Chapter 8: Practice makes perfect - the finale

Kaoru stretched her lithe form and yawned. It had been a very relaxing day, Yahiko out at the Akkabeko, Sano spending his time with Megumi more than usual. She smiled, the rooster head seemed to search out the kitsune more than ever after their little tryst courtesy of her devious husband. Speaking of the devil, she tilted her head to regard the red head washing the laundry with a satisfied air. She would never have thought that her innocent rurouni can come up with things to do as much as he had already shown her in a span of two months within their marriage. She shivered deliciously at the thought and nearly jumped in surprise when she felt strong arms wrap themselves around her waist.

Turning her head, she flushed slightly pink as she saw the object of her contemplation nuzzling her neck in a most sweet manner. Kenshin smiled, leaning his head to rest on her forehead, he brushed his nose along hers, his bright fiery locks brushing and tickling her face as he did so.

"What could my lovely wife be thinking on such a beautiful day as this to mar her tender beauty with such seriousness?" he murmured into her mouth as he grinned at her.

Kaoru could only brush and pouted lovingly at him. "I'm bored, anata…"

Kenshin eased back a little so that he could loot at her cute pouting face with interest. "What would you like to do, koishii?"

His little wife grinned at him devilishly. "Would you like to train with me, anata?" she asked him innocently, but it was obvious with the glimmer in her eyes that she was planning to do something less than innocent.

He merely shook his head and looked at her chidingly but accepted her offer none the less. His wife grinned happily and jumped up to change into a more suitable attire. Heading to the dojo ahead of her, he couldn't but help laugh at her obvious delight. He looked at the dojo and grinned, this was where it all began… where a simple sword practice turned into something more than just plain practice. Placing his sakabatou at one of the racks, he replaced it with one of the wooden swords used for training.

Kaoru hummed happily as she changed, she was definitely expecting for a more pleasant sport between them after their practice. As she made her way to the dojo, she stopped at the doorway to look at her husband. He was deep in thought since he didn't even notice that she had already arrived.

"What are you thinking about, anata?" she whispered

Kenshin turned to see his wife leaning casually at the doorframe, a gentle smile graced her beautiful face. He merely shook his head and looked at her, tossing her one of the wooden swords, he quietly admired the way she gracefully caught it in her hand. "I was merely thinking about this place…"

She tilted her head in question as they took their place, "What about it?"

He smiled darkly at her, "Don't you remember, koishii? This is where it all started…"

She looked at him blankly for a moment before recognition flashed in her eyes. She chuckled, "Well, it seems that you are right… it all started here." Giving him a lopsided grin, "Would you like to go at it again, battousai?" she whispered seductively

Amber flared in his eyes before he took position. "Prepare to lose, koishii."

Sapphire orbs flashed back at him. "You wish!" she yelled before she launched herself at him.

Kenshin blocked her downward slash, "You are so predictable, koishii…" he murmured igniting the fire in those blue orbs.

Kaoru twisted her body and slammed her elbow to his side. Kenshin grunted as dropped kneeling to the floor as he held his aching side, looking up, he saw his wife grinning dangerously down at him.

"Do you even think Kenshin that I'm going to let you beat me that easily this time?" she purred at him, he merely smirked as he stood. Positioning himself to his battou jutsu stance, Kenshin waited until she attacked. When it was apparent that she wasn't going to move, he decided to go after her. Using his god-like speed, he disappeared before her only to reappear behind her. Drawing his sword, Kenshin's amber eyes widened when his sword hit against hard wood.

Kaoru grunted as felt the impact of Kenshin's sword push her a bit backward, she grinned. It was nice to think that Kenshin now sees her as his equal, no more thinking that she needs to be protected like some porcelain china doll. But as her sword faltered, she smiled saucily up at him before she crouched and swiped his feet from beneath him. Kenshin flipped over to prevent from falling flat on his back with her counter attack, he looked at his wife. Where the hell did she learn how to fight like that?! He thought as his eyes narrowed dangerously at her.

She could only smile even more as she took in her husbands face. He was definitely not liking this.

With a growl, Kenshin launched himself against her, Flipping above her head before she could kick him, he brought his sword down to her sword hand. Sensing what he was about to do, Kaoru twisted on her ankle as she whirled around him and swiped her bokken to his side. Kenshin barely blocked the attack and gritted his teeth. He had completely underestimated the skills of his lovely wife. He should have known better.

Concentrating even harder, Kenshin and Kaoru continued their practice until Kenshin came out on top of Kaoru, his sword pressed firmly on her throat and her own sword far away on the other side of the wall where it slid when Kenshin twisted her arms using their swords until she had practically had to release her sword to prevent it from breaking.

He grinned ferally down at her upturned face. "Well… now who's on top, koishii?"

Kaoru pouted before she dissolved into peals of laughter. "Alright you win…. Just get off me, Kenshin… you're heavy."

Brushing his lips to hers, he chuckled, "Now I believe that you owe me something…" he whispered before he helped her to stand up. Wrapping his arms around her waist from behind her, he inhaled her sweet jasmine scent from her hair and proceeded to lick at her neck and nibble at her ear. Dropping the wooden sword to the floor with a loud clatter, Kenshin inserted his hand inside her gi and fondled her breasts with his hand while the other moved lower to stroke her nether regions despite the hakama that stood in the way.

The raven haired kenjutsu shihondai moaned out loud at his ministrations, struggling to release her mind from its pleasurable state, Kaoru tugged at his red locks and urged him to look at her. "Room, now." Was all she could whisper to him, but he seemed to know when he picked her up in his arms and quickly made his way to their room. Kicking the door open and sliding it shut with his foot, Kenshin pressed his wife to the wall and continued to ravish her mouth as her long nimble legs wrapped themselves around his waist. Kaoru moaned as she felt his mouth move down to her throat to her breast, stifling a scream as he took suckle at the firm bud that was covered with her bindings, she grasped at his head tighter as she pushed her breast deeper into his mouth.

Relinquishing her breast, Kenshin grabbed the soft linen and yanked it off her body to reveal her full breast. He looked at it for a while wondering at why he thought that something was definitely amiss. Caressing that specific part of her body nearly drove Kaoru crazy with want. Looking down to ask him why he stopped, she frowned when she saw that he was staring at the breasts. Yanking hard at his hair, she grinned darkly when she heard his faint yelp. Amber meeting sapphire, she lowered his head to capture his lips in a hungry kiss.

His previous observation forgotten, the fire that raged through him ignited once again as he plundered her soft mouth, his hands greedy to touch the soft flesh beneath. Swiftly removing her hakama in one practiced swift move, he pushed her higher to the wall and played with the little nub at the apex of her thighs. He smirked darkly as his fingers found exactly what he was looking for, her hands clenching on his shoulders in reaction.

"Hnnnn, nice and soft… pretty wet already, koishii?" he murmured teasingly in her ear, his warm breath caressing her as he spoke.

She shivered delightfully. Throwing her head back to bare her throat, Kaoru couldn't help containing the moans that escaped her throat as his hands worked their magic in her body. Her eyes flew open when she felt Kenshin sheath himself inside her even before she noticed. Pushing her against the wall, he braced her body at the hard surface behind her while her pushed deeper into her body. Her thighs tightened its hold around his waist as he felt her stiffen, looking at her beautiful face, he eyed her possessively as she threw her head back and screamed out loud as she came, her body convulsing around him. Fighting his urge to fall with her, he bit his lower lip to maintain his control. Moving away from the wall, he placed her trembling body on the soft futon, even without breaking their contact. Kissing her deeply, he slowly slid out of her body earning him a sharp gasp from the female shihondai. Lowering his head, he braced her knees on his shoulders, he grinned darkly as he eyed her damp curls. Inhaling her sweet scent, Kenshin took one tentative lick. Enjoying the test very much, he licked her long and hard this time.

Kaoru screamed as she felt Kenshin lick at her clit. Throwing her head from side to side, she thrashed beneath him as he continued with his delicious ministrations driving his wife in a delirium of want. Just as she came for the second time, he watched with amber eyes as she relaxed for a bit, sliding her legs off of him, he called her name.

"Kaoru…"

"Kaoruuu…."

Blinking drowsily up at him, she gasped when she saw his amber eyes and felt his deep thrust into her body. Grabbing his slick sweat covered back, Kaoru tried to hold on to him as he brought her yet again to the brink. Mouth opening to a scream, Kenshin forestalled her. Clamping his mouth on hers, he savored her scream on his mouth as she came convulsively around him. Closing his eyes, he groaned her name a he followed her deep into oblivion.

She had invited him for a sword practice as the sun was still high, now it was almost dark as Kenshin looked down at the beautiful face of his wife. She blinked drowsily up at him, smiling contently as she saw his gentle face above her, burrowing her face in the crook of neck.

"Kaoru?"

"Hnn?"

"Kaoru?"

The raven haired girl wondered at his worried and curious eyes as he looked down at her. "Nani, Kenshin?"

He merely looked at her while his hands skimmed her full breast… much fuller than when he had held her last. "Daijobou?" he whispered

"Eh?" she looked at her husband worriedly until she realized what he was worried about all of a sudden as she felt him caress her breasts. She couldn't help but laugh out loud serving to worry the ex-hitokiri even more.

"Koishii?" voice laced with worry

Kaoru shook her head and laid flat on her back. "Anata…" her voice becoming soft as she looked at him gently, although a bit worried. "What would you like to name our first child?"

Kenshin merely stared at her, the circular pattern on her breast that he was drawing stopped, he eyed her in shock… "Are you telling me.. that I... that you…" he couldn't say it, lest he was only dreaming.

At her joyous laugh, he knew he wasn't. He laughed out loud and hugged her tightly. Kissing her deeply, he chuckled as he released her. "Are you sure, koishii? When did you know?!"

Kaoru laughed at his obvious happiness. "Very sure, Kenshin. Megumi was the one who examined me and determined I must have conceived about three weeks ago…"

Three weeks ago… "You mean… but how…"

She laughed, "Hai… it was about when we did a certain kitchen and bath tryst, I guess they were right when they said practice makes it perfect ,ne anata?"

He couldn't help but laugh as well. Holding her spooned against him, he continued to stroke her back, content with the feeling of security and happiness that surrounded them. Otousan… I'm going to be a 'tousan!!! He thought with pride and happiness.

"Hnnn… Kenshin…. Speaking of trysts…"

Soft amethyst eyes looked down at her questioningly, "What about it, koishii?"

"Can you just tell me you got your ideas for those trysts? Especially with Sano."

Kenshin merely looked at her and chuckled. "Sessha saw your diary."

Kaoru merely gaped at him. "You… saw… you … read…." She blinked then it all clicked in place raising her body with her arm, she glowered dangerously at him.

"HIMURA KENSHIN!!!! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU'VE READ MY JOURNAL?!!!!!!"

Kenshin could only chuckle at his wife's anger, running his hands behind her to comfort her, he looked at her devilishly. "I don't remember you complaining…"

Her mouth fell open. She closed it and tried again, and again and again. Kenshin could only chuckle at his wife's reaction before pulling her down to him and giving her a long sensuous kiss.

"It doesn't matter anyway, koishii… I've managed to learn a lot about what you like on that journal…"

Kaoru blushed. "But it's so embarrassing…"

He frowned. "It is not embarrassing… besides, I was the only one who read it. Don't worry, no one will ever know."

"Honto ni?"

Leaning his head to hers he kissed her gently. "Honto ni…"

Kaoru sighed in relief then asked him a question… "What are you going to call our child?"

Kenshin thought about it for a while and smiled. "If it's a girl then we are going to name her, Sakura, and if it's a boy… we'll name him Kenji. Does that sound fine to you, koishii?"

Kaoru smiled. "It's perfect."

Kenshin smiled at his wife and kissed her before holding her safely spooned against his form.

"Aishiteru, Kaoru-koishii…"

"Mmmm, aishiteru, Kenshin-anata…."

He smiled and laid his head on the crook of her shoulder and chuckled lightly when he thought of what his wife said earlier… practice makes perfect… he gaezed lovingly down at his wife, they were now expecting their very first child… and it all started with a simple practice time.
