A/N: Kenshin is very OCC in this fic. He's not Battousai. He's not Rurouni. He's simply Kenshin. And Hiko is not his adoptive father. Also, this story will go slowly, so all the details will be revealed in their specific times.
On with the story!
We Were Meant To Each Other
Chapter 8 Megumi
Never in his entire life has Kenshin ever been this nervous before entering a room. Not even when he had his first time with a woman. But right at this moment, he was absolutely freaking out.
The room was quiet and only candle lighted, making him blink a couple of times to adjust his eyes to the dim lighted room. Extravagant furniture could be seen around the place, the main colors being deep red and wooden brown. Once entering the room, Kenshin had the complete oversight of the area. A wood wardrobe stood to his left, next to a bed-side-table. A large round…rather provoking bed stood in front of him but no human presence on top of it.
Thank God. He would have fainted right there and then if he had entered the wrong room and there was a sprawled woman lying in front of him…
To his right was a small living room, with a couple of couches, a table with several drinks and a fireplace. Quite fancy for a prostitute's place, but we were talking about the drug baron's Tea House. Of course it would be fancy.
It was in one of those couches he noticed someone sitting on it.
Kaoru…
Locking the door safely, the soft click was enough to warn Kaoru she was no longer alone in the room. Kenshin stood in front of the bed, his heart bumping loudly with no reason, but still impossible to control. Slowly, he watched her head turn to him and was glad to see her face changing from deep fear to greater relieve.
Within seconds, Kaoru was clutching her form against him, her heart beating fast against Kenshin's chest.
"I'm so glad it's you."
He tried to pull away from her but she only tightened her arms around him. Sighing, he caressed her back in a soothing motion. "Of course it was me. I told you I wouldn't let anyone touch you."
"I'm sorry for hugging you like this." She said, although not making any move to let him go.
"It's okay."
A moment of silence passed between them.
"I can't let go."
He gave a small smile. "That's okay too. I know you're scared."
Feeling her nod, he sighed, glancing at the white ceiling above them. "Have you checked for cameras?"
"I-I didn't have to. They told me that no cameras were installed inside the bedrooms for a simple reason."
"Which is?" He whispered to her ear.
"There's more into this story that we ever imagined."
"What-?"
"Corrupt politics." She told him straight. "Sometimes, as he said, there are politicians and important men that come to his house to have some fun. That's why they can't have cameras inside the bedrooms. To protect those men identities."
"My God, this is worse than we thought. Is that what you found out until now?"
"Yes, for now. I've just started and, from what I guess, it's only during the day that I'll be able to gather information."
"Why during the day?"
"Because at night we are forbidden to talk to any staff. We are to talk and seduce our clients and that's it." He felt her shudder at the word 'client', before continuing. "And since you're the only client I'll be having, thank God, I won't gather any information, unless if I ask to go to the bathroom, but I think that exposes me a lot." She said and Kenshin nod shortly. "During the day though, we have to clean the house and are free to talk and enjoy the day inside the Tea House, although I'm not sure how you can enjoy being in a place like this."
"Strict rules."
"You bet. Kanryuu has everything thought out and planned."
"Well…almost everything."
She nodded, finally letting him go. "I'm sorry for that. I hate to say this but I was really afraid of not being you entering that door." She said revealed, pausing for a moment. "Was it easy for you to come in?"
"Very. I presented my name and they gave me a private table with interesting young ladies serving me drinks and giving massages-ouch!"
"Pervert."
"Hey I was just trying to lighten the mood. I've already talked with the manager of this place and everything went as planned. He accepted my offer and compromised not to let anyone touch you beside me."
Kaoru blushed at that.
"Well, in theory of course. Oh, by the way, I have the tape. Do you have the machine?"
"Yes, I placed it inside that drawer over there." She said, pointing to the small bed-side-table.
Walking over the small wood polished table, Kenshin opened the drawer and blushed. Raising his eyes to meet Kaoru's face, he noticed a sly smile playing at her lips. Oh you think that's fun? Two can play the same game smart girl… He thought, grinning inwardly.
Casually grabbing a thong from the many objects laying inside the drawer, he turned to her. "I want to use this one first. Catch." He said, throwing the article at her.
Kaoru caught the sex instrument and blushed, throwing it to the bed, glaring at the man's back.
Suddenly, moans and whispers start to dome out from the machine as Kenshin closed the drawer and placed the machine on top of the table.
"Well, now we wait." He whispered at her, sitting on the bed.
Sighing and blushing under the extremely uncomfortable sound, Kaoru resumed her way to the bed, sitting on the other side. After a moment listening to the tape, she muttered. "When this is over, I'm going to burn that."
Kenshin turned to her and lay on the bed, folding his hands behind his head. Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, he grinned slightly. "Why? You were so talented doing it…" He whispered, chuckling softly at her fuming glare. "I'm kidding. Are you going to be sitting there the entire evening?"
Glancing at him suspiciously, Kaoru mentally hit herself on the head. He's just trying to make me comfortable. I know he would never touch me, although he was acting strange when we were dancing, but anyway…
Deciding that if she continued sitting like that her back would severely be hurting at the end of the night, Kaoru lied down beside him, placing her hands on top of her belly and stared at the ceiling, while listening to their own moans and cries.
This is so embarrassing…
"Nice outfit. Did you choose it?"
Throwing a pillow to the man beside her, she allowed a small smile to appear at her lips.
Pervert, but with good intentions…
Ying Fa.
Hello?
Ying Faaaaa…
Huh?
Wake up!
Who…?
Come on sleeping beauty!
As soon as Kaoru's eyes opened, the first thought crossing her mind was 'This is not my room'. Shaking her head slowly, she fought to regain her consciousness as she blinked rapidly to send sleepiness away. Suddenly remembering where she was and what she was doing in there, she swallowed a groan that was willing to come out of her mouth.
I thought I was dreaming…
"Oh, you're finally awake! I was starting to wonder how to wake you up! Come on, we have to clean the house!"
Furrowing her brows at the unfamiliar voice, Kaoru turned her head to her right only to meet a petit young girl, around 17 years old, smiling widely at her.
"Do I know you?" Kaoru asked dumbly.
The girl laughed amusedly. She reminds me of Misao… "No, we haven't met yet because I was busy yesterday when you arrived. And when I was finally free, you were already with your first client!" She said, winking at Kaoru. If anyone heard this girl talking without knowing what she did for a living, one would think she's talking about a regular job, like shop assistant!
At the mention of the word 'client', Kaoru blushed instantly, not wanting to remember how embarrassed she was yesterday. As soon as the tape ended, they proceeded to arrange the room as if they had actually done all the moaning and noises. Then, after a couple more advices, Kenshin left with the promise of coming back today at the same hour. To her surprise, no one had entered her room after he left. It was pretty late so she guessed they had talked to Kenshin and she would be questioned today.
"You're still flushed from last night I see!"
Kaoru blinked at the sound of the voice. Oh right…the girl inside my room… Sitting straight, she turned to the young grinning girl beside her. "Who are you again?"
"I'm Hisa! It's nice to meet you Ying Fa! I see you were sleeping soundly. Fufufufu, did your first client tire you that much?"
Oh right…my name is Ying Fa…Kaoru opened her mouth to answer her but Hisa interrupted her once again. "You don't have to answer that, we actually heard your satisfaction." She said winking. "I've heard that he requested you to be his single hooker and that no one is to touch you but him! That's not something everybody gets! How did you manage to achieve that on your first night?" Hisa asked excitedly.
Kaoru mentally snorted at that. If only you knew…Kenshin wouldn't pay a yen to have me doing…that. Instead of voicing her thoughts, she remembered the role she was playing and grinned slyly at the girl. "When you're good, you're good."
Hisa beamed and pouted, before rising from her position. "Aa, I guess you're absolutely right Ying Fa! Now come on, rise and shine 'cause we have a lot to do! Bathroom is at the end of the hall and, don't worry, it's clean!" She said amusedly, laughing at her own joke. "You have clean towels on a drawer inside your closet. I'll be waiting for you after you take your bath. See ya in a moment!" Hisa said, leaving the room.
Kaoru yawned and stepped out of the bed, opening her wardrobe and taking a clean towel from the drawer. Taking a moment to inspect the towel, Kaoru wrinkled her nose not wanting to guess how many people had used this towel before. "Maybe I should have brought some from home…" She muttered shortly, before taking a clean set of dashing clothes and stepped out of the room.
Once outside the corridor, Kaoru was shocked to find the scene completely the opposite from the night before. Girls were entering and exiting rooms, passing by her and cheerfully greeting her, while some other girls were already vacuum cleaning the carpet floor. Approaching the bathroom's door, Kaoru knocked twice to double check if it was really empty and entered the room.
After a good bath and a new set of fresh clothes dressed on, Kaoru stepped out of the bathroom only to find Hisa leaning against the wall next to the door, looking rather bores. Rising her eyes at the sound of a door opening, Hisa grinned. "Oh, at last! Don't tell me you were that dirty?" She asked, winking at Kaoru.
Chuckling, Kaoru shook her head. "No, not at all, I just happen to love water. I'm sorry for the delay."
"No problem!" Hisa said with a dismissal hand. "Come on, I'll introduce you to everybody! What do you usually eat for breakfast? We have everything you can possibly want. And I mean everything."
Arching an eyebrow, Kaoru entered the spirit, grinning slyly." Don't tell me you have your own mall too?"
"You bet! This house is far beyond anyone's imagination!"
You can say that again… Kaoru thought as they reached the large living room. The area was filled with lots of people, prostitutes, guards, bartenders and some additional staff, everyone busy either cleaning or chatting amusedly. It looked like a high school refectory rather than a prostitution house. "Everyone seems so happy here…" Kaoru commented lightly, as they made their way to the bar's balcony.
Hisa chuckled. "Well, that's because they are! We aren't treated like tools or prisoners here, on the opposite from other Tea Houses. I guess, by your surprise, it wasn't like this at your old residence?"
Kaoru thought for a second to review the story she was about to tell and turned to the girl, nodding shortly. "Yes, it wasn't like this at all. I mean, we weren't ill treated but barely left our rooms during the day. Food would be brought to us and we would just leave the rooms either to go to the bathroom or when it was time to work." She paused. "Now that I think about it, compared to this Tea House, mine was a prison."
Hisa nodded. "Yeah, I can see that. Here no one lives under those conditions." She said sympathetically. "Oh, no one but Megumi."
Kaoru blinked. "Megumi?"
"Hai. She's a doctor working under us."
"Under us…as in…?"
"Our laboratory. She works in there." Hisa explained, smirking. "More like lives in there. I've only seen her once."
"But why is she held in there?" Kaoru asked, hoping that the small girl wouldn't find strange so many questions.
Apparently she didn't, because she answered right away. "Oh, because she works for my uncle and he doesn't want anyone prying into his business or having her running away. He's very thoughtful."
Uncle? "Your uncle?"
"Hai, Kanryuu!" Hisa answered her with an obvious look.
Kaoru's eyes widened drastically. "Kanryuu is your uncle?" She asked incredulously.
"Yes, why?" The girl asked suspiciously.
Damn…Kaoru control yourself! "Because he's like…the owner of everything! And he's your uncle! It's amazing!" She said with an overreacted excitement that seemed to convince the girl pretty well.
Hisa laughed at Kaoru's reaction as they took a seat on the bar's chairs. "I know what you mean. It is very cool to be his niece" She said, winking at Kaoru before turning to the tall, well built and handsomely good looking bartender, who Kaoru had failed to notice until now.
Wow… Kaoru thought while looking at him. He could be a model! So absorbed she was in her thoughts, she failed to listen Hisa's question. Blinking, she tore her eyes from the muscular man and turned to the young girl. "What? Sorry…"
Hisa laughed. "You really are funny Ying Fa. I asked what you wanted to eat! Ask whatever you like because Anji here can make anything, ne big boy?"
The bartender, Anji, nodded, smiling at Kaoru in such tender way she swore she was flying. Smiling stupidly at him for a second, she gave herself a major mental and cleared her throat. "Just a couple of toasted bread and a glass of milk and I'll be fine, thank you."
He nodded politely and turned, entering a side door which lead to, Kaoru supposed, the kitchen. Following him with her eyes, she wondered for a second how he'd had ended up in a place like this before Hisa broke her thoughts. "I know what you're thinking…"
Kaoru blinked at that. "You do?" She asked dumbly.
"Of course. I know you're thinking how much hot Anji is, ne?" She asked slyly.
Blushing for a moment, Kaoru stuttered. "Well…not that…actually…I was just-"
"Yadda yadda, everyone here thinks that. But I have bad news to you: he's gay." Hisa informed blandly, slowly drinking her coffee.
Karu choked on her milk as soon as that statement left Hisa's mouth. "G-Gay? Really? My God, what a waste…" She said truthfully, shaking her head in disbelieve. "Why are the good looking guys always forbidden?" She asked, more to herself than to the girl sitting next to her.
Hisa glanced at Kaoru from the corner of her hazelnut brown eyes, allowing a knowing smirk to play at her fully cherry lips, before placing the coffee on top of the balcony. "Hum…from the look on your face, I'd say you had a bad failed relationship in the past. And I know exactly what happened."
"You do?" Kaoru asked dubiously. What was it with this girl and guessing thoughts and situations?
"Yep. I know what happened." She paused for a moment. "You fell in loved with a client, didn't you?"
What? Kaoru was about to answer her but remembered quickly that inside this Tea House, 'Kaoru' no longer existed. 'Ying Fa' was who she was now. Hum…fell in love with a client? Haven't thought about it but it's a great story…you could be a writer Hisa. Okay Kaoru, start bringing out your journalist experience… Placing a slight shocked face, she faked her surprise. "H-How did you know?"
Hisa snorted. "Easy. By the way you were talking, slightly hostile, pained and that faraway look on your eyes mixing with that bittersweet question…everything indicated a past and hurtful relationship. And, you being a prostitute, a forbidden relationship with a client was the best conclusion anyone could reach." She paused shortly, glancing at Kaoru. "Am I wrong?"
To 'Kaoru' you are…but to 'Ying Fa' you're not and that worries me. Kaoru thought to herself, while nodding slowly, apparently mesmerized by the girls ability to guess. Unfortunately for me Hisa, you represent a problem…a big problem. With that on her mind, she turned to look at Anji who entered the room again and placed her breakfast in front of her. Thanking him, both girls followed the handsome bartender with their eyes until he entered the kitchen once again.
Kaoru chuckled and turned to Hisa. "Don't tell me you earned that ability from your uncle." She said grinning, taking a small bite on her toast.
Hisa shrugged. "I'm not sure if I earned this from my uncle or not but I know my mother was like this…" She trailed off, playing with the small coffee spoon lying on the forgotten cup.
"What happened to her? If you don't mind me asking…" Kaoru asked softly, knowing very well how hard it was to talk about the past.
The girl sifted on her seat, obviously grieving on the matter. "It's not what you're thinking." She said evenly, confusing Kaoru. "My parents died when I was very young on a car accident and my uncle took guard of me right after the tragedy. I don't remember them much and, by now, I'm sure that my only memories of both of them come from what my uncle told me. He always told me how his sister sang well and was very perceptive about everything and everyone." She stopped, chuckling softly. "He said that, when they were young, he used to tease her and hide her dolls, making up amazing stories about the missing doll and my mother would always listen until the end. Then, she would look at him in the eye and say 'Great, that story was even better than the other one. Now hand me the dolls or I'll tell mommy.'"
Kaoru had to laugh at that. It was so hard to picture Kanryuu being a kid but now, after Hisa's description of this man's past, Kaoru was able to see him in his younger years, when no one could predict what he was about to become in the future. The question was 'why' had he become the monster he is today? What is the truth behind his acts and the real reason for this major empire he created?
Taking a sip of her white milk, Kaoru sighed and glanced at Hisa. "He sounds like a nice uncle." Although I doubt a really nice uncle would prostitute his niece…
Hisa nodded happily. "He is. I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for him."
Maybe in a better family and house… Kaoru thought briefly, biting down her second bread toast. "How long do you work here?"
"Ever since I arrived. I think I was about nine years old. I'm turning nineteen this year so… Ten years! Long time ne?"
More like a lifetime! "You were only eight when you started to work? That's so young…Was it your decision?"
Hisa stared blankly at Kaoru for a moment, before widening her eyes, giving a loud chuckle. "Oh no Ying Fa, you have it all wrong! I'm not a prostitute!" She said amusedly.
Kaoru blinked. "Then what do you do in this place?"
The girl looked down at her hands as she played with the end of her short red mini-skirt. Kaoru narrowed her eyes slightly at that gesture but waited for the explanation. "I do…random things! Like showing the house to the new girls!" She said, winking once again.
Kaoru smiled shortly, silently wondering what she could possibly mean with 'random things'. Whatever it was, something inside Kaoru told her that it wasn't a good thing. Pushing the matter aside, she turned to the girl. "So…about that laboratory under us…how do you get there? I mean, I don't want to be entering it without permission just because I'm new here…" Please don't find this strange… Kaoru pleaded silently.
Hisa chuckled. "Sure, it has happened before and uncle was raving mad when he found out. You see that small door near the entrance of the house?" She asked, pointing to a dark door located on the wall next to the front door. Kaoru nodded. "That's the access to downstairs. Since our guards are usually there to make sure everyone stepping inside the house is safe to be here, one who enters the house never notices the small door behind the tall muscular and intimidating guard." She explained quietly.
"Oh…do you have any idea what she does there?" Kaoru asked innocently.
The girl hesitated for a second. "I, hum…I haven't a clue."
Right…and I'm Kanryuu. Even a fellow worker you seem to suspect. What can I do to make you trust me Hisa? What…? Kaoru thought while nodding shortly. Finishing her breakfast, they rose from their seats and continued the tour around the house, all the while meeting new people and more and more information.
Night had fallen and already the corridor was filled with laughter and teasing replies from the prostitutes and their clients. It was about ten o'clock and Kaoru was inside the room, sitting in front of the fireplace, softly humming to herself as she waited for Kenshin to enter the room. The day had been busy and rather interesting. It was surprising to find out that the people living inside this Tea House weren't ill treated. On the contraire, many of them told Kaoru that they were much happier living in here than back at their houses. Humor was the word of the day as even the tall guards joined the circle during lunch to share some laugher.
The only thing still lingering in Kaoru's mind was that girl…
Megumi.
She was positively sure that the woman wasn't doing anything innocent. Megumi was making opium. And Kaoru only needed an evidence of that before adding that detail into Kanryuu's process. The fact that she was being held inside the laboratory was enough to tell Kaoru that she was being ill treated, if not tortured. She needed to tell Kenshin all the information as soon as he entered the room.
Speaking of which, it was about time for him to arrive. Glancing at a clock hanged on the wall, she confirmed the hours. It'sten o'clock already…why is he taking so long? Please don't tell me something bad happened…
A sound of a door opening broke her thoughts and she sighed, rising from her seat and turning with a soft smile on her face.
But…
Her breath caught up inside her chest, her eyes widened as her heart seemed to stop and beating fast at the same time. Her smile vanished from her face immediately
"Hello doll! Ready to play?"
You're not Kenshin…
"Good evening sir." A tall guard muttered to Kenshin, stepping aside to let the smaller man enter the dark house of temptation, pleasure and obsession. Kenshin nodded and entered the room, breathing instantly in distaste the distinct smell of tobacco with pure whisky. Not bothering to sit down and take a drink, he made his way towards the door leading to the bedrooms. He was half way through the lobby when Junichi appeared right in front of him.
"Good evening Kiuchi-san! Back here so soon, ne?" The slim man asked, slightly nervous.
Kenshin narrowed his eyes. "Of course. I told you I would be coming if I was pleased with the girl. Now if you excuse me…I have somewhere to go." He said shortly, attempting to pass the man in front of him, who stretched his arm in front of Kenshin, stopping him from continuing.
Something is not right… Kenshin thought shortly, turning the best cold eyes he could picture to the swallowing man beside him. "Why are you stopping me?"
Giving a nervous laugh, Junichi waved a dismissal hand in front of Kenshin. "Nothing, of course! I was just…wondering if you would like to sit down and enjoy a good drink or some of our girls before-"
"Where is she?" Kenshin asked coldly.
Surpassing a growl that was begging to come out, he fought to control his temper as he watched the man swallow quickly at the question posed. "She's…preparing herself for you!"
My ass. "Get out of my way." Kenshin stated shortly, pushing the man aside and climbing the stairs, all the while listening to the man's pleas in order to control the situation. When he reached the door, a muffled cry came from the room. With a deep angry growl, he pushed the door opened and entered the room quickly to find Kaoru under a repugnant man, tears trailing down her cheeks as she obviously tried to fought whatever attempts the man was trying with her.
In a second, Kenshin grabbed the man's shirt and angrily pushed him off Kaoru's frail body, stepping in front of her and glaring to the drunken man. The stumbling man turned to Kenshin and glared back. "Hey you…what'ou think y're doin? That's MY whore!"
Pushing him out of the room, Kenshin grabbed the drunken arms behind his back and marched to the large living room until he was face to face with a surprised Junichi. Blinking, the thin man gave a small squeak as Kenshin threw the drunken man to the floor. Angrily lifting his eyes from the disgusting creature, he looked Junichi in the eye. "What the fuck was he doing in MY hooker's room?" He asked hard. "I do remember making a deal with you, where she wouldn't be touched by anyone but me." He shut his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel his blood boiling in his veins rushing a wave of rage through his entire body as he wished for nothing more than to spank the man until he couldn't breathe for himself anymore. Opening his eyes when no answer came from the stuttering manager, he glared. "Why was he allowed to go there?" Kenshin yelled at Junichi's face.
"Sir, please, let's not get out of control! Y-You see, I, well, I didn't know you were coming today and-and he…just-"
"SHE'S MINE!" Kenshin snapped.
Before Junichi could answer that, four muscular guards dressed in black surrounded the three of them, as a big commotion was starting to gather in order to see what was going on. Suddenly, a high pitched voice sounded from behind the four guards. "What is going on?" The four men parted ways and a smaller man appeared in front of Kenshin.
Kanryuu… Kenshin thought briefly as two dull brown eyes glance at him intensively. "Is there a problem sir?" He asked as coldly as his eyes. This stature, blond hair and a maddening smile, Kenshin silently hoped Kaoru would never have to get close to this man. His eyes told him that he was capable of everything to succeed on his plans. And everything was something very dangerous…
Gesturing to the fallen drunken man, Kenshin explained the situation. "This drunken idiot was inside my hooker's room when I specifically made a deal with your incompetent manager that no one would touch her but me." He paused. "Apparently, your manager has a problem in his hearing."
"You're talking about Ying Fa?"
Kenshin simply nodded. Ying Fa…Sakura…I'd say Jasmine would define her better but… He watched as Kanryuu slowly turned his eyes from him to the trembling manager. "I do remember a deal being made just yesterday Junichi. I hardly believe you forgot about that, ne?" He coldly asked, turning to Kenshin without giving Junichi an opportunity to explain himself. "Please sir, my sincerest apologies for this mess. If you would please…" He trailed off, motioning to the door leading to the rooms. With a short nod, Kenshin walked away from the scene.
Kanryuu watched him walking away until the door closed behind him. Turning to two of his guards, he motioned them to pick up the drunken man and carry him out of the House. They nodded and marched out of the room. "Junichi…" He spoke softly, bringing the man's attention to him. "Do not forget to whom you're working for. I won't tolerate something like this in my house again. Understood?"
"H-Hai sir, of course. I was just-"
"I don't care what you were. Get out of my sight." Kenryuu interrupted blandly. As soon as Junichi was out of sight, he turned to another man standing next to him.
"Research this…Kiouchi-san. I want to know every single detail of his entire life, from when he was born until this afternoon. I want to know exactly who he is, what he does and what is his role in this game we call life."
