Ambush
by misaoshiru

She crouched behind the dojo gates, waiting eagerly for her target. Her senses were hyper-alert; in the time she'd spent with Kenshin, he had taught her the basics of ki-sensing, and she sought his now. A barely tangible glimmer met her senses - about fifty meters away, getting closer - and she couldn't hold back a grin.

This was the part of the hunt that she tired of the fastest: the waiting. There were times when she could almost swear that Kenshin must be stopping to smell each flower and talk to each stranger along the way. But finally, her patience was rewarded.

The gate swung open, and before her husband had a chance to fully enter the grounds, Kaoru had him pinned to the wall. He yelped a quick "oro," but she cut him off, pressing her lips against his – softly at first, but with rapidly increasing vigor.

Kenshin looked startled at first but then responded in kind, and the two shared one of the most sensual kisses in their marriage thus far. Finally, they broke it off, both of them panting. "I'm home," Kenshin said weakly, breathlessly.

Kaoru smiled, beckoning him further inside. "Where you are always welcome."

The fluff! It burns! Okay, done with the dramatics now... Written as an incredibly late birthday present for Mi-chan (Super Sheba) - sorry it took me so long! XD
