The two assassins
Chapter 19: somewhere in the Caribbean:
"Where are you?" asked Misao from the other side of the phone.
"I'm already waiting for Ken at the airport, why?" asked Kaoru puzzled
"Great, don't move from the hangar, he'll be there in any minute, and most important of all, DO NOT CALL HIM" said Misao firmly.
"Now that I remember I'm the older one you know?" said Kaoru and laughed, it also made her sister grin.
"Yes I know, you look like an old woman" said Misao between giggles "Well I have to leave you, so take care sis and don't worry you'll be fine" with that Misao ended her conversation, it was going to be difficult to part sides again, when they had become so close.
Kaoru closed her eyes and sighed, together they were going to start a new life, a new page in her diary; were no one was going to be able to corrupt their peaceful dreams. She heard a loud thud, and some keys making noise with the rhythm of ones pace. Kenshin was already there, she stood up and fixed her beautiful dress, she looked dashing to him, she had always been. They walked slowly towards one other, her arms landed softly above his shoulders and took hold of the nape of his neck, he buried his head on the crook of hers and held each other for what it seemed like an eternity. They got separated, Kenshin cupped her face with both of his hands and brought her closer to kiss her tenderly in the lips, Kaoru responded with the same love and passion she had just received.
"I've been waiting for you?" she managed to say, her eyes were still lightly closed.
"I know, I'm sorry I couldn't make it earlier" he said and hugged her. Kaoru found comfort and protection in his strong chest.
"Were are we going?" asked Kaoru all of a sudden, her big blue eyes looked at him quizzically which were pleading for an answer "what's in store for us?"
"I don't know" Kenshin said, his words were smooth and calm "But I promise were going to be okay, that I promise, as for where we're going I've chosen the Caribbean" whispered kenshin into her ear. Her mouth dropped and her eyes couldn't be more open. She loved the sea.
"Really?" asked Kaoru in astonishment "are we going to live in the Caribbean?"
"Yes, and were going to get marry there too" he said a sexy smile appeared on his face "but if we don't hurry we will be late, and I have a surprise for you"
"Misao you should hurry" called Aoshi in his if –you-don't- hurry- we're- going –to- be late again tone.
"I know, I know, it just that I cannot find one of my shoes, beside it's not like if the rooster head is going to be there in time" replied Misao. Aoshi just frowned and nodded, she was right.
"I told you" said Megumi with arms crossed "You have that fame of never be in time not even on time" she smacked his head lightly.
"Hey it's not my fault, it's just that sometimes I can't remember about the things I have to do" said Sanosuke while rubbing his head.
"Kenshin asked for this favor, and we're going to do it, we got to be trought the whole procedure otherwise…" said megumi who looked menacingly to her husband.
"hey don't look at me, last time was your fault, you mixed the whole things up" replied Sanosuke who held his hands up in defense.
"you better watch your manners, we are not in the place to discuss" said megumi and flipped her hair back.
"Hey! You started it all" replied Sano.
"Look here they come" Megumi stood up and waited till they reached their table. They were going to have a little meeting with the Shinomori´s
"I'm sorry we're late, but we had some… technical problems" said Misao and glanced at Aoshi, he just nodded, how typical of him.
"Let's get straight to the point" said Sano "What are we going to do with Keshin?"
"I already told you my idea" said Megumi
"that is?" asked Misao, she rested her head on her hands.
"Well he wants us to go, SHE doesn't know we're going to be there for the… well you know" Megumi made a short pause and then continued "I say, let's send that thing on airplane, we take a flight ourselves to the port and then lets head to there" said megumi as it was the easiest thing in the world.
"Don't you think it's going to be difficult to get a flight within the next two days, to carry that thing to the other side, I mean it has to fly trough some states" asked Misao, Aoshi just glanced at them occasionally "And I don't think I can make that trip on my actual estate" she rubbed her belly gently. There was a long pause there till Aoshi talked.
"I know, but you have to make it for her" a man of few words, but yet he was so right.
"Do you know were they are now?" asked Sanosuke.
"They must be heading to the island, if I'm not wrong they have 2 hours of flight by now, it's not that far" answered Misao.
"yes, in plane, but you're planning to navigate" said Sanosuke and laughed, the only one who did. Megumi threw him a dirty look.
"I don't know what you guys think, but that was what he wanted, and I'm planning to do it" Misao padded her back.
"Let's do it then"
"Are you tired?" asked Kaoru, who had hugged him from the back. Kenshin looked so dammed sexy with his pilot headphones and piloting their jet.
"Just a bit thirsty" he said huskily, then smirked.
"Thirsty Mr.? you should find a way to refresh yourself" Kaoru bit gently his earlobe.
"I better show you a way to refresh us both" Kenshin growled. With one quick movement he pulled her to his lap, their faces just inches away.
"Don't you need your hands to fly this stuff" she arched a brow
"you're certainly right, but don't forget I can put the autopilot, leaving my hands free" Kenshin nibbled her lower lip "but, I'm afraid we're almost there, so I will show you later" Kaoru got on her feet and Kenshin spanked her softly "You better buckle up, we'll land in any minute" she did as she was told.
"Is there where we're going to live?" she was astonished, it was a beautiful island with what seemed like an hotel in the middle of it, next to that island was a bigger one which was the town; just a few minutes a way from theirs, and lots of islets surrounded both of the places.
"you like it?" asked Kenshin, he turned his head to see her.
"It looks beautiful" the view was breathtaking "Is that a landing strip?"
"Yes it is a landing strip on our island, it's not like the one that we have back home, but" he was interrupted by Kaoru.
"no, no, it's beautiful, Kenhsin the place looks like a hotel, it's bigger than our house in Miami, together" Kaoru grabbed his hand a gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Are you ready to land, or will you prefer to wait" Kenshin asked her, he knew that once they landed, they had to forget their lives and let it go, for they were going to commence a new one.
"Please" Kaoru said and closed her eyes..
"okay" he kissed her hand and got ready to land.
It was a beautiful day, a perfect flight and a perfect landing. They went out of the jet, first Kenshin and then Kaoru; he offered her help and grabbed her by the arm. There were palm trees all over the place, they walked trough a stone path, it was the perfect place, the ocean was just a few meters away from them. They reached the center of the huge island after a few minutes, there was a pool in front of the enormous house, fountains, extensive gardens and all types of exotic plants: Kaoru was stupefied.
"you like it?" Kenshin was afraid that she might not like the place.
"Are you kidding?" Kaoru whirled around to see him "I totally love it" she threw herself into Kenshin strong arms. "I love it, I love it, I love it" she kept whispering those words to Kenshin he hugged her even tighter.
"I'm glad you do, wanna go inside?" he asked coyly.
"Yes, I want to see it all, everyday it's going to seem like if we're in vacations" she bit her lower lip.
"Well missy, let's go inside then" he grabbed her and carried her bridal style inside the house. It looked like an exotic hotel in Africa or something, everything was perfect there was not a single thing she disliked. He gave her a small tour and discovered that the house was even bigger than they had thought. Finally they found their bedroom. There was a four poster in the center of the room, more plants on the corners, a window in front of the bed were the ocean could be observed, fans that simulated palm leaves, stone statues and wooden ones, the bathroom door to the left, and paintings of the sea and animals. Kaoru mouth dropped.
Kaoru grabbed his hand and he pulled her to his chest once again. It was officially the beginning of their new life.
Next day…
"Good morning sleepyhead" Kaoru rolled on the bed and plastered a feathery kiss on Kenshin's white nose. Maybe for the first time in the last years, they had been able to sleep with tranquility knowing that no one was going to disturb their peace. Kenshin batted his eyelashes ever slowly, his violet eyes were adjusting to the light that had slipped trough the curtains and had illuminated the room. Kaoru's chin rested on Kenshin's abdomen, her eyes shinning brightly and her hair cascading over her shoulders, just like she liked to wear it now, her usual ponytail had disappeared when she had moved to the states. Kenshin placed his arms behind of his head and smiled at her sweetly; Kaoru managed to move slowly and graciously upwards were he caught her lips.
They got dressed and had breakfast, they had a huge island to do as they pleased, but Kaoru insisted she wanted to go to the town. It was not like a city, but people were friendly and lots of stores were next to the road near the beach. It was a sunny day, but the marine breeze was always blowing on the pacific place. There was no other thing that Kaoru liked the most but the sea, besides Kenshin of course.
Kaoru and Kenshin were walking donw the street, when a boy came running on the opposite direction they were walking, they boy bumped with Kaoru and she almost crashed on the ground but Kenshin with his keen reflexes had grabbed her before she did. They boy stopped in his tracks and stared at her with eyes wide open, he was about to open his mouth but she talked before he could.
