[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Koaru couldn't believe this. Here she was, Kamiya Koaru, hier to the Kamiya Kashin style of swordsmanship, kissing the legendary Battousai. This wasn't just any kiss though.This kiss caused heat to rise in every part of her body. Before she could respond, Battousai pulled and stared at her with eyes filled with passion."You're not mine yet,but you will be, koishi, you will be,"
he said. Koaru did the only thing a woman would do under the pressure she was under. She slapped him. Right across the face. Battousai put a hand to his cheek where her handprint burned red. Koaru glard at him and said,"I won't belong to you or anyone else, Battousai!" She then turned her back on him as if she couldn't bear the sight of him.
Battousai sat there next to her with a stunned expression on his face.She had slapped him. The greatest man-slayer of the Meiji era was slapped by a slip of a girl that barely reached his chin.He was so surprised to be slapped that he couldn't get angry with her.What really surprised him now was that the mark on his face was beginning to hurt now.He put his hand to his cheek and mentily flinched at the light brush against it. This was definitly going to leave a mark.Not to mention it stung like hell. He kept his hand against his cheek and stared at Koaru's back. As if she could feel him starring at her Koaru turned around.
Koaru looked Battousai in the face and noticed that his hand was on a red mark starting to form where she slapped him. She raised her hand and cover ed his rough hand with her smaller one. Battousai held his breath unwilling t break the spell that seemed to pass through them. Koaru looked him in the eye and he saw guilt written in them. "Forgive me," Koaru asked quietly. Battousai took her hand covering his into his hand and broughtit to his lips and said against them " Of course." He pulled Koaru up into his arms and held her tenderly, contious of her wounds from her father.
She leaned against his right shoulder and her back rested lightly against his legg witch he raised so she could rest against him confortably. Battousai tucked her head under his chin and just held her for a while. Koaru got restless and finally broke the silence " Battousai?" He lifted his head and looked down at her " Yes?" " What did you really mean when you said that I was yours?" she asked. Battousai looked at her and then tucked her head back under his chin. " What Imeant was that we will be together forever nowand iI have no planns of ever letting you go. our fate was sealed the moment I saw you." Koaru looked at Battousai and said "Why do you mean 'our fate is sealed?'" Battousai just sighed and answered " Someonelse heard me say you were mine," Koaru gasped and started to pull away, but Battousai pulleed her tighter into his arms. " I believe who ever over heard me wants to kill me. And he most likely will try and use you to get to me. And if I left you now he would still come after you." " But why?" Koaru said. " Once I claim something I don't give it up. And I won't tolerate someone touching what's mine," Battousai said quietly. " There's that mine thing again. I don't belong to anyone but myself," Koaru stated.
Battousai just smiled over her head over her head and didn't answer.Then he heard foot steps coming down the hall. Sano and Yahiko walked into the roomand saw them together." Missy, you have alot of explaining to do," Sano said. Battousai gently laid Koaru down on her futon and said " go to sleep." He needent of said a thing. As soon as her head hit the piilow she was fast asleep. Battousai leaned down and kissed her forhead and left the room with Yahiko and Sano in tow.
They sat down around the table in the dinning room and the questions began.Yahiko was first."Are you really Battousai the man-slayer? Or are you some clown just using his name to scare people?" Yahiko asked. " I'd like to know that to," Sano said standing up. Battousai smirked and sttod up. He unsheathed his sword and flipped the blade over. He a made quick jerk in Sano's direction and resheathed his sabato. Then the wrap that held Sanos pants up fell open and hipant slid to the floor. Sano looked down and blushed. he reachd down and yanked his pants up and cuffed Yahiko on the back of the head for laughing. " Okay, your not a fraud. Now Why were you holding Koaru like that?" Yahiko said. Battousai just sat there and calmly said " Because she's mine." Yahiko and Sano jumped up and shouted in union " She's what?" Battousai just sat calmly as the others just stood and gaped at him.
Sano and Yahiko once again sat down opposite the Battousai. Sano looked at Battousai and said " I hope ready to cope with spilling blood and dealing with Koaru's anger and hatred." Battousai raised a brow and asked "Why's that?" Yahiko and Sano looked at eachother and then back at the Battousai. " Because you'll have to kill Koaru's father to get to Koaru. And Koaru won't stand for anything to happen to her father." Yahiko said. "Why would she hate me for killing someone for causing her harm?" Battousai asked. "Because even though he hurts her he is still her father. Besides if she won't let her closest friends take care of him what makes you think she'll let you?" Sano said. Battousai looked at him in surprise and said "You tried to kill him?" Sano nodded and said " Ever sence the beatings started." Battousai gave him a hard look and said " When did these beatings begin?" Sano looked down at his hands and answered " The phisical beatings began about a year ago, but the verbal beatings hve been going on for years." Battousai nodded at this. " For now Koaru will get what she wants. I'll not kill Shimaro....Yet," Battousai said.
He then stood up and said " I am going to check on Koa-" all of a sudden a scream pierced through the silence of the house.Using his god like speed he raced to Koaru's room with Yahiko and Sano at his heals.
