Time shifted.

Yawns

"Is it morning?" Kaoru mumbled the words… she was so tired. Her bones ached. Not to mention her head…

"Kaoru!" her mother's voice was a fresh spray of water on her face. Making Kaoru note she wasn't alone so she could curse at the pounding pain in her head…

Her mothers voice was rather distraught. Whatever got her so worked up must have been ugly.

"Mama, what's the matter? Has something happened to father?" she asked…

Her mother held her hand over her heart, imitating girl when she was in grief…

"Oh my god! My little girl, you're alright!" she hugged Kaoru tightly making Kaoru blink back in shock…

"There there mother!" Kaoru pat her mother's back in uncertainty…

"Have you any cuts, bruises?" she asked, moving Kaoru's bangs checking for sores and cuts. Kaoru's trademarks saying she'd been in the outside world.

"No! I have none! Mother, stop! Why are you so worked up?" she inquired, her brow quirked in a arch…

Her mother held her hand, patting it softly.

"Yesterday my dearest, you were nearly… nearly…killed. I thought we lost you…" she spoke

"OHH! Now I get it! No I wasn't dead, I just conked out! That's all, but this really cute guy saved me. You should of seen him mom, he's just to die for!" she spoke

"Hehehe! Well alright then. Don't get ideas now! You get dress your father and I will like to speak to you, hence, we have something to give you!" Yumi spoke, petting Kaoru's head…

"It's not a lecture, right?" Kaoru double checked

"Hmm, dunno!" Yumi spoke

"You're evil you know that?" Kaoru snarled…

"Am I aye? Hmm, well if that's so, then I did learn from the best!" she blinked one of her eyes and closed the door…

"NO I DIDN'T TEACH YOU!" Kaoru spoke…

Her mother laughed…

Kaoru sighed, 'another day here alas'

Kaoru brushed up and walked down the spiral staircase. The vortex of steps was one of which could easily make you frustrated and tumble down. On the side of the steps, many soldiers stood. I mean she was accustomed to three or four, but now it seems as if, soldiers lived within her sanctuary. Next she knew she was sleeping with them…

'I mean that's not completely bad, now is it?' Kaoru giggled, chastising herself for being so perverted…

Barking of dog

Some stray sounds of a barking dog made Kaoru run down the steps, seeing her little dog in the distance…

"SNOWY!" she squealed, quite the high pitch type as well…

She kneeled collecting the little dog ran as he ran into her embrace…

"I missed you! Did you miss me?" she cuddled the white dog…

"Of course he did!" a very gentle voice broke her converse with her very enticed little dog.

Looking up, she met a beautiful woman. Voiced quite audibly by Sano as Princess Sayo. She was so pretty and was a dear friend. Running she hugged the brown head woman, giving off all the sisterly love she had for her. She missed Sayo. A lot. When Sano and Sayo told everyone, Sayo had a girl conversation with Kaoru telling her all the things couples do. And further more, how they do it…

Kaoru's cheeks burned, as she discovered, this is how babies came about and so forth. She really didn't need to know about coughing now, did she? I mean, it's not like she was going to use it--- was she? 'Bad Kaoru…' she reprimanded herself a second time…

"How have you been?" Sayo asked, escorting her to the conference room. A room Kaoru was often called to, either for detention, notification or manners. Damn the room, Kaoru thought.

"I've been okay… how have you and your lover been, have you guys been doing those things you told me of?" Kaoru asked, dropping it like a bomb on Sayo…

Sayo's cheeks dusted a shade of faint pink, one undetectable. But yet she wouldn't lie to sister-in-law.

"If I tell, promise not to spill it with Sano!" she spoke, quite soft

"Promise… !" Kaoru stopped…

"We --- er--- we did!" Sayo blushed making Kaoru giggle…

"Eww! You guys are nuts, how could you. Naughty Sayo!" Kaoru laughed…

"It's not insanity Kaoru, it's just evolution, it's what you do in the game call love. Someday you'll be…" she paused, "bedding your boyfriend. Uh-huh, that you will!" Sayo whispered… An: I hope I wouldn't get my fic deleted for the implication of suggestive material. After all my fic is R-rated.

"Eww, not in a thousand years. No, not in a thousand million years. No, not in a zillion thousand billion ga-gillion years. Yeah that's right!" Kaoru spoke…

"Well, we'll just see about that, now will we…" she spoke, "we better get to the conference room. Your father might be angry…" Kaoru nodded while placing the small dog down and entering the dark room.

The room was poorly lit, with lots of books and a huge parlor. The mono-chromatic shades blended in perfectly with the gold accents and fire. Kaoru saw her parents and Sano sitting quite peacefully. They were awaiting her alright. Time for the lecture…

"Sit!" Kaoru took her seat with Sayo right next to her…

"Kaoru… it's come to my attention that you've been targeted too frequently. Under more than one occasion you've been used, double-crossed and used as bait for the fall of this castle. Know my darling, if that tragic day is to ever fall upon us, we will be in deep anguish. Might I add, your old man may not be able to go further…" he spoke

"Papa!" Kaoru spoke but was hushed

"Hush angel! You've been enticed too much. Your mother and I have decided, that for the safety of you always… you will ensure your safety with your own personal bodyguard…" Katsura spoke watching at how Kaoru bowed her head. All her life she had bodyguards, some were dear to her, and lost to the blood wrath of her want. Could she endure knowing another would be killed because of her…

"Father…" her voice was crumpled…

"I know Kaoru…I know you've lost so many of them. But I can assure you, that this one will not die…" he spoke

"Daddy no one is immortal…" she screamed, tears rushing down her face. Sayo comforted her with a gentle hand on her back…

"Kaoru! Please! I assure you, he will not fail you. You two have known each other hence, he's the best of best you could get. I know you two will be very happy as friends… try to see this as an opportunity. I need my heir to be strong now. So, chin up, wipe those tears…" he spoke

Kaoru didn't really feel giddy. Wiping her tears, the door opened to her bodyguard. Slowly she hoisted her eyes to his level. She gasped.

His face was serious. His features define and accented by bloody-burgundy locks which was high ponied. His eyes burned a never before seen shade, she wasn't quite sure what you called it, but the closest she could have got, was amber. Coral amber. His militant looking outfit was a must to her father on each guard that were present. His outfit was black and buttoned all the way with golden buttons and trimming. Accompanying his eyes flawlessly. His skin was smooth with not a scar on it. She really liked him, and then it hit her…

"H-he's the" she was too shock to utter another word

"That's right my darling, he's the boy who saved you!" Her mother winked…

Kaoru smiled. She truly was happy, and heck, like in hell she was giving this guy away.

"I present before you Kaoru, your personal bodyguard, Himura Kenshin." her father spoke…

"Ken…shin!" she repeated…

"What is your duty Himura Kenshin?" Katsura spoke

Kenshin stood in straight position, almost square and spoke loudly, "to protect Lady Kogoro Kaoru with my life and at all costs. The penalty will be severe if I refuse to protect her or leave her unprotected!" his salutation was strong and enforced.

Kaoru scratched her ear. He was loud, but I guess it was dad's doing…

"Very impressive dad!" Sano thought as he looked upon the young soldier…

"Well Kaoru, if you would like, you can go anywhere, once your soldier is there with you. Have the day off!" Her father spoke…

Kaoru smiled. Running into her father and mother she hugged them. "Thanks so much parents. And thank you mom, didn't I tell you he was cute!" Kaoru spoke

Her father quirked a brow…

"What are you waiting for, he's ho-ott!" her mother giggled…

"Yumi…" Katsura started…

Kaoru hugged Sayo and Sano and then soon left with Kenshin. She held him by his hand and carried him off to her room.

"I want to go to the springs. It's very beautiful. But I'll have to prove that…so, today, I'm willing to go check it out, with you of course. What will I need?" she asked him…

"Some towels, robes, a new gown or kimono!" his voice was devoid. No emotion flowed in it. His face was cut into a serious manner. Not an inch of laughter or joy flowed…

"Alright then!" she went to her draw pulling out her clothing. "What do I bath in?" she asked. He wasn't exactly sure. She picked up a robe and then came the more skimpier outfit which he thought was bringing on an instant nosebleed.

"Anyone milady!" he spoke formal as ever…

Kaoru cringed. She hated when people presented her with the raw official formality. I mean it showed rank, and to tell you the truth, she didn't like the idea or being the type to live the life of bold and beautiful. Nah-uh. She never did and never would.

"Kenshin, please, don't call me that! My name is Kaoru, and as you lady, I advise you to call me that!" she spoke

"Very well milady Kaoru!" he spoke

"Ahh! No you moron, I meant without the milady formality!" she spoke

"But that is what you are to me!" he spoke. Making a light blush cover her cheeks. I mean he didn't mean to make it sound so… yet she was sure he hadn't have a clue what her perverted mind was thinking…

"Yes Kenshin, I am your lady. But I am Kaoru. Just Kaoru… okay?" she spoke

His eyes turned to the side, "very well…Kaoru!" he spoke

"Excellent!" she went forth and kissed him on the cheek…

As quickly as it came, it soon left. Making both turn a beet shade.

"So which should I wear the pink, yellow, or blue kimono?" she asked

"Whichever you would like Kaoru!" his voice cold again

"Men are total idiots when it comes to choosing…" she whispered…

She placed the kimono over her, seeing if it'd look good. She placed them over, not liking them, just teasing that something was always wrong.

"Pink isn't my thing!" she threw the pink kimono to the side…

"How do I look?" she asked, while he sat on the bed looking at her model off her new yellow kimono…

"Nice?" he spoke…

"Arhh! You're no help Kenshin!" she grumbled…

"Why not the blue?" he asked…

"Hmm, I'll try it!" she spoke…

Quickly she changed off and came to his viewing…

"How do I look?" she asked

"Good!" his voice was again devoid.

Kaoru sighed. This guy definitely wasn't much of a chatter box. How completely bo-ring…

Before they could leave her room, Kaoru looked at Kenshin. His clothes was too formal. She wanted to make people get the impression that this was her boyfriend when she walked passed them. She didn't want people to go 'ohh-ohh, there's the princess and her very cute bodyguard, wow, I wonder where he lives?' she thought it wasn't a pretty way to imagine it. But she had come certain, looking and being ordinary was something she often wanted to feel. Knowing Kenshin wouldn't break her father's rules, she thought there was only one way out, and so, it would be her way…

"Oh Kenshin!" his name ringed…

He turned…

"You know!" she came closer with flames in her eyes. And that smile. It was pure evil…

He arched a brow while a silver shudder raced up his spine…

As she came closer, he walked a step backward to the bed…

And closer she came, licking her lips in sear evil…

Kenshin swallowed when she was almost a breath away from him. Pushing him onto the bed…

His eyes widen in shock. Soon she followed over him, pulling at the buttons of his shirt. He rolled taking her with him. They fell off the bed, making Kenshin hurt.

"You broke my fall!" she grinned, pulling at his shirt…

"What are you doing?" he spoke in dread…

'What a stupid question? I'm taking off your shirt so you can wear Japanese clothes moron!'

Kenshin managed to escape. But Kaoru with evil in her eyes ran to him. In the middle of the room. She lunged forth on him, grabbing his neck making him lost of direction with her bosom directly pressed against his face…

In an instant the door was opened to Sano and Sayo…

"Wow lil sis, take it easy, the guys gonna be here everyday, keep some for tomorrow!" Sano spoke

"And what were you telling me of being the rude stinky one?" Sayo asked seeing Kenshin's face buried in Kaoru's bosom. His hand was around her waist while hers were around his neck. Such a sensual position. (again r rating allows this, y, coz I didn't portray anything sexually)

"Make sure dad doesn't catch you…" Sano paused, "oh yeah, dad said to give you this. Some money to pay for Kenshin's first day!" Sano spoke…

"See yuh later lil dudes. Don't rough her up too much Kenshin… then again, I don't if he will, Kaoru's kinna violent. Who'll be winning, no one knows…" Sano shut the door…

Kenshin gave way falling to the floor with Kaoru falling with him. Again he broke her fall. Her hair scattered over his making him intoxicated with her scent. Her eyes, her lips, her skin and so on drugged him…

Her eyes sparkled, and never before did Kaoru feel so tingly in her life. Was it she felt attached for him, or was it that he was some goddamn player to have this feeling roam in girls? I mean she shouldn't care. Besides, Kenshin was her friend. But in the back of her mind, she was afraid to say, she could of fall for him…

Finally pulling his shirt, he allowed her. Her cheeks burned when she took in his taunted stomach. Chiseled to perfection…

She got up, feeling his member in her softness as she got up. It awoke something in time. It emanated in the room far too potent.

"Put this on!" she spoke… not wanting to look into his eyes..

He nodded and soon they were off. The weather was sunny, but something really pulsed. The fact she couldn't hold his hands. I mean, she thought Kenshin as a friend. I mean, it would be nice…

"Himura…" a big boy, two girls and a group of boys grew near…

Her wish was granted by the fates. He interlaced their fingers, holding her near…

"Razuhita, Kiyosato, Tomoe, Kikyuo!" he spoke… not giving a damn of them…

"Pretty girl you got there. She your girl?" A guy in group asked…

Kenshin looked back Kaoru. She was so pretty. Why not. But she was his lady… but she said she was Kaoru… so, he was going with that…

"Yes!" Kenshin spoke. Walking with Kaoru…

"Where you going Himura. Why don't you and doll face stay a while, or she could --- and you could split!" Enishi came out the crowd, blinking at Kaoru. Kaoru swallowed hard…

"Such a pretty one Himura, have you moved on? Or, are you still all over me?" Tomoe asked

"I've bathed myself as a fool. I allowed you to dog me, and use me. I will not in favor call you a lady, and with the little respect you have yourself, I advise you to buy yourself some dignity and structure before you make stupid statements fly out that dirty sharp mouth of yours!" his eyes burning amber. Pissed that she would show herself to them…

Kenshin pushed through. Kaoru was pulled back from Tomoe…

"So he thinks you're better than me?" Tomoe took her brother's bokken…

Kenshin gasped when Kaoru's fingers were not in his.

Turning back he saw what would look like that beginning of the end…

"I do not wish to fight miss!" Kaoru spoke gently

Tomoe pushed her back. Making Kaoru scream. She was a weak one…

"What kinna girl is she Kenshin, defenseless?" Tomoe lashed a bokken down on Kaoru…

Kenshin ran in, holding Kaoru to him.

"No Kenshin… I won't walk away from a battle!" she spoke

"But you are my la---" he was cut off when her finger hushed him…

"And I am Kaoru!" she smile…

Kenshin understood. Tomoe and Kaoru were center ringed. Kaoru was far too defenseless. She hoisted her hands like a martial artist, but her stance was all wrong making Tomoe lash forth on her. Kaoru fell, rubbing her hand in pain. Angry at this girl, Kaoru tried to push her.

Tomoe rebounded it making Kaoru fall yet another time.

"You can't even fight, you're no match for the awesome Tomoe!" she spoke

Kaoru sighed. Looking at the ground for almost a second, she hoisted herself. Her father taught her so much, and now--- she would infiltrate. Instead of Tomoe being a human, Kaoru imagined her as the practice dummy in the dojo. Concentrating well, she attacked. Tomoe caught her hand bringing her bokken to Kaoru's throat…

Kaoru smiled. Not at all angry. Taking the bokken she shoved it in Tomoe's stomach making her fall. Tomoe got up as fast as she could, grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it in Kaoru's eyes. Kaoru couldn't see. With wild attacks to Kaoru, Kaoru on one knee groaned.

'Concentrate!'

"Kogoro Roundhouse technique!" she finally sent Tomoe flying into a far tree. No one saw what Kaoru really did. But Kenshin in awe did…

"And never mess with me you sick bitch!" Kaoru shouted…

Kenshin blinked back. Clapping his hands, Kaoru blushed…

Taking her hands, he lead her to the springs…

"Good afternoon! How many I assist you two? A couple spa? Right this way!" the woman lead them to a couple spa completely unaware they were kids and not anything but friends…

"I'm sorry maim but we're not a !" Kenshin cut in but again Kaoru hushed him with her fingers…

"Urh-- what my husband meant!" she paused, grasping Kenshin's hand in hers. "Is that we want something more--- urh, smaller--- more intimate!" Kaoru spoke. It was the only thing that came to her. Kenshin watched her in awe with an 'o' at the ending. This girl was so very wicked.

"Oh, why didn't you say that?" the woman paused, "are you two on a honeymoon?" she asked

"Urh--urh, yes! We are. We're really looking forward for our little chibi." Kaoru lied so raw…patting her flat stomach…

Kenshin made a bigger 'o' with his mouth.

"Well this is as intimate as we get!" the woman smiled leaving them to be…

The spa's hot mist burst in bubbles making the small intimate spa look so romantic…

"Lady Kaoru, why did you say such things?" he inquired

"Oh come on Kenshin, it slipped!" she spoke

"Slipped under more than one occasion!" he assured…

"Yes I know." she smiled. They both changed off.

"I'll spend half of the time and you'll spend half!" Kaoru spoke

Kenshin went first, after half an hour. Kaoru went in. She took off her kimono revealing her to a very revealing piece of attire. Pulling the scarf from her hair, it sent her hair flying. Shoving her hands in her hair, she toyed with her hair, making it look so very good. Her eyes were then closed in relaxation and peacefulness. Walking into the water, she swam to the far ends…and then, she relaxed…

Something then moved behind her. Kaoru moved back, shock…

Whatever it was, surfaced… Kaoru screamed.

"Kenshin??" Kaoru didn't know where to start…

Kenshin looked at her.

A sudden knock made them look up…

"I see you two look quite romantic. It's on the house for people who rent this spa to have some fine sake!" the woman brought sake to the side in champagne glasses…

"Thank you!" Kaoru spoke…

Kenshin pulled her when he saw she was heading in for the sake.

"No!" he scolded.

"Just a little!" she asked

"No!"

"Okay, a little little!" she spoke

"Well I guess, but just a little!" he spoke

She grinned. Taking her glass up, she drank it in one shot…

"I thought you said just a little?" he asked

"Opps! I forgot!" she burped…

Somewhere along the line, Kaoru began becoming tipsy or in other words, drunk.

"Oh--Kenshin!" she wavered to him. Kenshin held her, just in case she'd fall and drown herself…

"You're so cute!" she kissed his nose…

Kenshin blushed… "so are you!" he couldn't believe he just said that…

"Can I get a kiss?" she asked cutely

Kenshin looked at her in shock. Could he give her or not. His mind was made up. Nope, he wouldn't.

"Please!" she whined…

I mean Kenshin was often a very rebellious and cold kid who never took shitting around from anyone, but the way, Kaoru's eyes voiced was almost drowning and cute. She looked so fragile, that if he were to utter the word no, she'd spill silvery blue. Something he wouldn't make a reality…

"No" he faltered not

"Arghh!! I SAID TO KISS ME GODDAMN IT!! I ORDER YOU TO" she shouted…

Okayyyy then!!

Sighing, he took a couple of minutes to control his emotions. He never kissed a girl. Never, and so the experience was all new. Slowly, his lips touched hers. They didn't move for a second. Kenshin moved his lips, making Kaoru move hers on his. Their lips touched again, this time more vigorous. Her hands were cuffed in his hair. As he kissed with authenticity.

Lifting her up, she moaned his name wanting more. Oh man he really shouldn't of infatuated her this way. This is not sexual or lemon! It's mild as we say

He asked the owner to change Kaoru, adding a couple box extra if she did. The woman accepted. Soon after Kenshin carried Kaoru off to the sea. Making her get some breeze to air out. Instead she fell asleep, muttering his name

'What have I done? Do I deserve this?' he thought…

"Oh Kenshin" she cuddled in his chest…

"Shh! I'm right here…Kaoru!" he paused

It was late… walking back to the castle. He was halted by his name.

"Kenshin" his voice was deep

"Yes sir?" Kenshin spoke

"Oh Kenshin, kiss me one more time!" Kaoru moaned…

Katsura's brows quirk in anger.

"What exactly happened with you and my daughter? Why is she so tired?" Katsura shouted…

'Busted…'
