Chapter Six of: Of Swords and Strangers. (OSAS)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A blush came to the wanderers cheeks and he looked away. "Yes, actually, thank you."
"No, no. Don't thank me. I wasn't going to say you were beautiful, I was just asking." Yuuki said with another one of his cheesy grins. Kenshin looked back at him, his eye twitching in anger, not because he was full of himself, but that he made a fool out of himself.
"Well isn't that nice of you?"
"I was kidding, you know. Just getting a rise out of you, I really do think you're beautiful."
Trying to get out from under his arms, Kenshin ducked his head and made a dash for it. It wasn't a very successful dash, but a dash none-the-less. His wrist was grabbed in strong hands and pulled roughly. He stumbled slightly and found himself flush up against Yuuki.
"Why is it you insist on doing this?" Yuuki asked, purring it into his ear, which sent a shiver down the other swordsmen's spine. "I..." He said, adding the effect of suspense and drama to his words, he knew the art of seduction, and he knew it well. It seemed as if it was working, because Kenshin had closed his eyes, his arms braced against his chest. "I want to take your pains away. I want to help you through this mess, so let me take your mind off of it."
...Why was he actually considering saying yes? Kenshin looked up with his violet eyes, looking into the emerald ones of the stranger. That was a bad idea, since he now felt like saying yes even more. "But..." His eyes felt so heavy, and his senses were dulling, no... they were being suppressed. But if he wasn't doing that, then who or what was?
"Just leave everything to me..."
That suppressing of the emotions was there again... there was something wrong. He suddenly pushed Yuuki away, wide-eyed. "What are you doing to me?" His body wouldn't respond, and he found himself on the ground, under Yuuki.
"I was planning on seducing you, then following through with my plan, but you leave me no choice, Battousai." He slipped something into his mouth, leaned down, and kissed Kenshin hard, making him swallow the object that had been in his own mouth. But that wasn't all, Yuuki also pulled out a vile of distasteful-looking, grayish-green liquid, and pressed it to his lips. Yuuki stroked his throat, making him swallow the thick substance, since Kenshin, himself, could not move a single muscle. "You see, once you swallow all of this, it will react with the pill in your stomach, and then you'll be mine."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The night went on slowly from there, on, and once Yuuki left the room, Kenshin was able to move again, although, not very much. His stomach was already starting to hurt, and he leaned against a wall, panting as he broke out in a slight sweat. He had heard of the one that travels from city to city, killing off the strongest of warriors there, and then moving on to the next. He had a special power that was much like the power that Jinei had had, except one difference. The person being ensnared in the trap had to have let their guard down, had to be somewhat emotionally confused. And that's just what had happened to him.
It all made sense now. He now knew why Yuuki had tried to hard to get close to him, to kiss him, and seduce him.
I'm so stupid, the red-head cursed his self; I should have seen this coming. He hadn't known this would happen, he lacked in the ability to control his sexual feelings, and being with Saitou, and kissing him, had just made it easier for him to be ensnared. He hadn't been in a relationship after Tomoe. He had hardened his heart to the world and emotions, but once he had found he had a liking for men, it made him crash back to square one.
The pain was getting worse, it was burning, and it was starting to circulate through his body. He could feel it in his blood system now; he could feel it going throughout his entire body. And his head, oh his head was throbbing and aching. He didn't know if he would be making it out of this alive. But Yuuki had said that he would be his. That could have meant many things. It could have meant that he would be his to kill; it could have meant that he was his to violate as he pleased.
Gasping suddenly, he doubled over as the most excruciating pain he had ever felt rushed through his system, tearing him apart, it seemed. He literally felt that if he moved an inch, his limbs would slowly start to fall off, or his stomach would fall out of his own body. How long had it been; seconds, minutes, hours? It seemed like this chemical within his body was working fast, and the pain multiplied with every movement-every thought- even.
"Sai...tou. Nnn!" He cried out, his mind was failing him. Why... why was he in pain? Wait... Why was he in this room? Why was he doubled over? What was his name? What was he just thinking?
The pain began to subside and he blinked slowly. His breathing began to calm and his violet eyes, narrow and serious looked about. He couldn't conjure up a single thought. He couldn't even wonder where he was. He could smell, hear, taste, touch, and see perfectly fine, but his mind could not register anything.
Smiling coyly, the green haired stranger walked forward, admiring his handiwork. He knelt and lifted the chin of the lifeless man-slayer. Well, he supposed, not completely lifeless, as he was breathing and his eyes were moving. He gently kissed unresponsive lips and stroked the side of his soft face. "Battousai."
Instantaneously, the world seemed to come back to Kenshin, and he was able to think again, move again, and recall what he knew...which wasn't very much. He knew he needed his sword, and he looked around for it quickly. The stranger in front of him held the sword of the Battousai out, offering it to the red-headed man. "Looking for this?"
He snatched it away, untrusting of this person. He looked down at his glorious sword, but it was not the sakabatou, the reverse-bladed sword; it was a plain, simple, yet strong and deadly sword. Of course, not even a thought of a reverse-blade sword popped into his mind as he ran deft fingers along the hilt, then grasped it. He let go, and then grasped it again, getting the feel of it back into his mind, memorizing it.
Yuuki helped him to his feet and he, once again, grasped his sword, but this time he drew it, with all the swiftness he had learned and remembered from long ago, fresh in his mind. The blade was beautiful, he thought, and he relished the shining, sharp object in his hands. Yuuki, smirking behind him, watched.
'Yes. The Battousai is back, and under my control, I cannot be defeated now. Just look at the way his eyes shine as he thinks about using that weapon. My plan is successful, and the man-slayer is back. None of that petty wanderer shit he got into. Oh no, good talent should not go to waste.'
"Battousai... Kenshin," he uttered softly in a purr. The one in front of him turned, facing him with a deadly stare, the stare of the man-slayer that he had longed to see. This served to make him smirk wider, and he drew the Battousai close. "Let's get you changed."
Without a word, he led him to the closet of Kenshin's room. He had done some searching while Kenshin was out, and looked around his room a lot, searching for things he could use against him, things that would aid him. When he found Kenshin's old clothes, he was quite astounded, yet excited all the same, and this is what he led his pet to.
"Choose what you wish."
Narrowed, hard violet eyes stared at the choices. Most of it was a pinkish purple color, which he detested greatly, but as he moved most of the clothing aside, he found none other than his blue outfit, the one he knew and remembered. He picked it up, and placed it over his arm, not catching the devilish smirk that came from Yuuki as he picked up the articles of clothing.
"Good choice." A deadly stare was laid upon him and he nearly flinched, but held his ground. He understood why Kenshin seemed to be so angry with him. He was, in fact, babying him.
The Battousai slowly began to disrobe himself, and rid himself of the pink attire he had been wearing before, kicking it aside distastefully. It seemed as if he didn't even have any modesty while he changed in front of the other. He knew that the man was weaker than him, and that he could prevent any attack from happening. A bold man he is, Yuuki thought, admiring the others' body and instincts. But he doesn't realize that I own him, and he will listen to me.
Once the man-slayer was completely dressed, he was about to say something when he pulled out his hair tie, and started to redo his hair. Of course, Yuuki twitched slightly, impatiently, and tried not to show he was getting angry. Then again, he wasn't prepared to look back up to see the sexiest thing he's ever seen. Instantly, he wanted to touch that man, and do things he hadn't thought of before, but he reminded himself that this was no such time to think such things... although that never stopped him before.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day, Saitou showed up at the door, knocking gently, and waiting patiently, but he didn't get what he was expecting. In fact, quite the opposite, no one came to the door at all. He let himself in, and wandered down the hall, peeking into rooms, and listening for sounds, but even Kaoru's room was empty, and if he wasn't mistaken, she was severely ill. What was even more peculiar, was that the medicine, that was assumed to be Kaoru's, was still where it sat, and even he knew one should take their meds with them at all times, just in case. So then what was going on here? Where were Kenshin and Kaoru? And where, more importantly, was Yuuki?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Scythe: hhhoolllly crap this was fun to write. I know you all hate me for being so mean to Kenshin. But, oh my, what has happened to our innocent wanderer, and where is everyone?! AHHHHH!!! I know you're all going insane with wonder. Too bad, you'll have to wait for the next chapter. ^^ Please continue to review, and damn, when I said review, I didn't mean go back and review every chapter XDDDD though that's fine with me ^^. Forgive me for its slight shortness, but the long paragraphs make up for it... right? ;; and the quick updating.. yeah ;;;;;;; *brain dead*
