"Marry me Kaoru…"

The moment he murmured those three little words, she felt as if time stopped for her.

His amethyst eyes were filled with love and ardor, coupled with hopefulness and tinged with fear. Her face remained painted with shock, although inwardly, her knees were trembling, seemingly turning into weak jelly with his loving gaze. She couldn't move, mind unable to function and produce any coherent thoughts.

He took her silence as her rejection and slowly, he lowered the box, heart shattering upon doing so. She doesn't want to marry me…

"Wait…."

A trembling hand covered his and before he could say anything, she had offered him a weak smile.

"Please… place it on my finger…" she trailed off, sapphire irises filling with tears.

With her words, the man felt euphoria burst in his chest. "You-you'll ma-marry me?" he asked incredulously, for awhile losing his composure.

It took a moment before she replied. "Of course… I'll marry you… yes! I'll marry you!" she exclaimed, emotions escalating into one loud outburst as she wrapped her arms around his form and buried her face on the crook of his shoulder. "I'll marry you... Of course I'll marry you…" she continued to whisper, wet films of tears somewhat escaping to land softly on his shirt.

He nodded, speechless and still overwhelmed with the answer he received. Wordlessly, with shaking fingers, he slipped the diamond encrusted ring, amethyst eyes marveling with the way it suited her perfectly.

"Kenshin… it's beautiful…" she trailed off.

He said not a word, for in a trice, he had captured her lips with his, engaging her in a long languorous kiss that bade to transpire the overwhelming emotions of love, ardor, nervousness and fervor crashing onto his chest. She responded equally with his passion, encaging his neck with her long pale arms, pressing his form closer to hers.

Finally, when the need for air became too much, both slowly and hesitantly let go of the other. But though their lips had parted long enough, the hand wrapped tightly around her waist and the arms that encaged his neck remained in place, never moving, and their faces an impossible closeness with the other.

"Kenshin…"she trailed off, voice tight with tears.

"Ssshhh… Kaoru… why do you cry?" he murmured, fingers trailing over her face and wiping away a tear that had somehow strayed.

She shook her head. "Nothing… it's just that… I'm too overwhelmed… demo Kenshin?"

"Hmmm?"

Sapphire eyes rising to meet tender amethyst ones, shyly, she asked, cheeks flushing a deep scarlet red.

"Kenshin… why only now? I mean we've gone through hell and back… we even have Kenji… but why only now?" she couldn't bring herself to ask him directly, that would be totally too much of an embarrassment you know, but somehow, Kaoru hoped that the man could read through the lines.

She wonders what took me so long to propose… He smiled, face turning wistful, a distant, almost faraway look transpiring in his gaze. "I was waiting for the right moment."

"N-nani?"

He smiled at her innocence, unexpectedly dropping a chaste kiss on her lips before continuing, "I know it sounds totally crazy, but many times I had often asked myself the same question over and over again." he paused when he heard her slight gasp. "Aa… The moment I met you and you conceived Kenji, I knew you were the one. Knew that you're the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. But it felt so hard before… to murmur those four words… I Guess I lacked courage…"

"C-Courage…" she asked unsurely.

"Hai. I waited for what seemed like forever until one night, when I just sat beside you, gazing at your sleeping form and Kenji's, there and then did I realize that you both are the most precious treasures in my whole life and that I truly wanted to settle with you, to love you and watch our son grow… I figured, I've been stupid enough to wait for almost two years before proposing… And I almost lost you twice, once with Soujiro, twice with Tomoe. I don't want to lose you ever again. And the only way I could fully protect you and love you, would be marrying you."

By the time he had finished, tears were freely slipping past her face and her lips wore a grateful smile. Alarmed with her tears, he quickly asked whatever was wrong and had he said something not right. She was quick to ease his fears though.

"Iie… I'm perfectly fine… And no, you did not say anything wrong… it's just that… I'm so happy…It's so surreal you know? I'm like… Kami-sama! I'm finally marrying this man!" she exclaimed, laughing and wiping away the last vestiges of he tears. "But have you decided with a date?" she asked, fingers reaching to caress his ember colored locks allowing delicious shivers to zing up his spine.

"Iie..." he trailed off, thoughts unfocusing with her ministrations. "Kaoru…"

Secretly, she hid a smile. So… it appears that he's enjoying what I'm doing… Tae once said to me that in order to make a man do what you want, you attack him on his weakest point… hmm… let's see if I could prove that theory…

"We have to decide then…" she whispered cattily against the shell of his ear, blowing softly and delighting the way he trembled with her touches. "Have you decided where?" she asked, allowing her fingers to trail searing paths across his skin.

"Mmm… Kaoru…" he groaned, amethyst eyes turning cloudy with the head on passion he was experiencing in the hands of the little tanuki…

"Hey you…I'm still talking…" she teased, flickering a velvety tongue against the shell of his ear. He grunted in reply.

"I don't… remember what you asked…" he muttered, thoughts focusing on the feel of her fingers delicately unbuttoning his shirt and scattering across his muscled torso.

"Nevermind… just promise me you'll help me with the preparations?" she whispered before enveloping his lips with a hot kiss, seemingly driving his hare-brained thoughts crazy with the way she delved for his tongue.

"Aa." it was all he could say, his thoughts having been churned to nothingness save except for the need to feel her skin against his.

"Good." she affirmed. Well… Tae's theory really works! Leaning against his kiss, she gasped when she felt his fingers grasp her waist, his mouth trailing hot wet kisses down her neck.

"Kenshin…" it was now his turn to smile, watching as she closed her eyes to savor the feel of his lips, baring her neck and allowing his tongue to flicker on the pale milky skin of her throat. His fingers were trailing on her back, tracing lazy circles and patterns as she tried to hush a moan.

"Ken-…shin…" she could not believe how tables had turned, she was supposed to have the upper hand! Mou! I was having a good time too… demo…it feels soo good…She thoughts, allowing him to deepen the kiss. Kenshin… love me…

Unknown to her, she had said her last thoughts allowed and this was the last of his undoing. Crashing his lips against hers in a passionate, almost desperate kiss, he was just about tugging her shirt off when she stopped and pushed him away.

"Wait… how about Kenji? We totally forgot about him! We can't stay here!" her words were urgent and worried and the red head inwardly wondered how she could shift from loving and passionate to worried and paranoid next. Fortunately, he was quite an intelligent creature enough to anticipate this kind of reaction.

"Don't worry… I already asked Tae-san to come. I already told her I would be proposing tonight and she agreed to watch over Kenji until at least we return…" he smiled impishly, loving the way her mouth dropped open with the sudden bomb he had dropped. "I was a bit scared that she wouldn't be able to stay quiet. Good thing she did." he added, matter of factly.

"S-she knew?"

"Hai."

For a moment she looked like she was going to yell at him and be angry for tricking her in the first place. But then again, it looked like she decided against it for a smirk lit her face. "Baka red head…"

He laughed, a deep masculine sound rumbling from the hollow of his throat. "Hai… now… where were we?" he nuzzled her hair before all of a sudden placing his lips on the arch of her neck and biting the tender flesh.

She gasped, the sensation painful and wonderful. She moaned slightly afterward though, when she felt him suck the blood that had somehow trickled. "Kenshin…"

"Hush Kaoru… you asked me to love you tonight… that's what I have exactly in mind…" he murmured before descending his lips against hers. His kiss however, one that started out as a chaste one, was rapidly developing into a passionate one, finally exploding in frenzied desire and Kaoru soon found herself pressed hard on her back on the wooden makeshift floor.

"Kenshin…" she moaned, voice tight with yearning. She felt him quickly pull off her shirt, and then his fingers were fumbling on the latch of her bra, mouth exploding in colorful curse words when he found the task hard.

"Dammit… how do they take this thing off?" he growled, only to stop when she stilled him and undid the cloth herself.

Once flesh had become unbounded, he took a moment to admire her before lowering his mouth to suck on one hardened mound, his other hand serving to caress the left out globe. Closing her eyes, the raven haired beauty attempted to crush a moan as she fought off the growing ache pressed in the apex of her thigh. But then again, it seemed that he had wanted nothing more than to fuel that ache for he continued to suck at her, hand lowering to pull her jeans off.

"Kenshin…"whimpering when she felt him leave her breast and angled his mouth near her wet, moist folds, her fingers flew to grasp his hair when she registered his velvety tongue flickering and biting off the pulsating flesh. Kaoru felt frenzied and run off with desperation for the need for gratification as she unconsciously yanked at his hand to play against hers, wanting nothing more than blessed release.

He smiled inwardly, his mouth leaving her and his fingers taking its place. In and out, his digits were fast building passion on her system, her moans and cries turning louder and when took her in his mouth again, with his fingers playing against her bosom, it was the last of her undoing.

A scream erupting from her throat, Kenshin felt the hot wet liquid trail off his mouth as she quivered with her climax. Falling limp on his arms, she continued to shake, the pressure she felt most staggering as she tried to catch her breath.

Now… Sliding his pants down, he lowered himself and slowly, entered her. Crying aloud when she felt his hot sensitive flesh enter her core, her pain slowly transported into pleasure and soon, she began to set a pace for them.

What started out as languorous, slow and steady was soon building into desperate tumescence as both slowly felt the need for release. Movements spurting with speed and his thrusts becoming deeper, his fingers delved to play against her core and finally, she climaxed, a loud wail reverberating across the lonely sea as she shattered with pleasure, with him swift to follow.

TBC…

Yeah, yeah I know the lemon was kind of cut off, but not to worry! There's another one coming in the next chapter::WINKS: so I guess that should make it up for it…
