*** Battousai's POV******
The Battousai decided to hover a moment longer and watched the simple rise and fall of Kaoru's chest as she slept. How had this slip of a woman, weaseled her way so deeply into his subconscious?
She is nothing more than a human girl.
Per Contra, He wanted her. He hadn't felt this excited about a sexual conquest in centuries.
He paused. Was that all that it was?
No. There is something about her. Once is not enough. I need more.
The battousai lost his focus as the edge of his mind fluttered.
His left hand clenched into a fist. He recognized the signs of his other side trying to take over.
It won't let me get too close to the girl.
Kenshin would try to intervene.
Now that the demon sword was replaced, it would be harder for him to take control of this form of his own volition.
He would have to be summoned or released by his other side from now.
Damn it all to hell.
"Fine, have it your way." He spoke as he backed away from Kaoru and left the room.
The pulsing his head stopped, the fluttered calmed, and he could focus once more.
Upon leaving the living room, he strode into the main hall and towards his room.
The battousai was stopped though as he noticed a familiar Ki outside of his home.
Hiko.
****Hiko's Pov****
Hiko stood in front of Kenshin's home after his portal closed.
He uttered the spell to lower the façade and headed up towards the front door.
If it wasn't for following up with Arai Shakku, he wouldn't have known that his bastard apprentice picked up his new sword.
He hadn't heard from Kenshin since that night at the pond.
To him this could only mean one of two things; that his son was focusing too much on that shrine wench, or that something dramatic had occurred.
Hiko reached for the knob on the front door, before he could turn the handle it swung open.
Two glowing red eyes stared back at him from the entryway, surrounded by a wave of loose red hair.
Hiko remained in his place. Hiko studied the demon's posture.
Why was the battousai the one greeting him at this hour?
He seemed tense, territorial.
The battousai was unpredictable, anything could set him off. The last thing Hiko wanted was to waste energy fighting.
The two were locked in a stalemate. Neither one wanted to make the first move or be the first to backdown.
"Hiko."
"Battousai."
"To what to I owe the pleasure of your presence?"
"You were to report to me as soon as you retrieved the sword, were you not?"
"Something unexpected happened."
"Such as? Arai, informed me that you and the wench retrieved the sword without any complications."
Red eyes narrowed at Hiko's new nick name for Kaoru.
"That wench experienced physical complications after going through the portal Arai created."
Bingo. Hiko thought.
This girl was proving even more problematic than he anticipated.
"Where is she now?"
"Resting."
Hiko sighed. He really didn't feel like reestablishing the power dynamic between master and apprentice.
Howbeit, with this new turn of events, he would have to act if Kenshin decided to revolt or abandon his post.
He needed Kenshin at Itochu, they all needed Kenshin.
Hiko couldn't fight off a potential coup d'état lead by Demons within Itochu or all of Japan by himself.
"Battousai, I can't waste anymore time waiting around for you and Kenshin to get your shit together. We need to stick to our original objective." Hiko reasoned.
The battousai mulled over his words.
It appears he isn't here to remove Kaoru. Maybe Hiko will stick to his word after all.
He wanted to trust Hiko, he wanted to fight back against Shishio.
He wanted to defend Japan as he had done for centuries, but now he had found her. She had changed everything for him.
The battousai relaxed his stance. His red eyes faded back to a deep amber. His hair stopped flowing wildly around him.
"I know. Let me find someone to watch over Kaoru tomorrow. Then I will meet you."
"I am glad your puny brain is still working inside that hard head. Baka, stop thinking with your dick for five minutes."
The battousai laughed. Hiko always had a way with words.
"I will call on Sano, he is the least intimidating demon we have."
"Poor girl is afraid of demons? She's in for a rude awakening."
Both men laughed again. Hiko turned to leave. A portal formed and opened up in front of him.
He looked over his shoulder at the Battousai before he stepped through.
"No more bullshit. I mean it."
Then he was gone.
******Kaoru's POV***
The next morning:
*BZZZZZZZZZZT BZZZT BZZZTTT *
Kaoru woke up to the sound of her cell phone buzzing in her pocket. Rubbing her eyes, she pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the home screen.
Kaoru gulped and stared at her screen in shock. She had never called Megumi back the other night when she got home to the shrine.
The attack had distracted her. Kaoru also hadn't told anyone that she was running an errand with Kenzo.
At the time, she had reasoned it would be a short trip.
They must be so worried about me. Oh my god! poor gramps!
She had 50 missed calls from Misao, 15 missed calls from Megumi, 5 missed phone calls from her grandfather, and 10 voice messages.
It looked like someone had even tried to track her iPhone from their location. The battery shown at 1% in the top right corner of the screen.
Kaoru then glanced at the time on her phone screen, it was 6:00am the next day.
6:00 AM? FUCK! How long was I ASLEEP for?
How had she missed so much time. Kaoru never slept for more than 7 hours.
If she had her calculations correct, she would have had to be asleep for 14 hours to be at the current time.
Another thought struck her just then.
Why didn't I hear my phone? Was I that knocked out?
The last thing Kaoru remembered was the battousai doing some weird Jedi mind trick in front of her face with his hand, and then blackness.
He must have used magic on me again. CURSE HIM.
Kaoru was frustrated. She had tried to answers out of Kenshin, only for his evil twin to show up, and navigate the conversation.
His evil twin, who also seemed to have a personality disorder.
How annoying! Can Kenshin not do anything without him? What was the point of the demon sword?
Kaoru reflected for a moment and noticed a pattern.
Every time she got upset, the battousai seemed to show up and take matters into his own hands.
In a rather forceful way.
Maybe if I can stay calm, I can talk to Kenshin and only him. Not his evil other side.
Kaoru wondered if she would be able to handle any other information that Kenshin told her at this point.
Demons, Demi-gods, Deities?
What choice did she have other than to believe him?
Thus far, everything he had said turned out to be true. Jarring, but true.
Finding out information that would mean they couldn't be together was Kaoru's main concern now.
Despite all of this, I still want to be with Kenshin.
Kaoru sighed heavily and framed her face with her hands. As crazy as this may be, she loved him.
God I must be some kind of masochist to manifest a man like this into my life. What the fuck is wrong with me!
Kaoru started to massage her temples with her thumbs and forefingers.
Her blue-black hair had fallen out of its ponytail at some point and fell around her like a curtain.
It was in this position that Kenshin found her.
***Kenshin's Pov***
Kenshin had spent the morning trying to figure out what kind of food Kaoru liked to eat.
Sure, he had seen her stuff her face a thousand times when he was in his canine form.
During those moments, he had always been distracted by her beauty, her scent.
He had decided upon one of the simple meals she had prepared for him, chicken teriyaki, rice, mixed vegetables, and miso soup.
He loaded everything onto a tray.
When Kenshin entered the room with the tray in his arms, he noticed Kaoru's brooding body language.
"Oro? Miss Kaoru, I see you are finally awake."
Kaoru didn't remove her face from her hands and slowly nodded. Kenshin took this as a sign to continue.
He headed over to Kaoru and set the tray of food down on the coffee table.
Kaoru looked through her fingertips at that food, and then at Kenshin.
She sighed heavily again and then stood up.
Without saying a word, she walked over to where Kenshin stood and pulled him into a hug.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Oro?! Hello..Miss Kaoru."
Kenshin was taken aback by the sudden show of affection.
Of all the reactions he had gotten from Kaoru in the past 48 hours, he had not been expecting this.
"Kenshin, I…I." Kaoru hesitated.
Kenshin returned her hug, waiting patiently for her response.
She must be disoriented and confused.
"I REALLY need…a shower."
Kenshin felt slightly relieved, he let out the breath he had been holding.
This would mean no more serious talks, at least for another hour or so.
"Yes of course Miss Kaoru, would you like to eat before you shower? I can get everything ready for you?"
Kaoru stepped back from the hug and looked at the food that Kenshin had prepared. It looked delicious!
I guess demons can cook.
"Yes, thank you, that would be nice." Kaoru smiled at him briefly before helping herself to the tray of food.
Kenshin smiled back and headed out of the room. Kaoru seemed to be in better spirits today.
Maybe she is starting to accept the fact that demons, and demi-gods are real.
Kenshin went into the bathroom and prepared some towels, and toiletries for Kaoru to use.
He had a tub, a standing shower, and a vanity. The standing shower was open with a with a stool and a bamboo rinsing bucket.
He also went to his bedroom and tried to find some new clothes to give Kaoru.
He settled on a white V-neck and a pair of grey joggers. He folded them up and set them by the towels in the bathroom for Kaoru.
When Kenshin returned to the living room Kaoru had finished her meal.
Not one scrap of food was left. Kaoru rose with her empty tray and turned toward him as he entered the room.
"I can take that Miss Kaoru, why don't you head down the hall to the left take your shower?"
Kaoru was taken aback by his gesture. He was catering to her every need.
He is being so kind. This is the side of him that I love.
Kaoru's ears burned red.
Fuck. I am such a school girl.
"Thank you..Kenshin." She turned quickly and left the room.
He watched her leave with a smile.
The fact that she was open with her emotions and couldn't hide what she felt was like a breath of fresh air to him.
She is precious.
As Kaoru walked down the hall, she didn't even take the time to look at the décor or tour the home.
She needed a shower, and some more space to think.
It was too difficult to think with Kenshin or his evil twin hovering around her.
Kaoru undressed and stepped into the shower.
She started the water and felt herself relax as warm water poured over her sore muscles.
She sighed in relief. She had needed this.
As Kaoru bathed, she tried to think of a way to transition into her next conversation with Kenshin.
I need some solidarity; I need to know that he feels the same way.
Kaoru paused for a moment. She realized she was still letting her emotional brain had been run the show.
She also needed to know where Kenshin came from and why he became a demon.
I need to know if he really was a blood thirsty Killer.
Could she really justify being with someone like that? Kaoru knew that it went against all of her values, and everything she had learned at the shrine.
Kaoru stepped out of the shower and tried to towel dry her hair. She put on the clothes that Kenshin had left for her.
Surprisingly, they fit her just fine. They were loose, but she wasn't swimming in them.
Kaoru looked at herself in the mirror and pictured Kenshin wearing these clothes. They must fit him tight and show off his muscle definition.
Ugh..what a hunk.
Stop it Kaoru. Now is not the time.
Kaoru pulled herself together and left the bathroom. She headed back towards the living room and found Kenshin waiting for her on the couch.
He was in a relaxed posture he had a closed laptop on the coffee table. He must have been working while she was in the bathroom.
Kaoru found this humorous.
Demons work regular jobs? *Snort*
"Hello Miss Kaoru, those clothes suit you. How was your shower?"
He was so fucking pleasant. Kaoru steeled herself and decided she would not give into his small talk.
I need to stay calm and ask my questions.
"Kenshin, I have a few more questions I need to ask you. Your other side was vague. I promise to keep my cool this time."
Kenshin didn't act surprised or taken aback by her sudden request.
He gestured for her to sit down next to him.
His expression seemed to harden; his eyes lost their sparkle.
"Of course, Miss Kaoru, I had expected this talk today. Please ask me whatever you want."
Kaoru sat down next to him and tucked a stray wet hair behind her ear.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and thought about her first question.
Looking at Kenshin through her lowered lashes, she began her questioning.
"I need to know what you are, and where you came from."
"I was born a long time ago as a demi-god. Which is the offspring of a goddess and a human. I was a warrior and protector of the holy realm."
"An offspring of a human and a goddess?"
"Yes, you've heard of the great sun goddess Amaterasu? A goddess like her was my mother."
"Really? Which goddess?"
"The goddess Ame-no-Uzume. The goddess of shadows and light. She had a child out of wedlock with my father on earth, centuries ago. It was decided that I would live with my mother in the holy realm."
"O-okay. So how did you get to earth?" Kaoru was trying to stay cool.
"During my time as a demi-god I saw many trials and tribulations on earth, but we were never allowed to interfere. I realized one day that I could no longer stand idly by and watch people suffer. I wanted to help in some way.
I had witnessed many bloody battles over the centuries, but I was fascinated by Tokugawa era. The country seemed to have a fighting chance but needed help reforming. I wanted to help humans fight for peace and order. "
Kenshin paused and waited for Kaoru's explosive reaction. She was looking down at her hands and fidgeting, but seemed calm.
After a few more moments, and a brief nod from Kaoru, he decided to continue.
"Leaving the holy realm was no easy choice, I would have to renounce everything I'd ever know. Most demi-gods who left the holy realm become demons, I thought that to be a demon was to be evil. As most demons are spawned from hell and live to massacre humans and wreak havoc."
"That's what I had thought too. Not all demons are bad?" Kaoru interrupted him.
"Not exactly. Think of demons on a spectrum, not all of them are driven by a will to kill or do harm. Not all of them are inherently evil. Especially demi-gods who have turned into demons. It all really depends on how the demon was created."
Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief.
"I understand."
"On earth Hiko found me. He was also a fallen demi-god, who had become an extremely powerful demon. He trained me to fight so I could help rebuild Japan in the revolution. He became like a father to me. However, the more I killed, even if it was fighting for peace, the farther away from a demi-god I became. I sinned; I became more like a human.
He did kill. He was a solider in war.
Kaoru felt conflicted. She knew that soldiers had to kill during war. This era of history that Kenshin was describing was one of the bloodiest for Japan.
"I remember reading about the Tokugawa era in school, I can't believe you lived through that."
Kaoru tried to show empathy for him. She wanted to show him that she understood.
"During the latter part of the Tokugawa era, I met a woman and we fell in love. Unfortunately, I did not know she belonged to an enemy clan. Her name was Tomoe, and she was a powerful miko. From the beginning she had plotted my death because I killed her husband in a prior battle. The night she decided to make her move to assassinate me, I fought back. I didn't want to hurt her, but in the end, I had no choice if I wanted to survive. She died by my hand. As she lay dying, she cursed me and I became a demon. I think is when I lost my mind. My heart was plunged into darkness. I no longer cared what I was fighting for. After the revolution ended, I entered the Boshin war, and continued killing. However, I was no longer fighting for Japan. It was all just for sport. People began to call my demon form the battousai."
Kenshin seemed as though he was in a trance as he told the story. He was no longer looking at Kaoru but staring off into space. Disassociating as he was recalling one of the most painful parts of his life.
"I thrived in battle and had a thirst for the blood of man. It grew so powerful that I couldn't control it. I noticed my thoughts and actions becoming more and more evil. Thankfully, Hiko stepped in and tried to save me. He was the only one I would listen to at that point. Hiko found a powerful sorceress and brought her to me. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't cast out the darkness from my heart, the demon curse could not be broken. All she was able to do was to split my mind into two. That created a new set of problems as I struggled with fluctuating between my two sides."
Kaoru felt her heart clench in her chest. She want to mourn for him.
He has been through so much. I can't even imagine the pain that he must feel.
Kaoru didn't dare interrupt him now, she was so close to finding out everything.
"Hiko had one other resource; he and I went to Arai Shakku for help. Arai knew just what to do when he saw the never-ending battle between myself and my demon. He crafted me a special sword to keep my demonic counterpart, the battousai, in check. Without the sword, I am unable to control my demon for long."
Everything seemed to click for Kaoru. She let out an audible cry. This sound snapped Kenshin out of his trance and he looked at her with concerned violet eyes.
"Miss Kaoru, I am sorry, I can stop-"
Kaoru cut him off by pulling him into a tight hug. She held him to her torso and cradle his head against her chest.
Her tears dripped onto his crown and ran down his forehead.
"Oh Kenshin. I am sorry you had to go through all of that." Kaoru sobbed.
Kenshin was mentally reeling. He sat stiff in her embrace. She wasn't disgusted by him.
She is crying for me. For my pain.
Kenshin returned the hug and held onto her waist tightly. He let himself inhale her scent deeply and enjoy the comfort her embrace brought him.
How wonderful she is, to respond with compassion instead of hatred. I didn't think humans like her existed.
"T-thank you miss Kaoru." They held each other for a few minutes in silence.
Kaoru ran her fingers threw his hair, trying to soothe him, and herself.
She focused on her breathing and worked to calm herself down.
After a few more moments Kaoru released Kenshin from her embrace and slowly sat back into her original place on the couch.
Kenshin responded by mirroring her posture. He reached for her hands after she wiped her last falling tears away.
They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, sharing a new understanding.
"Kenshin," Kaoru began again.
"Tell me more about the Battousai."
Kenshin furrowed his brows in confusion. She had questions about the battousai?
"What can I clarify for you Miss Kaoru?"
"Is he really you? Do you feel the same about things that he does?" She looked at him with anxiety.
"He and I are two different sides of the same coin. He is a part of me." Kenshin responded with caution. He didn't want to lie to her.
"What does he want from me?"
Kaoru didn't want to feel confused by that side of him anymore.
If she was going to be with him, she needed to accept that the battousai might never go away.
"I can tell you that the battousai will not harm you, his infatuation with you is based out of lust."
"Um…so what does that mean exactly?"
"He seeks to claim you as his."
"Like sex?"
Kenshin could see the wheels in Kaoru's head spinning. He was thankful she hadn't run away screaming yet after everything he had told her.
For being so sheltered, she was taking all of this pretty well.
"Yes."
"Oh..um. Gotcha."
I don't want my first time to be with a sex-crazed demon. Well, hang on, would that be so bad?
Kaoru couldn't believe she was thinking of all of this with a guy she had met 3 months ago. Things had gotten complicated fast.
What were Kenshin's intentions with her?
"What about you Kenshin? What do you want with me?"
Kenshin was caught off guard by this question.
What do I want? What is realistic?
He knew he needed to choose his words carefully. Kaoru is different than Tomoe. They had met under very different circumstances.
"I am torn Kaoru. I wasn't expecting to meet you, or anyone for that matter. I want to share my time with you, but I also regret getting you wrapped up in all of this. I can't deny that I have come to care very deeply for you."
"You don't want to be with me?"
"Ah Kaoru, Of course I do."
"Then about what I want? Don't I have a say in all of this?"
"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation—"
"I don't care! I am here, aren't I? I want to be yours Kenshin."
"Kaoru, I don't want to take you away from the chance to live a normal life. With me you will always have to look over your shoulder."
"Stop telling me how things are. Or how they will be. The future isn't certain."
Kenshin sighed. She was young and had much to learn. He was relieved to hear that she wanted to be with him.
They would have to find a way to be together. He knew after this he would have some explaining to do with his demon counterparts.
They would not be thrilled with the news that he had chosen a human.
Taking advantage of his mental distraction, Kaoru moved herself onto Kenshin's lap. Getting his full attention once again.
She straddled him and looked into his eyes.
"Kenshin please, give us a chance. Teach me whatever I need to know."
Kenshin studied her expression. Her innocence and blind loyalty to him was breaking his chivalrous objective to keep her maiden hood safe.
Even now, she had plopped herself into his lap without thinking of the consequences.
Unless she seeks to seduce us. Let me take over.
No. Wait. Let her make the first move.
Fine.
When Kenshin didn't say anything, Kaoru took this as a positive sign to continue.
Brazenly, she pressed her lips to his and shifted closer to him in his lap.
Kenshin sat there in awe and let her kiss him. Leisurely he kissed her back, not wanting to rush this moment.
His hands rose to wrap around her hips tenderly, holding her in place. Kenshin deepened the kiss sliding his tongue across Kaoru's bottom lip.
Kaoru allowed him access and timidly rubbed her tongue against his in return.
They continued like this for a while, exploring each other's mouths.
Eventually, Kaoru grew restless.
I want more than this.
Breaking their kiss, she crossed her arms over her chest and pulled up the edges of his shirt to lift it up over her head.
She revealed her rounded breasts covered by nude lacy bra.
She looked coyly down at Kenshin's expression. He looked like he was in heaven.
"Touch me Kenshin."
Touch her? Oh gods. His inner demon howled. Demanding to get free.
Kenshin caressed her breasts softly, using his hands to cup them and trace their shape.
He looked up a Kaoru to see her eyes closed in pleasure and her lips parted.
"Like this, Miss Kaoru?"
"Yess.."
Part of Kenshin wanted rip her clothes off and have his way, and another part of him wanted to take things slow and drag out Kaoru's first time.
Taking her right now didn't feel right.
Their relationship needed to be more solidified. Kenshin wanted to offer Kaoru something more than a passion filled romp, she deserved a commitment.
There will still things that needed to be figured out between them. Additionally, Kenshin didn't want to feel rushed.
He wanted to take his time, give her experiences of pleasure that she would never forget.
For once in his life, Kenshin looked to his demon for help, unsure of how to continue.
*Growling*
I can't believe I'm turning to you for this.
Let me show you how it's done.
Don't hurt her. She still isn't ready.
Fool. I've decided on a new pursuit; I won't claim her until she begs me to.
You're sick.
Nevertheless, I am you. Now do you want my help or not?
Alright, but remember I have the sword.
Shut up already.
"Kenshin?" Kaoru thought she sensed some hesitation from him.
She was about to open her eyes when she felt a hot mouth on her breast.
Kenshin had moved her bra out of the way, and He was licking and sucking her most sensitive parts.
Kaoru didn't know that this area could be so sensitive as well.
"Ohh.."
His mouth continued its feverish trail to her other breast, licking and sucking. She leaned into his mouth and let herself relax.
Kenshin's arms wound themselves around her torso and waist holding her in place.
His mouth continued its ministrations, growing more aggressive.
He incorporated his teeth into his caress and Kaoru found that she enjoyed being softly bitten.
Somehow, he removed her bra without her noticing, and it fell forgotten to the floor.
During his attentions, Kaoru had readjusted herself in Kenshin's lap and settled over his growing hardness.
She initiated a slow grind on his lap incognizant of her actions.
Kaoru felt a growl against her chest, and steel hands stopped her hips from moving.
Kaoru ignored his growl and tried to move her hips again, earning another growl and an intense stare from two golden orbs.
It's him again.
In spite of her earlier hesitation, Kaoru found that she was too wanton to care which Kenshin was making an appearance at the moment.
Her brain was only focused on consoling the ache she felt between her legs.
Maybe she could appeal to this wild side of him. They seemed to have similar interests.
"Please…"
The battousai's golden eyes flashed. He hadn't expected this response at all. What a delight this was.
His little blue bird was already starting to sing.
None the less, he would need more than just a word to bend to her will.
"Please what little blue bird?
He replied back to her, his voice was deeper than it normally was.
It was raspy, but smooth like velvet at the same time. This man was the definition of sex.
Damn him. He wants me to say it.
The nerve of this demon.
What should she ask him for? Reprieve? Satisfaction? Alleviation?
Ugh this is frustrating.
Kaoru felt her dissatisfaction grow as the battousai switched tactics and pulled her hips back down over his grinding into her from below.
Kaoru moaned in response and moved her hips in sync with his.
Soon, she realized in annoyance that it made things worse. She decided to try again.
"I need to feel more from you.." Kaoru looked down at him with carnality. She used her hands to pull his chest and face closer to her.
He smirked back at her from his position but didn't lean in to close the distance with a kiss.
He enjoyed her lack of ability to communicate with him. Kaoru went nose to nose with him.
"Please, make it stop, I ache." She whispered.
Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Kaoru let go of the battousai's shirt and slid a hand down her front to find her center under her borrowed pants.
There she positioned her pointer and middle finger to rub against herself.
All the while looking at him with longing. The battousai watched her movements with hungry eyes.
What a fascinating little creature she is was.
He grabbed her wandering hand and pulled it away. Kaoru's eyes widened at he brought her hand to his mouth and began lay soft kisses on her palm.
"That's not necessary, I will give you your release."
Kaoru gasped at his words. And waited for his next move with anticipation.
Does that mean he will—
Abruptly Kaoru was on her back, with his masculine form above her, pressing into her small frame on the couch.
His mouth covered hers in a bruising kiss, and his hands busied themselves with the string on her joggers.
Kaoru moaned into the kiss in excitement. She had dreamed of this moment with him.
Breaking the kiss, the battousai gracefully slide the pants down over her thighs, to her feet.
He tossed them over his shoulder and stared at the sight of her. She wore a delicate pink thong with lace straps.
He loved how it complimented the rounded shape of her hips.
His red hair had come free and fell over them like a curtain while he looked down at her. He had an arm on either side of her torso. His hips pressed into her legs.
Kaoru felt vulnerable when she noticed he was still fully clothed and used her hands to reach up and lift the edges of his shirt.
He let her and aided her in removing his shirt. Kaoru stared at his perfect torso feeling self-conscious.
She crossed her arms over her chest and looked away from him.
The battousai noticed her behavior and moved her hands out of the way. Kaoru looked up at him in worry biting her lower lip.
"Don't do that. Don't you know how delectable you are Kaoru?"
That's the first time he said my name. At least, this side of him.
He lowered his chest to hers and rested on his forearms. Using one hand he cupped her face firmly forcing her to make eye contact with him.
Kaoru's face felt hot, and a flush spread down her face to her neck and chest.
"Your body is impeccable; I won't allow it to be hidden from me."
"Is that all it is to you, a body?" Kaoru stared back at him defiantly. She challenged him. He sighed.
Women were unnecessarily insecure at times.
"Sweet blue bird, if given the choice; I would devour you. Mind, body, and soul."
To emphasize his point, he buried his face in her neck and sucked along her pulse point before she could respond.
Kaoru relaxed and turned her neck to the side giving him more access. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of his kisses.
He kissed down her neck, down the valley between her breasts, down her flat stomach, down her hip bones, until she felt his breath graze across her center.
What is he doing? He won't kiss me there…
Kaoru tensed up and was about to sit up when she felt one of his hands hold her lower abdomen down in an iron grip.
Once she stopped moving his hand stayed resting on her hip. His breath continued to breeze across her center as he spoke.
"Relax, let me relieve your ache Kaoru."
Before she could protest a tongue darted out and licked her through her underwear. Kaoru's hips jerked at that movement.
Oh fuck..oh what is this…
He continued to lick her most sensitive place through her underwear until the fabric was soaked through with his saliva and her juices.
Kaoru moaned, remaining still, afraid that if she moved that he would cease his activities.
Long pointed fingers moved the crotch of her panties to the side and Kaoru felt a long tongue against her bead. She cried out.
"Ahh…mmm."
The battousai grinned against her.
She sounded so sweet when she sang for him.
He needed to hear more.
He picked up the pace with his tongue lathering her bead with more attention, using one of his favorite techniques.
He used one of his hands reach under her hips so he could part her thighs more and widen her stance on the couch.
He needed more room to work. Kaoru tossed her head from side to side as she continued to moan.
"Oh Kenshin…it feels so..Ahh!" She cried out again as two of his fingers entered her tight canal.
The feeling of being penetrated by his hand was new, wonderful.
He moved his fingers slowly at first, allowing her untouched walls to adjust to him. Then he began to pick up the pace and match the movement of his tongue.
Kaoru was moaning in time with his hand now, each thrust of his fingers and mouth bringing her closer and closer to the edge.
He grinned against her as he felt her thighs start to shake around his head.
Finally with a cry Kaoru came against him and he felt her juices coat his fingers and tongue. He growled against her in satisfaction drinking in her essence.
Earning another buck of her hips against his face.
The energy exchange between the two of them gave him power. As her aura began to fade and diminish in her relaxed state, his grew with renewed vigor.
Demons tended to prey on the energy and life forces of their victims. This exchange though not harmful, it just added to Kaoru's expenditure.
"Satisfied little blue bird?" Kenshin removed his head from her thighs and looked down into her sleepy face.
Confidence oozed from him in waves. Kaoru was too tired to engage.
"Mmm." Was Kaoru's only response. Her eyes felt like dead weights and sleep overcame her as soon as she closed them.
The battousai's aura receded, and Kenshin returned to his senses.
His violet gaze scanned Kaoru, looking for any injuries he might have caused while his conscious was away.
She is fine. Well, more than fine.
He had enjoyed the experience as much as his demon had.
He could still taste Kaoru on his lips. He hoped to memorize all of her body, and its various sensitive places.
Kenshin went his bedroom and retrieved his comforter from his bed and brought it back over to Kaoru.
He used the comforter to allow her some modesty and to keep her from getting cold. She didn't stir at all as he placed it over her.
Next, Kenshin folded up her borrowed clothes next to her in a neat pile so they would be there when she awoke.
After pressing a kiss to her forehead, Kenshin went into the next room to contact Sano.
If he was to meet with Hiko, he would need to ask for a favor.
*****Author's Note**
Phew, my hands are tired you guys! I am going take a few days break from posting. I can't want to get into the fun dynamic between Kaoru and Sano. I also intend to start some more drama for Kenshin and Kaoru in the next coming chapters. Stay tuned!
