Dark Side

Chapter 9 (Battousai version)

Due to request. I have made minor changes to the arousal chapter with Battousai in it. ( I mean minor.)

Please still read the following, it's not exactly the same as the last chapter's Author's Note. And the end Author's Notes at the bottom. Very important!!!!!

Sake is a very strong type of liquor. It is unique to the Asian Countries like China and Japan. A person who has no tolerance will get drunk instantly from it. ( heck, even Aoshi can't handle sake. Remember the end of Kyoto arc when kenshin was saying his good bye to Aoshi.)

I wanted you guys to leave Barrie in your reviews so I could know how many actually read the Author's Notes. But don't bother anymore.

Is there any new characters you guys want me to add to the story, please leave me a review to let me know.

Author's Notes: Thanks you guys for all your reviews! I love those so much. The reviews you guys give me are like selling numbers of a published book. When the book sells a lot, the author has motivation to write more great books!!

Does anyone know what a browser cookie is? Please leave me an example.

And don't forget to listen to music while reading, that's the only way to read!


Battousai, Kaoru and Yahiko got back to the hotel in the early morning hours. They were all exhausted except Battousai who looked indifferent. Kaoru and Yahiko went immediately to bed, Battousai went to see Katsura to inform him that the boy is back. Something else was bothering him though. Why would Saitou send Jineh to his death. Battousai was sure that Saitou is aware of the fact that he is much more powerful than Jineh. He came upon Katsura's door. Battousai pushed open the door and walked in.

"He's back." He informed Katsura.

"good, Kenshin, I will send one of our ishin shi shi men to watch those two. We simply can not afford another incident like this." Katsura continued, "you only have three assignments left, after that, you can do what ever you want."

Kenshin took a moment to think about what Katsura said. "I'll watch over the girl and the kid, I do not trust anybody that works here."

Katsura looked surprised. "why not?"

"the girl was almost raped yesterday by your 'standard employee'." Kenshin's eyes became fierce as he thought about the incident.

"I see that you care a lot for the girl, enough to kill one of our own men." Katsura sighed. "do what ever you wish. Just don't let her get between you and your assignments." With that, Kenshin walked out. He was tired too.

He walked through the doors of his room and noticed how the siblings were sound asleep. He looked towards Kaoru with his amber eyes; her cheeks were red from sleep, that made her look like a doll. The exact opposite of when she's mad. He has seen the numerous incident resulting from Yahiko calling her ugly. It wasn't pretty.

Battousai walked over to his trusty window sill and sat on it. He got some sake and began to drink. He didn't know how his master could like this so much, kenshin only drank sake when the smell of blood became too strong, it managed to erase blood from his memory for just a minute.

and that was enough.

Kaoru woke up. She looked around and spotted Battousai. She got up.

Battousai swirled the drink in his hand, his amber eyes had a faraway look to them. He liked the smell that wafted from the sake. then he heard the sound of Kaoru getting up. He decided to ignore it. That is till Kaoru walked over and sat on the window sill opposite from him. Her hair was down from its usual pony tail, her cheeks had a tinge of red from sleep, here eyes were as beautiful as ever. Battousai thought she looked like an angel.

"what do you want." He interrogated coldly. Kaoru looked annoyed.

"thank you, thank you for rescuing my brother." Battousai's eyebrow shot up.

"you already thanked me."

"I know, but that was too brief. I was so worried about him, I think, I think I could just die if something happened to him. So this is my proper thanks." Kaoru was blushing really hard.

Battousai looked rather amused, he had never knew that this girl had a soft side.

"care to join me for some sake?" Battousai asked, he was bored drinking all by himself. Kaoru looked surprised. She decided to drink some sake with him out of thankfulness.

She took a shallow cup and filled it up. She had never done this before. Kaoru lifted the drink to her lips and swallowed it all in one gulp. She started coughing, that burned her throat. Battousai smirked, obviously she had never had any sake or she wouldn't have done that.

When she was finally over the fit, a warm feeling began to develop in her stomach, she started to sway. Her vision began to blur and she felt the control of her body slowly slip away from her.

Just before she fell, Battousai caught her. Kaoru looked up and instinctively wrapped her arms around Battousai's neck. He hauled her up, her head lolled to one side and fell on his shoulder. He liked the warmth as she snuggled deeper into his neck. His smirk got wider.

"come to bed with me." Battousai's eyes widened.

"what?!" bewilderment filled his voice.

"aren't you tired?" Kaoru asked in her intoxicated voice.

"yes."

"then come to bed with me." She insisted. She began to pull the red haired assassin towards her futon. She could barely keep herself balanced.

"you don't know what you're doing." Battousai retaliated.

Kaoru tripped him, he was so aroused that he even forgot to keep up his guard. She fell with him. He landed on top of her. Their faces were inches apart. Battousai could feel her warmth through their clothing. She looked so delicious. He licked his lips.

'but she is drunk.' he reasoned with himself. 'she'll hate me if she finds out that I took advantage of her.' But his restraint was about to snap.

'I won't!' Battousai yelled.

"kiss me." Kaoru whispered. he exhaled.

That one simple phrase rendered any restraint Battousai had left useless. He was about to give in when.

Yahiko saves the day yet again. He woke to witness yet another Kenshin and Kaoru moment through his blurry vision. He blushed to his roots. He could see that his sister was pulling Kenshin down closer and closer to her face while Kenshin looked like he desperately wanted it and yet didn't want it at the same time.

Their nose touched.

Normally, Yahiko screamed.

"OH MY GOD!!!!" He ducked under his ever so useful cover.

Kaoru and Battousai both looked towards Yahiko. Battousai was pissed, the kid always managed to ruin his time with Kaoru. He used that as a distraction and pulled out of her grasp. Life could be tricky sometimes.

Yahiko continued to scream.

To Be Continued.
