I AM…STILL ALIVE…! OMFG 5 SECOND DANCE.
Hey guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't updated! Like I said, high school. Today is basically the only day where I don't have a crap load of work to do. Oy, I never knew they packed it on so hard as a freshmen. Well, they say you get used to it…I'm hoping that's the case.
Anyway, I've really no time to reply to your reviews! Thank you everyone for being so patient!
No real big warnings besides this chapter will probably be short and focused ONLY ON KENSHIN AND KAORU, LETS ALL PARTY.
Disclaimer- I own nothing. Not Kenshin, not Kaoru, not Sano, nothing. Not even Sou-chan. Oh, Life is ever cruel.
Battousai - suck it up TT
Lendra - … I h8 u :(

Chapter 15 – Dirty little Secret
-
"Augh!"
Thump!
Letting a small sigh escape, Kenshin proceeded to rub his temples to ease the annoyance and stress level that began to rise once more. Another text book had gained yet one way trip across the hallway and landed within the pile of much hated books.
"Kaoru, must you chuck your heavy, and loud textbooks across the house…?"
He heard another shriek of frustration coming from the living room where Kaoru had originally set her sites to study in.
"Kenshin, that stuff is in no way comprehendible!"
Kenshin groaned and left his text book and made his way from his room into the living room.
"It is in every way comprehendible, Kaoru. You've just got to have the patience…! So please, must you chuck your only source of studying across the hall? And if you don't have to, please, please refrain from doing so. I have a bad head ache…"
Kaoru had begun pacing back and forth all over the living room, ranting about how the teacher never even gave them specific things to study, how he didn't even give them a heads up about it, or how he even ceased to mention barely anything that he expected to be done on the test. (That scene as me written all over it. Test coming up, I panic, complain, then study. With stress somewhere in between.)
Kenshin gave off another small groan and slowly staggered over to the frantic girl, massaging his temples to try and ease the throbbing.
"Kaoru, if I promise to help you, will you please try to control your temper?"
Kaoru sighed and nodded.
Kenshin sighed in relief and hobbling over to retrieve the abandoned textbook, he started his little lesson in tutoring.
-
"I get it! Hah! That's easy!"
Kenshin smiled as Kaoru smiled brightly and quickly brought her pencil down onto her worksheet paper and wrote away.
"You see? Science really isn't that hard to get. You just have to know the steps."
Kaoru was too busy with her solving the problem to reply to his comment. She poked her tongue out as she continued to solve the equation with ease. Kenshin watched her with a small grin on his face.
This little pattern continued on for a half hour or so until Kenshin finally had to call it quits and return to his own room to study.
-
knock, knock
"Kenshin…?"
Kaoru slowly twisted the little golden knob and poked her head into the secrecy of Kenshin's humble abode.
She suddenly quieted her steps as she spotted him, sound asleep on the pages of his open textbook. She looked at the steaming tea that was cradled in her palm and smiled. It probably didn't taste that good anyway.
She hesitantly approached him and placed the tea on the desk next to his text book and then quickly went to retrieve a blanket from his bed and gently placed it onto him.
She smiled at him warmly, fiddling with his red locks with interest, her mind being drawn into the flame color. She smiled as she heard him sigh in his sleep as she continued her innocent teasing.
She shook her head finally and stretched her cramped limbs, groaning as sleep starting to take her victim as well as the red head before. Feeling the lull of sleep take its greedy claim on her senses, she fell back onto Kenshin's bed. She stared at the ceiling a few idle seconds before rolling onto her side and curling her hands under her chin, then finally falling into a deep sleep.
-
Kenshin felt his taking in of breath deepen as he awoke, trying to blink away the sleep that tugged at his eye-lids. Groaning a little and rubbing the fatigue from his eyes, Kenshin slowly stood with a grunt. He almost didn't notice the fleece blanket the slipped from his shoulders and the foreign mug of cold tea by his text book (which had just a smidget of drool on the open page.)
Blinking in confusing, he rubbed his neck wearily and searched his memory for those new objects, but found no trace as to where they could have come from.
Unless…
Kenshin's thoughts were cut to a minimum as the light pattern of breathing sounded from the originally silent room. He turned around to face his bed and there he spotted the figure of Kaoru, curled up contently on the comforts of his bed.
Kenshin stared at her for a few moments, trying to gather his thoughts into a neat file. He hardly was able to register the feeling of movement as his feet unconsciously led himself over to Kaoru's sleeping form.
He slowly crawled onto the bed along side her and stared at her with interest. His mind was hazy and his heart had begun to thump in his chest. He felt his lips moving, but only a little while after did he realize he had spoken.
"Kaoru…"
His whisper was very light and slightly scratchy from his recent awakening. Kaoru hadn't stirred from her slumber, reacting in another attempt from Kenshin to rouse her. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered once more,
"Kaoru…"
This time he raised the volume of his voice just by a small bit. This time he had succeeded in his goal. Kaoru shifted lightly in her position and grumbled a few incoherent words before letting her sapphire eyes open.
She blinked a few times before rolling onto her back with what little strength she possessed. She stared at Kenshin's face for a few moments, trying to digest the unwanted stir she got from her sleep.
Her sight was slightly abstract, but she was able to make out the familiar lump of red hair on Kenshin's head. Also, gleaming at her were a familiar pair of golden eyes. She narrowed her eyes slightly to get a better look at his face.
"Kenshin, what are you-" Kaoru began in a raspy voice, but was interrupted by the low hum of Kenshin's voice.
"What are you doing in my room."
He stated his want for an answer in a soft manner, instigating that he was not pressuring her into a verbal dual. Kaoru shook her head.
"What do you-"
Once again, Kenshin interrupted her by leaning closer to her, his voice lowering even more with his closeness.
"And sleeping on my bed…"
His molten gold eyes stared lazily into hers, waiting her reply. She could only stare at him with a growing interest as the overwhelming realization of him coming onto her slowly started to settle into her slumber-drugged mind.
She searched her mind for an answer as she started to shy away from his intimidating yet attractively roughish form.
"I-I was just…I came in here t-to give you some tea, and a found you sleeping and I-"
This time, she was silenced in her chattering with the light press of his finger to her tender lips. She blinked rapidly a few times before lifting her eyes up to meet his once again, a small flit of surprise in her sapphire orbs.
"No need to be so jumpy, Kaoru…"
The way in which he drawled out her name caused shivers to run up her spine. He smirked as she closed her eyes for the briefest of moments. He slowly leaned down and put his mouth to her ear and whispered breathily,
"After all…I don't mind…"
This time, her shivers became quite obvious to Kenshin as his smirk thickened to a smug grin. Taking his change, he lovingly nipped at the lobe of her ear and felt a flash of lust invade his senses as Kaoru tensed and gave off a small squeak. He then returned to his business, this time teasing her with a small flick of his tongue, causing yet more shudders to occur.
Kaoru glanced around the room rapidly, desperately trying to find a way to distract her mind from the physical attention her ear was getting. His humid breathe danced on her lobe and then he took another nip at it. She fought with herself, mentally yelling to push him off of her. But the oddity of it all was that the beating of her heart seemed to synchronize with the rushed feeling she was getting out of it. She screamed that it was foolish teenaged hormones. That all of this was forbidden and that it should not be happening.
It shouldn't have been…
…But it was.
Kenshin continued to whisper provoking taunts and teases to her, receiving his wanted reactions with a smirk. She barely noticed his trail of feather light kisses from her ear, down her cheek, in hopes to reach her lips. She felt her stomach flutter at this and feared that if she were to let it get too far, they wouldn't be able to put a stop to it all. She had to warn him of her fear.
"K-Kenshin…"
Her voice was so breathy that he had almost not been able to track it. But the pleasurable chill it sent down his spine put it to his attention.
"Yeah…?"
Kaoru shook her head and put her hands on his shoulders, trying hard to find the strength to push him off of her.
"W-we shouldn't be doing this…?"
She had gotten only a few inches of distance between them before Kenshin persistently placed his body back on hers and stubbornly refused to stop his feathery kisses, requesting her reasoning.
"Why…?"
Kaoru groaned lightly at the boy's pushiness and tried to pick him off her again, finding herself unable to do so.
"I-It's not right…!"
Kaoru jumped as gave a nip under her chin and blushed profoundly.
"Who says…?"
Kenshin's constant questioning and the distracting actions he was forcing on her raised her agitation as groaned once more and refused to be aroused by his painfully obvious and quite effecting arousing techniques.
"People will find out, then rumors will spread and then soon enough, gossip about me pregnant with your child will start up!"
Kaoru's obvious distress about the situation didn't seem to effect Kenshin too much. He only grinned at her irritation and muttered lightly,
"That wouldn't be too bad…"
Kaoru's eyes widened as the blush on her face a fierce, deep red.
"Kenshin! H-How could you even…even-! You disgusting little shrew!"
Kenshin merely chuckled once more and drew away from her, staring into her eyes. The boyish smirk on his face created a skip of Kaoru's heart and the cloudy glaze in his eyes caused her mouth to run dry.
"Kaoru, don't even try to hide behind that little statement…you know as well as I do that no one's going to find out…"
Kaoru desperately waved her arms about, sputtering protests. Kenshin silenced her with his finger once more and shook his head.
"That's not what I'm referring to."
He lowered his face to hers and with a flash of his golden eyes, he put his clever mind to work.
"You know why…?"
She shook her head lightly, unable to move his stationary finger.
He stomped out the roaring fire within Kaoru by a single method to his reasoning. He smirked and brought his face dangerously close to hers and answered in a lustful whisper,
"Because, this will be our little secret…"
And with that said, he slowly removed his finger from her lips in which she instinctively roved her tongue over, only to be caught up with the mouth of Kenshin himself. He had wasted little time in depleting the distance between them and whether or not she was finished with her lip-wetting job, he proved himself uncaring of that factor as he drove his mouth to hers in a delectable duo of his lips against her own.
