Chapter 4
What?" Kenshin asked, looking very pale.
"Are you going to kill me." Kaoru repeated for him. "Like you killed that man?."
"No, I could never kill you." He said. "Because you are mine."
He wasn't angry. Oh no, he was beyond angry. He was furious, not at Kaoru, never at her, but at him self. He stood getting ready for her to asked to leave. He would sooner be a servant to Misao, and that was saying something.
His eyes were amber again he could feel it. He could also feel her fear and her...excitement? Maybe she wasn't as afraid as she made her self to be.
"I want to go." Kaoru said through gritted teeth.
Or maybe not.
"No, your going nowhere. Not after I spent close to five hundred years searching for you."
Kaoru looked up in shock. "What, are you talking about. I just want you out of my sight. You remind me of someone."
So that was the problem. He knew she remembered him. He just didn't know which times she remembered. He now knew, unfortunately, that she remembered the bad times. His eyes started to glow as he reverted to his truer self.
Kenshin looked up with an insane grin on his face. His eyes were glowing an eerie red, two pearly white fangs protruded over his bottom lip. He was going to tell her some of the truth of her past.
"You don't get it do you. You have these dreams that are just to real to be mere dreams, that I'm in, and you just don't want to be around me because I looked like me. Oh its classical. Now listen and listen well my kitten, I have searched for you for a long time, and now that I have you I'm not letting go."
Kaoru backed away in half in fear the other half in excitement. "What are you?" She asked fearfully. She was up against the headboard of the bed, and tried to make herself smaller as he came closer to her. He grabbed her chin and made her look at him. "I thought you would have figured it out by now. I'm a vampire."
"Make love to me. Shinta, please."
"Call me Kenshin.
"Please Shinta, please make the pain go away."
"Say it."
"Please Kenshin."
"That's better."
Kenshin kissed her hard, letting all his emotions and passions from the past centuries of loneliness. He rubbed his hands over her memorizing her curves. He kissed her senseless before moving to the string that kept Kaoru's night gown on.
He stopped before he went to far. He needed her willing. But, god he wanted her.
"I want you. If you want me to stop say so now. Because once I start I will not be able to stop.
Kaoru saw that his eyes were amber and that he was completely serious. She didn't know what possessed her to do it, but she nodded, not knowing she had just sealed her fate. With that one nod she had truly bound her self to this man for the rest of eternity.
Warm. That was all her barely awake mind could mange to process. She woke in layers becoming slowly aware. The junkture at her neck hurt badly, but she couldn't move.
She remembered last night and she felt like a slut. She had freely giving her self to an almost total stranger and what were those word he whispered? Kai hika noma. What did those words mean. She was sore all over her thoat hurt from all the screaming.
She blushed. He had taken her virginity, and she had let him. She felt the bed shift under her as he sat up. He looked at her with a truly content smile. His hand brushed the strands of hair that had fell into her face aside.
"How are you feeling Kaoru." His deep baritone voice soft and sweet.
"Horrible. Why do I feel so bad?" She asked.
"Because technically you died last night. You are changing right now." He said softly. "Do not I repeat do not attempt to get out of bed. Rest and recover. You are now my wife."
Kaoru layed in a half shock she had died last night. Then that would make her a vampire. She was a vampire. Another thought occurred.
"Your wife?" She asked thoroughly confused.
"Yes. I needed you willing to preform the ritual. One of the reasons your body hurts so bad. I've wanted you for my wife for centuries, since the first time I met you."
He got out of bed and went to get Megumi. He wanted to confirm his belief. And he hoped that she was pregnant. If she was than he would at least have a child. Even if its only one.
He had always wanted children. He had cried when his first was born dead. That was the first time he had ever cried. He killed, yes, he was rultless too, but that didn't mean he had no heart. If he had no heart then he would not have been able to cry.
He reached Megumi's office, and walked in.
"Megumi," He adressed. "Come with me, I want you to examine Kaoru."
Megumi quickly finished what she was doing and ran to keep up with Kenshin.
"Why do you want me to examine her?" Megumi asked once she was walking beside him.
"We mated last night. And I believe her to be..." His voice cracked and lowered down to a whisper. "Pregnant. I can only hope."
"Why can you only hope?" Megumi asked.
"She still hates me, and we only mated last night because she got caught in the heat of the moment."
"Wow." Was all Megumi could say.
Megumi shoed Kenshin out of the room and started her examination of Kaoru. She was half shocked when Kaoru had all the attributes of a fifth level vampire when she should have only had the fourth level attributes. When she was done she was happily able to tell Kenshin the good news.
"She is indeed pregnant. Don't tell her though. Let her find out on her own, and don't start treating her like glass until she tell you are desperately tries to run away. That usually signifies that the female knows. Oh, and one more thing. You have done the impossible Battousai. She is already at level five. Now good bye I'm craving some of my mates blood." With that said Megumi walked off with a bounce in her step.
Kenshin could almost jump in joy, but since that would ruin his image he settled for a small smile. He walked into his and Kaoru's room. He was one happy vampire: He had a mate and a child on the way, and while it might take awhile he would have lots more.
Apperantly Kaoru had taken his earilyer advice and went to sleep. He sat on the bed, beside her and started stroking her hair. His lovely mate slept so he decided to cast a protection spell on her to keep her safe from assassins.
"Aia kensi nahani tenai seta kaina sika ja kaina mosika iaa lilja mikji" he wishpered. (aia goddess of power, protect my mate and my child for all times.)
Assassin were probably his biggest worry. They couldn't hurt him, but they could hurt his mate and child. He would have to train her as soon as possible, but it didn't look like he could get in anymore than the basics. The spell was in his old speech (I created the language when I was ten and decided to use it in this story) and very powerful but a spell could only last for so long.
He closed his eyes and made a decision, she wasn't going to like it, but she would have to adjust. He had made his final decision he would do this to keep her safe.
A young hyper active girl with a braid that hung all the way down to her knees, and dark green eyes looked at her cell phone as if she had been burned. Kenshin had taken a mate. Her eyes darkened as she came to a conclusion. Either he had finally found her or he had given up. The first choice was the most obvious.
"Aoshi-sama the Battousai has taken a mate, and has a new mission for us."
Aoshi inclined his head to show he was listen.
"His mate is also pregnant and needs protection. Our mission is to protect her as soon as we can get to Japan."
"So he has finally found her." Was all Aoshi said as he went to pack the belongings he had brought with him on this mission.
His thoughts turned to the young shinobi in the living room, Misao, he loved her but he would probable never tell her. All of a sudden he herd a crash and saw that Misao now back in he hyper mode had destroyed the kitchen. He did the only thing he could at times like this. He sweat dropped and shook his head.
Thump.
"Ouch watch were your going rooster head."
Thump.
"Watch where you going Little Yahiko."
Thump.
"Don't call me LITTLE!"
Thump.
"Sushss, don't want to wake the missy."
"The who?"
"The missy, didn't you hear the master took a mate last night."
"Is it her?"
"Yes"
Kaoru opened her eyes and glared at the door, couldn't those oafs be little quieter. Her head hurt and she didn't feel like moving. So she took a deep breath and yelled.
"You idiots outside my room. Go away and shut up before I make sure you can never have children!"
She heard the scampering of two pairs of feet. Now that they were gone try to get some well deserved sleep, but no it seemed as the gods hated her today. Kenshin came billowing into the room with amusement laced through his entire posture.
"Why won't you people let me efing sleep."
"Well I was but since your up I decided you needed to eat." He said as a tray appeared out of nowhere.
On the tray were a different kinds of meat and a bowl of soup with a side salad, and a few chocolate chip cookies. Kenshin crossed his arms and looked at Kaoru expectantly. Apparently he expected her to eat all of it.
"If you don't eat every bit, that doesn't include the cookies, I will personally shove it down your throat ." He said sternly.
"I thought vampire only ea/drinkt blood."
Kenshin smirked. The walked over and pointed to a glass of crimson liquid that she didn't notice before.
"Well Kaoru, while you did die last night you were also reborn. Vampires are not the un-dead as most people say, but very much alive. I just consider us an evolved form of humans."He said slowly making sure she took all of that in. "The lower level of vampires do need blood, but you my dearest don't. This is because you are a high level vampire. You will have to drink some blood, and you will crave it, but you won't need it after the first week. And because you need energy you have to eat regular food."
"I think that's the longest I've ever heard you talk." Kenshin laughed, and Kaoru hit him on the head. "I was serious Battousai." Her voice was cold when she said this.
Battousai narrowed his eyes he really didn't like her attitudes. He could almost swear she was bipolar. Maybe she was, after all she did grow up in foster homes. Uh-oh foster home plus no real parents equals mental instability.
"Tell me Kaoru. Do you have a bipolar disorder."
She growled at him before slightly nodding her head. Then she lunged at him. And bit his arm.
"Kaoru calm down."
"Blood. Must have blood." Kaoru's blood beast had taken over.
Noriykoi: Now my faithful have to endure a dreadful cliffhanger, but when I get 13 more reviews I will update, I already have chapter 5 done, and if you give me big fat juicy reviews I might just update sooner.
Foxfire: Don't look at me I'm just props.
Battousai: Noriy my foot hurts can you make Kaoru make it better?
Noriykoi: um no, she hates you remember?
Battousai: Oh, yeah. I forgot.
