TO TAME THE BEAST

Part One Chapter Eight: De Vries

'Why wont this guy talk? Its better than being beaten to death like this. However it is fun for

me and everyone else watching.' Battousai thought to himself. "Tell us what we want to

know. Everything, all the pain will stop if you tell us what we want to know." He told the

man tied to the chair. He had long Black hair, that had green streaks in them. You could

hardly tell what his face looked like any more, because of his blood covering it. His shirt was

torn off the left shoulder, and ripped diagonal. Hands tied behind his back to the chair. Feet

tied so that he could not get up and just walk away even if he still had his hands tied. Giving a

curt nod to two men standing behind the man, Battousai watched them Start to yell and beat

the man for information. Shaking his head Kenshin walked out of the room with out a

backwards glance.

Walking back to his study on the first floor of the mansion. Kenshin sat behind a dark wood

desk. Propping his hands on his desk he looked around his study. Everything was the way it

always would be. Always. There was a window seat with blue and red pillow to lean back

into. The curtains where a gold color. Setting off the hardwood walls and floors. A Persia rug

was in middle of the room in front of his desk. The room was filled with pictures of great art

and books. Books from the great Edger Allen Poe to Robert Frost, even a few mysteries and

romances. A plant to add a little bit of life was in the corner near the chair that was set to

read books in.Or files in his case. The chair was a comfort chair. Plush to help a person relax

in it. The fireplace was a nice touch to help also. In the winters he sometimes settled down in

the chair in front of the fire with a nice scotch. Or fresh glass of blood. All in all the room

looked to be a comfort room.

Upstairs on the second floor Kaoru was in still in the room where she had been thrown into.

She was sitting at the chair by the window. Staring through the window to the night sky, with

stars twinkling for all to see. She was singing to herself very softly.

Twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder where you are. Up above in the sky twinkling up so

high.

The light shinning through the window showed tears glistening down Kaorus cheeks. She had

her feet curled underneath her in the chair. Head laid back tilted looking out the window. Her

silk white robe looked like a dress on her. Kaorus beautiful Blue-Black hair was flowing

down her left shoulder.

It seems as if Kaoru had been sitting in the same spot for hours. When battousai came into the

room after doing some work he saw her there. As soon as he walked into the room he noticed

his mate was asleep in the chair. Walking over to her, Kenshin watched her for a few

minutes. Thinking 'Shes beautiful.' He put his right hand behind her back and slowly lifted

her. Putting his left hand under her knees and gently lifting Kaoru so she would not wake.

After Kenshin had his woman in his arms he started heading into the directions of the open

door. Kenshin thought i was time to have Kaoru where she belonged again. In their room, in

his bed, next to him.

Walking into their room Kenshin walked over to the bed. It looked as if one of the servants

had already been there to turn down the bed for them. Gently he lowered the treasure in his

arms to the bed. Walking to the walk in closet he got out of his clothes. left wearing nothing

but his boxers. He scuffled into the bedroom. Turning out all of the lights before he went to

bed. Curling up behind Kaoru he pulled the covers up. Kenshin spooned Kaoru into

him.Moving her hair to the side so he could put his face in her neck. Closing his eyes he

breathed in the jasmine scent of his mate. "Good night Koishii." He whispered into her neck.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((Kaorus Dream)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

It was so dark. Every where she looked there was darkness. Turning this way and that she

heard a noise that sounded like metal clashing in the night. Running in the direction of the

noise. Kaoru was breathing hard, as if every breath she took was a challenge. Finally is

seemed as if she had been running in one direction with no way out. Stopping a minute.

Kaoru looked around. The noise of clashing metal seemed to be getting louder to her. She

started running again in the direction of the sound. All of a sudden she came to a wide open

space with trees, grass, and rocks. In the middle of the clearing was a red headed man in a GI

fighting another man. The other man looked as if he was a mummy. All wrapped up in

bandages. Swords where clashing into each other. From one of the angels of the attacks she

realizes that the red headed man was her mate, Battousai, Kenshin.

'Whats going on here? Where am I?' Kaoru thought. She wanted to go running to her mate.

She wanted to yell and cry, stop this. All of a sudden the man in bandages turned towards her.

Every thing that happened from there on out seemed to be in slow motion. As if time had

slowed down tremendously. The burned wonder charged towards Kaoru, raising his sword

ready to strike. Ready to strike for a kill. Kaoru could not move. She was suspend in time.

Not moving, hearing. Nothing. As his sword started to slice downward towards her she yelled

at the top of her lungs. Or so it felt like, but no sound came out.

Kaoru woke up screaming. Jerking herself out of Kenshins hold. Sitting straight up in the

bed. Kenshin woke-up with a start, thinking maybe they where under attack. Her body was a

mass of cold sweat. Heart beating so fast, and loud. She thought maybe even the people in

the room them could even hear it. "where am I" Kaoru asked out loud Reaching up and

searching her person for any infliction of any kind. Not finding anything she looked around

the room.

Noticing for the first time she was not in the room that she originally feel asleep in. This was

her and Kenshins room. The room they shared together.The room was decked out to look

stylish and modern with a little touch of medieval to it. The bed was in the room. It was a

queen size bed. Red lace curtains surrounded the bed. And white silk sheets covered the bed.

The balcony was open. Wind blowing the curtains in to the room. Making the room look

mystical. The curtains was a see through white. The door that led to the walk in closet was

next to the door that led into the en suit. The en suite also connected from another door to the

walk in closet. It seemed as if every thing was in its place. Feeling Kenshin just sitting behind

her. Not moving. Awaiting for what ever maybe she would do at that very moment. 'Why did

I have a dream like that?' she thought. Kenshin always a shadow in her mind. Reading her

thoughts asked, "What dream Koishii?" His voice barely above a whisper.

Turning her head just slightly, Kaoru came face to face with Kenshin. In a hushed whisper she

said "Death." Kenshin looked at Kaoru for a moment. Trying to gage what her reaction to her

dream was. Also to see if she was lying to him. It was as if she had read his mind she spoke

"I am not lying." Her words where the seal of finalization. Her voice was soft, but there was

a steal underneath it. Letting him know that she did not appreciate that he thought in any way

she could or would lie.

Kenshin eye Kaoru for a moment. Not really sure of what to do next. He had a idea of what

he wanted to do. However he was not sure if it was the best course of action at this very

moment. Seeing heat blaze into her eyes, his decision was made for him. Kenshins eyes

wondered to her full pink lips just for a fraction in time, before his lips closed over her own.

He seemed to be testing how much she would allow. Even thought a month has past since he

claimed what he believed was rightfully his. This red head did not want to screw up what he

could finish up with a little stress management. Deepening the kiss. Taking it into something

more than innocents. Kaour it seemed returned the attention she was getting from his mouth.

Kenshins hand lifter to cradle her neck. Helping to take the kiss deeper. As the kiss become

mush more than it originally was Kaoru moaned. Opening her mouth for him to explore. And

explore he did. His tongue tasted her. Her Body and mind he knew all to well. He knew how

she would feel when ever he turned over for her in the middle of the night. Kenshin had his

eyes open watching her as they kissed. After a few moment he closed his eyes and seeped into

the feeling of kindled passion. Finally the two came up for air.

Opening her eyes Kaoru looked at him. She could remember when she first met him. All she

could think about was getting away. It took almost a month, but she did not see the same

monster everyone else sees. Kaoru saw the man, under neath it all.

Kaoru was brought out of her journey through memory lane. His voice called to her "What

are you thinking?" Looking in to his eyes.Kaoru just smiled and brought his mouth back to

hers.

The light shinning through the window crept along towards the bed. Light touching every part

of the room. A groan came forth from some where under the covers. Just laying there, not

making a move. Kaoru listened to all the sounds around her. She could hear the water running

in the en suit. Before long Kenshin was walking in to there room. He looked clean and fresh.

He was dressed in a business suit. "I see you are finally awake. Get up. I dont want you start

getting lazy." He said it in such a level and calm voice. Kaoru just looked at him. "Pray tell

why would I do what you say, again?"She caught his quick grin before it vanished. Trying to

take the air of being nonchalant. Kenshin went about getting ready for work. Toss teasingly

over his shoulder was his reply "As you said again. That would also require you to have a

first time." Grinning he left for the day with out another word. Kaoru lazed in bed a minute

just looking after him. As she thought about it, her temper started to take way. "WHY THAT

ARROGANT," Before she complete the sentence his laughing voice filled her head. "Now

dont go and finish that sentence. Be nice. Now get up. We have some where we need to be

in a hour." With those final words she heard no more from him.

Grumbling Kaoru got out of bed. After she did her normal morning routine of showering and

getting dressed. Looking into the mirror to examine her outfit. She was wearing a dark pair of

hip hugger blue jeans. A Black shirt that was tied in to a knot at her belly button. Her hair

was flowing down her back. Kaoru reached over and opened her heart shaped jewelry box.

Reaching in she got her silver and gold Geneva Quartz watch and put it on. Putting on a

choker necklace that has cherry blossoms on it. Looking at the choices before her of belly

button rings. Choosing the gold diamond. Looking over everything that she was wearing, she

noticed that she was missing a ring. However not just any ring. The Ring. The ring that

Kenshin himself picked out and gave her to show that she was his. "Its not like I do not have

the mark still to show for our union."Kaoru muttered out loud. Thinking about it she would

not have the mark so visible anymore. Except Kenshin kept remarking her every time he gets

to mad or they make love. Kaoru reached for the only ring that was in her jewelry box. The

ring was a sapphire and white diamond cute ring. The stones where outlined in silver. Kaoru

started to remember when she had received the ring from Kenshin.

She was sitting in the middle of there bed. The moonlight was shinning bright, curtaining the

room with silver light. Kaoru was in a red silk robe, part of it was hanging off her left

shoulder. The red was a contrast to her beautiful white skin, and bluish black hair. She looked

as if she was waiting for her lover. Kaoru heard the door to the bedroom open. Turning

around she saw Kenshin walking towards the bed. Raising up on her knees when he stopped at

the edge of the bed. Looking up at him then to his hands. She stared at what was in Kenshins

hand. In his hand was a beautiful with sapphire and white diamond stones incased in silver.

The light from the moon was bouncing off of the ring. Kenshins eyes was swirling with

amber flecks when she met his eyes. Trying to contain a gasp of surprise from what this

meant. Taking her by the left hand he slipped the ring on Kaorus ring finger. Looking up at

him silently asking with her eyes "what are you doing?" Kenshin said in a deep rumbling

voice "This is to show my possession. That YOU belong to me. My mate." Kaorus heart was

beating fast in her chest. She thought it was going to burst from where it lay because of it

beating so fast. Breathing only one word "Mate." That very one word confirmed everything

that she had been trying to fight against. Being claimed by him. Her body knew him more

than she had ever known. Kaorus heart from that moment on was his forever. Her soul was

his to keep. After Kenshin put the ring on her finger and made his declaration he laid her

down easily and made sweet passionate love to his one and only.

Kaoru remembering that very night and what happened sent shivers through her whole body.

Shaking her head to try and get rid of the memory. Kaoru did her make-up. Fixing black

eyeliner around her eyes to make them look bigger and to make her eyes stand out more.

Using a night blue eye shadow. Kaoru was not like other people. She did not like the color

red that much. 'unless it comes to Kenshins hair.' she thought. "Why thank you koishii." a

voice purred into her head. Shaking her head at him. "I should have known that you would be

spying on my thoughts." kaoru answered back in her head.

When she got no response she continued with doing her make-up. Like she was thinking. She

does not really like the color red, plus is was just a bad lipstick for her. Koaru settled for a

pink gloss for her lips. The pink was a pink frost color with a shine and gloss to give it more

of a shine and wet look. Making everyone take more notice of kissable lips. Looking at

herself in the mirror for one final look before she left to go and meet Kenshin downstairs.

Making her way downstairs and into the study where her mate resided at the moment. Moving

to site at the window seat. Waiting for whatever he had made her get out of bed for. He said

business. She says need more sleep. Looking out the window at the sunny garden. However

before she could address Kenshin a man in all black walked into the room. Stating that he had

the files which Kenshin had requested. "Mr. Himura I have the Files on the man that was

captured and his organization." With that said the man in black placed the files in Kenshins

awaiting hand. Turning around and leaving the room.

Kenshin opened the file and read the content.

A/N: Hiya! This is a way better chapter than the last. Well at least I think so. Im sorry it

takes me so long to write chapters. And even when I do they are so short. Ive been working

on this one for three days. Yeah This is at the beginning of page 7. Thats a lot better than

just three pages. Not a whole lot better but better. i would like to thank you all for reading

this fic. I would like to make a special thanks to everyone that reviews.

I was asked in a review where did i get my references for the vampire mating. Well I have

been a big vampire fan for some time. From all the stories I have read. Stories from Published

bestsellers to on The information is out there on vampires and

everything. However even with each vampire story you read there will be a twist in each

one. What i mean by that is, each story will have its own unicness. Not every story is the

same.

So I am just putting my own twist to RK as vampires. And taking vampires my own, writing

it like I think that they might actually be if they where real....

I suggest reading

Christine Feehan...:The Dark Series. That is her vampire series. I love her. She is one of my

favorite authors.

Also another one of my Favorite authors is Laurell. K. Hamilton. Her Anita Blake series is

the best. I have read some of her books in that series over and over again. She not only deals

with vampires but shape shifters too. Wiccas, etc...

Thank you again for reviewing my Fic.
