Chapter 13: Mistress Yoko

 

Sano didn't have a chance to see Kenshin until his lesson with him after lunch. He got a lot of questioning eyes following him, girls whispering with the rumour of why the two of them just happened to be off from college yesterday without so much as phone call. Luckily for Sano, the teacher he'd have to report to if he did miss a day was Kenshin, and as he definitely knew why he wasn't in yesterday, Sano had managed to escape from any awkward questions from other teachers and professors.

Kenshin had set the first assignment for this semester today, and after a short lecture, all the students sat relatively quietly in the auditorium, some with paper and pens, other's with their own laptops, doing research and general study. Sano however, was still pondering on his conversation with Aoshi. Watching Kenshin wandering around helping students who needed a point in the right direction, Sano's mind was concentrating on anything but work.

Whatever Kenshin had done…argh, Sano just couldn't think of anything!! Kenshin looked to innocent and naïve to have been able to do something that made someone who loved him hate him and run away. His cute smile as a girl thanked him for helping him before moving onto the next student, the rays of the afternoon sun filtering through the large windows giving the room a warm glow, Kenshin was just happily leading his life. Sano sighed. He should stop worrying, it wouldn't change anything anyway. Saito wasn't in love with Kenshin, how would he know just how far that love can go?

 

-----

 

Sano hurried down the corridor towards Kenshin's office. His last period was free so he was going to see if Kenshin was alright after seeing Saito. He seemed alright in class, but he seemed to have a knack for covering up emotions after seeing him. Knocking on his door, Sano waited for an answer but received none.

 

“Kenshin? You in here?” Sano asked as he turned the door handle, opening the door wide.

 

Seeing into his office, there was no one inside, so Sano walked in and shut the door behind him deciding to wait for a while, and if he didn't show up, indicating Kenshin had another class, he'd just head back over to the library. After all he couldn't go home yet, he didn't have Kenshin's keys.

Sano headed over to Kenshin's desk to sit down when he saw the sword, usually hanging above the window, lying on the desk. Frowning curiously, he gently picked it up and, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one was walking through the door, unsheathed it.

The shining metal glinted in the sunlight as Sano examined the sword closely. He didn't know much (ok absolutely nothing) about swords, but wasn't the blade on this one on the wrong side? This was the sword that Megumi had said they found him with, but what on earth could an 11 year old Kenshin be doing with a sword? Even a weird one like this? As Sano shrugged to himself and placed the sword back in its sheath, he paused as he saw something on the handle. Looking closer, there was a pattern of red on the fabric, like red dye but…no, that red wasn't dye, was that……..no…dried blood? Sano felt around with his fingers to see if it would come off, when suddenly something crumpled under his fingers. Moving part of the fabric back that covered a small part of the handle next to the hilt, there was what looked like a folded piece of paper, a letter tucked underneath hidden away.

 

“Sano?!”

 

Sano dropped the sword back on the desk in shock and spun around to see Kenshin standing in the doorway.

 

“Oh, Kenshin, it's you.” He said relieved, “You made me jump.”

 

Kenshin had seen Sano holding that sword, and frowned to himself in concern, “What are you doing?” he asked as he walked around to his desk, quickly picking up the sword.

 

“Just waiting for you.” He replied, as Kenshin stood up on his chair and placed the sword back above the window, “Just wanted to make sure you were ok.”

 

Kenshin paused when he sat down on his chair, Sano half sitting on the edge of his desk. He stared down at some papers with sad eyes, and sighed, “I am sorry.”

 

Sano blinked, “For what?”

 

“For snapping at you earlier.” Kenshin said guiltily.

 

Sano watched him carefully for a moment, trying avoiding eye contact. True it had been a big surprise to be yelled at by him, he'd looked so angry when he saw him talking with Saito, so agitated and…almost scared?

 

“You're worried I'm gonna ask you about him aren't you? About Saito?” Kenshin looked up at him, definite concern in his eyes on that subject, but found Sano smiling warmly back at him, “Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask. I'm guessing he's a long story right?”

 

Kenshin smiled back, a smile of relief. Long story was right. “Thank you.” He said, a large weight seemingly lifting from his soul knowing he wouldn't have to explain.

 

Sano watched him again, still avoiding eye contact staring at his desk, so he stood up and walked towards him. “Sano?” Kenshin queried, as Sano took Kenshin's hand and pulled him slightly to get him to stand up from the chair, before enveloping him in a tight hug.

 

“I don't know what's going on with him,” he said, closing his eyes against Kenshin's hair, “And I don't really care, but as long as you're okay, that's all that matters.”

 

Kenshin smiled softly against Sano's chest. Yes, this is what he needed, no questions, no anger, just…just Sano, to hold him like this. He would give Saito what he wanted if it meant he could stay in these arms, if it meant his freedom, he would give himself just once a month to him, just once, if it meant he could be happy.

Sano peered up at the sword behind Kenshin, looking at the small piece of fabric that hid what he felt was something important underneath. Although he wondered what it was, and what was written on it, Sano placed that thought at the back of his mind. It would seem whatever was going on was something that was out of his league, but whatever was going to happen, if that Saito lay one finger on his Kenshin, then he wouldn't be held responsible for the consequences.

 

To try and cheer the seemingly solemn atmosphere that suddenly filled the office, Sano grinned to himself, “Hey…we're all alone you know.” He said suggestively.

 

Kenshin chuckled lightly, looking up at him, “That we are.” He smiled.

 

“Can I kiss you?” Sano asked smiling.

 

“Mm hm.” Kenshin nodded lightly, closing his eyes as Sano lean down to kiss him, cradling the back of his neck with his hand, the other wrapping itself around Kenshin's waist.

 

Leaning into him, Kenshin wrapped his own arms around Sano's neck, deepening their kiss, blissfully unaware of anything except each other's warmth. Soon Sano gently pushed Kenshin back, the backs of his legs hitting the desk making him sit down, Sano still kissing him deeply. As he tried to get Kenshin to lay down on the desk, Kenshin broke the kiss, placing one hand behind himself on the desk to keep him balanced, “Sano…not here.” He smiled shyly, but Sano it would seem wasn't paying attention.

Placing butterfly kisses on his left cheek, Sano lent over him to finally make him lay down, starting his kisses on Kenshin's neck, ignoring, as feeble as they were, any protests from the pretty redhead. Knocking what sounded like a small pen holder off the desk, Kenshin found his pulse starting to race as Sano began unbuttoning his shirt, capturing his lips once again, tongues delving into each other's mouths, Kenshin lost once again to Sano's advances. Resuming his kisses down Kenshin's neck, Sano slid one hand under Kenshin's left thigh, lifting his leg up over his waist, Kenshin's eyes closed with the sensations he was feeling.

“Sano…” Kenshin whispered, head resting to one side, a deep blush spread across his cheeks as Sano had worked his way down to his waist, one hand already underneath the waistline of his pants, making Kenshin's slow breaths turn into breathless gasps. As Sano dipped his head down, manoeuvring Kenshin's other leg around him, Kenshin placed one hand in Sano's hair, fingering through the strands as he found himself arching into the pleasure, trying with every ounce of will he had left to not moan so loud that people passing outside the door would here them.

 

Although he may possibly have been too late for that.

 

“Ahem.”

 

Kenshin's eyes shot open and got up so fast he knocked Sano out the way and lost his balance falling off the other side of the desk, luckily `out of view' behind the wooden panels.

 

“….hello Megumi.” Came a very timid voice behind the desk, Kenshin's entire face beet red, Sano just seeming to blink stupidly sitting on the floor trying to come to terms with what had just happened, and what he had been doing before he suddenly got pushed out the way.

 

Megumi, who stood in the doorway with a mixed expression of surprise and desperately trying not to laugh, raised her eyebrows at the scene of walking into the room to find her little brother moaning and wriggling around on his desk with a student between his legs.

 

“Well,” she started, biting her bottom lip, “I've completely forgotten what I came in here for now. Bye bye.” She said, face really starting to crack with laughter, “Oh and err…” she said with a strained chuckle, “I'd lock the door if I were you.” And with that walked out shutting the door behind her, her held back laughter suddenly escaping as she walked down the corridor, her hand by her mouth trying to cover the fits of giggles.

 

Kenshin finally peered out from behind his desk, face still red with embarrassment at being caught at doing `that'. Well, at least it had been his sister, and not a student, now that could, well, would have cost him his job!

 

Breathing a small sigh of relief as his heart no longer felt like it was about to burst from his chest, Kenshin peered over at Sano who had stood up from the floor, “Sano?” Kenshin said, watching him as he got up and walked to the door, “What are you doing?”

 

Sano got to the door and flipped over the latch that locked it, before turning around and walking towards him. Kenshin, who was still splayed out on the floor, shirt un-done hanging loosely at his sides, peered up at him as he knelt down in front of him. Taking his chin and kissing him quickly, Sano flashed a winning smile, “Locking the door like she said.”

 

Kenshin blinked at him, apparently he was unfazed at getting caught like that, but as he took a breath to tell him it was probably best that they should stop now, Kenshin found himself back on the floor, Sano lying on top of him devouring his mouth once again. Kenshin frowned, he had work to do and so did Sano, he shouldn't have let him get as far as he did in the first place, and if someone did hear them then—

 

Kenshin gasped sharply, eyes closing blissfully as he found himself involuntarily lifting his hips to meet Sano's, that deep blush returning once again.

 

Well…maybe just this once…

 

But Sano should really learn to restrain those hands of his.

Sano sat in the passenger seat of Kenshin's car as Kenshin drove them home for the evening. It was the weekend now, and Sano had every intention of spending every waking (and sleeping) moment with him, cuddled up in his arms looking all cute and gorgeous and cute and pretty and-

 

“What?” Kenshin smiled, quickly glancing across at Sano as he tried to keep his eyes on the road.

 

“Nothing.” Sano replied a faraway smile on his lips as he continued to stare at Kenshin, sitting at a slightly awkward angle on the seat so he could look at him dreamily. “Can we do that again?” he said after a pause.

 

Kenshin chuckled slightly, “I didn't think it was `nothing'.” He smiled, “But no we can't.”

 

Sano's face fell, “Aw why not?”

 

“Sano, I don't go into work everyday just to do that in your free hours,” he said kindly, although unfortunately there was a serious tone behind that smile, “Besides, you should be studying in your free time, not running off to find me, that you shouldn't.” Kenshin glanced across at him again before looking back to the road, “And I don't care how much you stare at me like that I'm not going to change my mind, it's too risky, that it is.”

 

Sano had been staring at him the whole time, still with that faraway smile on his face, “That proves it.” He said.

 

Kenshin blinked, “Proves what?” he asked, glancing across at him again.

 

“That whether you're being cute and blushing in my arms, or if you're stuck in teacher mode and being all stern and serious….” Sano grinned, “It's just not possible for you not to be totally hot.”

 

Kenshin slowed the car to a halt as the traffic around them came to a stand still at a red light, and he looked across at Sano, a sweet smile on his lips.

 

“I'm still not doing it again.”

 

Sano chuckled, “Well, damn, but alright.” He said, as he leaned across, placing one hand behind Kenshin's neck and bringing him forward a little so he could kiss him, lingering on those lips for a moment before pulling away “You can make it up to me when we get home instead.” He whispered, grinning at how he made Kenshin blush again, before the traffic moved and Kenshin quickly started back home, before Sano would ask he make it up to him in the car instead.

 

----

 

Sano was excited! Having the exhilarating thrill of possibly being caught (being caught just beforehand by Megumi didn't count) in the middle of ravishing Kenshin in his office in the middle of a college day, was not only a turn on, but now he was definitely going to get to ravish him some more when they got home. He didn't have to get to work till 9.30, so he had plenty of time to play.

They were almost home now, but as Kenshin pulled up in his usual parking spot in the small car park under the apartment building, Sano's heart seemed to stop. The car they'd parked next to seemed eerily familiar, and as if an evil spirit had walked over his grave, Sano shivered, staring at that car, the dark navy blue seeming black in the shadows, the licence plate number which ended in “BAD” bringing the awful truth to light.

 

“Oh my god…” Sano whispered, as Kenshin turned to look at him.

 

“Are you alright?” Kenshin asked worryingly, Sano seemingly to go white.

 

“She can't be here….” Sano whispered again, not taking his eyes off the devil car next to them, Kenshin following his gaze and completely confused on what the problem was.

 

“Who?” he asked, as Sano suddenly flew open the car door and, on running round the other side and grabbing Kenshin's hand who has half way out the door, dragged the now stumbling red head up the steps and into the main entrance, running into the elevator and stopping so fast Kenshin ran straight into the back of him.

 

“No, no no no no,” Sano stammered, pressing the button for floor 5 over and over again as if it would make it get there faster.

 

“S-Sano, what's going on?” Kenshin tried asking again, as Sano held his hand tightly.

 

“Let's just get into your apartment, I'll explain as soon as were safe.” He said, voice seeming to shake.

 

“Safe?!” Kenshin queried, but as the elevator doors opened, Sano was frozen to the spot at who he saw standing by Kenshin's apartment door.

 

“Oh no…” Sano stared in terror as the woman turned to look at him, her dyed blond hair tied back in high ponytail, frowning when she saw who it was, “Mum……..” Sano whispered.

 

“Oh, your mother?” Kenshin smiled, wondering what all the fuss was about, her knee high black boots making her footsteps loud on the floor as she walked towards them.

 

Sano took a step backwards, “No, you don't understand…” he tried to explain, but no intelligent thoughts were entering his mind as his mother walked sternly towards them, “She…”

 

“WHAT LITTLE TRAMP HAVE YOU SHACKED UP WITH NOW?!?!?”

 

“ORO?!?!”

 

-----

 

Somehow, from that, ahem, out burst, the three of them had managed to work their way into Kenshin's apartment and out of the hall, where Sano's mother was now storming up and down Kenshin lounge screaming at Sano, Sano unable to get a single word in, and Kenshin watching like a tennis match between the two.

 

“Not only do you leave me-“

 

“Mum you-“

 

“But when I try and find you you always avoid me-“

 

“Mum please-“

 

“You never call-“

 

“Mum you don't-“

 

“When I do finally find you I have to get the information from a police man—“

 

Police man? Kenshin thought, before releasing about the fire, Oh, Soujirou.

 

“Mum!-“

 

“And not only that I see you've now moved in with this half pint who by the looks of is barely out of high school! Sanosuke I'm so ashamed of you!”

 

Kenshin blinked, Half pint?

 

“Mum listen to me-“

 

“I suppose you've got her pregnant haven't you? HAVEN'T YOU?!?! Well at least you're not gay anymore, it's step in the right direction but she can't be more than 15!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother!!!!”

 

At this point Sano turned slowly to look at Kenshin, who now stood there with wide eyes staring at Sano's mother. She thinks he's a…

 

And Sano burst out laughing.

 

His mother glared at him, “I don't see what's so funny,” then she turned to Kenshin, walking up in front of him and looking him over, Kenshin standing perfectly still, his violet eyes still wide at being called a girl, “Well, as I said at least you're a girl, you may be young, but if young is how that idiot wants them, it's better than a man. I'll thank you for that.” She said, and suddenly grabbed Kenshin in a tight hug.

 

“Oro….” Kenshin said distantly, before Sano's mother seemed to stop. Opening her eyes and frowning, she let go of him and stood back, eye brows raised curiously.

 

“Wait a minute….” She said, as she stared at his chest, “There weren't any…”

 

“ORO?!”

 

“MUM!!!”

 

Sano grabbed his mother and pulled her off Kenshin as she lifted up his shirt.

 

“You're a MAN?” she exclaimed, in total shock, “But…but you look so…..”

 

“If you let me get a word in edgeways I'll tell you what's going on!” Sano yelled at her, shoving her down on the sofa, “This is Kenshin, he's my History teacher in college. This is his apartment and he's letting me stay here as my apartment burnt down a few nights ago. Yes he is a he…” he said as she opened her mouth and raised her finger to point at him, “Yes he is my boyfriend and-before-you-say-anyt hing-“ he quickly interjected as she opened her mouth again, “Yes I am still gay, and the fact that you don't like that well I couldn't care less. Oh, and the reason I don't call you is because I never know which one of your playboys is gonna pick up the phone!”

 

Breathing quickly to catch his breath back, the apartment was suddenly left in an awkward silence.

 

Kenshin looked from one to the other, holding the front of his shirt protectively, “Umm……I'll go and make some tea!” he said overly cheerfully, backing out quickly into the kitchen.

 

-----

 

Sano's mother sat at the edge of Kenshin's sofa cradling her cup of tea, staring at Kenshin sitting on his armchair, Sano leaning next to it.

 

Kenshin looked at her, now calm and quiet, and had to admit she didn't exactly seem like the mother type. Short black skirt to go with those knee high boots, a furry jacket and a lot of make up, and she looked pretty young too. Still, that awkward atmosphere was still lingering around so he thought he'd better start the conversation.

 

“I guess I should introduce myself properly, that I should,” Kenshin smiled, “I'm Kenshin Himura, I teach Ancient Japanese History at Sano's college, it's very nice to meet you.” He held out his hand for her to shake, but she just stared at it with a raised eyebrow, before taking it gently.

 

“I'm Yoko,” she said distractingly, as she stared at Kenshin's smaller hand, “Are you sure you're a man?” she said quietly.

 

“God you're so embarrassing…” Sano whispered, closing his eyes and looking away.

 

“Yes I'm afraid I am,” Kenshin smiled awkwardly, “I am sorry if you do not approve.”

 

“But, you're a teacher right?” Kenshin nodded, “Well…how old are you then?”

 

“26.”

 

“26?!” she exclaimed, nearly dropping her cup, “My goodness….” She said staring at him, “You'll have to tell me what you do to keep looking so young! And actually…” she said, leaning back a bit, her eye lids lowering and small smile on her lips, “Now I know you're a man….” She crossed one leg over the other, making very sure her already short skirt was pulled up a little higher “…you are very cute.”

 

“Mum stop trying to hit on my boyfriend, it's your fault you scared the last one off.” Sano said sternly, arms crossed and a very pissed off look on his face.

 

Yoko glared at him, “Shiro leaving you was not my fault. I had no idea it was him in that bed, I thought he was Taro.”

 

“Taro? Yeah right!” Sano exclaimed, standing up straight from leaning on the chair, “He and all the others were just your playthings, Taro was only around for a month until you got bored, you knew very well that was Shiro! You do this every time!! Is it any wonder I try to avoid you?”

 

“It's your own fault for being gay!” she said back sternly, “If you were like any normal man you'd be out finding a girlfriend. That's what's supposed to happen, male and female, not male and male!”

 

Sano sighed, “You're such a tart. Considering your line of work you'd think you'd be the last person to say that.”

 

Kenshin was completely lost. This was certainly a strange mother and son conversation.

 

Yoko, now deciding to ignore her son, turned back to Kenshin, “He's not giving you trouble is he?”

 

“No not at all,” Kenshin quickly smiled, “It's very nice to have him around.”

 

Yoko smiled at him, watching him for a moment, “Well, you're certainly more polite than the trash he used to bring home-“

 

“Oh jeez…”

 

“All those skimpy outfits and piercings, I'll never understand where he gets that from.”

 

Sano raised an eyebrow at her, “Try waking up every morning to find a different guy making you breakfast wearing nothing but tight shorts.” Sano stated bluntly, “Can you blame me for turning out gay when there were guys walking around half naked all the time? Dad was lucky to get out when he did.”

 

“Well he did catch me sleeping with two of my clients so I suppose I can't argue.” She said distantly.

 

Kenshin's eyes went wide.

 

“I think I like you.” She grinned at him, “If my son is insistent on being gay, I guess it's alright if he's with someone as cute and polite as you.”

 

Sano leant back on the chair, “Oh finally, it only took you half my life to come to terms with it.”

 

“Alright, well as I know you're in good hands, I'll be off then.” She said surprisingly nicely.

 

“Let me show you out,” Kenshin smiled, as he looked down to see her lifting her hand for him to take. Swallowing nervously, Kenshin took it and she got up off the sofa, keeping disturbingly close to Kenshin as he showed her to the door. As he watched them head into the kitchen, Sano collapsed face down on the sofa.

 

As Kenshin opened the door and she walked through, Yoko turned and smiled at him, “You really are cute you know.” She said, rummaging around in her hand bag and bringing out a card, “If you do ever get bored with him, give me a call.” She winked, giving the stunned Kenshin her card and walking off down the corridor.

 

Slowly closing the door, Kenshin walked half bewildered back into the lounge, seeing Sano faced down on the sofa.

 

“She's….ummm…nice?” Kenshin tried, looking down at the card she gave him with the words, `Mistress Yoko…You got a fantasy? Consider it fulfilled.'

 

Sano lifted his head up from the sofa so he could breath, “Don't ever say that.” He said, before flopping back down again.

 

Kenshin raised a very worried eyebrow, “What exactly is her line of work?”

 

Sitting up from trying to suffocate himself, Sano leant back on the sofa closing his eyes as Kenshin sat next to him, “She's the manager of a highly exclusive…err…” Sano wondered how he could put this, “Well…” he thought, “Well to put it simply, she's an S&M Queen.”

 

Now Kenshin's eyes went really wide!

 

“She had me when she was only 19, she and my dad were never married, but they didn't stay together very long anyway, as she said he caught her with two of her clients. Then after that everyday there was some new guy wandering around the house. I got used to it but after a while I realised…I shouldn't be getting used to this, it was disturbing, so I moved out.”

 

Kenshin smiled sadly at him, placing his hand on Sano's shoulder, “You ok?” he asked, as Sano opened one eye and peered across at him.

 

“Exhausted now.” He said, as he leant into him, slipping down until the back of his head rested on Kenshin's lap, closing his eyes again. Kenshin sat there stroking his hair for a moment, before he smiled, “Skimpy outfits and piercings?”

 

Sano flinched.

 

“Don't ask.”
