Kenshin's Angels: Chapter 7- Understanding
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, I am just a fan.
Author's Notes: I know some of you(a lot of you) have given up on this fic and thus stopped reading it. Even though you all are not reading this thing anymore, I shall pay the greatest respects to you because you have stuck with me for so long regardless the long gaps of time between the chapters. I will continue this ficcy, because I still have a little hope. This fanfiction is drawing to an end(?), but I still think that it should be kept going, so I can't say too soon. My first completed fic(before this one) was too rushed according to my reviewers, so I am trying to improve on that.
Warning: THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT KISSING...LIKE A KISS.
~+~+~+~
Misao was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. The position they were in was unromantic, but Misao didn't care AT ALL. To be kissed(for the first time ever) by the person you have been in love with for years was...wonderful. Then she felt something wet against her lips.
His...his...TONGUE?!!!!!
Misao panicked.
~*~*~*~
Aoshi was also pleasantly surprised, but in another way. He was pleasantly surprised by how soft her lips were. He was bursting with desire to taste it, but he didn't know how.
Then he remembered the romance novels(A/N:Come Come Paradise trilogy) that the old perverted geezer(Okina) had forced him to read.
'Thank you, Okina, wherever you are.' Aoshi thought, amused.
He slowly opened his mouth and was careful not to scare Misao. He probed his tongue to meet her lips. He felt her tense up, and broke the kiss(it all happened very fast).
Misao licked her lips, and that caused Aoshi to feel various different sensations. She paused a while and said, "I have never kissed before."
"Me neither."
Misao was really happy. That obviously meant something.
"Can we do it again? I mean, I sort of...messed it up." Misao asked. It had never occurred to her to actually ask why he kissed her. She already knew. It's like that.
Love...is like that.
Without waiting for an answer, Misao's lips met with Aoshi's again. This time, she knew what to do. Megumi had always talked about it. First, the...probing...well, that's done.
Then, the real kiss starts...
~-~-~-~
The sun came up quite quickly after that. Misao was sleeping on the sofa, Aoshi was holding her hand and sitting at the edge of the sofa. He hadn't slept a wink. Aoshi rarely slept, anyway.
*FLASHBACK*
After quite a long period of intimate interaction(HA!), Aoshi, being the older and more sensible one, told her that she needed some rest, as she was injured. Misao pouted, but said nothing more. She fell asleep after Aoshi had promised that he would hold her hand.
*End FLASHBACK*
Aoshi studied her small, heart-shaped face. Even when she is sleeping, she looks like a stubborn woman.
Yes, a woman.
Right then she started to stir and blink her eyes open.
"Hi." She smiled up at him. And then she started to frown. "Why are you still here? Aren't you a dream?"
Aoshi smiled and helped her up. Boy, she was weird. Cute weird.
"Go and wash your face and gurgle you mouth with mouth wash. I've got no extra toothbrush."
Misao, fully awake this time, decided not to argue but was grumbling under her breath. Aoshi caught words like 'stupid', 'like a child', and some other profanities.
Misao was clearly not a morning person.
~_~_~_~
Misao gurgled with all her might. Aoshi was such an asshole. She KNEW basic hygiene. In fact, she might not look it (and act it), but she is actually a really clean person.
Angrily, she spat out the disgusting mouthwash. It really stung her tongue.
Tongue...
She blushed and shook her head furiously. It was time to think of more important matters...like how the hell she was going to warn Himura.
~=~=~=~
Himura Kenshin and co. were dead worried. Misao was missing. Who could have kidnapped her? Enishi and his men? That was a possibility. What about Shishio? He also has a Shanghai branch. But why kidnap? Shishio's main plan is to kill everyone. About Enishi... he wasn't sure.
Where could she be??!
~&~&~&~
After Misao washed and cleaned up, she walked out of the bathroom. She saw Aoshi, already cleaned in another spare bathroom.
Misao, being smarter than most people, knew that she was still being kidnapped, love or no love. A ninja does his duties right to the end.
"So, when do I get to see Enishi?"
"I'm sorry, Misao. But Enishi will not harm you. You are to go to his apartment now."
"Will you stay with me?"
Aoshi had a ghost of a smile on his face. "Whenever I can."
~()~()~()~
Misao sat on the couch in Enishi's office. She was neither gagged nor tied up. Aoshi stood somewhere near, And Enishi sat on the chair behind the big oak table. Misao's palms were sweating and she was clutching the fabric(jeans) above her knees.
"What do you want from me?" Misao asked, not letting her guard down. She was still wondering if she was being kidnapped when she was perfectly free.
"I want to lure Battousai here. He never answers my challenges."
'Duh,' Misao thought. 'Who would want to answer challenges from an ultra- psycho maniac like you?' That thought was quite unpleasant.
Enishi began to stand up and sort some papers. He nodded to Aoshi. Aoshi understood.
"Get up," Aoshi said to Misao. When Misao refused to and stubbornly(cutely) stayed at her seat, Aoshi gently pulled her up and led her out of the room, leading to Enishi's living room. Enishi stayed at a large house with only one floor. Outside was a path leading to a dojo where he practised in.
The gentle way Aoshi treated Misao was not unobserved by Enishi. Aoshi stayed in the soundproof office, knowing that Enishi wanted to talk to him.
Enishi didn't waste any time. "Is it my imagination, or have you and that girl have any relationship?"
Aoshi gave a short and honest answer: "Yes."
Enishi was not affected. "How?"
"She was a member of the Oniwaban. Don't worry. I'll still do my duties. But if you dare lay a finger on her, you'll wish you had never come to this world."
Enishi smiled. He was too late. She belonged to someone else. But he had no time to think of these things. The Battousai must have seen the letter by now...
~!~!~!~
Kenshin stared at the words written on a small piece of paper:
Battousai,
You want your agent back, you come and get her at my place.
Enishi
It was short and simple. There was not a single word that implies a fight, but it was obvious.
Kenshin sweared. He rarely sweared, although he has been saying all sorts of profanities recently. He had always avoided Enishi's challenges, and Enishi has never really appeared right in front of his doorstep. He always had a choice. But now, there is no choice. This time, there is an innocent person involved - Misao.
She had nothing to do with this. By now Kenshin was really angry. He set out to find that bastard(another reckless vulgarity) and get Misao out of the place safe and sound.
"I'm coming with you."
Kenshin froze at the voice. It was Kaoru.
~^~^~^~
A/N: I know that scene wasn't up to your standards. But it is my first time, so forgive me!!! And I also know that this chapter was really not good, and I sincerely apologize for the lateness as I was immersed in things like posting results of my school blah blah.
