Author's Notes: Tsuki and Enishi… well, they get some fun in this chapter. Tsuki, I hope you like this one!

Chapter 9: No time for words

~*~*~*~*~*

Kaoru looked about her self in worry as she hugged her self tighter as the cold went through her kimono. It was hardly a day after that incident, and she was still worrying about what the people she knew where going to do to get her back. She didn't want to go back, but she didn't a want a war to broke out between the two worlds. That would have to be stopped.

Kenshin was with his parents, learning more on the "noble and royal court work, which was "too" confusing for Kaoru to understand, or at least what she got from Megumi. She didn't understand how Sano could like her, he told Kaoru no more then an hour ago, while he was as drunk as a sailor. With her laughter of "hohoho's" and fox ears coming up when ever she was thinking of something crafty… but, that was what made the women likable, her crafty attitude and looks, she was also a woman to look up to.

Misao, and Tsubame, they were young, like her, and still needed growing, both physically and emotionally. But were still fun to hang with.

Tomoe and Akira, they were the ones she was most afraid of, but also the ones she wanted most to get to know. They were Narks, her people, and she wanted to know them, know what's happening in the world below, the news, speak in the nark language… she wanted to do it all! And nothing was going to stop her, if she hadn't had this silly fear! If only… It was all to confusing to her, especially now.

"Its you again!" Kaoru paused, and hid behind a tree, looking out to see Enishi and… Tsuki, glaring at each other, before Tsuki gained the most of sinister looks.

"While, handsome, long time no see, huh?" she said, winking at him suggestively. Enishi just looked at her, confused for a moment before getting the message and blushing softly. "I'll take that for a yes. How about it?"

Kaoru knew Tsuki was serious, never before had she seen her friend act like this, to any one, or thing for that matter! The two went off—well, it was more like Tsuki dragging Enishi with her to the small cottage that the girl was staying at while she was there.

When they were gone, Kaoru doubled over with laughter as she leaned against the tree, tears spilling over as she continued to laugh. "I don't see what's so funny," a voice regarded from the darkness as Kaoru gasped as she found her self looking as a male correspondent of Tsuki, only, like I said, male. This guy was a hunk with dark tanned skin and eyes and hair, all seemed to a mix of wild amber dressed in dark forest green. "A brother usually doesn't like to see his sister drag a man off to go have sex."

"That's what's so funny about it," Kaoru replied, slowly, not wanting to get into any mess with the experienced warrior. She stood up slowly to, an amber eye looking at her as she did so.

"I'm not going to hurt you, my job is to watch my sister, not to capture you, that is everyone else's job. But, it was yesterday that they meet, walking at dusk, and bumping into each other. They fell to the ground, in one of the suspicious positions. They blamed each other and stomped off. That wasn't funny too, but I suppose you and others would think so as well, right?"

"Depends on the person."

"Ah, I see. I must be going, and just to say, your dragon-lover is coming. Good day." He bowed and vanished just as quickly as he came.

"Hey kitsune, you know that Jou-chan there is a lot smarter then a lot of you?" Sano said, easily getting the attention Megumi.

"I told you not to call me that," she replied, glaring at the rooster head in response. "And how can she, tori atama, is just a country pumpkin living on the coast." She flipped some hair over her shoulder in a sign of conversation over, but Sano didn't take the message.

"She is smarter then you in something's, maybe not doctoring, but she is still smart, and dissing her like that. Not fair at all."

"Hmm., she doesn't look the part all that much you know."

"So? She's all that she is on the inside, nothing else matters but what they…" Sano trailed off as he spotted something on her skin, a tattoo of a scorpion. "What's that…?" he pointed to the tattoo.

"Oh this dumb old thing. Everyone in my family has one, and I don't like it at all, or our history. I mean, this whole war between my family and this other family, it's just juvenile, and wrong. Why can't we just make peace."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Our of the other family?"

"Yeah, the last generation so far, unless my ma and pa have any more kids, which is quite unlikely."

"And we have the same thoughts—"

"On only some things."

"I may agree with you on 'Jou-chan' actually."

"Aoshi-sama! Why can't you come with me for a walk?" begged Misao, pleading with the stone-faced Aoshi.

"Because I'm meditating," came his reply.

"And what kind of excuse is that?"

"Mine."

"You are in a infuriating man!" Misao turned to leave, but Aoshi stopped her with a hand and words.

"Just give me a few more minuets and I would be glad to walk with you."

"This is for you," Yahiko said, holding out a flower to Tsubame, who excepted it with a shy smile and blush.

"Thank you Yahiko-kun," Tsubame smelled the flower, before looking out over the beach to the rising moon. "Its beautiful, ne?"

"Yeah," Yahiko said, but he wasn't looking at the sky. "Very beautiful."

Tomoe looked at Akira with an even glare as they looked at each other. The reason they were fighting, Akira being a little out into space and not paying attention to his fiancée. "And what's with all your thinking? You aren't even paying attention to me like you used to!"

"You wouldn't understand…"

"I would if you told me!"

"You really want to know? Then I shall tell you. The soft war of worlds is coming…and the messiah is going to be in the middle of it with her dragon lover."

"You mean out messiah? The one who escaped?"

"Hai. She is the little red heads wife."

Tsuki snuggled closer to Enishi as they lay, tired in her bed after a night of passion. She didn't know what made her feel this way to him, let alone what made her think of doing this. This man confused her, and that feeling lead to this new one that confused her even more.

The same with Enishi, but he knew what it was. But it was strange to him, for he had never seen any one fall in love at first sight, let alone himself, but he wasn't complaining.

With lost thoughts, the two lovers fell off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*

AN: I promised myself that I would put in a scene between Tsuki and Enishi at some time, and so, I did… I do like Megumi; I just don't like the fact that she keeps trying to snag Kenshin for herself.

Okay, only one review for the last chapter, but, I didn't email Tsuki about the old chapter until today, but any way.

Jay: Yeah, the Sano can be an idiot sometimes, but at others, he is a great guy. And the dragon in Kenshin, well, he'll some up soon enough, though, he might not be what any one expects. ^.^

Thank you for reviewing!
