Author's Note: Thank you all so much. I really didn't expect that many people to review and ask for more of this story. Since it's not one of my better ones, but still I love this one to death as well. So I shall try and write longer and post it up once a week or more, though it'll be once when I get back to school. Grr.
THX SO MUCH!
This one has so much potential from what you all told me, thanks. I am going to spend more time on this fic as well as the others.
I hope that you are all happy now that I've decided to stay. Thanks to your encouragement. I do hope that this fic gets as many reviews as it is worth.
Someone said that they wanted Kaoru/Kenshin lime, but I can't do that until the training is over for a week and then she'll be back with her cousins. Let me explain something about the three personalities.
All three have a long connection with each other. That means that if they wanted to, they could see what the others wanted now that the other two have come out. A reason that Kanna doesn't know her cousins is because she is the weakest will. She was afraid of needles, and since Kaoru always got them, she kind of blocked them out.
Kirei- Is the best fighter of the group. She learns in fighting quickly. Don't ask me how, she just does because of the fumes in her body.
Kaoru- Is the normal one.
Kanna- Is the shy and innocent one of the three; with her ESP. She only uses it when she's scared, like when she is close to needles. Oh yeah and she is the only one that can cook very well, don't ask me how she can cook from imprisonment of 15 years, she just can, okay?
Any more questions, ask away.
One more thing, should I make this one a lemon? If so put a KIREI in all caps so I know.

Anything between these is a memory.

This chapter is mostly about Kenshin POV.
On with the fic.
Chapter Nine: Morning Chaos
DAY TWO OF TRAINING
Kirei woke up to a splitting headache. Her blood was pulsing through her head. She had no idea what happened yesterday.
Nothing came back to her after she kissed Kenshin to fool Gohei.
She was too tired to think and she rolled over, only to have her head in the crook of the neck of someone else that smelled oddly likes ginger
Realization hit her and she sat up despite her body's protest.
She looked down and saw that Kenshin was asleep with his top off, and she hoped that was the only thing off.
Kirei was about to punch him full force in the head when Kenshin's arm shot up and caught hers before she connected with his flesh.
"Can you not be so violent so early in the morning?" asked Kenshin as he sat up and opened his eyes.
Relief rushed over her as she noticed he had pants on, though she couldn't help but notice his muscular abs and perfect chest.
She smacked herself mentally when she realized she was staring.
Her eyes finally took in her surroundings; they were in his room, and his bed.
Kirei finally looked at herself and noticed that her clothes were disarrayed and that her hair was flying all over the place like Kenshin's.
"What happened?" asked Kirei, trying to not sound panicked, but failed.
"I take it that you don't remember," said Kenshin trying to rub the sleep away.
That was when she really began to worry. She had never been so helpless before.
She shook her head.
Kenshin sighed and looked at her deep into the eyes. His amber eyes were serious, yet they softened when they saw her confused and child-like eyes. He knew that her childhood had to be like his, but darker since that was where she was all the time.
"Nothing happened if that's what you're thinking," said Kenshin as he moved to get off the bed and get ready.
He looked at the clock by the bed; it read 5:30 A.M...
Before he could get out, Kirei pulled him back in.
"What is it now?" asked Kenshin, he really wanted to take a bath.
"What happened in detail?" demanded Kirei, as she clung to his arm.
Kenshin sighed and sat down and looked her dead in the eyes.
"Nothing happened," said Battousai in a low, 'this-is-the-end-of-the-discussion' voice.
"Then why in the seven hells are we both in your bed with you and your shirt off?" asked Kirei.
Kenshin rubbed his head, he really didn't want to go through this again. Living it all once was enough; but he knew she would only press on that matter.
"You're not a heavy drinker I presume," said Kenshin suddenly.
"I don't usually drink that's why," said Kirei annoyed.
"Well that would explain your behavior at the Cherry Mountain," said Kenshin.
"What did I do?" asked Kirei shocked, she didn't want to think about it.
Sighing he looked her dead in the eyes.
"You drank too much and passed out. I carried you back here, and into the room. That was it," said Kenshin as he went to take a shower.
Kirei let him go, but she couldn't help but think he was hiding something.
Pushing the thought away, and hoping for the best, Kirei began to get her clothes for a nice long shower after he finished.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kenshin let the hot water pour over his body as he stood in the shower as last nights' events came soaring back to him as he cold his eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had just got away from Gohei and were sitting around and talking when Katsura came over and introduced himself to Kirei; he had two glasses with him.
"Well hello Kirei, I presume? Having fun?" asked Katsura as he handed her a glass and then handed one to Kenshin.
The two looked at each other before taking the glasses and nodding in thanks.
"Hey, why do you bring them drinks but not me?" asked Sanosuke defended.
"I only have two hands," said Katsura calmly.
Sano muttered something under his breath and went to get his own drink.
"Well I'll leave you two alone then," said Katsura smiling at them and then left.
"That was your boss?" asked Kirei as she watched him go.
Kenshin only nodded and sniffed his drink before downing it.
Kirei looked at the glass curiously and scrunched her nose when she smelt it.
"Drink up," said Kenshin as someone brought him another glass.
She placed the cup to her lips and was about to sip it when Kenshin tilted the cup and caused her to down the whole thing at once so it wouldn't spill.
Kirei glared at him when she finished.
Kenshin only smiled at her before downing another one.
She was brought another glass quickly. The last one tasted bitter, it was a good thing that she drank it fast, otherwise taking it all would take forever.
Determined to try and at least taste it, Kirei sipped it slowly, and made a face.
Before she could put it down Kenshin tilted the cup making her down it all again.
And that was when all hell broke loose.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A banging on the bathroom door brought Kenshin back to reality. Turning the water off and drying himself before changing, he opened the door to find Kirei.
"What took you so long? I thought you fell asleep or something," teased Kirei.
Ignoring her comment he went to get breakfast done.
He walked over Takasugi who was sprawled out on the hallway floor, and took the beer bottle from Enishi who was lying on the couch; before going to the kitchen.
Before he got to the kitchen he did a double take; they were missing someone.
"Hey, where's rooster head?" asked Kirei as she came out all dressed and washed and was drying her long hair with a towel.
She had walked out and expected to have another cooking lesson with Enishi, but found that two of the five occupants of the house were asleep and Sano wasn't in his room.
"Oh shit," said Kenshin suddenly.
"What's with the foul mouth today?" asked Kirei as she sat on the counter seat.
Kenshin just looked at her as he recalled last night again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirei had drunk five more glasses since Kenshin kept tilting the glass so she would drink it all, as he drank his own. He didn't know why he did it, it was like something else was making him do it. Maybe he just drank too much. At that time it never occurred to him that he could have gotten drunk.
Sano had walked over when they had gotten new drinks and downed them all. He suddenly fell to the ground and the two just laughed at him, thinking that he had just had too much to drink and collapsed.
Takasugi and Enishi were drinking with some women and drinking, and looked like they were about to collapse as well.
Then Gohei came back and smiled at Kirei before dragging her to her feet.
"Hey! Who are you again?" asked Kirei as she slapped his hands away; her movements sloppy from all of those drinks.
Gohei grinned and groped her butt, but then she punched him but it wasn't as effective as before. She was very dizzy and couldn't concentrate at all.
He smiled and did it again, and this time Kirei kicked him in the shins.
She smiled and as he toppled over and sat back on top of Kenshin who wasn't paying much attention. He was glaring at Gohei as he got back up and tried to pull Kirei back to him, but Kenshin kicked the drunk away and stood up with Kirei in her arms.
"She's mine, back off!" roared Kenshin as he held Kirei to him.
Kirei wrapped an arm around his waist and the other was on his right shoulder as her head moved to his neck. She closed her eyes and smiled as the scent of ginger lingered in her nose.
Gohei growled but then moved to crawl to another woman.
Kenshin sat back down and Kirei stayed in his lap as if she were napping.
Enishi and Takasugi walked over drunk and said that it was best to go home.
Picking Kirei up, they left the building; Sano still on the floor of their table.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So where's Sano?" asked Kirei as she grabbed an apple and began to munch on it as Kenshin began to make breakfast without much thought.
"He's asleep outside of the building," said Kenshin as his brain tried to force him to remember last night.
He occupied himself by stirring the miso soup and doing a few fancy knife tricks as he chopped the vegetables.
"Hey, you and Takasugi never got a chance to train me," said Kirei as she bit into the apple.
"That's why we have today to do that. Can you go and wake those two up for breakfast?" asked Kenshin as he began to set the table with his food.
"Why don't you teach me how to cook? Your cooking looks a lot better than Enishi's," said Kirei as she jumped off her seat and went to poke Takasugi in the ribs with her foot.
"So I take it that you aren't mad any more?" asked Kenshin.
"As long as we didn't do anything, I don't really care about that little thing in the room," said Kirei.
Kenshin fell silent at that. It was weird that she didn't remember anything, yet he remembered it all. They had the same amount of drinks, yet she remembered nothing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenshin had to drive since the others were too drunk to drive, and he seemed to be the only one awake.
Once they got into the apartment the other two were where they were at now.
Kirei still sleeping, he carried her to his room and laid her down.
He stared at her face, it was so beautiful and angelic. Putting a stray lock of hair back in place, he was about to leave when Kirei grabbed his collar and pulled him down to her.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to bed?" asked Kirei, obviously still drunk.
He tried to pull away and used his left leg that was still on the floor for leverage, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and had no intention of letting him leave.
Oh great. Now what do I do? Thought Kenshin as he frantically thought of an idea to get out of her grip.
He moved his head to hers so that they were eye level, he placed on his deadliest face, but found out that he couldn't do it with her innocent smile and warm amber eyes. They made her look so vulnerable.
"Let me go," said Kenshin as he tried to get away, but he couldn't get out of her grip. The alcohol was finally getting to him, he groaned inwardly.
He had to get away from her before he did something stupid, and in his condition, that was very likely.
Cautiously moving his hips away from hers, he used one hand to help him stay above her, and the other to try and pry her hands away from his neck.
"What are you doing?" asked Kirei as she cocked her head at him and his uncomfortable position.
"Trying to get to sleep, but you won't let me," said Kenshin as he gave her a grave look before going back to work.
"Okay," said Kirei as she suddenly wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him down on her.
He groaned as he felt her curves painfully against him.
"Comfortable now?" asked Kirei as she stroked his red hair.
Kenshin was face first in her hair, and was at least able to move so he could look at her in the eyes.
He was so close to her, only a hair's breathe away. She was so drunk that she had no idea what she was doing, and he doubted she would remember.
Dark thought began to form in his head.
Shaking the thoughts away, he emitted a low growl and got one in turn.
"Stop being so hard headed and relax," said Kirei angrily.
"Stop being stubborn and let me go," said Kenshin.
"Get out yourself," said Kirei grinning.
Kenshin was about to push himself up, and didn't notice that their hips were pinned together. As he moved, so did his hips, and they moved against Kirei's because of their position.
Kirei let out a moan and her legs fell off of his waist.
He felt himself get aroused but tried very hard to stay calm, though his darker half was just screaming to take her now while she didn't have a clue what was happening and go willingly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Earth to Kenshin," said Kirei as she waved her hand in front of him as she began to eat. Seeing him go off into a daydream was really weird, she didn't know that Battousai could do that.
"Huh? Oh yeah, wake them up yet?" asked Kenshin.
"They're fighting over the bathroom," said Kirei as she finished eating a bit of rice.
"Oh," said Kenshin as he looked off.
"What were you thinking about?" asked Kirei.
"What are you talking about?" asked Kenshin as he picked up his chopsticks and bowl.
"Don't lie to me, you were staring off into space, and you had this dazed look on your face," said Kirei.
"I don't know what your talking about," said Kenshin pretending not to know what she was talking about.
"Thinking about someone special?" asked Kirei, she forced herself not to sound hurt.
"You could say that," said Kenshin through his bowl as he ate.
Kirei bit her lower lip, she was some how hurt by this. She bent her head as she ate her breakfast.
"Thanks for making breakfast Kenshin. I think your cooking lessons will have to commence at lunch," said Enishi as he walked over drying his white hair with a white towel.
"So you beat Takasugi?" asked Kirei, trying to sound her best not to feel utterly hurt by Kenshin's earlier statement.
"That dope could never beat me. So where in the seven hells is the other stupid idiot?" asked Enishi as he grabbed a pair of chopsticks and began to eat.
Kirei looked at Kenshin who neatly wiped his mouth with a napkin and laid it down on the table.
"I believe he's at the Cherry Mountain, we left him there," said Kenshin calmly as the others gawked at him.
"You were the one that was most awake, you should have noticed, you are the Battousai," said Enishi looking annoyed.
"Yet I drank more than all of you," said Kenshin.
"Oh well, the rooster head will come back soon enough," said Enishi as he began to eat.
Kirei cocked an eyebrow, weren't they concerned?
"Everyone there knows Sano, they'll probably just send him home soon," said Enishi as he saw Kirei's expression.
Nodding Kirei went back to eating, though she couldn't help but notice that Kenshin was just staring at her. It creped her out, but then again he could be looking at something else behind her, she decided for the second choice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He was stuck in that position, any more movement with connections to her body and he would snap. So he stayed that way and taking the pleasure of feeling her against him.
Kirei rolled over and he having lost his mind and still drunk, went willingly as she rolled on top of him.
She kissed his jaw line and then the corner of his mouth; he didn't bother to stop her.
Though he saw her hands move to his shirt and she easily took it off and disregarded it some where; allowing her hands to move against his fine chiseled chest as she kissed his neck.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Battousai, are you trying to stare a hole through Kirei or something?" asked Takasugi as he walked over to the table and began to gulp down the food.
"Nothing. So since Sano is out for today and you didn't show her yesterday, I think you should after breakfast," said Kenshin as he converted back to reality and looked away from her.
"Sure," said Takasugi between bites.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Once Kirei and Takasugi left the apartment, there was a knock at the door, and sure enough like Enishi said, Sano came in and then fell to the floor; still drunk.
"*Sigh* Mind helping me to put him on the couch?" asked Enishi as he walked over to Sano who was now fast asleep once again.
Walking over to their comrade, they helped ease him to the couch with little difficulty. Even if the two weren't as large as Sano they were both pretty powerful.
Enishi collasped on the seat next to Sano and pulled out his latest novel that he had been reading.
Kenshin sat one the lazy boy chair and closed his eyes; trying to get back the sensation of last night once again before he could get interrupted again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirei's hands and mouth were as talented as her skill in fighting as they moved along his chest and face.
He felt his body waking up again after ten years and was glad that she was to drunk to notice the sudden bulge below his belt line.
Closing his eyes, he allowed to her to do as she wished.
His eyes snapped back open as he felt her hands travel down to more dangerous regions. Not wanting to face a pissed Kirei in the morning for taking advantage, if you can consider it since she was doing it herself, he grabbed hold of her wrists and flipped them over; allowing himself to be on top again.
Kirei looked up at him with lazy golden eyes and smiled as she kissed his lips again.
This isn't right, she's too drunk. Thought Kenshin as he pulled up so she could touch him.
She pouted up at him adoringly but Kenshin only shook his head and rolled off her to her right.
That's when he realized his mistake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you actually sleeping? Himura the Battousai is sleeping?" asked Sano in shock as he finished his shower and came out to see Kenshin with his eyes closed and looking peaceful for once in a long long time.
Kenshin opened his eyes and looked at the taller man annoyed for interrupting such a recap; at this rate he would never get to finish his recount on what happened last night. (A/N: I think I'll take my time; I know I'm evil. Mhuhahahahahahahahaha. *cough* Mhuhahahahahaha.)
"Where's all the food?" asked Sano as he raged the fridge for the sixth time that week.
"We're going to have to go buy groceries again. Want to come?" asked Enishi putting down his book and getting his coat, keys, and wallet.
"I'm going, you guys never get any good things," said Sano putting on his 'bad' jacket.
"Coming Battousai?" asked Enishi as he walked to the door.
Kenshin shook his head.
"I'll get you some real food," said Sano as he followed Enishi out and locked the door.
Clearing his mind, he went back to last night's event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as he was about to fix that problem, Kirei moved herself on top of him; straddling his legs.
Before he could use his arms to pull her off, she pinned them above his head. He noticed that some how his strength seemed to have left him and she had gotten stronger.
He thought of moving his body up and hopefully pushing her off, and noticed that their hips were aligned again. Cursing internally, Kenshin thought of a way to stop this before it couldn't be stopped. He felt his body growing to life as if it had a will of its own. That was not good.
Kirei moved her face to his, while her hands pinned his own down. Her breasts were now flat against his own chest as she trailed her tongue along his jaw line. (A/N: Remember that she's drunk, and she's doing this because she did this in the Cherry Mountain, so don't flame.)
Finally thinking of a plan before he snapped and fell into whatever trap that she was doing, he kissed her back; trying desperately to get her to relax.
Kirei moved her hands down to his face to deepen the kiss, as he moved his free hands to her waist and got back on top.
Her eyes were still closed from their kissing.
Kenshin cracked opened an eye, but made sure that they were still kissing. Once he felt her relax he hit the corner of her neck, causing her to go limp and fall to the bed. He caught her before she hit the bed and covered her with a blanket.
He was just too exhausted to go out there with the others, so he just fell asleep.
That was how Kirei found them in the morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That wasn't necessary you know," said Takasugi as Kirei and him entered.
"He tried to grope me," said Kirei angrily as she sat down next to Kenshin who had just shot out of his own thoughts.
"You could of just yelled at him, no need to give the man two black eye, and many broken bones," said Takasugi walking over after locking the door.
Kirei rolled her eyes and looked at Kenshin who avoided eye contact.
She knew that he had to be thinking of that 'girl' again.
"Well after lunch I think that Kenshin should teach you for the rest of the day, since you did miss yesterday's training and he has more to teach you," said Takasugi.
Kenshin nodded as Kirei just shrugged.
"Delivery," yelled Sano as he opened the door with five grocery bags filled.
Enishi came in with three of his own; closing the door with a foot.
"Kirei, let's begin," said Enishi putting his bags on the counter.
Getting up, she helped put away things and helped prepare dinner.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenshin grabbed his sword and the one that Takasugi lent Kirei for the training, as the two ascended up the stairs and to the roof of the building.
No one was there so it would a perfect place for training.
"Wow," said Kirei as she saw the view of Tokyo from her position. The skies seemed to have been cleared away by a flowing color of gold as the sun set.
"Let's begin," said Kenshin as he unsheathed his sword.
Kirei blinked at him.
"Get in your position," said Kenshin.
"You want me to fight you? How is that training?" asked Kirei.
"It's to tell me how much you know, and it is training since my uncle trained me this way. Now hurry up," said Kenshin as he sheathed his sword and got into a battou-jutsu stance.
Not wanting to give up a challenge, Kirei got into a stance as well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Well not much of a cliff hanger, but yeah. I would have made this longer, but I had to write the others and update. So I might not update until next Saturday or earlier, though during school I won't be able to update until Saturday. So I guess that's the day that I update all three stories from then on. Stupid school.
Remember to put KIREI in all caps if you want a lemon.
PLEASE REVIEW, EVEN IF IT IS A SIMPLE SMILELY FACE.
