Chapter Three

_________________________________________________________________ ____

 

To Kaoru's eternal relief, Kenshin's eyes remained a soft purple for the remainder of their making the breakfast. But she did eye him carefully every few seconds, just to make sure. He sure was surprising her! He'd shocked her with his hand on her backside and she was pretty sure it had been that damn Rurouni that had done it, rather than Battousai. It was hard to believe that those robbers had freed his emotions, when it could have been done in the many battles that Kenshin had been in since arriving at her Dojo. Kaoru sighed, eyes darkening. She still couldn't figure out why he was acting that way. Had seeing her in danger permanently unlocked his darker side? Or had it been their being tied together naked that had done the deed? Either way, she had Kenshin's full attention and she didn't know whether to enjoy his seduction or run for the hills. Yes, she knew he was trying to seduce her; she wasn't dumb!

Kenshin's head turned and he looked at Kaoru carefully. He had been perhaps too forward with his caresses. She didn't look scared, but she did look rather nervous. He hadn't decided whether she was open to his seduction, or just plain bewildered by it. She had to know by now what he was up to, especially after that kiss and his hand on her backside! Kenshin sighed. What was he doing? Was it really wise to unleash Battousai on Miss Kaoru when it was blatantly obvious that his dark side was just dying to claim her as his own?

"Oi! Is breakfast ready yet?" Sanosuke said, drumming his fingers on the table. There had been no further incidents over the last half hour while Kenshin and Kaoru had cooked breakfast. Missy had relaxed gradually and stopped throwing Kenshin guarded looks and Kenshin had barely glanced her way as he cooked. Whatever had been going on between the two had been either left for later, or faded beneath the iron wills of both. Kaoru wasn't the sort to let Kenshin try and seduce her without a fight! And Kenshin...well, it was good to see he was finally getting some guts! Sanosuke grinned.

"What are you grinning at?" Yahiko demanded, staring hard at the older man.

Sanosuke had been watching Kenshin and Kaoru like a hawk for the last half-hour and he had a sneaking suspicion something was going on. But what it was escaped him! He didn't see anything wrong with Kenshin and Kaoru. It was just a normal morning. "So," he said suddenly, remembering what Kaoru had said earlier. "I hear you chased those bad guys down and beat the crap out of them!"

"Yahiko! Mind your manners!" Kaoru exclaimed, turning to throw him a warning look.

"You're too young to swear, that you are," Kenshin said quietly, also giving Yahiko a warning look. Perhaps Sano wasn't the best role-model a young boy could have and Kenshin knew that both of them had a strong influence on Yahiko.

"Yeah," Sanosuke grinned viciously. "I made 'em bleed good! It wasn't much of a fight though," he pondered.

"Here we go!" Kaoru announced, turning with a bowl in each hand. She walked over and placed them in the center of the table. She turned and almost crashed into Kenshin, who was right behind her with a few bowls of food also. Her stomach jumped at his proximity and her eyes flew to his. Kenshin's purple eyes met hers for a long moment, gentleness and something more in his gaze. His eyes never changed color, but she was sure she had seen possessiveness in his gaze, quickly hidden behind his congenial smile.

"Watch out. You don't want to ruin that lovely kimono, Miss Kaoru," Kenshin murmured, eyes skimming down over her young body. He felt a thrill of possessiveness go through him, but quickly squelched it, meeting her eyes again with a gentle expression. He would not embarrass her in front of Sanosuke and Yahiko! He stepped around her frozen form and continued to the table, placing the bowls next to hers.

Kaoru stood there, gaping. Kenshin had looked at her that way! And he'd given her a once-over before that possession had flittered through his violet gaze again, making her stomach do flip-flops. God, the reaction he had on her! And he hadn't even touched her! She licked her lips and turned quickly, avoiding Kenshin's gaze as she deliberately took her place at the opposite end of the table from him.

Sanosuke's eyebrows rose as he watched the two. How Kenshin's eyes had flashed gold for a moment, as if infuriated with Kaoru over something. He switched his gaze to Kaoru and saw that she was not looking at Kenshin, but was fiddling with her chopsticks. And what was with her changing seating arrangements like that? She usually sat to Kenshin's left as he sat at the end of the table!

"Why are you sitting there, Ugly?" Yahiko demanded.

Sano felt like patting the boy on the back for asking what he couldn't!

"Yeah," he said quietly, eyes going from Kenshin to Kaoru with avid interest.

"I felt like it," Kaoru said through gritted teeth, not looking at Kenshin. Oooh, he was furious at her! She'd felt it in his amber gaze when she'd looked at him and she could feel it now, even at the other end of the table.

Battousai didn't like to be ignored, especially when he was trying to seduce her! Kaoru smiled and flashed Kenshin a triumphant smile. A big mistake! She realized a moment too late that it was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Before her eyes, his eyes changed into a blazing amber, kindling with an inner fire that made her heart leap into her throat. She literally felt as the tension in the room became palatable, the air almost crackling about Battousai's form.

"Miss Kaoru, can sit where she feels like, Yahiko. It's her home," Battousai said in hard tones, voice several octaves lower than usual. His amber eyes burned into Kaoru's lowered face, as her hair shielded her face from them all. Challenge him would she? She thought that she could ignore him and be smug about it? Kaoru was about to get a dose of what it was like to be under his power.

What could he do to her with Yahiko and Sanosuke there? Kaoru tried to keep her smile in place and also tried desperately to rip her eyes from Battousai's...but she could do neither. Her mouth parted and her heart began to thunder in her ears as his golden gaze pinned her to the spot.

Sanosuke's eyes widened in shock and his mouth gaped as he noticed Kenshin's golden eyes, fixed on Kaoru with a restrained fury. What the hell had she done to get that reaction? He started to sweat lightly, feeling the tension in the air.

"Hey, what's going on?" Yahiko asked nervously, feeling the air in the room change drastically. Kenshin was staring at Kaoru with a hard amber gaze that was frightening in it's intensity. "Kenshin?" he whispered nervously, licking his lips. Kenshin was scary!

Battousai's eyes moved from Kaoru's, releasing her. He saw her slump from the corner of his gaze as he focused on Yahiko's freaked-out face. Immediately, he calmed, all fury going out of him as he saw how scared the boy was. Kenshin looked at Sanosuke as his eyes returned to soft violet and saw that the man also looked apprehensive.

"Whew! Kenshin, you're really freaky-assed when you go Battousai!" Sanosuke breathed, running a hand over his sweating forehead. Boy, was he damn glad he hadn't been the one that gaze had been directed at! Come to think of it, what did Kaoru do to get that reaction? He was dying to ask, but for once, he decided to be prudent. This was between Kenshin and Kaoru-whatever the outcome.

"I am sorry about that, that I am," Kenshin murmured, sighing deeply to calm himself. How could he have let Kaoru's taunting go that far? Was he not the famous ex-manslayer, Battousai? Did he not have iron control and an unbendable will? Kaoru could bring out his dark side so easily, it was scaring him also. His eyes went to her face and saw that she was rather pale, but she managed to give him a slight smile to say that she understood.

"What made you go like that?!" Yahiko demanded, sweating also. He looked around hurriedly for any bad-guys, but didn't see any. "Were you remembering the robbers?" he said, as a possible explanation popped into his head.

"Yes!" Kaoru, Kenshin and Sanosuke said in relief. All three exchanged a speaking glance and then they looked away. It was also quite clear to Kenshin and Kaoru in that moment that Sanosuke knew what was going on and that their games were going too far.

Battousai had almost exploded out of him and he had barely held the amber-eyed demon back from leaping across the table and forcefully taking Kaoru. He had been so centered on teaching Kaoru a lesson in possession, that he had completely forgotten Yahiko and Sanosuke and had not cared about the consequences! Damn. Kenshin closed his eyes for a long moment, trying to regain complete control as the other three talked about the robbers. It was getting out of hand and his control was slipping. Battousai wanted Kaoru now and Kenshin was in the most exquisite pain in trying to hold his emotions back. He wanted Kaoru, he admitted it now. Yes, the mild-mannered man who had tried to treat Kaoru like his sister, was finally admitting that he loved her and lusted after her as much as his dark side. Therefore, there would have to be a compromise. A balance.

Kaoru watched Kenshin closely as he sat there with closed eyes, chest rising and falling evenly. He was obviously regretting his rage of a minute before and was having some kind of inner struggle. She felt sorry for taunting him in that way. She shouldn't have done it! But god, what WAS it about that red-haired man that tempted her to provoke his dark side? She knew, the moment she gave him that triumphant look, that Battousai would break loose. She could only be grateful that he had had enough presence of mind to not move. Who knew what Battousai would have done to her? Leapt over the table and kissed her senseless? Ripped her clothes off and taken her to prove whose she was? Maybe...something worse? She flushed slowly, heart beginning to beat faster again as she remembered his thrilling touch. Gods she wanted him, no matter the consequences.

Kenshin's eyes opened and he gazed at Kaoru softly. This woman could send him over the edge with only an expression. It was amazing really. All his control went right out the window and she tempted him like an angel before the devil. His eyes locked on hers, lips moving without sound as he conveyed a message to her.

Consequences. Kaoru got his message loud and clear, his lips forming the word so that Yahiko and Sanosuke could not see. Her actions would be met with raw passion from the man sitting across her from her. And one day, she would go too far and she would be left with whatever he decided to do. She nodded slightly, but couldn't contain the passionate look that crossed her face as her eyes clung to his. She wanted Battousai to lose control deep inside. She found his every movement mesmerizing and tantalizing. She wanted to be kissed with his darkness and burn beneath his caress-and in that moment when that all crossed her face, she knew she was lost. It was only a matter of time before he claimed her as his and was as inevitable as the rising sun.

Kenshin fought Battousai as he rose to the surface under Kaoru's heated look. Did she have any idea of how she looked right then? Like a woman who wanted to be claimed? To be kissed and caressed? To be his? It was for him, that look. He and he alone. His eyes kindled into golden fire and he swiftly lowered his head, shielding his face with his long red hair. In the shadows of his face, his eyes burnt demonically. Under the table, his fists clenched, nails digging hard into his skin. He would be calm! He would not do anything! God, what was she trying to do to him!

"Lets eat-" Sanosuke said, looking up from an argument with Yahiko over his technique in beating up the bad-guys. He broke off when he saw Kenshin's lowered head and the tense shoulders under the gi. The way he seemed like a taut bow about to break. Shit! What did she do now? He quickly looked at Kaoru and saw her wide blue eyes, resting on Kenshin with apprehension. Obviously, she once again knew what she'd done. "Let's eat," he said again, tone harder. Honestly! Those two should go to her room and get it over with! The sexual tension in the room was just embarassing with it's thickness!

"Yes! Let's eat!" Kaoru and Yahiko said at the same time, her tone noticeably more eager.

"Eat. Yes!" Kenshin said, voice strained. He looked up at the three, wondering what Sano and Yahiko thought of his rapidly-changing emotions. Sanosuke certainly knew that it was sexual tension causing the trouble and thank god Yahiko was too young to realize what was going on. He felt sweat trickle down his back and knew his forehead was also beaded. If Kaoru continued to do this to him, he would not be responsible for his actions! His violet eyes hardened slightly as he looked at her. Fine; if Kaoru wanted to play that way, then so would he by god! She was a grown woman and knew exactly what she was doing!

"Right!" Kaoru said with forced brightness, apprehensive when she saw Kenshin's hard gaze resting on her face. She didn't like the look on his face. No, not at all.

"I will get this, everyone," Kenshin said, forcing a smile to his face. Kaoru wanted to play? Well, she could have it then! His purple eyes became speckled with gold and his smile widened devilishly. He picked up his chop-sticks...and then his hand vanished. The other three watched with wide eyes as their plates were filled rapidly with food from the god-like speed of the Rurouni.

Kaoru glanced down at her place and then gave Kenshin a strange smile. It was his own mischievous smile that alerted her, seconds before the tightness around her waist disappeared and something pooled around her legs and the ground. She looked down swiftly in shock to see her obi laying there, unbound.

"Er...missy? You have a-umm...draft," Sanosuke managed, eyes wide and fixed in the general direction of Kaoru's chest. How the hell had her tightly-bound obi come undone so swiftly? His eyes turned to Kenshin's and he stared at the man incredulously. There was just no other explanation! Kenshin had used his god-like speed to undress Missy!

Kaoru looked up further along her body to see her kimono gaping wide, showing the curves of her bandaged chest. "Arrgggh!" she screamed, hands flying up to cover her indecently-exposed body. Her head jerked up as she clutched the two halves of her kimono together, giving Kenshin a death-glare. His expression was innocent, but his violent eyes were swirling with golden specs and contained a wicked gleam. "Why you-!" she gasped, impotent with rage and mortification.

Sanosuke looked from one to the other, eyes narrowing in speculation. Had Kenshin just done that?!

"Hey, Kaoru. You don't know how to dress yourself proper?" Yahiko taunted, smirking.

Damned Rurouni! Battousai was dark and sexy, Kenshin was mild and gentle-but the Rurouni was downright mischievous! He was playing with her! And she knew damn well it was in response to her taunting. Kaoru glared at Yahiko and then the Rurouni, whose face was no longer fixed in an innocent expression, but was smirking openly, purple eyes flecked with gold. She growled low at him, unable to accuse him openly with Yahiko and Sanosuke present.

Rurouni's eyes widened in pleasure at her growl. My, what a fierce wolf she was sometimes! Which suited Battousai perfectly. The wolf and the she-wolf. More amber appeared in his eyes, his smirk fading into a more wicked grin. "Perhaps you should excuse yourself?" he suggested silkily, eyes giving her a silent message.

"She obviously needs someone to show her how to dress!" Yahiko snickered.

Sanosuke hit the boy over the head. "You're on the talk! I've seen you struggling to get your belt on in the morning!"

"When?!" Yahiko shouted, incensed.

Kaoru gaped at Rurouni, then her mouth snapped shut and she flushed lightly. She had no doubt that Battousai would appear in her room to help her if she excused herself to re-wrap the yards of material that made up her obi. So instead, she shot him a narrow-eyed glare that said 'no on your life, buddy!' and began to tirelessly wrap her obi around her waist, while the two men and the boy watched with avid interest. Yahiko had probably never seen a woman get dressed, Sanosuke had probably Un-dressed a woman and left before they dressed and Kenshin...well, who knew if Kenshin had seen a woman get dressed before? She frowned, looking down at the obi as she wrapped it easily about her. Battousai seemed to show a great deal of experience with women, by the way he had been seducing Kaoru so expertly. Her flush deepened at her train of thought and she looked up, directly into Battousai's gleaming golden eyes. He was enjoying this! Kaoru growled at him low and was shocked when he growled back just as low, so that only she could hear him over Sanosuke and Yahiko's argument.
