Kaoru closed the door behind her, finding herself inside the white room once again. The chest lay before her, beautiful and plain.

She moved forward and touched it gently, feeling the smooth wood. To stay with Kenshin forever. It was a beautiful yet terrifying thought.

To be unable to return to her home…

But if she were to go back to the sea she would most likely be alone for the rest of her life, content maybe but lonely all the same.

It was a horrible thought.

But then to live on land all her life…would she forget who she was?

Kaoru shook her head and squeezed her eyes shut. No. That couldn't happen…right?

It could...

Her large blue eyes were fixed on the elegant chest, curiosity and doubt roaring through her.

With a great amount of self-control she wrenched her gaze from the box and fled the room, banging the door shut behind her.

"Kaoru…" Kenshin murmured her name in her ear, wrapping his arms around her from behind. To be honest, he was amazed that the young mermaid still had yet to open the chest. He had caught a glimpse of her pacing back and forth in front of the room (and once in a while venturing inside) but she had not opened the box.

And this had held out for two whole weeks so far, but as each day passed Kaoru spent more and more time outside that room.

Kaoru turned her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips. "Kenshin." She said his name gently, quietly.

He sighed and rested his chin on her shoulder, nuzzling her neck. She breathed out slowly, leaning back into him.

"What have you been thinking?" he asked her in a hushed tone, as if he was scared she might flee if he spoke any louder.

Indeed it did seem like that. It was surprising how Kaoru relaxed around him, considering how cold she used to be. Of course she wasn't very affectionate, Kenshin was always the one to initiate things, but all the same…it was a change.

"I've been thinking…about you…me…us…" she trailed off thoughtfully.

Kenshin smiled and kissed her cheek. He didn't bother asking her to elaborate, he knew she wouldn't. Kaoru always liked to keep her thoughts to herself, only sharing them when it deemed necessary.

He tilted his head slightly and kissed her, gently at first but than more heated.

Kaoru's eyes slipped closed, her long lashes curling up against her flushed cheeks. Carefully she turned around so that she was facing her lover without breaking contact with him.

(My very intense lime kind of starts here…I guess…read on if you wish…)

Kenshin brushed a hand through her thick black hair, enjoying the silky feeling between his fingers. Carefully he lowered her on the bed, leaning over her.

Kaoru looked up at him, her expression serious and her eyes searching his. She reached up and tugged gently at his hair band, releasing long red strands from their hold.

He bent down and their lips met once again, moving against each other. People said that when you kissed the one you loved that the world stops moving…that you stop feeling…

As a low moan escaped Kaoru's swollen lips she noted on how that untrue that was. If anything she was more aware than ever when Kenshin's mouth was pressed against hers. She could feel his body pressed closely to hers, the way his long mane of hair tickled her cheeks, the soft fabric of the sheets against her legs and back…

He nipped playfully at her neck, sucking gently and forcing a soft groan from the one beneath him.

A hand slid into her dress feeling the smooth skin. Kaoru tightened her grip on Kenshin's hair, tensing slightly.

"Relax." Kenshin soothed her, stroking her face gently.

Kaoru nodded and closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation running through her as Kenshin pressed hot kisses down her neck. With fumbling fingers he unbuttoned her dress slowly, taking in the sight of her exposed skin.

Kaoru breathed in quickly, slipping Kenshin's shirt off of him.

He moved his hands across her body, kissing across her chest. She held him to her as she moaned and arched up against him.

Their lips collided for a long moment, tongues working furiously as they tried to get closer, closer…

"I love…you…" Kenshin breathed, rubbing against her.

Kaoru tilted her head back. "Love…" she mewled and gasped out the word, her lips trembling. "Love." She repeated herself, shivering as her lover removed the last piece of clothing on her.

He smiled and pulled down his pants. Their eyes locked, passionate and filled with desire. "Are you ready?"

She bit her lip and nodded quickly, she wanted this.

And in one swift movement he had penetrated her.

"Love."

Kaoru awoke that following morning with a strange glow inside of her. She turned onto her side, facing the sleeping man beside her.

She reached out and touched his face gently, smiling at how much younger he seemed in his sleep.

Carefully, she slid out of bed doing her best not to wake Kenshin. She looked down at herself and smiled again. She felt happy…content…and a little guilty.

As a shiver swept through her she made her way to the wardrobe, in search of a robe. Immediately she found one, a light fluffy robe made to keep you warm.

She wrapped it around her body, enjoying the feeling of it against her bare skin. "Love." She murmured to herself, remembering how she had whispered that so passionately last night.

As she gazed at her beloved sleeping soundly a strange feeling swept over her. Her head swam and her knees buckled. She fell to the floor, her face pale and her eyes narrowed in discomfort.

Her stomach flipped dizzyingly as sweat beaded down her forehead.

What…

Kaoru clapped a hand over her mouth as her body convulsed, sending her into an unpleasant shuddering.

Letting her instincts take over she raced into the private bathroom, keeling over by the toilet. Her body shook violently as she hurled into the basin, her hair falling forward as she gripped the rims.

Is this?

She gagged and felt the bile rising up her throat, forcing her to hurl into the toilet once more.

As she spat and coughed she numbly felt someone holding her hair back and rubbing her neck soothingly.

Joh: Yeah that kind of sucked. I know you all wanted a lemon really bad but I really didn't want to have to raise the rating for this…so I gave you an intense lime. This was extremely short but I just wanted to get this posted since I'll be going away in 4 days to camp. I'm really sorry about this.

Due to my going away I will not be able to update for a month, I will however continue to write in a notebook while I am away and thus update as soon as I return!

Joh: Okay guys sorry about this…Another note you should know…I was planning on wrapping this up in about 3 or 4 chapters but now it may actually take longer…
