Disclaimer: I don't own Kenshin, or Kaoru, or any of the Ruroken cast now that I think about it. I just enjoy…playing with them for my own twisted amusement.
Author's notes: Waiiii! It's so cool! AOL XM Radio has anime soundtrack and J-Pop stations! So much better than the pathetic radio stations they have locally…there used to be a cool alternative rock station in town, but they got rid of it…. I wish I could connect to the internet in my car….
Duality exists in all things…
Love Hate

Be the answer to my Chaos
Be the end to all my Anarchy….
Chapter Two:
I smirked as I watched her run away from me, gingerly rubbing my nose. She has spunk, I'll give her that. Not many people have the will to defy me, and even less have the gumption to attack me…. Personally, that made her all the more desirable, I hate it when women get all simpering and weepy around me. My little koneko has guts and I love how those stormy ocean colored eyes light up in her anger. My smirk broadened as I watched that pert little backside fade into the distance. I'd let her get away…for now.
Udo Jin-e had me a little worried, he must have been watching me for some time to realize that I was interested in the petite little bartender with the defiant blue eyes. I haven't been as careful as I should have been, and Kaoru almost paid the price for it. If he knew, then there would be others…I would have to start taking precautions.
I felt my teeth clench in anger and frustration. I need to make sure she's completely safe before I claim her. Before I make sure that she is mine for all eternity. She is the Yin to my Yang, the golden weight that will even out my soul's scales….
I watched her firm ass fade completely from my view and I lifted my fingers to my lips, remembering the taste of her and I felt my body respond. Damn, it's hard to believe that I could lose the self-control that I have gained from my centuries of existence over one small slip of a woman.
Who is very, very afraid of fangs apparently.
I felt my face contort into a smirk again as I began to follow my little koneko. What she doesn't know can't hurt her right?

I watched as she stepped into her bedroom and slipped out of her clothes. I must be insane testing my restraint like this. It's taking all of my will power not to break in there and ravage her senseless at the moment.
I issued a sigh from deep within my chest, she is an absolutely gorgeous creature. Not a classical beauty, but a beauty that comes from deep within. Her vivacity, her love of life, and her genuinely trusting and open soul.
I must be a closet masochist or something, torturing myself by having her so close, yet so far away. I can almost feel that way her skin felt under my hands, so smooth over well toned muscle, so soft…
Damnit, Himura! Get ahold of yourself!
I can remember the first time I saw her standing on the other side of that bar. I really hadn't wanted to go anywhere that night, but as usual, Sano drug me out much to my protests. I don't think my protests effect him very much anyways, he's always dragging me out to do something I don't want to do. I don't know why I let him do that…I just do. Oh course, my protests have been half-hearted at best lately, since I first laid my eyes on her.
She looked like some unattainable goddess standing there, even in the darkness I could see her vivid blue eyes, and they way they lit up when she smiled. She wore a dark purple long sleeved shirt, cut in such a way to give just a teasing of her cleavage. A tight little black skirt, and those fishnet stockings showing of glimpses of the creamy skin of her thighs. Her hair was a black curtain that shone ink blue under the lights….
Even with out smelling her scent I knew I found her. My mate, my love, my life, …my light.
I got closer to her and noticed the fine little details. The way she walked with delicate grace and self-awareness, the calluses along her palms that gave away her kenjutsu training. The scars covering her knuckles that spoke of a long dedication to some form of jujitsu. The quite defiant stubbornness that laid within her eyes that showed she was no push over.
To an ordinary man she would prove to be quite a challenge, and by ordinary I mean ningen. Human. Not the demonic monster she faced tonight. I groaned inwardly, wishing there was a wall around to beat my head against to punish myself for my stupidity. I didn't think that there were any demons willing to challenge me, Himura Kenshin known also as the Battousai, over anything I claimed as my own.
And I had laid claim on the beautiful Kamiya Kaoru.
I let my mind wander back to our first meeting, remembering the faint traces of attraction in her eyes when she first saw me before she struggled to push it down, and the glare I received afterwards while she got me my drink.
I half-expected her to start fawning over me, like so many other women do and I half-wished that she would. But not my Kaoru, she'd rather bite her tongue off and choke on it than throw herself at a man.
And quite frankly, I prefer it this way. The hunt is always much more satisfying than going to a store and buying your meat….
The light in Kaoru's room flickered off, and I settled myself in for a long night on the rooftop across from her apartment building. I know if I'd get any closer she'd be able to feel my presence, and I know she does. All those delightful little scowls I get from her in my direction at the bar tell me so.
&&&&&&
I watched as the sun rose, in beautiful pink and orange streaks across the fading black of the night sky. I had never really taken the time to enjoy the world around me in all my centuries of existence. The soft quiet of the morning before the world wakes up and starts it's hustle and bustle, a mass of humanity rushing through their lifetimes only to pass through it so quickly without stopping to acknowledge the wonder of the world around them.
I wondered momentarily if it was Kaoru's influence. She takes her days one at a time, living in the moment. Sure, she goes to school and works, but she never rushing through anything. Never allows her self to get caught up in the sea of humanity that surrounds her. She's her own person, not striving to be anyone but herself, which is rare in this day and age.
I can imagine that even if she lived in centuries past, she wouldn't allow the rules of society to dictate her actions.
I stood up and took one more glance at her darkened windows, she didn't have class until later in the afternoon and as much as I would love to continue to sit here and watch her, I had things to do. I had to find out how Jin-e had been able to find out about Kaoru, and therefore me.
I allowed a feral grin to cross my face, someone would be paying dearly today. In blood.
