Chapter One _________________________________________________________________________________
Kenshin and Kaoru were in the market, buying food for the coming week.
"Are we almost done, Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin asked, smiling slightly at his
companion. It was times like this when he could have her to himself without Sanosuke and
Yahiko fighting in the background or the boy calling Kaoru 'ugly'. More often than not,
arguments broke out. In a strange way, it was wonderful. Yahiko was like a younger brother
to them all, Sanosuke an older brother and Kaoru was the sister. The family that Kenshin
had always dreamed about. Things were perfect...if only they would stay that way.
Kaoru turned from a stall as she heard Kenshin sigh in a melancholy way. "What's
wrong?" she asked him gently, studying him in concern. As expected, her red-haired
Rurouni gave her a cheerful smile, hiding his emotions. He did it often. Sometimes, she
really wished that he would open up to her. But they had time. Kenshin wasn't going to
leave her again. He'd promised her after Kyoto. And she'd make sure he kept it.
"Nothing is wrong, Miss Kaoru," he said softly, titling his head back to look
up at the blue sky.
"Kenshin..." she murmured, blue eyes disappointed. If only he would open up
to her!
"Yes, Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin asked, looking back at her in inquiry.
Kaoru sighed and shook her head, turning away. He wasn't ready to confide in her yet.
Would he ever be? Suddenly, her eyes spotted something and widened in delight. "Roses!
Roses, Kenshin!" she cried, rushing over to a stall. An old lady was there, patiently
sitting in a chair and waiting for her customers to come to her. There were flowers of all
sorts there in a myriad of colors, but it was the red roses that had caught Kaoru's gaze.
"Oh!" her hands fluttered over the roses, afraid to touch them. They were
beautiful!
The old lady smiled warmly at Kaoru's delighted features, then her eyes went to the
silent man standing behind her. He was smiling gently. "Would your lady like a
rose?" she asked the red-haired Rurouni.
Kaoru's eyes widened. "Oh no, I'm not-" she began, flustered.
"Oh, no, she's not-" Kenshin said hastily at the same time, looking just as
flustered. His violet gaze was stunned.
Kenshin and Kaoru gave the old woman mirroring expression of embarrassed amazement.
The old woman stared at Kaoru and then Kenshin for a long moment, then shook her head.
"It's not nice to lie to an old woman" she said admonishingly, handing a perfect
red rose to Kenshin to give to Kaoru.
"Oh, but, we're not..." Kaoru said in surprise, throwing a swift look at
Kenshin from under her lashes and wondering what he was thinking. He looked as embarrassed
and surprised as she did, but he also looked pensive. "How much do we owe
you?" Kaoru asked the lady, reaching for her purse. She didn't care what it cost! She
wanted the beautiful flower. If nothing else, to remind her that someone had thought that
she and Kenshin were together. An impossibility. Kenshin would never make the first move.
Kaoru wasn't even entirely sure what his feelings were to her. A sister? A friend? Or
something more?
"It's a gift" The old woman shook her head again and turned away. "And
it's quite obvious she's yours, young man." she threw over her shoulder.
"Denying it won't change the truth"
Kenshin looked at Kaoru and she looked at him, then flushed brightly.
["Mine?"] Kenshin thought, as they turned to walk away. Was it so obvious
that his Battousai side had claimed her?
They collected the tofu and then left the markets, heading back through town towards
the Kamiya Dojo. Both were silent, lost in their own thoughts.
Kaoru's expression was wistful as she stared down at the rose in her hands. ["If
only the old woman's words had been right. How I wish I were Kenshin's
lady..."]
["I must be more careful"] Kenshin thought, eyes far away. He shifted the
packages in his arms absently, walking slowly beside Kaoru. He threw her a curious look
and noted that her eyes were fixed on the flower. What was she thinking? Was she
embarrassed? He really had no idea how Kaoru felt for him. Yes, she was affectionate. Yes,
she had come after him in Kyoto. Yes, she let him live with her and she enjoyed his
company. But what did she really think of him as? A brother? A friend?
Perhaps...more? He sighed deeply. His Battousai side had claimed Kaoru from the moment
Kenshin had set eyes on her. Something inside him had roared in triumph at their meeting
and it had taken all the Rurouni's strength to keep the Battousai from kissing
her. For a few moments, there had been a silent struggle as he stared at the girl who had
pointed her bokken at him, eyes flashing defiantly. She had been magnificent!
"Kenshin?" Kaoru said, turning her face to look at her companion. Her eyes
widened a little at the look on his face. He was deeply troubled about something. There
were also amber flecks swirling in the violet depths of his gaze that made her wonder
exactly what he was thinking about. Kyoto? His life as a Rurouni? Did he regret coming
back to the Dojo with her? She bit her lip. ["If only I could read his mind! But
those eyes of his are deliberately deceptive!"] her blue eyes narrowed. He hid his
emotions too well. Behind that gentle gaze, he could have been thinking anything. Anything
at all.
"Yes, Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin started, eyes clearing as he met her gaze. He
blinked. She looked almost angry! "Are you alright?" he asked softly, wondering
what was troubling her.
"I-why don't you ever talk to me?" she blurted out. She clapped a hand to her
mouth in shock, eyes wide and startled.
"Talk to you?" Kenshin echoed. He paused on the bridge they were crossing and
turned fully to face her. "I'm confused by your question, that I am." he
admitted, freeing one hand from the packages to scratch at his head in bewilderment.
"About anything." she emphasized, deliberately turning and walking
again so that he would be made to follow.
"Have I done something to offend you?" Kenshin asked her, hurrying to catch
up. Kaoru was now angry, instead of wistful. Her emotions switched like lightening
sometimes!
"Oh Kenshin!" she groaned, exasperated. Why was it whenever she tried to talk
to him seriously, he thought he'd done something wrong! "Never mind" she told
him, lowering her head and studying the road.
Kenshin fell behind a little and looked at her stiff back, wondering what had brought
this on. She was upset and angry about something and he really had no clue what it was. It
was frustrating. He sighed deeply. Perhaps he did not know Kaoru as well as he thought.
She was not cheerful today, that she was not. And it had been since the rose. His head
tilted to the side as he considered what had occurred. Kaoru must be upset that the old
woman had said that Kaoru was his. That must be it.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru's voice was hushed.
The hair on the back of Kenshin's neck stirred as he felt something wrong and his head
shot up. Kaoru was standing outside the Dojo gates, which were standing wide open. She too
had sensed that something was wrong.
"Someone is inside" Kaoru whispered, stepping closer to the Rurouni. Her
hands tightened on the rose, eyes firming. Someone had broken into her Dojo! How dare
they! "Hold this!" she told Kenshin, tossing the rose at him.
Kenshin's eyes widened and he dropped the packages accidentally in order to rescue the
rose she'd flung at him so haphazardly. Even if Kaoru thought him a brother, that rose
meant something to him. A splash across his feet reminded him of the tofu and he groaned.
That would leave a mess, that it would. But he didn't even spare a glance, mind going
again to the raven-haired girl who had run so impetuously inside. "Miss Kaoru,
wait!" he called out, placing the rose swiftly on top of the pile of packages and
racing after the girl. It was dangerous! Why did she have to be so impetuous all the time?
And why did he love her for it? He groaned to himself, running after her disappearing
figure as she entered the house. ["Definitely not brotherly thoughts"] he
entered seconds behind her and came face to face with four men, all heavily armed. Kaoru
was struggling in the arms of one of them and Kenshin's eyes hardened. "Release Miss
Kaoru." he demanded.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru cried out, trying to kick the man. Damn it! Why hadn't she
been more careful! They'd taken her completely off guard.
He pinned her wrists together and leered at her. "Now, now cutie. Just stay quiet
and me and my men here won't have to hurt you."
"I suggest you let her go, that I do." Kenshin said, hands out placatingly.
He would not draw his sword unless he had to. These were obviously common robbers.
"There's nothing here to take!" Kaoru told them, still struggling futilely.
"Stop that!" The man growled, releasing one hand from her wrist to slap her
sharply across the face.
Kaoru gasped. The slap had been more of a firm warning than meant to inflict pain.
Kenshin bit the inside of his lip, struggling with himself. Battousai wanted free!
These men had dared to hurt Kaoru! "Release her," he repeated, his deepening
slightly. His eyes became flecked with amber as the man holding Kaoru dragged her after
him, past Kenshin. "Miss-" Kenshin began, turning.
Another robber thrust a knife at Kenshin's chest and rested the blade there
threateningly. "Can I kill him, boss?" he called after the man with Kaoru.
"Not yet. Bring him." The Leader called out, dragging a struggling Kaoru
across the courtyard and into the Dojo.
["What are they doing?"] Kaoru thought in astonishment as she was forced into
the center of the room. She looked swiftly for Kenshin as she sensed more people enter the
Dojo. The three robbers entered, flanking Kenshin.
"Hey, boss, he has a sword" One of the robbers said, squinting at Kenshin's
hip.
["They only just noticed?"] Kaoru thought, gaping slightly. Idiots!
Kenshin stopped a few meters from Kaoru, when the robbers motioned for him to stop.
"Are you alright, Miss Kaoru?" he asked her gently, a hand going to his sword
hilt reflexively. His fingers clenched over it, wanting to draw the blade. No! These men
had not endangered Kaoru's life yet. He suspected that they were all talk and that was all
that saved them.
"I'm fine, Kenshin." She smiled at him bravely.
"Then take it off him, fool!" The Leader yelled at his men. "Give them
your sword," he said to Kenshin, voice slightly whining.
"I would not recommend it, that I would not." Kenshin told the three robbers
in a quiet voice. They hesitated as they sensed something about the red-haired man.
Something dangerous, despite his calm expression.
"This wasn't supposed to happen!" Another robber said, glancing from one
person to another. "No one was supposed to be here!"
"Give yourself up," Kenshin said helpfully, relaxing slightly. Were these men
so new to robbing that they really had no idea what to do with hostages?
"Throw down your sword or we kill the girl." The Leader said nervously,
trying to look serious. He'd obviously never killed before and had not expected Kenshin to
resist when asked for his sword.
"Let her go." Kenshin almost pleaded, scared for Kaoru's life. These men were
not too bright, but they would probably kill if put into that position. Cowards! Faint
amber flickered into his eyes and his hand tightened around the sword.
"Don't do it, Kenshin!" Kaoru told him, biting down on the man's hand. He
yelped and then smacked her across the face.
"Miss Kaoru!" Kenshin growled, eyes bursting into golden fire. Her
lip was bleeding. For the first time in years, he felt an overwhelming urge to flip the
blade of his sword over and butcher every man there. How dare they hurt her!
The robber placed the point of his dagger in the hollow of her throat and pushed until
a trickle of blood appeared and slid down her throat.
Kaoru gasped in pain.
That was it! The Battousai completely emerged from inside Kenshin and he
flipped the blade over, getting into an attack stance.
The robbers shifted in uneasily.
Battousai smiled. He could smell their fear; and it was delicious. "Are you ready
to die?" he said silkily.
"Kenshin, no!" Kaoru cried out, seeing that her Rurouni's eyes were
completely golden. And he'd flipped his sword over...which means he was intending to kill.
"Don't do this!" her eyes filled with tears as Kenshin's amber eyes met hers.
There was an animalistic hunger in their depths that both thrilled and frightened her.
This was a side to Kenshin that she rarely saw. Even though she was being held captive,
knife at her throat, she felt a curl of excitement zing through the pit of her stomach at
the raw power Kenshin was radiating.
She was excited! Battousai's eyes narrowed into slits as he sniffed at the air, drawing
it into his lungs. His nice sweet Kaoru was excited. By him! He filed
this away for future use and smiled slowly. "This won't take long, Kaoru."
He didn't call her 'miss' Kaoru, which they both noticed absently.
"Kenshin! Don't do this!" She became desperate as Kenshin's sword
went back into it's sheath and he prepared to attack.
"Smart move," The robbers snickered to themselves, thinking Kenshin had done
as they said. They were too stupid to notice the homicidal rage in the red-haired
man's eyes, or note the possessiveness with which he gazed at the woman. "Now, throw
the lot away." The robber added, nodding at the scabbard and sword at Kenshin's hip.
They had touched something that was his. And they would die for that.
Battousai's smile grew. Fools. They would die and not even know why. His hand
crept over to hover over the hilt, moving side-on to the robber that was holding Kaoru.
"Kenshin! Kenshin!" Kaoru yelled, panicking. She wasn't getting
through to him! "Battousai!" she shouted.
Battousai froze.
The robbers suddenly went deathly pale and the knife at Kaoru's neck faltered.
"B-Battousai?" The main robber stuttered in horror.
"The Manslayer?" Another choked out, backing away.
"The very same," Battousai purred at them in vicious satisfaction. Their fear
permeated the air. It was as intoxicating as Kaoru's desire for him. She would try to hide
it once he had killed the men and freed her. Battousai threw Kaoru a heated look that made
her flush brightly. He would not let her hide it.
"Battousai-if you kill them, I'll never forgive you." Kaoru choked out, a
tear running down her cheek. If he killed, her Kenshin would be gone! She wanted him and
his dark side, but if he killed, he would be forever lost. Her gentle Rurouni would be
gone forever. And he would leave her, she knew. Kaoru was not dark enough to be by
Battousai's side. She shook her head, then focused on Kenshin and saw him regarding her
with an indecipherable expression.
She would never forgive him. Battousai hesitated for the first time in his life and
regarded her with mixed emotions. Was she worth betraying his very nature for? His eyes
kindled as he stared intently into hers. Then, he nodded slowly. Yes, she was worth it.
"Very well," he said, speaking to both Kaoru and the robbers, but on different
levels. He smiled slightly as he pulled out the sword and scabbard from his waist and
threw them far to the side. "But we will be finishing this...later."
Kaoru flushed brightly, even as she relaxed. Oh god! The way he was looking at
her! Like he'd like to devour her!
"Alright," said the incredibly afraid robber. He was glad that this woman had
so much power over the Manslayer-or they would be laying on the floor dead right now.
Gutted or be-headed. "Ah-okay!" his eyes brightened as he got an idea.
"Strip." he told them.
Battousai's eyes flashed with rage and he growled low. They wanted his Kaoru naked?
He'd rather rip their heads from their shoulder with his bare hands! He did not need a
sword to kill!
"We won't look!" Another robber said hastily, covering his eyes.
"We just want you to strip so that we can tie you together," the first robber
went on anxiously, afraid for his life. The way that red-haired Battousai was glaring at
him was enough to give him nightmares for the remainder of him life...which he suspected
would be exactly 10 minutes after the Battousai got free of the ropes. He was a dead man.
To Be Continued...
