"Kaoru," breathed Kenshin, looking at her from his laying position. He slid down the blanket off her shoulder, causing her to shiver. "Kaoru."
"What Kenshin?" she asked, softly, her eyes were closed, and her head was against his chest.
"We are landing in an hour, let's get dressed." She groaned and wrapped her arms around Kenshin's chest.
"No," she whined, pushing fake tears into her eyes. She looked up at him with baby eyes and quivered her lower lip. He narrowed his eyes, kissed her on the forehead, and sat up with her against him. "I am not going to let you go, Kenshin… Battousai." He stood, put her small slim feet on his feet and walked to get their clothes. He picked up her bra and waved it. She made a grab for it. "Kenshin! Cut it out!" He kissed her on the lips, pulling the bra away from her. He gripped her wrist and slowly began to dress her. He secretly loved doing this, though he never understood why. "You are good, Battousai," she started, her voice turning cold. She shoved him back and tied the obi around her waist herself. She opened her mouth to say something, but found Battousai's lips on hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and dragged her body to his.
"Silence, Kaoru," he whispered into her ear, moving his eyes to the floor. She broke away from him and turned around.
Where is that paper? Did they leave it? How could I have forgotten about it? Where is it? Her eyes searched the ground rapidly. White paper, white paper. There! She swiped it off the ground and stuffed it down her bra. Battousai took no notice to this; he was only wondering how her butt would look in a thinner material kimono. Her face turned a pale pink and she rapidly turned around to face him. She glared at him and walked backwards to sit on the lounge chair. "What is wrong, Kaoru?" he whispered, slowly walking closer to her. She kept her glare on the opposite wall. She closed her eyes as his face appeared right in front of her own.
"Nothing, Battousai," she growled, her hands rolling into fists. She jerked her head away, opened her eyes, and glared at the curtain. "I have work to do… some of it involves you…"
"Really?" His eyes perked up, and they turned somewhat innocent and nice. "What numbed am I on the list?" Her glare softened and her face turned into a frown, but she didn't turn her head back at Battousai.
"Battousai is number 6 on my list, and Kenshin is 2 and 3 on my list. It is kind of weird really, they want your picture and autograph. On the other hand, maybe I should be worried." Her frown fell off her face, and it turned blank. Battousai sat next to her, hovering and reading her.
"What do you have to do to Battousai, Kaoru?" he whispered in her ear. His breath gave her goose bumps on her arms. She looked at his lips, then met his eyes.
"I don't know, all I know is I'm supposed to… I don't know… do something to you or with you or something… it was not specific at all. All it said was, 'Battousai.' Really odd." He nodded and turned down to look at the folded hands in his lap.
"I see…" His cheeks tinted lightly, and she noticed.
"Kenshin?" She started to ask why was he blushing, but was interrupted. Kuno appeared on the other side of the curtain and it appeared that it was now open.
"Lord Battousai, the plane is going to land now," said Kuno, bowing to him and Kaoru. He did not do it before, but now that he was in Japan, he had to. Battousai nodded and Kaoru bowed back from her sitting position. She stood up, suddenly, seeing someone she needed to talk to.
"Rin-kun?" she called, he ran right over from the shadows and bowed to her. She bowed back and smiled in greeting.
"Miss Kaoru-sama," he said. He was, quickly, pushed onto one side of the plane. She forced him to sit down while she stood.
Battousai and the other men watched as Rin took out a scroll and pencil and begin to write what she was saying. He nodded every few minutes. Then, when it seemed she was done, they stood together and bowed low to each other.
"Thank you Rin-kun," she said to the boy, patting him on the head. She pulled a bag filled with gold and jewels of sorts out of her sleeve. She took his hand and placed the bag in it.
He shook his head, "No, Miss Kaoru-sama," he said, and pushed the bag into her hands, she pushed them back. "I will not accept these!"
"You will, Rin-kun!" She shoved them pack into his hands.
"Miss Kaoru-sama," he said, softly, still having the shove war with her. "I am wealthy enough as it is. I don't need this."
"Rin-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Turn around," she ordered, moving with her fingers the way she wanted him to turn. He gulped turning away from her slowly; he noticed the others watching them. She pulled the back of his shirt.
"What-What are you doing? Miss Kaoru-sama?" She dropped the bag of gems and gold into his shirt. "AAH!" He jerked away from her, turning rapidly, and his hands trying to grab the little bag in his shirt. He blushed, stopped moving, and felt Kaoru's hand in his shirt. She slowly pulled it out, her long manicured nails gliding slowly up his back.
"Now will you accept these?" she asked, softly, waving the small bag in front of his reddened face. He nodded, took the bag into his hand, and bowed to her before running off. She rubbed her nose. Battousai appeared right behind her. She falsely yawned and stretched, hitting him in the face on purpose.
"Ow, bad Kaoru," he whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist. She rested her hands on his hands. Suddenly, the plane touched down on the runway and she fell against him. She groaned, lightly, and tried to push away from Battousai.
"Kenshin," she growled, unable to get away from his grip. She found herself on the back of Sanosuke all of the sudden. "Sanosuke? Why am I on your back?"
"You aren't supposed to walk around with no shoes on in a place so dirty, Miss Kaoru," said Sanosuke, sighing. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and laid her head on his shoulder.
"Someone is going to get me shoes right, Sano?" she asked, twirling a piece of his hair with her finger.
"Nope, sorry, Miss Kaoru," said Saitou, walking along side Sano as they walked down a large ramp. "But those were the orders given to us."
"Not to give me shoes?"
"Yep," said Kuno, nodding and walking past them with Kaoru's luggage.
"Be careful with that!" she ordered, jerking in Sano's hold. Sano glared at her. "Sorry," she whispered, putting her head against his shoulder, again. Aoshi walked slowly behind them, watching Kaoru mainly.
Kenshin had gone up to talk with the pilots, probably to yell at them for something. He did not want to know.
"Lord Battousai?" asked the pilot, standing up and bowing. The second pilot did the same. "What may I do for you?" Battousai sighed.
"Nothing really," he said, looking out the windows in thought. "But Miss Kaoru will be needed your flying skills in a while. I am not sure when, but other than that, you men are free to do as you please." They nodded and bowed again. "Your pay is where it always is." He left through the doorway, both men looked at each other.
"Here you go, Miss Kaoru," said Sano, putting her down in the limousine. She nodded and sighed, scooting over to the middle of the seat. "Kenshin should be here any minute." She nodded and looked up at him as he started to leave.
"Sanosuke?" she asked. He turned around and leaned in the car's doorway.
"Yeah, Miss Kaoru?" he asked, narrowing his eyes in amusement.
"Where is my motorcycle?" His head fell, then looked back up at her.
"It is going to be put in your room, Miss Kaoru," he said, smiling a little. He shut the door as he left.
"In my room?" She looked out the window as he shook hands with the driver. He was going to sit up front with him. Battousai opened the other door on the other side.
"Miss Kaoru," he said, greeting her with a head shake. We had sex! Do something other than that! Say something! Why isn't he saying anything! Argh!
"Kenshin, come here," she said, patting the area next to her. He sat next to her, keeping his hands to himself. Anger burned within her. "Well, Kenshin?" Touch me, kiss me, or poke me! Bother me! GOD DAMN IT!
"Yes, Miss Kaoru?" He turned his face to look at her. She was glaring at him, and she turned her head away. Stupid, stupid Battousai!
"Fine, be that way," she huffed, glaring out the window. The door opened, Kuno looked in.
"What do want?" she asked, not looking at him. I will get my revenge… tonight…
"Lord Battousai, Miss Kaoru-sama, are you two ready to leave?" he asked, sneaking odd glances at Miss Kaoru.
"Yes, Kuno," said Kenshin, looking blankly at him, and not noticing that Kuno was glancing at Kaoru. "You may leave now." Kuno bowed to them, shut the door, and went to the front with the driver. He motioned for them to go and walked to the back of the limousine. There was another limousine behind Kaoru and Kenshin's limousine. … or right now…
When the black vehicle started to pull away from the edge, Kaoru slapped Kenshin.
"What was that for Miss Kaoru?" he asked, calmly, closing his eyes and crossing his arms in front of him.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself? Battousai?" she spat at him, backing up, and walking steadily as she did so. She slowly took out the camera, which she had grabbed out of one her bags, before they had loaded them in the trunk. He did not answer. "Stay still," she said, angling the camera, and kneeling on the ground about five feet away from him. He had no idea what she was doing.
'What the hell is she doing?' he asked himself. Nevertheless, he did not fell endangered.
"One… two… three…" Her flash went off, she smiled, and he opened his eyes. She was smiling like a maniac.
"What?" he asked, dumbly, scratching the back of his head, and watching a piece of dust land on his nose.
"PERFECT!" she shouted, taking five pictures of the same view. She motioned frantically, and her smile grew. He sighed, narrowing his eyes, dully, and titling his head to the side. He let his hands fall to his sides as if dead. "Two… three…" She took five more pictures. "Again!" He shook his head and waved his arms in front of him like a photophobic person. Five shots of that and she was done… for now…(Dark laughter.) "That will be all for now, Kenshin." She slipped the camera into her sleeve and jumped to sit on his lap. "Kenshin is number two and three on my list," she whispered into his ear, and licked it softly. He closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her waist, and smiled. When he opened them again, she gasped. They were flashing with yellow anger again.
"Here, Miss Kaoru," he said to her, softly, trying not to frighten or, more so, anger her. "You must call me Battousai."
"I am not calling you Battousai-sama," she ordered, narrowing her eyes at him. "Understood. I'll call you Battousai, when you have company, but behind closed doors…" She leaned into his ear again, letting her breath tarnish his neck's skin. "Kenshin is all mine." She placed her lips on his and let her lids fall half way. Do it, now… He pushed against her lips, loving her and showing it only at a minor extent compared to the plane ride. She wrapped her arms around his neck tighter, and placed her legs on the each side of his body. He placed his hand on his leg, moving it up slowly, and ruining the proper way the female kimono was supposed to be. Hmm… mine… She gasped as he felt what he had grabbed. She, immediately, smashed her tongue through his lips and fought with his. She ruined his hair with his hands, breathing heavily. "Battousai." Mine… mine… mine…
"SANO!" shouted Kuno, jumping up and down his seat like a little kid awaiting a toy. "LOOK! LOOK! I THINK THEY ARE AT IT! AGAIN!" Rin sunk back in his seat as he watched Aoshi punch him the back of his head, and Sano start yelling at him over the cell-phone.
"KUNO!" he shouted on the other side of the line, the driver looked up surprised. "Kuno, silence yourself before Lord Battousai cuts your eyes and tongue out… or, worse yet, Miss Kaoru castrates you!" He began to laugh loudly and like a crazy maniac. He knew this would severally freak out Kuno. When he stopped, he did not make another sound. The driver was now shivering where he sat.
"Sanosuke-sama?" asked Kuno, lightly on the other side of the line in the other limousine. His smirk grew. "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN WHEN I AM AROUND!"
Sanosuke ended the call. "Stupid Kuno," he muttered and turned to glare out the window. The driver's eye twitched.
"No kidding, sir," he said, quietly, shutting his mouth when Sanosuke turned to grin at him. Sano nodded.
"Stupid Sano-sama," muttered Kuno, glaring at the phone and trying to crush it with his mind. Aoshi sighed, and noticed that the other henchmen did the same. He smiled slightly and turned his attention to the overly silent Rin-kun. Rin was younger than he was, but he had been loyal to Battousai longer than he had. Aoshi was 25 and had been loyal to Battousai for one year. Rin was 18, had been loyal to Battousai for five years. Kuno was 20 and had been loyal to Battousai for four years.
"Aoshi-san," he said, interrupting his brief thoughts. His eyes became unglazed as he focused on Rin-san.
"Sorry, Rin-san," he whispered, looking away and out the window.
Sanosuke was 26 and had been loyal to Battousai since he first started this. In addition, when the Battousai had started this was when he was fifteen and Sanosuke was sixteen. Aoshi scratched the top of his nose and then placed it on his chin thought. Battousai was 25 too, and Sanosuke was 26. How old was Miss Kaoru? When did she become loyal to him? Did she become loyal to him? Or, was she just messing around with his head? Wish I could get inside his head. Maybe… I can.
Aoshi looked up, and leaned over to Kuno. "Kuno," he whispered, eyeing the people around him, and finally resting it on Kuno's glare. "How old is Miss Kaoru?"
Kuno looked taken aback for a moment, then turned to face the front view window. When he turned back, he grabbed Aoshi roughly, and cupped his hand around his mouth.
"She is 24 now, she had her birthday sometime during the year, I do so believe… she has her birthday in October," he whispered, and let Aoshi go, turning back to the front window. He was sitting beside the driver.
"Thanks," whispered Aoshi, sitting back down and dusting himself off as if nothing happened. The others around him raised their eyebrows in question. He did not answer them; he looked blankly at the wall opposite him. So… Miss Kaoru is younger than the Battousai and me, he thought. His face showed nothing of what he was thinking. He blinked and placed a piece of gum in his mouth. Then he passed it around for the others. Like hungry wolves to fresh meat. She can have a place in my future for this -he looked around at the people, knowing they would most likely be slaughtered later in life- clan, if one could call it that. Battousai, probably, thinks this as a gang that people fear, but no. No one really feared this type of gang; they did not do anything that was to be feared. They rarely killed any one, and mainly embezzled money. They did have good street fights, credited Aoshi, narrowing his eyes slightly. They had street fights to show that they were still around and deserved respect. Aoshi wondered how Miss Kaoru got mixed up in all of this. "Why?" he muttered, softly, and hoping that no one had caught it.
Rin took out the list from his sleeve, pushing the bag in it further back. The scroll rolled itself open, gliding down the narrow isle of the black limousine. One of Battousai's henchman picked the end up to read it. Most of the items on the list were nonsense, and the scroll was 15 feet long.
"What is this list, Rin-san?" he asked, pulling more of the paper from Rin, who was trying to get it back. The others started to read it too as it lifted into the air by the two people pulling it.
"Ameuri-san!" shouted Rin, placing his hand on the sword that was tied to his waist. "Drop the scroll and give it back to me. Now!" His narrowed in malice, he could already see the blood dripping off his sword. Ameuri could sense this and rolled up the scroll, throwing it back to Rin. He bowed his head slightly forward.
"Sorry, Rin-san," he said, sitting in his chair as quietly as possible. Rin sighed, opened the scroll again and began to read what he had written.
"Hmm…"
Aoshi watched silently from his seat, interesting… This young man had the respect of such older men. Aoshi looked at the one called Ameuri. He was going to be the first one he would kill tonight.
"Kaoru-san?"
"Nani?"
"Why do you need those pictures of me?"
Kaoru looked up at the half-naked man still lying down on the moist leather seats of the limousine. She narrowed her eyes with dullness at his stupidity. Pictures for number two on my list, dumb ass!
She breathed out calmly. "Kenshin-san, I told you, you are number two and three on my list."
"Well," he said, his voice was turning whiny. "Why aren't I first on your list!" She rolled her eyes and threw his haori at him.
"I don't arrange the list Kenshin-san!" He nodded, slipped on his shirt and not looking at her. "I'll be needing to have you sign them later, before I auction them off." He nodded and started to laugh.
"Wow," he said, his voice cracking slightly. "Don't I feel famous!"
"Indeed," she said, straightening her kimono out as she was kneeling in a sitting position. "Who in the world would want a samurai's picture anyway?" He rolled his eyes, dramatically, and smiled.
"Well, it could be a picture that they want to give to the authorities or to assassins to kill me." Her eye fidgeted once.
"Shut up, Kenshin-san," she said, rolling her eyes and sitting beside him. Something began to ring. "What the?" She looked at the corded telephone in his hand. There is a telephone in a limousine. What else, what else…
"Great. No, no, you could open up the door now," he said, calmly. He narrowed his eyes. "And if you ever mention that again, I will have Kaoru castrate you." She blushed slightly at the thought of castrating someone… again. The door opened, and a masculine appeared to help her out. She could see who it was, because the sun was blinding her. She took the hand and was immediately on the back of Sanosuke. She growled, and wrapped her arms around his neck, again.
"Miss Kaoru-chan," he greeted her with a nod of his head. He turned around and bowed to Battousai as he stepped out into the sunlight.
Haori half coat. Kaoru's thoughts are the only ones that will be italic. Any other thoughts people will not be italic. Battousai is like a bad and darker side of Kenshin. Kaoru fell in love with Kenshin, not Battousai, so that is why she keeps calling Battousai/Kenshin: Kenshin. If she is mad or angry with Kenshin, she will call him: Battousai. Aoshi is super hot/handsome/sexy/etc. This story does not follow the series guidelines. It won't. Chan used for children, young women, and close friends. Sama used for superiors. Dono used for higher-ranked or highly respected figures. San used among equals or near equals. Sensei used for teachers, masters, respected entertainers, politicians. Tono Lord (tono-sama). Bokutō a wooden practice sword. Onna woman. Honto really. Hai yes. Iie no. Nani what. Kami god. Yukata summer kimono, bathrobe. Words will be used for later, and later words will be added. Hope you enjoy what you have read and will read if you continue. Have a nice day. I am in the middle of typing chapter three by the time I post this.
I don't want "flames". No "flames" please.
