The Universal Language - A Rurouni Kenshin Fanfiction Snippet

By Rikkitsune

I have discovered how to make the line breaks work! Hurrah! Unfortunately, it requires a bit of wrangling with the HTML mode, which isn't the most fun in the world.

This (SHORT!) piece is actually part of a gift!fic I'm working on for Via x Infinito, lovely girl that she is. It still has a fair way to go before it's finished (it's about 7 pages so far), but the finished product with be basically PWP and therefore completely unsuitable for posting here. If you're interested in following the fic, check my author's profile from time to time; I will make sure to post a link to it for you.

The summary is basically this: Kaoru, believing herself to be alone, gets tipsy and lets her hair down in her apartment on a Friday night. What she doesn't know is, her attractive red-headed neighbour has been watching her, and things quickly take a turn for the risque. Ths snippet picks up where simple dancing morphs into a 2 way striptease. Enjoy!

As her blood began to heat, Kaoru danced faster, losing herself in the reverberating thrum of the bass in her chest cavity. She turned slowly, hips rolling, until her back faced the window. Taking her time, she brought her hands back and unclasped her bra, letting the black lace fall away completely.

Kenshin pressed a little closer to the window. Oh. My. God. She just took off her bra.

With a wicked smile, Kaoru covered her breasts with her hands as she turned to face her captivated neighbour. She let her hips swing back and forth, making her stomach muscles clench and ripple. She raised an eyebrow at the redhead, daring him to make the next move. If he wanted to see more, he was going to have to play by her rules.

Kenshin, dry mouthed, recognised the challenge for what it was. So, the little minx wanted a game of striptease huh? Well, she'd been so generous so far, playing along couldn't hurt. Could it? He glanced downwards wryly at the beginnings of a tent in his pants. Well… maybe it could.

Holding up one finger, give me a minute, Kenshin turned away from the window and headed towards his stereo. With a small smile, he put on his favourite dance CD and turned the volume up as loud as he could without bringing down the wrath of the biker living next door.

Returning to the window, Kenshin flashed his neighbour a cocky grin before beginning to move in time to the thumping bassline.

Across the way, Kaoru could feel her temperature begin to rise even further. Ye Gods, that man could move. She watched, feeling a bit breathless, as he slipped one side of his shirt off his shoulder. She had seen him bare-chested before, yes, but this time, he was taking his shirt off for her. Just like he had probably seen her in her dressing gown before, but this time, she was stripping for his eyes alone.

Kenshin pulled his shirt off and tossed it over his shoulder, smoothing his palms down over his well-muscled abdomen. He watched with satisfaction as she observed him with unconcealed excitement. He hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his jeans and cocked his head to the side, licking his lips. It was her turn now.

Feeling a sudden prickling of nerves, Kaoru knew that she required more Dutch courage. She smiled impishly and turned to the side, dropping her hands slowly so that he could see her naked chest side on. Reaching for the bottle on the lamp table, she took a long swig, relishing the fiery taste and the confidence it gave her. Quickly, before she could lose her nerve, she unzipped the side of her skirt.

Reaching up, she pulled her hair clip out, letting her long black hair tumble down her back. Turning back to the window, she averted her eyes while she massaged her scalp, rubbing away the headache that having her hair up always caused. As a really good dance track started, Kaoru lifted her arms above her head, twisting her wrists sensuously to draw his attention upward. Then, she started shaking her hips, the sharp movements causing her skirt to fall to the floor in a crumpled heap, exposing her black lace underwear. Lowering her arms once more, Kaoru let them come to rest on her hips and sent her redheaded neighbour a look that plainly said now you.
