Update!!! I wrote it quicker than I thought I would. Arigatou, Minna-san
for the reviews!! Already I've gotten almost as many reviews for this
story as I did for my last (and very unfinished) One. Umm, if there are
misspellings and what not, it's cause I don't actually have Word, and
wordpad doesn't do spell check. I'm not perfect, sadly. If I were, I'd
own Kenshin, but I'm not, so I don't. Must mean that Watsuki-sama is.

The Price of Love
Chapter 2: Instant Attraction, Just Add Liquor.
Kenshin looked up from his fifth straight double shot of Jack and surveyed his surroundings. He could see Sano dancing with a younger woman on the dimly lit dancefloor, and chuckled to himself when he thought of how Sano's on and off girlfriend Megumi would react if she was there to see it. Kenshin's gazed moved over the faceless people and stopped abruptly. He had found an angel. She looked so lost sitting there, her long black hair flowing down her back, blue eyes sparkling with the makings of tears as she nursed the blood red drink in her hands. Normally, he would have never thought of talking to a woman at a bar, but something about the way her bangs fell over her forehead and the way her hands would move as she pushed her hair back over her shoulder, all of it intrigued him. Made him want to get up and go to her, pull her into kisses that would leave her breathless and wanting more.
Kenshin shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. *I think I drank too much tonight, that I did* But of course his logic didn't stop him from downing the rest of his drink and leaving his corner to go to the angel. *Way too much to drink* he reasoned with himself as he got closer to the young woman. When he reached her, he made sure she looked up at him, and he bowed slightly and gestured to the chair beside her. A very drunk Kenshin said the first thing that came to his head.
"Is that seat taken, for this unworthy one would like to know if he could sit next to an angel such as yourself, that he does." Kenshin flashed her a bright smile and waited for her response.
----------
Kaoru sat in her chair, watching Misao dance, drinking her amaretto and cranberry juice, and trying her best to be invisible. Everytime she let her thoughts run off, they led to Tokyo and Enishi, and she'd down another drink. The six empty glasses in front of her, belonged only to her and she stared at them dejectedly. She didn't know what to do. She was drunk and brooding, and she wasn't even looking around her. *Mou, Kaoru, you're supposed to be looking for a mate. So look already!* She forced herself to actually look at the people around her, instead of gazing through them. When she looked up she was surprised.
One of the most beautiful men she had ever seen was standing right in front of her. She gazed over his dark red hair that shimmered almost the same as her drink, and almost drowned in the violet eyes that bore into her. And then he spoke. His voice was like liquid, and she could feel her face flush as he smiled brightly at her. His words finally registered.
Kaoru blushed madly. "Mou!" She exclaimed, bowing her head to hide her face from those gorgeous eyes. "O-Of course..." She stuttered. "I- I mean...you can sit there." She regained her confidence and looked into his eyes again. "I don't mind."
Kenshin sat down next to her, sweeping his long crimson ponytail behind his shoulder. He turned to the girl and let his gaze glide over her body. *Kami-sama, she is exquisite* Her curves were hugged by the little black dress she was wearing, her legs showed that she wasn't just curvy, but muscular. Kenshin could see that she worked out often buy the way her calves were perfectly cut. Hips that flared slightly, tiny waist, pert and supple breasts...*Dammit Kenshin, no hentai. Mind out of gutter!!! You don't even know her name.... yet* Kenshin's normal shyness had already been thrown out the window when he had made his way over to the girl, so he figured more boldness wouldn't hurt as he reached over and clasped her hand gently, bringing it to his lips.
After grazing her knuckles gently with his partly open mouth, he looked into her shocked blue orbs and said in a very husky voice, "My name is Kenshin, Himura Kenshin. Can I have your name, or would you rather I just call you my angel?"
Had Kaoru been anywhere near sober, she would have scoffed at his very lame come on, but she was very trashed and the compliment made her blush again, the feel of his lips on her skin made her lower body clench in reaction. "K- Kaoru." She paused before giving her last name. She had already decided to give her maiden name instead of her married one, she had even put her wedding band aside for the trip. "Kamiya Kaoru. Mou." *Kami this man is so sexy. Look at his hair and how it's almost as long as mine. Oh and he wears that long black coat like it was made for him, and the shirt underneathe* Kaoru shivered a little at her own thoughts. *It's obvious by how the shirt clings to him, that he's all muscle, despite his smallness. And his eyes, Mou, his eyes. I wonder if his hair feels as silky as it looks... I wonder...* Kaoru took a deep breath as Kenshin watched her. "Mou," she sighed again.
Kenshin grinned again, supposing that Kaoru's favorite word was 'Mou'. "I think that's a lovely name, Kaoru, that I do. Just as lovely as the person it belongs to." Kenshin moved closer to her, his arm wrapping around her waist. *I am severely drunk, that I am. I can't help but want to touch her, I feel like she is supposed to belong to me* He leaned his face down towards her and asked softly, "May this unworthy one have the honor of kissing you, Kaoru? I know it is very forward of me to ask, that I do, and I apologize greatly, but I cannot help myself of wanting to kiss you, that I cannot." *or hold you, or touch you, or to push you against a wall and...KENSHIN, stop thinking like that!!*
Kaoru's nervousness about her whole affair had just left her, all with the one question Kenshin asked of her. *He's sweet. He's polite. He's the most attractive man in the whole place, and he thinks I'm lovely. Enishi told me I could, and I want to. I want him.* She reached over to Kenshin, and without answering him, she pulled him into a deep and passionate kiss, her tongue pushing it's way into his mouth, tasting him, sucking his tongue inside her own mouth. Her hands went behind his head and began to run through his ponytail. *Mou, it is like silk* She thought as he began to kiss her back. His hands dove into her hair, running down her back. One of his hands stayed at the small of her back, as the other retraced it's path up her back to cradle her head as he took his opportunity to kiss her breathless. Finally Kenshin needed air, and he broke away from her, both of them panting heavily.
"Oro...."
"Mou...."
*I am very drunk* They both thought at the same time.
----------------------------------------------------
Wooo!!!! Second chapter!!! Told you it'd get longer!!! I tried to keep them as in character as I could....Please remember (since I tried to reiterate it many times) They are really really drunk, thus why our normally shy couple are being majorly forward.
