Sanosuke was at his wit�s end.

He�d tried tea cakes, bad jokes, sake, expensive tea, and
even a trip to Yokohama, but Kaoru
still wasn�t talking to anyone.

She hadn�t said a word all afternoon and he was starting to
panic. Sano had absolutely NO experience with depressed women. It might have
been easier if she�d been crying; he�d actually gotten the hang of crying
women. You just sat there and held them while they sobbed nonsense, but Kaoru
wasn�t the crying type.

She just sat in a corner of the kitchen, hugging her knees
and staring out into the garden.

He was down to begging her to tell him what was wrong so he
could go kill whoever had caused this.

�C�mon, Jo-chan,� he pled. �Just one itty bitty word: A
name, a place, anything! Just don�t keep doing this!�

Kaoru turned her head so he couldn�t see her eyes, but he
saw the tell tale glitters at the edges of her ey�Go �Go away.� She muttered,
it was almost inaudible, but Sano heard it.

�That�s a start.� He praised her and wrapped his arms around
her shoulder. �But I�m not going anywhere until you tell Sano-nii what�s wrong.�

Kaoru glared at him through teary eyes. �Sano-nii? Who said you could be �Sano-nii�?�
she asked in mild affront.

�Ayame and Suzume,� He informed her. �C�mon, I won�t leave
you alone until you spill.�

Kaoru gave him one more glare for good measure before
deflating with a deep sigh. �It�s Kenshin.� She mumbled.

Sano groaned. �You aren�t depressed because he did something
boneheaded again, are you? Cause it�s no good holding that against him. Kenshin
is clueless like a hurricane. It�s a
force of nature.�

Kaoru sniffed and used a sleeve to wipe the tears
threatening to spill down her cheeks. �No . . .
it�s just that, I�ve been trying to . . . you know . . . seduce him.� The last she said so softly that
Sano barely heard her, but he got the gist.

He whistled appreciatively. �Way to take the initiative,
Jo-chan!� he congratulated her. �It�s about time you realized Kenshin�ll never make the first move!�

�I know that.� Kaoru growled. �That�s what I�ve been doing
for the past two months! Yet nothing I do even gets his attention!�

Sano chuckled. �Oh it can�t be that bad, Jo-chan. Yust ust
don�t have much experience in that area. He might not have gotten the
hint. You�ll just have to be a little
extra blunt for him.�

Kaoru made a small scream of frustration. �I�ve been blunt!
I�ve even gone to the nastiest yotaka for advice on propositions! It�s always �You should
cover your chest up a little more, Kaoru-dono you�ll catch cold!� �Are you
feeling all right, Kaoru-dono?� �Would you like me to mend that hole in your kimono, Kaoru-dono?�

Sano blinked. �Have you tried crawling naked into bed with
him?� he suggested lightly, meaning it as a joke to cheer her up. He didn�t
expect her to duck her head and fall silent.

He really didn�t like the quality of that silence.

�Jo-chan�� he said slowly. �Are you saying you tried that?�

A minuscule nod was his answer.

�HOW COULD THAT NOT WORK????� he exploded.

Kaoru flinched. �It�s me.� She whimpered. �It�s got to be
me. He just doesn�t want me, and why should be? I�m just a macho, sweaty, tanuki-no-onna
with no sexual appeal whatsoever�� there she dissolved into tears forcing Sano
to gather her close and rock her until her sobbing subsided.

�Shhhh.�
He crooned as he rocked her. �That�s not true.
You�re not ugly. You�re bifuliful and Kenshin does want you.�

She pushed him away. �I don�t need lies, Sagara.�
She growled. �I�m a big girl, and I can handle the truth about myself. I�m not
some delusional little idiot who can�t live without someone to tell her she�s
pretty.�

Sano shot a grin back at her. �Then why do I keep catching
him peeping on you whenever you�re in the bath?�

Kaoru gasped. �He doesn�t! I�ve never seen him do it!�

�It�s not like he stands there and leers.� Sano admitted.
�But haven�t you noticed that he passes by the steam escape and awful lot while
you�re in there? He just takes quick peeks.�

Kaoru blushed and held up a hand to her mouth. �I never
guessed . . . I thought he just was
stoking the fire or going to and from the laundry lines . . .
�

He interrupted her by laughing long and loud. �You sweet,
innocent little thing,� He chuckled as he mussed Kaoru�s hair. �No, he�s interested
all right. I�ve seen all the signs; I think the problem is that inferiority
complex he�s got going. You know how he�s always going on about his �dark and
bloody past, but you should hear his when it�s just us.�

Sano started in on an uncannily accurate imitation of
Kenshin�s goofy Rurouni act. �Kaoru-dono is too pure and special for an old man
like me. I just draw danger here, she only wants me to stay because she�s such
a kind girl and never thinks about her own safety . . . �
Sano made a face. �It�s enough to turn my sake sour. Trust me, Kaoru the
spirit�s willing.�

�Then why can�t he take a hint?� Kaoru cried. �What if
you�re wrong?�

The ex-sekihoutai straightened up.
�That�s impossible for I am never wrong!� he assured her. �No, Jo-chan, this
job is just too big for you to do alone, but never fear. That�s why the Kenshingumi is
here. Now you stay here, drink some of that sake, and eat a tea cake while I go
and get something arranged.�

�But Sano . . . � Kaoru started to
protest, but he was already gone. �... I don�t need help . . .
� she finished lamely.

Dejectedly, she poured herself a minuscule amount of sake
and took a tea cake. She didn�t want to get drunk, shed need her wits about her
tonight now that he friends were sticking their nose in. It was going to be a
bloody disaster.

***

Half and hour later, Sano found himself sitting across the
table from Tae and Megumi who were both staring at him in shock.

Megumi was the first to recover use of her tongue. �What do
you mean that didn�t work?�

Tae pulled a paper fan out of her sleeve and briskly fanned
herself to banish the blush from her cheeks. �Maybe . . . please.� The last was added on as
though it were an afterthought.

Kaoru swallowed hard, but the stubborn part of her nature
was rearing its ugly head. �Fine, I�ll spell it out for you.� She took a
breath. �I have been wracking my brain for the past two months trying to find a
way to get you into bed with me, but everything I�ve tried has failed
miserably, but I finally got the hint. You�re not interested. I get it. Life moves on.�

Shock banished part of that amber tide from his eyes. �But .
. . you can�t possibly have . . . when did you . . . �
he stammered.

Kaoru rolled her eyes. �Don�t tell me you actually believed
I was delirious with a fever than night I crawled into your futon wearing
nothing but a hair ribbon and a smile?�

The blank look on Kenshin�s face told her more than she
wanted to know. �You were so red, and your skin was so hot . . . � he whispered, his voice toneless with shock.

�I was embarrassed, all right?� Kaoru retorted. �You would
be to if you were a teenage girl in bed with the man you wanted to lose your . . . uh . .
. just forget. Like I said, I understand
that you�re not interested.�

Since her head was ducked, Kaoru didn�t see Kenshin�s eyes
go completely yellow. She reached up for the next knot, but Kenshin�s arm cut
her off as it encircled her waist and pulled her up close.

�Kenshin � she squeaked in shock,
but he didn�t answer. There comes a point in all relationships when the male
partner is incapable of speech and this was the point where Kenshin was at
right now.

Kaoru had gotten onto her tiptoe to reach his arm so her
mouth was out of Kenshin�s reach, but he knew how to fix that. He gripped the
last cord binding him and hauled down on it until was face level with Kaoru.
�Who said I wasn�t interested?� he growled at her before taking his mouth with
his own.

Kaoru melted against him in an extremely gratifying manner
and amenably opened her mouth to let his questing tongue inside.

Kenshin made a leisurely exploration of his mouth, pausing
to note the after taste of sake on her tongue. She�d probably had the drink
when she�d heard of Sano�s hair-brained plot. He knew a drink would have done
him good under the circumstances.

Still, there was a wholesome taste to her. It was a taste
he�d never encountered in a woman. He�d hardly been celibate during his
wandering years since his wife had d but but his experience was limited the
cheapest women of the pleasure quarters and they usually tasted of cheap sake
and opium smoke. Even Tomoe hadn�t tasted this way,
she�d always tasted fresh and cool due to the mint leaves she chewed for sweet
breath.

Kaoru was an experience unto herself.

clasclass=MsoNormal>A possessive instinct surged deep inside his chest and
Kenshin came face to face with his darkest fear. He wasn�t going to be able to
leave after this. He wouldn�t be able to stand aside for the lucky man Kaoru
chose to marry. This is was it, this was forever. Kaoru belonged to him now, she just didn�t know it yet.

They resurfaced for breath a few minutes later. A delightful
pink blush decorated Kaoru�s cheekd frd fresh tear tracks had found their way
down her cheeks. Kenshin found himself kissing at the tears, wiping at them,
trying to erase any mark of sorroom hom his lover�s face.

Somehow, he foundselfself trailing those kisses down the
pale column of her throat and dusting them across her collar bones. He released
her waist so he could push the collar of her robe down to expose more of her
pale body.

This time, Kaoru wasn�t passive under him, she met the
desire in his kiss with need of her own and slipped her hands behind his head
and tugged the cord holding his thick red hair in check free.

Somehow the release of his ponytail had a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde effect on Kenshin and suddenly found a wild man in
her arms.

He took the satin cord that laced her top shut in his teeth
and pulled it loose to the top fell open and let her chest spill free. His
hands were suddenly everywhere at once and she could feel her meager garment
falling from her body as if they were being washed away in the rain.

But rain was never warm and calloused from decades of sword
practice; rain was never followed by a gentle mouth dusting her entire body
with butterfly kisses. She felt her legs go weak beneath her, but when they
crumpled he had her safely in his arms before she could even think about
catching herself.

�I�ll never let you fall.� She heard him say hoarsely as he
eased her onto the ground. A few seconds later, she felt his warm weight settle
over her. �Too late� she wanted to tell him, �I fell for you a long time ago,�
but he had already taken her mouth again and was making good progress in
possessing her entire body.

�Kenshin � was the only thing she managed to be able to say
and even that became lost as their bodies began working to a beat that mother
nature had taken eons to compose and very little could improve upon.

<

Still... something wasn�t quite right... ah! There Kaoru�s questing hands met soft linen as they
trailed down Kenshin�s lithe form. �Mou, Kenshin. That�s not fair.� She cooed
into his ear.

He pulled back slightly, his eyes still hazy from arousal.
�Eh? What isn�t fair?�

She tugged on his loin cloth for emphasis.

He looked down in shock as if he were surprised to realize
it was still there.

When his reached down to pull it away, Kaoru stopped him.
�Ah-ah!� she chided him. �My turn!� she crooned.

A tremulous smile eased over Kenshin�s mouth and he let
Kaoru push him onto his back without argument. This time it was Kaoru who crept
up his body, trailing soft kisses up his body as she went starting behind his
knees and working her way up his thighs. Kenshin gasped as lightning ignited
unexpectedly in tiny bursts underneath his skin.

He�d had no idea he was this . . . sensitive!

Kaoru stopped her progress at his waist and concentrate her
ministrations around the edges of his modesty wrap, lightly licking and nipping
flesh at his waist and thighs until groaned in protest. �I thought you wanted
it off � he lifted his hips helpfully. �Get the bloody
thing off for Kami�s sake�

Kaoru chuckled low in her throat and found where the garment
was tucked at the waist and delicately took the cloth in her teeth. She pulled
it free in a series of tiny tugs that seemed to make no progress, but ultimately
pulled the tuck free so the thing could be unwrapped. However, Kenshin decided
his patience had been used up and shoved the undergarment straight down his
hips and kicked it free. Kaoru gasped as he hauled her up against him. She
could feel the long, hot length of him pressed aga the the inside of her
thighs. Butterflies sprang up in her stomach; this was where her knowledge
ended. Every woman she�d spoken to had told her that things took on a life of
their own at this point, that she should just let things go on naturally at
this point . . . but she had no idea of
what to expect.

Kenshin must have had some sort of empathic talent hidden
somewhere in him, because he picked up on her anxiety immediately. He tugged
her close and stroked her back. �Shh, Koi. It�s all right, I�ll take care of you. You don�t have to be afraid at
all, I promise it will be good.�

He rolled her over to the side and covered her once more.
�Are you sure you�re ready for this, Kaoru?� he looked into her eyes as he
asked this. �We can stop right now if you don�t want this anymore.�

Kaoru swallowed on her dry throat and ran a dry tongue over
equally dry lips. �I want it.� She whispered. �I want it to be you.�

In that second, Kenshin knew he was a lost man. �Then we go
on.� He croaked, his throat had seized as he�d looked
down on the sheer beauty of the woman in his arms. HE leaned down and took her
mouth once more.

He remembered his first time with Tomoe with bittersweet
fondness. They�d both been virgins and had made an utter muck of it, but after
years of experience he�d discovered several alternative man of of giving
pleasure and in retrospect he realized all the ways he could have eased the
experience for his first wife. Kaoru�s first time would spectacular if he had
any say in it at all.

His hand drifted down between Kaoru�s thighs. She closed
them reflexively but then gradually eased them open for him to allow him
inside. He smiled reassuringly for him and slipped his fingers inside her to
see if she was ready to take him fully.

She gasped as his probing fingers found sensitive spots that
she never knew she�d had. She found her hips tilting up and moving against his
hand in mute encouragement.

She wasn�t quite ready, Kenshin
decided and withdrew his fingers from her sheath. He kissed Kaoru when she
uttered a whimper of protest and was immediately gratified by the electrified
gasp she gave when his fingers found that wonderful little nubbin of flesh and
cartilage that sent jolt after jolt of pure sensation streaking through her
body.

He found that he was quite enamored of the stifled half
noises and moans that Kaoru made when in the throws of pleasure. His skilled
fingers continued to work her as he watched her writhe beneath him in rapt
fascination.

The sensations began to build thd the stifled moans became
muffled screams and Kaoru abandoned rational thought in favor of clinging
Kenshin in a vain attempt to whether the oncoming storm brewing in her body.

Almost there, Kenshin decided. Now was the time if ever
there was one.

As the wonder of her first climax broke over Kaoru, Kenshin
positioned himself at her entrance and at the peak of her orgasm he entered her
in one swift thrust. Pain was lost in the swirl of her ecstasy as she screamed
his name and collapsed beneath him in a limp pool of spent afterglow.

Kenshin beamed down at her as she gasped and tried to still
her heart which seemed hell bent on escaping her chest if the way it was
hammering against her ribs was any kind of indicator.

�That was . . . � she panted, but
could find no words. �It was . . . can
we do that again?�

Kenshin grinned. �I�ll do that to you as much as your sanity
can stand.� He promised. �But right now we�re going to move onto something that
can be even better.�

�Oooo � Kaoru wrapped her legs around his hips. �Ready when you
are!�

Kenshin�s eyes fluttered shut as she pushed him deeper into
her wonderful, warm, wet . . . He swallowed, hard. Right now he wanted
nothing more than to cut loose and pound her into the tatami, to lose himself inside her forever, but he had to get a grip on
himself.

�Come on, Himura.� He told him. �You�re not some inept
teenager. You have self control. You . . .
god this good . . . dammit, focus
�

�Kenshin?� Kaoru�s voice was
hesitant. �Are you all right?�

He swallowed and smiled a strained smile. �Quite a bit
better than merely �all right�, I�m just having a little trouble with my self
control.� He panted. �You have no idea how exquisite it feels to have you
wrapped around me . . . � he gasped as Kaoru playfully
flexed her inner muscles around him. �Oh... my...kami � he whimpered and
nearly lost it right then and there.

�That was good?� she asked innocently.

�My . . . god, woman . . .
you are playing with fire here.� He warned her, with an undeniably dangerous
glint in his eyes.

Flames flickered in Kaoru�s cobalt colored eyes and she
arched her back so to press herself against him. �I�m waiting on you, darling.
I need you now.� She whispered. �Please?�

That was it. Kenshin�s self control fell away in ragged
tatters. He drove into her with all the force he could muster and was
immediately rewarded by Kaoru gasp of pleasure. He continued to ram into her,
withdrawing almost completely before pushing all the way in. Kaoru�s gasps and
moans rapidly escalated up the range into screams that were almost of out
Kenshin�s hearing range.

Then, climax was on them both, crashing over them and
leaving them shattered and spent in one another�s arms.

clasclass=MsoNormal>Kenshin barely had enough strength left in his limbs to drag
Kaoru�s discarded robe over them before he gathered her limp form into his
arms. Then, for the first time in years the need to sleep after sex consumed
him.

***

Kenshin awoke, several hours later, to the sound of a soft
foot step outside the door. He was one his feet in a single fluid motion that
somehow managed not to disturb Kaoru, and padded to the shoji to see what was
out there.

The veranda was deserted when he looked out, but the folded
futon and quilt in front of the room raid plenty about
who had left the gift. After another quick check to make sure no one was
watching, Kenshin gathered up the bedding and carried it inside.

Kaoru didn�t stir at all, not even when he picked her up and
laid her down on the futon, curled up beside her, and pulled the quilt over
them both.

When he awoke the second time, there were stars in the sky
and Kaoru was awake beside him.

�Good morning.� She said dreamily. �I think I like waking up
next to you.�

Kenshin answered with a half feral smile and gathered her in
for another mind-blowing kiss. Afterwards, Kaoru opened the shoji so they could
curl up under the quilt and watch the stars.

�Those stars remind me of your eyes.� Kenshin mused out loud
to his lover. �Perhaps when you were being created, the Kami took down a few and used
them?�

Kaoru chuckled at him. �You�re no poet, Kenshin. You don�t
have to try and be romantic. I love you just the way you are.� She gasped and
held a hand to her mouth. �I didn�t mean to say that!�

She dared a peek up at Kenshin�s face, to see if he was
shocked, disgusted, or any of the half a million things she expected him to be.
He wasn�t any of them, instead his eyes were blazing fit to outshine the sun
and she had never seen such a huge smile on his face.

�I admit, I�m not poet, Koishii.� he said
softly into her ear, with his warm breath gusting against che cheek. �But you
inspire me to be so many things, that I might as well turn poet as well.�

Kaoru smiled. �What do I inspire you to be?�

Kenshin smiled and held her tight. �A hero, an ordinary man,
a happy man, a husband, a father . . .
you make me want it all, Kaoru, because I love you.�

Kaoru gasped and her face turned pink, but there was not a
quaver in her voice when she answered him. �I love you too, Kenshin. I have for
a long time. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.�

They kissed again then and when they pull away there was
something suspiciously akin to tears glimmering in Kenshin�s eyes. �That�s good, koishii, because now that I have
you, I�m never letting you go again. This is forever.�

She nodded. �Forever.�
