The rhythmic sound of rain echoed inside the land rover causing at least one of the occupants to yawn. Stifling the sound they shifted into a better position to watch the rain pour down. Wondering not for the first time that day how Kaoru was handling everything, or if she even knew. Slender brows dipped in concern for her friend knowing how the older girl would react once she found out everything that the file left out.
 
“Do not worry so much.”
 
Murky green eyes glanced towards the driver's seat where her companion was sitting. His attention was still on the road before them even though they were no longer in motion his hands resting comfortably on the wheel.
 
“I'm not worried the rain will let up soon.” She said before turning back to her gazing
 
“I was not referring to the weather.”
 
She turned slightly towards him only to stop inches from his face, blushing faintly she began to pull back only to be stopped as long lean fingers held her chin gently. Not wanting to look at him she averted her eyes before speaking.
 
“ I know.”
 
Crystalline eyes watched the young woman's down cast features; her long lashes concealing a pair of very expressive cerulean eyes. Tugging slightly on her chin to grab her attention he began to talk again.
 
“ She will be fine. She is in very good hands, if she were not I would have objected to her going with him however much I wished to be alone with you.”
 
She jerked her gaze around at the whispered words her startled eyes staring helplessly as a pair of crystalline eyes moved closer to her. She felt him stop just a breath away his gaze never leaving her own his thumb gently caressing her jaw causing her to fidget and squirm.
 
As the minutes ticked by and he made no attempt to neither close the gap nor move away she jumped at the impulsive thoughts drifting through her head and closed the small gap between them. Her lips pushed against his before parting slightly to let the tip of her tongue out to glide along his lower lip.
 
He could feel her small hands moving over his arms before gripping his jacket and pulling him forward crushing his upper body against her own. The feel of her soft flesh rubbing against his own and the feel of her sweet lips on his own caused his self-control to slip. His hands left her shoulders to roam over her warm body pulling her lower half closer to his own even as he grabbed her neck tipping it back to deepen the kiss, his tongue sweeping the inside of her mouth causing a small moan to vibrate in her throat.
 
His left hand lifted her right leg and wrapped it around his waist as he pulled her from her seat and across the consol and into his own, her body resting fully against his now. The feel of her heat scorching his cold skin had a small shudder going through him.
 
When was the last time he had felt such heat, when had a body been so warm and pliant to the touch? Wanting it, no needing to be touched by him. If he had thought he had experienced this feeling before then it paled compared to what she was causing him to feel and they were only kissing, just imagining what it would feel like to have her naked and writhing under him, her hot silken walls surrounding him, pulling on him.
 
He couldn't breath.
 
He pulled back as he felt his body tighten and his blood heat, the beast was starting to wakening and if he didn't reign him in then there was no way he would be stopping and she deserved something better.
 
Heavy breathing was the only thing heard for a few moments each one trying to catch their breaths, cool their emotions and regain some semblance of thought. She surprised him yet again for when she spoke it was not what he had been expecting.
 
“It's about god dam time.” She growled
 
He glanced at her his head tipping forward to be level with her own, her eyes were still slightly glazed over, desire causing their normal color to darken to a deeper blue it almost looked green. He could feel his body swaying towards her and he felt unable to stop it, nor could he stop her when she leaned back down and began to slowly kiss him anew. The fire that had tempered off roaring to life once more, the beast raging on the inside to be let out and claim the wild temptress in his arms.
 
That temptress was currently grinding her lower half into his own while her hands slipped inside his shirt to ghost over his flesh tracing every curve and groove pulling another low moan from his throat. She couldn't possibly know what she was doing, he had never once seen her with anyone, nor had he heard about her being with anyone. How could someone as innocent as her know anything about this?
 
His thought process shut down the moment he felt slender fingers slip under his waist band and travel lightly over his erection.
 
What was he thinking about again?
 
 
Misao grinned when she felt his hips jerk towards her and a low groan rumble in his chest. Nipping his bottom lip she began to leave a trail of kisses down his jaw over his neck and towards his shoulders, stopping there shortly to give a light bite before soothing it with a leisurely swipe of her tongue before moving down to his chest to feather kiss lightly over each nipple then trailing back up all the while letting her fingers dance along his arousal, gripping it every now and then before trailing the back of her nails up it.
 
He could feel his vision hazing over in a sheet of red; the world had been drowned out long ago by the sound of blood pounding in his ears and the cry of the beast to take her now. Unable to control his actions he pulled her head up taking her mouth in a savage kiss while ripping open her shirt the buttons popping off flying in all directions a few hitting the side window. As he trailed his nails over the exposed flesh moving his mouth over the slightly salty skin, teeth scrapping over the taunt breast he could feel his conscious mind slipping farther and farther away.
 
He was thrown into reality by the shrilling scream of his phone; it was like a bucket of cold water dumped over him. Breathing erratic and hands a little shaky he pulled out his phone and snapped it open.
 
“Shinamori.” Was the surprisingly calm voice
 
As he listened to the caller he began to reclaim his control and noticed that his little temptress was just beginning to regain her own and she wasn't looking too happy if he was reading her right.
 
“Understood.”
 
Hanging up he slipped it back inside before giving his full attention to the half dressed woman sitting on his lap. Not a bright move, just looking at her caused a knot to form in his stomach reminding him what they had just been doing.
 
“We have an emergency.”
 
Misao just stared at him for a few moments before sliding off his lap and climbing back over the console. As the car started up she began to adjust her clothes noticing that a majority of the buttons were missing from her top. Casting a quick glance at her companion she noticed him staring at her. Arching a brow she only had to wait all of ten seconds before a dark blue sweater was handed to her.
 
“Thanks.” She mumbled and she shrugged into it at the same time ridding herself of the ruined shirt.
 
When she felt the vehicle move she glance once more at his profile before turning back towards the side window to watch the drizzle of rain while silently cursing who ever had interrupted hoping a swift death to them for ruining the perfect opportunity for her. How was she ever going to get him alone with her now?
 
 
OoOooOoo
 
Kaoru frowned as she stared at the hanging bridge, it looked ready to fall apart the moment someone touched it and she was being told that's how they were going to cross the chasm they had encountered.
 
“Don't worry missy I'm sure it'll hold us. You though I'm not so sure.”
 
Before he could even get the laugh out he found his face kissing the dirt and a pair of brown hiking boots walking past his line of vision. Lifting up on his elbows he watched the rest of her walking away a grin working its way onto his face at the sight of her nicely shaped backside. It too was blocked from his line of sight when Kenshin stepped in front of him.
 
Grabbing the other's offered hand he pulled himself up eyes straining to catch a glimpse of her one more time. The pain shooting up his arm brought his attention to a pair of swirling violet eyes.
 
“Err…thanks Kenshin.” He said scratching the back of his neck before stepping around the immortal.
 
They caught up with Kaoru just as she took a step onto the bridge her foot barely touching it before she pulled back a look of unease on her face.
 
“Are you sure there's no other way across?” she asked turning towards their young guide.
 
Chiro nodded his head before motioning for her to go. Blue eyes turned to glance over at Sano and Kenshin before turning back towards the expanse of the bridge. It seemed so far away and the drop, she didn't even want to think about that. Sucking in a deep breath she placed her foot on the first plank, fingers gripping the worn and dusty rope.
 
The bridge creaked and bounced slightly from the sudden weight but otherwise held. The breath she had been holding escaped on a sigh of relief encouraging her to take a few more tentative steps. Slowly keeping her hands gripped tightly on rope she made her way across the bridge only to yelp and grip the rope even tighter as it began to sway.
 
Glancing back she found the cause of it. Sano had stepped onto the bridge along with Kenshin and Chiro the added weight was putting strain on the decrepit bridge and it was causing her stomach to churn and flip.
 
“Will you get off!” She shouted back towards the boys
 
“Sorry missy but how do you think we're going to get across, fly?” Sano shouted back a light chuckle in his voice.
 
“You could swim for all I care just stop shaking the bridge!”
 
“We should keep moving.”
 
Kaoru turned her gaze to their young guide before taking in a few gulps of air and continuing on the slow journey of crossing the bridge. She so hated this part of the job this and lab work. She really hated lab work, all the stuff they had to analyze half of it she didn't even want to know where it came from or how they got it. Just as she was starting to pity Yahiko the sudden drop broke her out of her thoughts and a scream to rip from her throat.
 
Blinking rapidly she glanced down to find she wasn't falling anymore, her left foot had only broken through one of the blanks and her leg was now dangling over nothing while she gripped the side rope.
 
“Kaoru don't move and just hold on!”
 
“Like I'm going anywhere Sano no baka!”
 
She felt a pair of hands wrap around her waist after a few moments before feeling her body being lifted up, instinctively she wound her arms around their neck and closed her eyes shut she did not want to see anything but solid ground once she opened them again.
 
“Kaoru you can open your eyes.”
 
Blue eyes opened at the gentle command to see the ground below her, body sagging in relief she let her head drop against the person holding her. A quick glance up showed her savior to be Kenshin. Blushing she climbed awkwardly out of his embrace landing clumsily on the ground.
 
“Thanks.” She mumbled before stepping away
 
A quick glance back showed Chiro and Sano making their way onto solid ground, her heart beat slowing down from it previous erratic beat. She really hated fieldwork, why couldn't she just sit at a desk and type and maybe answer the phones. She could deal with that, it was safe and nothing tried to eat you, kill you, or mame you.
 
“Come on missy quit spacing out.”
 
“I wasn't…” she trailed off when she saw they were already a few feet a head of her. Grumbling she turned and hurried to catch up.
 
OoOOooOOoo
 
She was still grumbling as they climbed up the steep hill, the foliage around her slapping against her body every time Sano moved something. Eyebrow twitching in annoyance she gripped the nearest branch and began to haul her body up the small steep just as she got her foot up the branch snapped and she lost her footing.
 
Body falling backwards she watched as the boys began to disappear as she started her tumble downwards.
 
“Kenshin!”
 
The red head in question whirled around in time to see her body disappear from sight, his whole being frozen before disappearing completely. Sano watched as his two friends disappeared before turning around and picking up the kid.
 
“Sorry kid but I gotta hurry and I'm not going to be worrying about you too.” He said as he raced back down the slope sliding every so many feet as he hurried to catch up with them.
 
/You better be alive missy/
 
 
The world was topsy turvey as she continued her downward descent her stomach starting to protest from the rapid movement. She was not going to throw up, especially not with Kenshin and Sano near by she would never live it down. No sooner had that thought passed through her mind then everything suddenly turned black.
 
Navy eyes rapidly scanned the area his heart beating a frantic tattoo when he could not find her form. Feeling a sense of panic rise up he took several deep breaths before closing his eyes and opening his senses.
 
He could feel it, a faint ki signature a few yards away from where he was standing. Eyes snapping open he moved towards it, hands pushing away the brush that got in his way. When he found her his heart literally stopped beating. Her body twisted in such impossible ways that he feared the worst. Her skin was covered in dirt and scrapes while a trickle of blood slid over skin.
 
Moving slowly he kneeled next to her his fingers barely touching her skin as he checked for a pulse. When he couldn't find one on the wrist his heart constricted and he felt as though it was harder to breathe. As he moved his hand to check her throat he watched them tremble slightly.
 
Nothing.
 
His heart stopped and he could actually feel his soul die, never mind that he claimed not to have one. Just as he started to lift his fingers he felt the faintest of beats. Unsure whether or not it was his mind playing tricks he waited and he felt it again. It was there, slow and faint but there all the same. He began to breath easy once more as his heart began to pound its steady rhythm.
 
 
`I almost lost her…'
 
`You never had her…'
 
Taunted his darker side. It was true she wasn't his not yet anyway because as soon as she recovered…a pained whimper stopped his thoughts and focused his gaze back on the woman lying before him. Quickly checking her for fractures and finding nothing serious he slipped his arms under her and scooped her up cradling her body against his own.
 
“Kenshin?”
 
The red head turned towards his friend nodding his head yes before moving towards them. Sano let out a sigh of relief before setting their guide down and making his way towards them.
 
“Are you ok?” he asked eyeing the immortal
 
There was a small pause before he nodded his head once more.
 
“Is there someplace near by where we could rest?”
 
Chiro tipped his head backwards a thoughtful look on his face before grinning and nodding his head yes.
 
“The temple is only an hours walk from here.”
 
“Great so lead the way kid.”
 
“Its only an hours walk in that direction.” He said pointing to the side of the cliff
 
Sano let his gaze travel up the vertical incline before moving back towards the kid.
 
“Listen kid don't mess with me.”
 
“I'm not. The fastest way to the temple is to go straight up that way, the way we were going would have taken us there too but it would take about four hours to get there.”
 
Brown eyes moved back over the incline wondering just how they were going to make it up because they didn't have four hours, missy needed help now. When he shifted his gaze over to Kenshin he noticed that he seemed to be sizing up the jump.
 
“You're not going to-“ he was cut off as he watched the red head leap for the cliff his feet touching the side before he pushed off once again. Doing this several more times before he disappeared through the mist.
 
“Well hell…” came the frustrated sigh
 
Glancing at the kid he shook his head before picking him up and placing him on his back.
 
“Hold on tight kid.” He warned before he took off up the rolling incline, it would seem they would be taking the long way and hopefully he'd be able to cut the time in half.
