Oh My Kenshin

"I don't need you, ya know. I can take care of myself." Groused Kaoru. Kenshin smiled and tended to the wash.
"I made a promise to your father." He replied. "I don't break my promises, that I don't."
"Just stay out of my way Batousai," Kaoru barked. Her father had taught her Kamiya Kasshin Style and by God, she was damn good at protecting herself, she screamed with her eyes rather than her mouth. She brushed past Kenshin.
"Where are you headed?"
"Anywhere else."
"Kaoru, don't make my job any harder than it has to be."
"Oh, I won't," she grimaced. "I'll make it easy for you Batousai. I'll do what the hell I want to do, and you'll-you'll deal with it!"
"Ugly girl, ugly mouth." Laughed Yahiko from the kitchen. Kaoru stormed off without another word. That Yahiko, she thought, was a bother, but one of her very last kamiya Kasshin students. She'd have him sweep the courtyard when she returned.
But for now, she just needed to breathe.
The nerve of the Batousai, she thought, for showing up and throwing a wrench in her ordinary life. And why'd he have to be so damn gorgeous? She shook the thought. What would Sano think if he knew that behind all the anger, was some strange, unyielding love for the sword wielding, former assassin.
Sano was like the big brother she never had and she'd spent weeks trying to convince him that what she and Kenshin had was a mutual dislike for one another and his position was still very safe.
But was it mutual? She could admit to liking Kenshin under all that toughness, but did Kenshin like her? The bastard was damn hard to read, she groaned.
Having to hate someone for so long was exhausting.
When kaoru got back, Yahiko was already at work, sweeping the courtyard.
"Doing things without being told?" Kaoru teased.
"Kenshin made me do it." Yahiko groaned.
Kenshin? No, making Yahiko work was the Batousai thing to do. They were two very different people after all. Kenshin was kind, while Batousai, the golden eyed fiend, was smart mouthed and intimidating.
But they were both so deliciously....sexy! Kaoru shook the thought.
Standing in the threshold, kaoru watched Kenshin. He was preparing dinner again tonight. Oh no, she thought, What would Sano think! She wouldn't be caught dead in some secondary position to Kenshin! Not in her own damn home.
"I've got this." She said. "I'll prepare dinner, Kenshin."
"But I insist Miss kaoru. You should rest."
This was kenshin, surely.
"I do the cooking around here, kenshin."
Sano walked in, and looked from Kenshin to Kaoru.
"What's for dinner?"
"Beef stew!" Said both kaoru and Kenshin.
"I see you two are getting along."
"Says who!" Barked kaoru.
"I've always liked Miss Kaoru." Said Kenshin, giving Kaoru an indifferent look. Batousai, kaoru thought. What the hell sort of look was that, anyway, she pondered.
God, those eyes! Those beautiful golden flecked Batousai eyes. Why'd he go and give her those damned batousai eyes!
"Fine Kenshin, you cook then! Your just so good at everything anyway!" Kaoru snapped, storming off again.
"I'll talk to her." Said Kenshin, tending to the Batousai, who was downright fed up with kaoru's childish behavior. He was only here to protect her after all.
When he finally got around to checking on Kaoru, he found her lying in bed near the open window, staring up at the ceiling like she often did when she was angry, except Kaoru had nothing to be angry about as far as he was concerned.
"May I come in Miss Kaoru?"
"We have nothing to talk about Kenshin." She layed there in her favorite, yellow kimono. Delicate little Kaoru, Kenshin thought. If she only knew just how breakable she really was.
Batousai charged in anyway.
"That is quite enough kaoru." He asserted.
"I didn't say you could come in Kenshin."
"I do what I please." Said Batousai. "And if you act like a child, I will treat you as such. Understand?"
That was a challenge, from Batousai, thought Kaoru. What nerve!
And he spoke in that low, guttural Batousai voice too, to top it all off.
"Don't talk to me that way Batousai." Said Kaoru, plucking Kenshin on the head. "And Kenshin, if your in there somewhere, get hold of your Batousai. He's gone and got ahead of himself."
Batousai got hold of kaoru's arm before she could slip away beside him. Not too rough, he reminded himself.
"We're not done here." Said Batousai.
Kaoru stared up at the him, wide eyed, and noted the emotion behind those golden flecked orbs. She couldn't quite pin point it.
"I am strong, Batousai. I don't need any man to protect me. I've been doing it all on my own for this long." She asserted. Sano always said that Kaoru was some sort of feminist. He'd never seen her show interest in any man, and made it his business to bring it up every chance he got.
Kaoru, the girl that's never been kissed.
Kaoru, the prude.
Sometimes, she questioned her own femininity. After all, if she was beautiful, men would want her, but no one ever showed any interest.
"Unhand me Batousai."
"You are strong Kaoru. I believe that you are." Said Kenshin. "But everyone needs help at some point."
It was something he'd taught Yahiko, the headstrong pickpocket from before he'd become one of her students.
"I just need some fresh air." Said Kaoru, pulling out of Kenshin's grip. At least he didn't manhandle her like her father use to when they sparred. And Sano. Sano could be a bit rough too, if he was angry enough at her.
"If air is what you need, open a window." Said the Batousai. "Dinner will be ready soon."
"I don't have to listen to you." Said Kaoru.
"I have no objections to putting you over my knee Miss Kaoru."
Was that kenshin? Kaoru pondered. It was unusual of kenshin to threaten her, that was the battosai's job. Right? She looked up at him in disbelief.
"Excuse me kenshin!"
"Dinner will be ready soon. You should check on the girls." He said with a smirk. He turned on his heel without giving a Kaoru a second glance. He was well aware that Kaoru was seething at his back. He would enjoy the pursuit. And anyway, she was so good at bringing out his Batousai. Too good. If he let the a Batousai take total control, he'd have no objections to putting little Kaoru in her place.
Yahiko and Sano were already at the table by the time Kenshin returned.
"Should I..." Said Sano.
"Everything is under control. Miss Kaoru is just a bit under the weather. Aren't you Miss Kaoru?"
Kaoru ignored him and took a seat at the table opposite him. If he wanted a power struggle, she pondered, he'd get just that.
"You alright Missy?" Asked Sano, concerned. He wasn't stupid. He noticed how odd she'd been acting since Kenshin came along. Kenshin, the mysterious guy with a shady past.
"I'm perfectly fine." Smiled Kaoru.
"Kenshin here says you've been sick."
"Oh, I've been sick alright. Sick of..." She held her tongue. It wasn't fair to get Yahiko and Sano involved in their skirmish.
Kenshin shrugged.
"You seemed sick Miss kaoru. And anyway, you should rest after dinner. I realize we haven't done much catching up since my return. We should catch up." Grinned the Battosai. "When the other are asleep of course."
Kaoru knew better than to ever be alone with the batousai, not when Kenshin had such a hard time keeping the two separated.
"We can catch up now." Said Kaoru.
"Yeah, I want to know all about you kenshin." Asserted Yahiko.
"I'd much rather speak to Miss Kaoru alone."
"I'd rather speak now. I'm sure the others wouldn't mind hearing about you too Kenshin."
The Batousai gave Kaoru a warning glance. Kaoru was all too familiar with that look- those golden orbs barely visible behind alabaster slits. It was the look he gave his enemies before the last, non- lethal blow. Kenshin was no longer a killer, but there was no doubt in her mind that he used to be.
And here she was, pissing him off on purpose.
"I use to kill people. I used to fuck women until they cried for me to stop." He looked up at Kaoru with golden flecked orbs. "If that's what you want to hear, I'm not that Kenshin anymore. I came here to fulfill a promise I made to Kaoru's father many years ago. A promise that I'd protect his only daughter with my life. He and I were good friends during the war. Like brothers."
"Sucks to have to protect a raccoon." said Yahiko, laughing.
"Yahiko, to your room." Said the Batousai.
"But, I was just kidding!"
"That isn't the way we talk to Miss Kaoru, who was gracious enough to lend us a home. Off to bed you go."
"Aw man..." Yahiko groaned.
"Wow Kenshin. Your tough and honest." Said Sano, leaning back in his chair. "Kaoru could use a man like you. "
Kaoru turned tomato red. She and Kenshin? Not in this lifetime.
"I think I'll go to bed now. I'm pretty tired." Said Kaoru.
"I'll handle the dishes Missy."
"Thank you Sano."
"Don't forget to open that window Ms. Kaoru. The fresh air will be good for you," said Kenshin. Kaoru huffed and gave Kenshin a dirty look. she was running out of dirty looks. Kenshin just ought to leave and never come back, she thought, annoyed.
Batousai groaned. He wanted so much to put Kaoru in her place. The little woman with a big mouth.
And she was all his.
When the dishes were done, Kenshin washed the rest of Kaoru's things and planned tomorrow's breakfast. He hadn't heard from Kaoru since dinner and got worried. She was usually in one of her moods, snapping at anyone came near, especially Yahiko, who pushed her buttons all the time.
"Ms. Kaoru, are you awake?"
"Kaoru left an hour ago Kenshin." Said Yahiko, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Kenshin pushed open her bedroom door and saw that her window was wide open, except that she wasn't asleep in bed as he'd hoped. He laughed under his breath, careful not the disturb the others and sent Yahiko off to bed.
Batousai smirked.
If she wanted a struggle, she'd get a struggle and Kenshin wouldn't be there to spare her.
