Part II

Another chapter, eh?
I wasn�t really planning on it, but meh.
I actually had some ideas. Part
of why I don�t want to pursue it is because it can only end tragically. Kaoru leaves, Enishi, broken, wanders into
exile. They can love as fiercely as they
may, but I don�t know if I could bring myself to diverge from the actual
storyline. But it would just break my
heart to not have them be together. I
don�t like leaving on an angsty note even if stuff in between gets torrid. And my fanfiction tendency is pretty
devotedly E/K, I must say.

If you have strong feelings either way. . . I�ll take them
into consideration. I might write more
on this, might not. Come on people! How about picking up on E/K and writing some
delicious smut? Ne? Ne?
^___^

Disclaimer: Hm. . .
nope. . . I still don�t own Rurouni Kenshin.

�There are no more heroes!�
Enishi yelled at her, dragging a hand through his hair. �Just varying shades of villainy.�

Kaoru thought about slapping him, but instead she recoiled
as if he had slapped her with more
than just words. �There is hope, and
love, and in those we can find heroism.�

�Lies.� He
disregarded the words he wanted to hear from her so badly. What would he do if she agreed with him? If she did, he might just have to kill them
both to end the misery. �Your faith in
others won�t do you any good. A false
construction and the product of a weak logical process.�

When the hurt in her eyes reflected continued disbelief,
Enishi wanted to smile as if she had saved him.
But that wasn�t possible. He was
too far gone, and she was too steeped in the fruits of human kindness to
understand what blood on your hands and the desecration of your family can take
from you. It was tempting to add that it
was the only thing that his hated enemy Himura actually shared with Enishi, but
he preferred to keep as much distance from that man as possible. Empathy was too dangerous an emotion for a
killer.

�Feelings are more real than you think they are; they can
consume you. I believe what I believe
not because I don�t know better, but because I know that you can�t define all
emotion with logic. Someday you�ll
understand that Enishi. Love doesn�t
make sense.�

She remembered the argument well. Kaoru would never forget it, from the moment
she huffed her last sentence to the way she threw the covers from her body and,
naked, stomped back to the room she had occupied before the move down the hall. Ideas had been torn from her than she didn�t
know she possessed. It was just too much
to let him sit there smugly tearing apart her faith in humanity. She wanted him to see there was more to it
then that. . . . to her. He wanted
something unbreakable, solid against the test of time and other people, but
what made Kaoru more able to function on a human level than him was the
knowledge that nothing would ever be that definite. People disappointed you. It would just happen. Forgiveness was what perpetuated hope. She could even forgive Enishi.

Despite his pig headedness.

Despite him not talking to her all the next day.

�Jerk.�

The bed which had seemed perfectly acceptable before now
seemed small and lonely with no one beside her.
It was a stupid idea, this tryst, and the longer it went on, the harder
time of it she had to separate her emotions from her actions. She wanted
to sleep with Enishi. She wanted to touch him and to have him
touch her back. She wanted to see him when she woke up.

But these wants could just as easily be needs and needs were driven by those same unstable emotions that
determined the course of most of her reactions.
The rain of that day they had first come together had been replaced by
the short bursts of rain that accompanied the rest of the storm front that was
passing through. Maybe it was just the
craziness of the weather. That could be
just as good an explanation as any for her own insanity.

The door creaked, and Enishi stood there in loose pants and
a tank top. He looked as if he had been
up for some time now, and Kaoru feigned sleep with the simple shutting of her
eyelids. There was no more noise in the
next minute or two but she felt him mere centimeters away, heat radiating,
before he withdrew again. She was
tempted to smile, but held back. If he
wasn�t going to talk to her then she very well wasn�t going to be the one to
relent just to make him feel better.
Forgiveness was one thing she had in spades, but also a stubborn streak
a mile wide and a fathom deep.

Then his hand passed through her hair gently and rested on
her forehead before removing itself and being replaced by his lips in a soft
kiss. Did he know she was awake? The way he ran his hands over her body, she
wondered. Gently he outlined the curve
of her hip and the sleek narrowing of her leg before moving back up.

�Kaoru.� He murmured
it, in the vague way that didn�t imply he expected to be answered. She was trying so hard not to flinch that she
simply had to move, so she screwed up her face and made a little noise before
turning to the side a little.

He was still and she wondered if he had left when she felt
the bed sink near her waist where he had sat down. �I don�t know if I want them to find
you.� Her body stiffened and she willed
it to relax, but soon she could pretend sudden awakened alertness when he laid
down and pulled her into him.

�What?� Try to act
confused, she told herself.

�Quiet. I need my
sleep.� His high handed tone forced
bilious anger past the generalized goodwill she�d had up until now.

�What?�

Rather than let Kaoru struggle away from the spooning
position he had forced upon them in the small bed, he simply pinned her arms to
her side and reached over to cup her breasts.
Enishi enjoyed the way that she protested vocally but responded
physically.

�Stop that. I thought
you said you needed to sleep.�

�This is better.�

�I�ll bet, but you�re getting neither in this bed so leave
me alone.�

After a quick consideration of options, Enishi climbed out
of the bed. Kaoru was astounded that he
had actually listened to her. Then she
found herself lifted bodily from the bed, legs kicking, and thrown over his
shoulder only to be hauled back down the hallway. After a moment, rather than be dropped
(knowing Enishi�s abrupt and rather literal sense of humor) she just went limp
and thought about what the next plan of attack would be.

His butt looked remarkably good in orange, even just in
moonlight, she could tell.

Thought pattern cut short, Kaoru hit the mattress with an
�oof� and was nearly smothered as Enishi placed himself on top of her. Instead of the arousing touches she had
expected to be assaulted with, instead he began to tickle her. There was no way to fight against tactics
this dirty. Kaoru screamed and yelped in
near pain as her body tried to contort away from his dexterous fingers.

�Do you surrender?�

�I. . . bwee!. . .
stop!. . . I didn�t. . . . augh!. . . realize we were battling!�

�I want an unconditional surrender.�

�He he. . . NEVER!�
Kaoru did the only thing she could think of, she grabbed his head with
one hand and brought his mouth down over hers.
Since it was open from her gasping laughter, her tongue naturally found
its way past his lips. Enishi�s busy
hands didn�t halt, but they slowed as he massaged her lower back underneath the
sheet that had been her only claim to decency (Kaoru found wearing her robe all
the time was just too gross) and began a new battle for dominance with his own
tongue. She pulled back and his head
tried to dart forward to make up the difference.

�Surrender.� She
demanded huskily, and when his eyes narrowed she forced them to close all the
way in sudden ecstasy as she stroked him through his pants, forcibly
intensifying his semi-erect member into a more full state.

�What are the terms?�

Kaoru was suspicious of his sudden capitulation and she
wasn�t sure she wanted to make any requests lest he make her wish a living
nightmare. So she chose to make no
choice whatsoever.

�What are you willing to offer me?�

Clearly, he liked this answer, because silently he smiled at
her with bright eyes and unwrapped the rest of the sheet from her. Kaoru was curious enough to let him, and soon
she was watching with a partially worried and partially worshipful expression
as his tongue moved from her mouth down her chest, past her stomach, and
towards her middle, where her legs opened for him automatically. Not content to go all the way to her core
just yet, Enishi lavished some attention on her collarbone, lining the graceful
arches with his lips and exploring the hollows with his tongue. The valley between her breasts was next as he
wandered from one peak to the other and tried to discover which one he liked
conquering more. His nose ran down the
line between her ribs and his breath tickled the soft hair of her belly but
Kaoru felt no inclination to laugh.
Enishi planted a kiss onto her bellybutton and with no further ado moved
down and slowly licked up her nether lips before parting them with care using
his fingers. Kaoru, who up until now had
been trying to keep a tight rein on her response let out a caressing moan.

�Enishi. . .� Which
was enough to spur him into making contact with that bud of feeling that
throbbed in expectation. After her
initial jerk of surprise, he merely fastened his lips over her and sucked and
licked in turns. When straining at the
bed became unfulfilling, she grabbed the western style headboard and pulled,
forcing Enishi to move with her up the bed.
Kaoru couldn�t feel anything except for the wet, soft pulsing of his
rhythmic caress. She didn�t really start
to go crazy, however, until he inserted two fingers into her and pumped in and
out in time to the passes against her nub that seemed to be swelling up to meet
him. �Oh Enishi. . .� Her voice went silent as she gasped and shook
her appreciation of his attentions in a seizure of breathless orgasmic
pleasure.

Looking smugger then ever, Enishi rolled off of her and
pulled himself to lie next to her as she forced her hands to let go of their
white knuckled death grip on the headboard.
�Are they acceptable terms?� She
just laughed at him.

�Consider this a yes.�
Kaoru leaned over and easily undid the drawstring to withdraw him from
the loose pants. His hands moved over
her arms, as if anticipating their movement, but what encountered the tip of
his stiff member was her moistened lips and inviting mouth. She believed in reciprocity, and one good
turn deserved another, even if she was still angry at him from an official
point of view. Enishi�s muscles corded
and she patted the tight hands at her arms to get them to let go as well as to
warn him of their painful pressure. The
slight smile and the flicker of his eyelids showed her that he was still with
her, but his control of being severely tried.
Fine with her, it was arousing to think that this fiendish mobster was
in her power. Her skin still glowed from
sweat after his attention to her before and she placed one slick hand at the
base of his member while she concentrated her efforts around the tip once
again.

Kaoru thought she heard her name through the heady rush of her
efforts, and once she smiled reflexively and moved her lips over him in that
much more of a provocative manner, he had no more patience for this
torture. Nearly by the hair, feral in
his need, Enishi pulled her up to his face and crushed his lips to hers, biting
down harder than he knew and driving his swelling erection into her without
warning. Her body, still wet and well
prepared from her previous release, welcomed him with only a slightly
complaining stretch. Slightly shocked,
Kaoru went still, and only to this did Enishi finally respond like a human to.

�Did. . . is it. . .?�
He noted her swollen lip and ran his tongue over the red marks his
incisors had left. The insecurity of a
moment ago vanished like the aberration it was.
As Enishi moved inside of her, he forced himself to stay in the moment
by studying her face closely and speaking in a careful voice. �What if I said you were never leaving this
island?�

Even through the musty and glossed over feeling of reality
that the friction of him inside of her was causing, Kaoru still fought back out
of instinct to his words. �I would
escape.�

Rather than amuse him, as she half expected, this
information only enraged him. Enishi
flipped them over, caging her in as he kept their bodies connected, and bored
into her with the intensity of his searching eyes and sneering mouth. �You can�t.
You�re mine until I choose to
let you go.�

�And when will that. . . uh. . . be?� She tried to sound furious, but it was
difficult as her treacherous body clenched around him.

He didn�t speak to her, simply smiled in that mean way he
had and mercilessly pumped into her body.
Their mutual fury added an almost frantic edge to their clutching and desperate
bodies as they mutually sought release.
By the time they got to it, mindless in their devotion to one another�s
bodies, arguments of time or placement were the furthest thing from their
minds. It was much more convenient to
set everything aside for a new day, and a fresh batch of energy for what would
no doubt be a champion shouting match.

Kaoru, already tired, fell asleep fairly quickly, while
Enishi was left to lie awake next to her and admire the forming bruises on her
neck and body that his mouth had left with such admiring consideration. He hadn�t counted on a few things this
evening. The sex he had anticipated, but
her enthusiastic efforts to taste him had been particularly unexpected and
nice. That was one thing. The rest of it eclipsed his strange new
feelings of anger when she had spoken of leaving.

And rejection.

And fear.

Neither of which he had felt in a long time and didn�t
particularly want to confront right now when his very existence was staked on
his inner poise and retention of pure righteous judgment. But what he had brought up just to get a rise
out of her, as he knew it would, was proving to be a strangely significant
statement. What if she never left? Did he
even want that, and if he did, then why?
Knowing his own motivations was only part of what gave him an edge upon
his competition. If he couldn�t discern
his own over a simple girl then who knew what else he was clouding from
himself.

He just wouldn�t examine it.
It was better to let it go, to rest and think it out when his mind was
clear and his senses sharp, rather than filled with. . . Kaoru.

�As long as I want you. . .� he murmured in belated response
to her query as he settled around her warm body to sleep.

Kaoru woke up slowly, remembering that she needed to
remember something. The long arm thrown
over her waist casually led to a fond smile and then a rush of imagery. The things she�d done. . . The things he�d said. . .

A frown creased her forehead.

�You! Wake up! I�m mad at you.� She elbowed him in the chest and got a grunt
for her trouble.

Enishi opened one eye, took in the puffed out cheeks and
swollen lip of the woman who looked very ready to lecture him, and then closed
his eye again and simply held onto her tighter so she wouldn�t have room to
elbow him. Kaoru thrashed and threw out
a few mild expletives, but only earned a hush chuckle from the direction of her
captor.

�I really hate you right now.�

�Mmm. I can see
that.�

�Let me get up.�

�I see no reason to.
I don�t need breakfast yet, there�s nothing pressing that needs to be
done, and I�m perfectly happy to stay right here while the morning cold eases
off.�

Kaoru sighed and he felt her rib cage expanding under his
arms. �And I suppose what I want doesn�t
enter in to your possibilities?�

�Hm.� He pretended to
think about. �No.�

The struggles began anew.

�If I promise to get you fabric before next week, would you
just stop moving and let me rest?�

Kaoru considered for a moment. �Is that a bribe?�

�Yes.�

�Then I accept.�

The smile that spread across his face was wider and more genuine
than any he had had in the past decade or more.
