Soo here is the second chapter !
Hope you enjoy , as things will be going down soon ;).
Rurouni Kenshin does not belong to me , this Is purely my imagination.
2. The Beginning
Yumi was impressed , to say the least .
Aside from the many maids that came to take all their belongings , she could also see that this inn was bigger in rooms , hot springs and surroundings . The carriage was taken in another compartment near the entrance , and as Yumi could see other workers had the duty to take care for this part.
Turning around she could see a rather cheerful young man talking to Shishio .
" I am glad to see your trip was safe Lord Shishio "
" Hmm , I see that this place has been managed well Kamishiro "
The so called man just broadened his smile more , bowing to him " Of course , only the best for you I can assure , I have even prepared parts in the inn that will be only in your personal use , rooms , dinning place as well as the outer back hot springs , only for your individual service "
Shishio grinned , seeming pleased he came forward to take Yumi by his hand and giving to her a look before turning the attention again to the inn's owner yet again.
" Oh my , you didn't tell me Lord Shishio , what an exquisite beauty she is … "
Shishio's bloody eyes glimmed " Just don't get any idea …"
" I wouldn't dear my lord , any woman in your company is off limits …."
" Good…"
Yumi who strangely enough had lost her voice just heard the comments concerning her.
" The reputation she has does her justice indeed …"
" Enough talk , she isn't a courtesan anymore , so show us our rooms before I make a murdering scene in front of your little nice business "
Terrified , Kamishiro just bowed his head in terror " Please I mean no harm my sir , of course … please this way…."
Yumi still felt the hand of Shishio pressed against her palm . Looking to his direction he was looking dead serious , no expression what so ever , but she herself allowed a small smile grace her face.
Sometimes she really had a hard time understanding this new man in her life …. But still it made her feel safe … something she had not had since forever.
The ironical part was that because of this man , she had been in that kind of situation …. True murdering her family , you would think Yumi Komagata was a crazy woman , thinking of how she wanted to gain Shishio Makoto's feelings , but she also knew ….
Those words….
" If you are strong you live , if you are weak you die …. This is the absolute law of this world"
Yumi knew that in that moment , she was no challenge for him . She could have tried killing him … What would she gain ? Being killed brutally .
But still , the hitokiri had been also her salvation from Yoshiwara . If he had wanted he could have let her in that hellish place , not caring of compensating her at all. After all since when Shishio Makoto had cared for whom he killed or not ?
And then … The part when she had heard those so much kind words from his strong voice … it had made her heart race like crazy… No man ever had had any impact on her , with sole words only.
" No … not the name for which you were a courtesan …The name by which you are a Woman "
Closing her gem like eyes and smiling again to herself she had been happy , a man , had said that she was a woman ! A human being ! She mattered .
And then , that sudden kiss….
Her thoughts were immediately interrupted by a sound of a door opening showing her to a huge room , beautifully adorned .
The inn master could only smile at the couple showing the way to enter in as explained
" This is the biggest room in the house , it is made in Japanese basics since you ordered your preference over traditional style , the showering room still is more of a modern style since is more relaxing and practical , you will find all facilities inside ….
Moving to open more the windows Shishio and Yumi were presented with a wonderful scenery , with welcomed all the warm light inside the large room. The sun rays touched the tatami giving its usual warm brown color a golden complex.
" Also all the meals will be served as you please in this room , for you and your other men in their individual placing , drinks for you like , Foreign or Japanese , each style you most wish for . A tray of fresh bandages will be in your use , shall I send a girl to do this ? "
" It does not matter , I can do it myself , as for the bed ? You told me that eastern ones were out of order around here ? " while asking Shishio never lost his hand on Yumi's looking around each part of the room.
Shaking his hands nervously Kamishiro only replied courtly " My lord , you yourself asked for a traditional based room , we usually don't take these kinds of furniture for our inn , is the futon out of discussion ? "
Letting Yumi he sat on the cushions near the window seat giving the man full facial expression he just shook his head " No it's alright , you have done fine , you may leave my sight for now " before turning full attention on the forest sight .
" Please do ask for anything , My Lord , My Lady … I shall take my leave …"
The door was closed immediately leaving the hitokiri and the ex oiran in full dead silence .
Since Shishio has started his secret silenced thoughts again , Yumi decided to give a full tour to the room she would be staying a week . It was very comfortable , luxurious in its own means , but nether less beautiful and neat . Seeing as their personal belongings had already put in their places , she passed through a door on the other side of the room . The large wooden door , which surprised her a bit , being used with usual Japanese style , revealed a very large and bright bathroom .
A large light pink marble mirror invaded the biggest part of the facial wall , the mirror itself was kilometric , showing all corners of the bathroom . Different brushes , toils , shampoos with exotics colors , creams and other sanitarian facilities held their places in each crystal shelf.
In front of the mirror a same large white bathtub rested in the glassy space. Yumi knew these type of things existed , still she found them a bit uncomfortable , she always thought of them as a suffocating hot spring container . Even the watering process was different , with a simple mechanism you could save as much hot water as you desired .
Taking a deep breath she felt the aroma of white camellias and lavender invade her nostrils . It felt so much like an old perfume she had used , years ago when she was still a teenager.
" Liking the place ?"
Turning her back she felt Shishio's fiery gaze looking down upon here . He had something in mind.
" It is a very nice place , I thank you for taking me with you "
Before she could bow her head his gloved hand took her chin softly , so they glances would crash
Just a few millimeters away , he could feel her beginning agitated breath touching his warm skin , seeing her a bit parted red lips inhaling each second passing .
" I told you , I would keep you with me in each moment passing , you shall never leave my side …"
Before Yumi could have her say , Shishio's burning lips kissed her with so much passion she thought she was going to burst . It wasn't like the usual kind kissed he had given since the first one . It screamed need and passion and she could not help but to give herself more into that kiss.
Feeling his tongue invading her space she crashed her , showing that he was not the always to command , showing that she needed this , she wanted this…
Yumi felt Shishio's hand warming inside her naked shoulders down the back . Feeling her legs as delicate as jelly , she moaned inside his mouth closing her eyes in pleasure .
Shishio could not help but chuckle a bit breaking the kiss.
" What is it …"
Shishio was taken by the question " What is what ?"
Moving away surprising Shishio and herself too Yumi flashed as she asked again " Why is there to laugh about ?"
" Ha , you are dying to have me , is that , I have never heard your pleasuring screams until now , so it was a first for me , and just for a kiss…"
That smudging bastard !
" You were the one kissing me ! How dare you …"
" Yes I dare , you are dying to have me inside …"
Yumi just glared harder " You bastard….i think it is the total opposite reading the way you couldn't keep your hands to yourself ! "
" I bet you were done before we even started …"
" AGH ! I shall …"
Taking her in a strong embrace he only smirked more " What Yumi … what shall you do …"
" What the hell you want from me ?!"
" Me ? Nothing ?"
Yumi just sounded more desperate " Than why are you confusing me ?"
" You were the one who ruined the mood !"
Moving away from him she faced him fiercely " At least , I am not ruining everything ! After all you were the one you said you would never sleep with a woman you had paid for "
With these words she left the room , leaving a more confused than ever Shishio.
"Women"
