It's Getting Hot in Here

**************

For a moment everything in life made sense. Troubles had answers, and equations had solutions. Everything was solved in this one perfect, right and authentic moment…

Kenshin and Kaoru danced in one of the gardens during a ball at Japan's Royal palace. Suddenly he stops, drops down to one knee, and pulls a beautiful ring out of his pocket. All around them couples stop dancing to see what's going to happen next. "Kamiya Kaoru," he starts while Kaoru gasps in shock, "will you make me the happiest man alive by being my wife?" Kaoru wipes away tears and nods, speechless. Kenshin and everyone cheers.

```

"Run Kaoru…" Kenshin shouted as gunmen chased the two into a maze of beautiful gardens. The night was a silvery ebony as stars littered the sky with a jewel like sparkle. The moon was blue and the wind was gentle yet icy…

The breath of the wind blew threw their hair, as the firm earth was like a painted ground of black and dark green…

"JOU-CHAN! KENSHIN! WHAT THE HECK YOU GUYS RUNNING FOR?" Sano asked…

"RUN!" the two shouted…

"Eh?" he turned behind them and saw men with (loads ammo) guns…

'This is bad…have I mention, real bad!'

Sano began running with the two as they all head into a denser area. The maze of greenery was becoming beguiling and most certainly frustrating…

Kaoru turns her head behind seeing a gunman aiming for Kenshin. Running in front…a gunshot ripped the air…

Kaoru lets out a blood curling scream as she stumbles to the floor. Kenshin turns his head around to see her screaming and holding her stomach…

The dark liquid over lapped her fingers as she went down…so slow…

The world then made no sense. None. Everything evil was adorn now. Everything right was destroyed and common sense to choose to live was a flip of the coin…

"KAORU!" Kenshin screamed…

Sano had been looking at his little Jou-chan and then began running into useless battle. Battling honorably with his fists into flesh and bone, his attempts were feeble and futile. Another shot ripped the air, and another who is loved…another warrior, falls. But this time with no breath…

Kaoru groans as she watches her friend die in one shot, sacrificing his life for hers…for theirs

Tears fill her eyes as she spoke she didn't want to die and leave Kenshin.

Kenshin kneels and holds her. Holds her soft face telling her she's going to be alright.

"Shut up Kaoru…y-you're going to be fine!" Kenshin tried promising…

"K-Kenshin…" she cried as tears filled her now sad orbs…

"It's all my fault. Forgive me Kaoru…" he begged…She shook her head firmly…

"No…it isn't. I loved you…so I kept you safe. We are one darling…(she begins to tremble and turn pale) not in the physical…b-but in here (she places her hand on his heart) in here…forever. I l-love you!" her voice faded…

"NOOO!" Kenshin screamed as she became limp…

"NO KAORU! NO! DON'T LEAVE ME! P-lease!" he wailed…

Kenshin held her. Close. 'She is mine. I love her and I will do everything in my will to be with her…!'

Kenshin gritted his teeth as he held beauty so fine, mind so great and artistic kindness so divine to waste. She was gone…

"NOOO! I HATE YOU GOD! I HATE YOU!" Kenshin blamed…

"NOOOOO!" he screamed…

* "NOOOOOO!" Kenshin screamed…

He sat up on his bed sweating, with a pulse ever so fast…

'It was a dream…' 'It was a dream!' he corrected himself…

'A very bad dream!' he placed his face in his hands…

He peeked at the time from his partly opened out fingers.

*5:17pm*

Falling back into his pillows, he thought, did this dream have something to do with the future…

"Did it?" he wondered as he stared off …

***

"Hello!" a grumpy female answered…

"Hello!" the male voice spoke

"Who the hell is this?" the girl grumbled as she rubbed her eyes and looked at the time, before the person could talk she cut in, "do you even have consideration of other people sleeping ("Uh--" he tried cutting in) Uh nothing pal! You should know better than to call so fricking early on a beautiful woman's head. We do need our beauty sleep as only few of us exist. If you ever call me so blasted early again I'm going to cuss you from your mother's side to your dead ancestors sides? Got it? Now…who are you?" she asked

"Misao…this is Aoshi!" he spoke neutrally, as if he weren't affected…

Misao's eyes were wide and immediately she fell of her bed…

"Aoshi--baby I am so sorry!" she tried apologizing…

"It's okay Misao…now I know what time "definitely" not to call!" he played around

"Hey…it's early…" she explained cutely. He laughed…

"Really Misao, you are right, waking others up so early is very rude!" he spoke

"Mmm! Not really…I do it all the time to Kaoru-chan…" she yawned as she was fully awake now

"Oh! And what does she do?" he toyed

"Well, first of all she doesn't start on people, she probably wines, but she listens out to me. She's a good friend and I know I can trouble her whenever I feel like it." Misao giggled at how evil she was sounding

"Misao, that is so wicked!" Aoshi spoke

"I know! But Kaoru-chan never seem to tell me to stop, or beat me for it" Misao gave a point, "but that's not the point! Why did you call me hun? Something wrong?" she asked sweetly

"Kinna!" he spoke biting his lip

"What's wrong?" she asked

"I've been having these erotic drea---!" he tried explaining until Misao hung up…

'Aoshi! You pervert!' she laughed and disconnected the phone wire…

'Teach you not to mess round with a beautiful Japanese woman…!' she fell back in her bed.

'Now where was I in my dream?' she tried remembering, 'Ah, yes, Aoshi was taking off my clothing!' whose the pervert now?

***

Tokyo High flourished with life about half past seven. Merriment and chaos was embedded everywhere. Children laughed, while others freaked out. Ah, yes…this was Tokyo High on a stupid Tuesday…

Kaoru grumbled, as she hit some girl's shoulder and threw down boys books with her shoulder and power walk. Damn, she was angry…

Walking fast and angry she came to her locker. Placing in her combination, a tap to her shoulder soon came…

"WHAT?" she turned around angry…

Misao stood there sad, shock and in a state of: did you just say that?

Kaoru didn't apologize…

"Okay…what happened!" Misao asked, as she leaned against the locker beside Kaoru's while watching her nails…

"Nothing, right!" she spoke angrily

"Listen girlfriend, I can take shut up, go away and see yah, but what I can not take is when a Japanese sistrine (sister) has to come up to me with some bogus, stink ass problem! So, as I asked before, what's the probs?" she asked with an English accent on

"Am I that transparent?" she asked softly

"Oh yeah! Big time! The WHAT (she screamed it back) wasn't hard to delude the answer!" she giggled…

"Oh shut up Misao!" Kaoru joked…

"So, seriously, what's the matter?" she nudged Kaoru's shoulder…

"Well!" Kaoru began blushing…

"Oh my god! You called him didn't you?" she asked while she began coming hyper…

"Well--not exactly--but wait, how did you know that?" she asked while double checking

"I just know!" Misao grinned while giving a big peace sign

"I see! But still, that's not why I'm so cranky to a 't'" Kaoru spoke

"What do you mean? then why were you in hyper drive miss?" she asked

"I have my monthly's!" Kaoru blushed like hell

"Ouch!---sorry girl!" Misao pat Kaoru's shoulder

"I know! And I hate it so much! Why did god have to make the female race suffer so much! I mean when you think about it, its women who go through you-know-what, its women who get breast cancer, its women who get pregnant and carry an infant for nine months. It's a woman who has to skin her crap to get her baby out and it's a woman who has to go through menopause…" Kaoru reckoned…

"True Kao, but what can we do?" Misao asked…

"Be beautiful, cheeky and amazing while we have our young age!" she posed like a model

"Pss! People are watching you girl!" Misao whispered

Kaoru looked around and saw that Misao was right, ducking her head inside she gave a peace sign and apologized…

***

"So you're Kenshin aye?" Sano asked…

"Yeah, why?" Kenshin asked

"A lot of the girls in this school are just screaming for yuh! Name's Sano…" he shook Kenshin's hand

"Nice to meet yuh!" Kenshin shook his hand

"Well…do you have any friends?" he asked

"Am…only Kaoru!" he spoke and blushed to an extent

"I see! Well how bout you join the gang. Both boys and girls gang, oh trust me miss righteousness is in it…you do know who that is?" he blinked one of his eyes…

'Of course I know! Kaoru couldn't be hard to detect you know!'

"So…since we're like friends and all, how bout you buy me a cheesecake, a double fudge---" he trailed off as all Kenshin did was sigh

'This is gonna be a looong day!'

"An apple pie!" Sano continued…

'Very long!'

***

Kaoru went to the girls bathroom to do her thing at recess, while Misao waited patiently outside.

"Hey Misao!" Sano spoke as he came up with 'the gang'

"Hey…" she waved

"Where's Jou-chan?" Sano asked

Misao pointed off the toilet.

"Oh…" he asked no more questions…

A while later, the blue eye raven hair girl came out…

"Finally! What the heck were you doing in their, shitting for all of us?" Sano asked

"SHUT UP!" Misao and Kaoru shouted…

"O--k!" he yelped…

"So, where to gang?" Kaoru asked while taking her books from Misao

"Well! I wanted to make a lil announcement! So listen up!" he spoke…

Everyone turned to him, with either a badass attitude or lackadaisical role.

"Alright! I will like to introduce the newest member to the gang, his name is Himura Kenshin!" Sano stepped aside and then a tallish and one hell of good looking boy was viewed.

Kaoru was shock, but you couldn't say the same for the others…

"So, now we're all paired…!" Sano spoke

"PAIRED?" Kaoru repeated…

"Yeah! Me and my fox, Aoshi and his weasel and Kenshin and you…" he grinned…

"We are not going around!" Kaoru made a thin line

"Oh…well…maybe you could just pretend to be!" Sano laughed…

"Listen you, we're not digging on each other and that's a big issue, so I hope you can get your screws and washers tight in that big head of yours before I pound you so deep in the Earth you'll be coming through Chile!" she glared…

"Yes madam!" he swallowed hard

As Kaoru lead the way to café, Sano made a statement, "she's not always like that! But trust me, she's always scary, crazy lil tanuki!" Sano aware

"I HEARD THAT SANO!" Kaoru shouted while running him down.

As the gang continued walking, each 'pair' together. Kenshin and Kaoru had been blushing more than ever, and everyone was becoming very paranoid at the stupid grinning and red stain on their faces…

Kaoru not realizing that she had ice-cream in her hands…accidentally dropped it…

Kenshin caught it on her lap.

"Thanks…" she smiled…until she watched down and realized where his hand was…

Blushing crazily, Kenshin did the same…

He placed the ice-cream on the table where she took a couple more minutes to stop the hot burn on her face. Thanking him with over fifty mistakes, he answered back with probably an equal amount of errors.

'WHAT'S HAPPENING MAN?' the gang wondered…

"So, what did you guys dream of?" Sano asked, knowing Aoshi and Misao the perverts of the century…

"NOTHING!" everyone blurted out…

"Okay! Now that is such a lie! Jou we start from you!" Sano spoke…

"Aww man! Why do I have to start?" she groaned

"Or, we could always ask your man to start!" Sano grinned

Kaoru glared at him and began, "well fine, since you had to put it like that, then fine, I'll start. Don't laugh though. I was watching the trailer for Jungle Book 2 last night, and well I dreamt that I was dancing along with the little boy and bear. It was fun…" she blushed…

Everyone began laughing and Kaoru pouted, "you guys promised not to laugh!"

When she turned to her side, Kenshin smirked at her. 'At least you didn't laugh!'

The gaze became thick when both blocked off all the talking and laughing from the café students. There they were, together on the same bench, close, and gazing into each other's eyes.

"Pss! You guys look!" Sano pointed off at the two

"They keep doing that! I guess now they like each other!" Misao rapped

"But jeez, they're so pathetic just looking at each other like that!" Megumi flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"We should get them together…" Aoshi spoke

"Good idea hun, but how!?" Misao asked

"I dunno!" came the answer

"HELLO!" Megumi broke the two from their romantic, sickening gaze (trust the fox to break a wonderful moment)

"Your turn, Ken-san!" Megumi began haughtily laughing as Kaoru got up and slammed her hand on the table.

"Megumi stop flirting! That's very rude, and wrong! Don't flirt with Kenshin!" she spoke so loud that the entire café was watching her…

"Why not? Is he your boyfriend?" she asked

Kaoru began blushing. She sat back down in her seat and folded her arms…

"Ken-san your turn!" Megumi leaned forward biting her lip. Kenshin gave her dead cold amber stare.

"I had a dream of men attacking me…they wanted my money…and that was it!" he spoke very cold

"Man, no need to lie so bad. Geez, you and Jou couldn't lie if your lives depended on it!" Sano spoke

"SHUT UP!" the both spoke coldly

"Okay---"

*INTERMISSION BELL- recess over*

Kaoru stood up and began leaving. Misao followed her as everyone went their own direction.

Misao had seen Kaoru. She was walking very fast to class. Maybe too fast. Misao passed through the cheerleader squad…

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING…weasel!" the cheerleader spoke silvery as Misao stopped and turned around…

"What you call me yo?" Misao asked

"W-EASEL!" she spoke with every letter being pronounced…

Misao walked up to the cheerleader, and gave her one solid slapping. "That teaches you to miss with me!" Misao huffed away…

(maybe that was too fast)

Misao entered the Physics class where everyone gave her a cold stare.

"What's up!" she raised her in salutation

"Sit Makimachi!" the teacher spoke

"Yes sir!" she scrambled her way to Kaoru…

"Hey, what's up!" Misao spoke

"Shh!" Kaoru hushed her while looking at the board…

"Kaoru you know what I heard?" she spoke

"Shh!" Kaoru tried

"Oh come on!" Misao argued.

"Misao! Be QUIET!" she whispered fiercely

"That's it! Makimachi and Kamiya, detention at lunch time (my school does that)" the teacher spoke

"But sir!" the girls argued.

"Would you like the time to be doubled ladies?" the teacher asked…

"No sir!" they sighed in bad lucky…

***

Lunch had come and the gang sat outside under a huge Sakura tree. Misao and Kaoru had a short detention since Kaoru begged the teacher, and had fortunately gotten through.

Misao fell in Aoshi's lap, kissing his lips and hugging him. Kaoru fell between Sano and Kenshin…

"What happened, you look beat!?" Sano spoke

"You think! Ask that oh wise one there!" she pointed at Misao

"What happened?" Sano asked

"Detention!" she sighed as Aoshi wrapped her up…

"I see!"

Kaoru leaned back on her hand, as her hair blew. The closed eyes of the hot tempered woman just made Kenshin drawn to her. The few spicks of light that fought through the branches, caressed her cheeks and pink lips, inviting him more. She looked so peaceful, so calm…so beautiful…

She opened her eyes, and had manage to see Kenshin looking at her. She bit her lip, which made matters worst. Her lips were the only thing he concerned himself with, as he made faces to the way she bit them. She made a slightly seductive face, and Kenshin knew his heart was gonna stop…

All the while, the couples kissed, hugged and kept warm.

Kaoru couldn't help it, the feeling was neutral. Leaning her head on Kenshin's shoulder, she closed her eyes and breathed in his scent of rich cologne, Curve. Kenshin, slanted his eyes to her. She was so pretty, her hair then danced to her cheek, where he brushed it off, and gently touched her face…

She smiled at him, and he knew, it was permission to wrap his hands around her. Draping a hand around her, she sighed and wondered if life could get anymore wonderful…

"AWW ISN'T THIS CUTE?" Misao shouted loudly at everyone

Everyone jumped…

"Before everyone falls asleep and forget we have Chemistry, Calculus and Home Economics, let me make a statement, quickie, aight? Good! Well remember I've been telling you guys we have a long weekend coming up soon, as it's Elderly day? Ne?" she asked

"Hai!"

"I've been working a plan with my parents! They know these rich dudes who own this beach house which is for rent, we have three days of no school, so lets rent it you guys!" she spoke, "all whose up for it say I?" Misao spoke

"I'm in like hell" "I" "I" "I" "I"

"So how about it Kao?" Misao asked

"I have to ask my mom!" she spoke cutely…

"AWW MAN!" everyone growled at her, "what?" she asked

"You are such a Barbie girl!" Misao rapped, "she's too fregging good!" Sano spoke

"YEAH!" everyone agreed,

"Megumi loan me your phone!" Misao spoke…

"Why---I only have bout ten dollars on it (cards)" she spoke

"So, I don't care!" Misao spoke, Megumi handed her the Nokia cell…

Misao dialed the woman who was ahead of plans, of answers and possibility, Kaoru's mom.

"Hello, aunt Kagome! It's me Misao, how are you? ---That's great, can I possibly ask you a big favor…okay great, can Kaoru come along for the weekend to this beach house which I most likely got? Please….pretty please, with sugar on top. Please I really, need to get and answer" she begged… "if she wanna go?" Misao turned to Kaoru, who had been resting up…

"Kao your mom wants to talk to you!" she spoke while handing her the phone.

"Hey mummy! Yup your baby-girl has been good. I'm not sure if I want to go!" she spoke evilly watching everyone, who gave her a angry face… "yes yes mom, I wanna go…please! Thanks…I love you mom, bye!" she end the call…

"I'm going!" she cheered…

"WOHOO!" everyone cheered except Megumi…

"What's up fox?" Sano asked

"Don't you baka-yarous know that you're suppose to call the owners first, see if you get the place and then cheer!?" she rolled her eyes

"She does have a point!" Kenshin spoke

Misao took back the phone, with Sano and Aoshi holding Megumi back.

"Hey Mr. Takada, it's me Misao, so what's the fee on the beach house? Great…am, I'll have it. But five of my friends will be coming along, is that okay, --it is…great, ja!" she bade

"Okay people, we're in business. Just make sure and buy up some supplies and we leave Friday afternoon with somebody's car! Who has a car?" She asked

"I?" each of the males spoke

"Okay, one things for sure, I don't want you Mr. Sano driving us to an early grave, when heck, you don't heed the don't drink and drive statement. Aoshi, you told me your mom is using the car for the weekend that's why you don't need to ask. And hello Kenshin, I didn't know you had a car!" Misao spoke

"Yeah!" Kenshin spoke

"What kind…" she asked

"I don't have really a car!" he spoke

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU SHRIMP?" she shouted up at him and held him by the collar.

Kenshin snapped from her (he is Battousai) . "I have cars…" he spoke gruffly.

"Okay handsome! Names?" she spoke

"Benz, Audi, Infinite- Q35 and a black Jaguar…I worked for them all!" he spoke seriously…

"OH MY GOD!" the girls all screamed…

"Hate it when they do that!" the boys scratched their ears…

"Okay, we want to borrow the Benz!" Misao spoke

Megumi fell in Kenshin's arms and wrapped her hands around his neck, "no the Jaguar!"

Kaoru pushed her off and made her way on his lap, "the Audi!" she spoke

"No the Benz!" "No the Jaguar!" "No no no! we go with the Infinite" the boys settled

"Please!" the girls said cutely…

"Hey, don't look at me, look at redhead here!" Sano pat Kenshin on the shoulder

"Please Ken-san!" "Please Himura!" "Please Kenshin!" they all begged

'Too much attraction!'

"Girls!" he tried getting through

Megumi, Misao and Kaoru all sat on his chest while looking at him in the eyes. All he saw was green, blue in the middle and burgundy eyes looking at him.

"Please Ken-san!" Megumi begged…

"You know what, I don't mind going with the Benz!" Kaoru agreed…

"Shut up tanuki!" Megumi shouted

"You shut up fox!" Kaoru rapped

'Oh boy!'

After a hectic week, Friday had finally arrived. Kenshin had chosen the Benz, since it was the most bet car. Besides it was red and hoodless. Who wouldn't fall for it.

Misao had packed up her stuff and heard the car horn outside. Moving the curtain slightly, she saw Kenshin and Aoshi in the car, looking very sexy.

Waving that she'd be there in a second, she screamed at how cute her man looked and ran down the steps…

Reaching the door, she called for them to come get her stuff.

Pushing in her stuff, Misao sighed as she went in the back seat taking in all the sun she could. Plus space, while she had it.

Then it was Megumi's and Sano's apartment. The two were as usual holding hands, with some small language, at least some people packed light, unlike some who brought their entire house with them.

Then it was Kaoru's house. They waited for the raven head girl, who wore a baby blue bikini like top whereas she was clad in a short fitted white shorts, and a white fisher's hat. She looked good, as her hair flew in full length. Kenshin placed down his shades, gawking at how fine she were. Pulling them back up Kaoru pushed her luggage in and jumped in the back seat with the girls…

Driving off, she opened a paper bag, and gave each of them a fresh hot baked chocolate chip cookie her mom made.

"You didn't bake it, ne Jou?" Sano asked

"No Sano…my mom did!" she spoke

"Great! Now hand me the whole bag!" he spoke

"No! everyone gets one…!" she spoke and handed them each a hot cookie…

Kenshin who was driving, was feed by the raven head. Breaking it in pieces, she shoved it in his mouth while she chewed her own. Kenshin liked this. It felt good. Breaking a piece of the cookie, she idly placed it in his mouth, making his teeth grasp her finger at one time.

"Ouch!" she bit the sore finger…making Kenshin grin.

"Hey you guys, I got the new Eminem and Linkin Park cd." Sano spoke…

"What Meteora" Megumi asked

"Nah! Reanimation!" he spoke

Pressing the cd open botton, he put the Linkin Park cd on and pushed it back in. Pressing play, they heard a short Krawling in my skin, theme song…

The second song made everyone cheer as they sang to it.

"YOU LOVE THE THINGS I SAY I DO--"

"YOU LIKE TO THINK YOU'RE NEVER WRONG…!"

They all sang.

The music was loud and everyone just enjoyed it…

Kenshin turned the corner and was now on Tokyo's huge High way…

Reaching the traffic light the car began stopping as the light turned red. Music banged loudly as young guys looked at the very attractive females in the backseat.

"Hey, pretty girls!" a guy called as the car was beside Megumi…

They turned their faces in front not minding them.

"Aww come on! Wanna dirty play with some real boys!" the boy spoke

"F*ck off!" Sano spoke icy cold

"Ouch!" the boys laughed…

Kenshin pressed the button and up came the hood.

Kaoru sighed. 'Good thinking Kenshin!'

Kenshin placed on the air-condition and lowered the music so it was soft. After about two hours of driving. Kenshin stopped for gas. Everyone switched around except Kenshin, and since Kenshin couldn't go to Kaoru, she came to him. Sitting next to each other made tensions thick, and made Sano sleep who sat next to Kaoru, since he was very comfy in front. About three hours later, they still drove. Conversation time.

"Okay, if you see multi-colored car say It's-my-life-now-or-never!" Aoshi spoke

"Okay!"

The words probably escaped everyone's lips, as all different types of cars droved from east to west, north to south…

"Lets play a different game! Truth, Dare, Double dare, Promise to repeat!" Kenshin spoke

"Okay.." everyone agreed

"Alright, we start from Kaoru…" Sano spoke, "Okay!" came her soft voice…

"Truth, Dare, Double dare, Promise to repeat?" he spoke

"Promise to repeat!" she answered

"Okay, say I Kaoru,"

"I Kaoru" she spoke

"am so fricking in love with Himura Kenshin and I will suck his!" Sano grinned

"SANOSUKE SAGARA!" Kaoru shouted, "hey toots, you choose…" Sano had a point

"Arhh! I Kaoru am so fricking in love with Himura Kenshin, and I will suck his…" she growled

"His dick!" Sano spoke

*Gasps*

"Say it!" Sano ordered…

"No!" she shouted,

"Fine, you must at least get thirty cuffs on your back--that's the rules babe!" Sano played around

"And I will suck his--(she says lowly) his dick!" she groused out…

"I can't hear you!" Sano played around

"AND I WILL SUCK HIS dick!" she shouted

"Good! Now say the entire thing!" he laughed. Kaoru cuffed him down.

Kenshin blushed but continued to drive with solid rippled muscles. He looked like dead on sexiness

"Megumi, you are the worlds ugliest beast I have ever seen!" Misao ordered Sano to speak…

"Come on!" he spoke

"SAY IT!" Misao ordered…

"Megumi-you-are-the-worlds-ugliest-beast-I-have-ever-seen!" he spoke quickly, everyone laughed while Megumi growled and Sano sulked…

"Okay Kenshin, Truth, Dare, Double dare, Promise to repeat?" Megumi asked

"Dare!" he spoke

"Okay, I dare you to (she grins evil) to stop the car, get out the car with….(she looks around) take Kaoru with you, let her lie on the car, and kiss her with your tongue!" Megumi spoke

"I--ca" he spoke

"DO IT!" she ordered…

Kenshin stopped the car in the shoulder and came out with Kaoru following him.

He looked at her eyes, she was so pretty. Her hair was wild, but nevertheless she was beautiful. Pushing her back gently, Kaoru froze instantly in her position, her body was paralyzed and unresponsive to her mind as his face edged closer to hers. She felt Kenshin's lips graze hers then she suddenly reached a hand up to the back of his neck and cupped the shape of his head to push them closely together. She closed her eyes and just took it all in. The ends of her nerve-endings went numb as her lips slowly parted in a sigh and he seized the opportunity and started a French-kiss. As the kiss deepened, Kaoru felt ready to collapse. It was as if her heart had dissolved to form a puddle beneath her. She fleetingly wondered how Kenshin became so skilled at doing this, but she didn't really care... she'd take anything she got. And so they continued on in lip-lock until Kaoru, with her lungs burning, felt like she couldn't possibly take any more. Reluctantly, she pulled away from him and inhaled deeply. So caught up in the moment had she been that she hadn't even bothered to breathe, not that it mattered to her, anyway.

Kenshin looked romantically sexy at her with his heaved breathing. The way they were just too close. Kenshin licked his lips, while Kaoru bit hers…

A group people passed them and told them to find a bed. Kenshin and Kaoru went back into the car, where everyone cheered them. Kaoru blushed, as well as her very good kisser.

***

They arrived, as they placed down the hood and looked at the sea. The sea was bluer than usual. The sound of the waves crashing against each other in a mighty roar, made emotions jump. The sand was as white as chalk, and the sun was as heated as a fire. Kenshin parked the car, and together they meet the owner. He shook Misao's hand and aware her that everything was working perfectly, and if for some apparent reason problems occurred, to phone the number on his card.

Misao nodded and everyone paid up. Unpacking they all looked around in the very fancy building. Marble floors, rations, water, electricity and a radio was all they needed.

Megumi, Misao and Kaoru went to the upstairs floor, where they found three rooms, and one bathroom. They girls complained to the boys and sleeping arrangement was made…

"Since we guys, don't want to sleep among ourselves, cause you girls might take us gay or we think you guys lesbians and shit like that, male and female sleeping will be occurring, so grab your chick guys and take your room. Kaoru and Kenshin were forced to pair. They took the middle room. It was big, but not like the others. The curtains were dark blue and burgundy with gold tassels on the side. A huge burgundy silky-sheeted bed was coyly placed against the right wall, while a verandah over looked the sea. The French doors were opened and blowing in wonderful sea breeze. Kaoru went to the balcony where she looked across and saw something shimmering. It wasn't the beach…it was something else…

She took Kenshin with her, who was fixing his stuff.

"Where are you going Kaoru?" he asked

"I saw something Kenshin!" she spoke while running down the step. Inside the rooms, heavy love started as doors were shut and helpless females moaned away.

Kaoru walked faster with Kenshin on her tail…

"Oh my god!" she gasped, Kenshin followed her gaze to see a huge pool.

Going to the door, he slide it and went out onto the pool ground…

"Wow! This is great!" Kenshin spoke…

"Yeah!" she looked around the pool.

"It's twelve feet!" Kenshin saw the feet written on the side.

"Kinna deep, ne?" Kaoru looked up at him. His eyes sparkle sexiness. The water accompanied the crystal look on him. So wonderful she thought.

"Wanna take a swim with me, Kaoru?" he asked

"Uhm, sure---just let me change…"

For the longest time, Kaoru had been looking forwards to this situation. Finally, after a long time, she would be alone with Kenshin for a four days (weather it was by the pool, or in their room). The best part about it was that it was summer time and they could spend the days just soaking up the sun in deckchairs around the pool.

Kaoru lifted her sunglasses and looked over at Kenshin briefly before shutting them and leaning back into the deckchair. She saw that he was clad only in a pair beach loafers and that he wasn't wearing any shirt. She admired the well-formed shape and his well rippled build, and a grin soon formed on her face. Yep, this was the life, all right. Getting a tan and being able to watch Kenshin at the same time.

She liked being around someone like Kenshin. I mean even if it were a few days they met, she couldn't help the fact that she felt she knew him forever, that they had more than thrived on each other from moments together, there was almost like a sixth sense, that they knew each other… He was eighteen now, and she was slightly less than a year younger than him. During that time, it was like any teenage girl's dream come true... living everyday with someone who resembled a hunky model. Oh, yes, Kaoru liked hanging around Kenshin a lot

Out of the corner of her mischievous artic blue eyes, Kaoru glanced over at Kenshin again and suddenly felt glad that she didn't have to compete with another girl for him, except maybe the born naturally flirtatious, self-rude Megumi. Kaoru knew very well that she was the only constant female in Kenshin's life around his age... and she flaunted it. Kenshin was all hers, and hers alone.

She smiled at the thought. Yep, she definitely needs to stop thinking about Kenshin all the time, else she go mad or do something crazy like fall for him. Dwelling on someone like that usually results in the latter and maybe, if you're unlucky, not the former, but Kaoru really didn't care about that. She had already concluded that, yes, she had fallen for him, and, yes, she was positively mad about him. Just the thought of Kenshin and all that chiseled muscle was enough to give her Goosebumps and a slight case of the giggles whenever she thought about him…

You are in lurrrrvve, Kamiya Kaoru, a voice inside her head answered teasingly. You're in love with Himura Kenshin, of all people, you really are whack girl!

Kaoru nodded her head to herself again as she agreed with that voice. Yes, she really needed to stop thinking about Kenshin all the time. The problem was, she just couldn't help herself. It was impossible to forget the image of a certain girl playing with her dog in the park, when suddenly her old boyfriend attempts to kiss her and WALA she is saved by a brave man. Ah, my hero! It really stuck with her, and Damn with the amount of times, he kissed her, and groped her body, she had finalized with a sign that he was hers or shall we say, that is her man!

She shot Kenshin another furtive look and caught him doing the same to her. She drew her gaze back up to the sky and instantly felt like she could almost jump up and down gleefully on the spot while screaming with delight. Her mind raced, filled with pleasant thoughts. He's noticing me! He's finally noticing me! It's working! It's working! That new outfit I bought is actually working!

Kaoru found that she couldn't stop the smile that then formed on her face. After working out that nothing would happen if she didn't attract attention to herself, she had gone to the one of the malls with Misao via a school day, to buy bikini's. First she bought a black one because she it went perfect with her raven hair. Then she bought a red one to seductively match her lips, and a white to match and allow her body to be see-through and highlighted for him when she was wet. And last but not least, a nude beige colour to match her skin, giving people the impression she was naked. She had deliberately chosen them in an effort to positively seduce him. And at the moment, it looked like she was succeeding.

She'd chosen to wear the black one first, of course, and she knew that it matched the situation perfectly. Judging by the way he was gaping at her in awe, she knew she'd gotten the size just right to flaunt every curve of her almost-perfect body. She was the prime attractor in every sense of the word. She simply was going to attract Kenshin and make him fall hopelessly in love with her. At the moment, however, it was time to take the next step.

She looked over at the object of her affection and met his gaze. It took everything she had for her voice not to unnaturally peak as she asked, "Kenshin, could you go get me my towel, I think I left it inside… please?" She watched him in helpless amusement as he nodded to her in reply, almost tripped himself as he got out of his deckchair, then hurriedly stalked across the patio to the door and opened it just as quickly.

Kaoru leant back into her seat and smiled unashamedly. Yep, he had been watching her, alright. The best part about it was that she had caught him at it. She sighed pleasantly once again. It sure felt good to know someone was taking an interest in her. Especially when she had the hots for that person. And even more so when that person just so happened to be Kenshin.

She thought about him again. Oooohhh, she could just go and on and on about Kenshin and his good points. Sure, she knew he had some bad ones as well, but she still loved every little bit of him for it. It was surprising how good it felt to admit her feelings and know that she loved him.

Love. Kaoru thought about that word again and wrapped her arms around her chest, hugging herself in pleasure. It made her heart melt whenever she thought of that and Kenshin side each other over a short period of time, but never had she thought of loving Kenshin like she had today. Today, her heart was positively crumbling. She was begging for him, and more than anything, she needed her heart to be repaired... by Kenshin. Only his love could do that to her.

A movement of air beside her snapped Kaoru out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw Kenshin handing her, her baby blue towel, don't ask me what I have with the color. She smiled at him radiantly as she took it from him gracefully and placed it behind her head. Closing her eyes, she leant back into her seat to take a small nap.

Yet something nagged at her mind which kept her from falling asleep. After a long while and much debate, she opened her eyes and she raised an eyebrow when she noticed he was still standing there. Kaoru then noticed how close they were, only a meter separating them, and she fought to hold back the blush which immediately flared in her cheeks.

"You know Kaoru, I've been wondering!" he came closer…

Kaoru froze as he came closer and closer

Going down to her face, her lips trembled.

He lifted her up where he looked into her eyes. Looking at her, she swore she'd die from his heated gaze…

Kenshin moved over to the pool, and strangely, there was this grin. An evil grin of horror, crave and delight. Why did she enjoy it, she didn't know…

"Where are you carrying me?" she asked cutely

Kenshin stopped as they reached the pool…

"Here!" he placed her low to the water, where she began to scream.

"If you drop me Kenshin I will murder you!" she grabbed onto his neck… "Uh-oh! Kaoru---!" he began tipping over from her wild movement

"Oh god!" Kaoru thought and down went the two…

Kenshin rose for air, while soon followed Kaoru. She was wet and looked HOT.

"Kenshin! You are so dead!" she play shouted and swam to him, but he was too fast…

He caught her from behind and wrapped his hands around her waist…

"Kenshin!" she moaned…as he pressed against her…

Going down to her neck, he kissed it. She was real hot. Her small fingers found the shape of his head and pulled him in for more. Their eyes were shut and full of concentration. He rubbed unconsciously against her. While so did she. Turning her around, he began kissing her lips. Her wet body was pressed against his, as her hands were wrapped around his neck, while her hands pushed in his head to kiss her harder. Shoving his tongue in, Kaoru moaned and shoved hers against his. It felt so good to be like this…then as it was…his hand found its way between her legs, where he massaged her thigh…

Kaoru gasped and stopped kissing him…

"What are you doing?" she asked him in shock
