Disclaimer: It's an anime. It's Rurouni Kenshin. And it's not mine. :D

A/N:

            So…I take ages to update, eh? Well… the story isn't quite completely structured yet, not even for me, so it's kinda hard for me too; and BESIDES, it'd be boring if I just kept on dishing out all the chapters! -_~

Tnx, every1!

Chapter Three: Wake Up and Smell the Alcohol

            His eyes flashed amber almost instantly when they fell on the beauty next to him. Sleeping soundly, Kaoru's ebony locks fell like a curtain pillowing her head. Her hand was wrapped around the blanket which outlined her bare figure perfectly next to Kenshin's body.

            He almost growled in need, observing her fair complexion and curves when her own eyes slowly opened, revealing to him the bluest, and fiercest sapphire blue orbs. She was just looking up to him when all of a sudden, all she felt were Kenshin's lips crushing hers roughly.

For Kenshin wanted her.

All of her.

            Beneath him he could feel her whole body, and her small, surprised protesting whimper only made him hunger for her more. Her small movements as she began to adjust to his kiss allowed the blanket to slither slowly downwards, and the feel of her soft skin against his bare chest made him moan deeply.

            Finally, he pulled away, watching her trying to catch her breath and smiling a little shakily, but kindly, at him. He licked his lips, eager for another taste, when her hand stopped him. She started to laugh. "Mou, Kenshin," she whispered. "Why so sudden?"

            He smirked, knowing she was trying to tantalize him. He only answered with a satisfied sound, grazing her collarbone with his open mouth, tasting her; once, twice, slowly starting to kiss lower and lower…

            She moaned softly. "Mmmm, demo, Kenshin, you do know we just did this last night, ne?"

            He looked up at her, eyebrow raised, eyes yellowish. "Oh, and you would not want it repeated, koishii?" He bent down on the side of her neck, nibbling her skin. She let out another laugh, and then lifted his face away from her to finger his lips, whispering softly in that innocent, yet lascivious voice.

"Hmmm, that all depends, anata…if you want to go rough or smooth on me this time…"

"Ahhh."

***@***

Grunt.

Grunt.

Grunt.

            That was all Sano did as he felt a hand shaking his shoulder. His head felt like he had a violent whirlwind inside of it, and the strong smell of cigarette and alcohol stung his nostrils whenever he tried to breathe.

"Yo, Sano; come on!"

            Sano opened one eye and swatted the man, who was standing in front of him as he sat still half-asleep on the sofa where he had positioned himself the night before while gambling, quite sharply for someone who had a hangover.

"The hell is your problem, Chou? Man my head is aching and you come waking me up suddenly, you son-of-a --

"-- A perfectly normal female human being, thank you very much."

"Really now? I always thought your father had a kind of taste…"

"So my dada was a goo-goo head; point-taken—Sano, just get up already!"

            With much effort Sano pulled himself up, his coarse, dark coat wrinkled from staying too long underneath him the whole night. "What's the hurry, anyway?" He looked around: the place was a total mess, what with beer bottles and cigarette butts and mix-matched belongings strewn everywhere.

Chou stared at him disbelievingly.

"We're late, you idiotic rooster! Saitou wanted to see us 'bright and early', remember? And it's, what, ten minutes to noon!"

"What?!"

"Hey, don't blame me; my mother taught me how to tell the time."

Sano ran a hand through his brown, spiky hair. "Alright, alright, let's get outta here." He shook his head in an effort to shake the hangover away. "Got the keys?"

"To the Vios or to the Ferrari?"

"Whichever, for hell's sake! Saitou's never gonna let us off the hook for this!!!"

A/N:  Hm, wonder why Saitou wants to see them… Reviews, okay?

*smiles*
