To Peach.
Knight In Shining Armor Chapter Three
Kaoru awoke feeling too warm. She could feel an arm across her waist holding her close to someone's body. Then suddenly it all came back to her. Kenshin was holding her, and he was holding her too damn close. She stood up with a start, waking Kenshin up who had never been able to sleep so deep in years.
"What are you doing!?" Kaoru practically screeched.
"What do you mean, what I'm I doing?" He said wanting to kill her for waking him up with a start, and then realizing what she meant, "You where the one that hung to me!"
"Bullshit! I would never do that! You're a son of a bitch! You thought you could get your hands on me so quickly!?"
Kenshin stood up to face her. His eyes glowing in a golden shade, but she didn't care. "So the little bitch knows dirty words. If I would want touch you, believe me you would be cowering in pain right now because I would rape you so mercilessly you would think you're dying." he said in a very low voice cold as his eyes.
"You would rape me? I'd like to see you try!" she said standing up on her toes. He crushed his body to hers and pined her against the wall that was so close to her back.
"I can try just now!"
"You dare touch me-"
"I'm touching you" he whispered. His lips almost touching her ear. She could barely move. He had he pinned to the wall, and he was pressing against her so hard she wondered how she could breath. His tongue suddenly delved on her ear, and she shuddered, feeling too good, but not wanting to admit it.
"Get your fucking body off me, and stop licking my ear. It's disgusting!"
"Say it in a nice tone and maybe I'll think about it. You're helpless now you know. It all depends on if I want to or not."
"No, It depends on whether you can take me to your bed when I'm disgusted by you."
"I can.I know you aren't"
"Why, you're an arrogant bastard. Take your fucking hands of my breasts right now!" she said at the first contact of his hands cupping one of her breasts.
"You love my touch."
"Love your touch! I'm sickened by it!!" she said practically screaming it in his ears. He let her go. He knew she loved it when he touch her, but he wasn't going to take her, when Hiko said explicitly that any man that take a woman to his bed unwillingly will be deprived of ever using a weapon. His sword was to dear to him. He would die without it. And she, she was just another woman in a million. But he didn't dare admit that she wasn't. She was totally different. Any other woman would be delighted to have him for her first time, and he was sure she was virgin, but this one, this one openly denied it.
He banged on the door a little too loud. The door opened and he went out leaving Kaoru panting as she slid to the floor. She thought about what he said. She knew it felt deliciously wonderful when he cupped her breasts, but she won't admit it. To hell with him. She was still a little too surprised that she had actually spent a whole night hugging him, cuddled in his warmth. He had felt so good, and she felt so disgusted that she had actually liked it.
She stood up, wondering what to do. The room was empty but for a small and thin mattress and a table that had absolutely nothing in it. The room's windows were too small for a person to fit in them, but enough for a little bit of light to come in. She felt secluded and it was a horrible feeling.
Hiko was in the dining room when Kenshin came in with a deep scowl and a worry line in his brow. "What are so you upset about?" Hiko asked. It was long before Kenshin answered although, he already suspected the answer.
"She's a bitch. I'll never want anything to do with her."
"Why the sudden change of heart?" Hiko asked, trying to make a serious face and not laugh.
"She's the most complicated thing in this world. She does something and behaves this way, and then suddenly she acts the contrary."
"I see. And so that's why you don't like her, because she didn't let you touch her."
"Hell but I want her. It's the most strangest thing ever. I want her but I don't. And I don't even know which one is greater." He said ignoring what Hiko just said.
"Desire is usually stronger, specially in you." Hiko said realizing how blatantly he ignored his last remark
"Forget it. I'm not going back to her, I'm going to another room. I'll ask Aoshi to guard her. Have I your permission?"
"Alright"
During the rest of the breakfast he said not another word to Hiko who kept smiling, but Kenshin didn't see that for his eyes were glued to his plate thinking on only one thing "You disgust me!" He couldn't take her tone and face out of his head. She said it with such a force that made him doubt if she really did like it when he touched her.
Just when he finished with his breakfast he stood up from the table almost throwing the chair to it's back and not even worrying whether it fell or not. Hiko only looked at him, smiling his usual easy grin, that said far too much.
Kenshin walked through the small garden all the way to were the squires where practicing along with their master knights. He saw Aoshi talking to a lovely girl. But she didn't look older than thirteen. She kept smiling at Aoshi which he found utterly weird since Aoshi is so serious he makes everyone around him serious.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Aoshi, you're taking care of the girl."
"What girl?" he said, praying to God it wouldn't be the one who was just behind him. Since the moment she saw him, she hadn't stopped talking, and Aoshi was too nice to make her shut up. He paid no attention though, he tried to make a face of utter enjoyment without even smiling.
"What other girl do we have that needs to be guarded Aoshi!?"
"Alright, so that girl, but what are you so mad about now?"
"Nothing you would understand. Just do your job and guard her."
"Hiko said you were to do it."
"Hiko changed of mind." He said and left.
Aoshi turned to the young girl besides him, happy to have found freedom, but not even the most happy expression on his indifferent countenance. "So you heard, I have to go now."
"Aw, can't I go and make you company?"
"No, Misao. I ought to be on guard, and I can't have you there. Sorry, but I must go now."
Misao watched him go with a frown. She hadn't seen a man more handsome than that one, and was ecstatic about him. She wondered if she had pushed him away. If he didn't like her. Even though he seemed to be paying attention, his eyes deceived him. She knew he didn't want to hear any of what she told him, but he didn't want to be rude with her. She made the point not to talk to him again. He didn't want to.
Kenshin was given the room next to Kaoru's. Hiko had told him there wasn't any other room in the keep so he had to stay there, or else sleep in the grass outside. He organized his room, and a servant came to his help. Not used to having someone attend to your needs he turned to ask what did she wanted.
"Master Hiko sent me to see if you needed my help. Perhaps you would like to take a bath."
He recalled that once Hiko told him that the best thing someone ever needed was one of the woman from the household to clean your body. He decided to take a try. "Yes. I would love to have a bath."
"I'll come in just a second with the water. Do you want me to help you?" she asked, hoping that he did. It has been very long since she bathed such a strong and handsome man, and this one was handsome. He had that cold look in his eyes that made him look like a killer. Someone dangerous, and she had always been attracted to danger. She left the room, not even looking at him take off his shirt and start fumbling with his pants. She would be able to see all of him in just a while. She needed just to wait.
Kenshin took his cloth off and looked for his black silk robe to wear. He sat in the windowsill waiting for his bath to come up. In exactly five minutes, two men carried his tub and laid it on his bed. Just when he though the lady wouldn't come, he started to undress, not sure whether to wait for her to undress him, or just get in the water. He decided the later and as soon as his robe fell on the floor she came in suddenly blushed for this was the first time she'd ever seen a man completely and utterly naked. Usually they would just sit on the tub and wait for her, but this man was not on the tub, and she felt her cheeks heat.
"I'm I supposed to wait for you to undress me, or just get in the tub?" he asked, not caring at all for his nakedness.
"Well.usually you wait for me in the tub, but since you didn't I guess we'll just say it never happened."
"Alright." He said, and sat in the tub. She tried not to blush. He wasn't, so she shouldn't. She had to admit his body was even better. She didn't think the "thing" would be that way. She had never seen a man naked from waist down. They were usually covered with something. She thought the only one she would see this way would be her husband, but a boyfriend she had not, much less a husband, so she just might as well appreciate that the first time she would see a man totally naked he was gorgeous.
She started to rub his back in the sandalwood scented water and Kenshin suddenly relaxed, his guard down, that seemed to happen recently, and gave in to the feeling.
Kaoru laid on the mattress counting the stones on the wall when Aoshi came in. She thought it was Kenshin, but was surprised it wasn't.
"Who are you?"
"Aoshi."
"And.?"
Aoshi just sat there practically ignoring the question. He closed his eyes as his back laid against the door.
"Am I supposed to guess what the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm your guard."
"My guard? Wasn't Kenshin supposed to be my guard?"
"No."
She hated him. Never during this whole conversation did he open his eyes and looked at her. He kept them shut like if he didn't care about her. She closed her eyes and did the same as him, ignore him. When she woke up, he was putting a plate on the table. He said not a word just motioned for her to eat and went back to the same place and closed his eyes.
As she sat on the mattress eating, she noticed that he was awake. He was meditating, and he was tensed which means any move she made to try to escape or attack him he would know since the very beginning. She finished her food and said, "Isn't there any way I can get a book to at least do something. I'm bored."
He said not a word, but he heard her. When she fell asleep he would look for a book.
That night, Kenshin sat on his bed, delighting that this was so much comfortable to the cold floor of last night. But he knew, nothing was more comfortable than to have her in his arms. He knew that he had a deep sleep last night because of her. There was no other reason, and he knew that tonight he wouldn't be able to sleep that way because she wasn't here. Why does she keep coming to my thoughts? I want nothing to do with her! He thought, and got up from his bed, and went to look for his horse.
It was a black stallion with shiny hair and strong complexion, a war horse. His name was Battousai, and he had been with Kenshin for the past three years since he was born, and he was a wonderful horse. He galloped almost as fast as light, and the only one who could mount him was Kenshin. That horse was what brought the victory many times to them. Kenshin could destroy more than twenty enemies in less than two minutes when he was on top of that horse. And when he was on the ground, he moved so fast his opponents where unable to see him. Yet, Battousai also did his share of kicks when Kenshin wasn't on him.
"Hello man." Kenshin said, reaching his horse and giving him a sugar cube that horse so loved. "Let's go to a ride.." He said, as he started to saddle the horse. A stable boy came since he was hearing sounds on the stable and when he saw Kenshin, he went out again. Kenshin did know that he had come, but ignored him.
He led his horse out of the stable and mount him. Hiko was looking outside through his window when he spotted Kenshin on top of Battousai heading.the glen?
Kenshin wasn't aware of where he was heading. He just wanted to feel the wind, the speed. He wanted to forget about everything, to forget about her, but his horse led him to a place, a place he recognized as soon as he saw it, and what he saw surprised him.
She was there, naked, completely naked. Her hair loose, standing in the middle of the lake. She moved around the water, and Kenshin was glued to where he stood. No body could ever look more beautiful. The moonlight fell upon her giving her body a silvery glow, her hair shined like midnight blue and she.
He slowly got off his horse and led him to another place to hide him, and then he sat on a rock surrounded by bushes, so she wouldn't notice his presence. And that when he saw Aoshi. He was to the other side of where Kenshin was, and had his back to her. Kaoru had convinced him to bring her hear and he wondered how the hell did she do that.
"Hurry up Kaoru." Aoshi said, already exasperated with the girl. First he shouldn't be here, and second he could sense another presence and he didn't want to be discovered.
"Alright." She said, and walked to a rock very near Kenshin, but Kenshin never took his eyes of her. She was so close he wanted to pull her to him and take her silently before Aoshi could notice, but he knew Aoshi would always notice.
She put on her robe that glued on her body because of her wetness, and he suddenly felt jealousy. Aoshi was going to see her that way, and he couldn't do a thing. However, she looked beautiful with her robe framing her body perfectly, all curves and the perfect roundness of her breasts, and the small high peaks of hardened nipples by the cold water, with her hair reaching her hips and some strands upon her shoulders.
"Alright, lets' go." She said and started to walk back towards the keep. Aoshi followed trying to keep up with her, and then stood behind her watching the swaying of her hips, realizing that she was indeed very beautiful.
Kenshin looked towards them until their image disappeared. He looked back to the glen and decided to take a bath, to feel what she feels, and wonder why she likes it so much. He took of his shirt and pants and got into the cold water, but it felt refreshing. He laid down floating over the water and closed his eyes, this was heaven. And then and image began to form in the darkness. He saw her, bathed in golden light, like the first time he had spotted her.
Kaoru looked out the window. She was very high and she could have a perfect view of the glen here. She noticed, there was someone on the glen, and she strived hard trying to recognize who that figure belong to. It was her hiding place supposedly only she and her sister and now Aoshi should knew.
She saw the person stand up and immediately recognize him. His red hair was enough to tell you who it was. He knew about the glen, and now she wondered if he had seen her, and she blushed, hoping to heaven he didn't.
Kenshin looked up to the full moon, that reflected just where he was standing, and then he looked around at the stars. He wanted her. His mind couldn't be taken away from her. It was like a magnet. Like if she had cast a spell on him and he had fallen for it. He felt like a damn fool. With the last thought, he gathered his clothes, put them on, and rode back to the keep on his horse, Kaoru watching him all the while.
That night, she couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about him, of what he had said, and she recalled something that he said when she had asked him to forget about her sister, "Woman, there's only one woman I have eyes for right now, and it's not her," and she felt jealousy to that woman. Who could have the heart of this man who is as cold as a blizzard but at the same time as hot as hell? Could it be possible that he was interested in some woman? And then, why am I feeling jealous?
Kenshin was going through something similar. He was starting to get tired of it. Everything reminded him of her, and when he closed his eyes the image of her body in golden glow or in silver glow hunted him. He didn't sleep but until almost dawn after entertaining the thought of feeling her body beneath his.
The next day, Kenshin woke up very early like usual. He went down to the breakfast table and sat down with Hiko who was already eating. Neither Hiko nor Kenshin mumbled a word, Hiko was reading a very interested book and wasn't aware that Kenshin was there. Kenshin wanted to go back. He didn't want o be near her, near this, near anything that reminded him of Kaoru. He wanted to go back to Fairmount Hall, Hiko's castle. But he didn't want to tell Hiko that because he knew Hiko wouldn't let him.
Just as he was standing from the table to leave and start training, Hiko said, "Hey, no good morning or anything? I want to talk to you." Kenshin sat again.
"About?"
"I need you to take Kaoru today to Saitoh. You know the guy's sick, and he wants to see his daughter."
"Me? Isn't Aoshi in charged of her?"
"I don't care that you hate that woman Kenshin, but you are the one taking her to Saitoh. I need Aoshi for something else, and I trust you, and I'm counting on you. You are the only one I can trusts for this."
"Fine. When?"
"You could start by waking her up and mount her on your horse, then go."
"She's not sitting in my horse."
"Kenshin, as far as I remember, the day you captured her, you had her upon your shoulders, and she was still giving a hell of a fight. And you told me she kicked your face, the woman knows how to fight, and you know how to handle her. Any other man would treat her like shit, at least I know you wouldn't.
"Fine. When do I meet you?"
"We'll be heading there soon. I need to go to Kogoro. I have something I need to tell him. Then I will go to Saitoh. I'm thinking on staying there for a while."
"How long? Perhaps until he dies. He's very sick, you know. He's also my best friend. I want to be there for him."
"Alright." I guess I won't be getting rid of her. "Then I must go."
Kenshin went towards Kaoru's chamber. Opened the door, to find he sitting on the floor with a book on her hands. Aoshi in the other side, with his eyes closed, and as he sensed Kenshin He opened his eyes.
"Thank you Aoshi for keeping an eye on her, but I'm taking her know."
"Fine." Aoshi said, stood up and left the room. Kaoru just watched the exchange of words.
"Where am I going?"
"To your father, so move it."
"I'm not going anywhere." Kenshin pulled her up, and carried her just like before. Her book fell to the floor and she started to scream.
"Shut up will you!" He said, totally angry. "No one is going to stop me so forget it."
She did her best to make him let go of her, but he never even loosened his hold. They were standing there for a while, until a horse was in front of him. He carried her, and sat her on top of it, and then mounted behind her.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"This is my horse." He said as angry as cold as h could. Then he kicked the horse and they sped away. All the while Kaoru not wanting to relax and lay against his chest. She sat stiff and erect, tensed and completely and utterly afraid. The horse was going too damn fast, and she was scared of falling off. "Could you please relax. I have a woman in my arms not a rock." He said, wanting her to at least get comfortable. This was going to be a long ride.
Knight In Shining Armor Chapter Three
Kaoru awoke feeling too warm. She could feel an arm across her waist holding her close to someone's body. Then suddenly it all came back to her. Kenshin was holding her, and he was holding her too damn close. She stood up with a start, waking Kenshin up who had never been able to sleep so deep in years.
"What are you doing!?" Kaoru practically screeched.
"What do you mean, what I'm I doing?" He said wanting to kill her for waking him up with a start, and then realizing what she meant, "You where the one that hung to me!"
"Bullshit! I would never do that! You're a son of a bitch! You thought you could get your hands on me so quickly!?"
Kenshin stood up to face her. His eyes glowing in a golden shade, but she didn't care. "So the little bitch knows dirty words. If I would want touch you, believe me you would be cowering in pain right now because I would rape you so mercilessly you would think you're dying." he said in a very low voice cold as his eyes.
"You would rape me? I'd like to see you try!" she said standing up on her toes. He crushed his body to hers and pined her against the wall that was so close to her back.
"I can try just now!"
"You dare touch me-"
"I'm touching you" he whispered. His lips almost touching her ear. She could barely move. He had he pinned to the wall, and he was pressing against her so hard she wondered how she could breath. His tongue suddenly delved on her ear, and she shuddered, feeling too good, but not wanting to admit it.
"Get your fucking body off me, and stop licking my ear. It's disgusting!"
"Say it in a nice tone and maybe I'll think about it. You're helpless now you know. It all depends on if I want to or not."
"No, It depends on whether you can take me to your bed when I'm disgusted by you."
"I can.I know you aren't"
"Why, you're an arrogant bastard. Take your fucking hands of my breasts right now!" she said at the first contact of his hands cupping one of her breasts.
"You love my touch."
"Love your touch! I'm sickened by it!!" she said practically screaming it in his ears. He let her go. He knew she loved it when he touch her, but he wasn't going to take her, when Hiko said explicitly that any man that take a woman to his bed unwillingly will be deprived of ever using a weapon. His sword was to dear to him. He would die without it. And she, she was just another woman in a million. But he didn't dare admit that she wasn't. She was totally different. Any other woman would be delighted to have him for her first time, and he was sure she was virgin, but this one, this one openly denied it.
He banged on the door a little too loud. The door opened and he went out leaving Kaoru panting as she slid to the floor. She thought about what he said. She knew it felt deliciously wonderful when he cupped her breasts, but she won't admit it. To hell with him. She was still a little too surprised that she had actually spent a whole night hugging him, cuddled in his warmth. He had felt so good, and she felt so disgusted that she had actually liked it.
She stood up, wondering what to do. The room was empty but for a small and thin mattress and a table that had absolutely nothing in it. The room's windows were too small for a person to fit in them, but enough for a little bit of light to come in. She felt secluded and it was a horrible feeling.

"Why the sudden change of heart?" Hiko asked, trying to make a serious face and not laugh.

"Desire is usually stronger, specially in you." Hiko said realizing how blatantly he ignored his last remark
"Forget it. I'm not going back to her, I'm going to another room. I'll ask Aoshi to guard her. Have I your permission?"
"Alright"
During the rest of the breakfast he said not another word to Hiko who kept smiling, but Kenshin didn't see that for his eyes were glued to his plate thinking on only one thing "You disgust me!" He couldn't take her tone and face out of his head. She said it with such a force that made him doubt if she really did like it when he touched her.
Just when he finished with his breakfast he stood up from the table almost throwing the chair to it's back and not even worrying whether it fell or not. Hiko only looked at him, smiling his usual easy grin, that said far too much.
Kenshin walked through the small garden all the way to were the squires where practicing along with their master knights. He saw Aoshi talking to a lovely girl. But she didn't look older than thirteen. She kept smiling at Aoshi which he found utterly weird since Aoshi is so serious he makes everyone around him serious.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but Aoshi, you're taking care of the girl."
"What girl?" he said, praying to God it wouldn't be the one who was just behind him. Since the moment she saw him, she hadn't stopped talking, and Aoshi was too nice to make her shut up. He paid no attention though, he tried to make a face of utter enjoyment without even smiling.
"What other girl do we have that needs to be guarded Aoshi!?"
"Alright, so that girl, but what are you so mad about now?"
"Nothing you would understand. Just do your job and guard her."
"Hiko said you were to do it."
"Hiko changed of mind." He said and left.
Aoshi turned to the young girl besides him, happy to have found freedom, but not even the most happy expression on his indifferent countenance. "So you heard, I have to go now."
"Aw, can't I go and make you company?"
"No, Misao. I ought to be on guard, and I can't have you there. Sorry, but I must go now."
Misao watched him go with a frown. She hadn't seen a man more handsome than that one, and was ecstatic about him. She wondered if she had pushed him away. If he didn't like her. Even though he seemed to be paying attention, his eyes deceived him. She knew he didn't want to hear any of what she told him, but he didn't want to be rude with her. She made the point not to talk to him again. He didn't want to.
Kenshin was given the room next to Kaoru's. Hiko had told him there wasn't any other room in the keep so he had to stay there, or else sleep in the grass outside. He organized his room, and a servant came to his help. Not used to having someone attend to your needs he turned to ask what did she wanted.
"Master Hiko sent me to see if you needed my help. Perhaps you would like to take a bath."
He recalled that once Hiko told him that the best thing someone ever needed was one of the woman from the household to clean your body. He decided to take a try. "Yes. I would love to have a bath."
"I'll come in just a second with the water. Do you want me to help you?" she asked, hoping that he did. It has been very long since she bathed such a strong and handsome man, and this one was handsome. He had that cold look in his eyes that made him look like a killer. Someone dangerous, and she had always been attracted to danger. She left the room, not even looking at him take off his shirt and start fumbling with his pants. She would be able to see all of him in just a while. She needed just to wait.
Kenshin took his cloth off and looked for his black silk robe to wear. He sat in the windowsill waiting for his bath to come up. In exactly five minutes, two men carried his tub and laid it on his bed. Just when he though the lady wouldn't come, he started to undress, not sure whether to wait for her to undress him, or just get in the water. He decided the later and as soon as his robe fell on the floor she came in suddenly blushed for this was the first time she'd ever seen a man completely and utterly naked. Usually they would just sit on the tub and wait for her, but this man was not on the tub, and she felt her cheeks heat.
"I'm I supposed to wait for you to undress me, or just get in the tub?" he asked, not caring at all for his nakedness.
"Well.usually you wait for me in the tub, but since you didn't I guess we'll just say it never happened."
"Alright." He said, and sat in the tub. She tried not to blush. He wasn't, so she shouldn't. She had to admit his body was even better. She didn't think the "thing" would be that way. She had never seen a man naked from waist down. They were usually covered with something.

She started to rub his back in the sandalwood scented water and Kenshin suddenly relaxed, his guard down, that seemed to happen recently, and gave in to the feeling.
Kaoru laid on the mattress counting the stones on the wall when Aoshi came in. She thought it was Kenshin, but was surprised it wasn't.
"Who are you?"
"Aoshi."
"And.?"
Aoshi just sat there practically ignoring the question. He closed his eyes as his back laid against the door.
"Am I supposed to guess what the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm your guard."
"My guard? Wasn't Kenshin supposed to be my guard?"
"No."
She hated him. Never during this whole conversation did he open his eyes and looked at her. He kept them shut like if he didn't care about her. She closed her eyes and did the same as him, ignore him. When she woke up, he was putting a plate on the table. He said not a word just motioned for her to eat and went back to the same place and closed his eyes.
As she sat on the mattress eating, she noticed that he was awake. He was meditating, and he was tensed which means any move she made to try to escape or attack him he would know since the very beginning. She finished her food and said, "Isn't there any way I can get a book to at least do something. I'm bored."
He said not a word, but he heard her. When she fell asleep he would look for a book.
That night, Kenshin sat on his bed, delighting that this was so much comfortable to the cold floor of last night. But he knew, nothing was more comfortable than to have her in his arms. He knew that he had a deep sleep last night because of her. There was no other reason, and he knew that tonight he wouldn't be able to sleep that way because she wasn't here. Why does she keep coming to my thoughts? I want nothing to do with her! He thought, and got up from his bed, and went to look for his horse.
It was a black stallion with shiny hair and strong complexion, a war horse. His name was Battousai, and he had been with Kenshin for the past three years since he was born, and he was a wonderful horse. He galloped almost as fast as light, and the only one who could mount him was Kenshin. That horse was what brought the victory many times to them. Kenshin could destroy more than twenty enemies in less than two minutes when he was on top of that horse. And when he was on the ground, he moved so fast his opponents where unable to see him.

"Hello man." Kenshin said, reaching his horse and giving him a sugar cube that horse so loved. "Let's go to a ride.." He said, as he started to saddle the horse. A stable boy came since he was hearing sounds on the stable and when he saw Kenshin, he went out again. Kenshin did know that he had come, but ignored him.
He led his horse out of the stable and mount him. Hiko was looking outside through his window when he spotted Kenshin on top of Battousai heading.the glen?
Kenshin wasn't aware of where he was heading. He just wanted to feel the wind, the speed. He wanted to forget about everything, to forget about her, but his horse led him to a place, a place he recognized as soon as he saw it, and what he saw surprised him.
She was there, naked, completely naked. Her hair loose, standing in the middle of the lake. She moved around the water, and Kenshin was glued to where he stood. No body could ever look more beautiful. The moonlight fell upon her giving her body a silvery glow, her hair shined like midnight blue and she.
He slowly got off his horse and led him to another place to hide him, and then he sat on a rock surrounded by bushes, so she wouldn't notice his presence. And that when he saw Aoshi. He was to the other side of where Kenshin was, and had his back to her. Kaoru had convinced him to bring her hear and he wondered how the hell did she do that.
"Hurry up Kaoru." Aoshi said, already exasperated with the girl. First he shouldn't be here, and second he could sense another presence and he didn't want to be discovered.
"Alright." She said, and walked to a rock very near Kenshin, but Kenshin never took his eyes of her. She was so close he wanted to pull her to him and take her silently before Aoshi could notice, but he knew Aoshi would always notice.
She put on her robe that glued on her body because of her wetness, and he suddenly felt jealousy. Aoshi was going to see her that way, and he couldn't do a thing. However, she looked beautiful with her robe framing her body perfectly, all curves and the perfect roundness of her breasts, and the small high peaks of hardened nipples by the cold water, with her hair reaching her hips and some strands upon her shoulders.
"Alright, lets' go." She said and started to walk back towards the keep. Aoshi followed trying to keep up with her, and then stood behind her watching the swaying of her hips, realizing that she was indeed very beautiful.
Kenshin looked towards them until their image disappeared. He looked back to the glen and decided to take a bath, to feel what she feels, and wonder why she likes it so much. He took of his shirt and pants and got into the cold water, but it felt refreshing. He laid down floating over the water and closed his eyes, this was heaven. And then and image began to form in the darkness. He saw her, bathed in golden light, like the first time he had spotted her.
Kaoru looked out the window. She was very high and she could have a perfect view of the glen here. She noticed, there was someone on the glen, and she strived hard trying to recognize who that figure belong to. It was her hiding place supposedly only she and her sister and now Aoshi should knew.
She saw the person stand up and immediately recognize him. His red hair was enough to tell you who it was. He knew about the glen, and now she wondered if he had seen her, and she blushed, hoping to heaven he didn't.
Kenshin looked up to the full moon, that reflected just where he was standing, and then he looked around at the stars. He wanted her. His mind couldn't be taken away from her. It was like a magnet. Like if she had cast a spell on him and he had fallen for it. He felt like a damn fool. With the last thought, he gathered his clothes, put them on, and rode back to the keep on his horse, Kaoru watching him all the while.
That night, she couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about him, of what he had said, and she recalled something that he said when she had asked him to forget about her sister, "Woman, there's only one woman I have eyes for right now, and it's not her," and she felt jealousy to that woman. Who could have the heart of this man who is as cold as a blizzard but at the same time as hot as hell? Could it be possible that he was interested in some woman? And then, why am I feeling jealous?
Kenshin was going through something similar. He was starting to get tired of it. Everything reminded him of her, and when he closed his eyes the image of her body in golden glow or in silver glow hunted him. He didn't sleep but until almost dawn after entertaining the thought of feeling her body beneath his.
The next day, Kenshin woke up very early like usual. He went down to the breakfast table and sat down with Hiko who was already eating. Neither Hiko nor Kenshin mumbled a word, Hiko was reading a very interested book and wasn't aware that Kenshin was there. Kenshin wanted to go back. He didn't want o be near her, near this, near anything that reminded him of Kaoru. He wanted to go back to Fairmount Hall, Hiko's castle. But he didn't want to tell Hiko that because he knew Hiko wouldn't let him.
Just as he was standing from the table to leave and start training, Hiko said, "Hey, no good morning or anything? I want to talk to you." Kenshin sat again.
"About?"
"I need you to take Kaoru today to Saitoh. You know the guy's sick, and he wants to see his daughter."
"Me? Isn't Aoshi in charged of her?"
"I don't care that you hate that woman Kenshin, but you are the one taking her to Saitoh. I need Aoshi for something else, and I trust you, and I'm counting on you. You are the only one I can trusts for this."
"Fine. When?"
"You could start by waking her up and mount her on your horse, then go."
"She's not sitting in my horse."
"Kenshin, as far as I remember, the day you captured her, you had her upon your shoulders, and she was still giving a hell of a fight. And you told me she kicked your face, the woman knows how to fight, and you know how to handle her. Any other man would treat her like shit, at least I know you wouldn't.
"Fine. When do I meet you?"
"We'll be heading there soon. I need to go to Kogoro. I have something I need to tell him. Then I will go to Saitoh. I'm thinking on staying there for a while."
"How long? Perhaps until he dies. He's very sick, you know. He's also my best friend. I want to be there for him."
"Alright." I guess I won't be getting rid of her. "Then I must go."
Kenshin went towards Kaoru's chamber. Opened the door, to find he sitting on the floor with a book on her hands. Aoshi in the other side, with his eyes closed, and as he sensed Kenshin He opened his eyes.
"Thank you Aoshi for keeping an eye on her, but I'm taking her know."
"Fine." Aoshi said, stood up and left the room. Kaoru just watched the exchange of words.
"Where am I going?"
"To your father, so move it."
"I'm not going anywhere." Kenshin pulled her up, and carried her just like before. Her book fell to the floor and she started to scream.
"Shut up will you!" He said, totally angry. "No one is going to stop me so forget it."
She did her best to make him let go of her, but he never even loosened his hold. They were standing there for a while, until a horse was in front of him. He carried her, and sat her on top of it, and then mounted behind her.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"This is my horse." He said as angry as cold as h could. Then he kicked the horse and they sped away. All the while Kaoru not wanting to relax and lay against his chest. She sat stiff and erect, tensed and completely and utterly afraid. The horse was going too damn fast, and she was scared of falling off. "Could you please relax. I have a woman in my arms not a rock." He said, wanting her to at least get comfortable. This was going to be a long ride.
