_______________________________________________
Kenshin gazed into the eyes of Tomoe for a moment, before he brought up a hand to her face. He let it slide down, gently caressing her soft cheeks. At that point, she leaned into his touch, and one thing led to another, and she was in his arms, her head softly nestled into his shoulder. His hands were locked around her waist, smiling down at the young woman in his arms.
However, the smile was not pure joy. In fact it was barely any joy. Sure, it was a reminder that he was going to share a life with someone sweet, and kind, and tender, but he still felt that he did not belong with her.
His crystal blue eyes traveled up the hallway, before locking with Kaoru's, who looked back. Her beautiful aqua eyes pierced his soul, and he suddenly felt heart-wrenching pain. She was so beautiful...so sweet...so pure...but not his.
He closed his own eyes, and shook his head to himself, before remembering that he was still holding Tomoe. He looked down at her to see her contently resting against him, both hands on his chest. He gave a small smile, before lifting her off of her feet, and walking towards the beam of light. As he stepped into it a bright flash occurred, and he found himself in a small room, with but one door. He looked up and saw the blue light. Chuckling he realized that it was just a flame, light blue, and the beacon of light was simply a platform, going down.
He pushed his way through the door, and felt the cold breeze whip into his face. He closed his eyes, as snow burned his eyes. He could still not see perfectly clear. It was different having two different types of vision.
With his regular sight, he could fight better, seeing colors as well, and making out more descriptive features as well as being quicker to notice things. However, his second sight let him viewed a whole room, even behind him, without the turn of his head. He chuckled, and opened his soft blue eyes once more.
As he looked up and down the streets, he saw they were empty. Of course, it was Christmas Eve! Everyone would be with a family...everyone except for him. He began a brisk walk up the street, and stopped at a familiar street. He walked up it, and headed into a candle-lit hotel, and looked around. Empty. Of course. Leaning closer, he read a sign in black paintbrush posted against the wall behind the counter. It read:
- There will be no service Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, as all employees have off. If you need a place to stay, please pick a room of your choice and stay for free! Happy holidays!
-Shinaki Donutawa, President of Donutawa Hotel
He chuckled, and picked room four. As there were just two other sets of keys left, he quickly took another. Maybe staying here instead of at his normal shack would be good for once. He headed up to room five, and opened the door. Setting his swords and dagger down, he put tomoe down on his bed. After loosening up his rather tight gi, he headed back out of the room.
As he slid into room four, he placed Tomoe down on the bed. She stirred, and he chuckled. She really was pretty. He stroked her cheek once more, and leaned down kissing her on the lips tenderly. Maybe he could love her, after all. She really was nice and stunningly pretty.
'But she doesn't compare to Kaoru' a voice in the back of his head argued.
Ignoring the voice, he kissed her lips once more, but as he moved to lean out, he felt two hands come out, and press themselves against his cheek. Opening his eyes, he saw Tomoe, eyes closed, but pulling him down to her. He felt her small hands move and creep up his sides, and he let a smile frame his handsome face. Letting his mouth open to her, he immediately felt a sweetness that he would never dream of tasting. He let his tongue move into her mouth, feeling her own tongue against his.
As their kiss continued to deepen, Kenshin's eyes turned amber again, and suddenly the whole atmosphere changed: even tomoe noticed. Battousai moved his hands roughly down the small of her back, and tore off her clothes. She gasped, but did not allow the kiss to break.
Battousai continued these harsh movements, until Tomoe was naked, except for a sheet covering her from the bed. It was gray; but large enough to cover just the middle of her body, and even her lower area. However she seemed to welcome his hands against her body.
Battousai suddenly smirked, and quickly leaned down to her breasts, pulling the sheets off of her body. With nothing to hide her, she quickly put her hands in the way covering herself as he leaned in to suck on her.
She let herself glare at him, and he got the message. However, he did not heed it, and smirked. He grabbed her face and pulled her into another kiss. As their bodies entangled, Tomoe gave in, and the blankets drew around them, enveloping them in pleasurable darkness.
~'~'~'~'~
Tomoe awoke to find a sleeping Kenshin next to her. She held his gaze for a moment, staring into his crystal blue eyes, which had changed from amber last night. She couldn't believe he was the very same shy boy she had met so many years ago...
~~~~~*~~~~~
"Shinta! Come back here!"
"But mother, this flower is so beautiful! Please let me look at it a bit longer! "
She sighed darkly. It was not worth chasing him around. After all, kids are kids.
"Mother, look at this one! "
"Shinta! I said come back here! "
Suddenly she bumped into a small creature huddled up in the grass. She tripped over it, and fell, right into a patch of beautiful lilies. Shinta didn't seem to notice as he continued to frolic up ahead, grinning childishly.
As she turned her head, she suddenly realized that she had tripped over a child, huddled close to herself in the flowers.
"Gomen! Im so sorry! Please forgive me! "
The young girl just stared at her, her flickering eyes bearing into Kenshin's mother's..
"Why are you all alone? "
More silence.
"Can I help you?
Again, silence.
"What is your name? "
"Tomoe Yukishiro..."
"Where are your parents dear? "
"Dead. "
"Im so sorry to hear that! How?!"
"I killed them."
The mother, confused, gasped, and picked up the little girl. She had small eyes, and rather long hair. She was actually quite cute. However, she looked a bit unnourished. It was then she decided to take her with him.
Over the next few years, by the time kenshin was almost five, it was decided that Tomoe and Kenshin be married when kenshin comes of age.
However their journey was cut short by Shinori. At that time, Kenshin had walked away, taking his dagger with him. When tomoe tried to come, he shot a cold glare at her, a glare of amber. And he was gone.
She had never thought of finding him, but when she met Sanosuke, who was also seeking Battousai, also known as Kenshin, she knew right away she had to join up with him. Even though she rather disliked Sano.
~~~~~*~~~~~
As Kenshin awoke, he stared around. Tomoe was sitting next to him doing his hair. What? He was a little confused. He yawned, and looked around. Suddenly he realized that he was in the bathroom, in the bathtub, with a giggling, blushing Tomoe. She was scrubbing his back, with a sponge.
He gasped, and jumped out of the water. Then he realized he had no clothes on. Giggling, Tomoe gently lowered him back down into the tub, and wordlessly told him that she had taken him to the bathroom to give him a bath.
He scowled at her, but was too tired to do anything. He felt sleep deprived. He closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.
He awoke once more, and with a start looked around. He was back in bed, but with smooth hair, and he felt cleaner. Getting a bath from Tomoe was something he could never get tired of.
He stretched, and got up. Suddenly, he realized his blades were missing! Frantically, he ran across the hall, and barged through the door: forgetting of course that he had the key. He put his blades away, and suddenly it hit him. It was...
"Merry Christmas! "Shouted a cheerful voice from the hall.
He cocked his head to see a bright and cheerful Kaoru, standing in the doorway. Had she come to visit him? He felt hopes rise up in his chest, and he turned to move towards Kaoru.
However, a swift figure intercepted him, as Tomoe ran out of the doorway, basically stepping all over Kenshin, and hugged Kaoru. Kaoru...in the arms of Sanosuke. He nearly puked. As Kaoru moved inside the room to wish Kenshin the Merry Christmas too, he strode past her without a word, and exited the building.
Kaoru, hurt, turned her head and stared at him. She shrugged it off, and walked inside room four.
Kaoru turned towards Sanosuke, who was observing the room. She looked at him oddly. She wasn't sure how she felt towards Sanosuke. It was rather mixed. She knew she felt love...but not towards him. It was towards the figure that had exited the hotel room. However, Sanosuke was crazy about Kaoru, and Kaoru had to admit she did like Sanosuke, a bit more than a friend. Just a bit.
Tomoe and Kenshin, however, seemed to be flourishing. She was the first woman in about 12 years that managed to lighten him. However, she wasn't sure of that fact. She shrugged, and her thoughts were interrupted by Sanosuke hugging her around the waist.
She turned her head and smiled weakly at Sano, and bent down and kissed her. She leaned out, seductively, although she really did not want to kiss Sanosuke anymore.
She had hoped to make Kenshin jealous by kissing Sanosuke so intimately. However, when he slammed the door, she knew she made one of the worst moves in her life.
However, she was surprised Kenshin didn't remember her. She remembered their child-hood days together. How he had promised to come back to her one day. But by the look in his eyes, he did not remember much of his past. He must have forgotten it, purposely.
Good thing too, for his past was not a smooth one. In fact, it must have been the most painful she knew. Death, everywhere. She felt for him...and only wanted to comfort him with her love.
Sano pulled her tighter against his body, and sat down on a bed, pulling her with him. Sighing, she rolled over, and smiled at him, weakly again, and got off the bed.
"I have to go to the bathroom, Sano."
"I can help you there. "He grinned stupidly.
'Shuttup Sanosuke, I don't want you, I want my red-head.
"Its ok Sanosuke, I think I could manage"
When she exited the bathroom, she saw Kenshin back on the bed. He was staring at the ground, soft blue eyes warming her from the inside. He was just so handsome...and she loved his eyes.
His eyes were simply gorgeous, a crystal blue. He was the perfect figure, small, yet powerful, rough, yet gentle. He was the perfect man.
However, she wasn't hers. She fell to the bed, and sighed, staring at the parallel bed where Kenshin sat transfixed. She stretched back. She noticed Tomoe and Sanosuke were not there. Turning to kenshin she opened her mouth. However he answered before she even finished.
"Sano and Tomoe have gone shopping..."
"Hai...thank you..."
She looked into his eyes, and noticed a sad gleam in his eyes. She felt a shiver up her spine. She stared at him for a moment, and then broke the gaze. She couldn't have a relationship with him. As much as she wanted it, it would ruin everything she worked so hard for.
(Change point of view(
Kenshin sat transfixed at the ground. Although Kaoru was lying down opposite himself, he felt strangely distant from her. It was as if she were toying with his emotions. He shook his head. He was to marry Tomoe. He could not have a relationship with her.
However, he wasn't sure just how long he could hold out. She was just too close. Only then did he notice that she had come and sat beside him.
He looked into her eyes, and noticed her shiver. He smiled sadly, and stood up, and she followed suit. However, as he neared the door, to exit Room four and enter his own, he felt her stop him.
"Kenshin-san... don't you remember me?"
He looked into her eyes and searched them.
"No...Why? Have we met before?"
"Kenshin you made a promise to me years ago. You promised to come back and visit me."
"I did, did I? "
"Hai..."
"Well you can forget that promise. Kaoru. I don't love you. "
It hurt him so bad to say that, but he knew he didn't want to hurt her. Or mess up her relationship with Sanosuke. They seemed quite intimate, and he wasn't going to mess up her life. He couldn't remember making any promise to her either. Not that he had met her before.
He looked up to see her crying into the arms of a glaring Sanosuke.
