One day, Kenshin was at Kaoru's house, "studying". She giggled at Kenshin's kisses on her neck as she picked up a ringing phone. "Hello?" she spoke into it, chuckling. Kenshin was now nosing the hair on the ape of her neck. She listened and answered, "Yes. This is Kamiya Kaoru." She listened some more. Her face fell. "I see, yes....okay....okay...I'll see you then. Bye." She put the phone down. Kenshin kissed her and asked, "Who was it?" Kaoru pushed him and his kiss away, and answered, "Kenshin, I need to tell you something."

Kenshin sat down, concerned. She paced in front of him. "When I was little, my parents, they arranged a marriage for me." Kenshin paled.

"And he just arrived at the airport. That was his father. I am to pick them up at the airport." She wiped away some tears. "I'm sorry Kenshin! I love you! But...you have to go home now. I'll call you..." Kenshin gave her a kiss.

"I love you too. Good bye." He picked up his things and left.

-------------------------++++----------------------

Kaoru got dressed up after Kenshin left. She wiped her tears away. She had never even met this guy before! And she was supposed to marry him? She squirmed into a little sky blue dress. She tied her hair up with a ribbon. She slipped her feet into platform sandals. She grabbed her purse and looked in the mirror. She looked good, sadly enough.

She considered looking awful to drive these people away, but she decided that would disgrace her family.

She climbed into one of her cars, and drove sullenly to the airport. There, she looked around for the two men. She saw a father with a son about her age, and started to walk towards them, when a lady came up and kissed the man. The wife of her fiancé's father was dead. She searched until she found a well groomed middle aged man with a very handsome companion, just her age.

"Seijirou Hiko?" she asked the older man tentatively. He nodded and motioned to his son. "Also Seijirou Hiko?" she asked. The son nodded and she held out her hand. The father shook it, but the son lifted it to his lips and kissed her fingers. She was repulsed at being kissed by anyone but Kenshin, but she put on a smile and introduced herself.

They informed her they had their baggage and they loaded up her car and left. The younger Hiko sat in the front with her, while the older man sat in the backseat.

----------+++---------

Kenshin sat on his bed, depressed. Hours ago he had found out his love had a fiancé. He sighed. The phone rang, and he grabbed it right away. "Hello?" he practically shouted into the phone.

Kaoru cringed. "Kenshin it's me."

"Oh. So how did the......you know, thing go?"

Kaoru flopped onto her bed. "Well at least his dad left. Horrible! That boy is so...so..."

Kenshin sat up straight. His eyes narrowed at Kaoru's tone. "What did he do?"

"Oh Kenshin, he was wonderful!"

"Oro!"

"He was polite, handsome, funny, handsome, nice, and oh so handsome!"

"I GET IT I GET IT!!!"

"I have to got o dinner with him tomorrow night, though. I'm sorry."

"But tomorrow is-" Kenshin flopped down desolately. 

"I know...Our one month anniversary. I'm sorry Kenshin. I couldn't say no."

Kenshin opened the two boxed on his bedside table. " It's all right, Kaoru. I understand. We can do it the next night."

"I promise, Kenshin, I do."

"All right then.....Bye."

"'bye."

And they hung up. Kenshin stared at the contents of his boxes. A long one held a long stemmed rose and a lovely gold necklace set with a sapphire.

The other held a diamond ring.

The next night

---------=-=-=-====-----------------------------

Kaoru sadly sat on her bed, wearing nothing but a robe from her shower. Hiko was going to take her out to a very classy resteraunt. On her anniversary. She threw her face into a pillow and screamed.

Hiko came into the room. "I heard you scream, are you all right?" Kaoru sat up. She looked a mess.

He was grinning amusedly. She glared at him. What was so funny? He cleared his throat and said, "Your robe-" She looked down and saw her robe had opened up. She blushed and fixed it. He turned to leave.

Kaoru had not mentioned to Kenshin that Hiko was staying with her, living in the room next to hers for the next three weeks. School was out, so she wasn't able to escape to see Kenshin.

She brushed her hair until her locks fell in long, shining waves. She applied makeup. Her lips were a bright crimson, and her nails matched perfectly. She put on brown eyeliner that accented her skin. She put on her evening dress. It was black, and fell to her ankles. It had slight slits on both sides. The back was nonexistent, and the front was very low-cut. The material draped over he breasts and around the back. The material was a flowing silk. It hugged her hips  and her bust, and when she turned, it sparkled. She wore matching shoes, and she wore silver jewelry. She left her hair down.

She sighed and grabbed a black purse and threw on black heels. "Ready, Hiko?" He stepped out of his room dressed in a tuxedo. "Yes." She fumed inwardly. This was going to be a long night. Just remember Kenshin, she chided herself.

He drove her to a fancy restaurant. He guided her inside, and she recoiled. He had not put his hand on her back, but actually inside the folds of cloth and had grasped her bare waist.

He seemed put off, but then said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize..." Kaoru shot him a appraising glance, and murmured, "It's all right."

They finally were seated, and she leaned over to talk to him. He listened, his eyes downcast.

Come on, lean over...just a little bit more....he thought to himself. Oh no, he was't listening, he was staring at her cleavage, which was revealed due to the low, low, low neckline.

Their dishes arrived, and Kaoru leaned back. Hiko sighed and picked up his fork.

+++

Kenshin sat alone on his bed. He was trying to read an American book. It was called "To Kill a Mockingbird". He did not understand a lot of the words, for they didn't seem to be in any English he ever learned.  He tried not to think about Kaoru, but he couldn't help it.

He wondered about who this guy was, what he did, what he was doing. To Kaoru. HIS Kaoru.

+++

When they had finished dinner, Hiko led Kaoru to the car. When they arrived again at her house, they walked in. He followed her to the upper level, then down the hall. Kaoru wondered if he was following her, but decided he was only trying to get back to his room.

She entered her room, and he followed her. She didn't notice this until she heard the door slam shut. She whipped around. Hiko locked the door.

"You know, you look really pretty tonight." Hiko licked his lips. She backed off.

"Don't do this, Hiko," warned Kaoru. Hiko approached her, taking off his blazer and undoing his tie. "I thought you were better than this!" she pleaded as she backed into the corner.

"Hah! It was all a play, to fool my father! Obsessed with honor, and respect, hah!" Hiko untucked his shirt.

Kaoru was a master in sleight of hand. She opened her purse and dialed up Kenshin(speed dial #1! ^_^) on her cell phone. She put the phone behind her as she pretended to plead with the maddened Hiko.

+=+

Kenshin sat up as he heard the phone ring. "Hello?" he asked into it. He heard muffled voices.

"No Hiko, don't!"

"You Kamiya whore, I'll get you!"

He listened.

"Hiko, this is my house!"

Okay, so they were at Kaoru's house.

"Yeah, with no one home!"

Okay, so they were alone.

"This is even my bedroom!"

Bedroom. Got it. Kenshin hung up the phone and ran for his car.

+-=-+

Kaoru kicked out, high heeled shoes connecting with Hiko's shin. He cried out and rushed at her. He tore her dress from her shoulder, snarling. "I'll make you pay for that, you bitch!"

Kaoru pummeled at his chest and face with her tiny hands, but Hiko was too big and strong. He picked her up and threw her out of the corner, snarling.

He grabbed her arms and sat on top of her, grinning madly. She tried to put up a struggle, but Hiko was too strong for her, and quickly overpowered her. He leaned down and licked her cheek. "I have you now, my pretty little slut!" he tood her up and commanded her to undress. She refused, grabbing the closest thing to her, a book. He commanded, "Take off the dress or I will for you!"

She again refused, chucking the book at his head. He dodged this easily and grabbed her. He tore off her dress and undergarments, and was taking off his pants. Kaoru was screaming, screaming.

And Kenshin entered the room.
