Ohiyo minna! Arigato to everyone who R+R'd!! Thank you so much, I really
got inspired to write faster. ::smiles:: Not to mention I got a really
cool idea on trying to get away from that darker chapter and into a lighter
one. Hehehe lots of suggestions for K+K so I'm going to dedicate this
chapter to them only. It might end up being ditched, but if you all like
it I'll keep it. What can I say, I was in a romantic mood. Definite
OOCness!! ::drools:: Plus Arigato to Chibi-Angel for giving me some
ideas for Chapter titles!
So once again, I don't own the rights to Kenshin…please don't sue…I'm to poor anyway!

As soon as Kenshin and Kaoru had made it to their room, Kaoru began weeping softly. He sat at the edge of her bed and gently pulled her onto his lap, holding her small body close to his and stroking her hair. When she began to calm down, he put his fingers to her chin and lifted her eyes to meet his.
"Kaoru-dono," he whispered softly, "why are you crying?"
She sniffed slightly and gazed into his concerned purple eyes. His look captivated her, as she found she couldn't look away from the raw emotions she found there. Concern, caring, and one other look…an emotion she had always wished to see in his eyes. She shook herself slightly and looked away, 'It can't be…it must be something else.'
While Kaoru was fighting with her emotions, Kenshin sat there with her still on his lap, very confused. 'Why did she look away?' He watched the play of emotions on her face. 'Kaoru, why won't you tell me what's bothering you; maybe I can help.' He began wandering in his own mind. Keeping well aware of the feel of her body on his. He thought back to the time in the woods where he had almost kissed her.
The rurouni was so lost in his own thoughts, he failed to realize that the woman of his concern was now staring at him; slightly irate that he had ignored the excuse he had given her. She giggled softly at an incredibly dopey grin that was displayed on his face, and was curious about the slight blush appearing on his cheeks. Her amusement changed to anxiety as his eyes darkened and a dangerous look passed over his face. When he finally spoke it was soft yet stern, leaving little room for argument.
"Kaoru-dono, you have to leave here."
She gasped and jumped off of his lap. "What? What are you talking about?"
He sighed and stood, all the while keeping his eyes on hers. "Gomen Kaoru-dono." He walked over to the door and double-checked to make sure no one was coming down the hall. Closing it softly he locked it and turned to face her again. "It's gotten to dangerous. I can't let you stay here anymore. You have to go back to the dojo."
She stared at him in amazement, feeling her blood boil at the thought of him questioning her competence in this mission. When she spoke her words were harsh and to the point.
"I am not going anywhere Kenshin." She folded her arms for added emphasis. "In case you forgot, I was assigned to this mission because the government believes in me. I will not let that belief down."
His eyes darkened even more. 'Stubborn woman.' The Battousai inside of him thought. For once the two halves where in agreement. "Kaoru, you saw what happened to Kikyo. That could have been you! Don't you see that?"
Kaoru glared daggers at him. "Yes in fact I was there to see that; which is exactly why I am not going to leave!" She stomped over to him and jabbed a finger lightly in his chest. "I will not abandon my friend, nor will I let down my government. I can take care of myself Kenshin!"
He grew desperate, and in growing desperate sometimes one may say things they don't intend to say. Frustrated he practically shouted.
"Were you talking care of yourself when you received that wound in your shoulder?" He stopped, amazed and ashamed that he could say that to her. Her face showed her amazement as well.
"Kenshin." She couldn't believe that he would say that to her. Instantly her confidence shattered. 'He doesn't believe in me? Maybe I deserved that, now I know how he really thinks.'
In an effort to fix what he had just said he took a step towards her. His voice was showered in regret and sorrow that he had just hurt the person he cared for the most.
"Kaoru-dono. Gomen, I shouldn't have said that. I am so very sorry. I know you can take care of yourself…demo…I still worry about you!"
She stood quietly, her bangs hiding her eyes. "Kenshin, do you see me as a child or a woman?"
He was stunned and muttered the only thing capable of passing through his mouth at the time. "Huh?"
"It's a simple question Kenshin, one that doesn't need repeating."
His silence and her growing anger jump-started his brain. "I think you are a woman Kaoru-dono."
An idea began to grow inside her head. 'Maybe I can get this situation under better control, and possibly get something out of this in return.'
"Kenshin."
"Huh." He grimaced at his knack for words today.
"Lets make a bet."
His eyes shot up in surprise. "Oro?"
When she finally looked back up at him her eyes were full of mischief. If his mind had been fully functional he would have been afraid for his life, any man would have made a run for it; however in his dulled state he just stood there and stared.
She walked over to him and stood closer than he thought was humanly possible.
"I bet, that if I can make you move from a sitting position, I get to stay. If you can go without moving, I'll leave."
He face-vaulted. 'So easy? Why is this so easy?' A voice inside of him began warning him, but he left it unheeded as he walked over to the bed. 'No problem, my concern and my training won't let me move.' With that he sat on the bed and made a stern straight face, signifying his acceptance of her terms.
Kaoru stood motionless in the room watching Kenshin. He was as still as a statue. 'Great, that's just great Kamiya. How am I going to get through this one.' She had been only slightly amazed that he had agreed, and the look on his face told her this wasn't going to be easy. She considered her options.
Deciding on trying to make him laugh right now, she walked over to him and stared at his face. She took her two fingers and placed them under her eyes and pulled her lids down, sticking out her tongue and pushing up her nose. "Nyaaaa."
The only reward she got for that was a slight flicker of amusement that ran across his eyes. In an instant it was gone. 'Hmmm.' She tried various sorts of faces, ranging from strange to fierce. Getting desperate she told him of the time Yahiko had gotten a part of his boken stuck up his nose during training. Again only a flicker in his eyes indicated that he was even alive.
'Kami, I don't want to lose this one.' Again the mischievous look crosses her eyes. She walked into his view of eyesight and stood back about five feet. She then began to bat her eyes lashes at him and walked as slowely and as smoothly over to him as possible. Noting the slight panic that ran across his face she smiled wickedly.
In the most seductive voice she could manage she leaned close to his ear and whispered. "Let me show you just how much of a woman I can be Kenshin." After she finished that sentence she lightly let her tongue trace up his ear. She was awarded with a drop of his sweat that appeared on his face. Gathering up her courage she slowely reached up and pulled out his tie, watching as his hair cascaded down his back. Running her hand through his hair she went and sat on her knees behind him. While one hand was playing with his silky red mane, her other hand began exploring his neck. Her hand went around the front of his neck under his chin and gently lifted his head back exposing his neck even more. Then keeping his head in that position, her hand slowely went down the base of his shirt, feeling the display of the muscles in his chest.
His breathing became shallower as Kaoru began gently licking the back of his neck. Keeping his body as close as possible to hers she moved in front of him never losing the contact her tongue had to his neck. Again she was awarded with more drops of sweat appearing. Her hands sought to gain free access to his chest, feeling the muscles start to flutter every time her hand lightly traced his skin. She forgot about the bet, as she broke contact from licking his skin and stared into his eyes. Straddling his lap, Kaoru placed light kisses over his lids, and cheeks; nibbling slightly on his earlobe.
Every part in Kenshin body wanted him to react to what she was doing. To hold her and kiss her back. It was when she looked into his eyes and he saw this was no longer a bet; she was doing this because she wanted to, that he began to lose all control.
Kaoru's butterfly kisses became more intense. 'Kami I love him.' Her hands ran down his back, while her lips pressed against his cheeks. She vaguely realized that her shirt was coming undone showing part of her shoulder and exposing her neck. It didn't matter to her, she was with the man she loved right now, and she may never get this chance again. Kenshin's body began to shudder from under her, shaking her from her thoughts. She began pulling away from him, embarrassed that she had taken it so far, when she felt him move. His hand traveled up her back, keeping her body close to his, not allowing her to move away. When she looked into his eyes, she saw pure love there. She gasped in surprise as she felt his other hand pull her hair down as well. He then closed his eyes and began lightly kissing down the front of her neck. She groaned lightly at the feel of his wet lips traveling down her skin, and his hand playing with her hair.
His lips rose to meet hers. 'My first kiss.' Kaoru thought. She loved the feel of his lower lip in between hers. Gently she opened her mouth, deepening the kiss and allowing his tongue access inside. His hands traveled down her back, and in a swift movement he stood, his hands cupping her bottom keeping her legs around his waist, as she grasped his neck, neither of them breaking from their passionate kiss. He carried her to the top of the bed he had previously been occupying and carefully laid her down taking care to keep contact with her delicious lips. In a single fluid motion, he positioned his body on top of hers, making sure to keep most of his body weight off of her and onto his arms beside her. Throughout the night Kenshin and Kaoru expressed their feeling for each other, never breaking the barriers that the rights of a husband and wife have, yet giving each other physical promises of what's to come.

Yessssss!!! I know….I had to stop it there…No hentai!!! ::dodges projectile objects:: Please tell me what you think. I just had to find a way to get Kaoru to do that. The woman must take initiative!!! Hehehehehe Everyone said that they wanted more K+K!! ::smiles:: here ya go!! Again PLEASE tell me if I should keep this or not. I don't know, but I am pretty dern proud of it. My first (I guess you could call it) citricy fresh?
So once again, I don't own the rights to Kenshin…please don't sue…I'm to poor anyway!
