A few hours later:
Kaoru pushed the shoji door aside as she stepped out of her room.
"There! I wonder what he thinks of this. It's almost done but.", she said
to herself as she admired her handiwork she had done on the gi. She felt
her cheeks begin to redden as she recalled the times when she just held
Kenshin's gi close to her, inhaling his scent.
'Now I really am starving', she thought as she walked towards the kitchen to find the owner of the clothing in her hand. What she saw when she reached the kitchen came as a shock for her: the groceries were still in the counter and dinner wasn't prepared. 'Wha-' She checked the other places of the house only to find out that its state hadn't changed since she arrived home in the afternoon. "I wonder where Kenshin is. It's not like him to leave chores like this." She didn't panic like earlier thinking that he had left. She could sense his presence somewhere in the house so she continued searching.
Kaoru found him in the backyard practicing sword techniques. There was something different about his that she couldn't quite put her finger on. As she kept on watching him, she realized how handsome he is. Beautiful even for a man. The last rays of the setting sun cast a glow on his red hair, making him seem ethereal. From the opening of the gi, she could see his well-developed chest and the way his muscles shifted in response to his movements. His movements graceful and precise. 'Since when did he get that new gi? Not that I'm complaining, it matches his hair."
Kenshin noticed her presence and stopped just as he was about to swing his sakabatou. But instead of the friendly rurouni smile that he often gave her, she was shocked to see him give her a smile that she had never seen before. A feral smile. Kenshin sweathed his sword slowly and shook his flame-red hair. Kaoru almost dropped the half-mended gi she was holding as Kenshin began to walk towards her direction, his gaze never leaving her face.
"K-ke-kenshin. Anooo. I w-was just wondering why there isn't anything for dinner. I'm h-hungry," Kaoru mentally kicked herself for stammering acting like a nervous wreck. "Aren't you hungry, too? I mean, it's almost din---"
She stopped in mid-sentence as she felt Kenshin had inched himself towards her to the point that his face was just an inch apart from hers. From that position, Kaoru could feel his breath on her cheeks and his scent, a mixture of sweat and something undeniably Kenshin, went straight to her head, clouding her senses.
"So.", Kenshin began, "koishii is hungry." His hands began to travel to her hips, bringing her close to his solid form.
'Koishii!!!! Naaani?!' Kaoru's brain screamed. 'Something is definitely wrong with him!'
Kenshin ignored the fear in Kaoru's eyes. "I'm quite hungry, too.", he said silkily. "Especially now as I look at you"
'Kami-sama! He's going to kiss me! He's going to. he's going to.' How long she had dreamed for this to happen. And now Kenshin was here. Making her dreams come true.
In a split-second, Kenshin had closed the gap between them. His lips hungrily claiming hers as his hands were wrapped tightly around her. Kaoru gave in to her feelings and allowed herself to be lost in the softness and passion of the kiss. There was so much passion that Kaoru had to pull back, gasping for breath. Kenshin, however, again took her lips into his but this time, coaxed her mouth open with his tongue. The invitation was welcomed by Kaoru and soon, they were exploring the sweetness of each other's mouth.
As the passion continued to increase once more, Kaoru took hold of Kenshin's black gi and unconsciously tried tugging it off. Kenshin smiled in satisfaction at the young girl's bold feat and trailed his kisses lower, soliciting a moan from Kaoru. He pushed himself closer to her and this caused Kaoru to successfully push the gi off his shoulders.
"Oro?!" The kiss was broken and Kaoru opened her eyes to see a very baffled rurouni staring at her with huge purple eyes. "Kaoru-dono, what happened? Why are you staring at sessha like that?"
TBC.
