Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Rurouni and Battousai ❯ the next step ( Chapter 6 )

Rurouni and Battousai   Chapter 6: The next step   Kaoru tried to hide the mischief in her eyes as she eyed the rurouni who was currently preparing their lunch. It had been a week since the separation fiasco and she was already elbow deep in studying the old texts her mother left behind for her to learn about the magical scriptures of the past. She had still found no way of returning the rurouni and battousai back to normal but things had been pretty exciting for all the occupants of the dojo. Exciting especially if you want to know who’s gonna win their little cat and mouse game… trio style. Sano had made it plain that he wanted to stay and watch, so did Yahiko… the only person who made it just as plain that they didn’t want any interruptions was Battousai himself. Kaoru hid the grin that made its way to her face by lowering her face in the book in her hands.   It was also a whole full week where she dared to do what she had never expected to ever in her life, namely, seducing two men… two former hitokiri’s. Granted that they’re only one and the same, the problem is, they’re still in two separate bodies and two very different personalities. She shivered slightly, Battousai’s movements have been more daring, while the Rurouni’s actions have been more audacious than before. She bit her lip, not that she wasn’t in the same position as the two of them, she was even worse. She shook her head ruefully, yep… just what would her mother think if she ever saw her daughter act the way she was acting at the moment with these two. She gasped when warm arms wrapped themselves around her trim waist. Turning her head to the side, she gasped when Battousai took her lips in a deep sensual kiss.   “Something wrong, koi?” he whispered darkly at her.   The Rurouni turned from his work and grinned chidingly at them. “Maa… Battousai, I think Kaoru has yet to eat, ne? And I won’t be able to finish cooking without the tofu. Now would you mind going out to buy that tofu?”   Battousai merely glared at him before he disappeared to do exactly as he was told. Kaoru blinked and chuckled when she realized that Battousai indeed had followed what the rurouni had told him to do.   “I’ll be…” she chuckled, “he just did what you just told him to do…”   The Rurouni laughed, “Well, I believe that he, just as I do, doesn’t want our beautiful koibito to starve…” he told her as he flipped a finger to her nose.   Kaoru laughed. She had never been so happy in her entire life… granted that none of them had really told each other what truly lies in their hearts but the attention and the playful affection they were showing to one another was enough… even for just a little while… it was enough for her.   She chuckled and looked at the book in her hands, she had now began understanding what it really means to be a miko, began learning the spells, and began learning what it truly means to be a Kamiya.   Rurouni leaned in and took her mouth in a sweet gentle kiss, Kaoru had to smile deep within her head, Battousai’s approach was the aggressive approach while the Rurouni chose the gentle approach… it was soo, sweet… and it definitely defined the difference between the two men. Just as the Rurouni released her, Kaoru dropped the book she was holding and grabbed his head, deepening the kiss.   The Rurouni, a bit shocked at her reaction, had to smile and indulged himself in deepening the kiss, Kaoru’s playfulness had shocked him, but it had also pleased him that she was willing to join in their game, for a week now, Battousai and him have been on the war path to seduce this beautiful kenjutsu shihondai… although the seduction plan was going quite easy especially with Kaoru’s participation. Desire hummed in his blood, he wanted her, he wanted her so much that it hurt. Just before he could take things further, he sensed the presence of Sano and Yahiko coming inside the dojo. He groaned and lifted his head from hers, panting a bit. He managed to disentangle himself from her arms before the latter stepped in the kitchen.   “Oi! Kenshin! What’s for lunch? I’m hungry!” Sano called out to him   “Yeah! Me too! Isn’t lunch ready yet?” Yahiko echoed Sano’s call as the two conveniently flopped themselves on the table. Kaoru merely glared at the two for ruining her beautiful moment with the Rurouni… typical jerks… she thought sullenly as she glared the two still complaining about the lateness of lunch being served.   “Just what the heck are you two doing here again? Sano? Mooching for lunch, I suppose? And Yahiko,” she said as she turned to eye the kid directly, “I thought that you were supposed be at the Akkabeko to help out Tae and Tsubame?!”   “Awww. Jou-chan, don’t ya miss us? Besides, aren’t you tired of just seeing Kenshin here?” he asked her, but his eyes shone of mischief.   Kaoru glared at him and before she could summon a retort, Yahiko cut in, “Hmph, I’m sure she going out of her mind with these two here… I’m sure she’s not even allowed to go out or train!” he howled out loud   Kaoru’s face turned red at his words, red with anger, just before she could hit Yahiko on the head, she could only gape at him when the self proclaimed Tokyo-samurai’s head was pushed forward forcefully with a strong knock on the head courtesy of Battousai himself. She grinned from ear to ear at his actions, even Sano had to gape stunned at what Battousai did.   Yahiko rubbed his head gingerly. “Hey! What the heck was that for?!” he howled out loud   “That was for not respecting your sensei.” Came the low answer   Yahiko could only gape and turned his head to look at the Rurouni, the only response he got from the Rurouni was a small shrug. He looked at both Kaoru and Battousai, who was now sitting by her side and looked down on his lap, still holding his head gingerly. Sano could only grin, poor kid… he looked at the pair sitting side by side and knew that there was no way that Yahiko was going to get away with his rude remarks with Battousai around.   He chewed his fish bone and gazed at Kaoru thoughtfully. “So, jou-chan…” he drawled casually. “Have you found a way to reverse that spell?”   Kaoru looked at him and flushed slightly pink and shook her head. “Iie… gomen… I’m already elbow deep in studying these scriptures but I’m not yet close in finding the reverse spell… I never knew that it was this hard…” she answered truthfully.   The Rurouni placed the utensils on the table before them, “Maa… I think Kaoru has been trying her best to find the reverse spell, ne?”   Battousai could only give a loop sided grin, “And besides, we’re not in a hurry to get back together…things are more interesting this way…” he told them almost a bit lazily.   Kaoru flushed brick red and glared at Battousai while Sano could only choke at his tea and started laughing out loud, with Yahiko gaping at the amber eyed Kenshin. The Rurouni on the other hand could only shake his head contritely. “Maa… let’s forget this for a while and concentrate on food shall we?” he told them cheerfully as he raised his own chopsticks.   “Itadakimasu!”   =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0 =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=   Kaoru combed her hair and let it cascade down her back in rich dark waves. She looked at the notebook before her and sighed. “What on earth were you thinking okaasan, when you created this spell?” She gasped when the comb in her hands disappeared only to be replaced by warm hands. She stilled and tried to distinguish who was combing her hair with such gentleness, it wasn’t until he gently nuzzled her neck that she realized just who exactly was right behind her.   “You know you really should drop that habit of sneaking up on people…Battousai.”   A husky laughter greeted her ears as lean arms wrapped around her waist as he lowered his head on her shoulders. “Hnnn, old habits are hard to die…” he whispered as one of his hands wandered over her body.   Kaoru gasped and turned to face him, her eyes filled with different emotions that she could not voice out loud. Uncertainty, trust, desire. Battousai leaned his head towards hers, “I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do…” he whispered huskily before he captured her lips in a hungry kiss, ignoring her sharp intake of breath of shock.   She tried to move her head away, only to have him clasp his hands firmly on her nape to prevent her from escaping him. After a few moments, his arms tightened around her in satisfaction when he felt her give in to his ministrations. He slid his arms from her back to the front of her yukata, and slid his hands to the warmth inside. Kaoru gasped and wrenched her head from his, her eyes wide with apprehension.   “Do you trust me, Kaoru?” he asked her, his eyes gleaming with barely concealed desire.   Kaoru shivered uncontrollably, she knew that this was going to far, but a part of her wanted this, wanted this from the moment she had laid her eyes on him. But is this what she really wanted? One look in his amber orbs and she knew her answer.   “Yes.”   With her answer, Battousai reached for her in a fierce embrace and kissed her with all the hunger that had been kept in check for the past year. Kaoru shuddered and answered his hunger with her own fierce wanting. As they both tumbled down on her futon, she lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck and watched his fierce features watch her every movement.   “What ever happens… I trust you…” she whispered as she let one finger trace his lips.   =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=   Kaoru blinked drowsily at the ceiling and smiled happily. It has already been a year… but damn… it was worth the wait… she thought as she looked at the slumbering hitokiri beside her. His arms wrapped around her waist in a protective manner. Without the Rurouni controlling him, he didn’t waste much time in making his motives known to her… speaking of the Rurouni, Kaoru bit her lip to keep from laughing out loud. oh, dear… what would the rurouni think… wait scratch that.. what would he say? Despite her efforts from trying not to laugh, she couldn’t help the giggle that escaped her lips.   Battousai had awakened with the slight movement of her head, but kept his eyes closed and tried to figure out what she was doing but at the sound of her soft giggle, he couldn’t help but open his eyes and regard her with overly curious eyes.   Kaoru blushed when she saw Battousai’s amber eyes regarding her curiously. She burrowed her head in his shoulders and let loose a peal of giggles.   “Kaoru?” he asked her worriedly   As her giggles subsided, she laid her head on his chest and murmured, “I wonder what the Rurouni would say once her knows what had happened here tonight…”   A grin made its way to his lips as he heard her response. “Hnnn… more likely, it would be fun to watch what his reaction would be…” he murmured gently as his hands idly stroked her hair.   He looked down and watched Kaoru and had to chuckle lightly when he saw that she was already fast asleep. Leaning back comfortably on the futon below him he smiled in satisfaction and followed her in a deep slumber.   =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=   AN: Sorry if took me this long to update… had a hard time juggling with my schedule especially with my finals coming up around the corner!
