Chapter 2: The challenge. 000000000000000000

"So, how the heck do we fix this, jou-chan"

Kaoru sighed and looked at the rooster head sitting next to her, beside him sat Megumi and Yahiko. All three pairs of eyes watched her as she nibbled absently on her fingertips.

"I really don't know. I don't have enough training to counter a spell such as this. I mean, look at me, I'm not exactly miko type here" she whispered a bit faster than she should have, revealing the tension and anxiety she felt at the moment as she eyed the happily scrubbing rurouni and the stone-cold quiet battousai sitting directly before them. She frowned a bit more when she realized as she stared into Battousai, that he can hear what they were talking about when a smirk made its way to his normally impassive features.

"Kuso. Lets go inside and talk about this." she whispered hurriedly to Sano as she stood up, avoiding the heated look that Battousai shot her.

"What’s wrong with discussing it here" Sano asked as she hurriedly stood up.

Turning to glare back at him, she merely mouthed the words to him and grinned when at least Sano had the mind to pick up what she meant.

"He can hear us, bakayarou"

Battousai can't help but chuckle at the four who have just entered the dojo with Kaoru shutting the shoji firmly shut. "My, my, my... looks like my Kaoru is quite sharp..." he muttered quietly

"It's good that she keeps her guard up when it comes to you."

Amber eyes lowered to gaze at the Rurouni still bent scrubbing the laundry. "Hnnn, what’s wrong Rurouni? Slightly pissed because I get to do what you're to scared to do"

The Rurouni straightened and looked directly in his mirror images amber eyes. "You didn't have any right to do that to Kaoru-dono, more importantly, you never had the right."

Battousai smirked and jumped down from the tree he was currently sitting on and landed gracefully on the ground before the Rurouni.

"Never had the right? Who said that I don't, and never will have the right Rurouni? Only you said that, only you dictated that stupid idea. Everyone knows that she's my woman... everyone, even Jin-eh saw that." he silkily told him

Fire blazed within amethyst orbs. "She shouldn't be tainted with anyone such as us" she growled

Amber flashed defiantly"Wrong you idiot. She already had been tainted by us. No matter what you do, everyone will come after her, knowing that she's our woman, nothing will change that fact. Why do you keep on fighting the fact that she already belongs to us... wait.. correction, to me."

The rurouni gritted his teeth and clenched his fists"You will not touch her" he growled deep with in his throat.

A cold smirk was his only answer"Watch me." he told the Rurouni before he turned his back to him and strode purposely to the dojo. Sliding the shoji door open with a loud snap, he strode inside. The Rurouni stood there staring at him for a moment, shocked at his challenge, before it finally hit him and he ran right into the dojo just in time to see him grab Kaoru by the waist and planted one of his hands on her nape and kissed her deeply despite her muffled protest in front of their friends.

Sano and Yahiko's mouth fell open and Megumi gasped when Battousai strode in the dojo and made his way straight to Kaoru. The young shihondai could only gasp in surprise before he hauled her up on her feet and planted his hands on her waist and nape and kissed her thoroughly.

Kuso. Kenshin is kissing her. Sano thought as he stared wide eyed at the two lovers before him.

Yahiko could only stare in surprise at what Kenshin did, wait correction, Battousai did, he thought as the Rurouni came charging in and stand stock still watching as his darker persona kiss the girl he was protecting... even from himself.

Kaoru tried to protest Battousai's action but only succeeding in inflaming his actions even further when he drew her closer to his lean frame. She gasped and moaned out loud, completely forgetting the audience they had when his tongue swept in to taste her. Leaning closer to him, Kaoru tentatively lifted her arms to wrap themselves around him.

Their jaws slacked even more when Kaoru lifted her arms around his neck and her answering groan to his kiss. Even the rurouni could only stare at Kaoru and Battousai kissing passionately. He bit his lip hard. That's not fair! he thought, jealousy reddening his gaze. It's not fair! I've always been out here trying to protect her, protect her from everything even from my self that I denied myself the pleasure of taking her as mine, and now only after a day after this stupid spell caused me and Battousai to split, he claims the kiss that I've been wanting to have from the moment I saw her!

"Yamero" he finally shouted when he couldn't take it any longer. Any more of their kissing and he just might be able to break that non-killing vow thing and kill his own darker personality.

Battousai relinquished her lips a bit slower than the Rurouni could have wanted, his hand dropped to his sword on his side at the smug smirk that lay plastered on Battousai's face.

"You are simple delectable... Kaoru..." he whispered huskily against her lips as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. Nuzzling her neck, he savored the way she gasped before he let his arms drop and turn to face the angry Rurouni. He smirked even more.

"Too bad, you never really had the chance to taste her did you" he whispered to the Rurouni as he went past him"Intoxicatingly sweet."

He clenched his fists even more and when he looked at Kaoru, he felt as if someone had punched the wind out of him. She stood there wide eyed and dazed, her cheeks pink with embarrassment and her lips slightly red and swollen... evidence that she had just been thoroughly kissed. Jealousy and anger surged right back to him. Swiftly turning on his ankle, he followed Battousai out on the main grounds.

"What the hell did you just do to her" he growled out to him

Battousai merely looked at him"I just kissed her."

"Kissed! KISSED! YOU JUST RAVAGED HER IN FRONT OF THE OTHERS" he yelled out loud

A dark, seductive smile crept to his lips"I don't classify that as ravage... just yet."

The Rurouni could only stare for a moment before he exploded once again. "Don't you dare touch her again..." he whispered with cold fury.

An answering smirk. "Or what Rurouni? What would you do" he whispered as he slowly made his way to face his gentler side"you can't kill me... 'cause we're one and the same. Same person only with different personalities molded by different times... so, what would you do" he challenged the other. "I am only doing what I have thought of doing to her for quite a long time. And as for you, you can't deny the fact that you want her as well, you can't deny it because I know you, as well as you know me. Now, the question is, what are you going to do about it, Rurouni... I've made my move... what's yours"

The Rurouni could only stare at his counterpart quietly. The anger had left him as soon as he had heard those words. Can't deny the fact that you want her as well... he stood there pondering on what Battousai had said. I've made my move... what's yours... It was clearly a challenge.

A challenge and the prize was the sweetest any could have ever imagined.

The Rurouni stood there before a cold smile made its way to his handsome face. Battousai was right, there was no denying the fact that he was hopelessly in love with a certain blue eyed kenjutsu shihondai.

He smiled darkly as his amethyst gaze rested at the back of the former hitokiri.

Let the games begin.
