Previous on Kaoru and the Battosai-

            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…'

~Kaoru and the Battosai~

Chapter 27

~Changing

            Kaoru, still sitting in the Dinning Room, began to wonder what was taking Battosai so long to return form the kitchen. 'What's taking him so long…should I go and see what his doing?…'  Kaoru thought as she stood from the table and walked over to the door that leads to the kitchen. 

            She opened the door slowly, she then peaked her head in looking for Battosai.  Her artic eyes felled on Battosai's back.  'What's he doing his just standing there?…' She started walking over to him to get a closer look. "Battosai?" She called out. When Battosai didn't stir she came closer to him.  Placing her hand on his shoulder she shook him lightly "Battosai?"

            'What's going on with me?…I can hardly control myself when I'm around her…I feel different …why?…' Battosai thought before he felt a hand on his shoulder.  

            Battosai then spun around; he began to stumble backwards away from Kaoru. Not being able to catch himself he landed on the floor. Looking up at Kaoru "Oro, Kaoru, when did you come in here?"  Kaoru looked confused as she looked upon his face 'Did his eyes just change color …his eyes are violet …maybe I'm just seeing things…' 

            "Oro?  I never heard you say that Battosai." Kaoru said as she smiled and looked down at him. Battosai continued to look up at Kaoru with his violet eyes 'Why is she looking at me different?…why did I say oro anyways?…'  Kaoru kneeled down "Are you feeling okay?" she asked placing her hand upon his forehead.  Battosai eyes widen "Umm…I feel fine." He said with a slight blush on his face.  Kaoru took her hand away and smiled "You have violet eyes." She whispered.  Battosai eyes widened more, than narrowed,  his violet eyes suddenly changed back to the cold amber.  Kaoru frowned "Did I say something wrong?"  Battosai stood up, dusted himself off and walked out of the kitchen.  Kaoru stood up as she watched him leave 'What's wrong with him?…'

            Kaoru ran after Battosai, "Battosai, wait!" she yelled at his back.  He stopped and waited for Kaoru to catch up with him.  "Battosai, what's wrong?"  she asked once she was by his side.  "Nothing." He replied in a non caring manner.  "But something seems to be bugging you."  Battosai looked down at her then began walking away again. 'Grr…why does he have to be like this…'  Kaoru thought.  Before Battosai was out of sight Kaoru whispered at him "Is it the curse?"  Battosai's ears caught this, he stopped and turned his head to see Kaoru's worried face.  He looked to the floor sighed then continued to walk away.  

            Kaoru watched him disappear into the darkness, sighing she went to her room.  Once in her room she plopped down on her bed.  "Why won't he tell me anything?" she asked herself out loud.  She looked across the room to the window seeing the grey clouds made her feel more depressed. 

            Battosai found himself in the West Wing looking at the red rose.  'Should I tell her that I love her…what if she loves me too then I, Sano and the others would finally be free of this curse.…' Battosai became frustrated with his thoughts kicking a nearby chair sending it smashing against the wall "Damn it."  'Why is it so hard for me to tell her my feelings?…'  "Meow."  Battosai then looked down at his feet and saw Rena.  "So this is where you have been."  Rena then began purring and rubbing against his leg. Battosai frowned and pushed the kitten back with his leg but Rena continued to come back and rub against his leg.  'Stupid rat…'

            Battosai came out of his thoughts when a cold breeze met his face.  Looking over to the open doors of the balcony, he could see the gray clouds.  Battosai smiled as he watched the sudden winter weather.  When darkness took over, he picked Rena up and  left the West Wing heading for his room.

            He opened the door of his dark room; he's amber eyes could see a small figure laying on his bed.  Smiling he walked over to his bed "Kaoru." He whispered, looking down at her, as he placed Rena on the bed.  Kaoru was fast asleep, curled up to keep warm.  Battosai lifted her up,  pulling the covers under her and then tucking her in.  He brushed the hair out of her face as he admired her beauty.  "Night, Kaoru."   

            Battosai then took his katana out of his belt, as he leaned against the wall.  Sitting down he rest the katana on his shoulder and began to slowly drift to sleep.  Before falling asleep he felt something climbing onto his lap, opening his eyes he saw Rena, as she curled up and purred.  "Night rat." Battosai said before falling asleep himself.

            Battosai awoke, he glanced up toward his bed and saw Kaoru still fast asleep.  "Meow."  Battosai looked down at his lap "Shh, damn rat. Are you trying to wake Kaoru?"  Battosai pushed Rena off his lap, standing up he placed his katana in his belt and looked out the window.  "Perfect." He said before looking back at the sleeping Kaoru. 'I hope she wakes up soon…'

            Battosai pulled his hair up in a high ponytail before heading down stairs.  Once in the kitchen he began making breakfast.  Kaoru awoke,  sitting up she yawned as she looked around the room for Battosai.  'Where's is he?…did he ever come in his room?…' Her eyes spotted Rena by the door, "Rena!" she said haply.  Rena turned her head and ran towards Kaoru, jumping up on the bed and climbing in her lap.  "Good morning." 

            Hearing the door open Kaoru looked to see Battosai carrying a tray.  Battosai smiled "You're finally up.  Good, here's breakfast.  Hurry and eat I want to show you something." He said placing the tray by the bed.  "Arigatou." She said as she began to eat.

            'He seems really nice …he's different …is this the true Battosai?…and he's eyes their still that cold amber no matter how warm he's smile is …but when they where violet they where so warm and friendly…' Kaoru thought as she ate.

            Battosai had left and returned, looking at Kaoru "You done?"  "Hai…" before she could say anything else she was cut off by Battosai.  "Fine something warm to wear.  We're going outside and it's cold."  Kaoru nodded, grabbing Rena she ran down to her room. 

            After awhile, Battosai became impatient with waiting and made his way to Kaoru's room.  Reaching the door he banged on it hard "Kaoru!" he yelled.  He waited and listened for an answer.  'What's taking her so long…'  He thought.  Taking a deep breath he raised his hand to bang on the door again.  Bringing it down he stopped suddenly when Kaoru had opened the door.  Kaoru look at his fist and then back up to his face.  Battosai brought his hand down fast "Sorry, but are you ready yet?" Kaoru smiled "Yes."  "Good, now let's go."

            They where about to walk outside when Battosai covered her eyes.  "Battosai! What are you doing?"  Battosai smirked "You'll see. You'll see."  He opened the door and guided Kaoru through the door to outside.  Kaoru felt the cold crisp air meet her once warm face.  Battosai pushed Kaoru a little more before stopping, "I wanted to share this with you." Was all he said before removing his hand from Kaoru's eyes.
