A Twist of Fate - Chapter 6

Kenshin awoke to find Kaoru snuggled in his arms, sleeping soundly, and his arms were wrapped around her small frame. She murmured softly into his exposed chest, and snuggled closer into his warm embrace. He gently stroked her hair, pushing the messy bangs away from her eyes. "Kaoru." He called softly.

Kaoru stirred, then moaned softly. "A few... more minutes....." then buried her face into his gi.

Kenshin sighed. "How about a little wake up call huh ?" he said and cupped her chin in his hand, and drew her face closer to his; their moist breath mingled with each other, and Kenshin pressed his lips onto Kaoru's, instantly gaining her attention. Once again, Kaoru was lost in a wave of strong feeling, and then her instinct took over from her still half-asleep mind. Her tongue prodded curiously on his closed mouth, begging for entrance, to which he obliged, and gladly too, and as their tongues engaged in a hot dance, his hands pried off her yukata, at the same time taking off his gi, and pressing her soft body against his chest.

Kaoru moaned softly, out of breath already, and Kenshin broke off from her, but continued kissing her, expressing the many powerful emotions running through his body at the time; down her chin, into the depression in her neck, onto her collarbone.... when Kaoru pushed him away abruptly, coughing blood again, this time more than the previous one. "Kao... Kaoru, daijoubu-ka ?" Kenshin asked nervously.

She coughed a few more times, her face reddened, then replied, "Aa... daijoubu. "

Kenshin narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so... I may have a hunch on this... but I can't be sure... " He looked away. No... I don't want her to leave me, not now... not yet ! Please... Kami-sama.... not that.... anything but that.... please....

Kaoru looked at Kenshin, a puzzled look on her face. Kenshin shook his head violently. "Iya, its nothing." Then he helped her close the front of her yukata, and then stepped out of the futon. "I'll go and prepare breakfast first..." he narrowed his eyes. "Then we'll go down and see a doctor." His expression softened again. "Ok ?" he smiled down at Kaoru, still lying in the futon.

Kaoru nodded. "Ok." She waited until Kenshin was out the door before letting her true emotions run through her body. Oh God.... now then I've realized.... how much he really wants to hold me.... and how much I want to hold him back.... why ? Why did I have to fall for the Hitokiri Battousai ?! She pondered the thought for a while. Actually, come to think of it, he does seem kinda cute, now that I've got to know him better and all, and... although it's been very rushed, it just seems... so.... right... !

She sighed at the thought, the thought of Kenshin holding her in his arms, cradling her to sleep did seem right, at least to her. But what did it matter ? They were alone in a secluded house on top of a hill. Heck, they could do whatever they wanted ! * blush *

She quickly got changed into her normal gi and hakama, and walked to the kitchen where Kenshin was preparing breakfast.

~~**~~

Kaoru yawned and stretched as she walked into the kitchen. "Ohayo Kenshin...." she said a bit sleepily.

Kenshin chuckled without turning to face her. "Didn't you get a wake up call from me ?"

Kaoru turned red instantly at that, remembering what they'd been doing together for the past few minutes. "Ha.... hai....."

Kenshin then grinned maliciously. "Aww cumon ! I know you want another one." Kaoru turned redder. "Huh ? How about it ?" Kenshin grinned mischievously.
