Chapter 14

Kaoru hissed as, several weeks later
when she was deemed fit to move around the flat again, even if she was to be
careful, the new maid pulled the strings on her corset. True, the doctor had told her to not wear the
damnable thing, but she was unable to wear any of her clothing other than her
nightdress without it.

�Miss, you should not be wearing
this. Your back is still not completely
healed.�

�Marie, you�re a dear for caring,
but I believe my back will be fine for the duration of the party. However, if I am late for tea, Mr. Himura
will call out the national guard!�

�Alright, Miss.� Then minutes of struggling with various
layers of embroidered cloth later, Kaoru entered the parlor. Conversation ceased, which puzzled her. She had been a courtesan, and technically was
still one, so why should she cause complete silence? Then, she saw Kenshin�s face; he looked
utterly stunned. As she had no idea of
her current appearance, his expression caused her a great deal of
consternation.

�Tell me, Kenshin,� said a man
sitting to his right, �where did you find her, how old is she, how much does
she charge, and why oh why is she with you, of all people? Last I heard, you had no interest in women.�

�Franc, would you have the grace and
presence of mind to kindly curb your tongue?�
Kenshin beckoned for Kaoru to sit on the sofa beside him, snaking an arm
around her waist as she sat, but easing up on the amount of pressure with which
he held her when she flinched slightly.
�If you must know, Franc, I hired Kaoru to entertain my guests over a
year ago. Due to unfortunate
circumstances, I had to let her go before my travels. Upon my return, I ran into her on the Pont
Neuf, to witness her being severely abused by her new employer. I offered her shelter here, as a friend, and
she has been here ever since.�

Franc smiled knowingly. Kenshin was not one to say it directly, and
most likely did not realize what his current actions were saying to the others
in the room. This woman was more than
just a friend. He was possessive of her,
however she most likely had enough spirit to combat his stubborn nature if he
had let her go.

The party continued without any more
disturbances. Kaoru played the piano,
the men talked, cigars were passed around after dinner, she played again�the
usual formalities at a business party.
It was a shame, she thought, that Kenshin had no apparent interest in
women. However, it did make the general atmosphere
less threatening. Her affection for him,
if it could be called that, was no les because of this fact. She sighed, rising from the bench. �Gentlemen, if has been a pleasure. However, the hour is late, and I must
retire. Good evening.� With that, she left the room and proceeded
down the hall to draw a bath and then go to sleep. He back had started to hurt, and she was
finding it difficult to breathe. It was
several hours before she could fall asleep, however. The sounds of lovemaking from the next room,
while something she was accustomed to hearing, generated images that haunted
her even in her dreams.

It was high noon by the time she
woke the next day, feeling far too lethargic to move. Pulling the pillow over her head, she tried
to fall asleep again, to no avail. Her head
had started to throb, and she knew that she�d had too much wine. The creak of the door opening alerted her to
the presence of someone else in the room; Kenshin, most likely, she thought. Yes, definitely Kenshin. The mattress shifted as he settled on it,
somewhere near the vicinity of her waist.

�Kaoru.� The only answer he received was a low
groan. �You should not have stayed up so
long. Not while you are still�� he was
cut off by a smacking him in the face.
As it fell, her face came into view, flushed with fury.

�Perhaps you could have taken that
into account when you bought gowns that could only be worn corseted!�

He smiled. Her enraged response was something he had
been looking forward to seeing again, as her lack of spirit had been unsettling. Of course, she would misinterpret his
expression.

�Oh, so I amuse you, do I? Well, I�m glad something does! You�re quite the bore in company, always
moping around.�

�I do not mope.�

�Alright then. Your pouting!�

�Nor do I pout, as you put it.�

�Oh yes you do. You stick out your lower lip, huff, and walk
around sullenly!� She suddenly went an
even darker shade of red, realizing the words that had escaped her mouth. Glowering, as though her mortification were
entirely his fault, she dove back under the covers, pulling another pillow over
her head in the process.

Kenshin chuckled. She was an amusing woman. Her vile temperament, for some reason, did
not grate on his nerves as much as it once had; she was a refreshing change
from the men he took to bed, and the simpering women he met at social
gatherings. Perhaps he really could
become friends with her after all. And,
as she was technically no longer in his employ, perhaps things would work out
better than they had with Jean.
