Chapter Five

_________________________________________________________________ ____

 

Kaoru stared at the door for a long moment, still pressed against the wall where Battousai had left her. Her heart was racing, her body tingling with excitement and her legs felt weak. She shakily reached up and touched a finger to her lips, noticing absently that they were bruised and swollen from the attentions of the red-haired demon. Demon...Kaoru's lips curved slightly, as she relaxed. Yes, that word was apt! Battousai was a demon when it came right down to it. His eyes a flashing gold, his every movement graceful, controlled and seductive and his words that could fill a person with terror or desire. The breath whooshed out of her and she almost slid to the floor. She hastily straightened herself and headed for the furo on almost-boneless legs. "He's going to be the death of me!" she said, her voice thready. She reached the furo and unwound the towel from the rest of her body, staring down at the bruises she could see forming. But she didn't regret it; not for one moment. He had scared her for a second-he was so intense-but when she had tried to stop him, he had obeyed. Kaoru stepped into the furo and sank into the water with a grateful sigh.

A quick look towards the door showed her that it was still closed. Battousai could come back, she was sure. But his words...'see you at dinner', had been a promise. He was giving her space to relax then, but not later. "Kenshin, I just don't understand you," she sighed, running her hands over her face, leaving trails of water behind. Her blue eyes stared at the wall in bewilderment. The emotions he raised in her were just scary. She wanted him so very much, even if she didn't quite understand what she wanted. She just...yearned. So very much. She loved everything about him. His ever-changing eyes, his beautiful red hair, his body, the way he gave that quirky half-smile, his endearing 'oro's', his gentleness and kindness and the way he protected those he loved. There was so much more that she could have listed, but instead she let her mind wander. Absently, her hand drifted over her breasts, touching the nipples that still felt so tender from his touch. Down, over her stomach and between her legs. Her finger brushed the flesh down there that she had never touched but to clean and an electric shock shot up through her stomach. Kaoru gasped and jerked her hand away, flushing brightly. "God!" she breathed, staring down into the water at her own body, which lately seemed to belong to a stranger. "What was that?" she whispered, hand hesitating over her stomach. She bit her lip, then jerked her hand out of the water.

She didn't know what that was, but it had felt so good. Like when Battousai touched her, kissed her. "I've got to talk to Megumi!" Kaoru cried out, eyes wide and startled. She just didn't understand her own body, but she would as soon a she could talk to the lady doctor. Kaoru wasn't a girl of the world, but she knew what was happening easily enough. She knew that it had to do with her desire for Kenshin. But she'd never felt these things before and they were as exciting as they were frightening. But she also had no idea what to do with those feelings.

_________________________________________________________________ ____

He'd gone too damned far! Battousai stepped away from the bathhouse when he heard Kaoru enter the water. Kaoru in the furo, with no clothes on, was entirely too tempting. His fists clenched as he made his way across the yard into the main house. "How could I have pressed her like that? Touched her that way?" he murmured furiously, golden eyes blazing beneath the cover of his red hair. He didn't want Sano and Yahiko to see him that way, so he instead headed into the Dojo. "Damn!" he snarled, his fist shooting up. He impacted with wood and the beams shattered, leaving a sizable hole in the Dojo wall. Battousai never noticed, still lost in his own hell. He had pushed her too far and she had been afraid. If Kaoru hadn't slapped him, god knew what he would have done to her. Battousai was lost in self-loathing for many minutes, mind replaying the scene with Kaoru over and over. She was just a young girl and he had run his hands over her body was as if she were a woman of loose morals. He should have known better!

"Damn it to hell!" he roared, first crashing into the Dojo wall again. And then again. Suddenly he sensed Yahiko approaching and turned his face that way as the boy and Sanosuke appeared in the doorway.

Sanosuke took one look at the decimated wall, the blazing golden eyes and the tenseness in Kenshin's body and knew that their presence would not be appreciated.

"Woah, Kenshin-eep!" Yahiko broke off his gawking and his stammered words as Sano grabbed him under the arms and hauled him away.

"Lets go peel some potatoes, Yahiko," Sano's voice drifted back to Battousai.

Sano and Yahiko's presence had been like an ice-cold bucket of water thrown over Battousai's rage and anguish. He blinked and turned his head back to the wall, his haze of anger and loathing receding. "Oro!" the man-slayer said, sounding very Kenshin-like in his mortification. Kaoru would have gaped at him if she could have seen the mighty Battousai with such an expression on his face, his golden eyes rather sheepish. Kaoru was going to murder him when she saw what he'd done to her Dojo! Half the wall was gone and there were splinters of wood and beams all over the floor. Absently, he raised his fist and stared at the red flesh. Amber eyes returning swiftly to purple, Kenshin shook his head. He had, once again, let his dark side take over. Both with Kaoru and with the Dojo wall. Rage and desire were very strong emotions and they belonged solely to Battousai. "What have I done?" he whispered, thoughts reaching out longingly to where Kaoru was; as if he could feel the presence of her mind across the yard. He could have hurt her. Could have...raped her. His eyes closed in regret. Kaoru was such a child still and she had been no match for Battousai. He could not let this happen again.

Kenshin's eyes opened and he stared at nothing for a long moment. He had forced her and she had slapped him. Thank god she had! He sighed deeply, very troubled. Was ever a man more cursed? He was fighting himself! Darkness verses light.

["I'm not ready."]

Of course she wasn't! She was only a young girl, who thought she knew her mind and didn't understand her body at all. He doubted she knew what her body was really telling her when she reacted to his every touch. Lavender eyes became gold-flecked as his body temperature began to rise in remembrance. Her eyes so dazed and filled with startled desire. Her body writhing under his. God how he wanted her! He could almost taste it. Taste her. He loved everything about her. Her beautiful hair, her eyes, the smile, the way she smelled like flowers, her kind nature. So much...and he wanted more. The longing was almost overwhelming and he was starting to give into Battousai. The very person that he should have been keeping from his beloved Kaoru. The problem was...Battousai was him. How the hell could be fight himself?

["I'm not ready."]

Kenshin's head rose, a frown between his brow as he turned and headed for the Dojo door. He kicked wood to the side, stepping over the mess. She wasn't ready. But...she hadn't said no. She hadn't said never. She had just said, not now. Kenshin exited the building and he walked slowly across the yard, lost in thought. Perhaps he was looking at this whole situation from the wrong angle. Kaoru did want him as much as he wanted her and he had stopped when she requested. So, the problem was not so much stopping himself from seducing her, as she was a willing victim. He grinned suddenly, amused. Victim. Was there ever a more willing victim? Kaoru's moans filled his mind and his body tensed in remembrance. And such a responsive victim she had been. He sighed, deflating once more and becoming depressed. No, it wasn't so much keeping his hands off her, as it was stopping himself from hurting her. Battousai was a killer and willing or not, Kaoru now had his full attention. But could he ever really let himself go? Could he...ever trust himself with her?

Sano heard him approaching and appeared in the doorway as Kenshin walked along the deck in his direction. "So-Kenshin..." the man said, peering at Kenshin's face to assess who he was addressing.

"It's me, Sano," Kenshin said wearily, summoning a faint smile.

"Did you let out all that you needed to?" Sano said carefully, hands slipping into his pants-pockets. Kenshin looked as if his best friend had just died! What on earth had cause such a rage in his friend? "Want to talk about it?"

"No," Kenshin said shortly, eyes lowering to the deck. He couldn't talk about that sort of thing with Sano! He'd be embarrassed for Kaoru's sake.

"Okay," the taller man sighed, saddened to see his friend this way. He had an idea that something had happened between Kenshin and Kaoru and it had not gone very well. But what could it have been after such a heated kiss? The way those two had melded together in the yard had been enough sexual energy to power every light in Tokyo!

Kenshin stiffened as he suddenly sensed Kaoru's presence. He turned his head to see her exiting the bath-house, hair damp. She looked beautiful in her dry kimono, face flushed from the heat of furo.

Kaoru froze, sensing Kenshin. She looked up at him on the deck, paused half-way across the yard. She saw Sano there from the corner of her eye, but her whole being was focused on Kenshin. His face showed regret and depression, as well as a heart-breaking longing. For a long moment, their eyes met and they came to an understanding. Her blue eyes showed forgiveness and his showed relief.

Sanosuke coughed, looking away from his two friends, whose hearts were showing starkly in their eyes. Whatever was going on between those two, it was their business. He would only interfere if Kenshin over-stepped his bounds and did something he shouldn't.

"K-Kenshin, is dinner ready?" Kaoru said, a blush starting on her cheeks. She finally dragged her eyes from Kenshin's as his began to wander downwards in an absent manner. He was blatantly sorry for what had transpired between them, but he was just as blatantly unable to keep his eyes from her body! She could see what he was thinking. He wanted her to know how he regretted their last encounter, but at the same time, let her know that he still wanted her just as much as was not going to give up. And by god, she wanted him that much too! They could move past the incident in the bathroom. She knew what Battousai was like and she could deal with his passions. He just needed to understand that she needed time.

Purple eyes flecked with amber slid over Kaoru's body, the longing inside him rising again. Rurouni knew Sano was there, but he wanted to show Kaoru how much he still wanted her. They were still playing a game and he fully intended to win. But he would down-play it now. He didn't want to scare her or push her again, but he would not let her slip away either.

Sanosuke glanced back at Kenshin to see if their meaningful looks were done with-and he encountered a lust-filled gaze! Good god, would those two never cease?! He coughed again and looked to Kaoru to see that her own expression was filled with desire, but also embarrassment. "Kenshin-dinner?" he prodded his friend slightly with his elbow, wishing he could escape this embarrassing scene.

Rurouni felt a prod in the side and threw an annoyed look at Sanosuke. Did the man not know that it was polite to leave when one inadvertently witnessed a private moment? "What?" he said crossly, eyes narrowing. Then Sano's words connected and he sighed, gold leaving his eyes. "Dinner; right."

"Dinner! Yes!" Kaoru gasped out, released from Rurouni's heated gaze. He had not become Battousai, but those half-gold, half-purple eyes had been enough! She began walking towards the two, studiously avoiding Kenshin's now-calm eyes. Her emotions were still too raw right then. "Is dinner done or do you-" she choked at the thought of being so close to him. "-need a hand to peel vegetables?"

Kenshin smiled gently at her as she stepped onto the deck and headed towards them. Kaoru was clearly nervous at the thought of helping him. His smile widened, as again Rurouni emerged and gazed at his beloved mischievously. The temptation to play with her more was almost overwhelming. He sighed, eyes resting on her lovely face pensively now. No, he would not do anything more that night. He would give her a respite till morning. She was clearly nervous and on edge and he would not take advantage of that. Perhaps...Kaoru passed him, heading into the house and he inhaled her warm scent. His eyes closed longingly. God she smelled good! He licked his lips. "Mmm," he purred, following her. Who was he kidding? He could no sooner keep his hands from that beautiful woman, than he could cut off his own arm! Good lord, was he in trouble.

Sanosuke rolled his eyes.

_________________________________________________________________ ____

Was that a noise? Kaoru shot up in bed, eyes wide in her face. She looked towards her screen door, ears strained. No. It had just been the wind. She flopped back onto her pallet. Dinner had gone off without a hitch and it had made Kaoru even more acutely aware of Kenshin. He hadn't touched her, looked at her with his golden eyes or even flirted slightly. She frowned. He was up to something! A man just didn't have a heated encounter in a bathroom, practically devouring you on the spot and then blow cold the rest of the evening! But that was exactly what had happened. Kaoru had left the bathroom, dressed in a comfortable kimono. She'd even tied her obi with a double knot in case he tried his little unraveling trick again.

Upon entering the kitchen, she saw that dinner had not even been begun. What had he been up to while she'd been in the furo? She'd warily asked to help with dinner and the two of them had worked together silently, while Sano and Yahiko sat at the table talking. Kenshin tried absolutely nothing during the dinner preparation! And so she had expected something during their meal-but nothing! Polite conversation flowed between them, continuing on to the washing of the dishes and then to bed-time. Nothing had happened! Absolutely nothing! Kaoru growled under her breath and glared at the wall. And what was worse-Kenshin had known that she had been prepared for his advances and therefore had tried nothing. "He's driving me crazy!" she said angrily, hands winding into her blanket as if she had them about Kenshin's neck.

What was going on here? Was he trying to send her around the bend? And that slight smile he'd given her before she went to her bed! He was perfectly aware that she had expected him to try something and was frustrated because he hadn't! "Damn him!" she growled, glare intensifying. If a guy was seducing a girl, he just didn't blow hot and cold like that. It wasn't done that way! "Go to sleep, Kaoru!" she berated herself, turning onto her side and yanking the blanket under her armpit. Kenshin wasn't coming. He wasn't going to open her door and come in from under cover of shadows and kiss her senseless. "I'm going to kill him!" she whined, deflating. Okay, so she wanted him to do all those things to her. Especially under cover of night. Was she a loose woman? She bit her lip, tiredness stealing over her. What kind of girl dreamed of Battousai coming into her room in the dead of night and ravishing her?

Kaoru shifted, trying to get comfortable, her eyes falling shut. "I want...him," she whispered longingly. As her mind drifted off towards sleep, she thought she heard her door slide open, but she was just too tired to care.

_________________________________________________________________ ____

Battousai stole quietly into Kaoru's room, hearing her last comment. He had intended to leave her for the night, but had found himself in a losing battle. He had been absolutely right when he had thought that he could not stay away from her. Lying alone in his room, all he could think of was her. As much as he regretted the incident in the bath-house, she had forgiven him and they could move on. But he would have to be careful, so very careful not to hurt her or force her in any way. He had pondered over what was happening between them and wondered if he was really good enough for her. Did she really want a man with so much blood on his hands? But the question was, could he keep his hands off what was his?

He padded across the floor on bare feet, dressed only in pants slung low about his hips. Battousai's golden eyes caressed Kaoru's sleeping face and drooping mouth. How tempting. She was so precious to him. He crouched at her side and bent over her, breathing in her flowery scent. His fingers reached out to tentatively brush the strands of midnight hair from her face, brushing her cheek. "So beautiful, my Kaoru," he murmured, smiling gently.

Her sleeping yakuta gaped open slightly as she stirred under his touch and rolled onto her back. Battousai's smile widened lasciviously. "Very beautiful. Very desirable and touchable," he said silkily, moving closer. His head dipped until his breath wafted over her face, lips almost touching hers. She did not wake and he was somewhat disappointed. "Kaoru," he breathed, his tongue emerging from his mouth. He touched it lightly to her top lip, tasting her. Battousai groaned and Kaoru echoed it, stirring in her sleep. So responsive, even unknowingly! He briefly gave into his desires and pressed his lips against hers. God, how he wanted to deepen that kiss! Reluctantly, he drew back, face hovering over hers. His amber eyes slid down the curve of her neck, lustfully, and paused over the curve of her breasts. She was almost spilling from her gaping yakuta! He groaned. This woman was haunting him! Every single thing about her made him want her more-and she wasn't even doing anything!

"Mine. Always mine." Battousai growled, his hand reaching for her. His palm slid over the curve of her right breast and then into her yakuta, flesh sliding over the nipple and the smooth globe. He cupped her warm skin for a long moment, tempted to taste her, but then he realized what he was doing. He reluctantly withdrew his hand and closed her top, drawing back from her to sit against the wall. He had given her this night and he would keep that promise. However, come morning...she was all his. Battousai settled back more comfortably in an upright position against the wall and closed his eyes to wait for the dawn. Briefly, his eyes flashed open as he recalled something. He would have to ask Sanosuke to repair the Dojo walls in the morning, before Kaoru could see the mess he had left!

_________________________________________________________________ ____

Kaoru's eyes opened and she yawned, stretching. It was then that she sensed someone very close and her head jerked to the side, eyes colliding with lazy golden one's. "Kenshin!" she gasped, reaching down to jerk her blanket up to her chin. There was really no point, since he'd seen her naked and he'd touched all those places, but she'd feel safer if he couldn't see her! Kenshin was laying on his side, right next to her, head propped up casually on one elbow. He was bare from the waist up, his warm chest pressed into her forearm.

Battousai smiled, face centimeters from her own. "Good morning, Kaoru," he murmured.

"What are you doing?!" she hissed at him, mortified that he'd seen her asleep. What if she drooled? And god his chest was magnificent. A petite, slender man he was, but he was a beautifully-toned body beneath his clothes that just made her want to run her hands over him.

"Watching you sleep. You look beautiful with your face so relaxed and open," he murmured idly, enjoying her flushed, sleepy look.

"Get out!" she snapped, eyes blazing.

"Make me," he retorted, grinning mockingly. A morning tussle with her would be very welcome!

"I'll make you, alright-!" she began, but broke off when Battousai abruptly disappeared from sight. He just...vanished.

Seconds later, her screen crashed open and Yahiko stood there, frowning. "Get up, Ugly!" he yelled, then slammed the screen closed again.

"That boy has no manners!" Kaoru glared darkly at her door. She sat up, letting the blanket fall to her waist and then she remembered Battousai. She hurriedly looked around and spotted him in the far corner of her room, pressed against the wall. He was so still that Yahiko hadn't spotted him, thankfully! It was scary the way that man could blend into any given scenery! "I'm going to have a bath now," she announced haughtily, deciding to ignore his presence.

"Would you like me to wash your back?" he offered, voice filled with insinuation and mockery. His tone was so smooth and husky that Kaoru involuntarily shivered in anticipation.

"Kenshin! Where's breakfast! I'm starving here!" Yahiko bellowed from outside, apparently looking for the red-haired man.

"You haven't cooked breakfast?" Kaoru demanded, standing up and rounding on the man. "Just how long have you been in here?"

"Most of the night." Battousai said easily, amber eyes raking over her form from head to toe and back.

"You hentai!" Kaoru gasped in outrage, arms coming up to cover her chest. The way he had just been looking at her had been as if her yakuta wasn't there. How dare he look at her as if she were a tasty-treat and make her want to throw herself into his arms? Her blue eyes glazed slightly. And just why exactly was she resisting that urge?! Wait, wasn't she was angry with him?

"No, I would be hentai if I touched you while you slept. Merely sitting beside you is hardly perverted," he said in amusement, walking towards to her. She didn't need to know what he'd done during the night. Her body had known his touch, even while she slept and that fact made him even more possessive of her. Kaoru truly was his.

Kaoru eyed the red-haired man, who seemed to be stalking her yet again. His every movement was graceful and reminded her sharply of a large cat. "Of course it's hentai!" she protested, backing away as he reached her. "You just spent the night in the room of an unmarried girl!"

"It wasn't the first time."

"You've been in other unmarried girl's rooms at night?!"

"No, just yours."

"Arrggggh!" she shrieked in mortification, stumbling over her blanket. Her arms wind-milled as she struggled to regain balance.

"Let me help you with that," he murmured. Battousai grinned as he reached for her arms, yanking her to his chest swiftly, then moving backwards with his god-like speed to pin her to the wall.

Before Kaoru could even blink, his arms were tight about her waist and back and she found herself pressed into the wall beyond her pallet. "Hey! Hey!" she gasped, looking up to his amber eyes, which were staring right into hers wickedly. "You were just waiting all night to do this, weren't you?!" she yelled at him. Why was it that she constantly found herself pressed between some unyielding object and his body?

"I cannot tell a lie," he murmured with a lascivious grin. "And you give me so many opportunities too."

"I don't do it on purpose!" she protested.

"Don't you?" he said, watching her. His face moved closer and his lips pressed to her left cheek, trailing a burning path down to her chin. "Don't you just-" his lips pressed against hers hungrily for a moment before trailing over to her right cheek. "-long for my touch, Kaoru?" he questioned huskily into her ear.

"K-Kenshin," she stammered, eyes huge. When he was like this, her heart almost stopped and she felt like giving herself fully to him to do whatever he wanted.

"Kenshin!" Yahiko bellowed from outside Kaoru's room.

Kaoru pushed against Battousai's chest in panic, convinced that Yahiko would come bursting into her room any moment, to ask her where Kenshin was. Surprisingly, Battousai backed off when her hands shoved at his chest.

"Maybe we should send those two off for the day," he murmured wickedly, amber eyes gleaming at her.

Kaoru's blue eyes widened in shock. Send them away? But that would leave her alone with Battousai! "No!" she gasped at him, pushing him further away from her so that she could step past him. As she stepped over her pallet, she hear him draw in a deep breath and she flushed brightly. He was smelling her! Oh god, that was so erotic!

"No?" Battousai said, not surprised. He tended to forget that Kaoru was an innocent girl, because her will was so strong and she often appeared older and more worldly than her years. He straightened and turned to face her, smiling. "Alright," he murmured.

"Alright?" Kaoru glanced over her shoulder in astonishment. He wasn't going to insist? This WAS the man who had just pinned her to the wall, right? Her eyes narrowed as he walked towards her. "What are you up to, Battousai?"

"What makes you think I'm up to anything, my sweet?" Battousai said silkily. He stopped in front of her and leant in close, till his lips brushed hers.

Kaoru stood still as his lips touched hers with the barest hint. Was he going to kiss her or not? His golden eyes studied her own for a long moment, his nose pressing into hers. From that angle, she could see all the emotions in his eyes. Lust, hunger and...love? Her eyes widened.

Battousai smiled in satisfaction. Kaoru had seen the love in his eyes, which had been his intention. Now, to throw her off again. His lips pressed against hers hard, for a long moment and then he pulled back and moved past her. "I'll have breakfast ready in ten minutes. Why don't you...freshen up?" he said casually.

Kaoru gaped at his back as he stopped at the screen door of her room and listened for a moment, before opening it. He took a step forward, then halted. "By the way, Kaoru," he purred, turning his head to throw her a heated look, "You smell delicious." And then he was through the doorway and the screen was pulled shut behind him.

Kaoru continued gaping at her screen, eyes wide. Then she flushed slowly and smiled. "I smell delicious," she whispered, reaching up to touch her lips with a finger.
