Pervious on Kaoru and the Battosai-
"Please have a heart and let Kaoru come home with me." Battosai laughed when he heard this, "Didn't you just say I was a demon and that demons don't have hearts? Oh and unlike you Kaoru is free to go home when ever she wants to she's no longer my prisoner." "W…what do you m…mean unlike me?" Jaaku asked nervously. "Because, I'm going to kill you." Battosai grinned evilly.
~Kaoru and the Battosai~
Chapter 26
~Blood Spilled and a Candle light Dinner
Kaoru's eyes widened as Battosai's words echo through out the castle. 'He's going to kill him…I can't stand that jerk Jaaku …but can I stand by and watch Battosai kill him?…' Kaoru questioned herself as she watched Battosai advancing towards Jaaku, making their way down the stairs. 'Can I stand by and watch him kill?' Jaaku now had backed up all the way to the castle door he sunk to the ground as he watched Battosai come closer and closer.
"Battosai." Kaoru whispered before she ran down the stairs. She stopped one she was behind Battosai, she could see the beads of sweat that trickled down Jaaku's face and how his hands shook nervously. Battosai had longed stopped in front of him placing his hand on the hilt of his katana he unsheathed it. "H…how can y…you kill an …an un…unarmed …ma…man…" Jaaku spoke the best he could. Battosai grinned "Why don't you hush and see how I kill an unarmed man."
"Battosai please don't kill him." Kaoru finally spoke up but Battosai tuned her voice out. 'Did he hear me?…' Kaoru came closer to Battosai she grabbed the back of his gi and pulled on it lightly. "Please don't kill him." Battosai brought his hand back and pushed her lightly back. Kaoru stumbled as she watched Battosai's next move.
Battosai brought his katana up above his head "Die you worthless dog." He yelled as he began to bring his katana down on Jaaku's head. Jaaku closed his eyes in fear, but when he felt a sudden warmth on him he opened his eyes to see that Battosai had stopped his attack. Battosai amber eyes were wide as he looked down at Kaoru kneeling over Jaaku.
"Kaoru, what are you doing?" Battosai spat down at her. Kaoru looked at him with tearful eyes "I can't let you kill him." 'Why won't she let me kill him?…is he just as I thought?…is he her lover?…' Battosai's eyes narrowed in rage, "Kaoru, move!" "No I wont. I can't stand him anymore than you can but I won't let you kill him." 'So he's not her lover than…why does she protect him.'
"Please, Battosai, don't kill him." Kaoru pleaded with him. "Kaoru, move." "No!" "Move or I'll kill you too." 'damn it why did I say that…I'd never mean to bring her harm…I could never kill her…' Kaoru looked at Battosai with shock 'kill me?…would he go to such links as to kill me just to kill Jaaku …' "Kaoru." Battosai whispered as his right hand, holding his katana felled to his side. "Kaoru." He whispered again looking down at the floor.
Jaaku began to laugh "So I see it now. The demon has fallen in love with Kaoru. Well then I guess I'll have to do this the hard way." Kaoru suddenly felt a firm grip around he throat, she brought her hands up trying to pull Jaaku's hands off from around her neck. Battosai head shoot up as he heard her grabs for air. "Damn you." Battosai said as he tightened the grip on his katana.
"Demon, if you want Kaoru to live then let us leave together." Jaaku smiled. Battosai glared with dark amber eyes. "I will let you leave but not together." Battosai spoke emotionless. Jaaku smirked "You're not as tough as I thought you where." He said letting Kaoru go. She fell to the floor but was caught by Battosai's left arm before making impact with the cold floor. He sat her aside as he spoke "I think you misunderstood me. When I said I would let you leave I meant that you'll be leaving earth. You're going straight to hell without Kaoru by you're side."
Battosai grabbed Jaaku by his gi and threw he up against the door "And before I kill you I think I'll have some fun." He said as he slammed the hilt of his katana against Jaaku's face. He then threw him to them ground "Where's you're courage now?" he asked him as he grabbed his hand and ram into the floor. Jaaku began to cry with each pounding Battosai gave him "Don't ever think you could threat Kaoru and get away with it. You're not much fun anyways so just die." Battosai said as he stabbed Jaaku in the neck. "You are a demon." Jaaku said barely alive. Battosai turned the katana and slashed sideways pulling it out of his neck. "Worthless dog." He spat as he slung the blade to rid it of blood and sheathed it.
He then looked at Kaoru lying on the floor, walking over to her he knelt down "Kaoru." Kaoru opened her eyes to see Battosai looking over her. She brought herself to her knees and saw Jaaku lifeless body only a few feet away, "Battosai why?" "Kaoru I'm…" "Why did you kill him?" Kaoru interrupted him. "He threaten you're life." Was his only reply. After a brief silence "Kaoru, are you okay." Kaoru nodded looking away from Battosai and the lifeless Jaaku. 'Does she hate me now?…I guess I wouldn't blame her…' Battosai thought sighing. Still looking away Kaoru was shocked as Battosai pulled her into a hug. "Kaoru, I'm sorry." Kaoru went limp in his arms and continued to stay quite.
Kaoru felt her body being lifted up, Battosai carried her up stairs stopping when he reached the top. "Sano." Battosai said looking down at Sano and Yahiko who had watched the whole event. "Have it cleaned up." Was all Battosai said as he turned and walked down the dark hallway. When he reached her room he laid Kaoru on the bed and tucked her in under the covers. "Battosai." Kaoru whispered. Battosai looked down at her, his amber eyes meeting her blue orbs. "What if people come looking for him." Battosai sighed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "Will you kill them too?" she questioned him. Battosai didn't answer her questioned.
"Do you hate me, Kaoru?" Battosai finally said. 'Hate him …why would I hate him…why would he think that …I didn't want him to kill but I don't hate him because he did…' "No I don't hate you." Battosai took a deep breath in relief, he turned to look at her "Rest Kaoru." He said as he got up and walked out of Kaoru's room.
He went to his room and undressed, stepping into the shower 'So she doesn't hate me…I feel relived after hearing that …I don't think I could bear her to hate me…I love her but should I tell her that I feel this way about her…what if she does feel the same…I know she doesn't hate me …but what if she feels we're just friends and wants nothing more than that…if that's the case could I continued to leave with her here…' Battosai came out of his thoughts as he turned the water off and stepped out of the shower.
Getting dressed, he opened the door to his room to find Kaoru sitting on his bed. Kaoru turned her head to see him. Looking over him she blushed violently, his wet blood red hair was down and dripping, his gi was loosely tied reveling his chest. Battosai was the first to speak "What is it?" Kaoru was locked in her gaze as she took in every detail about him. "Kaoru." She was finally snapped out of her admiring him and blushed even redder when she noticed his smile. "Huh?" was all she said. "I said what is it?" "I didn't want to be alone that's all."
Battosai smirked "So are you hungry?" Kaoru nodded. "Okay, come with me then." Battosai and Kaoru made their way to the kitchen. "Kaoru go to the dinning room while I cook." 'I don't want her trying to help me cook as bad as she cooks…' Kaoru frowned 'I was going to help him…but I guess he doesn't want my help …wonder why…' Kaoru thought as she sat down at the dinning room table.
Battosai placed the cooked food on two plates then looked around for some candles. Finding some he checked to make sure they didn't happen to be Sano 'wouldn't want to accidentally sat him on fire again…' he then came out to the dinning room carrying a tray with the food and lighted candles. He placed a plate in front of Kaoru and one in front of he sit then went back into the kitchen. He came back out with two glasses and a bottle of wine.
Sitting down he poured each of them a glass full "Wow, Battosai this looks great." Battosai only replied with a smile. After they were done eating they sat at the table in silence. Battosai moved his sit closer to Kaoru, Kaoru watched him in confusion "What are you doing?" Battosai kept quite as he leaned closer to Kaoru.
Kaoru watched him come closer then felt his lips on hers. He placed his calloused hands on her face to bring her closer to him. His hands then went down to her waist, grabbing her he pulled he on his lap and deepen the kiss. Kaoru's eyes shot open when she felt his hand on her breast, he had stopped the kiss and now was nibbling on her earlobe, "Battosai." Battosai stopped and lifted his head up to look deep into her eyes. He could see her crimson blush by the fire's light and then noticed his hand on her breast. He quickly removed and continued to look deep into her eyes. "Sorry Kaoru." Kaoru couldn't bring herself to say anything. "I lost control." Battosai said smiling sheepishly.
Battosai then pushed her back into her chair, as he got up and took the plates to the kitchen. Kaoru watched him disappear as the door shut. 'Does he really love me…he said he lost control …is it love or lust that he feels towards me…'
