The days went by smoothly. Everything was as usual. It was only Enishi that worries Amakusa. During their previous meeting, Enishi kept on going into topics of Kaoru; mainly on their sex-lives.

"Watch out for Enishi. He's no good. Stay away from him." Amakusa said to Kaoru when they were in his limo, sending her to the campus.

"He's eerie. I wonder why you made a deal with him... Don't worry. I'll take care of myself! I'm not that weak." Kaoru replied.

"Business and one person's character is different Kao. He should have your full particulars by now. That's what men with ability could do..." He continued.

"Full particulars? Men with ability? Does that mean that you have one of mine too when you said that you wanted a revenge?" Kaoru asked.

"Yes, I have but it's not important now. I've got you, my precious baby." Amakusa replied.

"Oh before I forget, I'm working tonight. Sleep early alright. Bye sweetie." Kaoru said and kiss him on the lips before getting off the limo.

"Be careful." Amakusa said with care. The limo drove away.

It was still early for the lecture but Kaoru went in anyway. Battousai was already inside.

"Morning Shougo-san. You missed my previous lesson. Any valid reason?" He asked, wanting to know how she had been doing during the weeks.

"Please, call me Kaoru. Didn't we compromise on that during Sayo's party? I'm sorry about the absence. My husband needed me that day." Kaoru explained and blushed when she recalled on what they had been doing through the whole day.

"Ah yes, we did. We never had the chance to have our tea. So are you free today?" Battousai asked.

"Yes! Of course! There is still a long time before the time of my work. I'll treat you!" Kaoru said.

"Are you trying to bribe me?" He asked teasingly.

"Hey! I don't do those stuffs at all. It's just that I felt bad rejecting your treats." She replied.

Soon, more students arrived. They had to stop their teasing. They had arranged to meet for tea after the lesson. Battousai was feeling good. He finally got the chance to be with Kaoru alone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, that's about it. I've asked my men to check on the goods in China. All are manufactured under highly supervised. If there is nothing else, we'll end today's meeting here." Enishi said seriously.

They were discussing on the details of their project. The meeting had been going on for hours since morning. It was already time for tea. They had missed their lunch. Everyone let a breath out when Enishi ended the meeting.

"Enishi." Amakusa stopped him when he saw that only both of them were left in the meeting room.

"Yes? Any matters I can do for you?" Enishi asked.

"Stay away from Kaoru." Amakusa said with a firm tone.

"Are you afraid that your wife will turn to me during the night? Can't stop me from getting what I want Amakusa. She's too good to be touched only by you." Enishi said, angering him even more.

"Don't you dare." Amakusa said deadly.

"What are you going to do to me if I get into Kaoru's pants? She's the type of woman who interests me. Maybe she is the selected one to give me a heir...." Enishi finished his last sentence and walked out of the room laughing.

Amakusa was burning. Enishi had openly admitted to him that he will be getting his Kaoru into his bed and getting her pregnant.

'No one touched my wife! No one but me. Enishi!!!!!!' He thought and screamed mentally.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't know why but you looked awfully familiar to me. It seem like I've known or seen you before. My mind just couldn't figure that out. Instead whenever I think of something, my head feels like cracking up into pieces." Kaoru said.

"Awful? You are the first to describe me that way. Many had said that I'm hot here, sexy there. Simply in a word, handsome." Battousai said as he laughed.

They were sitting in one of the café along the streets. Battousai met up with Kaoru after class and drove her to a highly recommended café.

"Sure they are right. Can't you see how almost all the girls in your lecture class drooled at you. Hey! I don mean that! Fine, you are under the better looking men in my category of men listing. Satisfied?" Kaoru said.

Both of them started laughing. They continued teasing each other. People in the café were looking at them when they heard their laughter. Kaoru's laughter was like melodies to the ear. Looking at the beautifully coupled duo, they couldn't help but think how compatible they are.

Some youngsters in the café even shouted out, "Dude, nice chick you got there!" Both Kaoru and Battousai were embarrassed.

"This café is really up to the standard. The cheese cakes here are... deliciously!" Kaoru said as she ate her cake.

"I can bring you to different places where nice foods are." Battousai said as he drank his coffee.

"Really? Don't eat back your words!" Kaoru said happily.

They stayed for hours in the café. They talked about Kaoru's job, their interest, and a little bit of their past. Battousai was trying to find out whether Kaoru remembered any of her lost memories but nothing was found. Since Kaoru had agreed to go on a food search with him, he would still have the chance to regain her lost memories.

"You practiced kendo? Really? It's been long since I last touched on my boken." Kaoru said with a sad tone when she mentioned the last part.

Battousai knew that it was her passed away father who taught her. Instead of bringing up her sad past, he said, "If you don't mind my not very perfect skills, I can teach you. We can practice twice a week."

Kaoru's eyes brightened immediately and said, "Are you sure? Really really sure? Let's hook fingers! You can't back out now!"

Battousai couldn't help but laugh at her childish acts. They hooked fingers after all. They were interrupted when a foreigner approached them.

"Sorry to cut off your conversation. I'm a photographer. My name is Felsee and I'm from France. I've been watching the way both of you reacts to one another. It's amazing. Totally natural. That is what I've been searching for. Please, be my model." He requested sincerely.

"Hi, call me Kaoru!" Kaoru replied politely.

"Himura." Battousai said.

Battousai and Kaoru looked at each other. The man named Felsee was sincere. But before they agreed, Felsee said, "I should tell you one thing before hand. That is I've no money to pay. It's okay if you reject me. Thank you and sorry for taking up your precious time."

Battousai wasn't interested in looking into cameras but he noticed Kaoru's sympathy look. He knew that Kaoru wanted to help him more when she heard that he had no money. Exchanging their contact numbers and a small discussion about what he was intending to shoot, the photographer bowed and left.

"Why did you still agree to his request? Have you hear him clearly? He is not taking individuals." Battousai asked.

"Yes, I did. I want to help him. Can't you see his un-nutritious body? Giving him money will be classifying him as a beggar. His pride will be hurt. I believe him. His eyes told the truth. Unless you mind?" Kaoru replied looking at him, waiting for his answer.

"Why would I? You may need to discuss that to your husband too." Battousai replied, leaving Kaoru in deep thought.

'Shit! How am I going to explain that to Amakusa? He is not going to agree to that... but I must think of a way! I must and I will!' She thought.

He was elated and couldn't wait for the shooting of the day. Continue where they had stopped earlier on, Kaoru noticed that time passed in a blink of eye. She was needed at her work place. Battousai drove her there and she was in time. It also gave him a chance to see where she works.
