Wow guys thanks so much for the reviews. I was having a bit of a mental block so I'm sorry for not updating sooner. Thanks so much for reading my story this far. Fallen Sakura Chapter 8
"What did you find out?" Kaoru asked as she parried Aoshi's blow. Her answer was a grunt from her partner. They were sparring to see who the better fighter was. What she lacked in strength was matched with her speed and agility. Neither was willing to quit and admit defeat. She flipped backwards as the Kodachi swung for her stomach. "You are good but not good enough." She charged him with her Boken held in the air in striking position.
"Do you always talk so much during a battle? You become distracted," said Aoshi. He was prepared for the air attack but it never came. He was knocked to the ground by her agile roundhouse kick. He felt the Boken pointed to his neck and sighed in defeat. "Fine you win, only because I was distracted by your talking." 'Actually it was your mesmerizing beauty and flowing movements but I will never admit it,' he thought.
"Yes I did but you put up a good match. So back to my question what did you find out?" she asked. He was surprised that she wasn't gloating but decided fate was on his side.
"Misao is Enishi's cousin. She told me all we needed to know about his business. He keeps all-important documents in the eye of the white dragon in his casino's lobby. Security is minimum. He only has a few guards and security cameras. He must figure no one would go against him. So getting in won't be a problem. We can be in and out before he notices," said Aoshi.
"Why don't you go while I'm having lunch with him? So I can delay him if any trouble arises. I didn't get all the information I needed yesterday out of him because Saitoh walked in and interrupted us.' She flushed a bit in remembrance of the last part but Aoshi noticed it.
"You are getting to close to him angel. He is dangerous. You didn't kiss him did you? We are married and it wasn't part of the plan," berated Aoshi. 'I'm becoming possessive and jealous but I won't lose her to him.'
"Mou that is none of your business! What if I did, you kissed Misao and that wasn't part of the plan. We aren't even dating in real life. You have no control over me Shinomori," yelled Kaoru. 'He is jealous of Enishi. Doesn't he know it all for the mission? None of it is real. I don't even like him that way. If anyone, it would be kitten. He makes me feel warm and safe. Enishi just gave me shivers,' she thought.
"It is my business, you are my partner. I don't want you to be hurt." Aoshi knew he was taking a chance but decided it was worth it. He dropped his Kodachi and went to her side. "Angel you are one of the few people I care about. You affect me in ways no one has ever done. I actually worry about you. I never do that but somehow you became part of me,' whispered Aoshi.
Kaoru was shocked. 'It is so unlike him to show his feelings. Even though I only known him for a few days, but I care about him too. He makes me feel protected. I know I can trust him with my life. I haven't felt like this for years,' she thought. She stared into his ice blue eyes for several moments before answering. "I care about you too."
He was so relieved that she cared too. He thought about his gift and decided to give it to her now. He fumbled in his coat pockets until he found it. "Angel this is for you, Happy Birthday."
"Thank you, I forgot it was my birthday today but how did you know?" she asked.
"Your friend Lita told me. So open it already." He was anxious to see her reaction. She opened the case and found a necklace. The chain was sterling silver. The pendant was a beautiful angel. The wings were white and the dress was cyan. The head was made of pearl, her birthstone.
"It is so beautiful thank you," exclaimed Kaoru. She had Aoshi put on the necklace for her as gazed at it in the mirror. She turned to him and gave him a kiss on the lips. It sparked feelings in both of them.
"You're welcome. You better prepare for lunch it is almost noon," said a red Aoshi.
"Mou I am late. I will see you tonight, bye kitten. I'll make a special dinner for the two of us." She said as she went through the door.
'That woman's cooking will be the end of me,' he thought. 'I better get ready to invade the casino.'
* * *
"Hello, I'm sorry I'm late but I couldn't find a parking space." Kaoru was regretting meeting with Enishi. She wanted some action and not more interrogation.
Enishi looked up from his martini. "Don't worry about it. Would you like a martini? It is my special blend." ' Soon it will be all over.' His mind kept wandering to the trap set for the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Oh no. Alcohol makes me very strange." She became sad in remembrance of the last time she drank.
"No please, I insist or I won't answer your questions." He had to get her to drink it or his plan would be ruined.
'Great, I will have to or I will be wasting my time,' she thought. She took the glass from his hand and gulped it down. That was all that was needed to get her going. "What do you think of me? I think you like me," slurred Kaoru.
He was surprised she was drunk already. 'I just have to wait for one hour until the drug takes affect. I'll have to humor her until then,' he thought. "Oh yes I'm very attracted to you. You are an extremely beautiful woman. I want you to be mine," stated Enishi.
"Silly puppy, I'm sorry but I don't feel the same. I think you're cute but nothing compared to Aoshi. Now that is a man…" she ranted. Enishi was seething. He would have slapped her if she weren't so gorgeous.
"Damn her for comparing me too him. It doesn't matter, I will make her my pleasure slave,' he thought. "Why don't we go for a ride to my headquarters? We can talk more privately."
"Sure but you have to tell Aoshi I'm there. I can't be separated from him. How far is it? Will I need anything?" She continued her questions. 'I am so drunk but what is this other feeling. My gut instinct is telling me something but my mind is too blurry to comprehend it. I will have to wait until it wears off. I'm glad alcohol doesn't stay in my system for too long. I'll have to try concentrating on my mission,' she thought.
"Don't worry he will meet you there. It takes a while to drive there so let's hurry," commanded Enishi.
"Okay do key, Enishi Wishi." She continued her rhymes until she was in his car. He locked the doors and sped off. They were driving at break neck speeds. The car ride was filled with her nonsense but he ignored it all.
"You are mine now Sakura Tankuni."
She realized her cover was blown but blacked out as the drug finally kicked in.
Okay so how is it so far? I promise to update a bit sooner next time. I need to work on battle scenes and more interactions. Another thing is the chapters might go up in rating due to some graphic details. But it should still be okay for mature readers. Well thanks and keep those reviews coming I want to break 60 reviews this chapter. SO please READ and REVIEW. Until next time ciao.
