A/N: Well, I hope the last chapter was good enough…I personally didn't really know where I was going with that…but, on with the story!

( Seriously, I've like got finals next week, but my inspiration keeps distracting me…whoopsie??) BTW, at the end of the last chapter I wrote something about Aoshi coming back, I edited it out, so if you remember it, please just ignore it, okay?!!

Disclaimer: I really really wish I owned something out of here…I mean…I wouldn't be greedy or anything!! I'm perfectly sure we could all arrange something like visitation rights on Aoshi…and on Kenshin…and on Sano….and on Hiko-samaaaaaaa…. No? Sure? Fine!

^^^^^^

Eventually, Kaoru and Kenshin came back to reality, the sounds from Okina closing up shop downstairs and trying to get Aoshi to do something useful, reminded them both of where they were, and what was about to happen.

Kaoru purposefully leaned further back, pulling the arm Kenshin held wrapped around her waist closer to her in an indirect hug. Just that she knew what she was supposed to do, i.e. go down stairs, help Okina, then go to bed and sleep so they would have enough energy to last through the following day, didn't mean she was ready to give up what she had right now.

Kenshin seemed to be thinking something along the same lines, he actually set the sakabatou aside and thereby made room to wrap his other arm around her as well.

She managed to keep it up for a while, but eventually she felt guilty for letting the old man that had done so much for them clean up by himself, and thinking what she was thinking in his personal family sanctuary.

“Kenshin…I think we should help Okina…And I want to ask him if he knows anything about Yahiko-chan.” She added the affectionate suffix almost naturally. Even without the boy there, she giggled because she could hear him shouting at her in her mind.

She could feel Kenshin nodding against her head, and slowly and reluctantly got up.

Okina was downstairs, cleaning the tables, he had found Aoshi pacing his large, spacious apartment. It sort of made the old man smile. Even though Aoshi wasn't going to admit it, he cared about the girl. And he was having trouble maintaining his calm exterior. He hadn't received any real `thank you' when he had handed Aoshi the bundle containing his ancient kodachi, but he saw the recognition on the young man's face.

Okina knew Aoshi had some memories about the past, nothing substantial though. But the kodachi seemed to re-awaken something. The old man knew his history, so he figured most of Aoshi's memories concerned battles.

Another reason for locking himself away.

Okina just hoped that the spirited girl from Tokyo would be able to remind him of some happy memories.

He was sure at least that with Kenshin handling his sakabatou as he was, and Aoshi reacquainting himself with his kodachi, Misao would be allright.

Behind him, he heard Kenshin and Kaoru coming down the stairs.

Kenshin kissed Kaoru on the forehead. At this moment he felt about ready to overflow. Something about feeling like himself all of a sudden. And being horribly happy about it. He just hoped he would get the chance to convey exactly how he felt sometime later. But for now, the too tiny kiss would have to do.

He set down his sakabatou against the wall and grabbed a broom from behind the counter.

`Might as well do something useful...'

Behind his back, Kaoru was feeling giddy. Extremely giddy. She had been looking into the past, and liking...uhm...loving what she saw there. And now the past just seemed to have stuck on her. Because here he was, the almighty Himura Battousai, sweeping the floor of a local hotel, due to the lack of a tub, suds and dirty clothes.

She quickly grabbed a cloth and joined Okina in cleaning the tables.

`Mou, if he keeps this up, I'll have just that one way of performing my marital duties! Not such a bad idea actually...Hmm...later.'

She grinned and came up behind Okina, gently capturing the older man's attention.

“Okina-san, could I ask you some questions?”

He smiled knowingly, he'd been waiting for that, and the pot of tea on the table in front of him, accompanied by three small cups, proved it.

“Of course. I'll gladly explain everything to you.”

When seats and tea had been distributed, Kaoru hesitantly took the first turn.

“Ano...do you know of someone named Myojin Yahiko?”

That was really all she needed to know. How her own pupil, little brother had done in life, after their tragedy had unravelled itself in front of him.

A smile formed on the man's face.

“Myojin Yahiko was one of my ancestors. He is the one that described you both and others so accurately so that we, me and my family, could recognize you if we ever met. He is the one that was convinced that you two would get a new chance. He just didn't foresee all this other stuff that's happening now.” Okina sighed, as Kaoru smiled happily. `He grew up into the man I hoped he would become then.'

“I'm sorry, but did he marry-“

“Tsubame, yes he did.”

Kenshin chuckled and shook his head.

Okina dove into a cabinet and came out again with an aged piece of rice-paper.

“I think you should read this.”

He handed it to Kenshin who carefully folded it open and laid it out on the table. Okina wandered away again, enthusiastically wiping tables down as he went.

As soon as Kaoru was close enough, he pulled her down to sit on his knee. Kenshin had a feeling this would be something big.

“To whomever may read this,

This sakabatou which has been entrusted to you, belongs to Himura Kenshin, the legendary Hitokiri Battousai. I trust you to leave it exactly in the state in which I have left it, for the cloth in which it is wrapped belongs to the woman who loved him. They never got their chance for happiness in their lifetime. I pray the Kami will grant it them in another lifetime.

The sakabatou, and it's cover will remain in my family until their rightful owners reclaim them.

Signed,

Master of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, Yahiko Myojin.”

Kaoru felt Kenshin staring at her, and blushed, but she wasn't crying. It astonished her as much as it did him. All Kaoru knew, was she felt proud, and happy and perfectly unable to shed a tear for once in her life. She was also stupefied, she'd never guessed that Yahiko actually got everything that went on in their lives. `I suppose I should have laid off the `-chan', ne?' Feeling exceptionally bubbly, she leaned over and kissed Kenshin soundly on the lips, wiping the smile from his face temporarily and completely ignoring Okina for that moment.

Kenshin himself wasn't as surprised that Yahiko understood, but the fact that he went so far as to connect them to each other like this, and to himself, was more than he could have imagined. Although he should have realised that the boy, no, the man was just too stubborn to let something like this go.

He chuckled and kissed Kaoru's nose. He liked the fact that he could do that, just kiss her like that, nothing held back. Kenshin was once again glad they had taken in the street-punk when they had, if only he'd been here to see how happy they finally were. `More like, if only I had pulled my head out of the sand back then...'

Kaoru smiled sweetly and brushed his lips with hers one last time before she pried herself loose and walked towards Okina.

The old man had retreated to a dark corner, sake in hand, and was now wistfully staring into the curtains.

“Okina-san?”

He looked up and rose from his seat when he saw her beaming at him like that. Behind her, Kenshin watched as she walked up to their host and gently kissed him on the cheek.

“Arigatou, Okina-san.” Okina had forgotten he could still blush, and covered his new discovery by quickly sipping some of his sake.

“No, Kaoru-san, thank you. I've known Himura for what he was for years now and I could only wait and pray for this moment. Just the sight of the two of you is more than enough thanks for me. I'm sure my grandfather (someone, is my reasoning right? Or would he have to be Okina's great-grandfather? I just couldn't make up my mind…) would have agreed with me.”

Kaoru's mouth opened and closed without producing sound, but Kenshin, who had by now walked up and wrapped an arm around her waist simply extended his hand to Okina and nodded.

“Yes, I'm sure he would have.”

Okina grinned, and looked at Kaoru who was still astounded.

“My actual full name is Myojin Seiji, but nobody seems to remember.” (I'm pretty sure Nobuhiro-san actually gave him a name, and it's probably somewhere in the manga, but I'm lazy and this just fits for me, ne?)

He mock sighed and turned away to turn of some of the lights.

“I'm going to turn in, oyasumi.”

Kaoru nodded and finally got her voice back.

“Oyasumi nasai…”

^^^^^^^^^^^^

As soon as the old man was out of sight, Kenshin pushed his face into the crook of her neck, covering the small surface with nibbling kisses.

The unexpected move made Kaoru gasp and she bit her lip to keep from making too much sound when his deep voice murmured into her ear.

“We should get to bed too, koishii…”

Her lip still caught between her teeth, she nodded, her hands already locked in his hair.

Feeling her movements, Kenshin pulled away from her neck and captured her mouth.

She couldn't control the sounds that were escaping her anymore, never had she been kissed like that. Not that anyone except Kenshin had ever kissed her at all. But still.

He was overpowering and possessive and turning her knees to jelly just by simply sucking on her tongue. She mentally berated herself for being so easy to turn to mush, but then Kenshin hauled her even closer to him, pressing his lower anatomy into hers and delving even deeper with his tongue. Her neural processes completely gave out. And so did her knees.

It didn't really matter with Kenshin holding her as tightly as he was, but he caught her, pulling away from her lips and breathing as heavily as she was.

When she subconsciously made some small sound of displeasure as he pulled away, she heard him chuckle darkly, the mere sound of it sending serious shivers up and down her spine.

And then that same voice asked her a question, which took some time to register.

“Can you walk, koi?”

Shocked, she looked up and into his eyes. Again he laughed, she looked like a deer caught of an exceptionally large landrover or something. (Ya know, those things with the big bars over the front, I swear they're meant for killing game, or pedestrians, whichever….)

While trying to get some oxygen into her system again, she cursed her self for presenting such an eager target for his ego to pick on.

She was annoyed, `He can turn me to goo with a kiss, and it does nothing to him, well he's breathing as hard as I am, but he's not shaking, is he?! No! He isn't!'.

When she was just on the verge of just giving into him, she leaned against his chest, and an idea presented itself to her.

She stood up as straight as she could, and grinned widely at him, he wasn't so sure he liked it.

Kaoru did though. She slowly disentangled one of her hands from his hair and slid it down his neck, his chest, his stomach to eventually rest lightly over the front of his pants.

`Hah! It did something to him after all, a lot actually I'd say!'

She blushed wildly but didn't avert her eyes from his.

“What about you anata, aren't these pants far too uncomfortable for someone in your state?” For emphasis, she increased the pressure and moved her hand upwards slightly.

Kenshin gasped raggedly and looked into her mischievous eyes. She was chewing her lip again, but every fibre of her inner being was glad to have her vengeance.

But his eyes weren't the least bit shocked. In fact, with her hand placed as it was, she could tell…

`Eh, this turns him on?'

Once again, her eyes widened and Kenshin started worrying again. `Perfect way to scare her away, Himura…'

Kaoru wasn't completely oblivious though. Yes, the thought made her nervous, but excited her none the less. She quickly steeled her resolve.

`No time like the present!'

She locked eyes with him again and renewed her pressure on the bulge in his pants.

“Hmm…Yes, walking can't be easy like that, ne? Anata?” She tilted her head slightly and licked her lips with a not so subtle hint of suggestion.

Kenshin blinked at her, at least a bit stunned this time, and lunged forward. Kaoru would have laughed if he hadn't had her caught the way he did.

This time, his kiss was just as powerful as the last, but with added relief from either party.

Kaoru wasn't sure if he had done it on purpose, but her hand was now caught between their bodies, and every move he made rubbed her knuckles against her own pleasure spot and making it even harder for her to breath.

She had to break from his kiss and tightly grabbed onto his forearms to hold herself steady as she tried to force air back into her lungs.

Kenshin looked at her like that, flushed with her lips red from his kisses gasping for air, again because of him and felt his pride and um…other things swell.

All he knew was that he had to get them to their bedroom before he got out of hand.

She seemed to be thinking the same things, she leaned against his shoulder and muttered something about their room and other people.

He picked her up bridal style and took a deep breath before employing his Battousai-stealth and speed to get to their bed quickly without disturbing anyone.

Before the door Kaoru had already stopped his though.

“Anata, your sakabatou…”

He smiled and carried her over to the spot beside the doorway where he had left it against the wall, bending his knees a bit so she could reach out and grab it.

She sighed as she cradled the precious sword against her body, her slender fingers wrapping and flexing lightly around the smooth, worn surface of the saya. Her heated gaze soon reached his and brought the urgency of the matter home to him again.

“Anata, hayaku…”

He inclined his head and continued on his way.

As soon as they were inside their room, Kenshin put her back on her (wobbly) feet and turned away for a moment to close the door behind them.

He locked up hastily, wanting to get back to what he was doing to Kaoru as quickly as possible, he felt instantly cold the moment he let go of her, but he wasn't fast enough. When he turned, he immediately found the tip of his own, sheathed sakabatou against his chest.

Kaoru grinned at him like the Chesshire Cat while all he could do was quirk an eyebrow at her. Her grin only widened.

“Strip mister!”

Slowly he removed garment after garment under Kaoru's watchful eye and `threatened' by the sword in her hand.

She herself stripped as well, she was still a bit shy about her body, but decided it was only fair, although he might disagree.

Thankfully she had chosen to wear a simple skirt and button-up blouse for the day, so she had no major difficulties.

The moment he dropped his boxers, carefully, she stood up straight, defiantly, his arousal proudly jutting out from his abdomen. Kaoru smirked, something she didn't do very often, but he grew visibly when she looked him over without scruples. She was still wearing her underwear, being handicapped with the sakabatou in her outstretched hand. She suddenly took on a more serious look, pulling her hand back to her body. Keeping eye contact, she took the blade between her breasts, unsheathing it briefly and effectively cleaving her bra down the middle. Then she did the same to her panties at her hips.

Kenshin gulped at her simple but efficient actions. The blade safely in it's saya again, Kaoru pointed it at his now bare chest again. She turned around him, forcing him to turn with her before she backed him up towards the bed. Kenshin hardly noticed any of this, his mind was glued on the fact that her free hand had slowly but surely crept between her legs, it's subtle movement leaving very little to his imagination. Of course, his imagination wasn't in the least bit discouraged.

But it was stopped the moment he collapsed backwards onto the bed.

He tried to get up again but the sakabatou was there again.

“No anata, no moving unless I say so…”

Kaoru sounded playful again, but her face was serious and flushed. She al but moaned at the sight he presented. His eyes, mere slits, were watching her lazily but she knew how alert he was. He lay sprawled backwards over the sheets, his legs dangling over the edge of the bed and parted enticingly. He lay back reluctantly as she advanced on him but craned his neck to see what she was doing.

He nearly wished he hadn't a second after that.

Kaoru had kneeled between his legs at the foot of the bed and was studying his impressive, ever-growing, hard-on. Her other hand still not visible to him. She looked up into his eyes and he groaned deeply. Kaoru grinned again. She liked this power. Definitely.

She poked his chest with the sakabatou once more, for good measure, before she lay it down on the bed beside him.

After defeating the butterflies in her stomach, she reached out her now free hand to wrap lightly around his erection. Kenshin rolled back his head and moaned. The way his hips shifted against her hand fed her confidence and she started moving her hand up, teasing the thick vein on the underside with her thumb.

The feel of him surprised her, she hadn't expected it to be so soft but so firm at the same time. His hips shifted again as he fought to keep quiet as he was ordered.

The heady knowledge that it was her doing, that he was breathing this heavily because of her, that she was paying him back for everything he's made her feel, made her rub her hand against herself more determinedly.

She firmly moved her hand over him watching as pearly white beads of precum formed on the tip of him.

Kaoru moaned again, both at the sensations she was provoking in herself and at the knowledge of what she was going to do next.

Well, at least she was more prepared than Kenshin was, he barely knew what had hit him when he felt some moist warmth enclose the crown of his arousal. But soon enough one quick glance confirmed his suspicion and he moaned her name softly.

Kaoru looked into his eyes and deftly swirled her tongue around the sensitive tip while he watched. He had an extremely hard time trying to keep his eyes open, but somehow he just couldn't tear his gaze away from her. And Kaoru didn't let it stop her. He was surprised, pleasantly, but it seemed as if she had just switched of her `shy-mode'. His thought processes short-circuited again when she suddenly stopped teasing and took him into her mouth as far as she could. Kaoru moaned slightly, she wasn't totally comfortable, but she felt so free and turned on by the simple fact of pleasuring the man she loved so much.

Feeling her hand becoming coated in her own juices, she slipped a finger inside herself making herself moan louder this time.

Kenshin let out something akin to a growl when he felt the vibrations she caused around him and stared imagining what had caused the sound. She moved her mouth up and down a couple of times more before locking eyes with him and slowly coming up, playfully nipping the head of his erection before she let go and climbed up on the bed. Kenshin yelped and found a single word circling around in his mind.

As she crawled over to him and he scooted up further on the bed he chuckled lowly at her. When she was within reach, he stroked her hair and scratched her behind her ear, murmuring softly into her ear.

“Sex-kitten…”

Kaoru finally blushed and swatted half-heartedly at his hand, which only proved his point.

“I like it, koneko…”

His eyes flickered a bit before settling on a sort of gilded violet. He grabbed her wrists and leaned in, pinning her underneath him in a moment. Kenshin grinned at her before he came in closer and started purring to her as he licked and nipped the sensitive tissue beneath her chin. Kaoru gasped and struggled to get free, but he didn't let go. He'd have to eventually because he couldn't reach where he wanted to go with his mouth while holding her hands securely, but he calculated that by then, she would have stopped struggling. He continued licking and biting as he moved down, bestowing extra attention on the undersides of breasts. When he finally let that go and licked his way up to a nipple, she was ready to scream with the sensory overload he had caused.

She was thankful (and severely miffed) that Kenshin had apparently counted on that. Just before he touched his tongue to the hypersensitive bud, he reached out for the sakabatou next to them and placed the hilt end in her mouth.

“Bite down on this, koi, if it becomes too much…”

Of all the arrogant things… But he did save her from waking up the entire hotel.

Kenshin kept going, immensely pleased and amazed by the way her back was so tightly arched towards him, he would have thought she'd snap in two. To think of how little he had done to her up to now to cause it. He was already moving on. He let go of both her hands to support her back while he roughly licked her stomach and they immediately flew into his hair. But he went ever lower, removing his hands again to rest high on the insides of her thighs, pushing the as far apart as possible. He sat up for a moment, giving them both some time to catch their breath. He looked at her heavily lidded eyes and just couldn't resist. He crawled over her, dragging his weight over her body and moved the katana away from her mouth and kissing her deeply.

“I love you Kaoru…enjoy…”

Her eyes sparkled at him and she gasped a bit when he slid the sakabatou back to its original location.

Kaoru couldn't believe his behaviour. She almost wondered if she had accidentally opened his passion-tap. He seemed so much more at ease and playful than before. Suddenly, when he nipped at her bellybutton and she felt his breath on her soaked womanhood, it clicked. `He's not afraid of going too far anymore…Of hurting me…Of driving me away…'

That he had gone from trusting her to trusting himself with her was enough to start her tearing up. But he chose exactly that moment to end the break and start sucking on her clit. She was once again glad with the sakabatou, she was fairly sure her tongue, lips, or neighbours would have suffered if it hadn't been there. She felt her climax coming at her at rocket-speed, and as far as she could tell, it was going to crash hard.

Kenshin listened to the variety of sounds she was making and purred again. He roughly kissed the small bundle of nerves and plunged his tongue as far as he could inside her, rapidly licking at her inner wall.

Kaoru let out a muffled wail and clenched all around him as she collapsed back against the bed, her chest heaving for oxygen. He smiled lovingly and lapped up the juices that flowed out of her before kissing his way up her body again. Kaoru immediately wrapped her arms tightly around him, pressing her face into his hair.

“Ken shin…” She looked up at him with teary eyes and he kissed her lovingly. She broke it, her breathing still uneven, and wrapped her legs around his waist to feel his length resting against her folds.

He grinned down at her as she flexed her hips to urge him closer. Leaning down to kiss her once more as he thrust into her. He swallowed her pleased shout and started moving in firm, solid strokes, leading her and himself to their peaks. Kaoru felt it too, she felt the moans and mewls returned by his own sounds of passion and delighted in it. Before too long they both let go, holding on to the other tightly for support as they sank back to earth.

Kenshin rolled off of her as soon as he felt he could move again and pulled her under the covers with him. The sakabatou having been shoved of the bed somewhere in the process.

She curled up against him and closed her eyes, listening to his heart and immediately felt tears pressing against her eyelids. Kenshin, who was languidly playing with her fingers must have felt her change in breathing because he lifted her face to his and kissed her.

“What's wrong, koishii?”

“I-`m scared, Kenshin…” She rested her head against his shoulder and snuggled closer as he wrapped his arms tighter around her. “It's just…I don't want you to fight…And I feel so guilty about it…” Fresh tears spilled down her cheeks at the thought of denying her best friend her rescue.

Kenshin chuckled lightly, kissing the top of her head and rubbing lazy circles over her arm.

“You're not a bad person, Kaoru, or we both are. I don't want to leave… I don't like the thought of leaving you here and not being here to protect you, but I dislike the thought of taking you with me to where I know there will be danger even more. I don't want to go any more than you want me to. But I'm going to save someone you…and a certain other person we know, love. And that makes me believe that we will all be allright.”

He kissed her forehead again and smiled.

“Aoshi doesn't take defeat very well you know?”

Kaoru smiled sleepily up at him and nodded.

Kenshin scooted further down into the covers and turned on his side facing her. Kissing her one last time he whispered.

“Turn around, koishii. I want to hold you while you sleep…”

She sighed blissfully and did as he asked, turning into his embrace and his warmth and every part of him wrapped around her body.

She just had time to mumble an `love you' before her lids grew too heavy and she fell asleep, followed closely by the man in whose arms she rested.

A/N: Phew…I had meant to get a whole lot of plot-development in here, but I'm slowly losing track of which are actually the filler-scenes here, I think. *blushes madly*. ( Have I moved into smut yet?
