Chapter: 8
19-year-old billionaire
Recap:
Kaoru took Kenshin's spider out for a day at the mall, seduced a locksmith to get a key to the car and used his money to buy tons of stuff. Kenshin didn't even notice she was home when he got back from work and both of them crashed. They woke up at 5 in the morning and were caught in the same bathroom. They had an issue with the freshly showered Kenshin and it was Kaorus birthday.
"I... I was thinking of my birthday too, I just wanted to make sure you were talking about my birthday." Kaoru said slowly. Kenshin ignored her uncertainty and continued to rub her shoulders. Kaoru was happy to hear silence but disturbed by him knowing her birthday. She didn't recall ever telling him.
"Kenshin how did you know today was my..." Kaoru said her string of words fading.
"I had Soujiro find out." Kenshin said looking down at her.
"What else are you two digging up on me?" She questioned forcefully getting angry.
"Soujiro looked up about your parents, your mother, father, step-mother. He looked up your net worth in the bank and told me how much it will grow if still invested in the bank years from now. He told me of any and all records of you in any news paper or document." Kenshin said unsure of what she would do to him.
"I have all the information of your world at the touch of my finger tips." Kenshin said marveling at modern technology. Kaoru on the other hand was appalled.
"So your telling me your stalker friend looked up everything he could on me, my family, and my fortune? And none of you can trust me to give you the information you seek? Well I've got news for you Kenshin; if it were my choice I would never give you or your greedy organization any of my wealth. And you wont be getting to know me any more than the papers tell you!" She said standing up and walking out of the room leaving Kenshin stunned.
"Kaoru..." he said after the door had slammed almost falling off the hinges. She angrily fled down the stairs and out the back door into a lavish garden. She walked among roses, daffodils, irises and hundreds of other flowers. It made her feel at home to be around flowers of all kinds and shapes again.
She practically lived at the flower shop so being around earth's beauty marks was refreshing. She sat down on a white bench and picked a flower bringing it to her nose and smelling its sweet aroma. She happily sighed and leaned against the back of the bench feeling renewed.
'He makes me so angry, but being around the only thing on earth that makes me truly happy is uplifting. Im beginning to feel better, even if it is creepy to know kenshin knows every illegal, spectacular and internet worthy thing I've done.' Kaoru thought standing and walking along a path watching the flowers.
Kenshin watched her from the window on the second floor of his house. He saw how at ease she was in the garden and how her tense muscles that he couldn't soothe were loose and free being around flowers. He envied his own garden but refused to admit he was jealous of a plant.
After a while of frolicking in the dew kissed vegetation kaoru stepped once again into the white house. She left dark brown mud prints along the tile to the kitchen were she began to clean her shoes. Kenshin emerged from the front yard were he had taken his cell call and saw the brown small prints in a beeline to the kitchen. He followed the degraded out of place prints to the sink were a rejuvenated kaoru was washing them off.
She turned and smirked at him with a wicked glint in her eyes. Anger surged through him but he forced himself to calm down.
"Oh Kenshin, I am so sorry, I didn't realize my shoes were dirty till I got all the way up her." Kaoru said a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. But it wasn't just any smile, it spoke a millions word with out a sound, it was a vengeful smile telling him she did know, and that's why there were so many foot prints.
She practically whipped her shoes off on the carpet leaving dark deep smudges. Kenshin looked from her smiling face to the murky smudges on the ground. Kenshins eyes turned from they're kind purple to a dark swirl of heated amber. Kaoru showed anything but fear of this bloodthirsty killer.
He took a step closer to kaoru and she surprisingly didn't move. Kenshin preferred it this way anyhow. He liked his prey to think they stand a chance then find in the end, they never did. Kaoru eyes sparked with the same flame of a challenge that they did the day they first met.
Kenshin stepped forward again getting closer and closer to his victim. Soon he was just a foot away from her. He took a small step closer and Kaoru found herself backing up. He took another step closer and she took another step away. He took a few more steps and she took a few more steps. Then she found herself cornered.
She was up against a counter but that spark in her eyes never extinguished. However Kenshin was getting closer to her and she found out previously that he wasn't always someone to mess with. Though she was never afraid of anyone, she discovered herself terrified of what Kenshin could do to her.
Kaoru refused to show that fear to him, refused to give him the satisfaction that she like the rest of the world cowered in fright of him.
She pulled herself on the counter and slid to the other side of it stepping off. Kenshin continued to walk toward her, the look of a maniac present in his eyes. Step by step kenshin had cornered kaoru into another room. But this one she could not slip out of.
With one quick motion Kenshin lunged toward her catching her off guard. He grabbed onto her shoulders mid-air so she couldn't escape once they landed. Both of them smacked onto a soft cushy surface padded with bed sheets. She looked around her and found she was in his bedroom, on his bed.
She looked up to see Kenshin towering over her, on all fours his hands resting lightly on her shoulders. His hair reached out towards her revealing his crazed eyes. They were slowly mixing into a golden purple as he began to calm down from his sudden outburst. Kaoru raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
"What are you going to do to me?" She asked trying her hardest to keep from sounding weak and afraid. She sounded more anxious than afraid and Kenshin never thought of her as weak.
"Oh I don't know. There are so many possibilities." He said slowly. Kaoru swallowed and smiled uncertainly. This made Kenshin grin widely until his cell phone began to ring. Kaoru smiled relived he would have to get off of her and not kill her. He released her shoulders and grabbed the phone looking at the caller ID. He tossed the cell phone into the hallway and clasped his hands around her shoulders once again.
She gave him a puppy dogface. "Please let me go, maybe that call was important." Kaoru said simply. Kenshin laughed.
"Calls from Sano are never important." Kenshin said looking deep into her eyes.
"But..." Kaoru pleaded.
"You're not getting off the hook. You got mud all over my clean white house, and you're going to pay for it." Kenshin said.
"But I don't have nearly as much money to pay for it." Kaoru said sadly.
"That's not what I meant." Kenshin said quietly. Kaoru nodded and smiled.
"I know." She said. After a pause Kenshin loosened his grip on her shoulders. Kaoru smiled at him getting lost in his eyes. His deep purple amber eyes were like pools she wanted to jump into. He watched her falling into her endless orbs of mid-night blue.
They sat there for a few minutes lost within each other. Kenshin tilted his head to the side and slowly lowered his head toward hers. Her arms snaked around his neck and she bated her eyes slightly. He lowered closer to her and his arms found their way around her waist.
He pulled himself closer to her smiling when she parted her lips slightly awaiting a kiss. He made contact and shivers erupted across his body. Kaoru deepened the kiss in no time and one hand slid behind his head and the other rested on his cheek above his X shaped scar.
She pulled his hair tie from his hair and allowed it to cascade over their faces. His hand moved up her back under her shirt and he rubbed her back soothingly. Her tongue escaped her mouth and slid across his teeth. He opened his mouth when they heard a click. Kenshin was confused for a second then quickly parted from her and sat down next to her staring intently at the door.
Kaoru frowned and wiped her mouth when the door flung open and a dark shadowed figure stood in the doorway. Kaoru sat up from her laying position to get a better look. Kenshin looked annoyed and quickly stood up walking to the door.
"Hey, Kenshin what were you two doing all alo-"Sano began before the door shut in his face. Kenshin turned around slowly to face Kaoru. He opened his mouth to say something then a knock came from the door. Kenshin rolled his eyes and kaoru laughed mentally.
He opened the door to Sano and stepped outside the room. He closed the door behind him and Kaoru stood up running to the door. She pressed her ear against the door listening to their conversation.
"What do you want Sano?" Kenshin asked.
"I want to know what you were doing in there." Sano said laughing. Kaoru couldn't see but she assumed sano was winking to an embarrassed and royally pissed Kenshin.
"We weren't doing anything, now what did you come here for?" Kenshin asked irritation filling his voice.
"Your lying Kenshin." Sano said but shut up from a death glare from Kenshin. "I came here to tell you of a new assignment. Soujiro and I tried to call you but you didn't pick up." Sano said nudging Kenshin, or so Kaoru pictured.
"What's the assignment SANO?" Kenshin asked through clenched teeth. She could hear sano laugh and that made her want to chuckle.
"We've been called to kill a mighty big fish," Sano said solemnly. "If we pull it off, all of us will go down in history... not just you, you spotlight hog." Sano said. She heard Kenshin laugh.
"So who is it?" Kenshin asked curious.
"Kessler." Sano said.
"Oh, you know its not him we should be worried about, its his army." Kenshin said as-a-matter-of-factly. Sano was silent so Kaoru assumed he had nodded.
"Soujiro will call you with all the details." Sano said and kaoru heard footsteps. She jumped up and ran to the bed and sat down just as the door opened.
"Did you catch all that?" Kenshin asked a smirk playing on his lips. Red accented her cheeks as she nodded slowly. Kenshin sat down on the bed next to her and snaked his arm around her waist pulling her closer. A small smile played on her lips, as he looked deep into her eyes.
He leaned forward and she smiled naughtiness shining in her eyes. As he leaned forward she began to lean backwards. Kenshin pulled back a little surprised but perused her lips persistently.
She eventually leaned back so far she ended up lying on her back Kenshin on top of her. He pulled himself towards her lips and grinned because she had no more room to back up.
He leaned in and kissed her but found she had turned her head denying his lips. He kissed her in a line from her cheek to her lips but she just turned her head the other way. Kenshin now became agitated and he lunged for her lips catching her chin. Again he tried for her lips but found her nose.
He gave up and found himself kissing her neck. She moved her head over so he could reach her neck better and he laughed inside. He was taking advantage of the moment and making a beeline towards her lips when his pant began to vibrate.
Kaoru jumped at the sudden motion and looked to his pocket. He sighed and pulled his phone out answering with a "What?" Kaoru sat there watching his aggravated face she smiled and poked him in the side. He smiled and looked at her mouthing 'what.' She shook her head but poked him again bringing a smile to his face.
She continued to poke him until he stepped out of the room to take his call. He walked back in moments later looking at his phone as if he had never seen it before.
"Kaoru, you heard Sano before right?" Kenshin asked looking at his phone still and she nodded.
"Well the boss asked soujiro to ask me to bring you to his office." Kenshin said slowly looking at her shocked face.
"Wh-What does he want with me?" She asked afraid of the answer. He sat down on the bed next to her and looked into her face.
"I don't know, but I wont let any one hurt you." Kenshin said. Kaoru smiled and stood up walking to her room. She got dressed again in fancier clothes and found Kenshin. They walked to the garage hand in hand and drove to HIS office.
