Get extremely comfy, take a slow, relaxed breath, read with pleasure, and like I'll always say, review!! *Also just saying in case no one or you didn't hear, the second chapter was not complete I had complications. Well let's go on with the engrossing episode, show, movie, comic, or whatever. Here we go on the smooth gold road.

~~~ Rospis Tears

Let's continue where we left:

The village had a thin glint of resemblance, that's what Kaoru had admitted to herself but in the same strange, twisted path of undeciding turns it was distinct as well.

It digressed though in a delightful mark of pleasure, it wasn't different from just the marvelous appearance to the naked eye, but in the loose feeling of welcome and the sheepish grins and smirks they gave her. In her village just to show the contrast, people, villagers always looked forlorn, and beads of sweat always dripped from there soggy, pressed down, eyebrows.

And always you could hear their grunts of whipping pain, and struggled chugs, as their strong, tight muscles, thin veins plopped from their rusty, burnt flesh.

But here she had a sort of relaxation you could only receive from the cool atmosphere. She heard laughter, smooth laughter, which explicated happiness obviously. She almost couldn't stop from showing her ivory squared teeth into a smile.

"This is the village?" Kaoru questioned the hooded man, or whatever it was. "Yes" it formed from its lips without stagger or hesitation.

"Amazing." Kaoru whispered to herself as she swallowed a scent of air that was rosy and sweet. She could smell a dainty smell that almost wanted her to drool, but she smacked her lips in a tempting froth lick.

"Here, come." The hood pronounced moving pale, sturdy hands motioning her to come. Then when the sun blazed in the correct angle she saw a glitter. It came close to his fingertips, just right above a squared nail. Kaoru focused patiently to decipher the object or thing that was slight above his thick, bold fingers. Though the blazing sun's threads of fire merged making an extreme streak of blinding light.

Kaoru blinked, fluttering her dazed lapis eyes vigorously. She looked at the hooded creature and followed him obediently. There were huts, several that could not be counted, but these were draped in thick, scintillating silks that were woven by women.

He entered one that had a dark cerise, layered with a tangerine silk that shimmered if it moved even in the slightest at the wind, and last a glittering indigo. She entered in the hut.

It was as beautiful as she could imagine, and she could include organic. There by the side was a wood-craved, small table, and on top were a blanched porcelain dish that had exquisite thin blue marking, calligraphy, alright, and two small cups and a steady, little, teakettle.

Also thin, and corpulent cloths were laid on soft, luscious fleece, but this one was a thin slab, and was dyed a creamy sapphire. Probably this one was the area for the bed. It was also simple, but to Kaoru cozy enough.

Then Kaoru got a question she knew she should of asked long ago plop to her head. Her eyes turned to a mid-night blue, and the edges glittering silvery.

"Why did you steal me?" Kaoru said unyielding. "Not now." Was all it responded to the irritated and impersonal question. "Now." Kaoru replied to his careless actions, as she stamped her bare foot on the soothing fleece.

The hooded creature seemed a bit restless and she heard a rustle from under the hood. The hood again slapped at the back of the cloak and this time fortunately there was no suffering contact. She saw him, she saw him, and he had..

~~~

Her lazuli eyes beamed in astonishment. He was handsome, yet he seemed a bit forlorn. He had thick ruby hair and it was tied in a polished, rich brown leather belt in a high ponytail.

His gleaming ruby tendrils also framed his face beautifully and with a touch of soft plum but she detected a more shade of violet creaming his eyes.

Though he had a strange crimson mark on his fair skin, it was almost like resembling an "x." His eyelashes were thick and rich in softness and black and his bones were thick and sturdy, and her bones were slender and frail.

But right after she had a glimpse of his beauty her heart thumped freakishly, but yet she despised him there was no tunnel for love to get through. He took her away from her village and that would be in his record now and evermore.

But slowly she saw something, it was coming from his tendrils of red hair, it was on the top of his head, it was..

Ears! Did she actually see tiny yellowish pale ears that looked wolfish as well, plop at the top of his head? Kaoru blinked again being logical to see if she had some dab of water or food or something on her eyes making her see things, but she was correct the first time, it was ears!!

He steadily slid the whole gloomy cloak off, till it slid so smoothly like silk and she could see his real clothes. They were strange if he was male, the colors, but looked mighty, calm, and graceful on his figured body.

He had a pink shirt tucked in with a white skirt (don't know what you call it in Kenshin's episodes, the usual clothes, k.) Though the cross-shape scar stood out starkly on his fair skin.

Just then she saw the same strange glitter above his fingers, or were they? Kaoru focused harder, peering to see the mysterious sparkle more closely.

"There my nails." The being said with irritation etched thickly in his voice. Kaoru raised a thin eyebrow, "Nails?"

"Yes." The being replied in agreement. Kaoru still did not have all her questions fulfilled but slowly by slowly she will have them all answered, she knew.

"I'm half demon, okay?" The half-demon looked at Kaoru in an annoyed glare that seemed to seethe slowly. "Half-wolf." He said shortly seeming to know her question she was about to ask.

Kaoru nodded still in speechless awe. All of this information was too much and it needed to absorb thoroughly in her skull. "This is your room." The half-demon informed her emotionlessly. Sleep, the sun is getting to be completed in the darkness." The half-demon aforesaid, his legs getting ready to leave.

"Wait!" Kaoru shrieked at the moment catching his attention immediately. ""What is your name?" Kaoru asked, her eyes waiting for his response.

"Kenshin, but people call me Battousi (don't know spelled right), and you will only call me Battousi, is that understood?" Kaoru nodded speechlessly, stifling a yawn.

"Yours?" Kenshin responded to ask the same question. (I'll just call him Kenshin; Kaoru though would have to call him Battousi)

"Kaoru." Kaoru answered his question a bit sleepy. Kenshin nodded in agreement and was facing the opening of her hut. "Goodnight." Kenshin said, stuttering a bit forming the gentle words from his lips.

"Goodnight." Kaoru began to drift off, sleep claming her as she traveled once more through her dreams. What would be in store for them?

~~~

Confusion first

Is what they will

Experience

Hatred comes

And blinds

Their sight

But love

And Hatred will combine

To leave one

That will rule

From all
