Konnichiwa! ^_^
Oh my! I really have to thank you guys for reviewing, and so fast! I almost got overwhelmed!
Domo arigato minna-san, Honto ni!
So I tried to update faster, and it resulted in today. Not quite sure when I will get the chance to do so next time, although I promise to try and keep it up!
Oh and for all you Saito lovers, I'm sorry for keeping his visit annoyingly short! ^_~*
Anyway I'm not gonna keep you waiting, so on with it!
I DONT OWN ANYONE OF THE RUROUNI KENSHIN CHARACTERS!
Mine!
Kaoru looked at him before entering the storage house. She knew they had to talk but she wasn't ready for it. She hated herself for what she had done to him. She had pushed him, and since that night he hadn't even touched her. That was a week ago. Shame and guilt washed over her as the tears ran down her face. She closed the door and picked up a clay pot, to put in the shelf. The second she let it go she slumped down on the floor in the middle of the room and just sat there, staring at the window. Minutes went by and she could smell Kenshins cooking.
She got on her feet and walked towards the dojo. Seven days of almost complete silence between them was taking its toll on her, and she just wanted him to hold her. She slowly slid the door open and walked in. Kenshin gave her one of his smiles.
"Ah Kaoru, I was just going to call for you. Dinner is ready."
She sat down.
"Arigato, Anata."
He served them both and sat down. They ate in silence, and the sound of falling rain was heard from the outside. It had been raining for three days straight, and some places in town were getting flooded. The dojo though seemed like it was going to be fine though. After a moment she excused herself and went back to the storage room.
He watched her back disappear behind the closed door and sighed heavily. She was hurt. He knew it. Even though her intentions had been good, he just couldn't let him out. He didn't trust him. If the battousai was merciless in battle, then what would he do to her? He snatched her plate from the table and walked over to do the dishes.
'There's really just one way to find out.'
He shook his head. No. He wouldn't allow it. The storage door opened again and she walked swiftly towards the bedroom. After standing there, just staring at the grey cloudy sky, he decided that they at least had to talk. Without him making as much as a sound he moved towards her. When he slid the shoji open, she turned around and looked at him.
"Kenshin! You scared me…" she mumbled.
"Gomen nasai Kaoru. This one didn't mean to do so."
She waved her hand at him and sent him a small smile.
"It's fine! I was just looking for my ind…"
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into an embrace. She closed her eyes and inhaled his masculine scent. Kenshin kissed her forehead lightly. To him, she was so intoxicating… that once in his system, she could easily drive him into a complete overdrive. He gently caressed her cheek.
"Onegai Kaoru. This one is sorry. I never meant to hurt you..."
She covered his hand with her own, making him look her in the eyes. Her hair was tangled and her blue pools were a mirror of what he had felt since that day.
"What are you talking about? I was the one pushing you. I'm the one who should be saying that."
"Maybe, ano Kaoru… I know I hurt you, but what you don't know is how…"
He forced himself to look away as he quietly continued:
"How much I enjoyed it until...well I enjoyed it."
"Oh Kenshin… so you're not mad? " she murmured with a longing look in her eyes.
He looked at her. Her hair was messy, her eyes were red from crying; she had rosy lips and blushing cheeks, and in that moment Kaoru looked so irresistible to him that he leaned in and kissed her. She smiled into the kiss and he pulled her small body towards his chest, making her giggle in surprise.
"Do I look mad koishii?"
She happily shook her head. Then she kissed him, with more fire then before. Kenshins hand tugged at her obi, causing her yukata to come apart as it loosened. He pulled it off her shoulders and it cascaded down her body like a flowing waterfall until it hit the floor. Then he carefully undid her bindings. Kaoru slowly took care of the rest for him, and with one last movement she let her hair out of her pony tail, letting it drape her shoulders and her breasts.
"You're so beautiful anata…" he whispered breathlessly as he captured her lips with his own.
She could see his arousal through his hakamas, and his ragged breath told her how much he really wanted her. That only made her want him more, and in a swift movement she loosened his pants and released him from his yukata as well. He lifted her into his arms and carefully put her down on the futon. Then slowly he lowered his head and tasted her nipples. She moaned his name and let her fingers get entangled in his hair. One after another he nibbled them and bit them until she arched her back at him.
"So impatient Kaoru…" he chuckled lightly and continued.
"Kenshin….aaahh..!" she reached out for him and stroked him gently through the thin fabric. He groaned in surprise and lay down beside her, letting her taking the lead for once. He took of his pants and smiled at the feeling of freedom. Carefully she grabbed him and started stroking her hand up and down. Kenshin let his head fall back, and his breathing became harder.
"Kaoru..!"
She smiled and bent down, taking him into his mouth. As soon as he felt the moisture of her mouth around his shaft, his head snapped up. He almost came at the pure sight of her. Never had she looked as incredibly sexy as she did right then and there. With her head coming up and down on him he had to use every ounce of self-control he had left in his body, to not pin her to the floor and take her. Her own hand found its way to her wet core as she pushed a finger inside of herself, causing her to moan deep in the back of her throat and close her eyes. Her thumb caressed her tiny bud and she panted heavily, causing a slight sweat to break through on her forehead.
He whined and she looked up on him. Then she stopped.
"Kaoru, don't stop…Onegai…"
She crawled up on him and gave him a deep, loving kiss that fuelled the fire in his veins. Then she raised her hips a bit and sheathed him perfectly. His breath hitched as he felt himself deep inside of her, and with a steady grip on her hips he slowly began grinding her hips against his own, making them both moan in pleasure.
Kaoru grabbed on to his shoulders and began to move on her own. She felt a pressure building up inside of her, and kami knows that she really needed it right now, needed him. She deliberately tried to slow down, to make it last longer for them. However Kenshin wanted her, quite desperately. He gritted his teeth and flipped them both, so that she landed on her back. In the process he grabbed her wrists and pushed them down on the futon.
"Kaoru…" he panted.
"Kaoru, look at me!"
She opened her eyes and obeyed. He pushed himself inside of her, and worked up a pace that went faster and faster. After just a few seconds Kaorus world started to spin and she shuddered lightly.
"Koi…please, come..!" he whispered in a dark hoarse voice next to her ear.
The friction from him rubbing against her was too much and suddenly she felt her body spiral out of control. She screamed his name, and threw her head back. As she did, he forced her back, and slammed his lips onto hers. Coming back for air he felt himself release deep inside of her and with a deep groan he opened his eyes and looked straight into hers. She kissed him and brushed a strand of red hair away from his face. His eyes held a swirl of ember in them and he knew that he nearly had let him out. She tapped him lightly on the nose and giggled.
"Ne, anata, are we okay now…?"
He laughed at her, and pulled her into his arms.
"Hai. More than so."
He pulled the covers up over them and snuggled closer to her. After a while he felt Kaoru fall asleep beside him, and as he laid there listening to the rain he thought about what nearly had happened. He had felt the raw passion boil in his chest, and the utter need for her and her alone. He wanted more, and he didn't want to stop. If he hadn't decided to lose it when he did, he knew that Battousai would have emerged. Was it really a bad thing..? Kenshin sighed deeply and looked at her. Maybe not. Or..?
Kaoru smiled widely as she saw him enter the courtyard. Carrying his usual bucket of tofu he was on his way to the kitchen to make dinner. A sudden pain filled her head as Yahiko smashed his bokken in to her head.
"Oi Busu! At least pretend that we're training here, ne? I'm doing all the work you know!"
She snarled, stroking her sore head with her hand.
"Yahiko! That was uncalled for!"
"Then stop your daydreaming! 'Oooh Keeeeenshiiiiiin'!" he mimicked and Kaoru felt the nerve in her forehead pulsate in pure anger. In rage she pulled her bokken up and attacked, when her attack was over, she immediately started a new one. Yahiko stumbled backwards and finally tripped on the edge of the tatami, landing himself into the cleaning bucket, that Kenshin had used earlier the same morning when he was scrubbing the floors. He felt himself get soaking wet and quickly stood up to examine the damage.
Kaoru leaned over her bokken and laughed.
"Neee, Yahiko-chaaan, did you wet yourself…?!"
Yahiko fumed as he looked up at her.
"Not okay busu! You attacked me!"
"So did you..!"
"Yeah, but…"
"But what? Haul yourself from the floor and change into a dry set of clothes; we are done for the day."
He glared at her and stomped away from her, putting the bokken back in place. When he left her she could hear Sanosuke enter.
"Oi! What did you do? Wet yourself?! That's not so very manly!"
"Urusei! Baka!" Yahiko yelled.
Kaoru snickered and cleaned up after her and Yahiko, and then she moved over to Kenshin in the kitchen. He waited for her behind the shoji, and as soon as she entered the room, he snuck his arms around her in a passionate embrace. She giggled and turned around, giving him a light kiss on the cheek.
"Kenshin…"
"This one, missed you since last night…" he smiled sheepishly.
"What's for dinner?"
"Tofu."
"Sounds better than my cooking!" Kaoru stated.
"What you lack in the kitchen koibito, you certainly make up for in other places…" He whispered so low, that only she could hear him. She held her breath and felt the tension build up between her legs. His hands graced the outlines of her breasts before letting her go. Kaoru shot him a questioning look, but then she realised why he let go as Yahiko walked in to the kitchen.
"I changed my clothes; But if we're done here busuuuu, I'm going to the akabeko. I have work to do." He glared at her as he leaned against the wall.
"Maa, maa Yahiko. I saw what you did. This one finds it to be your own fault." Kenshin laughed. Yahiko clenched his fists and sweat dropped.
"Nan de?! How could it be my fault?"
"Hitting the teacher when she's not looking..?" Kaoru added quite amused.
"Hmpf."
"I'm sleeping over, and I was told to tell you that Sano stays in town tonight. That baka rooster head is probably going to be a free…"
*Whack*
"What were you saying, Yahiko-chaaan? I don't freeload. I'm helping the fox lady restore the doctors stock, and then I'm going home to my place."
"Surprised, to know you still have it…" Yahiko mumbled holding his head as the two of them walked out the doors.
"What was that?!" Yahiko sighed loudly.
"Let's just go…" their voices died down before disappearing completely.
Kaoru turned to her husband and smiled sweetly. He looked into her eyes and smiled back.
"Let me prepare dinner…"
"Hai, I'll go change and we can st…"
She felt him tense up, and he quickly moved himself in front of her, one hand on his sakabatou and the other protectively shielding her features.
"Kenshin..?"
He stepped on to the porch in the cold evening air, glaring at the doors.
"Show yourself."
"My, my Himura. No need to go all out on me."
Kenshin felt his body relax, and changed his stance.
"Saito. What business do you have here? You are most unwelcome, that you are."
He snickered and narrowed his eyes at him.
"Don't worry, you know that if I wanted your life I would have it by now. However…"
In one swift move he quickly landed himself behind Kaoru. Kenshins eyes widened at the unexpected movement.
"I doubt that you'd be able to catch me either way!"
He grabbed her and pushed her lightly against the dojo wall. She let out a small noise as she stumbled backwards, causing Kenshin to seethe with rage, instantly grabbing his sakabatou and unsheathing it.
"Saito!"
He laughed at Kenshin, turning around to leave.
"I'm just having some fun..! Either way, the chief would like you to come over as soon as you have some free time over. Sorry for interrupting dinner or whatever you call that smell!" He slammed the doors closed behind him, laughing as he walked away. Beyond angry that he had even touched her, his wife, Kenshin was about to take off when he heard her soft voice behind him.
"Kenshin! Don't mind. I'm fine, he just pushed me, being the bully he is."
She gasped as he turned around. His eyes met hers briefly before glaring at Saitos disappearing back, and they were solid gold.
"That is not okay, that it is not. He does not get to touch what is mine!" he said dangerously low.
Next time he saw Saito, he would make sure to give him a reminder to never do that again, or there would be consequences to pay! Even though he just came over to deliver a message, what had happened was uncalled for.
Still fuming, he felt Kaorus hand on his shoulder. Making a quick decision that he might regret later, he roughly grabbed her hand and dragged her into the dojo, closing the doors behind them. The need for him to make her his again, after Saito had touched her beautiful skin, consumed his every thought. Kaoru stumbled over the tatami, and landed on her back. Battousai glared down at her.
"Get up!" he ordered.
She silently obeyed, his stare making her shift nervously. He chuckled at her insecurity.
"Do I make you nervous, Kaoru..?"
"Iie!" she said fiercely.
"Well. I guess we'll see too that then."
He threw his sword aside, and crossed his arms amusedly.
"Undress."
She blinked and looked at him.
"Nani?"
"You heard me Kaoru, I know you did."
She swallowed hard and slowly put her hands on her obi. She opened the knot and it fell to the floor revealing her bindings.
"The rest."
Blushing she nervously opened her hakamas, and let them fall to the floor. He took in her features and just looked at her. He growled in acceptance as she undid her bindings, revealing her beautiful breasts. A bit more courageous than before, she took a step towards him, naked. He reached out his hand and undid her ribbon, making her hair fall down.
"Perfect." He murmured and put his hands on her hips.
With one pull she was pressed tightly against his hard chest. His hand roughly tilted her chin up, and without further permission he kissed her and let his tongue assault hers. She moaned into his mouth and felt her knees buckle underneath her, but he catched her, and forced her up on her feet.
Then he worked his way from her mouth and licked the curve of her neck, before biting it teasingly. After a while he moved on to her earlobe and gave it the same treatment. His hand grabbed on to her rear, and pushed her against his aroused member. Kami he wanted her. Now! But oh no… He was going to make her beg for it.
Kaoru whimpered as his fingers brushed over her wet core.
"You liked that didn't you?"
He slid her folds open and pushed his index finger into her. She gasped and threw her head back, panting from the excitement. He looked down at his hand and sent her a vicious smile.
"You're this wet for me, ne koibito..?" he purred before pulling out his finger, slowly licking of her juices in front of her. She closed her eyes, feeling how the aching between her legs grew even more.
"Kenshin…" she mumbled.
He kissed her again, making her taste herself. She grabbed on to his gi, and grinded herself against him. He gently pushed her back.
"I didn't tell you to move, now did I?"
She bit her lip and looked at him. No he hadn't.
"Clothes..."
"Yes. I seem to have too much of them." He nodded. He grabbed the obi and threw his gi to were his sword was. Then he discarded the rest of his clothes until he was as naked as she was. She swallowed and looked at her former hitokiri. She made a bold move and pulled his hair out from his usual ponytail, making his red hair clash with the hard colour of gold in his eyes. He grabbed her hand and moved her to the closest support beam in the room.
"I told you Kaoru; Don't move, now I'll have to teach you a lesson koi."
He turned her so her back was facing him, then he tied her hands to it.
"Now that's more like it…"
He took a step back and enjoyed the scene in front of him.
"Kenshin, please…"
He smirked.
"Please what..?"
"Touch me…" she whispered and arched her back at him, clenching her hands.
He moved up to her and grabbed her breasts, pinching them roughly as he pressed his arousal against her dampness. Kaoru moaned loudly and tilted her head. He took the invitation and bent over, and kissed her neck. He lowered his hand in between her legs and found her centre. He smiled and slid himself to the floor, half sitting as he spread her folds. Kaoru turned her head to see what he was doing. Just as she met his eyes, he slid his tongue deep into her.
"Kenshin!" she gasped in pleasure. Deciding that wasn't enough, he flipped himself onto his back, never letting his tongue leave her, and pushed two fingers inside of her while continuing laping her juices. He could hear her getting closer to her peak and decided to deny her the pleasure. She let out a disappointed whimper and looked at him as he stood up and stroked her back.
"I don't want to make this too easy for you… Although I must say Kaoru, you're quite the tease."
He pinched her nipples again and moved to take the other one in his mouth. She shuddered and cried out as waves of passion rolled of her and her eyes went to the back of her head.
"Kenshin!"
Kaoru almost blacked out from the power of her orgasm. He chuckled and positioned himself behind her, leaning forward he whispered into her ear:
"Vixen…"
She felt his head touch her entrance and she pushed herself against him. Kenshin nearly lost it and desperately slammed himself into her, burying his member inside of Kaoru, mumbling her name. Once in place he began thrusting in and out, increasing the pleasure for himself. His hand stroked her, to make sure that she'd come again.
"Aaah….Oh…k-k-kamiiii!" she groaned, leaning her head down on her arms.
Battousai bent over and grabbed her head, yanking it up roughly and forced his tongue into her mouth. She felt how her arousal spiked. When he let go of her, he bit her shoulder hard. She cried out in passion and murmured:
"Kenshin, anata, Onegai, I need to..to.."
"To what? My love?"
"T-touch you, please let me…"
He pulled out from her, and ripped the obi from the beam almost throwing her around and pushing her up against it as he entered her again. Kaoru gasped at the sensation of him inside of her.
"Ah!"
Her hands trembled as they touched his muscled chest. He was breathing heavily and thrust harder and faster than before, almost there.
"Kaoru!"
She grabbed his shoulders and arched her back at him, screaming his name making him loose control in the process. As he felt her hot core milking him, he grunted out a:
"Dammit!" and buried himself deep inside of her, spilling his seed in her womb. Panting heavily he slowly let her down on the floor, both of them covered in sweat due to their recent activity. She winced at the contact of the floor, her body a little sore after the encounter with battousai.
"Are you okay Kaoru, did I hurt you?" Kenshin asked worriedly
She smiled exhaustedly and kissed him before gently embracing him. Her beloved husband.
"I'm fine Anata. Honto arigato Kenshin."
He looked at her and his eyes had swirls of embedded ember in them. She almost became mesmerized as she stared in to them.
"Iie, it's me who should say that. Arigato Kaoru, for accepting and loving me."
She grinned widely as she whispered tiredly in to his ear.
"Now Kenshin…Take me to our bedroom."
He gently lifted her back up and wrapped her in his gi, then happily did as she said. Closing the shoji behind them he was happier than he had been in years.
