Chapter Four _________________________________________________________________________________
Battousai and Kaoru stared at each other for a long moment and
then Kaoru shook her head slightly. She didn't want to do this now. Not after he'd almost
lost control of himself right in front of Yahiko and Sanosuke.
Battousai's brow rose. No? Clearly Kaoru was wary of playing with
him after his near-loss of control. He nodded back slightly, calming. He adjusted his
chopsticks and began to eat from his bowl, eyes returning to a gentle purple. He regretted
going so far and wondered how one small woman could make bring out his dark side so
easily, when he had never showed it to his wife, Tomoe. Tomoe had met him when he was
still Battousai and her gentle way had made him rethink his life. And when she had
died...his eyes closed in remembered grief. No, he would go slower with Kaoru, no matter
the provocation.
"So, can we eat now?" Yahiko said snidely,
rolling his eyes. Kenshin seemed very relaxed now and the room seemed a lot less tense
than it had been. The robbers had been damn lucky that Battousai had not gone after them
if Kenshin was still that furious over the incident, even after Sanosuke had taken care of
them!
Sanosuke smacked Yahiko over the back of the head for his
tactlessness. He shook his head. The boy had no idea what was going on around
him! And luckily too. Yahiko wouldn't understand why Kenshin was trying to seduce Kaoru.
"Just eat, you little monster," he said under his breath, smiling fondly.
"I have classes this afternoon," Kaoru suddenly said,
breaking the small silence that had built while they ate.
Kenshin looked up from his bowl inquiringly. "Will you be
home for dinner, Miss Kaoru?" he asked inquiringly.
Kaoru gave Kenshin a strange look. How this man could go from
passionate to gentle in minutes was just scary! She'd need to talk to him; and
soon. Could she really let him seduce her? And unmarried girl with no father and
mother to protect her? Most of the town knew them and were aware that the man living with
her and the freeloader who hung out there, were only friends...but still, they did
talk. It would be pretty obvious, if she let Battousai go ahead with his plan, that
something had changed between them. She should make Kenshin marry her! She smiled
evilly. Wouldn't that make him blush! Or maybe he would say yes? She looked up to
the man of her thoughts and met his curious gaze. "Yes, I'll be home for
dinner," she said quickly, flushing.
"I'll send Yahiko for tofu then," Kenshin said quietly,
eyes narrowing on Kaoru's red face. What on earth had she been thinking? About him? About them?
Perhaps, then, he had not been pushing her too much. Kaoru was very passionate and he was
quite aware that she had feelings for him that went beyond mere lust. Perhaps it was love?
He should ask her to marry him.
Kenshin looked down at his chopsticks pensively. Yes, perhaps he
should ask her to marry him before he went further with her-
"What are you thinking about, Kenshin?" Kaoru asked
abruptly, wondering why he seemed so deep in thought.
"Just considering something, that I was," Kenshin
replied with a secretive smile, eyes moving over her form. Kaoru would make a beautiful
bride.
Kaoru bit her lip at his once-over. But his eyes remained purple,
so she was sure it wasn't lustful thoughts.
"What about?" Sanosuke asked around a mouthful. His
brown eyes went from Kenshin to Kaoru and back. It was hard to believe, seeing them now,
that only minutes before Battousai had broken free. Kenshin was apparently back in full
control.
"The washing," Kenshin blurted out the first thing that
came to mind. The three gave him a weird look and he sighed. They would never understand
that when he washed, he was actually cleaning his hands of all the blood from his past. He
felt...cleaner when he did the clothing and is was also very soothing.
"That's stupid!" Yahiko said, groaning. "You have
to be the only guy alive who likes women's work!"
"Yahiko!" Kaoru growled, anger filling her.
That boy was so annoying! "If you're finished with breakfast, then you can
do two hundred strokes!"
Yahiko stuck his tongue out, sniffing. He pushed his empty bowl
away and stood. "I was going to anyway, Ugly!"
"Three hundred," Kaoru said sweetly.
"You old hag!" Yahiko shouted, glaring at her.
"Five hundred," Kenshin said, raising his calm
eyes to the boy's face. He did not like the way Yahiko addressed Kaoru, that he did not!
Yahiko gaped at the red-haired man, then groaned and stomped from
the room. "Now Kenshin's ganging up on me!"
Sanosuke grinned at them both. "Nice going Kenshin," he
approved.
Kenshin turned his eyes to the taller man. "And you can
clean the deck," he said quietly.
Sanosuke and Kaoru gaped in shock.
"Huh?" Kaoru said intelligently, blue eyes wide. Was
Kenshin serious? That free-loader cleaning?
"Kenshin!" Sanosuke yelped, eyes boggling. "You
can't be serious!"
"Oh, I'm serious alright," Kenshin said, purple eyes
glinting with a hint of gold. Rurouni was dead serious. "You don't do anything around
here and Miss Kaoru goes out to work so that we can all eat, that she does," he said
firmly. He placed his chopsticks on the table and pushed away his empty bowl. Both Yahiko
and Sanosuke would be helping around, as of then. He would not have his future
wife doing all the work!
Sanosuke saw how serious Kenshin was by both his expression and
the hint Battousai in his eyes. What the hell had brought this on? He glanced at Kaoru to
see her pole-axed expression. She obviously had no idea what Kenshin was up to
either! "Alight," he said grudgingly, getting to his feet. "Thanks for the
food," he added as an after-thought, backing away from the table. One just didn't
mess with Kenshin when he was in this mood!
"There's a bucket and mop in the Dojo," Kaoru said
faintly, still staring at Kenshin in incredulity. What on earth was her Rurouni up to now?
It was clearly him from the gold-flecked eyes. Her Rurouni. She blinked several times and
then smiled. Yes, he was hers. Battousai had stacked a claim on her, so she could do the
same! And if another woman even looked at him, she'd have her eyes scratched out! Her
expression darkened. That included Megumi too!
Rurouni's eyes widened in surprise at the possessive look Kaoru
had on her face. She was looking at him, but her eyes were distant, as if she were
thinking of something that angered her greatly. Kaoru--possessive? He smiled mischievously
as Sanosuke left the room without another word. "What are you thinking, Kaoru?"
he said silkily, forgetting to add the 'Miss' before her name. She just wasn't a 'Miss'
any more to him.
Kaoru blinked rapidly, focusing on the red-haired man's face. Oh
no, he must have seen some of her thoughts on her face! She turned slowly red and his
mischievous smile widened. "N-nothing!" she stammered, reaching out to collect
the bowls from the table. Rurouni's hand reached out and captured hers swiftly, a finger
stroking over her palm.
"What were you thinking?" he prompted quietly, curious
about what she'd been thinking. What could have caused her to look so possessive of him?
Him with another woman? He frowned lightly. "You don't have to worry," he
murmured, eyes gentling into a soft purple.
"What?" Kaoru gasped, eyes locking on his. Did he
mean...? His finger stroking her skin was very distracting and she swallowed.
"About other women," Kenshin said, not beating around
the bush. As she gasped, he released her hand and began to gather the bowls for her. She
sat there frozen with a stunned look in her eyes as he rose with the bowls and took them
over to the counter to clean.
She didn't have to worry about other women? Was he serious? Had
her face been that transparent? Kaoru blushed bright red in embarrassment, rising swiftly
to her feet. "I have to go change and leave!" she blurted out, rushing from the
room and leaving him with the cleaning. She had to think about this! Kenshin saying baldly
that she didn't need to worry about his interest going to other women hinted at something
deeper than lust. Was it possible that he...wanted to marry her too?

_________________________________________________________________________________
It began to rain furiously during Kaoru's last session with a
student. She said her good-bye's and walked out into the wet and was drenched in seconds
from the deluge. "Damn! I should have brought an umbrella!" she said angrily,
beginning to run. Of course, it had not looked as if it was going to rain that morning, so
she couldn't have done anything anyway! She ran through the town, feeling miserable. She
was soaking and wanted a bath more than anything. Why hadn't Kenshin come with an umbrella
as he had in the past when it rained? She ground her teeth. Maybe he was angry with her
for the incident at breakfast? Kenshin wouldn't have been, but Battousai was another
matter altogether. He wouldn't intentionally hurt her, but he would let her get a little
wet to teach her a lesson. She groaned, turning the corner and spotting the Dojo. Almost
there!
As she reached the gates, they opened and Kenshin stood there, an
umbrella over his head. He didn't look angry; just concerned. Kaoru sighed in relief.
Battousai hadn't been out to teach her a lesson after all. How could she had thought her
gentle Kenshin would ever do that to her? "Stupid, Kaoru," she muttered,
stepping closer to him.
"I sent Yahiko after you with an umbrella," Kenshin
said sheepishly, a hand to the back of his head.
Kaoru grinned at him, shaking the drops of water from her head.
"Well, I guess he went the wrong way. An besides, I should have checked to see if the
sky had any rain-clouds when I left," she said just as sheepishly.
Kenshin's eyes inevitably slid down Kaoru's soaking wet form. He
had promised himself that he would go more gently towards her, since the incident at the
breakfast table, but he honestly couldn't stop himself! His purple eyes swept over her
damp form from head to toe and then back again with excruciating inch by inch. He smiled
slowly. "You're wet."
"Yes, Kenshin! How observant!" Kaoru snapped in
exasperation, rolling her eyes. But then her eyes met his and she actually saw
the gold as it appeared in the violet depths. She hastily looked down at herself and
gasped. Her gi was almost transparent! "Kenshin!" she yelped, hastily covering
her chest with her arms. Against her will, her body began to respond to his lascivious
expression and his tone of voice.
Kenshin's smile widened into a Rurouni smile of mischief and
appreciation as he smelt her sudden arousal. "Veeeeeery wet," he purred in
satisfaction, amused at his double entendre. He suddenly stepped closer to her and threw
the umbrella negligently over his shoulder. He too was wet in seconds, but ignored it. His
full attention was now on the very wet, almost-naked form of the girl before him. Her gi
was white and was almost see-through on her chest! Her legs too were visible, but to his
disappointment, he could not see from her stomach to her upper thigh's because of the
double-thickness of her overlapping gi and pants. What a pity--he would have dearly loved
to see her completely naked in all her glory once again. "And transparent too,"
he added in amusement, stepping even closer so that he was standing right over her form,
his chest brushing her hands which were held protectively over her chest.
"Kenshin," Kaoru said uncertainly, taking a step
backward. She had not expected to have a transparent outfit on around him! Damn the rain!
His eyes went over her form again, pausing on her hands. She shifted nervously and took
another step backward, which he matched without lifting his head. His face and eyes were
hidden by his wet red hair and she suddenly had the urge to bolt.
"Guess again," Battousai murmured, raising full golden
eyes to her startled face. He saw her swallow and he smiled wolfishly.
"I er-" she stammered shyly, feeling as if she were
completely naked under his gaze. Their eyes locked and she licked her lips, taking an
hasty step backward when his eyes kindled. Her arms flew out to ward him off, fingertips
pressing against his chest. "Stop right there!" She warned, eyes unable to leave
his.
Battousai grinned at her wickedly, then dropped his amber eyes
with great deliberation to her chest. "Beautiful," he said huskily.
Kaoru abruptly remembered her chest and her hands flew up again
to cover her breasts, which were very apparent through the wet material, the rosy nipples
erect from the cold. But before they could shield her from his burning gaze, they were
caught in both of his. Too late! Why hadn't she left when she'd found out she was naked to
his gaze? Because on some level, she liked to taunt him. That was why. Somewhere inside,
she was excited to see him so lustful over her! Bad Kaoru. Bad-
Battousai stepped closer, at the same time, pulling her hands
over his shoulders. He let them go and pressed himself against her, hands sliding
possessively around her waist and back. "You don't need to hide yourself from me,
Kaoru," he murmured to her, rubbing his chest against her cold one.

_________________________________________________________________________________
The rain fell lightly about them, ignored by both. Sanosuke
paused on his way out the door to find Kenshin, his mouth falling open as he saw the two
wrapped in each other's arms. Even as he watched, Kenshin's mouth came down on Kaoru's
hard, smothering her audible gasp. He rolled his eyes, then carefully backed up and
re-entered the house to head off Yahiko. Dinner could wait.

_________________________________________________________________________________
Battousai was fully aware that Sanosuke had been there for a few
moments, but he had luckily retreated. Luckily for him. Kaoru was his and their
encounters were private. His lips moved over Kaoru's hard, feeling a need to punish her on
some level for worrying him by being out while it rained. He soon softened the kiss,
leaving his lips to trail over her face.
Kaoru was lost in the sensation, not minding in the slightest
when Battousai gave her the punishing kiss. She was aware that he had been worried about
her getting wet. But then to stand there in front of him in a transparent gi when she knew
he wanted her so much, was just insane! She groaned as his warm lips burned a trail over
her cold eyelids. His hands moved in caresses over her back and waist, molding her form to
his. Kaoru suddenly pressed herself hard against him, wanting to feel every inch of his
lightly-muscled body against her. She wanted him so much! His hands, his lips, his eyes.
Oh god, his eyes. That molten gold stare filled with such lust and passion and
darkness. When had she started wanting the Battousai more than gentle Kenshin? With this
thought, her senses came back to her and she pulled back violently.
She was so passionate! He groaned against her forehead as she
pressed hard against him, every inch of him against her body. His loins exploded into fire
as she ground against him mindlessly, seemingly wanting to enjoy his body pressed to hers
in that way. And then she was pushing back!
Battousai was so surprised by her withdrawal from his embrace
that his arms slid away from her and she was running towards the house like the hounds of
hell were after her, before he could even open his mouth. His golden eyes narrowed. She
was going to tease him like that and then leave? No, she was not!

_________________________________________________________________________________
Sanosuke was absently drinking some sake, straight from the jug,
when Yahiko wandered in, two umbrellas in his hands. "Hey, is Kaoru here? I couldn't
find her!" he said, frowning in worry.
"Yeah," Sanosuke said, gulping down his sake and
pouring some more. That had been some heated kiss he'd witnessed between Kenshin and
Kaoru! His brows creased pensively. Maybe he should have a talk to Kenshin and find out
what his intentions were? Kaoru was as close to a sister as he'd ever had and seduction
was all well and good, but this was Missy he was talking about here.
"Well?" Yahiko said angrily. He threw the umbrellas
into a corner and flopped down on the mat next to the older man. He'd searched all over
town for her!
"She's home," Sano murmured, drumming his fingers on
his knee. Yes, he would talk to Kenshin. If the guy was going to marry Kaoru, then it was
okay. Generally, he didn't think much about propriety where women were concerned. They
were there for food and comfort right? His eyes rolled. Yeah, well, that's what he used
to think. Sure, he was polite and he treated women with respect, but the women he
usually associated with were the loose kind. Since coming to town, he'd become friends
with Kaoru and Tae and a few other women who were respectable and he treated them as such.
Now Kenshin...he didn't look the kind to mess around. So? Why was he suddenly treating
Kaoru like a tasty-treat when he'd acted like the brother before? Surely, it couldn't
be the robbers!
"I found another umbrella in the courtyard," Yahiko
said, looking at Sanosuke expectantly.
"Kenshin must have used it," Sano said, keeping his
thoughts to himself. Yahiko didn't need to know the manner that umbrella had been
discarded and what reason!
"I'm hungry," the boy moaned, rubbing at his stomach.
"Is dinner ready?"
"Nope."
"What?" Yahiko leapt to his feet. "I've been
cleaning this place and practicing all day and Kenshin hasn't done the
dinner?"
"He washed...then washed some more and then made Kaoru's
bath," Sanosuke said, gulping down his sake again. Yep, Kenshin and he needed to have
a man to man talk. He looked at the grumbling boy, who was heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" He said sharply.
Yahiko's eyes rolled skyward. "To find Kenshin of
course!" he said, as if it were obvious.
Sano's eyes narrowed and he tossed the sake jug to the side.
"I'll do it. You stay here," he ordered, getting to his feet.
Yahiko stared at him as if he were nuts. "Why would I do that?!"
he demanded. Was something going on?
Because there might be something going on that a young boy
shouldn't see! Sano rolled his eyes and grinned. Kenshin sure was a sly dog!
Before he could stop Yahiko, the boy stuck out his tongue and ran
out of the room. "Try and stop me!" He shouted.
"I'll stop you and give you a hiding!"
Sanosuke muttered, running after the boy before he burst in on something he was too young
to witness!

_________________________________________________________________________________
Kaoru had fled into the changing room off of the bath, stripping
her wet clothes off and panting hard. God! How could she have done that to him? Teasing
him like that. Taunting him. She wasn't going to get away with that and she knew it.
Battousai wasn't one to fool with, no matter how far their games might go--but to do that
in the courtyard when Sanosuke or Yahiko could have walked out any minute? What had she
been thinking? She grabbed a towel and wrapped it about her form. Kaoru shook her
wet hair back, then grabbed a washcloth from the shelf and headed for the door. Kenshin
would be cooking dinner by then and who knew what he would try at the dinner table? She
flushed, eyes becoming glazed as she remembered a minute ago, pressed against him. Her
body had felt like it was on fire and she wanted...wanted him so much. Whatever
her body wanted, even though she was not quite sure how it was done.
"Megumi. I have to talk to Megumi!" she said under her breath, opening the
screen to the bath.
As soon as she left the change-room, she felt herself grabbed
about the waist and swung around dizzyingly. She saw a blur of red as she passed and then
there was abruptly a solid wall behind her back, a wet gi pressed hard onto her body.
Before she could do more than gasp, a pair of hungry lips descended onto hers and blazing
golden eyes were centimeters from her own. Battousai!
"Battousai no!" she said, struggling to keep her lips
from his. Damn! She hadn't thought that he'd follow her! But she should have.
Yes, she should have known that Battousai wouldn't leave it like that after desire had
burned so hotly between them in the courtyard.
"Yes," he growled at her. She was going to
deny him after that taunt in the courtyard? No.
"No! Not like this damn it!" Kaoru cried, thrusting at
his chest ineffectually. Hot kisses were pressed all over her face as Battousai
frantically kissed her. He seemed almost in a frenzy, determined to touch her and kiss her
everywhere! His hands skimmed down over her scantily-clad body, burning easily through the
towel.
"You started it," Battousai breathed into her ear,
nibbling on the lobe. He pressed her further into the wall so that she was crushed against
him, her breasts flattened. He ground himself intimately into her, feeling as if he were
in a fever.
Kaoru moaned, unable to stop his hands on her. Gods, she wanted
this so much! She wanted to burn in his fire. She felt his hands tearing at her towel and
her eyes shot open in panic. No, she wasn't ready for this! "Battousai no!"
she slapped him hard, his head whipped to the side. For a moment, there was a long silence
and then he turned his face back, his eyes so dark a gold that they appeared to belong to
a feral animal.
"Kaoru-if you had been a man, you would be dead right
now," he said quietly, voice hard and certain. He deliberately ran his hand up her
thighs to where the towel started, his fingers sliding under the wool.
Kaoru's blue eyes widened in shock as his hands moved up over her
hip to cup her bottom and thrust her into his hardness. "If I was a man, you wouldn't
be doing this!" she responded, fury filling her. He was touching her now as if she
was a whore!
"True," The gold in Battousai's eyes softened slightly.
"You knew what I would do when you taunted me a few minutes ago."
"Yes," she acknowledged, groaning slightly as he ground
himself into her again. Then he hands were sliding away from her bottom and down her
thighs.
"I'm not ready," Kaoru said baldly to him, meeting his
eyes head-on.
"I know," Battousai murmured almost soothingly, hands
leaving her thighs and sliding up over her towel. They moved over her stomach and then up
to cup her breasts through the towel. "But you make it so damned hard,
Kaoru," he growled, leaning in to kiss her hard. "Very," he stroked her
left nipple. "Very," he stroked her right nipple. "Hard." he
ground himself into her, moving his hips in a circular motion.
Kaoru's eyes widened at his movement, feeling as if her legs were
going to collapse from under her. She felt as if she were on fire, the feeling centered
between her legs where he was pressing. "Oh god!" she groaned, head falling back
from him, leaving her throat bare.
Battousai immediately pressed his lips to the pulse beating at
her throat, tongue coming out to lathe it. "Give in to me, Kaoru," he purred,
biting lightly, then soothing it with his tongue.
"Kenshin! Where are you?!" Yahiko's voice was like a
bucket of cold water. "I want dinner!"
"Maybe now isn't a good time," Sanosuke's said from
close-by, as he tried to head Yahiko off.
Battousai drew back from Kaoru swiftly, looking over his
shoulder. His golden eyes narrowed. Yahiko would not dare to enter when Kaoru was bathing,
would he? He would never let anyone but himself see his Kaoru naked. But no one entered
and he smiled. He'd have to thank Sanosuke later.
Kaoru gasped like a beached whale, feeling all hot and bothered
and unsatisfied. God! If Yahiko hadn't called out just then! "Please leave," she
said with difficulty, eyes huge. She couldn't think right now! And she wanted him to leave
as badly as she wanted him doing to her what he had been. She felt strange between the
legs, like a burning and she wasn't sure what was happening. She'd never had a mother
around to tell her these things. Maybe she should talk to Megumi? As much as they disliked
each other, the lady Doctor would not turn Kaoru down, she was sure.
"Mmm," Battousai murmured, breathing hard through his
nose. He would have liked to have strangled Yahiko, but Kaoru had said that she
wasn't ready, even though he'd pushed and she'd responded beautifully. He smiled
predatorily. "See you at dinner, Kaoru."
"Y-yes. Right, Kenshin," Kaoru said warily, wondering
why he was giving up so easily. She had a feeling that he still had a few tricks up her
sleeve and unfortunately, there were many, many places during the course of the
day that he could corner her. What if he was planning something at dinner like he had at
breakfast? Her heart began to beat louder in her ears in anticipation. Battousai walked
calmly from the bathroom without a backward glance and for that she was grateful. If he'd
looked at her with those eyes, she would have folded like a deck of cards!

To Be Continued...
