Chap 6:

Mariko woke up with a splitting headache. She groaned as she got of the futon, hell why did she have to drink to much sake? Picking up the bowl of water that she always kept in her room, she buried her face in it stifling the gasp that almost broke out.

After doing this a few times she washed her face and asked for some miso soup to be brought upstairs. She drank it quickly and decided to go out, incase Sanosuke showed up. She really had to avoid him now more than ever. She pulled on a kimono as quickly as she could and left, informing the maids that she was going out for a few days.

She rode down a mountain path for about two hours before reaching a small house at the top. It was a sweet house actually with two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a small hall for meeting people. Even her clan didn't know of its existence, it was the house in which she had spent her first few childhood years before joining the dojo. It was built in an alcove of the mountain, with a small but beautiful bath in the back, shielded by the house.

She settled in and arranged all her things in her favorite room and sat down to make her plans. She would spend a day here, relaxing away from all the problems, make a good plan, execute it and return to her dojo.

But Kenshin's kiss haunted her…she didn't know what to make of it. She loved Sanosuke, enough to give up killing Kenshin. Kenshin loved Kaoru, why did he kiss her? He must have been deluded. She decided she had waited too long and had to resolve the whole issue before things got murkier.

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

Sanosuke looked grumpy. He had spend the whole day looking for her and its was almost twilight and there was still no sign of her! At last he found someone who had seen her. The old man pointed to the mountain path and Sanosuke set off down it. After a long walk and many stops to ask for directions, Sanosuke stopped. It was really dark except for the moonlight and he really wanted to give up. Something in him wouldn't let him stop, there was a full moon so he could see pretty well and he'd keep moving for an other hour then he'd stop. He walked for fifteen minutes before the path ended at a small house built into a mountain alcove. He cursed! Now he'd have to ask someone again. He walked up to the house, it seemed deserted. Sanosuke frowned, in any case if it was empty he could always stay here.

He slid open the door and went in. he heard a splashing noise at the back and walk to the other side of the house. He slid the door open and found himself looking at Mariko. He gasped, she was just getting out of the bath…sure he had seen naked women before and even bathed with lots of them in the common baths but this was different. She looked up and saw him her eyes widening.

She looked very beautiful, her long midnight hair clinging to her, the moonlight illuminating her naked body making her look ethereal. His eyes traveled from her face to the smooth beautiful skin of her neck, downwards to her breasts with two dark brown nipples, the taut muscles of the stomach, to the dark patch between her legs and her firm, toned legs.

"Sanosuke!" she whispered pulling on a sheer dark blue under robe. Sanosuke stiffened instead of covering her it was so see-through that he could see all of her silhouetted under it. "what are you doing here?"

"I was looking for you." His voice sounded slightly hoarse. He waked up to her…"you cant get away from me that easily." He bent down and kissed her passionately.

He broke away and lifted her up carrying her to the futon inside. He set her down on it and began kissing her softly. The he slipped off one side of her under robe and peppered her soft skin with little kisses. His hands went to the sash of the under robe and he yanked it open. He took one of those chocolate colored nipples in his mouth and sucked, drawing a soft moan from her, slowly he took the other one. She slipped of his shirt and bandages, fumbling with the knot of his trousers. He slowly trailed a wet lines of kisses down to the dark patch between her legs. The he spread her legs apart and licked her slowly dragging his tongue against her. She gasped wringing her hands in his hair. He pinned her down by the legs, licking, kissing and sucking till she almost went crazy frantically begging for him to get inside…the he got on top of her and entered her in one swift stroke. She was a virgin he realized, but the only symptom that it had hurt was the way her hand tightened on his shoulders. He continued to enter her swiftly as they kissed hard little kisses. They screamed as the came together and she shuddered under him. He rolled off her panting. She looked up at him and kissed him again.

"That was good…." Mariko smiled softly. "I've never done that before!" he grinned. "Yeah I kinda noticed, what with the blood and all!" he tried yanking her back down, but she pushed him away and got some water. She dipped a cloth and stared gently washing him. He jerked away when she reached ticklish spots. After she finished drying him and cleaning up, she watched him for a while, before grinning mischievously. She sat down next to him and caught hold of his dick. Still smiling she put her full mouth on it and started to suck. Sanosuke gasped. "I thought you were tired." He said half heartedly. She smiled, "the night is still long…let's see how long your strength holds…."
