Chapter 10: Lip action

It was getting late at the Aoiya, and Sano had finally shown up. Drunk. Hiccupping like there was no tomorrow. Everyone was laughing hysterically at him, and of course, Sano himself could care less. Kenshin and Kaoru had gone to bed early that night, and were talking with each other about...some things.

"You are SUCH a pervert! You know that!?!" Kaoru asked in frustration. She was lying in her futon, with her right elbow supporting her, and her right hand lifting up her head. Kenshin just snickered and replied. "Oh all I wanted was some attention..." Kaoru rolled her eyes and muttered, 'feh attention, I'll give you some attention...' Kenshin's eyes widened a bit and smiled from ear to ear.

"Oh really?!" Kenshin asked in sarcasm.

"You are such a goof ball! You know that!?" Kaoru asked looking at him straight in the eye. She tried as hard as she could not to show anything, but deep down, she already had fallen for her flirtatious friend.

"I thought you were serious...oh well." Kenshin sighed and put on a sad face. Kaoru turned stark red.

"You're such a hentai!!" Kaoru quipped and turned her head in the opposite direction. She the lifted her left elbow up, and used that one to support herself so she could face away from Kenshin. Kenshin then got an idea...a naughty idea. He silently crawled over to her, and snaked his hands around her waste, and nuzzled his nose into her back, just like the time they were fishing. Kaoru squeaked, and whacked Kenshin again.

"You PERVERT!! Let go!!" Kaoru said in a half hearted attempt. Kenshin just smiled against her back ,and turned her around so that she was facing him. He was still grasping her waste, and nuzzled his nose again, this time, right below her breasts. Kaoru shrieked, and tried to pry him away, but failed. Kenshin then dragged her down so that they were face to face, and he began to slowly dip head so that they were inches apart. Their lips were nearly brushing until the door was slip open, and none other than a hyper, energetic, gossiping girl, stoop there, watching the scene. They gasped and pushed each other away from themselves.

"I'm sorry if I was...interrupting something but Sano Is back." Misao said with a devilish look on her face. "I'll leave you two alone. I'll tell everyone to stay out of this room." Misao replied, turning around. Kenshin then spoke up.

"Miss Misao!! That's disgusting!! D-do you know how OLD we are?!?!?!?!!??!!??!?2121312" Kenshin asked in a 'you-are-so-gross' voice.

"I didn't mean THAT you PERVERT!! But a little lip action is something that you guys can do." Misao said as she walked out. Kenshin turned to Kaoru then quickly laid back down onto his futon, blushing as deep color as a tomato. "W-well good night Miss Kaoru..." Kenshin replied through little shudders.

"Y-yeah...good night." Kaoru replied, a blush forming in her voice. They settled into their futons, and blew out the lights in the room, drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

'What was I thinking?!?! I totally went too far...although she did smell and feel really nice...NO NO NO!! Bad thought Himura! Take a deep breath, and go to sleep!' Kenshin told himself mentally. He closed his eyes, and was wishing that he could be asleep the way Kaoru was.

It was finally morning. Kaoru and Kenshin somehow woke up at the same time, still embarrassed about the previous affair. They quickly scurried off into the breakfast room to find everyone staring at them, and giggling.

"Miss Misao...you didn't..." Kenshin said with dread lingering in his voice. Misao bobbed her head.

"You better believe it Himura!" Misao replied. Sano then walked up to the shuddering Kenshin, and thrust his arm around his shoulder.

"Sooooo how was making out? Was it enjoyable?" Sano asked in a sarcastic voice. Kenshin got angry, and turned around so that he was facing Sano, blushing madly.

"Nothing happened!!" Kenshin said in defense.

"Suuurree nothing happened pal." Sano said sarcastically.

"Honest!! I swear that nothing happened!!" Kenshin defended again.

"C'mon pal we believe you! No need to get upset. We're only joking!" Sano said with a little laugh in his voice. Kenshin sighed.

"Yeah what ever. Let's just eat ok?" Kenshin suggested. Kaoru was still embarrassed at the previous conversation that was going on. Kenshin turned around, and then sighed with a smile as he saw Kaoru all nerved up. He walked up behind her, and placed his hands on her shoulders, and 'guided' her to the breakfast table.

Once breakfast was over, Kenshin decided that since everyone was out doing their own thing, he would apologize to Kaoru for last nights inning.

"Miss Kaoru could I talk to you for a minute?" Kenshin asked.

"Sure Kenshin..." Kaoru replied, following him to where he was leading them to. Once Kenshin was sure no one was around to bother them, or to bug them, he turned to face her.

"Listen Miss Kaoru. I'm really sorry about last night...I never meant for it to go that far...all I wanted to do was to just hug you and see what your reaction might be...I never meant to...try and...well...kiss you...I'm really sorry." Kenshin replied, looking down in shame. Kaoru brought up a hand and lifted his chin to make him look at her. She the smiled at him, and he let a small 'Oro' escape his mouth.

"Thank you Kenshin. I really am glad that you came and apologized to me. But...if you didn't notice last night...I...was sort of going along with you...so I should be apologizing too..." Kaoru said with a blush creeping onto her face. Kenshin let a goofy grin appear onto his face.

"Oh you were, were you? Well then...we'll just have to finish what we started then huh." Kenshin said in a cocky voice. He quickly leaned in and brushed his lips against hers for less than a second, and pulled away.

"Thanks for accepting my apology." Kenshin said in a husky whisper, and walked away.

'.....wooooow' Kaoru thought, as she stood there with a stunned look on her face. "M-my fist kiss...sort of...it was...eeee!!" Kaoru squealed in excitement as she scurried off to finish her task she was doing before her little 'kiss'

'Man I'm good!! I gotta do that more often!!' Kenshin thought with a smirk of victory on his face as he walked off out of the dojo. He then jumped, flailing one hand into the air, and brining it down into a 'cha-ching' pose, whispering an 'all right!'. Then he walked off into the woods, to get some dinner for that nights meal.

That's all for now! Please review :D
