R.S.:Hey! School's one week away! I don't wanna go! I hate school! I barely learn there! Oh my god, I just want to stay home and sleep! That's the life for me, baby!

Lol, but enough of that. Onto the story now! I won't let you listen to me ramble and bullshit.

There's a lemon in this chapter, so i'm warning now, K? Don't say i've never told you.

I want a girl with lips like morphine,
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping.
And I wanna feel that lightning strike me,
And burn me down.

Who'll raise you to heaven and drop you to hell

Chapter Thirteen: We make love, but the problems with me are still there

"Love me, break me! Woohoo!"

"Shut up and read, Misao. Your attention span is so damn short."

"Blow it out your ass, Kaoru!"

The two girls burst out laughing as they sat at Kaoru's living room table and laid their heads back at the silliness that Misao was giving. Once they calmed down, they sighed and continued to read. It was about eight thirty-seven in the morning and both of them were awake because Misao had joined Kaoru and her two guys for breakfast before dropping Yahiko off to school and dropping Michael off in the city with the other car.

"You're not afraid for your car, Kaoru?"

"It's Michael. He's a fucking racer. I trust him with my car. And besides. He'll pay for all the damages if he breaks it. Little shit."

After more laughter, the two sighed and they went back to reading the information that was on the laptop, in the folders, on sheets of paper, and other things that were laid out for them. As Misao bounced in her seat to the music and she picked up the pictures, Kaoru wrote down some things on a notepad with her pen, her body still as she had better concentration than her best friend sitting next to her.

"Look at these." Misao said and she turned to her before she put three pictures down. Kaoru blinked her light blue eyes and she looked down to see pictures of different things.

"When the fuck was Yahiko doing this? He's never been to that playground ever. This is getting weird, Misao."

"I know." She replied as Kaoru put those pictures aside before she turned and she picked up a stack of papers. She looked down and read them before she arched her eyebrow.

"What the fuck?"

"What?" Kaoru asked and Misao pointed. Kaoru shook her head after reading it and she said 'it's opinion.' Then she picked up another paper and called Misao's attention.

"Look at this. It says Yahiko's good with… violin deals? What the fuck?"

"That's what I'm saying. When did he deal violins? And who the fuck taught him?"

"… Let's take a break. We'll be better after we relax."

The two nodded and they put the papers away and they put it under the couch cushion. The two got up and after Kaoru turned off the stereo, Misao stretched and stood up on her tip-toes.

"Sigh I gotta head home for a while, then. Shiro's upset because I've been out the house too much and Jiya is too."

"Cool. But before you do, can you drive me to my house?"

"Sure." Misao said and Kaoru ran to grab some things before they exited the house and she locked the door. As they walked to the elevator, Kaoru decided that she wanted to check her mail. She pulled out her Sidekick 3 and Misao pushed the elevator button as Kaoru opened her e-mail from Genia.

"If this doesn't show you that your red boy loves you, then you're a blind cat who fucks squirrels. Stupid lesbo… Oooo a voice message."

"Play it! I wanna hear!" Misao bounced as the elevator finally opened and the two walked in. Misao pushed the basement floor and after the doors closed, Kaoru finally opened the mail and she began to listen to it. As she heard the words, her heart suddenly opened up wide for the words.

"I'm tired of playing games! Everything I do to her is like I'm trying to play games! I heal her; she thinks I'm trying to get nice to use her! I gave her my fucking grandmother's ring, and she cries like I'm abusing her head! All I want to do is have Kaoru love me again and she thinks I'm some fucking Enishi! What does she want, huh! For me to jump off the bridge with a sign planted on my chest saying I love her!"

Kaoru felt her heart skip a beat and then she looked up at Misao who just gave her a soft reassuring smile. Kaoru just nodded and as she put her phone away, Misao grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"You know he still loves you. At least talk to him more, ne? He's losing his mind without you. He knows how you feel now. And from what the guys tell me, he's super depressed. I mean, the not wanna go anywhere depressed. The 'I want my wife back and I'll commit suicide if I don't see her' type."

"Damn… is it really that bad?" Misao gave Kaoru a straight face.

"Kaoru, Kenshin went and apologized to your father and his twin because he felt as if he shamed them in some way. Then he went and apologized to Genia and gave her a diamond necklace. He hasn't caught Aoshi or Shuichi and there's no need for Tara. She has her own thing and we don't care for her smart ass mouth."

"I know, but that bad?"

"… He apologized to Yahiko and he bought him five thousand dollars worth of whatever he wants. Yahiko has those electrical cars now and he drives it along the street."

"Wow." Kaoru said and she looked at the floor as she began to think. Once they hit the basement floor, Misao snapped her out of her concentration and she led her to her car. They got in and Misao quickly drove out before Kaoru could even buckle up. Kaoru did in some fear and then she sighed.

"Misao, I don't even know. It's like, I love him sooo much. He's my husband, you know? And it's his fault this happened. Last night he acted so freakin mad at me for Tommy and then now I'm hearing this. Sigh I swear, this is why I used to smoke, you know."

"Laughs I know, Kaoru… things will be okay. You'll be able to find your way and hopefully you'll end up with the right person. I mean, look at me and Aoshi. I ended up back with him even after that… that bitch came and we were apart for a moment."

"True. I'm so glad that it's you and Aoshi. I really hated her."

"Laughs me too."

(KxK)

"Hello! Anybody home!"

"No!"

Kaoru made a face at the stairs as she shut the door and she ran up the steps before she bust into her sister's room and jumped on the blonde reading a teen magazine.

"Hey, what the hell!"

"What's up with that message, Genia! Huh! I'm a blind cat who fucks squirrels!"

"I couldn't help myself!" she laughed. "It was just a perfect opportunity!"

"Squirrels! You could have at least said something else like other cats or alley animals or something!"

"But it sounded the best! Stop it tickles!"

The two sisters laughed as they tickled each other and they made each other's stomachs hurt from all the laughter. Once they were done, Genia sat up on her pillows as Kaoru sat Indian style.

"So, you got the message, right?"

"Yup. And I have to say that… I'm partly convinced."

"What! Just partly!" Genia asked shocked and Kaoru just shrugged her shoulders and pulled her hair over her shoulder. Their eyes met as they glared at each other playfully and then Genia tackled her sister and pinned her down.

"You're a real bitch, you know that?"

"I've learned from the best." Kaoru retorted and Genia ground her hips against hers. Kaoru gasped and glared up at her sister with a small blush. Genia just gave a sexy smirk and she snapped her teeth playfully.

"You're such a lesbian."

"I go out with Tai and I'm a lesbian?"

"You do! Since when!" Kaoru asked with shock and happiness.

"The morning after the club. He said his girlfriend started cheating on him and he broke up with her because he liked me more and didn't want to deal with it. So… yeah. But you're not being fair."

"Well, why should I? Kenshin isn't the number one person on my list you know—stop grinding on me!"

"Then listen and don't say a word." Genia barked and Kaoru 'eep'ed at the seriousness in her voice that suddenly came. She looked up at her sister shocked and slightly nervous before she met her heated green eyes.

"Give him a fucking chance, Kaoru. I'm tired of you both fighting each other when I can see perfectly that you're lusting for one another. Craving for touch, for words, for connection. It's as if you're two magnets with the same sign. You want to come together, but force keeps pushing you apart."

"Genia—"

"Shut up and listen, Kaoru. He's trying so hard for you, baby sister. It's killing me to see him busting his ass and doing everything he's doing for you. I'd kill for somebody to give me that kind of attention once and a while. Kenshin barely has a social life anymore. I know that something happened while you two were in Italy, but I know he regrets it now. He truly does. He actually sheds tears now. That's how much he loves you.

"He never used to cry for anything. And now he's crying for you once every two days or something. Even if it's like two tears, it's still something."

"But—" Genia put her hand over Kaoru's mouth and she glared at her again.

"Please go to his house and tell him something. Anything. I don't care if it's a 'hello' or something. Just go and give him a true smile. For Christ's sake, you're wearing his grandmother's ring on your finger!"

Kaoru sighed and Genia got irritated and got off of her before turning and continuing to read her magazine while sucking her teeth. Kaoru tried to talk to her, but Genia just sighed loudly and she turned the page. Kaoru glared at her and then she rolled her eyes and bounced on the bed with anger.

"Come—on—Ge-ni-a!"

"No. You're fucking ridiculous." Genia growled and Kaoru then got up and she stomped her foot.

"Why are you not on my side!"

"I am on your side and I always will be!" Genia said as she stood up and looked dead into her sister's eyes.

"You know I'm behind you one-hundred percent! But when you know that he's sorry and regretting everything and he's trying so hard, then it upsets me! What man do you know would do this for you! He's wasting every goddamn day of his life for you and you're just sitting around and letting him slip away! One of these days when you want to love him again, he's going to find somebody else! And I know you don't want that! Kenshin's the one for you and you're throwing him away!"

Kaoru looked at the floor and Genia just breathed deep as she had finished screaming at her sister. Kaoru didn't look up and as Genia just sat back down on her bed and she opened up her magazine once more, she looked up at her sister.

"Please get out of my room if you're going to be this way, Kaoru. Now you're just being heartless."

Kaoru said 'whatever' and she shut the door hard before she walked to the stairs and stomped down the whole thing. Genia felt bad for going off on her sister, but she couldn't take it anymore. She wanted them back together badly. As she heard her sister's car drive off, she sighed and she stared up at the ceiling.

"Damn stubborn ass Loire child. I should've just kicked her in the ass."

(W.R.Y.T.H.A.D.Y.T.H.)

"I'm so freakin' dirty… damn this yard work."

Kenshin Himura glared at his watch as he pulled weeds from his father and his sister's garden and he started to plant vegetables and flowers in different spots. As he wiped sweat from his face and he reached absent mindedly for a pack of seeds.

"Where are those roses… they were just right here…"

"I see you need a woman's touch on this."

Kenshin froze, violet eyes opening up wide as he heard a voice that sent his heart beating at a faster pace. He flipped his hair from his eyes and he turned around to see the person that he had been dying to see for a long time.

"Oh. It's just you, Kaoru." He said bitterly after finally remembering what had been going on between them. Kaoru's light blue eyes were bright as she gave him a soft smile and she stripped her jacket. He felt his mouth begin to drop, but he quickly shut it as he mentally told himself to fight the urge to go and grab her.

Kaoru had on short shorts and her wife beater clung to her body as she shifted and she put her hair up into a flat clip.

(A/N: Kinda like Quistis' in Final Fantasy 8).

Kenshin turned back around and as Kaoru kicked off her shoes and picked up the roses, she walked over to him and she sucked her teeth.

"What?"

"You're planting them tacky-like." She said in disgust.

"I don't see you dirty and pulling weeds." Kenshin said angrily at her. The blue-eyed girl gave him a glare at his smart mouth.

"I'm about to, so hush." Kaoru snapped and she fell to her knees before she opened the pack of rose seeds. She moved a good amount of dirt away and Kenshin watched as she moved with gentleness and care.

"You can't be too rough with them." She said softly as he watched her put soil back over the seeds and pick up the water pail to pour some in to start them up.

"It's like people. The rougher you get with them, the worse they become sometimes. Flowers need to be cared for gently and lovingly, okay?"

Kenshin nodded dumbly and then Kaoru smiled and patted his shoulder before she got up and she asked where there were more weeds. He pointed in a direction and Kaoru nodded before she walked over and she got back down and started to pull. Kenshin glanced over to her and instantly his mind went in the gutter as he started at Kaoru's ass and he watched her pull back and move forward.

'I'd love to have her like that... Damn I'm a pervert! Stop thinking these thoughts. Stop thinking these thoughts.' He told himself and as he finished planting the line of roses, he walked over to help her as he saw her get tangled in the long plants.

"Need some help?" he asked coolly, a smirk on his face as he watched her growl and glare up at him.

"No. Just because my husband Takashi didn't tend to them and they're like four feet wrapping around my legs, doesn't mean I can't untangle myself."

"Ssssuuuurrreeee it doesn't. " Kenshin said with a cocky grin and Kaoru just gave him the finger as she got even more tangled. Kenshin finally pulled out his pocket knife and Kaoru looked up at him with a gasp.

"Get that thing away! You've always been shaky with swords, you know." Kenshin thought about it and the he gave a perverted smile.

"I guess that's always been my perfection with jerk off, huh?"

"Kenshin, ew! Nasty Hentai!"

Kenshin laughed as he went over to her and he began to cut her loose. He put it away after she squirmed and he began to pull her out gently until she was resting in his lap and the weeds were finally not wrapping around. Kaoru could feel his heartbeat and as she put her ear against his chest with an absent mind, she could hear it beating. The thumping sound soothed her mind and then she suddenly pulled away as if she was caught doing something bad.

"S-sorry." She said and as Kenshin just nodded and the two began to pull the weeds, Kaoru looked over at Kenshin as his hair fell into his eyes. He blew it away and it fell back into the same spot. She thought it was cute as he frowned and groaned at his locks. As she smiled softly, she heard her mind telling her to be careful.

'Remember the year.' It said to her. 'Remember everything that went on.'

'Yes, but it's a new year, Kaoru. Let's throw it behind, ne?' another side said.

Kaoru shook her head and Kenshin watched her raise up onto her knees and move over to him. He was about to ask what she was doing, but then he felt her soft fingers against his scalp and he let out a quiet sigh as it felt real good. Kaoru removed his hair tie and she pulled his hair back from his eyes before she tied it up into a nice and gentle ponytail.

"There. That's better, right?"

"Yeah… thanks."

"No problem." Kaoru said with a smile and as they went back to weeding in silence. Kenshin got tired of it and he pulled out a small remote from his pocket before he pointed it towards the house and pressed 'play.' Kaoru's ears were drawn to the techno type beat and with a smile, she began to slowly bounce and sway from side to side as she listened.

"You like M-Flo, Kenshin?"

"I'm half Japanese, Kaoru. Who doesn't like them from there?"

"Beats me." She said with a laugh and Kenshin laughed with her as well before Kaoru got up and she began to sway her hips.

"Come dance! I know the next track on this, and I love it."

"I bet you do. And this is my Ipod. You might be surprised."

Kaoru stuck her tongue out at him and as she danced and she spun, Kenshin looked at her fingers.

"I see you still have her ring on... Why didn't you give it back?"

Kaoru stopped dancing and as Kenshin got up, she felt the need to leave.

"I should go. I just dropped by, ya know?"

"Stay." He ordered and as he walked over to her and picked her up hand, she looked up into his eyes and she watched as he brought it up to his lips and kissed the ring. The song changed and a soft smile came up on his face as Kaoru's face had a small blush.

"I love this song. You didn't know it was this remix, did you?"

"… Shut up." She said and Kenshin just laughed softly and he backed away.

"You said you wanted me to dance, right?"

"I change my mind." Kaoru said smartly and she crossed her arms before Kenshin just started the song over and said 'suit yourself.' Kaoru watched as he slowly swayed to the music and he chuckled softly at himself as he shut his eyes. Kaoru bit her lip as she gulped and after a mental battle with herself that she lost to her lusting side, she slowly walked over to him and she began to dance to the beat.

Kenshin felt her coming and once she neared him, he put an arm around her waist and he felt her opened her eyes to meet his heated violet gaze. Kenshin took her hand and as he said 'just feel it' the two slowly began to dance around the grass. Kenshin put his hand in Kaoru's hair and removed her clip as their dancing slowly grew different and he gave her body a slow teasing grind.

'He's playing dirty… he knows how I react… damn you Kenshin.'

Kaoru bit back a moan and as he spun her around and then she pulled away and gave a teasing bounce as he watched her body move by itself, his eyes watching her backside as she had turned away. With a grin, he heard Kaoru gasp as he moved up on her and brought their bodies together with one slow raise of his hips.

"I hear a whimper escaping your lips, you know. Is that lust I'm sensing?"

"Hell no." she said and Kenshin just laughed as he moved away and he went back to the weeds. She gaped in shock and hurt as he left her hanging and then she glared at him.

'This is exactly why things get hard. Fucker's always playing games.'

"I heard that. You suck at hiding your thoughts these days. And I'm not playing games, Kaoru. You are."

"Me!"

"Yes you!" he barked and then he got up and he walked towards her. Kaoru back up a few steps and then she held her ground.

"You're playing games, Kenshin! From the club, to healing me, to giving me this ring! And then today Genia sends me some message with you barking at her about me!"

"What the fuck are you talking about!" Kaoru grabbed her phone and she went into her mail before she let him listen to it. Kenshin's eyes softened as he listened to his words and Kaoru just glared at him before she said 'there!'

"I got that last night and opened it this morning! Just what the hell are you trying to pull! You say this shit, but then you act like a bitch towards me last night!"

"You think I didn't have reason! Kaoru, for the past two weeks, you've been the biggest bitch in the world! I never even thought you had that side because it was that fucking ridiculous! I try to talk to you; you say one word and walk away. I've tried to call you, but you don't answer. I fucking contact you on myspace, and you tried to delete me! And I'm the one who's playing games!"

"Shut-up, Kenshin; you can't even stand here and act as if I don't have a reason!"

"I know there's a reason, but you won't let me talk to you and apologize!"

"An apology isn't going to change shit! Just saying 'sorry' doesn't do shit for me!"

"I wasn't going to just say sorry!" he screamed back and Kaoru felt a nervous shiver run down her spine as his eyes flashed gold and he grit his teeth. She backed up and he just followed until her back was against his glass door.

"All I've been trying to do is get you to sit down with me and let me talk to you. I've give up my fucking social life for you, Kaoru! I lost the urge to go out, to laugh and have fun; I lost the urge to fucking eat! I'm living off juices and water right now!"

"That's not my—"

"Shut-up and don't interrupt me, damn you." He growled and Kaoru just glared at him with anger before she looked down at the floor and Kenshin's fists shook at his sides in fury.

"I've been breaking my fucking back just to get you to notice me. I've went out and bought you things for all the occasions I've missed. They're all just laying in boxes on under my bed right now. I wanted to call you to give them to you, but you won't even pick up for me!

"I spent two thousand dollars on you yesterday, Kaoru. Ask Tommy and he'll tell you. I went to the mall and went anyplace that I thought could describe you. And it was hard because none of the stores can really describe what you are. What's really beautiful about you. But you'd never know that without me screaming it to you!"

Kenshin let out a sigh and he ran his fingers through his hair before pulling it away and talking with a little bit of calmness in his voice.

"I apologized to your whole damn family over there. Your father, his brother, your cousins... I said my apologizes in some kind of hope that they'd tell you what I've been doing. I went out and bought Genia a fucking diamond necklace. I spent five thousand dollars on Yahiko. If you think his father bought him that little electric car, think again.

"I've been waiting every single day to get you, and every single day I'm fucked over. Every-single-day. Your father told me that I'd see you, but I stopped listening to him because I know you. You're avoiding me every chance I see you. Why? Huh? Why can't you just let me talk to you? I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure out what to do!"

Kaoru instantly felt guilty and then she sniffed and said 'I hate you'

"What?"

"I said I hate you!" she cried and she looked up and glared at him as he looked at her with some surprise.

"Everytime I see you, I feel so guilty! I'm tired of feeling guilty when it's you who needs to feel this way! I always feel as if I was the one who left you! As if I was the one who left you alone! But it's the complete opposite! You left me, Kenshin! I waited and you didn't respond for anything, okay! I thought you didn't love me anymore and that's why I won't accept this! Accept you apologizing!"

"… You think I don't love you?" Kenshin asked slowly. Kaoru felt his anger inside and it gave her some fear as she backed up until her back was fully touching the wall, Kenshin quickly in her face and looking down at her with heated gold orbs.

"You really think I don't love you? That my heart doesn't beat for you? You really think that I wake up everyday just wishing that you were by my side again? You, Kaoru Loire, can really stand here and tell me that I don't love you anymore."

"I can." She said defiantly and Kenshin just laughed softly before his glare came back quick with words.

"Than you're more fucking stupid than I thought."

"And this is exactly why I hate you now! Because you call me that! I'm stupid for voicing my thoughts!"

"No! You're stupid for standing here and talking bullshit!"

"So it's bullshit!"

"Yes! It's pure bullshit!"

"You know what! Fuck you, Kenshin! I don't know why I came here!"

"Neither do I, you stubborn little brat!"

"I'm a brat now!"

"Yes! You are!"

"I HATE YOU!" Kaoru barked at him.

"GOOD!" Kenshin barked back at her.

Their breathing was ragged as they glare into each other's eyes, and just like that… their lips were on each other's hungrily. Their mouths were instantly opened to each other and Kaoru's hands were right on his face to hold him as their tongues fought against each other roughly and they shed held back passion through that one long kiss.

Kenshin hands went right on her waist as he pulled her close to him and brought their hips together so she could feel his clothed skin against hers. A soft moan fell through the kiss and Kenshin grinded against her as she soon wrapped her arms around his neck to put her fingers in his hair as they slowly lost air.

With a gasp, they let go and they panted as they stared at each other through half-lidded eyes. After both of them got a few seconds they were back at each other and Kenshin's hands moved onto her buttocks and palmed it in his hands as he brought her closer to him. Kaoru moaned again and the kiss slowed down at a fast speed before it was at a calm pace. Kenshin let her lips go and she dropped her head back as he licked her neck and began to suck in one spot.

'Why is my body burning up? His mouth feels like fire against my skin… its so hot…'

Kenshin kissed up to her lips again with a soft smile and Kaoru pulled him closer because she didn't want to loose the feeling of the heat.

"Kiss I still hate you."

"Kiss Good. Kiss I love you too."

(k.E.n.S.h.I.n. X k.A.o.R.u.)

From the upstairs bathroom, you could see steam escaping from the crack at the bottom of the door. It rose like a mysterious mist and it would make even the wisest of people curious as why it was that much steam rising in what seemed to be an empty house. Did somebody leave the water on? Was there a fire? Questions like those could arise.

Behind the door, the shower was indeed running. The mirror was fogged and lying across the floor was articles of clothing that seemed to be thrown in different places. Shorts, tops, and socks … a bra and panties… boxers…two cell phones lying on top of the sink. There were definitely people inside that shower.

Through the steamed glass you could make out two bodies. One was a male frame, the other female. Though many could determine that from the clothing on the floor. Inside the shower, planting soil and dirt fell and slid down the drain as if it were darkness being vanished away by the heavens.

Lips moved against each other feverishly and tongues danced across each other lustfully as the water from the faucet above dropped down and soaked them both from head to toe. Small fingers ran through red locks and tugged at them gently as the red-head nipped at her bottom lip and sucked on it between his teeth.

Her light blue eyes were now a shade darker with desire and his were a steamy gold as he put his hands on both sides of her face and pushed her black locks away, his lips instantly claiming hers again as he couldn't bare to keep away for a very long time. A moan escaped her lips as she put her arms around his neck and his hands slid down her sides to rest at her hips and giving a gentle squeeze.

Her back hit the wall as he moved them both and the kiss got deeper until both of them were refusing to let go and it filled with passion. Kenshin was the first to back away and trail kisses from her lips all the way down her neck. Kaoru dropped her head to the side as he began to slowly suck and leave a deep mark for her to see whenever she looked into the mirror.

He gave a gentle bite and then he nipped at her collarbone before his head trailed lower and Kaoru moaned as he breathed on her chest with slow teasing puffs from his chest. His mouth opened and he slowly went closer until it was latched onto her skin gently and his mouth was giving slow calm sucks that drove her mad.

"K-Kenshin…" her voice finally moaned and her fingers went on his arm and gave a small grip as he licked with tease and paid attention to her other side. His hand went sneakily down her stomach and her head dropped back with a gasp as his hand cupped her and his fingers brushed against her slowly.

"What do you wanna do, Kaoru." His voice was deep and sexy in her ear as he rolled the 'r' in her name and he opened his mouth again to lick the shell of her ear. She held onto his arm as she moaned in painful pleasure and he began to nibble on her earlobe with a groan escaping his mouth.

"Do you… want me?"

"… yes…." She whimpered and then she met his lips to give him a slow kiss, her tongue tracing his lips after she was done.

"I want you… so badly…I can't take it anymore…" their lips met again in a lazy hold and then they let go before Kaoru pressed another kiss to his lips.

"Love me, Kenshin… Please…"

"I'll love you every way I can… it's what I live for…"

(KxK)

Her moans were music to his ears, her hands pinned under his were soft and hot. Her body around his was electrifying, his mind refusing to stop as he dug deeper and deeper into what he knew was his life, his everything, his Kaoru. Their bodies soaked his bed, but he didn't care as her hands found a way up into his hair and tugged with a soft cry as he bit her neck.

He gave a warning growl to her as he thrust deeper and her hands let go and gripped his shoulders. Kaoru's breath began to grow shorter and he picked up his pace a little as made sure that she could feel every emotion that he held inside.

"K-Kenshin…" her voice whimpered and her head dropped back as he sucked on her neck and felt her pulse beneath her skin. Her nails dug into his skin and he said, 'no scratching' in a husky voice before he pinched her hand until she let go. Kenshin dropped it down against the bed and he drove his palm into her own before doing the same with his other hand and locking their fingers together, Kaoru instantly giving a grip as she cried out into the air.

Kenshin dropped his lips over hers and Kaoru tilted her head up to keep them together as his tongue slid against hers and licked the roof of her mouth before he pulled away a little. The sounds of M-Flo was on the floor below them and it raised up through the floor to add to the atmosphere they already had. As their lips parted, their eyes met and locked as the colors made them both equally dizzy in desire. Kenshin took his hands and he pushed her legs a bit wider before he paused at her whimpering voice.

"M-more, Kenshin… M-more…"

Kaoru arched up into him and cried out in his neck as he suddenly just slammed into her and he pulled out only to drop back in the same way. She cried out his name as he let one of her arms go to place on his shoulder as she gripped it hard and she rose her hips up to slam against his, the sound sending Kenshin's senses into overdrive.

"Kaoru… you're so tight…shit…" Kaoru could only moan out 'yeah' and swallow her spit to breathe. Kenshin could hear it in his ear as he dropped his head to one of her breasts and let her arch up into his mouth. He could tell that she was close, he could tell that she was ready to drop off the edge. But she was holding back.

"Let go, Kao… let go…"

"No…" she whimpered against his lips as she rose up to press a kiss to them.

"Together…" After Kenshin heard those words slip out, he gave a sexy smile and he said 'together' before he picked up speed and left Kaoru crying out and gasping for air. Their hand grip was tight and her head dropped back as she gave one last cry of his name and saw stars twinkling around her.

Kenshin brought her up against him with one arm and she cried out again his neck as he let a yell into her shoulder as he slipped into ecstasy. Within a few seconds, they collapsed against the bed in a heap of tangled limbs with shaky uneven breaths. Kaoru stared up at the ceiling and as Kenshin found strength and raised on his elbows, he pressed loving kisses to her lips and down her cheek to her neck.

Downstairs, The Himura family had just returned with Genia and the brothers from groccery shopping. Tommy said that he was going to see if Kenshin was upstairs once he saw that he wasn't in the backyard anymore. He jogged up the steps with Josue and they saw the bathroom was opened.

"Maybe he just got out the shower." Tommy said and the two walked over to it before they looked inside. Their mouths dropped as they saw the clothes laying around and the floor soaked.

"Oooooo shit. Kenshin got tired of waiting for Kaoru… Uh oh."

"Let's just go and see if he's in his room still." Josue replied to that before they followed the trail of water to Kenshin's door. Tommy looked at Josue and the two counted down from five before they swung it open.

"SHUT THE FUCKING DOOR!" they slammed it shut quickly with a 'sorry!' before the two ran back down the hall and down the steps. They bust into the kitchen screaming 'she's up there!'

"Calm down." Tai said before the two sat down and just kept bouncing as the others put the grocceries away.

"Kenshin's up there in his room with Kaoru." Tommy said after catching his breath. Everybody froze and Genia spun aruond quickly with Netalia.

"Talking or—"

"They were fuckin'! I swear on my life! The bathroom is soaked, their clothes are all over, the hallway floor is soaked, there's this one spot on the wall with water dripping down; they did it!"

Genia and Netalia screamed out in victory and hugged each other as they jumped around happily. Tai said 'it's about time!' with a smile before he sighed and he looked at the backyard.

"Oh yeah. They were definitely doing something. Look at the glass door. It has body marks. And there's a dirt trail right… here."

"Damn you detective." Genia giggled before he gave her a pinch and they just cheered again.

(W.R.Y.T.H.A.D.Y.T.H.)

"You're not cutting these off."

"Why? I like it black all the way."

"I like the red. If you don't cut em', I'll get black tips on mine."

"… Promise?"

"Kiss."

"…Fine."

With a smile of victory, Kenshin shifted and pulled Kaoru into his arms to snuggle as he leaned against his backboard and looked at the clouds swinging by out the window. She was drowsy as she gazed at it with him and then she blinked slowly and let out a soft yawn. Kenshin said, 'aww' as she blinked the tears from her eyes.

"What?"

"It sounds like a dog whine a little bit."

"Oh, so now you're calling me a dog?"

"No, love. Your whine sounds like it. You're not the only one in your family, you know. Aoshi and Shuichi sound just the same way and your father's the worst."

"Laughs I should buy him dog treats."

Kenshin chuckled softly as Kaoru gave a grin and then she pressed a kiss to his neck before she yawned again and he yawned seconds later.

"Stop yawning. It's contagious." Kaoru grinned again before Kenshin tickled her sides and then he laid back down with her. His fingers went to her hair and he smirked as he saw the red streaks at the bottom of her black tresses. Kaoru swatted his hands away and she got comfy again before she draped her leg over his and told him not to move as she dropped an arm across his chest as well.

"Awww, is Kaoru tired?"

"It's your fault." She snapped playfully at him before he said 'mwa?'

"Yes, you. You were always a machine type." He laughed full heartedly before he kissed her forehead and roughed her head up a little bit. She gave him a playful glare before she laughed as he whined and hugged her in a playing mood.

"I miss you, anata! Kenny-wenny ha sonnani nogashi ta!(Kenny-wenny missed you so much!)"

"Kenny-Wenny?"

"Yup. Your sister and my sister gave it to me."

"… it's cute." She said softly and then she snuggled against him again before Kenshin held her hand up with his and closed them together.

"Perfect." He said sleepily and then he dropped their hands down before he yawned and mumbled 'I Love you.'

"Me too." Kaoru mumbled back and her eyes dropped before the two just drifted off into a relaxed sleep. Minutes later, Genia popped her head into the room with Netalia looking below her. The two said 'awww' silently to each other and pretended to tear up at the sight before closing the door.

"It's about time." Genia whispered.

"I was about to think Kaoru would really do herself."

(KxK)

"They're just stopped again? This is the third freakin' time!"

"Yup. I just popped my head in, and Kenshin glared at the door so hard there's probably a burn mark on my forehead right now."

"Damn. I knew they had to make up but…damn."

Genia sat in the backyard with Netalia, Tai, Soujiro, and the brothers as they all ate chinese food and shared a couple of drinks amongst each other. The mood was relaxing with low music and laughter going about as the brothes attempted to use chopsticks and settled for their fingers at times.

"You guys are really not asian at all." Soujiro chuckled as he scooped up some more noodles into his mouth.

"Well, neither is Genia!" Tommy pointed out. Genia smirked as she used the chopsticks better than Soujiro and she spun them around in her fingers.

"But I've been around asian culture for basically all my life. So that makes me asian in a way, black boy."

"How about I flash you my black—"

"Ah! Kenshin, stop!"

Genia got up after hearing Kaoru's girlish scream again and she pulled Netalia with her as they walked through the house and went to the stairs. They walked up quickly and they walked down the hall before they knocked on the door and waited. It was silent in the room now and as they knocked again, Kenshin spoke.

"We don't want any." Genia opened the door and Kenshin said, "Out!" before Genia just smirked and Netalia looked around the room.

"At least the bed was the only thing used."

"I said out!" Kenshin barked and Genia just said 'shut up' before she checked her watch.

"I don't know if you two realize it, but it's almost eight o' clock. You've been fucking and sleeping all day. The sun's about to set and Misao just called saying that Yahiko's sitting in her house with her sisters playing video games and waiting for you, Kaoru. As much as I hate to do this… sister, you have to get dressed and leave."

Kaoru stared at Genia hard, her arms still pushing against Kenshin's chest and her leg still pushing at his hip as she was listening. After a minute of thought, Kaoru sighed and after pushing Kenshin off, grabbed the towel on the floor before wrapping it around herself and getting up. Kenshin didn't like the idea and he instantly began to throw a fit.

"I hate you, Genia! Oh my god, I hate you so much! You're such a loser! You know that YOU could have gotten Yahiko your damn self!"

"Hey, shut up over there and go to sleep. Big bitch."

"Me!" Kenshin growled and got up before they squealed and shut the door. Kenshin snorted and he turned to see Kaoru thinking about what to wear from his closet.

"Get out of my closet."

"I have no clothes."

"Acutally, you have a lot of clothes here. Don't you remember what I said earlier?"

Kenshin got up and pulled on a pair of boxers before he walked over to his closet door and he shut it. He led her back to his bed and he sat her down before he dropped to his knees and began to dig and pull out boxes. Kaoru's eyes opened up as he put them on the bed and then he sneezed from the dust. He came back up and he wiped his nose before he gave her a sly grin and he passed her the first box.

"Happy Holidays. All the one's I've missed, ya know?"

Kaoru nodded and as she opened the first box, she said 'wow!' as she saw all the shirts. She looked at each one, keeping them folded and Kenshin handed her the next box.

"I love these! Wow, where'd you go!"

"Hot Topic."

"I went there and they didn't have these!"

"I got the last ones." He said with a shrug before Kaoru just said 'awesome' and she went through two more boxes of shirts, skirts, and jeans. She turned around and she ebgan to choose out what she wanted to wear with a smile on her face. Kenshin held himself up with his hands behind him, a smile on his face as Kaoru flipped her hair over her shoulder and she said 'I love this one!'

"There's five more things for you." He said catching her attention. Kaoru said, 'More! Really!' with an excited smile on her face and then Kenshin nodded to her.

"After you shower."

"Meanie." She said with a soft smile and then she got up and Kenshin barked like a dog before grabbing her around the waist and following her to the shower.

(KxK)

"Now that you've been showered and they put these clothes in the car, here's your gifts."

Kaoru shut her eyes with a squeal and then Kenshin just chuckled before he pulled out five small boxes. When he said open, she looked at him holding the boxes in his lap.

"Do you want to wear this one?" A gasp escaped her lips as she saw the beautiful gold necklace in the box with a heart and a diamond in the middle of it. She took it and she said 'wow' with a soft laugh before Kenshin put a finger up.

"Or do you want to wear this one?" She widened her eyes as she saw a silver necklaece with the 'Return to Tiffany' lock charm on it. It shined at her and as she was going to take it out and put it on, Kenshin spoke again.

"How about this one?"

He did this two more times and as Kaoru was going to say 'no more' with a whine, he pulled out the last one. It had a ring and a necklace inside, both gold with the both having K& K engraved on it and the month that they had gotten together.

"Kenshin… I don't even know what to say… Wow…"

Kenshin put the last one around her neck and he slipped the ring onto her finger before he shut the other boxes and put them in her bag. She jumped up and put her arms around his neck, her voice whining, 'you're spoiling me.'

"I haven't spoiled you in a very long time. This makes up for it." Kaoru bit her lip as he walked her to her car in the driveway. She pressed a kiss to his lips and he instantly deepened it before they both felt a vibration against their hips. Kaoru looked down with him and then they both laughed as it was Kaoru's cell phone.

"That's Misao… I'll talk to you later."

"Sure."

With another kiss, Kaoru got into her car and she reversed out the driveway. Kenshin just waved with a smile and Kaoru honked her horn before racing off down the street. Once she was around the corner, Kenshin cheered and he clicked his heels before running into the house screaming "I got my wife back!"

The others laughed from the kitchen as they saw him running through the house screaming it. He ran up the stairs and their laugther grew louder as they could hear him open every door and scream it to nobody in particular. He ran back down the steps and he ran right past them in the kitchen before yelling it outside for his whole street to hear.

"I GOT MY WIFE BACK!"

"HEY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he heard somebody scream at him.

"GO BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS OLD MAN THOMPSON! YOU CAN'T BRING ME DOWN TODAY, FUCKER! I GOT MY WIFE BACK SO YOU COULD FUCK MY DOORKNOB FOR ALL I CARE!"

"Kenshin!" Netalia said shocked and Genia just giggled and put a thumbs up and Kenshin ran back into the house and jumped on Josue. He fell to the floor as Kenshin cheered on his shoulder and jumped up and down.

"I got my wife back!"

"I—can't—breathe!" Josue cried back and Tai pulled Kenshin off before sitting him down.

"Man I feel soooo good! Oh my god, I'm alive again! This deserves a drink! Round em' up, Genia! You little whore you!"

Genia gasped as he jumped into her arms and hugged her tight and kissed her cheek.

"Thanks so much. I owe you a lot. I mean, we're not a couple, but we're friends with benefits! That's good enough! My best friend talks to me again!"

"Yeah, yeah. Now… get off…I can't breathe… and my tits are squished…"

"Oh your implants? Sorry." Kenshin gave a squeeze and he ran with a laugh.

"You better run. Dick head"

(k.A.o.R.u.)

"You tired, Yahiko?"

"Nuh uh. Just hungry. Where's Michael?"

"He'll meet us at dinner, okay? You just go and get dressed. Misao gave you a shower, right?"

"Uh huh."

Kaoru watched Yahiko run off down the hall and as she sat down in the living room, her phone began to ring. Instantly, her eyes opened from being closed and she felt her blood run cold. As she slowly pulled out her cellphone, she looked at the name and said "Fuck."

Llusi-Baby

As she thought about whether she wanted to answer or not, she finally gave in and she pressed 'accept' before putting the phone up to her ear and taking in a deep breath.

"Hello?" she said softly.

"Hey! What's going on, Kao-baby! You promised that today we'd be crazy and do random shit on the computer to each other. You went out today?"

"Yeah… you could say that." She replied softly and flipped her hair back from her eyes.

"What happened to your phone? You said you'd always pick up for me, you know. Whatcha been up to?"

"Well… this morning I went to Dunkin Donuts and left my phone there on accident. So I've been with my other phone all day."

"… If you've been with your other phone, you should have picked up because I called that phone too. You're catching yourself in lies, Kaoru."

Kaoru mentally cursed for having two phones and she ran her fingers through her hair before Allusius let out a sigh.

"Tell the truth, Kaoru. It's not nice to lie. I'll be honest to you. Today, I went out and I had fun with a couple of gals and guys. Had a drink or two and shopped. And now I'm exercisin my foot and leg. That's my day. What about yours?"

"…"

"Hello, Kaoru. I want to hear you voice, you know."

"…Hi."

"You were with Kenshin, weren't you?" Kaoru froze as she heard him say it coldly. It sent a chill down her spine how he just guessed out of the blue and then she swallowed her spit and answered.

"How'd you figure that?"

"I took a guess. Were you?"

"… Yeah." She heard him give a long sigh and she asked what his problem was.

"No problems, Kaoru. I'm fine."

"No, you gave that long sigh. I know you're pissed."

"Nobody's pissed! It's your life, you know. Not mine."

"So why do you sound so goddamn angry about it!" Kaoru asked angrily.

"Nobody's angry! Why I gotta be angry for!"

"Because I know you, Allusius! I can tell you're furious about it."

"Oh my—I'm not furious, Kaoru! It's you, not me!"

"What the fuck is up with you!"

"Don't curse at me like that." Kaoru glared at the phone as he said it low and then she sighed.

"Could you please tell me why you are upset."

"I repeat to you for the fourth time. I'm not upset."

"Well, you sound upset."

"I am not upset!" Kaoru got mad at his voice and then she got up.

"Look, what-the the fuck-ever. You call back when you're not so fucking pissy."

"Fuck that. I'm going to fucking sleep. I stayed awak to talk to you, but now I see that you obviously don't fucking want to."

They both hung up at the same time and Kaoru just frowned at it before she walked to her room and saw Yahiko tying his shoes. He was wearing a gray shirt and black jeans. Kaoru went into her mirror and she brushed her hair into a slightly high and tight ponytail before she fixed her shirt and she smiled at Yahiko.

"Let's go to dinner, ne?"

"Yeah! I'm really hungry!" Yahiko cheered and Kaoru just laughed before taking his hand and leading him out of the apartment.

(K.a.M.i.Y.a.)

"Hey! Is Kaoru around!"

"Who's this!"

"It's Kenshin! Her father asked me to see where she is because she's at my house! Who's this!"

"It's Michael! Kaoru's with me at this bangin' ass club! What does he need!"

"He wanted her to come by my house since he's here, but nevermind that! Just tell her later!"

"Oka—Oh my god! Kaoru, you're such a hoe!"

Michael shut the phone with a cheer and he slipped the blue razor into his pocket as he danced with his brother Tyler, his sister Kaname, Genia, Kaoru, Aoshi—who had just come down minutes earlier for the event—and a few other Kamiya family members that lived in other cities. One brunette, two black haired, and one blonde.

"This is a Kamiya party night! Let's keep happy tonight, right!"

"Yeah, but Tara's not here! She's a Kamiya too!"

"Too fucking young!" Aoshi laughed and they soon just laughed with him before Kaoru felt Michael pull her into a hug and whisper into her ear about who just called her. She nodded as she rubbed circles on his chest and then he peck her cheek. She pulled her skirt a little and then she fixed her top and let Genia tie it back around her neck with a soft smile on her face.

"Who's a Luv Addict in here!" the crowd cheered to the DJ and Kaoru said 'this is the song!' as she knew what was going about to play.

"I wanna go dance on those!" Michael looked up and grinned as she pointed and then he said 'move along' to her before she cheered and walked off. Genia arched her eyebrow as she looked and then she laughed at her cousin's antics.

"Mailey, stop!" she laughed as her cousin hugged her around the waist and she flipped her light brown hair back and she blinked sexy gray-green eyes at a guy walking by. Her hair went to the middle of her back and her body was beautiful as she showed off with a short skirt and a stylish tank-top.

"Hold up, wait a minute, put a little love in it!"

The whole party began to cheer and as they started to dance, Aoshi looked up and he said, 'Oh shit!' before he pointed and showed his cousins and family.

"Look at Kaoru!"

"WORK THAT POLE BABY!" Michael cried with his cousin Ayoshi, their blue eyes bright and their voices loud. Ayoshi had short blonde spikes on his head and he had cobalt blue eyes with a fit body and a dazzling grin. It seemed that all the Kamiya children had it with the way they were dancing and cheering for the Kamiya girl that was up there.

"Sexy!" Michael cried and he took a picture with his digital camera. Aoshi and Genia just grinned and as Kaname gaped with Mailey, the last remaining Kamiya teenagers just got hyper and said 'go baby go!' One was a boy named Kisho and the other was his twin named Masahiro.

But names aren't really important right now. The biggest thing that was important was Kaoru dancing about the pole as the song was remixed to start back over. With her soft hands, she held the pole and she shook her hips in sexy motions. Men watched as Kaoru winded around on it and she turned around to put her hands on her knees as she slid down the pole, her face showing painful pleasure as her legs opened up a little bit wider to tease. She rose up shaking her finger with a sexy smile and spinning her hips around.

The cheers she got were ridiculous as she put her leg around the pole and she spun before dipping her body. She rose up slowly and then she bit her lip with an innocent look as she rose her shit up above her stomach and shook her finger again as somebody cried out to take it off.

"She's really working a fucking pole… who taught her this!"

"Allusius!" Michael laughed and they all just gaped and looked at him.

"You serious! That boy you guys were best friends with pole dances!"

"For fun in his basement, but yeah!"

The way Kaoru moved was sluttish, but she didn't care as she went free and let out a week's worth of partying that was held inside. She held the pole again and she moved low before she winded her body into it and she let out moan that everybody could see coming from her mouth.

"If she wasn't my cousin, I'd fuck her. I'm dead ass serious! I'd kill for my neighbor to do this!" Masahiro said to them and they just laughed before looking back at Kaoru as she flipped her curly hair from her face again.

Kaoru dipped her body on the pole and as she shook her hair from her face, she held the pole with one hand and she slid up against it before she fell to her knees and she crawled across the small walkway.

"Ooo shit! Is the film still rolling!" Kisho cried to Michael, his hazel eyes blinking as he watched Kaoru arch her back up and down. Michael nodded as he sat on the bar and he filmed his younger cousin work. Kaoru fliped her hair over as she rose up on her knees and she danced her upper body wildly and teasingly, a sexy smile on her face.

The song ended as Kaoru rose her shirt up above her stomach again and she showed a bit of her bra to the men just watching. Girlfriends were jealous and single women were furious as they watched Kaoru just give a smile while breathing and run her fingers through her hair. Aoshi and Tyler jogged over to her and they helped her down before she got money pushed towards her.

"I'm not a stripper! Just having some fun, boys!" she cried to them and then she saw a few hundreds that had been slipped into her pocket. It kept going until she got to her family and Michael just put his arms around her and hugged her with a laugh.

"You little slut you! I got it all on footage!"

"Awesome!" she said with a smile and then she laughed as her cousin Mailey put his arms around her with a smile. Genia came on the other side and Kaname joined in before Michael took a picture of the four girls all giving smiles.

"Sex-ay!"

(KxK)

"Shinji! musuko! zutto sore ha watashi tachi ga hanashi ta node tsuki de aru! ikani mochi nasai atte iru ka!(Shinji! Son! It's been a month since we've talked! How have you been!)"

"Watashi ha yoi no zutto haha. Ikani nippon ni i ta ka? Watashi ha yoku shi te iru koto o nozomu. I've been good, mother. How have you been in Japan? I hope you're doing well.)"

"Watashi ga yoi kochira ni koto o shitte iru. Watashi ni yoi ga atte iru anata no chichi. Kare ha oranda no shucchou ni ima aru.(You know i'm okay over here. Your father's been good to me. He's on a business trip right now in Holland.)"

"Yoi.(That's good)."

Shinji sighed as he sat at Takashi Himura's kitchen table, his phone on his ear and business papers in front of him with two cups of tea for him and Takashi to drink. His mother had suddenly called for him and as he was about to explain to Takashi some stock drops and he was forced to take it. He knew the reason she was calling.

"Shuichi oyobi Tytto ha kiten ni iku tame ni hayai kesa o nokoshi ta. sorera ha ima goro ha mou soko ni aru beki de aru. 2 tsu ga anata no kyoudai o houmon suru koto o koko ni ki ta koto o shitta ka?(Shuichi and Tytto left early this morning to go back home. They should be there by now. Did you know that the two came here to visit your brother?)"

"… Iie. Sorera ha watashi ni nani demo tsuge nakatta.(No. They didn't tell me anything.)"

Shinji let out a sigh and he rubbed his head as he knew he was going to have to put some authority down on his children later once again. He could hear his mother give a soft sigh as well and then he heard her voice speak again.

"Anata no kodomo ha doko ni aru ka? Sore kenzen na sou shizuka.(Where are your children? It sound so quiet.)"

"... Sorera ha Kaoru ga sorera ni tsuge ta tou ni subete de aru. Sore ha Kamiya no koto de aru. Asahi no kodomo oyobi Kananji no kodomo ha soko ni iru.(... They're all at a party that Kaoru told them about. It's a Kamiya thing. Asahi's children and Kananji's children are there.)"

"Partying again?" he heard his mother say with a thick accent.

"Yes. Again. And speak more english, mother. My head's kinda fuzzy at the moment."

"I'll try… how is Aoshi?"

"Doing well in college with basketball. He's a forward and is very good with jump-shots and lay-ups. He's living out what he wanted to do."

"That's good… Genia?"

"In college as well. She doesn't wanna live on campus, so she just drives there. She doesn't like the dorms."

"Soko ni mada de aru kanojo ha bijinesu no tame ka?(Is she still there for business?)"

"Yes, mother."

"I see. And what of Tara?"

"Straight A's and a star on her basketball team. She's a point guard. And she's running track right now. She's doing very well."

"I see… and what of Annalise's child? The untamed one."

"Her name is Kaoru." Shinji replied to his mother's bitter and hateful voice.

"And she's doing fine. She just got home from being in Italy for a year. It's been rough, but she's fit back in pretty nicely. The worst she does is party hard and sleep in classes. She's still getting straight A's and colleges are calling her for track because she's running for a traveling team. She told me that they're all about to race soon. The top teams of the world."

"And she got into that? Hmph. A big surprise in my eyes."

"Kaoru's the best athlete in the house next to Aoshi, mother. She's going very far, so don't talk like that about her."

"You know the reason I speak this way of her. She is not on my good side of the family, you know. Her mother is all over her actions."

"I know, mother. And there's no problem with it. We've been fighting for a while, but we're alright now. She's living in a penthouse with Tytto and—"

"Kanojo ha ie de iki te i nai ka! Shinji!(She's not living at home! Shinji!)"

"Maa maa, okaa-san. Kanojo ga kono ie de iki te iru nai mou doko ka ni toiu yoi riyuu ga ari.(Calm down, mother. There's a good reason that's she's living somewhere else and not in this house anymore.)"

"Why is Kaoru living on her own! Show some backbone, Shinji! Act like a father!"

"Chousen no shitsumon watashi no sodateru gijutsu! Watashi ha subete ikani hataraku ka Annalise ga shin da shitte iru nochi mottomo nagai no no tame no watashi no kodomo o sodate! Sekinin ga aru Kaoru oyobi kanojo ha mada gakkou oyobi subete ni itte iru! Watashi ga aru node sou watashi ni chichi no you na koui o itte ha ike nai!

Kaoru's responsible and she's still going to school and everything! So don't tell me act like a father because I am! I'm keeping tabs on her, damn you!)"

Takashi walked in the kitchen with Kenshin under his arm, the two just chuckling softly at the things on the television before. They stopped as they saw Shinji sitting at the table with angry dark blue eyes.

"Akutai o anata no haha ka! Aete suru haji ka nai?(You dare curse your mother! Have you no shame!!"

"Watashi ha kanojo souiu kaze ni noberu koto o kyoka shi ta itte i nai! Kaoru ha watashi no kodomo de aru! nai anata no!

Goodnight.(I'm not going to let you talk about her that way! Kaoru is my child! Not yours! I raised Kaoru up to follow her dreams and that's why my child is singing like her mother and doing sports to bring pride to our family! Kaoru knows exactly where her priorities are and I trust my child to death! I won't let you talk about her that way because you'd be angry yourself if she was here calling you out of your name like she usually does! And if you have a problem, that i'll call father and tell him! Now unless you can accept her, then this conversation is over. Goodnight.)"

Shinji slapped his phone shut angrily and then he just glared at it before Takashi asked if he was alright. Kenshin gave a slightly worried glance and then Shinji just looked up with a soft smile.

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm just sick of her doing that to Kaoru. She may have changed her last name, but she's still a Kamiya birth cirtificate wise. She's blood and she can't change that. Now, let's get down to these graphs. You missed a lot when you went on vacation, Takashi."

(KxK)

"Oh my god! Tytto, you made it!"

Kaoru jumped into her cousin's arms and then she hugged Shuichi as well as they all saw them and cheered them in with a 'hey!' Two more Kamiya children had joined and it was a special event as they had cameras taking pictures of them and Kaoru took pictures with some of her fans.

"Family picture!" Shuichi said with a big smile after he greeted all of his family.

"Not yet! You guys gotta get down and party to look kinda sweaty like us! You, Tytto, Remmy and Arjui just got here!"

Arjui Kamiya was another male Kamiya with dark reddish brown hair to the end of his neck and dark blue-green eyes. His bangs were choppy and he had small freckles on his face to give off the cute boy look. Remmy Kamiya was a girl with brown hair to the top of her shoulders and light brown eyes. She was the second youngest girl amongst them, even though they were all born in the same year(minus Genia).

"Par-tay!" Kaoru said as she danced with Michael, the two swaying to the beat and just having fun. Ayoshi quickly went over and he turned around before Kaoru laughed as he put his hand on his knees and started dancing into her. Tyler took a picture as Shuichi laughed and finished his drink.

"Still being wild, eh Ayo!"

"Damn right! You wanna be a fag and go to Greece! But it's okay! More women for me, know what I'm mean!"

"Sure, you say that now! But you'll freeze up like a bitch!"

"Whatever!"

Tytto was already dancing in the crowd with Genia and Kaname, the two talking to him and asking how it went. He had a calm smile on his face, but Kaoru could tell that he was slightly troubled by the color of his eyes. She took Michael's hand and then she said, "Hey, we gotta stick together!" before the Kamiyas walked over and all got a group hug.

"We love you, Tytto!"

"Okay! I love you guys too! Now get off of me!" he laughed before they let go and Michael took his camera from somebody with a 'thanks!'

"Let's get down and dirty!" Shuichi cheered and they all said 'hell yeah!' before they started to party and get down with the music.

"Look at Kaoru! That guy is goin' nuts!"

"Work em' Kaoru!" Mailey cried as she was spun around by Tytto and they slid to opposite sides. They slid back together and started to two step before they heard the DJ speak up.

"We got word that a Kamiya dynasty is up in here, so shout out to those Kamiya children who got fame under their name!"

They cheered and Kaoru laughed as Mailey said 'damn right!'

"Let's celebrate our joining together!" Tyler said and they all got drinks before they came together. Kaoru ran her fingers through her hair with a smile as they all had their glasses near each other's and waited. Tyler then cleared his throat with Shuichi since they were the two oldest boys there and they spoke.

"This is to who we are, this is to what we do! This is to all of our accomplishments as people and our accomplishments are family! Even though Two of us turned to be Loire's, they are still Kamiya's on the inside and it's in their blood!"

"Hell yeah!" Arjui said proudly and they just laughed before Tytto said 'sssh there's more!'. Shuichi shifted and then he started to speak.

"This is to our ups and downs! This is to our smiles and frowns! This is to all of us being together for a very long time and for us not breaking apart over simple things! This is to our tears, to our smiles, but most of all this is to our love for one another! So I finish this off this toast by saying something so truthful it would hurt if we were hiding it! I love my Kamiya family and we all are beautiful people!"

"To the Kamiya dynasty!" Genia said happily.

"To the Dynasty!" they all cheered and clashed glasses before drinking down whatever they had in their cups. Michael hugged Kaoru with a squeal before Kaname took a picture with an 'aww!'

"I love my best friend!" Michael said happily and Kaoru just laughed as she hugged him back. Tytto pouted cutely and said 'what about me?'

"Awww!" Kaoru pulled him in and she hugged them both with a smile.

"These two are my boyfriends!" she said happily and as they smiled wit her, another picture was taken.

"Come on! Let's get a group picture!"

Michael asked a person walking by to take the picture and they all joined together and gave pretty smiles. He took the picture and they thanked him and looked at it before nodding to each other.

"This is the best night ever! Kaoru and Michael are home from Italy, Tytto's living in America, Shuichi's back for a little vacation; we all have to shop tomorrow!" Remmy said happily.

"Are you happy, Kaoru! No more sadness right! We're all back together now!"

Kaoru smiled a sweet happy smile and then she said, 'yeah.'

"We're all together now."

"You snagged a cellphone from a guard… that's sneaky, Enishi. Even for you."

"Well, I had to call you. It was important."

"Well… what do you want?"

"Did you hear about the races? The High School World Cup, I mean."

"… yeah, I hear about it. What's up with it?"

"She's running in it. For Japan."

"Get the fuck out."

"I'm serious. She's their top girl right now. She's running the hundred, the two hundred, the four hundred, and all the relays except for the eight-hundred relay team."

"How'd you get this information?"

"A source."

"You and your damn sources. Anyhow, is it coming on television? Because if it is, I want you to watch it if you're not out yet. And even if you are, watch it and see how much she's changed and what not. Then you have to plan better and we'll start to do what we planned… you do remember, right?"

"Yeah. We're supposed to erase everything about her."

"Bingo. If we can pull this off, when you two meet, it'll get hard for police and what not when you kill her. So you say."

"Oh, I'll kill her. Her and her little boyfriend. And those black fuckers too. Meddling and almost killing Hiroshi."

"You do know that Hiroshi hates you, right?"

"Yeah, but who cares… I'm sleepy. I think I'm going to sleep now."

"Have fun dreaming. Goodnight."

"Yeah yeah."

R.S.: And this chapter is done! Woohoo! Right before school too. I start tomorrow, and I do not want to go.

Lol but anyways. You see that Kenshin and Kaoru are getting somewhere now! They're not together, but at least they're talking. It was like a frustration release with sex between them, ya know? Make-up sex, to put it simple.

The Kamiyas that I've shown right there are going to be used further in this story. Not big parts, but they're going to have some importance to Kaoru in the long run when she needs help.

And you hear from Enishi and that mysterious voice again! And he only says part of his plan. There's way more to it than that.

Sigh School is here…. Fuck. I do not wanna go.

Chapter fourteen: The races are right around the corner and I'm about to be busted

"Let's remain focused for the task at hand! We're going to win the races and show these americans what we're about! I don't care if we're here in America! We're gonna show them that japanese people are the best!"

"Can't you just trust me? I swear I wouldn't say anything."

"Tytto, stop fighting! You'll kill him!"

"I can't belive it… we're really screwed."

"Kaoru, come home if you have to… Please."
