed it. His warm lips made her shutter a little.

"I-I'm Kaoru." She hated it when she stuttered and mentally cursed to herself. His golden eyes still burrowing into hers made her face heat up.

"No need to be embarrassed."

"O-okay… I have a question."

"Ask away."

"Are your eyes and hair a natural colour?"

"Yeah. May I ask question now? Actually two."

"Sure…"

"Are you naturally this pretty?"

She blushed.

"Are you single?"

She blushed deeper.

"I'll take that as a yes. When will you be here again?"

"I doubt I'll be coming back. I don't like it here that much. Guys are weird here."

He smirked.

"So this must be your first time here?"

"Yeah. It was suggested to me by a friend."

"Well, I want to see you again. Do you want to meet up somewhere…"

"Yeah. How about the park at nine?"

"Sure."

She slipped him a sheet of paper. Suspecting it was her number, he took it.

He kept eyeing her up and down but she didn't notice. He was interrupted when his phone started vibrating.

He looked at the caller ID. Hiko… he sighed.

"I've got to go," he said as he stood up and began to walk away. Then he turned around and said, "You look gorgeous in that dress. It compliments your eyes beautifully."

She blushed and her eyes watched him as he left. Her eyes drifted lower and then stopped at his butt.

'Oh. My. Gosh, he has a perfect ass. Dammit.'

He smirked to himself.

Later that night…

Kaoru's phone rang waking her up from her dream.

"Hello," she yawned into the phone.

"So… HOW WAS IT?"

Misao… an overly hyper Misao past twelve who probably had caffeine or something.

"It was terrible."

"Terrible… what happened?"

"People kept staring at me and I think the bartender was hitting on me. And then this freakishly hot guy came and talked to me and I stuttered and kept blushing."

"So did the guy leave when you started stuttering?"

"No. it was just embarrassing. He kept complimenting me and he had gorgeous eyes. I don't think he really cared about the flaws though. We have a date tomorrow."

"SERIOUSLY!? I am happy for you. We'll talk more tomorrow. You sound tired."

"Okay." After that, she heard the other line go dead.

She put the phone down and settled back into bed.

The phone rang again. She picked up thinking it was Misao.

"Misao, I thought you said we could talk tomorrow."

"It's not Misao," said a deep voice on the other line.

Her breath caught in her throat. "Matthew…"

"Missed me," he smirked over the phone.

She quickly hung up and threw the phone into the front room.

She tried to sleep, but his voice haunted her now.

Kenshin walked into Hiko's office and put a jug of sake down on the table.

"I can't believe you work practically drunk. I hope you do know I was busy."

"Yeah, trying to get laid before you find someone to mate with you."

"No I wasn't. I found a perfect girl. You probably won't see her though. I would want to scar her for life."

"I don't care. Do whatever you want. In the end, all I want is more of us."

Kenshin sighed then walked away. "If you need me, I'll be at home."
