Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ A Twist, A spice ❯ A Twist, With Spice ( Chapter 1 )

I do not own any characters from Ruroni Kenshin. The story is not remotely close to the actual one. I wanted to write my own.

Set two years after her father's death. She is now 17.

Silence once again enveloped her ears. She shook her head and tried to focus on the sight in front of her. She couldn't do it anymore, it had welled up in side her far too long. It all came bursting out as she dropped her sword and sank to the floor on her knees, her legs spread out around her. "Why did you leave me, alone..?" She whispered as all her pent up tears ran down her face. She looked up at the slats hanging on the wall. All were stripped bare except for the one that read `Assistant Master Kamiya Kaoru,' She slowly stood her eyes glazed with sadness. She placed her hand on the empty slat space before hers. "Father, why?" She questioned into the silence. Once again she sank to her knees, this time sitting on her legs. She placed her head in her hands and cried, until sleep finally took hold of her. She collapsed on to her left side and fell asleep in that position.

"Hmmm, this is the Dojo." A young man in his mid twenties said as he rapped on the gates. `No answer, has some one gotten to her before I could,' He grabbed his sword from his side and unsheathed it; he backed away from the gates and then ran with furious speed and jumped over the gates. He searched the grounds with his inhuman speed, and then checked all the rooms. Not a soul had been found yet. `Everyone said she had been alone because all her family had recently died.' There was one place he had not searched yet and that was the Dojo training hall. He slowly slid the door open and heard a sigh. He instantly slid the door open the rest of the way. He was shocked at the sight he saw. Instead of a girl of sixteen as he'd been told, laid a women. She had long black hair, which was currently in a ponytail, scattered on the floor. Her arms on either side of her as she lay sprawled on her back. Her training Gi slightly open revealing the vale between her breasts. He gaped at her face, which had no scratches. He slowly sheathed his sword and walked up to her slim figure. Her breathing was a little light for sleeping but he paid it no mind.

He bent down to look at her face a little closer. Again she sighed this time rolling over on her left side. She brought her hand up and pelted him in the face. He went sprawling backwards and laid on his back for a few seconds in wonder. He was in a daze, he snapped back in an instant as he felt steel at his neck. His eyes focused and he saw that young beautiful girl standing above him. Her eyes narrowed in a death glare. `She is a feisty one, that she is.' He was brought out of his thoughts as she spoke.

"Sneaking up on a sword user is not polite, and can be harmful. She glanced at the man below her.

"That it is miss," He smiled at her. She did not flinch or make a move to remove the sword. `If she wishes this game to go on she could be the one pinned down in a second.' He thought

`He is not built, by bulky muscle, as other swordsman were.' She pointed the sword closer to his neck. "You should know this one, as you yourself carry a sword."

"Yes I carry a sword, merely for protection, though." He winced as the sword came closer to cutting his skin. "You should think twice about this miss, that you should." His eyes harden and turned a little gold, his tone hardened as well. Still she did not waver from her position, but she did not move an inch either.

The next instant was a blur as Kaoru heard a sword hit the polished floor, and her back pressed against the floor. She was shoved rather hard. `Why did my head not hit the floor,' Her face shown surprise. Then she felt the hand slowly slide from behind her head. She looked up at the man, whose eyes had now turned back to a violet hue. She felt his weight on his knee, which lightly resting on her leg. She glanced at it and the back at the young man's face. His face had no smirk or anything it was passive. His eyes told a different story, they kept flickering from non-caring to lust.

She turned her head to the right side and stared at the wall. She had seen it many times before, men would come and train at the Dojo so they could beat her and then try to claim her. She beat everyman that had come to the Dojo. The fifth or sixth one she had asked, why they were coming. The man had laughed and said that she was a pretty young thing and that many men desired her. She shook her head a little and looked back up at the man. He stared at her intently. Tired of the silence, "What do you want?" She questioned in a droll tone. Closing her eyes waiting for the response she knew would come, only it didn't. She felt his weight recede from her leg and then looked up at him. He slowly rose to his feet and stretched his arms.

"I want nothing miss, I have come to offer you my services," She sat up abruptly and stared at him wide eyed. He looked at her then turned away and pointed at her chest. She looked down and saw her Gi had opened revealing her tied breasts. She blushed furiously and wrenched the sides closed, retying her sash.

"What do you mean services?" She asked as she slowly stood. "Why would I need services from any man? She spat at his back. "I have fixed myself you may turn around.

At this she stared at him, he still did not turn around. He stood staring at the slats, well the one slat. "May I ask again what you meant, and what you want?" She was getting angry, the silence was making her even madder. This time the young man acknowledged her and turned to his side.

"You must be the assistant master. Kamiya Kaoru," He stated still not looking at her.

"Yes I am, now you know me, may I ask your name?" She asked dryly, agitated with the cold shoulder.

I am sorry, my name is Himura, Kenshin Himura." He turned to face her. He locked eyes with her. Those blue eyes so intense they could drown you with the right stare. He continued after a pause. "I have come to offer my services, as I said. What I mean is that I will be you protector."

"Why?" She asked as she waved her hand in dismissal. "I can take care of myself .I have beaten anyone that has come around me, until now." She cocked her head towards him and gave him a disinterested look.

"You were the daughter of the re-nowned Seta Kamiwa, were you not." Her glare became icy as she stocked up to him.

"How would you know that name?" She spotted her sword and lunged for it doing a roll and coming to stand back on her feet a few inches away from the young man. "Not many people do, and if they do, they are people in very high ranking offices.' She pointed the sword once again at his throat, but watched him closer this time.

"I tell you once again, Miss Kamiya, I can push you to the floor once again, before you will have time to swing.

"You have not said a word like that to me," She spat disgustingly. "I would not take me so lightly. I may be small but I can fight with speed as well as strength. You caught me off guard once, again you will not." She said threateningly.

Kenshin closed his eyes. "You have three seconds miss," He said evenly. He counted in his mind. The third second he felt the tip of the sword at his neck, he sighed inwardly. In an instant he was out of her sight, she frantically searched all around and felt a presence behind her. She turned just in time to block his sword from cutting her. "You are very well trained...." Again he disappeared, and she felt the cold tip of steel at the side of her throat. She blinked and then lazily dropped her sword to the ground. With a clang she was hurled up against his massive chest and lips were brought down on hers for a chaste kiss. She widened her eyes in shock and then placed her hands on his chest intending to push him away. He removed his lips, each taking a breath, before he returned his mouth to hers. Again she was shocked, this time opening her mouth to gasp. He took advantage of this and snuck his tongue into her mouth. She collapsed against his chest, her hands taking handfuls of his Gi.

The kiss was broken once again and she held on to his Gi, her legs were to weak to hold her. He had a smirk on his face. "Well that seems to have surprised you, twice in fact." He smirked down at her with his eyes golden purple. She stared at him transfixed, until his left arm fell from her form. She looked at where his hand use to be, then back at him. Her skin, underneath the Gi was burning to be touched even through fabric. "I will come back tomorrow, I await your reply." He pushed her away from him and then disappeared into the night.

Slowly Kaoru slid to the floor, some how she backed up against one of the walls. Her hands were laid across the wall, trying to grip anything. She placed them above her maddening heartbeat. She sighed, trying to calm herself. `It was only a kiss, well two actually. Her mind fought. She shook her head. "What an amazing two at that," She stated out loud as she turned to look up at the stars that had appeared. She shook her head, for a moment she thought she had seen his face.

They next day Kaoru awoke to a clatter noise in her kitchen. She abruptly stood and grabbed her training Gi. She ran to the Kitchen and threw the door open. "What are you doing to my kitchen," Kaoru all but screamed. "I'll take you down if you don't leave." She reached to her waist, and realized she had forgotten her sword in the Dojo last night. She had fallen asleep for a while in the Dojo, when she awoke she had stumbled to her room in a sleepy haze. The next moment she was seized by the man's rough hands. One went to her mouth, the other around her waist. She was pulled to his chest, her back to him. "Shh little missy, I wont harm you...much,"
